If you are poor, you can take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.

Gu Yao has always remembered this sentence. When her family was poor, she had to take care of herself first.

Even though she is rich now, she has to take care of herself and her family first, otherwise how can she be qualified to be her parents' daughter and her husband's wife.

Their family had no worries about food and drink, and they just had to take out a little of their food to help the poor people, which was still affordable.

She was not one to show off. She had previously heard that some wealthy families were also starting to give out porridge.

It's okay for the Gu family to get involved, it won't be to the point of attracting attention, and it can also be a good thing.

Listening to Gu Yao's explanation, Gu's father breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Although our family helps the people, there is no need to show off. After all, keeping a low profile is the truth.

He remembered one thing when he was a child. There was a rich man in a village two villages away from them who was too ostentatious.

Not knowing the importance of not showing off one's wealth, his family was eventually robbed by bandits, and their entire family was destroyed. From then on, Gu's father knew that no matter how rich you are, you should not show off too much, as showing off too much is a disgusting thing.

After the poor people in the county and towns learned that there were several wealthy families in the county who wanted to help the poor, they flocked to the county, bringing more people to the county.

The county magistrate was very happy when he heard about this. At least this was one of her achievements, showing that the people here were simple and kind.

She also wrote a special plaque for the family that provided free porridge and sent it to all of them, including Gu Yao.

Gu Yao is the successful candidate in this county, and it is also a honor for her as the county magistrate. When Gu's father saw this plaque, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Ayao, it seems that this county magistrate is not bad. He knows that our families have made great contributions. Besides, this plaque was given by the adults. When the time comes, others will look up to us."

Father Gu thought that since the county magistrate had such a good impression of them, no one would dare to bully them in the future.

Gu Yao smiled and said, "After all, what we did is a good thing. And it is the county magistrate's achievement, so of course she should praise it. Besides, this plaque doesn't take much effort, and it can praise us and make people respect her as the county magistrate. Why not do it?"

Gu Yao understood after listening to Gu Yao's explanation. However, although the county magistrate gained fame and political achievements without any effort, this plaque was also a recognition for them.

Moreover, thinking that his daughter was a juren, even if she passed the exam, she would still be a resident of the county, so it was only right for her to have a good relationship with the county magistrate.

The porridge cooked by these families saved the poor people, allowing them to drink warm porridge and hot soup in the middle of winter.

What's more, the county magistrate has found a place for those poor people to live, so as long as they can survive this winter, their lives will be better.

The Gu family was once poor, but now they are rich. However, he still feels bad when he sees these equally poor people.

They thought that God was not letting them have an easy life, but fortunately the people in the county were kind and willing to help them so that they would not have to starve or freeze in the winter.

Gu's mother was very active in providing porridge to the common people. She had now figured out that her family would be a family of scholars in the future, and what a family of scholars needed most was a good reputation.

She even wanted to continue to build a good reputation for her daughter. As long as her daughter had a good reputation, no one in the county would dare to bully her daughter.

However, she also knew that she should not worry too much, nor should she stand out too much. A tree that stands out in the forest will be blown away by the wind, so she just had to find the right balance.

Now everyone in the town and county doesn’t know that the Gu family is the one who is distributing porridge this time.

Especially since her daughter was a juren, people in the county had a good impression of the Gu family.

Lin Wulang received invitations from some families in the county, inviting them to appreciate the plum blossoms. After all, winter is here and it is indeed the season for appreciating plum blossoms.

After picking two, I planned to take Lin Liulang and Han Yuqing with me.

He wanted to take advantage of the upcoming New Year to visit more banquets at the two cities. It would be boring at home, and attending banquets could also build up his courage and broaden his horizons.

Over the course of a year, he attended many banquets and made two friends.

Sometimes when you are bored, you can invite friends to your home to chat and read books.

Gu Yao knew that they were going to attend a banquet, so she asked Lin Wulang and the others to buy some gold and silver jewelry, as well as silk clothes. Although they were a bit expensive, they looked very nice and suited the three of them.

She thought all three husbands were good-looking and had different personalities.

So I would usually buy them some more nice things, so that she would feel obsessed with them, just like the dress-up games she played before.

Lin Wulang also felt that whenever Gu Yao came back from shopping, she would always carry a lot of bags, and all the things she bought were the things they bought, which made him very happy.

Who wouldn't like his wife to care about him?

"You can leave the children at home while you go to the party. The weather is a bit cold now, and Pingping and the others are not suitable to run outside all the time.

Gu Ping is almost two years old. He can walk and talk now, but he speaks a little slowly.

Gu Ning was only a few months old, so she was worried about letting the two little ones go out in the cold winter.

While packing up his things, Lin Wulang said, "We don't plan to take them out. Although it would be fun to attend the party, the weather is cold now. Liulang and I plan to hand them over to Dad to watch over them. It can also help Dad and the others pass the time."

Most of the time, the two of them take care of the children. After all, Lin Wulang sometimes has to take care of household affairs, so Gu Ping is taken care of by his father most of the time. Therefore, his father still likes to take care of the two children.

Gu Ping and the other two were relatively well behaved, although a little more lively, but at least Gu's father and the other three could still keep an eye on them.

Gu Yao thought that since she had nothing to do tomorrow, she might as well take the two children with her and read books and tell them stories.

The next day, Gu Yao brought her two children to her father's house. She talked to him, read books with the two children, and even played a flute piece for them.

She knew how to play the flute in her previous life. She had learned it before, and later she also took two flute lessons when she was in the county school.

It was obvious that Gu Ping and the others liked Gu Yao's flute playing very much and they listened quietly. Gu Ping even said that she wanted Gu Yao to teach her to play the flute.

"When you grow up, mom will teach you, okay? You can't learn it now, so you two should eat well, and then you can grow up quickly."

"Ayao is multi-talented. Not only does he learn how to say hello, he also plays the flute beautifully."

Father Gu looked at Gu Yao with eyes full of pride. This was his daughter who he had raised. Now she had brought such great glory to their Gu family. He felt happy just thinking about it.
