Gu Hong was a little pretentious.
Gu Xiuwu originally had a hot temper, and when he heard him say this, the veins on his head immediately showed up, and he was about to speak when he was stopped by Shen Ningsi.
"Xiuwu, go to the kitchen and help me serve the food!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, he pulled Gu Xiuwu away.
Seeing this, Gu Xiuwen silently followed them to the kitchen.
Gu Hong had recovered some of his strength by this time, and as he was in a good mood, he also went to the kitchen.
After a while, four people put the rice and dishes on the table.
The twins took a bath and fell asleep at this moment.
When Gu Yuner saw Gu Hong, her eyes lit up, but looking at the expressions on her two brothers' faces, she sat there obediently, eating her meal in small bites.
"General Gu, thank you for what you did today."
Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Hong who was eating happily and said sincerely.
"Shen Ningsi, there's no need to be polite with me, this is what I should do!"
Gu Hong swallowed the food in his mouth and spoke nonchalantly.
"However, today's dishes taste much worse! They definitely didn't come from your hand."
Gu Hong's tone was very firm.
But he still ate very quickly, probably because he was extremely hungry.
"Mom is not feeling well. My eldest brother prepared today's meal. You can eat it or not!"
Gu Xiuwu couldn't bear it anymore this time!
"If I tell you to come and eat, you should just enjoy the meal. Why are you being so picky? Do you think this is a restaurant? If General Gu doesn't like the food here, he can go to one of those restaurants or hotels!"
During this period, shops in the surrounding towns have started to open for business.
"Damn it, I'm wrong to say that this meal wasn't made by your mother?"
Gu Hong felt a little depressed.
These kids' attitude towards him is really nitpicking.
"It's not good for such a large family to have to bear all the responsibilities on your shoulders. Xiuwen and Xiuwu are both at the age to study, and they can't neglect their studies. Shen Ningsi, how about this general buy you a maid?"
Gu Hong suppressed the anger in his heart, because he could clearly feel that Shen Ningsi was much thinner than before!
When Shen Ningsi heard him say this, he raised his head, and a glimmer of light flashed in his dark eyes.
She also thought about hiring someone to work at home, just like the nannies of her time.
In the past, if a village woman had no money and no status and hired a maid or old woman to serve her, she would definitely be talked about by others!
It’s different now, she is the county lord.
Seeing her strong expression, Gu Hong guessed that Shen Ningsi was moved by his proposal.
"Mother? It would be nice to find a maid to help at home."
Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu also looked at Shen Ningsi.
The mother has to take care of three siblings and two younger siblings, and also has to go out to prepare three meals a day for the family. Even an iron man would not be able to endure it for a long time!
If there was one more person to help at home, my mother would have a much easier time.
"I'll ask someone to find a reliable maid these days."
Gu Hong was full by now, so he left in a hurry after saying this.
"Mother, I think we can find a maid. We are not short of money at home now. Besides, you are the county lady now. Those people won't dare to have any bad intentions."
Gu Xiuwen thought about it for a while and felt that what Gu Hong said was right this time.
"Let's take care of the wine issue first, then we can deal with the maid's issue. It will only take a few days anyway."
Shen Ning thought for a while and didn't care about these few days anyway.
"Mom, Yun'er can take good care of An'an and Kang'kang!"
Gu Yuner patted her chest.
"Yun'er is the best. Once everything is settled, I'll find someone to teach you embroidery, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
"No, mother, Yun'er should stay at home to take care of her younger siblings, she doesn't want to learn these things!"
Gu Yuner said in a baby voice.
"No, Yun'er, even if you are not proficient in these things, you must learn them! Otherwise, you will be looked down upon by others in the future."
The expression on Shen Ningsi's face was more serious than ever.
Now, the identities of the children are different from before.
If it were in the past, she could lead them to live a rich life, and Yun'er would just marry a man of equal status in the future.
It’s different now. If Yun’er gets married in the future, the other party’s family background will not be too low.
If you don't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, you will be ostracized by your in-laws even if you marry into their family.
"Mother can't protect you forever, so Xiuwen, Xiuwu, Yun'er, you must enrich yourselves! It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Everything you learn will only be yours if you learn it in your own head!"
Ana Shen said seriously.
"Got it?"
She looked at the three children who lowered their heads and remained silent, and her voice couldn't help but become heavier.
"Mom, we got it."
As the eldest brother, Gu Xiuwen was the first to speak. As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiuwu and Gu Yuner nodded.
"Well, Gu Hong is your father. Your future life will be glorious and brilliant. You have already started studying much later than others, and you can't delay any longer!"
"Mom, we got it. We will study hard in the future!"
Seeing the three of them express their opinions, Shen Ningsi finally showed a satisfied expression on his face.
Gu Xiuwen looked very conflicted, his fists clenched tightly. He opened his mouth to say something, then looked at his brother and sister-in-law beside him and swallowed it back.
"Well, there's hot water in the pot. Go back and wash up, then go to bed early."
Gu Xiuwu and Gu Yuner nodded repeatedly after hearing this, fetched some water and went back to their rooms to wash up.
Shen Ningsi had just cleaned up the dishes and was about to go back to the room to rest when she found that Gu Xiuwen had come back again without her knowing.
"Xiu Wen, why don't you go back and rest? You must be exhausted after a long day."
Shen Ningsi asked in surprise.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xiuwen walked in front of her and knelt down with a thud.
"Xiu Wen, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Shen Ningsi hurriedly reached out and pulled Gu Xiuwen to get him up.
"Mom, don't pull me! I..."
Gu Xiuwen paused here, looked at Shen Ningsi's anxious face, and kowtowed to her as if he had figured something out.
"Mom, there's something I've been hiding in my heart. If I don't say it today, I feel like I'll be suffocated to death!"
"If you have anything to say, get up and talk to me!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, she wanted to pull Gu Xiuwen up, but no matter how hard she tried, the latter still knelt there, motionless.
"Mom, there's something I've been hiding from you. Xiuwen, Yun'er, and I are not your biological children at all!"
