If it was in the past, perhaps she might be able to raise two children on her own and she would be able to accept it if Beihan really moved out.
But it was not possible now.
Her health was poor as she strained herself when she was younger in order to raise these kids. Now, she simply did not have the capacity to raise the two grandsons and she would really not be able to do it without Mo Beihan’s help.
Her son had said that he would not abandon them and she believed him.
Furthermore, Gu Qingyao indeed treated them quite well. So be it if he treated Gu Qingyao well!
Only by taking good care of his own small family would he have more energy to take care of them.
Jiang Yingqiu grinned as she kept the items away and separated the snacks from food. Afterward, she took a look at the letter.
On the other side of the house, Gu Qingyao was checking the kids’ homework.
Mo Chengrui was truly intelligent. He had an exceptional grasp of both the language and mathematics. Gu Qingyao was surprised to find that he was almost completed with the junior high school textbook and that he knew a lot of foreign languages.
“Xiao Rui, have you finished reading the junior high school textbook? I saw you memorizing vocabulary words previously but did not even see you learning this. You’re learning very quickly.”
Mo Chengrui nodded. “I’ve already read through the books for junior high school once. I’m basically fine with the first year’s contents but I’ll still have to consolidate the contents for the second and third year.
“Young Uncle brought many textbooks over last year and told me to study hard. He even taught me a lot! Much more than any time before. And as for foreign languages, although I had learnt it before, I did not place much attention to it. But when Young Uncle returned, he said to study hard for it and that it is a must to learn them. He also said I must learn more than one. These are the assignments that he set for me and he wants me to finish learning them by this year. He would check when he returns during the new year.”
Gu Qingyao looked through the assignments that Mo Beihan set and truthfully, they were really rigorous.
Mo Chengrui took a few books on foreign languages and said, “Young Uncle gave these to me. He said that he occasionally saw them at the junkyard so he brought them back for me. He told me to understand everything on here and at the very least, I have to recognize every word.
“If I did not recognize them, I should go to the old men and old ladies at the cowshed as all of them understand.”
The Qing River Brigade was not the only one with a cowshed – the South Lake Brigade also had one and there lived demoted elderlies whom Gu Qingyao knew as well.
In this age, those who were demoted were basically capable persons.
Aside, Mo Chengxu pouted. “Young Uncle is also strict. He said that if I don’t complete the assignments, he will spank my butt when he returns.”
“Pfft…” Laughter escaped Gu Qingyao’s lips.
She sat beside Mo Chengxu. “Let me take a look at your assignment. I’ll teach you. If you don’t understand, you can look for me next time. All right?”
“Yes, yes!”
Gu Qingyao remained in the Mo Family’s house for the entire afternoon and taught the kids to read and do their assignments.
She only returned home in the evening.
The next day, Gu Qingyao prepared to bring her aunt and Gu Fangting to the town.
Her aunt had been back home for such a long time but had not even left the house!
Especially Gu Fangting – she was so old but had not even been to the town as she was only laboring at home back in the Li family’s house.
Actually, when she was young, she did go out and been to the town with the people from the Gu family but she did not remember as it happened very long ago.
She was too young back then as well.
Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu were delighted that their daughter’s body recuperated well. Hearing that Gu Qingyao wanted to make a trip to town, Wen Ruyu hurriedly took some money and coupons for Gu Yunshuang.
