"But these are all clothes for one- or two-year-old babies. I didn't know you would be back so early," Widow Wu said, scratching her head somewhat awkwardly.
She was actually a little worried that Su Niannian wouldn't like these things.
After all, Su Niannian is actually very good at making money, as can be seen from her wedding.
I don't know if she will accept my small token of appreciation.
However, Widow Wu was worrying unnecessarily.
Su Niannian looked at the little clothes in her hands, clearly delighted with them.
"Sister Wu, what are you saying! These things are all excellent." Su Niannian smiled sincerely.
The smile reached his eyes.
Grandpa Bai, who was standing to the side, also took a few pieces of children's clothes from Su Niannian's hands and looked at them.
"The craftsmanship is truly excellent; the stitches are very dense, and you can tell that it was done with care." Old Master Bai was generous with his praise.
Grandpa Bai has had Tang suits made by someone for many years, so you can tell whether the stitches are good or bad, and whether he put his heart into it.
Widow Wu, who had been quite reserved, smiled when she heard what Old Master Bai said.
"Mom said that the clothes are for the baby in Sister Niannian's belly, so we have to be careful and meticulous," Baozi said, tilting her chin up.
Baozi felt a sense of pride when he heard someone praise his mother.
Although many people look down on their mothers, Baozi thinks his mother is very good and wonderful.
She is the best mother in the world.
Baozi secretly vowed countless times that when he grew up, he would work hard, earn more money, and give his mother a good life.
I will never let my mother go hungry or wear tattered clothes again.
Baozi also decided that when he grows up, he will join the army.
I want to be a soldier who protects my country!
Just like Gu Nan!
Thinking of this, Baozi searched for Gu Nan's figure in the crowd.
But what if I didn't see it?
"Baozi, what are you looking for?" Su Niannian asked, noticing that Baozi's little eyes seemed to be searching for something.
"Where's Brother Gu Nan?" Baozi asked.
“In the kitchen!” Su Niannian replied.
"Can I go see Brother Gu Nan?" Baozi asked again.
After receiving Su Niannian's nod of agreement, Baozi ran into the kitchen.
result……
And then he saw his idol, the great hero who had caught the antique trafficker, right there...
Stir-fry?
Gu Nan noticed a small figure appearing at the kitchen doorway.
"The steamed buns are here." Gu Nan rarely spoke up and took the initiative to greet them.
"Why is Brother Gu Nan cooking?" Baozi asked.
Gu Nan replied while cooking.
"Why can't I cook?"
“My mother said that a real man doesn’t need to go into the kitchen…” Baozi replied.
Su Niannian also walked to the kitchen door at this moment.
“A real man can cook for the one he loves,” Su Niannian said, stroking Baozi’s head.
Then I explained it to Baozi again.
There is no rule that says men can't cook.
Baozi listened attentively to Su Niannian.
Then he nodded and ran back to his mother's side.
"Mom, from now on, I'll learn to cook for you too!" Baozi said, pulling on his mother's arm.
Widow Wu smiled when she heard Baozi's words.
"it is good!"
In this day and age, many men do not cook, instinctively believing that cooking and housework are women's jobs.
Even in later generations, many men still hold this view.
However, it is absolutely the right thing for a man to take the initiative to do housework and cook.
Widow Wu felt gratified that Baozi was growing little by little.
Su Niannian turned and went into the house. When she came out again, she had many notebooks and pens in her hands.
Su Niannian handed these things to Baozi.
Baozi looked at what Su Niannian was holding and asked her in surprise.
"Are all of these...for me?"
"Yes!" Su Niannian smiled, trying to hand the things in her hands to Baozi.
But Baozi held his mother's hand and didn't take the things from Su Niannian's hands.
Su Niannian looked at the steamed bun with some confusion.
Widow Wu looked at Su Niannian and spoke somewhat shyly.
“Our family doesn’t have the money to send Baozi to school…” Widow Wu said this with a sense of guilt in her heart.
In Widow Wu's opinion, Baozi was actually very clever.
However, it was already a blessing for their family to have enough to eat and not to starve or freeze to death in the winter.
There are no schools in Kaoshan Village.
If you want to go to school, you need to go to the county town.
Even if she could afford the tuition, food would be another problem.
The work points that Widow Wu earned working in the fields were hardly enough to feed the widow and her child.
On weekdays, they also need to go to the fields to dig up some wild vegetables.
The wild vegetables are dried, and we'll save some to eat in the winter.
Otherwise, we might not even make it through this winter.
In the evenings, Widow Wu would also help people with some handicrafts.
But you can't make much money that way.
Nobody wants to be bald if they have hair.
If it were really possible, she would also like her child to be able to go to school, and she would also like both herself and her child to have enough to eat!
Upon hearing what Widow Wu said, Su Niannian led Widow Wu and Baozi aside.
"I believe that only by learning knowledge can I change my current life and my future destiny."
"I want to pay for Baozi's tuition."
"At worst, Baozi can pay me back when he grows up and earns money."
Su Niannian spoke with a smile.
Widow Wu waved her hand, intending to refuse.
“Sister Wu, you can’t give up on Baozi’s education just because of the current difficulties.”
"Only by reading more books can we have the opportunity to change everything we have now."
“This money isn’t just for you; it’s a loan,” Su Niannian said earnestly, taking Wu Widow’s hand.
Widow Wu glanced at Su Niannian, then looked down at the steamed bun.
Baozi really wanted to study, and after thinking about it, Widow Wu finally decided to accept Su Niannian's kind offer.
"Then consider this money a loan from me, and I'll give you an IOU," Widow Wu said earnestly.
Su Niannian smiled and said, "Okay!"
Su Niannian naturally understood the saying, "A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment."
Therefore, there was no objection to Widow Wu's suggestion to write an IOU.
After Su Niannian gave Widow Wu twenty yuan, she also wrote an IOU.
Widow Wu was illiterate, but she trusted Su Niannian and pressed her fingerprint on the IOU Su Niannian wrote.
"Mom...can I go to school now?" Baozi asked his mother, looking up at her.
Widow Wu stroked Baozi's head and nodded with a smile.
Tears welled up in Widow Wu's eyes; she was very grateful for everything Su Niannian had done for her.
I hope that Baozi will grow up to be a successful person so that he can repay the kindness Su Niannian has shown him.
