A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

Gu Qinghuan led the two children as they walked and gave them ideological education.

"When you're out and about and someone asks you what you eat and drink, what do you two say?"

Beibei shook his mushroom head and answered proudly: "We eat rice, white flour buns, dumplings and noodles."

Dabao quickly tried to cover her mouth.

"You can't say that."

"Why? These are all the ones we have eaten." Beibei looked at his brother in confusion.

Gu Qinghuan also asked with interest: "Dabao, why?"

"Dad said that greed is the key, and wealth should not be shown off. Since we eat so well, those who are not as good as us will feel resentful and jealous of us, and will inevitably cause trouble for us," Dabao explained in a serious tone.

Gu Qinghuan didn't expect that Xu Huaian had taught the children these things, and felt quite gratified.

“Dabao is right, wealth should not be exposed, and things should be accomplished in secrecy.

Don't show off your wealth. This teaches us not to show off our wealth easily. When we are too ostentatious, it may attract the jealousy and dissatisfaction of others.

It's like on a cold winter day, we wear thick cotton jackets and enjoy the warmth, but we will feel resentment towards those who are shivering in the cold wind.

Our showing off will only make them feel cold and even arouse their malice.

The same is true for food. When we eat delicious white rice, those who eat bran and vegetables will be jealous and bring us unnecessary trouble.

Things are accomplished through secrecy, which teaches us to learn to keep our own secrets.

There are always things we don’t want others to know. Only when we know them ourselves can we better seize opportunities and avoid unnecessary interference and obstacles.

Behind success, there are always many unknown plans and efforts.

If the secrets are leaked, it is likely to lead to failure and disaster. "

Both children listened very carefully.

"So, from now on, when others ask about your family's food, clothing and other expenses, remember to say it is poor. We have to make a fortune in silence." Gu Qinghuan concluded.

"Well, make a fortune in silence!" the two children shouted in unison.

The mother and her two children walked into the mountains, talking and laughing all the way.

Gu Qinghuan didn't dare to go too deep with the two children, so they found a small path they had never walked on and walked along it.

Pick some hazel mushrooms and other mushrooms if you come across them.

It's quite relaxing and pleasant.

When they reached a forest, Gu Qinghuan saw a dense field of small red fruits.

If I’m not mistaken, this is... Schisandra chinensis, right?

In order to verify it, Gu Qinghuan walked closer to study it and found that it was indeed Schisandra chinensis.

Schisandra chinensis has multiple pharmacological effects, including antitussive, expectorant, sedative, liver protection, vasodilation, regulation of myocardial cell energy metabolism, regulation of immune function, anti-ulcer, and anti-aging.

Maybe the people in the village don’t know much about medicinal herbs and don’t know the medicinal value of Schisandra chinensis, so no one picked it.

Another idea to make money suddenly popped up in Gu Qinghuan's mind.

If you sell wild Schisandra chinensis fruit fresh, it would cost at least 50 cents per pound, right?

If we harvested this large piece of Schisandra chinensis and sold it all, it would weigh at least three or four hundred kilograms.

That's about one or two hundred dollars.

Although it is a bit hard, a mosquito, no matter how small it is, is still meat.

"Dabao, Beibei, come and take a look. This red fruit is called Schisandra chinensis, a medicinal herb. Let's pick it and sell it. It's more valuable than wild vegetables."

The two children's eyes lit up. They never thought that the red fruits they often saw could actually make money.

"Mom, can we make more money from these red fruits than from wild vegetables? Then let's pick more and sell them. I know several places where we can find these red fruits." Dabao shouted happily.

"Shh, keep your voice down. If someone hears us, we won't be able to make any money."

Schisandra chinensis is not valuable these days and no one has any use for it.

But if she puts it on a vending machine and sells it to people in the future, it will be valuable.

Still, proceed with caution.

Beibei looked at Gu Qinghuan with admiration: "Mom, you are so amazing. You know everything."

She, her brother and other people in the village didn't know that this fruit was a medicinal herb and could make money.

“This is because my mother read a lot of books and met a lot of people and things.

These are all very simple. As long as you study hard, you will know everything in the future. "Gu Qinghuan planted a seed of learning in the hearts of the two children.

Dabao looked at Gu Qinghuan in surprise: "Mom, can we learn knowledge too?"

Gu Qinghuan didn't expect Dabao to be so surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood the reason.

In Xujiatun, very few children can go to school. Most of the children have to work at home, and the half-grown children have to do the work of adults.

Only families with a little savings are willing to send their children to school in town.

For example, several children in the Xu family have received education, and even Xu Meiling has finished junior high school. So she thinks she is an educated person and looks down on the men in the village. She fell in love with Chen Jianghe, who is well-educated and good-looking.

But it was obvious that they didn't take her seriously at all. They were just dealing with her for the sake of the branch secretary's face.

The two children obviously never thought that Gu Qinghuan would pay for their schooling, and they were a little surprised for a moment.

"Of course you can study! But the semester is already halfway over, so don't go for now.

Winter is coming and it will be cold. Your grandmother and I will start your education at home, and after the New Year, we will send you to school in town." Gu Qinghuan had already planned it in his mind.

Zhong Zijun is a university teacher and she herself graduated from a 985 university, so there is no problem for her to educate the two little kids.

If she hadn't considered that her child could learn more systematically in school, she could have taught him at home herself.

Dabao felt warm in his heart: "Mom, we will definitely study hard."

Beibei doesn’t understand the benefits of reading yet. She just knows that if her brother is happy, then she is happy too.

After deciding on the study, the three of them were ready to work hard and earn a lot of money.

The two children were short, so they stood under the tree and picked the fruits low down, while Gu Qinghuan picked the ones high up.

She broke a stick in her hand and used it to pull down the vines if they were too high.

Soon he had picked a full sack.

Gu Qinghuan also secretly smuggled a lot of things into the space, so these don’t have to be carried back.

After filling a sack, she planned to take these down first and let the two children continue picking here. This area was actually not far from home and was not deep in the mountains, so there was no danger.

"Dabao, Beibei, you two continue to pick the fruits into the basket. Mom will carry them down and come back up. You just wait obediently and don't run around. If you hear any movement, climb up this tree. Be careful."

"Okay, Mom, we got it. There's no danger here. Go ahead."

Dabao often takes his sister up the mountain. He is familiar with the area at the foot of the mountain, but he has never been to the deep mountains.

Gu Qinghuan went down the mountain carrying a sack of Schisandra chinensis.

After returning home, he put down the Schisandra chinensis, hurriedly filled a pot of spiritual spring water, and hurried up the mountain again.

When she reached the edge of the mountain, she met a beautiful woman.

This person was none other than the educated youth Lin Xiaomeng, her nominal sister-in-law and the heroine of the book.
