"What are you so happy about? I just heard Ruirui's chirping voice."
At this time, Meng Ying and Zhao Mingze came out with fruit plates.
"Come, eat some fruit!"
He placed the fruit plate in the middle of the coffee table and handed an apple to each of them.
"Mom, look, this is the gift Brother Gu gave me!" Zhao Tianrui ran to Meng Ying with three things in his arms to show them off to her.
The little face was full of excitement and joy.
Seeing the toy car with picture books in her son's arms, and looking at the book, hairpin and rubber band in her daughter's hands, Meng Ying felt very satisfied with Gu Mingjing.
This kid is thoughtful!
What they want is not just this little thing, but the thoughtfulness. The more thoughtful the preparation, the more he values Jianshu.
His smile grew even brighter, and he stroked his son's head and asked, "Your brother Gu gave you a gift, did you thank him?"
"Thank you! Ruirui is a sensible child and he said thank you." Zhao Tianrui tilted his head and asked for praise.
Meng Ying didn't let him down and praised him, "How good of a boy! Ruirui has to be a sensible child from now on, okay?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Tianrui nodded vigorously.
"Okay, go play. Don't run outside, okay?" Meng Ying patted the back of his head and sent him away.
"knew!"
Zhao Tianrui ran back to his room and put the picture books and toy cars into his treasure box.
Then he ran back to the living room with the marbles in his clothes pocket, and dragged Zhao Yueling to the room, "Sister, let's go play marbles!"
Knowing that her parents still had something to discuss and that it was not appropriate for her to stay here, Zhao Yueling obediently let him pull her away.
Looking at the two impetuous people, Meng Ying turned around and smiled, "These two kids, one has an impatient temper, the other is slow. One is noisy and chattering all day long, while the other is quiet. It's a headache to watch them every day. It would be great if they could complement each other."
"No, I think Ruirui and Lingling are both good kids, and they are very sensible." Gu Mingjing said this sincerely. Apart from anything else, there is absolutely no problem with the upbringing of the Zhao family's children.
In any case, among the children he had met, few could compare to him. Even the young Zhao Tianrui knew his limits better. He would act boldly when he should, and never act boldly when he shouldn't.
Compared to those "little ancestors" who throw tantrums regardless of the occasion, they are simply the most well-behaved, okay?
"Hahaha, he's a good kid, but he's been spoiled too much by his family. He's usually very sensible, but he has a bit of a stubborn temper. Sometimes, once he's determined on something, no matter what you say, he won't make sense. It's really a headache."
"You said it would be fine if it was just one child, but all four of our children are like this. I don't know if there's something wrong with the way we raise them." Meng Ying said, shaking her head with a helpless look on her face.
Here we come!
Hearing this, Gu Mingjing immediately perked up.
"Of course not. There's nothing wrong with the children you and Uncle Zhao have raised. A stubborn temper isn't a big deal. It just shows that they have their own ideas and a balance in their hearts. They won't waver easily. That's a good thing."
He knew that Meng Ying's words seemed like complaints, but they were actually meant for him. It seemed like she was talking about Brother Li's child, but the focus was actually on Jianshu.
Being stubborn means having a stubborn temper, being obstinate and unyielding.
For many men, when they marry a wife, they naturally hope that she is obedient and has a good temper. To put it bluntly, she is easy to manipulate. To put it even more bluntly, she wants to be beaten and scolded without any complaints.
But this did not include him. He wanted to marry a wife, someone to spend the rest of his life with, not a soft dough. He wanted her to have her own personality, not to be smoothed out to fit him.
"What you said makes sense." Meng Ying nodded in agreement.
Then she changed the subject, "Having a strong temper is a good thing, but in life, sometimes being too strong isn't a good thing. Otherwise, if you run into someone with a strong temper in the future, wouldn't it be like two rocks colliding head-on, with both sides suffering in the end? It makes me worry just thinking about it."
"In my opinion, stones and stones are the perfect match." Gu Mingjing disagreed.
"Think about it, if it were an egg, wouldn't the stone have to be so careful all day long, worrying about accidentally breaking the egg? How tiring would that be for the stone?"
"Even if you change the dough, it might get squashed one day. Do you think it's still the same dough?"
"Besides, who says that when stones meet each other, they have to clash head-on, resulting in both sides suffering losses?"
"Oh?" Meng Ying looked expectant, waiting for his answer.
Gu Mingjing said with a hint of meaning, "Since we live together, there are bound to be frictions. It's definitely impossible to have no bumps at all, but even if there are bumps, there's still a sense of force involved."
"A rock and an egg, or a rock and dough, are two very different kinds of people. It's hard to strike the right balance. But it's different with rocks and rocks. They're both rocks, and they understand each other very well. If you pay attention to the right amount of force, and eventually get used to each other, they can become the perfect match."
The words "stones", "eggs", "dough" and so on were metaphors, and everyone could understand what he meant.
He didn't say anything nice like he would unconditionally give in or tolerate, but the three people present were all satisfied with his answer without exception.
Even Zhao Mingze, who wanted to find fault, couldn't find any major problems.
He has been through it all and knows exactly what happens when two people live together.
A person's teeth and tongue will sometimes fight with each other. It is absolutely impossible to say that there will be no disputes after marriage.
And if he said unconditional retreat and tolerance, that would be unrealistic. If Gu Mingjing really said that, he would only think that this guy was slick and untrustworthy.
He and his family leader have gone through ups and downs for so many years, supporting each other and getting to where they are today. They occasionally quarrel over trivial matters and hold different opinions due to disagreements.
Is he the one who always backs down and admits his mistakes?
Life is a shared experience, not the responsibility of one person. When faced with a problem, the first thing to do shouldn't be to back down or admit your mistakes, but to seek common ground while reserving differences, then work through those differences and ultimately reach a consensus.
This is the long-term solution.
