Gu Qi shook his head: "It's not that Lao Guo doesn't want to build it. He said that he originally planned to build it after his daughter-in-law finished her confinement, but Qin Tiantian said that her baby was a premature baby and must be taken care of more carefully."
Strange to say, Lao Guo has always been a man of his words. He likes to say "A man without integrity cannot stand", and he has always been trustworthy in his words.
I don't know what happened this time, the house was about to be built, but suddenly it couldn't be built, and they apologized and explained that it would be postponed for three days.
"Is there any connection between a premature baby and building a new house?" Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "Their whole family went to take care of the child, and they didn't ask them to bring the child to help build it?"
Gu Qi explained: "Qin Tiantian said that according to the custom in her hometown, it is not advisable to build large-scale buildings before a child is one year old, or even three years old. This is bad for the child's luck. Her child is a premature baby, so she should be more careful. No walls should be built or the house should be renovated before the age of three."
"Is there such a custom?" Chen Xingling thought about it carefully, then sneered: "I've heard of it in four months or half a year, but it's the first time I've heard of it in three months. If this is the case, if a couple has more children, the family won't build a house for more than ten days. If there is a delay, there will be some money! Ridiculous! Qin Tiantian is obviously making excuses!"
It was not the first day that she knew Qin Tiantian, and she had a deep understanding of this bad woman who could not stand other people and was full of schemes all day long.
Qin Tiantian has been pursuing wealth and glory since she was young, and the only thing she lacks is the word "making money".
Before she went south, she had been boasting that she would make a fortune in the south, become a wealthy wife, and live a life of luxury.
Later, she finally married Guo Shijing as she wished, but she was pregnant and could not do anything. She could only stay at home to take care of the baby. She could not go to work and could not make money. She must have been very depressed.
Chen Xingling was admitted to university, moved to a new house twice in succession, and became a contractor to make money. Each of these was enough to make Qin Tiantian jealous.
She has always hated other people, especially those she doesn't like.
Chen Xingling married her favorite brother, Qi, who was bullied by her for several years. Seeing Chen Xingling being bullied by her mother-in-law, not having enough food and clothes to eat and wear every day, and working like a cow and a horse, she was secretly proud and happy.
But since coming to Yucheng, everything has changed.
She had to stay at home to take care of her pregnancy, but Chen Xingling became glamorous and beautiful in just a short period of time. Not only was she able to get into university, but she was also able to start her own business and make money - how could she accept this!
She couldn't stand Chen Xinglingtu. Even if she couldn't stop her from going to college, she would stop her from making money!
How could a country woman from a small fishing village live better than her?
So she tried every means to stop Chen Xingling's business. Even if she could only hinder one business temporarily, it was worth being happy about.
Chen Xingling guessed: "Most likely he heard that I, a contractor, was going to make money from Lao Guo, and he was so angry that he simply used the child as an excuse to delay the project. In the end, it was delayed again and again and nothing happened."
Lao Guo had just become a grandfather, and the elders loved the younger generation the most. It would have been fine if no one mentioned it, but someone reminded him to be more careful, after all, it is better to believe in such things than not to believe in them, for fear of hurting the child.
Anyway, we still have the old house to live in, so there is no need to rush. The child’s health and fortune are the most important.
Gu Qi frowned slightly and asked, "Xing'er, did anything get delayed?"
"No." Chen Xingling didn't care at all and explained: "I have already made an appointment with Master Mo and other workers. Since we can't build it, I can only go back and explain to them. I will contact them again when I get other projects."
These days she has been worrying about not being able to cope with the embroidery factory. It doesn't matter if Lao Guo can't start work on schedule. She and Ma Dali can focus on the embroidery factory and run it quickly.
Gu Qi whispered, "Old Guo said... he was very sorry and asked me to explain it to you. He also said that he would come to apologize another day."
"No." Chen Xingling was not a stingy person, so he didn't take it personally. He said, "I have a lot of things to do, so missing one or two projects is nothing. Besides, it's not Lao Guo's fault. He doesn't need to come and apologize. Just tell him it's just a small matter, no need to bother."
