Chapter 172 Reunion
Sun Jiaxing thought about it and asked, "Your mother is still looking forward to your return, what can you give her in return?"
Niuniu said confidently, "I can make her happy!"
Sun Jiaxing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Whether it's his brothers or his mother, it seems that no matter how much he gives, they won't make him happy.
Li is different from Sun Jiaxing. When she heard that her mother-in-law would not go to the capital, she was as happy as if she had a double happiness.
Now she saw that her husband was almost convinced by Niuniu. Now she has a son and a daughter, her husband is an official, and her mother-in-law stays in her hometown. For her, this is almost the most comfortable life in the first half of her life!
"Our good boy is still transparent and understands more than us adults!" Li praised with a smile.
Niu Niu's face was full of pride, and she said, "I will teach my brother Changshou from now on!"
Li said quickly, "Changshou is so lucky to have such a great sister."
Niu Niu was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said, "I just know more about the principles. In fact, my knowledge is just like that. There are many things I don't understand."
Sun Jiaxing immediately said, "Our good boy is also modest. He is really sensible."
Anyway, what Niu Niu does is good in their eyes.
But Niu Niu didn't smile with them, and her little face suddenly drooped.
"What's wrong? Why is the good boy suddenly unhappy?" Li and Sun Jiaxing were very worried.
"I... I don't think I did my homework..." Niu Niu cried.
These days, she was either taken out by Sun Jiaxing to play, or stayed at home with Li and Changshou. A room full of maids and old women coaxed her to be happy. She only needed to eat, drink and have fun, and had long forgotten about studying.
When Sun Jiaxing heard this, he slapped his forehead and said, "Your father seemed to have mentioned homework in the letter he wrote to me. Blame me, I didn't take it seriously."
Niuniu didn't dare to play anymore. Sun Jiaxing picked her up and sent her to the study, saying, "It seems that your father will arrive in the next two days. Let's catch up on our homework."
Sun Jiaxing flipped through Niuniu's homework and watched the little girl sitting behind the big desk with a bitter face, writing big words one after another.
She was obviously rushing to finish her homework, but she didn't mean to be perfunctory at all.
Sun Jiaxing lowered his voice: "My dear, how about I help you write a few? I will imitate your handwriting, and your father shouldn't be able to see it."
Niuniu was moved for a moment, but she thought of Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang's expectations of her, and shook her head slowly.
"I'm not studying to cope with my parents' inspections, but they hope that I can really find a way out in books. I've already made a mistake by neglecting my studies because of my love for fun. If I ask Uncle Sun to help me with my homework, it will be a mistake on top of a mistake." Niu Niu said seriously.
Sun Jiaxing felt a little ashamed when he heard this. He just wanted to help Niu Niu finish writing the big characters before taking the child out to watch the acrobatics.
After Niu Niu finished writing the big characters seriously, she took out the book again.
Sun Jiaxing accompanied her so that Niu Niu could ask directly if she didn't understand anything.
After studying so hard for two days, Niu Niu spent almost all her daytime studying. Even so, she couldn't make up for the homework she missed.
The Gu family had already arrived in Nanlin County.
Even though Gu Mingda rushed, it still took seven or eight days to sort out the affairs of Guang'an County.
There were many houses in the Sun family's house, so they directly cleaned up a yard to entertain the Gu family.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa and Grandma, Aunt Liu, Big Brother and Third Brother, Niuniu misses you so much!" When Niuniu saw them, she immediately flew over like a little swallow.
Old Mrs. Gu hugged the little girl and called her "my sweetheart".
"You've lost weight..." As soon as Old Mrs. Gu said this, her eyes immediately condensed, she weighed the little girl and said, "You haven't lost weight, it seems that you've gained some weight, which shows that you're living well in the Sun family."
Niuniu smiled and said, "My godfather and godmother are so good to me! My brother Changshou also likes me the most! My godfather took me to eat the specialties of Nanlin, and took me to the temple fair..."
Niuniu kept talking about the good things of the Sun family couple, and the Gu family was a little jealous.
"You had so much fun in the Sun family, do you miss us?" Old Mrs. Gu asked deliberately.
Niu Niu shook her head and said, "I had a lot of fun at the Sun family, but I missed you guys too. I missed the gingerbread made by grandma. The ones made by the Sun family kitchen always seemed to be a little bit lacking. I missed the little grasshoppers made by grandpa for me. I missed the ballads that my mother sang to me to sleep..."
Listening to Niu Niu counting the good things about her family one by one, she made the Gu family members smile.
They hadn't met for a long time, and no one was disappointed to check homework, but Niu Niu jumped out of the arms of old lady Gu and walked to Gu Mingda.
"Dad, I have been playing around these days and haven't finished my homework. Please punish me." Niu Niu took the initiative to admit her mistake.
Gu Mingda looked at the little girl's obedient appearance, and his heart melted. How could he bear to punish her?
Grandma Gu immediately took her granddaughter into her arms and said, "My dear, she has so much to learn from her studies. It's rare for her to have a few days off. She's also working hard to make up for it. Don't scare her with a sullen face!"
Gu Mingda felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Mom, where did you see me scare her? I haven't said anything yet, but you're protecting her. You never stopped me from dealing with the older ones before."
Grandma Gu glanced at Gu Yan and Gu Zhao, then at the snowball-like Niuniu, and immediately said, "Niuniu is still young, this is different."
Niuniu took the initiative to say, "Grandma, you should be punished for being lazy in your homework. Daddy is doing this for my own good."
When Mrs. Gu saw that she was so good, she was even more reluctant to let her be punished. She only said to Gu Mingda: "Second brother, your skin is delicate and will leave marks if you touch it. If you want to hit someone, just hit me." ”
Not only was Mrs. Gu ignorant, but Father Gu also said vaguely: "Grandpa... got beaten for my dear..."
Before Gu Mingda could take action, he encountered his own parents who wanted to kill each other. He immediately couldn't laugh or cry and said, "In your eyes, am I such an unreasonable person?"
Mrs. Gu curled her lips: "It's hard to say."
Gu Mingda:......
Before Gu Mingda punished Niu Niu, he felt as if he had become the sinner of the family. He did not make up his mind to punish the child corporally. Instead, he said: "When you get to the capital, for three consecutive months, you will have to write five more words every day." Zhang Dazi, do you know?”
Mrs. Gu still wanted to bargain, but Niuniu had already said crisply: "Okay, daddy is so good to me!"
Seeing that the little girl accepted the punishment happily, Gu Mingda swallowed his explanation.
In the old lady's yard in the backyard, Sun Jiaxing is still reminding his mother.
"I accept that Niu Niu is my daughter. It's a done deal and cannot be changed. Brother Gu is also a civil servant now. With his talent and learning, he will be named on the gold medal list sooner or later. Even if it is for the sake of the second and third brothers and the Sun family, don't give it to me tomorrow. Do anything out of line.”
Sun Jiaxing was afraid that his mother's accusation against Niu Niu would happen again.
Old Mrs. Sun narrowed her eyes and said, "Since it's all for the Sun family, don't forget to say hello to the county magistrate."
The greeting Mrs. Sun said was naturally to seek benefits for her other two sons. These two people were causing trouble in Japan. If they didn't say hello to the county government in advance, they might be imprisoned one day.
