Gu Xi looked at the two of them with amusement, and thought it was time to give them some advice like an adult: "Jinwa, have you finished your homework? Hurry and get it."
When Jin Wa heard about homework, he immediately felt like an eggplant hit by frost, which was more uncomfortable than being isolated: "Why do people need to study? Why do they need to do homework?"
Tian Congbao opened the book he was reading: "With a high education and a high salary, you can buy more of the food you like, and you can also marry Xinghua as your daughter-in-law."
Jinwa pondered for a while, then turned and left, as if he had made some kind of decision.
Tian Congbao opened his mouth and closed it again, looking at Gu Xi: "Didn't you say that you usually encourage people like this? How did you scare people away?"
Gu Xi shrugged and spread her hands: "Maybe he's not a love-brained person, who knows."
As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, Jin Wa hurried into the room holding his books and homework: "Hurry, teach me how to do my homework, I will make money to marry Xinghua."
Tian Congbao burst out laughing: "I overestimated you. I thought you couldn't even look down on apricot blossoms."
Jinwa immediately retorted: "How could that be? Xinghua is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Don't compete with me for her."
Tian Congbao smiled and shook his head: "I won't snatch it from you, you should take advantage of it. Develop good study habits and personal hygiene habits."
Jinwa unfolded his homework book, and Gu Xi studied hard with her head leaning against Jinwa. Seeing this scene, Gu Xi found it quite interesting. Because of the changes in Congbao's family, although Congbao looked no different on the surface, he was actually used to being alone in his heart. He was not as heartless as before and thought that everyone was a good person, nor did he love to run around like before.
Perhaps it was an instinctive self-protection. There were a lot of rumors in the village, not only in Jinwa's family, but many people were talking behind his back. He could not stop so many people from talking, so he could only reconcile with himself. This process of self-reconciliation forced a child to grow up quickly.
If you don't want to hear bad gossip about your mother, the best way is to stay at home. Fortunately, Wang Xu and Gu Xi have a fulfilling life together and are not lonely at all. They are also very open-minded and will not make people feel psychologically uncomfortable. They get along with each other the same as before.
Gu Xi had summarized it before: "They didn't treat me as an orphan, nor did they treat me as a child..."
Gu Xi walked into the room and saw Wang Xu reading a book: "Cong Bao is very nice to Jin Wa. It's the kind of thing where you don't know each other without fighting. Was it the same with you, Yin Jie and Wan Hexing before?"
Wang Xu held the person on his lap and sat down, reading a book with Gu Xi in his arms: "I beat them unilaterally, and they had no power to fight back. I beat them until they were subdued. I saw that these two were honest by nature. They didn't tell their parents when they got beaten by me. Other bad kids would go home and complain after being beaten.
After I complained, the parents came to my house and Tian Guodong beat me up. Never ask why you fight. Later I realized that it was not because they were honest, but because they had no parents. After that, I stopped beating them because I didn’t feel any sense of accomplishment. "
Gu Xi. . . .
"Your logic is perfect."
Wang Xu was just talking nonsense, and seeing Gu Xi's expression of having something stuck in her throat was hilarious.
Jinwa came to report every day after that. It took the Jin family many days to discover him. The teacher also praised Jinwa for doing his homework well recently and his test scores had improved by more than 30 points. Although he still failed, he would pass soon if he continued to work hard.
Jinwa was greatly encouraged. It was the first time he was praised by the teacher and he grinned happily all afternoon.
Tian Congbao looked at his paper and felt so disgusted that he could not even pass such a simple question. He glanced at Jinwa several times and even suspected that he had an IQ problem.
It was also the first time that Jin Ming heard the teacher criticizing him from time to time, so he went home and rummaged through the drawers to find what he had.
Old Lady Jin saw him looking for something aimlessly and asked: "Son, what are you looking for?"
Jin Ming stood up, sweating all over, "Where are the paper money and other things for worshipping ancestors at home?"
Old Lady Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep your voice down. This is a crackdown to break feudal superstitions and you can't do these things. I've thrown them away to show my determination. What do you want these things for? Don't mess around with them."
Jin Ming slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right. I brought a pot of wine to my father. Teacher Jinwa came to see me today. I thought I was scolded again, but he praised our Jinwa, saying that he had made progress in his studies and completed his homework seriously. He got more than 30 points on the test. I am so happy.
We are all illiterate and we have no way of urging him to study in the literacy classes, but he still makes progress on his own initiative. "
Old Lady Jin recalled that Jin Wa had been rushing out every afternoon with his books and homework: "Jin Wa goes to Wang Xu's house every day. Was it that educated youth Gu who taught him to do so?"
Jin Ming raised his eyebrows: "Can she be so kind? Both of them are not easy to deal with. Will Wang Xu agree?"
Old Lady Jin also thought it was unlikely: "No matter what the situation is, let's go and see what Jinwa does at Wang Xu's house every day."
The two hurried to the door of Wang Xu's house. He was peeking around furtively, and was spotted by Gu Xi: "What are you two doing, peeking around at my door? Are you planning to do something bad?"
The two were sneaking around to begin with, and were so frightened by Gu Xi's sudden questioning that they almost fell to the ground, holding their chests and gasping for breath: "You're scaring me, so scary, Gu Zhiqing, are you walking without making any noise? You suddenly made a sound."
Gu Xi looked at the two of them with a half-smile: "This is the door of my house. I didn't even tell you that you were sneaking around, but you guys are the first to complain!"
Jin Ming organized his words, not daring to offend Gu Xi: "Hey, Gu Zhiqing, our Jin Wa comes to your house every afternoon. I'm just curious and want to see if I'm at your house and what I do every day."
Gu Xi pushed open the gate and saw two kids sitting at the table doing their homework, with malted milk and some snacks at their sides.
When they saw the gate open, Jinwa smiled and said hello, "Gu Zhiqing, you're back~ Hey? Dad, grandma, why are you here?"
Jin Ming never expected that Jin Wa was really here to study: "You come here every day, I'm afraid you'll play all day and delay others' studies, so I came to see you, I didn't expect you would study."
Jinwa pouted, "I can only do my homework if Congbao teaches me. No one at home knows how to do this. I can only stare at you at home. Gu Zhiqing and Brother Xu gave me snacks. Brother Xu even shot a rabbit the day before yesterday and roasted its legs for me. It smelled so good. I don't even want to go home. I envy Congbao even more."
Jin Ming's face got a little hot after being told this: "Well, it's not nice for you to eat so much of their food. Next time you go to town, buy some food and give it back to them."
Gu Xi waved her hand: "No need, you don't work all day, you just live off your parents and your wife at home, you don't need to buy anything, we just happen to have it at home. Your son has been working hard to make progress, you as a father should be a good role model, love is not just words, but actions.
The development of a child's character depends mainly on the father. You have to set a good example and not just idle away the day. This is wrong. "
