Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen exchanged a glance and smiled wryly. These matters seed like things they couldn’t help with even if they wanted to.
Building an elentary school here was not realistic for the ti being. There were houses everywhere, but as for teachers, where would they find them?
However, it seed unlikely that Xiao Mutou could go out to study either.
In the Old Clan Leader’s heart, no matter how intelligent the child was, it wasn’t more important than good health.
Gu Qiaoqiao had realized this long ago.
The Old Clan Leader had two sons. The eldest son and his wife had two daughters who had already married and moved away.
So now, Xiao Mutou was his only grandson, naturally treated as the apple of his eye. Even if the youngest son and his wife went with the child to study, the Old Clan Leader would still worry about Xiao Mutou’s health. Besides, they might not have the ans.
It’s just a pity. Thinking of Chang Qing’s bright future now, Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Since Xiao Mutou cannot go out to study for the ti being, shouldn’t we find him so elentary school textbooks to start learning?"
The Old Clan Leader was not annoyed by Gu Qiaoqiao’s enthusiasm but rather felt touched because Gu Qiaoqiao cared about his little grandson.
In these mountains for so many years, the farthest anyone has gone is Ling Nan, and, like Xiao Mutou, Ling Nan also didn’t receive a real education. So, the Old Clan Leader wasn’t so obsessed with it. Besides, Xiao Mutou’s health is poor, which is entirely different from whether people care if Xiao Mutou has books to read.
He wasn’t soone who didn’t know gratitude. He understood that Gu Qiaoqiao spoke from genuine concern for his little grandson. The descendants of the Gu Family from the Imperial Capital had different views on many matters.
He had to be grateful.
The Old Clan Leader looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and said kindly, "Once his health improves, I’ll send Xiao Mutou out to study."
The youngest son’s wife finally spoke up, "Dad, where will the child live?"
The Old Clan Leader waved his hand, "You don’t have to worry about that. I already have plans..."
At this point, the youngest son’s wife looked anxiously at her son, and when she glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, there was a hint of bla in her eyes.
It seed she blad Gu Qiaoqiao for ddling.
However, knowing Gu Qiaoqiao was an honored guest, she quickly looked away, but Gu Qiaoqiao still noticed.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t expect Xiao Mutou’s mother to have such strong objections to this matter. She put down her chopsticks and smiled, saying, "Clan Leader Grandpa, I’m full. Let’s go and see how the old peach tree is doing in the village..."
Gu Qiaoqiao realized that letting Xiao Mutou attend school now was obviously impractical. First, his grandfather was worried about his health; second, his mother didn’t want him to go out at all.
Letting him study under such conditions seed like harming him instead.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to cause trouble for the Gu Family by doing wrong while aning well.
Nor did she want Ling Nan to be in a difficult position here.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew what should and shouldn’t be done. After all, this was the family’s private matter. Even with the desire to help, she was powerless. She could only watch and wait.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t bring it up again, but the Old Clan Leader frowned slightly, glanced at the youngest son’s wife’s expression, coughed lightly twice but didn’t say anything, and instead led Gu Qiaoqiao and the other two towards the village center with his cane.
But they hadn’t walked even a hundred ters out of the house when a man in his thirties ca running forward, waving his arms with a voice filled with joy, "Clan Leader, Clan Leader, the old peach tree has manifested, the old peach tree has manifested..."