Gu Qi was still a little worried: "Will you not explain?"
"No." Chen Xingling smiled and whispered, "Our family is not in a hurry to spend money. Even if I earn a little less, we can still live a good life. We can have meat for every meal and bamboo outside. There is no feeling of 'I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo'. Everything can be satisfied."
Gu Qi smiled dumbly and sat down next to her.
"You have a lot of homework? Take a break."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "Not much, the homework is still quite loose. I want to preview it in advance and do some questions first, so that when the teacher assigns homework, I can do it quickly. I still skip classes every now and then, but I can still keep up with the homework. The counselor didn't talk to me, so I pretended to be deaf and dumb and kept skipping."
Gu Qi couldn't help but feel sorry for her and asked, "Will you be too tired?"
"No." Chen Xingling explained, "It's not that I work too hard or like to make trouble, but the homework at Chongqing University is really easy. There are only a dozen classes a week this semester, most of which are only half a day, and there are even two classes a day. Time is so precious, how can we waste it. I just want to do more while I am young. I don't have to worry about food and drink. It would be great if I can make money and learn more. If I can't make money, I don't care. Anyway, being busy is better than doing nothing."
Gu Qi smiled slightly: "Don't waste your time, don't be idle, then your life will not be in vain."
Chen Xingling stretched lazily and snuggled into his arms.
"Your son's dream of taking the college entrance exam - do you support it or not? You haven't made your position clear. Your attitude is ambiguous and unclear, which makes me wonder whether I should express my opinion or not."
Gu Qi put his arm around her waist, chuckled and shook his head: "Neutral, neither supporting nor opposing for now."
Chen Xingling was half happy and half worried, whispering: "My son is so smart, he can set his own goals and plan his life at such a young age, I am very happy. But I am secretly worried that I might be forcing him to grow up too fast. I am also worried that he might be very smart when he is young, but not so good when he grows up. There was a case of "Zhongyong" in ancient times, and there may be one now. I am also afraid that he will be too ostentatious, because a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
She is a mother, and I believe that most mothers in the world have similar thoughts. They just hope that their children grow up safely and healthily, go to school regularly, and become outstanding people in the future.
Also, mothers are more compassionate and don’t want their children to suffer. They are more worried that their children might encounter accidents.
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, then changed his voice to gentle, "Mom and Dad are different, and their perspectives and methods are completely different. Don't worry, I have been in contact with Yin Mo for a while, and I have a good control over his education. I am not bragging, but the effect is very significant. He has no adverse reactions or discomfort, but is particularly excited and happy. We will not think of relying on our son to make money or use his intelligence to do the kind of show-off to win the hearts of the people, and we will not hurt Zhongyong's last wish."
He loves his wife and son as if they were his own life, and considers his son more comprehensively and thoughtfully.
Chen Xingling smiled bitterly: "If he really gets admitted this time... then everyone will know about it and it will cause a big uproar. I'm worried that it will be bad for his growth."
The child is still young, no matter how smart or capable he is, he is still a naive child. After all, age cannot deceive people, no matter how smart or intelligent he is, he is still a naive child.
If a child is too good and can go to college at a young age, he will definitely attract the attention of countless people. The child may indulge in the flattery and praise of others, which will not be of any benefit to his character formation.
In addition, the world of children is full of innocence, which is different from the "ulterior motives" and "deceit" of adults. It is not appropriate to let a young child go to a university classroom full of adults.
Gu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. If he really passes the exam, we'll think about it again. The journey is long, so he definitely can't go. If he doesn't like classes, I'll take him with me and teach him. When he's older and finds his own ideal, he can go to a suitable school to learn professional knowledge. Then, he'll be more confident and more purposeful in taking the exam."
"Okay." Chen Xingling nodded: "I have to give him a heads-up in advance - college classes are not as interesting as he thought, and what he learns may not necessarily be what he likes."
Gu Qi couldn't help but smile: "If not, why would his mother and Ma Dali skip classes every day to make money?"
"That's right!" Chen Xingling said happily.
