Chapter 523

....
523 Naturally, it became his path
The next morning, Gu en wanted to eat shaved ice when she came over to exercise.
“You’re eating shaved ice so early in the morning?” Gu Nian looked at him, speechless. aren’t you afraid of getting a stomach ache? Or do you just want to eat something bad and not go to school?”
Gu en said,’sister Nian Nian, that thing is delicious! Wouldn’t it be hot after training? let me eat some! I came here obediently today! it’s not a big deal.”
“What do you want to do?” Gu shouxin gave him a sideways glance.
Gu en: ” Yingluo, hehe. I’m not eating anymore!
” i’ll give you a chess manual later, ” gu shouxin said. ” at the end of every month, you’ll play a game with sisi. if you win, i’ll allow you to rest for a day. ”
Gu en turned to look at her younger sister and her eyes lit up.”Second uncle, are you telling the truth?”
Gu si pouted,’what does brother mean?’ It’s as if I’m bad! Let’s see if I don’t torture you until you doubt your life, Hmph!
The corners of Gu shouxin’s mouth curled up,”of course it’s true.” I’ll accompany you to school later and ask your teacher about your recent situation.”
gu en waved his hand. he lost his balance and fell from the plum blossom dome.”Aiyo!”
Except for Cai Xiaolian, who was not standing on the plum blossom dome, who went to help him, the others all smiled at him.
Gu en felt extremely embarrassed and climbed up to stand properly.”Second uncle, I haven’t reached your standards yet. Can you go after I’ve reached them? I’ll really work hard!”
Gu shouxin said, ” alright. In the middle of next month, your school will be on holiday. Before that, you must achieve the goal I gave you! otherwise, you can move over to our place during the hot days. i’ll watch you study every day!”
“I know, second uncle,” Gu en said listlessly.
Ever since his second uncle passed the county examination, his good days were over. His second uncle had very high expectations for him. He wanted him to be the first in the monthly examination!
if he couldn’t, he would punish and torture him!
His second uncle didn’t hit him either. Anyway, he was quite afraid.
AI! It had been two months since he last spoke to Yingying.
however, second uncle was right. he was not capable, and yingying was so good-looking. there were many people who liked her. when the time came, yingying would not like him.
if he didn’t have the ability, in the future, when his sisters at home were bullied, he wouldn’t be able to help. maybe he would need his sisters to save him. as a man, how embarrassing would that be?
father was right. although second uncle used to be a scoundrel, he was still capable.
in another two months, his second uncle would probably be a scholar.
The second household had a scholar second uncle, but the first household could only have a kind father and a kind son? No, no, the first household must also have a scholar’s son.
He didn’t want to be well-versed in both literature and martial arts, but he couldn’t fall behind his sister in any way.
At this time, Gu en’s goal was only to be a scholar.
He didn’t know that when he became a scholar, his second uncle and father would lead him to become a high scholar’s benefactor, and then a scholar’s benefactor.
In any case, his entire life, until a very, very long time later, would be led by his father and second uncle. In the end, that path naturally became his path.
……
After breakfast, Gu shouxin accompanied Cai Xiaolian to the furniture store in town and sent Gu en to school.
As soon as he left, several people from the Meng family came over. This time, not only the four wives and two girls of the Meng family, but Meng Meng also came.
He was carrying a large back and his face was covered with a cloth. He happened to meet Gu Hui at the door.
“Good Morning, miss Hui!” He grinned, showing his big white teeth. Aiya, miss Hui, your complexion is not good, it’s a little yellow, put on some toothpaste! Look at my teeth, they’re so white and clean now!”
