At this point, Sun Meiping paused and began to advise: "Second sister-in-law, no matter how high the price of food is, life is more important than anything else. As long as you are alive, everything is possible. The three children are counting on you."
It turned out that Sun Meiping was worried about Qian Chunhua and was reluctant to stock up grain because of the rising grain prices.
Qian Chunhua quickly assured: "Meiping, don't worry, I will definitely stock up enough food and have some money in hand, so the children will not starve."
Seeing Qian Chunhua's attitude, Sun Meiping was completely relieved. She was afraid that Qian Chunhua was like Zhao Yongqiang's family, ignorant, fearless and shameless.
Just as she finished speaking, Sun Meiping happily teased the three children, "What are you doing?"
Qingfeng answered happily. "Mom is telling us a story, the story of the ugly duckling."
Sun Meiping glanced at Qian Chunhua in surprise. It was true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance. The taciturn second sister-in-law could not tell stories.
"Second sister-in-law, go on with your story and I'll listen too."
Qian Chunhua smiled and continued what he had just said:
Fortunately, a farmer saw it, took it home and gave it to the hostess. The children wanted to play with it, but the ugly duckling thought they were going to hurt him, so he jumped into the milk pan in fear and splashed milk all over the room.
…
The ugly duckling felt very happy because everyone said he was a beautiful bird.
He flapped his wings, stretched his slender neck, and uttered a happy voice from his heart: "When I was an ugly duckling, I never dreamed that there would be so much happiness!"
After the story was told, not only the children, but also Sun Meiping listened with great interest.
After listening to the story, Qingsong fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Qian Chunhua with sparkling eyes, "Mom, are you trying to tell us that we should never give up on ourselves?"
Qian Chunhua nodded with relief, "Yes, in one's life, one will face countless setbacks and pains. These are inevitable. We can only face them with strength. Only by persevering to the end can we become beautiful swans."
After hearing his mother's words, Qingsong's expression became more determined. He was only a little boy, but it seemed like he had grown several years older in an instant.
Qingfeng and Xiaoling seemed to understand, "Mom, we will be strong too."
Qian Chunhua smiled and hugged Qingfeng and Xiaoling, "Hey, our family must be strong."
The happy family made Sun Meiping envious and surprised at the same time.
Just now she thought it was just a simple story, but she didn't expect that she was too shallow and didn't think as well as the three children to think about the meaning behind the story.
Second sister-in-law, you are really impressive.
Under her education, these three children's achievements were no less than those of the eldest son of the family. For the first time, Sun Meiping began to pay attention to Qian Chunhua.
Sun Meiping: "Second sister-in-law, I heard that you plan to send Qingsong to school?"
Qian Chunhua looked at Sun Meiping in confusion. He didn't tell anyone about it, so how would she know?
However, Qian Chunhua did not avoid this question. Everyone would know it sooner or later anyway.
Qian Chunhua nodded, "Yes, I have this plan."
Sun Meiping smiled and said, "When it comes to studying, everything else is inferior, only studying is superior."
Qian Chunhua smiled and shook her head. "I didn't think too much about it. It's not a bad thing to let the child learn a few more words and gain more knowledge. I can't be blind, right?"
Sun Meiping nodded, although she didn't agree with her second sister-in-law's words, and didn't say anything more. Who sends their children to school, not for the purpose of passing the imperial examination, not just to learn a few simple words.
After chatting for a while, Sun Meiping felt that the time was almost up.
Before leaving, Sun Meiping sincerely said to Qian Chunhua, "Second sister-in-law, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I will definitely help if I can."
Sun Meiping expressed kindness to herself, and Qian Chunhua felt warm in her heart again. The Zhao family still has people like her.
Aren’t Zhao’s mother and Sun Meiping both Tu people?
Qian Chunhua nodded in agreement immediately, adding Sun Meiping to his list of relatives.
