Su Li smiled and said, “Brother asked you to study so that you can be sensible and distinguish right from wrong in the future. I don’t need you to be the top scorer, but you have to understand the most basic words and logic.”
“If you don’t study, you won’t even be able to read when you go out. If I give you a document, can you read all the words on it?”
Although studying was not the only way out, if one did not study, there would be very few ways out.
She could also tell that He Qingmu was not cut out for studying. Although this child was very smart, he was like a person who had yet to discover his potential and want to learn. No matter how much she taught him, he could not understand it completely.
Hence, she did not have high expectations. She only wanted him to learn how to distinguish good from evil and be sensible.
“I know!” He Qingmu lowered his head.
When He Qingyao heard He Qingmu’s complaint, he pouted and walked over.
Complain?
Were they the only ones who knew how to complain?
“Mother, little brother is not obedient at all. He didn’t memorize yesterday’s lesson. I kept forcing him to memorize it and he only managed to recite it before we went to bed.’
“And the day before yesterday, he said that he was going to see the lamb. In fact, he was going to Grandma Liu’s house to play with her granddaughter. He said that the young lady was the most beautiful. He was going to marry her as his wife in the future…
He Qingyao immediately complained about He Qingmu.
He Qingmu’s face turned red. “Mother, don’t listen to brother’s nonsense. I only said that she’s cute. I didn’t say that I’ll marry her…”
The corners of Su Li’s mouth twitched when she heard their conversation. He already knew that he was going to marry a wife at such a young age?
He Qingmu racked his brains and tried to think of a dark history of He Qingyao so that he could expose his shortcomings.
After thinking for a long time, he could not think of any dirt. He immediately felt a little defeated.
He Qingyao made a face at him.
Su Li chuckled when she saw their interaction. She reached out to pat their heads and asked, “Do you like to stay at Grandma’s house?”
He Qingyao thought about it and said, “Yes, but we prefer to live in our own house.”
No matter how good their grandmother’s house was, it was not their home. They did not have a sense of belonging when they lived here. Although their house was very dilapidated, they were very happy to live there.
He Qingmu nodded in agreement. “Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle are all very good to us, but I still feel like I can sleep more soundly at home.”
Su Li didn’t know what to say for a moment. It seemed like these two children were homesick.
Su Li asked, “Do you guys want to go back and see your father?”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu’s eyes lit up when they heard this. They quickly nodded and said, “Yes, Mother. Are we going home?”
Although they ate well and lived better at Grandma’s house than at home, they still missed their father very much. They did not know if their father would eat well alone at home and if he would playfully kick the blanket off when he slept at night. In any case, they were all worried.
He Qingmu smiled in embarrassment. “Mother, let me tell you. When I dream at night, I’ll dream of Father carrying me to hunt.”
He Qingyao quickly said, “I dreamed about it too. I dreamed that Father placed me on his shoulder…”
Seeing them like this, Su Li sighed in her heart. Although these two children were smiling every day, they were actually more sensitive than anyone else.
Even if their small dilapidated house was in tatters, they were willing to go back.
Su Li looked at them and said gently, “Since you all miss home, let’s bring
Riceball home!”
“Yay!” He Qingyao and He Qingmu jumped up excitedly.
Su Li held their hands and walked into the courtyard.
When He Qingyao saw this, he could not help but be puzzled. Shouldn’t they pack their clothes when they got home?
From the looks of it, his mother did not seem to have any intention of packing her clothes!
He Qingyao asked the question in his heart, “Mother, don’t we have to pack our clothes when we go home?”
He Qingmu also looked at Su Li. That’s right. Shouldn’t the first step home be to pack up?
Su Li looked at them and explained patiently, “We still have clothes to wear at home, so we’ll leave these clothes at Grandma’s house. Moreover, it’s Uncle’s birthday in a few days. When the time comes, we’ll have to come back to celebrate his birthday.”
He Qingyao nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes. When the time comes, we’ll celebrate Uncle’s birthday together. We’ll bring Father along. It’s too pitiful for him to be alone at home.”
He Qingmu nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Father is too pitiful at home alone. Bring him along next time.”
Su Li: “…” These two little fellows really never forgot their father.
Seeing that Su Li did not speak, He Qingyao and He Qingmu could not help but look up at her and ask, “Mother, can we?”
Su Li couldn’t bear to reject them when she saw their expectant gazes. “Alright, we’ll bring your father next time.”
Even if she was willing to bring him along, he might not come.
If didn’t matter wearing he came, it was just a matter of having another pair of chopsticks.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu smiled when they heard her words.
Riceball didn’t understand what was going on. What happened? Why were his two brothers smiling so happily?
Su Li led the two little fellows to the central room.
Su Li said to Jiao Yuying, “Mother, I’ll bring the children back today.”
Jiao Yuying nodded and said, “Alright. Go back and settle this matter. If they bully you again, come back and tell us. We’ve always been your backing.”
“Mother, don’t worry. We’ll only be able to earn big money in the future if we spend money to get rid of those people.”
Jiao Yuying smiled at her words. “I don’t want to earn big money. I just want the two of you to be fine.”
Her greatest wish in this life was not to be rich, but to ensure that Su Li and Su Ze were safe and healthy.
In the past, Su Li had caught a cold when she was young. At that time, it was so serious that there was no medicine that could cure her. All the doctors said that there was no hope. At that time, she felt that the sky was falling.
Su Li was not her first child. Before Su Li, she had given birth to two children. For some reason, the first child died in the womb. The second child was successfully born, but it died during the confinement period.
This was because she had two children who had died prematurely. Ever since she was pregnant with Su Li, she had been very careful, afraid that something would happen to the child in her stomach.
After successfully giving birth, she had been taking care of her carefully, afraid that she would get injured.
After more than ten years, Su Li also started her own small family.
For a moment, Jiao Yuying sank into her own thoughts.
Seeing that Jiao Yuying seemed to be recalling something, Su Li did not disturb her.
After a while, Jiao Yuying wiped her eyes. “Alright, take the children and go back quickly. If there’s anything, send us a message..”
