17 Chapter 17
Du Rou's thoughts, Gu Changlin can also understand to a certain extent, he knows that if Du Rou wants to let the child study, there is a chance that he will definitely come to him.
In order to avoid being borrowed by Du Rou, he has been careful to avoid showing up these days.
When he was about to return to the city, he also called Gu Yi on the side, he beckoned, and lowered his voice, "Little sheep, go and see if there is anyone outside from Aunt Du's side in front." β
Gu Yi: ?
Gu Changlin explained: "The village has said that Du Rou wants to send her son to study, and she has no money, so she can't ask for your father's head, let's all hide." β
Although he can excuse himself for not having it, it doesn't seem to work to give it at all, and it seems that his concern all along is too vain.
And Gu Changlin is a dime a dime, obviously he doesn't want to pay a penny.
So the best way is to avoid Du Rou directly.
If he remembers correctly, there is still a man in the city who loved Du Rou very much back then, that person is much richer than him, and when Du Rou finds it over there, his crisis can be resolved.
Gu Yi was speechless for a while, but he had a sense of starry peak, this kind of feeling that father and son were doing bad things together.
So he still accommodated Gu Changlin in the end, pretended to wander around outside, and when he came back, he said: "There is no one in the Du family, dad, let's go." β
"Okay." Gu Changlin touched his son's head with a smile on his face, and advised: "Listen to your mother obediently at home, next time you come back, will your father buy you meat buns." β
The affectionate gesture on his head made Gu Yi's eyes shine, and he nodded obediently, "Okay, Dad has to talk." β
After saying goodbye to the father and son, Gu Changlin walked towards the city with his bookcase on his back.
But he thought about hiding from Du Rou's residence, but he didn't expect that Du Rou would find a secluded place and wait on the way in order to prevent the villagers from discovering their contact.
Seeing that the other party had already come over, Gu Changlin had no choice but to greet him.
Not long after, an exclamation sounded on the empty road, and Gu Changlin's shocked throat was about to split, "What? Do you want Little Sheep to teach Nian Nian An to read and write? β
Nian Nian An is the name of the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses born by Du Rou.
Gu Changlin looked at Du Rou and couldn't believe his ears, he actually heard Du Rou want Gu Yi to teach those two children to read and write.
You must know that whether it is rumors from the outside world or in facts, the relationship between him and Du Rou is a little ambiguous. It's just that after all, one comes first, first comes, Gu Changlin and Du Rou are fiancΓ©es, and Zhu Qiaoniang got married after falling into the water and was rescued by Gu Changlin, so although Zhu Qiaoniang was uncomfortable, she was okay in the end.
It wasn't until later, probably knowing Gu Changlin's nature and having a child, Zhu Qiaoniang didn't care about Gu Changlin and Du Rou's affairs.
But even if she doesn't care, it's impossible for people not to be disgusted with this kind of thing that dangles under people's noses.
Gu Changlin wanted to open Du Rou's brain for a while to see what was inside.
Du Rou looked at Gu Changlin's expression of disbelief, and felt extremely embarrassed, "Changlin, if it wasn't for the last resort, I wouldn't want to do this, but Niannian and An An are already six years old, and I am now kicked out of the house, and I don't have any money on me, so I can't let them know nothing all the time, then when I return to the Hou Mansion, it will make people look down on them." β
She herself wanted Gu Changlin to teach, but Gu Changlin came back for three days a month, and when she came back, she had to teach Gu Yi a few of them, in this way, there would not be much time allocated to her child at all, and if this continued, how much could the child learn?
There is also the fact that some time ago, the Gu family found Gu Changlin's private school, which was spread all over the village, and everyone also heard that the Gu family only gave Gu Changlin a year, and the Gu family itself did not like Gu Changlin's deep-rooted love for her after marriage, if at this critical time, she also let Gu Changlin be distracted to teach her children.
Then I'm afraid that the Gu family will not let Gu Changlin continue to read.
Gu Changlin was good to her, but Du Rou didn't feel that if she ruined Gu Changlin's future, the other party could still be single-minded about herself, she didn't want to gamble on this.
And as his admirer, Gu Changlin can only help her more in the future if he reads.
So after thinking about it for a long time, Du Rou finally decided to let Gu Yi teach her two children, I heard that Gu Yi can memorize hundreds of words in three days, and the amount of teaching Mao Dan for a month is more than enough, Du Rou's children are not people with good memory, in comparison, of course, it makes Gu Yijiao more durable.
"That's also by the way, if the lamb wants to, we can also pay the tuition."
Gu Changlin: ......
Is it a question of money or not?
He looked at Du Rou speechlessly, and swallowed back the words he wanted to blurt out, "Actually, it's useless for you to talk to me about this, I don't have much status at home recently, my father wants to let Xiao Yang go to a private school for me to study, and I don't dare to do anything to make them unhappy, and they won't agree to our relationship." β
Then he gave Du Rou some other ideas, but he also knew that Du Rou would not agree.
Gu Changlin doesn't care, his ability is here anyway, and it's normal that he can't solve things.
