A Li cried greedily because she couldn't eat the barbecue. Gu Xiaoyu felt distressed and wanted to hug her to comfort her, but Gu Huanxi refused, "Don't spoil her too much. Eat the barbecue in a down-to-earth manner."

Then, Gu Huanxi wiped her daughter's tears with a handkerchief. Well, the handkerchief she used was made of pure cotton and was very absorbent. After wiping her tears, she calmly put it in her sleeve, changed another one, and continued wiping.

These are precious nutrients for growing vegetables and flowers.

Ah Li couldn't cry anymore and was sobbing. She looked so pitiful. Her eyes were as red as if they had been washed with water, and she looked at her mother accusingly.

Gu Huanxi remained unmoved and calmly ate the barbecue.

Ah Li, "..."

Is she still kissing her daughter?

"mother……"

"Eat well."

Gu Xiaoyu begged for mercy, but returned in vain.

Others dared not say a word.

After eating, Gu Huanxi carried her daughter back to the bedroom. She didn't feed her any meat, so that she wouldn't be deprived of milk.

Ah Li drank until he burped in a spineless manner, then grabbed his mother's lapel, held her in his arms and rocked her for a few times, and fell asleep without finishing a lullaby.

When she woke up, she had long forgotten what happened before. With a smile, she urged her brother to push her out in a cart to play. Gu Huanxi dressed them both warmly and accompanied them.

They had been to the tofu shop and vegetable patch in the morning, and they could go to the lake in the afternoon. But when Gu Huanxi thought that he might run into Jiang Yong again, he changed his mind and took the two children for a walk around the village.

The village is thriving.

Every household has no shortage of livelihood or food. Some are busy making money, others are busy cutting firewood, and now there is another way to burn charcoal.

In an open space at the south end of the village, Village Chief Hu is directing the people to build a school in full swing. After the school is repaired, they will be free to build a temple and be busy with work. After all, there will be no idle time this winter. With.

It’s good not to be idle.

Village Chief Hu felt the passion and motivation he had not seen for a long time. Even if he stood outside for most of the day and his face hurt from the wind, his energy was not inferior to that of the young people.

Gu Huanxi glanced at it from a distance. After walking over, he said to Gu Xiaoyu, "At this rate, it won't be long before you can go to school here."

Gu Xiaoyu said seriously, "I will study hard."

Gu Huanxi couldn't help but smile when she heard his assurance. She had never doubted this, but seeing that he didn't have much expectation on his face, she turned to ask, "You really don't want Mr. Jiang to teach you?"

Gu Xiaoyu nodded, his expression very calm, but he was also curious, "Mom, if I wanted to, how would you and dad persuade Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Yong could not be moved by fame, wealth, power, coercion or inducement. Otherwise, he would not have resigned to teach the prince before.

Gu Huanxi did not answer directly, "Guess."

Gu Xiaoyu frowned in thought.

Gu Huanxi reminded, "What is Mr. Jiang's identity? Scholars, most of them are arrogant at heart. They will not look down on worldly things. They will not look down upon high-ranking officials and rich salaries. Of course, our family cannot give it to them. Other threats The means are more resistant to him, so..."

Gu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and he quickly took over the words, "We can only start with what he cares about."

"Well, what does he care about?"

Gu Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Books!"

Gu Huanxi nodded, "Yes, it's hard for a scholar with a lot of knowledge to refuse a good book, especially if it's a book he hasn't read yet."

In the RV, there were a lot of good books, all of which Jiang Yong had never read. The only thing that gave her a headache was that she couldn't take out those books directly, so she had to copy them, which was very labor-intensive.

"But Mr. Jiang's collection of books is huge. It would be too difficult to find a book that he has not read and it must be a good book worth reading."

Such a book must be very expensive. How can my family afford it?

Gu Huanxi said pointedly, "Who said it was too difficult? Those two books I gave you before, don't they have any reading value? Besides, Mr. Jiang has definitely not read them."

Even though Gu Xiaoyu didn't want to use these two books to impress Jiang Yong, he couldn't help but get a little excited after hearing this. Those two books not only have reading value, but also have the significance of spreading. They are no better than the Three Character Classic and The Thousand Character Essay. It is inferior to similar enlightenment books and can even be used as a higher-level enlightenment book.

A great Confucian like Mr. Jiang, who never seeks fame or fortune in his life and focuses on teaching and educating people, is the least resistant to such books and must be like a treasure.

"Mom, would you like to print those two books into volumes and disseminate them so that more children can read them?"

Gu Huanxi was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask?"

Gu Xiaoyu said anxiously, "I think a good book should not be hidden in someone's hands, let alone idle on any bookshelf. It should be placed on every reader's desk. Only in this way can the meaning of the book's existence be conveyed. , play to the maximum.”

Gu Huanxi's heart was shaken, "Then what do you think the meaning of reading is?"

Gu Xiaoyu said, "Be wise, sensible, and understanding. This is what the teacher who taught me before said."

Gu Huanxi knelt down and pinched his face happily, "Good boy, what you said is great. You know the meaning of reading, and you have a big heart. You can think that all readers can benefit from good books. Mom is so happy." I'm proud of you."

This is the chosen one, right?

Gu Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed by her praise, "Mom, aren't you angry?"

"Why is mom angry?"

"Those two books are yours. They are precious books. They are hidden by the big family and are not circulated to the outside world. They are afraid that others will learn about their own secrets. You..."

When Gu Huanxi heard this, she couldn't help but joke, "My son has a broad mind, and I don't dare to be too narrow-minded when I am a mother. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to be your mother."

"mother……"

Gu Huanxi saw that his face was turning red, so she stopped teasing him, "Mom is willing just like you. Good books should be seen by more people."

"So when are you going to print them into a book?"

"Don't worry, it's not appropriate for us to do this. Bookstores may not necessarily buy it. Moreover, no matter how good a book is, it needs to be recommended by reputable people. With the approval of these people, it will be easier to spread the word."

"If Mr. Jiang does it, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"When your father comes back, let him talk."

Originally, she wanted to use this to give her child a chance. Now, with such a plan, it is hard to fight for anything. However, Gu Huanxi is not disappointed. On the contrary, she is very excited that Gu Xiaoyu can have such a vision. , and even felt that it would not be an unacceptable thing to support the eldest prince if there was an opportunity in the future.

Compared with the leisurely life of the three of them, Xu Huaiyi was not so happy. In the afternoon, at the martial arts field, the people from their third class, to be precise, the dozen or so people who had just arrived, were blocked again. .

They are still children of powerful people, but they have changed a lot. They have a higher status than Xiang Chao's group, and they can't afford to offend them. Moreover, their methods of humiliating people have also been upgraded.
