Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 970 It’s Not a Bad Thing

Mrs. Liu was amused by her daughter-in-law's three consecutive questions. She shook her head, nodded, pointed toward the window, and went to find her grandson.

"Ha, you've fallen out of favor." After Gu Wenxuan teased his wife, he explained to his mother in sign language, "Our father is still out and hasn't come back yet."

I think so too. He must have been held back by someone in the village. I just don’t know whether the old man was invited back or he was invited by someone to visit.

Anyway, it’s not easy to cook in our house in the village even if we have a kang. If we don’t need to invite people to drink, we might as well just invite them back to drink.

"But it will be soon. My eldest brother will be back soon. He knows that dad hasn't come back yet, so he will definitely go look for him. He doesn't have to worry about our parents going hungry.

Come and eat. There is nothing in the house, but the big and small stoves are always on. If I'm not mistaken, Dad is most likely at my great-grandfather's house now.

It’s not a bad thing, it’s just that my father has thought of many nicknames for our son, and he wants my grandfather to help him pick one for our child.

As for our son's name, our parents want to wait until the child is older and then ask a master to give him a name, and then enter it in the family tree."

This father-in-law is more and more thoughtful and knows how to behave. Apart from the fact that the old man respects the great grandfather, which makes people unable to gossip, how can the great grandfather not be happy if he asks the great grandfather to pick a nickname for the child? In the end, the right to name the child naturally belongs to the uncle.

There is still a lot to learn about these social etiquettes!

"Also, from what I heard from Dad, it seems that Grandpa and Grandma have found a marriage for Erniu, and Grandma has even come to ask for Dad's opinion.

Dad said that it was impossible for him to interfere, but since the grandmother wanted to talk to him, regardless of whether the marriage was successful or not, he should appreciate the good intention.

So I guess Dad would go to Great-grandfather's house before coming back. One reason is that when Great-grandmother came to see Dad, there were people coming and going, and some things were difficult to say.

It's basically just going to my great-grandfather's house to explain to him and his wife why he shouldn't interfere. After all, our father did a lot of work in the marriages of the eldest and third girls.

And now that great-grandmother has come to my father in person to hear what he has to say, it seems a bit inhumane that he still ignores Erniu's marriage.

We should give the Buddha some consideration. Her grandmother, who lives next door, has come forward to find a husband for her niece. After all, our father is the second uncle, so it is not right for him to vent his anger on his niece.

Let alone other people, even if my great-grandfather and his wife knew very well that my uncle had completely disappointed my father, they would not think that my father really ignored my uncle's family.

Dad just wanted to strike while the iron was hot, taking advantage of the fact that the old man and his son had just been punished, and that Grandma was asking for his opinion on Erniu's marriage so that he could take a stand.

Regardless of whether the great grandmother tried to test Dad and whether he would completely ignore him from then on, the brothers have already started their own families and he is now just the second uncle.

For example, the marriage of the eldest and third girls was not only arranged by our parents with the personal approval of our third uncle and aunt, but even the eldest and third girls said they would listen to their father. As their father was their second uncle, it was natural that he was easy to talk to.

When it comes to Erniu's marriage, my uncle and his wife have their own ideas. Did my uncle consult my father for advice, or did my aunt hear the advice given by my mother?

They don't even try to find a suitable family for Erniu, and they even act as if our parents are afraid that they will marry into a rich family. It's disgusting, so who dares to make a fuss about it?"

That's how it is. It's really annoying. They had been eyeing the Zhao family before. It was not right to help or not to help. Erniu was delayed. She said that instead of letting Erniu, who was average in all aspects, marry into the Zhao family and feel out of place, it would be better to find a wealthy and kind family nearby for Erniu.

This is the good relationship between Qin and Jin. Marriage is a long-term way that benefits us all. Otherwise, even if you marry into the Zhao family, do you really think that Second Aunt Zhao will not be picky?
Aunt Zhao Er's daughters-in-law today are all either proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or good at managing the dowry shop, which makes Erniu, who has no skills, feel embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and looked up at Gu Wenxuan, "Is there a female teacher coming with my second and third brothers this time?"

"some."

Although Gu Wenxuan was stunned by Zhou Banxia's sudden question, he quickly reacted and realized that the so-called female teacher was naturally the teacher found for his younger sister.

"In addition to the female teacher that the master's wife found, even the nanny that Auntie Lan mentioned is here this time. So the baby you gave birth to is not a girl?"

Zhou Banxia almost burst out laughing, but luckily she had the foresight to swallow the food in her mouth earlier. Listen to what he said, if she is not your daughter, can't I teach your sister?
"It's just right to teach Baoya. It doesn't mean that you have to teach Baoya to be a daughter of a rich family. No matter what, it's better to understand some things than not to understand them.

A housekeeper is not as good as a female teacher. At best a female teacher can teach some arts like playing chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework. There is no need for a girl to be proficient in everything. It is enough to know the basics.

For example, for needlework, as long as she can make clothes, it will be enough. When our Baoya finds a family that has no shortage of maids to accompany her as a dowry, we can pick a maid with good skills for her earlier.

The most important things in life are etiquette, how to treat people, how to manage household chores, and how to avoid some shady tactics. All of this depends on the guidance of the nanny.

I don't ask others to teach Baoya well, but she still needs to understand what she should understand. As you said, things in the world are unpredictable. I only have one sister, so I should always think more about her.

We can still protect her while she is under our watch, but when she gets married and has children, she will have more ties, so it will be best for her to be able to stand on her own feet."

This is in line with your point of view. No matter what, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. In the end, Baoya has to be able to stand on her own feet!

Gu Wenxuan nodded in agreement and gestured to Zhou Banxia to continue eating. He thought for a moment and said, "If you say so, then the expenses will be too high. It's impossible for me to stay for only a year or two."

You will help me take credit, my child's father! Even if Zhou Banxia didn't prick up her ears, she could hear her mother-in-law coming towards her and her husband.

"How big can it be? It's nothing more than an extra amount of offerings and how much we can spend on food and daily necessities. My sister-in-law and I are not only capable of giving birth to sons, we can also have daughters—"

"Stop!" Gu Wenxuan was frightened. You are capable of giving birth, but you are still not afraid? ! "Let me tell you first, I have a son, which is enough. If you want to give birth, let my sister-in-law do it."

Zhou Banxia joked, "Don't you want a daughter? So you were just trying to make me happy, or are you satisfied with having a son?"

You have no conscience. If I let you continue, are you going to ask me if I want to find someone to give birth to a daughter for me? "Haha, don't give me that, I won't fall for it!

Eat yours quickly, the soup is getting cold. Children are more important in quality than quantity. You are not as smart as our mother in this respect. My aunt-in-law has many children, but what is the use?

Are more sons better than my two brothers, or are more daughters better than Baoya? I'm not saying that if my parents were as stupid as them, my three brothers and sisters would have been useless long ago."

Mrs. Liu: "..."
