Chapter 155: Reluctant
There are four children in the Gu family studying at the Luo Family School. Gu Yan is studying with another teacher. Niu Niu, Gu Zhao and Gu Yun all learn to read with Mr. Zhang.
As for why Gu Mingda hid this matter, it is simple. Firstly, sending money to his husband is tainted with the smell of copper, and it is not easy to say it openly. Secondly, after all, he asked his husband to take extra care of his daughter. It's even worse to publicize this kind of thing widely.
However, Mr. Zhang seemed to be aware of this and kept the money as usual, but did not do anything at all.
Niu Niu has always been sensible. When she encounters someone she doesn't understand, she asks Gu Yan and Luo Zhang in school without taking the question home.
It was because of this mistake that Mr. Zhang calmly suffered for so long.
"How could Mr. Zhang do this? That is my family's hard-earned money..." Niu Niu felt very sorry for the money.
Part of the family's money comes from the braised meat shop, and part of it is earned by Gu Mingda himself.
Either way, it's not easy to earn.
Luo Zhang was also at a loss at this time. Mr. Zhang was invited by the Luo family. Although he was mainly here to educate Fang Yuan, he took other people's money and neglected to treat other people's daughters. This is unacceptable. Like a gentleman.
Speaking more carefully, the Luo family also has a reputation for being unclear about people.
Although Luo Zhang is willful, he has never been a person without responsibility. He took the initiative and said: "Niuniu, don't worry, our Luo family will definitely give your father an explanation for this matter."
Niuniu nodded, but when she left Luo's house, the smile on her face was very forced.
Mr. Luo didn't want to part with Niu Niu and said, "Niu Niu, during the time when you are not at home, Grandpa Luo and I find it boring to eat."
Niu Niu was not a child who would embarrass others in public. She buried Mr. Zhang's matter deep in her heart, cheered up, and said, "Grandpa Luo, my mother said that only by eating more can you grow up quickly."
The childish words made Mr. Luo burst into laughter and said, "Grandpa Luo, I am already old. When I grow up, I will become an old goblin."
Niu Niu said seriously: "Even if you don't grow up anymore, you still have to eat well. When your stomach is full, you will feel warm all over, as happy as drinking honey."
For Niuniu, eating is the top priority in life.
Mr. Luo touched her little head, sighed, and said, "I wish I could be satisfied as easily as you."
Niu Niu looked at him puzzled and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to have food to eat? Grandpa Luo, what else do you want?"
When Mr. Luo heard this, he was stunned.
He was once a poor scholar, who was worried about his next meal. Along the way, his days were getting better and better, but he had more and more thoughts and more and more worries. The older he got, the more he thought about everything. want.
"You can eat, drink, and sleep in a warm bed. These are the days of a fairy. There's no point in worrying about other things, Grandpa Luo." Niu Niu said innocently.
Mr. Luo asked back: "Niuniu, are you telling me, Mr. Luo, that I think nonsense every day?"
Niuniu nodded hesitantly and said: "Grandpa Luo, Daddy Sun said that the most important thing for people is to live in the present. You are so knowledgeable, you must understand this truth better than me."
Gu Mingda stopped him softly: "Niuniu."
It wasn't that Gu Mingda thought his daughter had said something wrong, but that some people didn't like to hear the truth, and he was afraid of making Mr. Luo displeased with Niu Niu.
Mr. Luo waved his hand, chuckled, and said: "Zhongde, Niu Niu is right. Eat and drink, and the gods will not change. I think too much."
He was worried about both his grandson and his son. He was afraid that his grandson would not succeed in his studies and that his son would not have a smooth career in the capital. Now that Luo Zhang was the only one in the family, he was also afraid that he would be kidnapped like last time and that his son would not be able to succeed in his studies. Even a single seedling cannot be saved.
Carrying a heavy burden every day, even if you become an official, you will not have any leisure time. It is no wonder that you can eat.
His health was also deteriorating. Others were afraid of his power and did not dare to say many things.
Now that Niuniu had said it so simply, in Mr. Luo's ears, he felt a sense of enlightenment.
"We Niuniu have thought it through. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Grandpa Luo, I thought wrong." Mr. Luo said with emotion on his face.
Niuniu nodded vigorously: "Yes, Grandpa Luo, my mother always said that the first thing she hopes is that I live a healthy and happy life, and the second thing is that she hopes that I can make a difference, so I have fun when I play and study hard when I study. She always praises me for being smart."
Seeing the proud look on the little girl's face, Mr. Luo couldn't help but laugh again.
"Your mother won't have any troubles now that you are such a pistachio. Unlike me, your brother Luo Zhang never smiles all day long and is always angry with me." Mr. Luo said.
Every time Zhang Yuniang was mentioned, the happiness on Niuniu's face overflowed. She couldn't help but straighten her body and said: "My mother also said that I am very good now and that I will not cause trouble at all. She is the best and most well-behaved daughter!”
Gu Mingda gently knocked on his daughter's forehead: "Have you forgotten what I taught you to be humble?"
Niu Niu smiled slyly at Gu Mingda and said, "Dad also said that you have to be honest. That's what mom said!"
When the father and daughter left the Luo family, Mr. Luo stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from laughter in the corner of his eyes, and said to Luo Zhang: "Niuniu is so well-behaved and sensible, why isn't she my granddaughter-in-law? I look forward to such a good child every day. Everybody can see it.”
When Luo Zhang heard this, his ears couldn't help but burn.
"Grandpa, I'm only a few years old, don't keep saying this!"
Seeing that his grandson was already angry, Grandpa Luo stopped teasing the child and said, "In the past two years since I returned to Guang'an County, the most interesting people I met were the Gu family. Unfortunately, they are about to go to Beijing, and life will be boring again."
Luo Zhang lowered his head when he heard this. He also knew why the old man returned to Guang'an County after retiring.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't like his stepmother, Grandpa Luo would not have left his son and traveled thousands of miles back to his hometown.
"Grandpa, how about we go back to Beijing?" Luo Zhang said softly.
Grandpa Luo looked surprised and said, "Don't you want to go back?"
"I will go back sooner or later anyway..."
Grandpa Luo looked at his precious grandson's eyes and looked around, as if he was a little guilty, and asked, "Are you going back to Beijing for the Gu family? Or for Niuniu?"
Luo Zhang immediately said, "I am going back to Beijing for myself... Of course, Gu Yan is also a very good classmate."
Grandpa Luo did not ask him about his hypocrisy and said, "Wait a little longer. There will be a Tongsheng exam next spring. Your teacher also said that you and A Yan can try to get in."
Seeing that Grandpa Luo took the initiative to mention his own teacher, Luo Zhang went straight to the point: "Grandpa, Mr. Zhang, who taught Fang Yuan, is not a gentleman."
