Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot
Chapter 67 Speaking out
When eating, Gu Mingyue first put the food together for Xiao Shitou and let him eat slowly.
He glanced at Guangsheng next to him and saw that he was no longer nervous, so he felt relieved. Then he started eating.
No talking while eating and no talking while sleeping, Gu Mingyue clearly felt this atmosphere at the Xu family's dinner table.
I didn’t find it inconvenient. On the contrary, I enjoyed my meal more because I didn’t have to exchange polite words.
You know what, auntie’s cooking skills are really good.
This was the first time that Gu Mingyue had eaten such exquisite dishes since she came to this other world, and she ate a little too much unconsciously.
Probably because she saw Mingyue was eating so happily, the aunt came over to ask her if she needed more rice.
Gu Mingyue quickly waved her hand and pointed at her bulging belly. "Auntie, I want to eat, but my stomach is too full."
This made my aunt laugh lovingly.
Xu Fanrong became more and more appreciative of Gu Mingyue's forthright behavior, and his friendliness was visibly evident.
After dinner, I warmly invited her to eat some fruit.
Gu Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Grandpa, I really can't eat any more. If I eat any more, I'll probably have to walk with the help of a wall."
Xu Fanrong was unable to react for a moment. "Why are you walking with your hands on the wall?"
Gu Mingyue said helplessly, "Because I couldn't stand up straight."
This made the old man laugh heartily, and also made Xu Xiwen beside him feel a little jealous.
She and her cousin whispered, "Look at Grandpa, he's so happy that his teeth are showing."
After hearing this, the old man asked with fierce eyes, "Xiwen, what did you say?"
Xu Xiwen immediately sat up straight and said, "Grandpa, I'm telling you, it's rare to see you so happy."
Xu Fanrong snorted, "If you guys were half as good as Mingyue, I wouldn't be so angry and glare at you all day long. In the future, you should learn to be more steady and stop being so timid and unruly all day long."
Gu Mingyue didn't want to be a teaching material for others, so she couldn't help but retort, "Grandpa, do you know what I hate to hear the most?"
Xu Fanrong was surprised that the topic changed so quickly and shook his head in confusion.
Gu Mingyue said bluntly, "What I hate most is when the elders say, 'Look at someone's child, why is he so good? Why don't you learn from him?'"
It was the first time that Xu Fanrong was said like this by a junior. His face became serious and he said, "When you grow up, you will understand that I do this for their own good."
Gu Mingyue clapped her hands. "This is the second thing I hate to hear, 'I'm doing this for your own good'."
After that, without waiting for the old man to speak, she said to the little stone in her arms, "Tell Grandpa Xu the story of the two leaves. Grandpa Xu has never heard of it."
The little guy wasn't shy, he just rolled his eyes around, probably thinking...
When he remembered, he explained in a crisp voice, “Aunt said that there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, even if some are bitten by insects, some... some are different;
But they are all unique and cannot be compared. Just like a small stone is a small stone, my aunt’s small stone.”
After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly turned around and lay in Gu Mingyue's arms.
The little guy's words were not very clear, but everyone understood what he wanted to express.
Xu Xiwen used to dislike children because there were too many of them in the family and they were too noisy.
Now she realized that she just didn't like noisy children.
If they were all like Gu Mingyue’s nephew, she would like them very much.
It would be better to say this a few more times so that she doesn't have to get scolded every time.
Gu Mingyue was indeed annoyed by these words.
It seems that without comparing positive and negative teaching materials, parents will not be able to feel superior in front of their children and will not be able to demonstrate their status.
But I don’t know how destructive such words can be.
Those with good psychological qualities may work hard, but she firmly believes that it is definitely not voluntary and will only increase their sense of comparison and competitiveness.
Not to mention those with poor mental quality.
I saw a news report before where a parent always used the example of his neighbor’s children, saying how good their children were and how bad his own children were.
Every time I take an exam or perform poorly, I have to say this.
In the end, the poor child teamed up with another even worse child to bury alive the neighbor child that his parents had mentioned.
People doing things? !
At the time, this news had a huge impact, and some netizens asked, who is responsible?
There is no answer.
In her previous life, she had heard this many times.
That unscrupulous couple always said, look at other children who buy this and that for their parents, you are not as unfilial as me…
Look, if we hadn't been a little tougher on you, you wouldn't have gotten this far. We were all doing this for your own good...
They justified themselves as if this could erase all the previous harm.
As if all the pain she had endured was so insignificant.
She doesn't like it, she really doesn't like it, she even says she is disgusted by it.
She said bluntly, "Old man, I don't deny that your starting point is definitely good, but you overlooked two points;
First, you do not want or even hate me as the role model or teaching material for your descendants.
Second, your descendants may not like me either. This will lead to us both being disgusted with each other.
I can't say you're wrong, you're just using the wrong approach. Sorry, I didn't mean to be nosy, I just don't like being compared like this."
After that, he stood up and said, "Thank you and your family for your hospitality today. I hope my words will not cause you any trouble. I wish you and your family good health. It's getting late, so I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."
Xu Kejian also stood up at this time, "Xiwen, come with me to see Mingyue off."
The way Xu Xiwen looked at Gu Mingyue now was as if she was looking at a god.
Her thoughts were in a mess. Her roommate was not talkative before. Was it because he was too aggressive and it was difficult to speak to her?
Even until she got in the car, she was still immersed in her wild thoughts.
Gu Mingyue thought Xu Kejian was just going to send her to the door, but she didn't expect him to drive her directly to the guesthouse.
I thanked him a little embarrassedly, "Please come for me."
Xu Kejian, who was driving, looked straight ahead and said, "It's okay, I just need to digest my food. Besides, 'listening to your words is worth ten years of reading', I am willing to listen to Mingyue's words."
Gu Mingyue chuckled, "I thought you would bring an army to question me."
Xu Kejian said seriously, "Of course not. After all, I was once a victim. To be honest, it feels good."
Xu Xiwen was startled and shouted, "Dad, why didn't you speak up for me before?"
Xu Kejian teased, "You should also experience your father's suffering, so that you will not be ignorant of the sufferings of the world."
"dad!"
Except for Xiao Shitou who didn't understand, everyone else in the car couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Mingyue then asked, "What about Sister Bai's husband?"
Xu Kejian suppressed his smile and said, "Don't worry, they won't last for a few days."
Gu Mingyue was relieved. "That's good, otherwise I would always be worried about it."
She didn't say anything about contacting each other later. Anyway, Bai Fenglai was in Qingshan Town and could find out at any time.
Moreover, from the tone of voice earlier, it seemed that the other party was coming for the Xu family.
There must be some political reasons involved, so she, a small shrimp, should just stay in the pool obediently.
She said sincerely, "I look forward to good news from Uncle Xu, and I hope he won't involve me."
People around Xu Kejian usually say one thing and leave ten more to follow.
After having come across so many roundabout ways, I prefer talking to people who get straight to the point.
He laughed out loud, "Haha...it seems that the last sentence is the key point."
Gu Mingyue said innocently, "Of course. I don't want to be affected by the fire in the city gate."
"If I don't have this ability, I don't deserve to call you uncle." Xu Kejian did not hide the determination and confidence in his words.
Then he asked, "If you don't have any plans tomorrow, let Xiwen accompany you to visit Harbin?"