Du Rou was not brainless, knowing that Gu Changlin really had no choice, she suppressed the irritability in her heart, "Forget it first, Changlin, you go to the private school, and I'll go back and think of a way by myself." β
Sure enough, her original choice was not wrong, a person like Gu Changlin who couldn't give anything he wanted, no matter how sincere he was, it would not help.
Gu Changlin pursed his lips, his face full of worry and loss, "I still have some silver at the private school, and I'll bring it to you when I come back next month." β
"No need." Du Rou and Gu Changlin also grew up together, she knew that Gu Changlin's money was all earned by bowing down in front of others, she looked at Gu Changlin's melancholy eyes, and the sullenness in her heart could no longer be released, "Changlin, I know that you are good to me, but your life at home is not easy now, I will think of other ways, don't worry about me, just study hard by yourself." β
When she was married to Gu Changlin, didn't she also like each other, but now, because Gu Changlin has always been in love with her, she still retains a trace of inexplicable emotions towards Gu Changlin in her heart.
So when it was not an emergency, I didn't want to see Gu Changlin trample on his dignity for a little silver.
Sure enough, after hearing her concern, Gu Changlin's eyes instantly brightened, and Du Rou felt as if she had done something very good, and she only needed to pay such a trivial word of concern to Gu Changlin to be able to completely control this person's emotions in her own hands.
This feeling always makes Du Rou want to stop.
Gu Changlin looked at Du Rou, "Arou, I will study hard, in the last year, next year I will definitely be admitted to Tongsheng and continue to study, I figured it out, if I have always been like this, then no matter how much I want to help you in my heart, my ability is limited, but if I can be in a high position, then I don't have to be in such a dilemma as now." β
At that time, it will be completely solved if they give the silver directly, and now all their problems are because they have no money.
Gu Changlin pondered, Du Rou probably just felt that he didn't have any money, so he said that he was looking for him to enlighten, instead of borrowing money directly, after all, he had been showing a poor appearance over the years, and even if he had silver, most of it was spent on buying books, paper and pens, etc.
Coaxing people Gu Changlin said quite smoothly, he is really ready to work hard in this last year, and now it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone to express his attitude with Du Rou.
If he can really be in a high position, it is not impossible to help Du Rou at that time, but he feels that by that day, Du Rou's two sons will probably have returned to the Hou Mansion to recognize their relatives, and when the time comes, help each other and win-win.
After speaking, the two of them separated.
One went to a private school in the city, and the other went home.
Du Rou was very moved by Gu Changlin's deep affection, but after the touch, the problem of her son's enlightenment was still not solved, Du Rou felt a very headache, and she really couldn't think of any way for a while.
When she got home, the two children at the door saw her appear and greeted her, "Mother." β
"Hmm." Du Rou reluctantly smiled at the two children.
The two children followed her into the house, and Zhao An looked at his mother expectantly: "Mother, did Uncle Gu agree?" β
Du Rou went to Gu Changlin to tell him about the two children's study, and Zhao Nian and Zhao An knew about it.
Zhao Nian and Zhao An both follow their biological father's surname, of which Zhao An is the elder brother and Zhao Nian is the younger sister.
Although the two are from the Hou Mansion, they have not had a father since they were born, and they have always grown up in the village, and there is actually no difference between them and the children in the village, no, there is still a difference, that is, they are not treated well in the Du family, and the mother and son do not even have the ability to support themselves.
After all, the fields in the family, at the moment, are the men in the family, Du Rou, as a married daughter, has no qualifications to inherit the family's property, and the rest of the Du family also dislikes them for eating white food at home.
So Zhao An is sensible early, he knows that reading is a good thing that everyone envies, and it is best for his mother to send them to study.
The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable in his heart was that they didn't learn from Uncle Gu, but from Gu Yi.
But with such family conditions, he has nothing to find fault with.
Du Rou shook her head slowly, "I asked, your Uncle Gu can't be the master, there are so many people in the Gu family." β
Zhao An was immediately disappointed when he heard this, but Zhao Nian didn't feel anything, "Then let's slowly follow Uncle Gu to learn, don't those Gu family only learn for three days every monthly vacation." β
No one in the village can read and write, and Zhao Nian doesn't think it's a big deal, she has a noble status, and it is necessary to learn words, but she doesn't take the imperial examination, she just learns it before she grows up, so she is not in a hurry.
Zhao An bit his lower lip, he wanted to read.
That Gu Yi is half a year younger than them, isn't he studying, he doesn't want to be inferior to others.
He and his sister said it well, his father is the son of the Hou Mansion, but looking at their mother's posture, I am afraid that they will have to wait until they grow up before they can go back, but there is no place for their family in the Du family, and when they grow up, will the Hou Mansion be able to have it? It's not a big deal to dismiss them outright.
He opened his mouth and said: "Mother, for so many years, Uncle Gu has always been so good to us, you used to be an unmarried couple, you should be together, or you will marry Uncle Gu, I want Uncle Gu to be my father." β
