She rubbed Gu Yi's head and sighed in her heart.
I had been planning to go to the neighboring town after lunch, but something that happened this afternoon has forced me to do it tomorrow.
Fortunately, she has nothing to do tomorrow, and her manuscript for next week is almost finished, so a day or two won't be a big deal.
But tonight...
Not necessarily peaceful.
Su Jincai's family was frightened by the big leader from outside today. They haven't recovered yet and were forced to split up the family property by her. But after they recover, she will definitely come to cause trouble. Even if it's not something done openly, there will be a lot of things done secretly.
Just like school violence, no matter how strict the teacher is, the school bully has plenty of opportunities to discipline the honest students in the class where the teacher is not around.
It is useless to rely on leaders or village chiefs, you have to rely on yourself.
night.
Su Luo cooked a pot of noodles with the braised chicken shreds that she had specially saved during the day, and poured the noodles with the fragrant braised meat ingredients and juices, making the noodles intoxicating with the aroma.
Gu Yi ate a big bowl and wanted more, but Su Luo didn't serve him more. Eating too much at night was bad for the stomach. She had worked hard to keep Gu Yi healthy recently, so she couldn't force him to eat too much and upset his stomach.
Su Luo cooked noodles and Gu Yi was responsible for washing the dishes.
When the two of them came out after cleaning up, it was already completely dark.
In those days, almost no one in their village had a TV at home. In the summer evenings, when there was nothing to do after dinner, everyone would go out in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
The houses in this village are relatively spacious. Most of the courtyards are half a person's height and many are surrounded by bamboo or wooden boards. Everyone brings bamboo chairs to the courtyard to enjoy the cool air, fanning themselves with cattail leaves in their hands, which is quite comfortable.
Su Luo was in a good mood today, so after dinner she took Gu Yi to the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Gu Yi leaned beside her in a daze, "Mom, this kind of life is so good."
Su Luo smiled, patted his legs with a palm leaf fan to drive away mosquitoes for him, and asked excitedly: "Yi Yi, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
Gu Yi thought for a moment, looked at Su Luo, and suddenly said, "Mom, I don't want to study."
"Hmm?" Su Luo looked at him: "Why?"
Gu Yi pursed his lips: "Actually, I don't like reading."
Su Luo saw him with his head down and looking somewhat lost, and felt that he was worried about something.
In fact, although many children are very young, their thinking is already very mature.
Su Luo tried her best to make her attitude look more friendly: "What's the matter? You don't want to study, then what do you want to do when you grow up?"
Gu Yi said seriously: "I have many younger brothers and a younger sister at home. The tuition is very expensive. I want my younger brothers and sisters to go to school. I... I can go to the town to work as an apprentice and help my mother make money to support my younger brothers and sisters!"
Su Luo frowned slightly.
In the original owner's memory, Gu Yi sneaked out of the school to attend classes more than once, and when he saw the teacher passing by, he would excitedly bring a bowl of water from home to give to the teacher to drink.
Others bullied him many times, but if you give him a grid notebook and a pencil, he will accept the bullying without complaint.
Such a little fool actually said that he didn't want to study.
The dogs passing by would shake their heads and sigh when they heard this.
Su Luo held Gu Yi's little face in her hands very seriously: "Baby, raising your brothers and sisters is your mother's responsibility, not yours. Don't have those burdens. Just do whatever you want to do. Mom will work hard to create conditions for you and let you grow up well."
Gu Yi said stubbornly: "Isn't that too willful? I am the eldest in the family and I have the obligation to take care of my younger brothers and sisters."
"Of course not!" Su Luo said in a loud voice: "Who said that the eldest child has to take care of the younger siblings? Are your younger siblings your own?"
"No...no." Gu Yi was frightened by her serious attitude and shook his head subconsciously.
Su Luo nodded: "Yes, your younger siblings are not yours, and no one has ever said that the eldest child must take care of his younger siblings. So their existence is not your responsibility, but mine. You don't have to help your mother take the responsibility."
Gu Yi was still a little confused: "But... everyone is like this, the eldest should take care of the younger."
Su Luo said patiently, "Then everyone is wrong. It is obviously your mother who gave birth to you. You are no different from your other brothers and sisters. Why do you have to take care of them when you only came into this world a few minutes earlier than them? Do you want to trust others or your mother?"
"Believe in mom." Gu Yin said softly.
Su Luo smiled and said firmly: "Then just be a good boy and do whatever you want to do, don't think about your brothers and sisters.
You, like all your brothers and sisters, are your mother’s treasure.
Since mom has brought you into this world, she has the obligation to be responsible for each of you, to help you grow up healthily, and to teach you to distinguish right from wrong.
As for your daily expenses, food, clothing, housing and transportation, these are all your mother's responsibility. You don't have to take them on yourself.
If a mother needs her children to help lighten her burden, then that means she is a failure.”
Gu Yi's eyes turned red without him noticing, and he stared at her blankly.
Su Luo said pitifully: "Do you want Mom to become a failed mother?"
Gu Yi was choking with sobs and unable to speak. He could only grit his teeth and shake his head to stop himself from crying.
Su Luo laughed: "That's it.
Since you like studying, then study hard. Mom will solve the problem of your tuition fees.
Of course, when you grow up, study hard and become successful, you can repay your mother if you want to. If not, that’s okay too.
Your mother did not ask for your consent when she brought you into this world, so how can I force you to return the favor after I have fulfilled my obligation to raise you?
Wouldn't that be a robbery by force?"
"Then why did you give birth to me, mom?" Gu Yi's star-like eyes were filled with confusion: "Don't they all say that giving birth to children is to carry on the family line, so that someone will take care of you when you are old?"
Su Luo rubbed his head: "This is a beautiful misunderstanding. But your coming into this world is the best gift for mom. No matter what, mom hopes you can grow up happily. Then let's get back to the topic, is there anything you want to do most now?"
The mist in Gu Yi's eyes gradually dissipated, and the starlight lit up in his eyes. He said excitedly: "What I want to do most now is to read! Mom, I want to know many things, read many story books, and read the novels you wrote. I want to be a great writer like you when I grow up!"
Su Luo smiled with relief: "Then we all have to work hard~"
"Yeah!" Gu Yi nodded vigorously, the light in his eyes shining brighter than ever before, the clouds and mist dissipated, and it became clear and bright.
Su Luo rubbed his head.
Gu Yi thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Mom, why do you think differently from others?"
Su Luo also thought about it seriously and asked, "Why should my thoughts be the same as others'?"
Gu Yi was a little confused, but also seemed to understand a little. Some strange idea gradually sprouted in his mind.
