"Look at your face, maybe you just ran into something unpleasant again when you went out?"
Although Shen Ningsi's body has not fully recovered, he has no problem going out for a walk every day.
Her voice was extremely gentle. Even if Gu Xiuwen still had some things in his mind that he hadn't figured out, he wouldn't continue to frown in front of Shen Ningsi.
"Okay, Xiuwen, your original life trajectory definitely won't be staying in Wanning Village forever."
"So it doesn't matter what these people say or what they think of us, mother and son. We just need to do our own thing and have a clear conscience."
Gu Xiuwen originally thought that he was a person who had a very thorough understanding of human nature.
He would never force those who had benefited from him to be grateful, but when he found out that Shen Ningsi's actions were not remembered by these people, Gu Xiuwen had no way to ease his emotions.
"Mom, if they can't remember how good we are to them, why should we endure our discomfort and help them? They won't remember it anyway, right?"
"That's not what you said."
Shen Ningsi knew that the young man was completely confused now.
She did not ignore these things, but stood up with a very serious expression.
"Even if they can't remember what we did, we must never give up on ourselves. These people are brainless and don't know how to be grateful, but there are more grateful people in this world. If you think everyone in the world is bad and don't do good things, then what's the point of living in this world?"
In Shen Ningsi's opinion, the most terrifying thing is if one loses the curiosity that one should have about the world and no longer has good intentions towards others because the people one has come into contact with in the past are not good.
Shen Ningsi was busy comforting the boy who was getting stuck in a rut, and did not notice a familiar figure in the corner.
Gu Hong was a little dazed looking at Shen Ningsi's extremely determined eyes.
"Wen'er, you are destined to be a civil servant, and you will speak up for justice in the court for the people. If you yourself feel that the people you protect are not worth your efforts, then who will those people who have no one to rely on turn to?"
"If the people are to learn to be grateful, they must be educated. If civil officials no longer strive for opportunities for them to be educated, these people will only become increasingly pedantic and will never learn to be kind."
Gu Hong looked at Shen Ningsi's expressionless face as he said these words, took a deep breath, took a step back, and hid his figure in the corner of the earth wall.
Gu Xiuwu heard the sound and saw this scene when he walked out of the room. He curled his lips coldly.
"Now you know why we all think Mother is so good. It's not just because she treats us well from the bottom of her heart, but also because we can really learn a lot from her."
Gu Xiuwu could not learn from his brother to quote scriptures and praise the benefits that Shen Ningsi brought to them. Gu Xiuwu's words were straightforward, but he was able to more intuitively express what Shen Ningsi meant to them.
"Well, you've already said this countless times. There's no need to say anything more."
Gu Xiuwu immediately frowned. "What's wrong? I just told you some facts, but you can't stand it anymore? I didn't expect General Gu to be such an evasive person, unwilling to admit his mistakes or acknowledge the goodness of others."
Gu Hong rubbed his aching brow.
When I was in the army, I heard my comrades say that this little brat was really going to piss me off to death.
He didn't take it seriously at the time. After all, the two children in his family were quite smart and sensible.
But when he came back this time, Gu Hong found that everything had changed.
"I think what you said makes sense. Shen Ningsi's presence can indeed help you learn a lot, and he can also take good care of you. No matter what, this woman is more suitable than me to accompany you for a long time."
“…”
After Gu Hong said this, Gu Xiuwu was stunned. He had just prepared himself to have a big quarrel with Gu Hong.
"What are you thinking? Are you trying to please me and wait for me to betray you about my mother?"
Gu Xiuwu stared at Gu Hong intently, as if he wanted to see through his indifferent expression to see what was going on in his mind.
Gu Xiuwu looked at him warily, "I'm telling you not to have these evil thoughts. I absolutely won't support you staying with mother any longer."
"I want to treat my woman well, do I need your consent, a stinky boy?"
Gu Hong was so angry that he laughed. "I think what you said makes sense, but that's also a problem. Besides, what advice can you give me? I'm afraid even your brother doesn't understand what your mother is thinking."
After saying this, Gu Hong turned around and left Gu Xiuwu where he was, fuming with anger.
He did not show up to interfere with Shen Ningsi's teaching of Gu Xiuwen.
In Gu Hong's opinion, Shen Ningsi did raise the two children very well.
When Gu Hong appeared again after noon, Shen Ningsi had already put on her clothes and looked like she was ready to go out.
"I'll follow you."
Shen Ningsi's lips were still slightly pale, and his thin shoulders were clearly visible as he stood there.
"There's no need to bother accompanying General Gu. Most villagers are afraid of people with official positions. If you were to show up there, they wouldn't even want to hear about how to grow potatoes."
After Shen Ningsi said this, she never looked at Gu Hong again. She held Gu Yuner with one hand and touched Gu Xiuwu's hair with the other.
"I'll leave the house to you. An'an and Kang'kang have been crying a lot these past few days, so Wu'er, don't get angry."
Gu Xiuwu's face flushed immediately. "Mom, I'm just a little tired today. It's not that I hate Kang Kang, it's just that I'm too tired."
Perhaps it was because An An and Kang Kang were getting older, and their appetites had increased recently. Even the frequency of asking Aunt Zhang to come over to feed them had increased. Even someone as physically fit as Gu Xiuwu couldn't help but feel exhausted from running back and forth so often.
After running again today, he collapsed in the yard and refused to get up no matter who called him.
"Of course I know, and I also know that Xiuwu feels very happy doing these things."
Shen Ningsi smiled faintly, "That's why mother can give all these tasks to you."
But she couldn't ignore the fact that Gu Xiuwu was actually an impatient person, and Shen Ningsi didn't want to see brothers become resentful of each other.
If you want to guide your children and prevent them from harboring resentment, this is the only way.
Looking at Gu Xiuwu's faint smile, Shen Ningsi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
