They chatted until the sun set, and then everyone went home to cook. He Qiu Sheng came back with a turtle the size of two palms, his wrist raised high.
Facing his family, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said proudly,
"Today, when the canteen went to purchase a batch of fish, we happened to see someone selling turtles. I saw that they were quite big, probably three or four years old, so I simply bought them with my own money.
I'll make some soup later to nourish our family, especially Dongbao. You've been studying hard these past few days, and I see you've lost weight."
He Xiaojie happened to be at her parents' house. Upon hearing this, she ran over and circled in front of him, "Uncle San, only my aunt has lost weight, but I haven't lost weight?"
He Qiusheng actually looked her up and down and shook his head frankly, "She's not thin, she's quite plump. It's better for girls to be a little plump, it makes them look blessed."
After saying that, without waiting for He Xiaojie to lose her temper, he immediately slipped away and squatted beside the faucet to process the turtle.
The whole family had dinner together, and the big round table was almost full of people.
It was rare for everyone to be here. Zhao Meiya sighed, "Our family is only missing Xia Sheng and Qiao Rui, otherwise it would be more complete than the Chinese New Year."
He Dagen put a piece of the turtle's skirt into her bowl. This part was all gelatinous and soft and chewy. He said, "Didn't Xia Sheng say they would be back this year? By then, all the kids will have been admitted to university, and we can get together to celebrate. That would be really lively."
"She always talks nice things and changes her mind at the last minute more than once. She always has an excuse."
Zhao Meiya didn't want to continue discussing her troublesome second daughter, so she turned around and asked about the other children's preparations and whether they were confident of getting into a good university.
Except for He Xiaohua, everyone who was asked avoided looking, obviously having little confidence in themselves.
He Chunsheng got angry when he saw how they were afraid before the battle. He reached out and lifted He Yanshi onto his lap, feeding her a large piece of meat. "Lingling, don't follow your aunt and uncle in the future. You need to sit still, pay attention in class, and listen to your teacher."
The day before yesterday, He Ruixue organized an informal mock exam to test everyone's level.
Faced with the bright red score, He Chunsheng had to accept the fact that raising four children was not as good as raising one by his third brother's family.
He was really unwilling to accept it.
You said that He Qiu Sheng taught seriously and devoted all his energy to one child.
The couple basically let their children do whatever they want, and occasionally ask He Xiaohua to take care of them in return.
He has to do a lot of work after school and has to worry about everything at home and outside.
He put limited energy into studying but was able to do so well that his own children couldn't even catch up.
Could it be that he only visits his ancestral grave once every Chinese New Year, and his ancestors can see He Qiu Sheng all year round, so they only bless him?
He Chunsheng refused to give in and planned to spend money to renovate his ancestral grave and erect a more majestic tombstone next year.
After that, he planned to raise the third generation. After all, he already had two grandchildren, but his younger brother's was nowhere to be seen.
I'm several years ahead of him at the starting line, so I won't be overtaken by anyone, right?
However, the reality is not optimistic. He Yannuo has already become enlightened and has perfectly inherited He Xiaotuan's IQ. No matter how many times he is taught a question, he still won't get it.
Nowadays, parents don’t help their children with their homework, they leave it all to the teachers.
He Chunsheng, however, had high expectations for He Yannuo, and personally taught him calligraphy, turning him into the Roaring Emperor in minutes.
"There are only five strokes in total. I've taught you ten times, but you still can't write them. You should be able to draw them, right?"
"You recognize this word in the article, but you don't recognize it when you take it out alone?"
In just half an hour, he completely lost his patience and wanted to bang his head against the wall. After a few times, he gave up.
Now, almost all his hopes were placed on He Yanshi. Whenever he had free time, he would hold her in his arms and listen to stories on the radio, teach her to read picture books and recognize words. From time to time, he would hold her in his arms and take a walk to the street corner. When he passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, he would always buy some biscuits and candies, and he never let her come back empty-handed.
Lu Lan was surprised.
When He Yannuo was born, the father-in-law was happy, but not to this extent. Could it be that the tradition of the He family is to value daughters?
After witnessing the excellence of her two aunts, she seemed to understand the tradition of the He family. She valued He Yanshi more than just love, and decided to spend a lot of effort to cultivate her.
In this way, a beautiful misunderstanding was born and passed on to the next generation.
After dinner, everyone sat in the yard to digest the food, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers blew in the wind.
He Ruixue held He Xiaoxu and sat under the eaves, teaching her to count on her fingers, while Jiang Yanxu sat beside her, fanning herself.
The courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, and Ye Zhen stepped over with a small cloth bag.
Caught off guard by so many people, she paused for a moment, then instantly put on a bright smile and greeted them one by one.
"Oh, they're all here. What a coincidence!"
She handed the thing in her hand to Pan Shuyu, "Here, these are the walnuts your brother sent me. He said that eating them can nourish the brain.
Xiaohua has always been a good student and will definitely be able to get into a good university. In the future, our Pan family will also have an educated person who can hold his head high wherever he goes."
Zhao Meiya loved to hear flattery, so she smiled and pulled her to sit down. "Look at what you said. Your captain Pan is so majestic. Who dares to bully you?"
The Jiang family was previously reported, which eventually produced a series of consequences.
After half a year of hard work, Jiang Xun finally brought down his political enemy and immediately went into hiding.
He usually shows up for work on time, only does his job, never talks much, and during meetings, he follows the crowd and offers opinions. He is so low-key that he almost makes people not know he is there.
The Jiang family's old friends who had been in contact with them in the past separated openly, those who had close relationships turned to being close in secret, and those who had mediocre relationships simply took the opportunity to cut off contact.
