"The child's father is very patient and taught him over and over again personally. Besides, the children also love to learn (Yang Xiaobei praised them while teaching, and the children thought it was a great thing to be able to do these things). Then they did these small things by themselves. Of course, our whole family cooperated (Jiang He and his wife were reluctant at first, but Yang Xiaobei and his wife were of the same opinion, so Jiang He and his wife had to give in. Later, seeing that the child was getting better and better, Jiang He and his wife fully cooperated)." There is no child who cannot be taught. It depends on whether you are willing to spend time and patience, and whether you are willing to let them suffer. Obviously, you, Zhang Meihua, are reluctant.
"I still want to wait until they are older before teaching them. I can't bear to teach them when they are too young."
"I understand, I understand. At first, I was a little worried and reluctant to let him go. He's not as eloquent as his father, and I can't argue with him, so I just listened to him for the time being. But after his father taught him for a while, I felt pretty good. The child has become much more sensible and much easier to raise than before."
Zhang Meihua laughed, not believing it at all. "Hasn't my uncle always listened to you? He did whatever you told him to do."
Jiang Shushu also laughed, "He only listens to things that make sense. He won't listen to things that don't make sense or when he thinks his ideas are better than mine. Instead, he'll lecture me. If I win the argument, he'll listen to me. If I can't win the argument, I'll listen to him." He also has a bottom line and his own opinions, and he won't listen to everything I say.
"Haha... then you pretend to scold your uncle twice. He will be obedient after scolding him twice." You have to lose your temper when you need to, otherwise it will seem like you have no temper.
Jiang Shushu thought about the scene of himself making trouble for no reason. The picture was too beautiful to imagine. He couldn't stand it himself, let alone others.
"Haha... Stop scolding me. I just like him this way. He hasn't changed before or after marriage." It doesn't make sense for someone to live according to my wishes just because they're married. If Xiaobei just obeyed me in everything, without any masculinity, a sense of right and wrong, and responsibility, I probably wouldn't be dating him. After all, I'm not someone who likes trouble. I want my partner to be self-reliant, able to regulate their emotions, and handle their own affairs. He should bring me positive and optimistic emotional values, not someone who is constantly pessimistic.
…
Jiang Shushu checked the time. "Meihua, please sit here for a while and help look after the kids. I'll go cook dinner. After everyone finishes eating, my dad and I will ride our bikes to take you back to the village. It's the busy farming season now. Usually, they're planting soybeans and sweet potatoes at this time, so there's a high chance that the oxcarts won't be coming to the city today."
"Aunt, no need. Dad said that Eighth Grandpa will come to get fertilizer in the afternoon and will pick us up here at 5 o'clock at the latest. We can just go back and eat."
"You're welcome. How can I not eat when I come to my place? I have to show off my cooking skills to Xiaolan and Xiaofei. I specially prepared delicious food for the children today. It's just right that Uncle Ba is here. He can stay for dinner. I'll let Uncle Ba accompany my dad for dinner. My dad has nagged Uncle Ba several times."
"Thank you, auntie. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, just look after the kids."
Jiang Shushu had just finished eating when Jiang He and his wife came back. They were very happy to see Zhang Meihua and the child. They were also very happy to know that Zhang Meihua was going to take the college entrance examination and asked a lot of questions.
Jiang Shushu prepared the meal, took out a little of each dish, and put it aside for Yang Xiaobei.
When Jiang Laoba came to pick them up, Jiang He pulled him in for a meal. Jiang Shushu's fried chicken strips were warmly welcomed and loved by the four children. After the meal, Jiang Laoba took Zhang Meihua and her son back to Jiangjia Village.
Jiang He sent Xu Hehua to take care of Huan Huanlele and went to find Jiang Shushu.
Jiang Shushu looked at Jiang He, who seemed to be about to speak, and guessed what was going on: "Dad, is there something wrong?"
"Yes, it's about your college entrance exam. Around here, most people taking the exam are students or unmarried, and the discussion is basically all about this group of people. I didn't think of you at first, until I met Meihua. I realized that even those with children can take the college entrance exam..."
Jiang Shushu interrupted Jiang He and said, "Dad, I'm not interested in the college entrance examination. You don't have to tell me. I'm not a three-year-old child. I have plans for my future. I've already decided what I want to do in the next few years."
"Shushu, would you like to consider it? Getting into university is a big deal. I just heard from Meihua that there are people in their thirties applying. You're only twenty-eight, still young. Don't worry about the child. Your mom and I will help take care of it. Don't worry about tuition either. Your mom and I have over 400 yuan. I'll give it all to you to go to school."
"Dad, you don't have to persuade me. Xiaobei has already persuaded me. I am not interested in college. I know what I want and I want to follow my plan. After graduating from college, all I have to do is find a decent job, but I have no shortage of decent jobs now. Wenzhe, Wen Chencheng and Xiaohong all have good academic performance. Fenzhe will be able to take the college entrance examination in two years. Don't worry, the three of them will definitely be able to get into college. Even if they are two years late, our ancestors' graves will still be smoking." I won't join in the fun. This kind of smoking thing should be left to the young people. In our adult world, money is still the most important thing.
"Are you really not going to consider it again? You'll be respected after graduating from college." Jiang He still didn't give up.
"Not considering it."
Although Jiang He was disappointed, he didn't force it anymore. "Oh, okay, then I'll wait another two years."
On the other side, Zhang Meihua was holding her two children and sitting on a bullock cart half loaded with fertilizer. Zhang Meihua saw the haggard and emaciated Lin Jiaojiao on the bustling street at a glance.
Zhang Meihua couldn't help but curse in her heart: What bad luck! It's such a beautiful day, but I still see this unlucky thing.
Zhang Meihua quickly looked away, as if Lin Jiaojiao had polluted her eyes.
In my previous life, I was blind and stupid, and was killed by those two bitches, Yang Mingjun and Lin Jiaojiao. Blame it on my greed, blame it on my stupidity, blame it on my self-deception. I pinned all my hopes on men, making my life worthless. Only when I died did I realize that it's better to rely on yourself than on others. As long as you have enough ability, you are not afraid of anything.
This is also the reason why after Zhang Meihua got married, even though Jiang Xiaocheng gave all his salary except for the alimony for his parents to Zhang Meihua, Zhang Meihua still chose to go out to work. When she heard about the college entrance examination, she signed up without hesitation, just because Zhang Meihua wanted to have a better and smoother life in the future and make herself invincible.
Lin Jiaojiao also saw the radiant Zhang Meihua and her beautiful and lovely children.
