Chapter 37 Zhao Lingmeng Teaches the Child
Zhao Lingmeng didn't feel bad or angry when she heard Sun Qijing say this. After all, humans are complex creatures, and the line between good and bad is not always clear.
Zhao Lingmeng squatted down to Sun Qijing's level, looked into his eyes, and said seriously: "Jing'er, I'm not angry when you say that. But I won't compromise because of you, because we are all ourselves first and then our roles.
So if you're worried about your grandmother, you can ask someone to bring her some banknotes. But the banknotes must be money you can control, such as money your mother or father gave you. You can't touch the money you use for school or food.
But if it's your lucky money or money for snacks and toys, you can give it. Even money you earn in the future is fine.
And if you study hard and pass the imperial examination soon, you can also bring your grandmother back home. But you can't ask Mom to do anything then. I have no obligation to do that.
I raised you because you are my sons. But I wasn't raised by your grandmother, so whether I am willing to treat her well depends on my mood.
When Sun Qijing heard his mother say this, he was stunned for a moment and was quite surprised. His mother meant that when he became successful in the future, he would take care of his grandmother and others, and his mother had no objection.
Sun Qijing actually had the answer in his heart. His mother probably didn't want to rely on himself! But he still wanted to take care of his mother. His mother was so kind, she didn't say bad things about his grandmother, and she didn't prevent him from contacting his grandmother and others.
"Then who will you follow when you are old?" Sun Qijing felt that his mother would definitely choose his second brother, but he still wanted to fight for it.
Sun Qiming, who was standing next to him, immediately raised his head and looked at his mother expectantly when he heard his elder brother ask this.
Zhao Lingmeng hadn't intended to deceive Sun Qijing. As someone who had received a socialist education, she didn't really care who she would live with in her old age; as long as she was given money, it was fine. But in ancient times, it was usually the eldest son who would live with her.
"I can't answer this question right now. But I'd rather live alone when I'm old! I don't want to be with any of you. When the time comes, I'll make more money and save it, and I'll have a bunch of people to take care of me. I can do whatever I want and go wherever I want.
If you miss me, just bring your wife and children to see me. What a comfortable life! Why do I have to live with you? "
Zhao Lingmeng is enjoying the days ahead, thinking that once he has raised these three little ones, his retirement life will not be far away, and he will live a comfortable life.
Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming felt a little disappointed when they heard this, especially Sun Qiming.
"Then I don't want to grow up. Mom won't want me when I grow up."
Zhao Lingmeng touched Sun Qiming's head, "Mom is here! Mom will be there when you turn around, but she won't follow you around. And you'll have a wife and children to accompany you in the future. Don't be afraid, Mommy!"
Sun Qiming didn't feel comforted, but he looked at his hands and realized he was just a child and had the final say. He thought to himself, "I don't listen to my mother! When I grow up, I'm going to take my mother back."
Zhao Lingmeng didn't realize it at the moment, but she would actually be following Sun Qiming around the country. Sun Qiming was working as an official all over the country, and Zhao Lingmeng wanted to see more of the world. It was dangerous for an old woman like her to travel alone, so Sun Qiming usually tricked her into leaving with various excuses. This often made Sun Qijing furious.
Sun Qijing hugged Zhao Lingmeng's legs and flattered her: "Mom, I think you are a good person now. You are a very reasonable person."
Zhao Ling dreamed that since she had traveled through time, she had been recuperating and had never properly played with these two little guys. Now that she was almost well and could move around properly, she decided to play with them! "Be good, both of you. How about I play a puzzle with you two?"
"Really?" Zhao Lingmeng's words made the two brothers Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming very happy. Although they usually looked more sensible than the other, they were still at that age, and there was no child who didn't like playing with their mother.
So after Zhao Lingmeng took the two brothers to see Sun Qiyang, she took them straight to the toy room next door.
The mother and her two children sat on the furry carpet inside. They chose a puzzle with a more complex pattern but a few words.
Zhao Lingmeng taught them to spell and learn words. Although they were still young, Zhao Lingmeng thought it was just a way to introduce them to Chinese characters and didn't expect them to know too much. In Zhao Lingmeng's previous life, even children as young as three had to go to kindergarten.
Perhaps because Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming were very close in age, only one year apart, and Sun Qiming always felt a sense of urgency that his older brother was going to snatch his mother from him, he was willing to compete with Sun Qijing in many things, and the effect was quite good.
Zhao Lingmeng noticed this problem after playing with them for a while, but she didn't intend to correct it. Since their family had no title or inheritance, it was perfectly fine for the children to excel. Ultimately, they would have to go out and conquer the world on their own. If they could foster healthy competition, perhaps the two brothers would go even further in the future.
By the time Zhao Lingmeng had helped the two brothers finish the puzzle and told them a few interesting stories, it was already noon. Zhao Lingmeng wasn't afraid of breaking her character image when she did this. One reason was that the original owner's personality before she got married was similar to her current personality, and she wasn't someone who would suffer any loss.
Secondly, Sun Qiming was still young, so his memory wasn't that complete. Furthermore, the original owner had occasionally told Sun Qiming stories when he had time, so no one would suspect anything.
"Okay, you two should quickly finish the puzzle, we're going to have lunch. You two must be very hungry." After saying this, Zhao Lingmeng touched their stomachs to see if they were hungry.
"Mom, can we not take this down?" Sun Qijing looked up at Zhao Lingmeng expectantly.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Sun Qijing's expectant eyes, thought about it, and roughly knew why, but she still wanted to encourage Sun Qijing to speak out: "Then Jing'er, tell me why you don't want to demolish it!"
Sun Qijing was silent for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to say: "Because this is the first time my mother, my brother and I have put it together, so I don't want to tear it apart."
Sun Qiming originally didn't care, but when he heard his eldest brother say that, he looked up at Zhao Lingmeng and said, "Mom, I won't tear it down."
Zhao Lingmeng hugged the two little cuties into her arms, "Since my two little babies like it, we won't tear it apart."
