Chapter 323: A Man's Responsibility - Part 1

    

inally has evidence to prove that Xu Huaiyi is indeed as ruthless and heartless as she claimed, someone who doesn't even acknowledge his own family. She feels a sense of vindication.Others weren't as...Perhaps Gu Huixi wasn't aware, but Xu Huaoyi had secretly increased her favorability again. She was very busy that morning and didn't have a moment to spare.

After breakfast, seeing that the snow hadn't stopped, I went to the storage room and sorted out our supplies. I estimated how long we could last. The food was enough to eat; there was plenty of preserved meat, cabbage, and radishes. Only eggs, fresh meat, and fish were harder to come by. However, I gave Baopu a few ounces of silver and told him to go to the nearby market and see if any stalls were still open. If he found anything edible, no matter what it was, he should buy it back.

Although there is no shortage of food at home, there are still many people living on the farm. They can't just eat flatbreads and pickled vegetables all the time. Every few days, we should still cook a meat dish to supplement their nutrition. After all, they work very hard.

She also taught Wei Ci how to quickly sprout beans. In the cold winter when vegetables are scarce, bean sprouts are a good choice.

Moreover, he ordered Wei Liang to burn more charcoal. Not only for use at home, but also to send some to Xu Huaiyi. These days, he had to be on duty at the disaster relief village and would inevitably suffer from the cold. With charcoal, lighting a brazier would help him endure it better.

The most important thing is still to go to Dr. Jiao and ask for a recipe in exchange for medicine.

Dr. Jiao, after hearing this, almost without considering it, readily agreed.

Since medical books were originally meant for family use, how could he possibly stop people from using them for good deeds now

Even, he proactively agreed and personally went to negotiate.

A professional does a professional's job, naturally getting twice the result with half the effort. Gu Huanxi was initially hesitant to ask because she knew Dr. Jiao wasn't an ordinary physician. She didn't feel comfortable assigning tasks to him. But to her surprise, he took the initiative, and she was overjoyed, thanking him profusely.

Doctor Jiao said, "No need to thank me. The old man also hopes for the well-being of the disaster victims and a stable world so that we can all have a good life."

If the refugees riot, or if there's an epidemic, who can escape Many people know this truth, but they just don't want to do anything about it.

Therefore, the actions of this couple are all the more precious. Perhaps in the eyes of others, they appear to be seeking attention, fame, or ulterior motives for personal gain. But he believes that their intentions are sincere.

The eyes don't lie.

After Gu Huanxi left, he tidied up and went across the street. He met Jiang Yong and told him everything about what Gu's couple had done. Finally, he said, "Now you know, taking their son as a disciple is not a loss at all, right Although the two of them are still in a humble position now, their vision and mind are extraordinary compared to ordinary people. The most admirable thing is this kindness and righteousness. How many people in the world can compare"

Jiang Yong listened, nodding slowly. "Have you ever asked why they would do this"

Dr. Jiao said, “I really asked him once about this during the time of fleeing famine. After all, he was in a difficult situation back then. Bringing his wife and children with him was much easier than leading an entire village. He said that he did this not out of kindness or compassion, but simply because he didn’t want to feel guilty. He sought peace of mind. Later, when they settled down in the capital city, he helped villagers find work. I asked him about this again, and he said it was just human connection. Because he had a bit of ability, he wanted to give back to others and accumulate good deeds for his own family. A household that accumulates goodness will surely have blessings; a household that accumulates evil will surely face retribution."

Jiang Yong listened very attentively, his expression revealing some emotion.

Doctor Jiao continued, "Later on, he proactively stepped forward to help the disaster victims. The court ignored them, so he took charge. Later, most of the food and silver allocated by the court were donated by his fellow students after he appealed to them at the academy. Those disaster relief measures were also written by him. These weren't his responsibilities, but he was at the forefront. Some people thought he was building up his reputation, but I inquired about it, and he was actually very low-key, just burying his head in work. He gave all the opportunities to shine to his classmates, and afterwards, he didn't take credit for himself. So I asked him again, why did he do this What do you think he said"

Jiang Yong guessed, "For a peaceful life"

Dr. Jiao sighed, "Well, his original words were, 'When the country is in peril, every individual has a responsibility.'"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yong's heart skipped a beat. After a moment, he sincerely praised, "To possess such insight and broad-mindedness is truly rare."

Dr. Jiao nodded in agreement, "So you can teach his son a bit about not being at a disadvantage and having integrity. In the future... there are no limits to what he can achieve."

Jiang Yong smiled and glanced at him, "Am I the kind of person who is so status-conscious"

Dr. Jiao stroked his beard and said, "More help is always good. With your temper, you might offend people. Otherwise, you wouldn't be hiding your identity in this remote village. Don't you want to spend the rest of your life here Don't you want to teach and educate others and achieve your ambitions"

Jiang Yong smiled wryly, "How could I not want to But how easy is it As long as you're in it, you can't help yourself. I devote myself to scholarship, but they wouldn't allow it..."

Who gave him the title of "Peach and Plum Abundant Throughout the World" As long as he could be brought into our ranks, within the scholar-officials' circle, we would gain prestige and power.

"Life is unpredictable, perhaps things will work out in the future."

"Let's talk about it later..." Unless the situation is settled, but the Emperor is still strong and vigorous. It will probably take another ten years or so to choose an heir.

The conversation between the two avoided mentioning Gu Xiaoyu, but Gu Xiaoyu clearly felt that after Dr. Jiao left, Mr. Li's attitude towards him changed. He became more strict, even doubling his homework assignments.

After he went back, he told Gu Huanxi about it and suspected that Dr. Jiao had said something that caused the change in Mr.

Gu Huanxi guessed a few points, and didn't hide it from him. After finishing speaking, she said again, "A strict teacher produces a high-achieving student. The more severe he is to you, the higher his expectations are, which is a good thing. But the premise is that you can bear that intensity. Otherwise, if you pull seedlings too early and overdo it, it will backfire and harm you..."

Gu Xiaoyu said, "Mother, please rest assured, son can cope."

"Really You can't force it, you know. Your father and I, although we hope you succeed, aren't in a hurry. We definitely don't want you to put all your energy into studying, and in doing so, ignore the other beautiful and interesting things in life. That would be a loss. And the regret left behind would be difficult to make up for your whole life." Gu Huanxi said earnestly, not treating him like a five-year-old child.

Gu Xiaoyu was deeply moved. She looked up at her mother with tender eyes and said, "Mother, son understands."

Then you…

"Don't worry, your son is really capable of handling it and he will also have extra energy to do other things. He doesn't feel wronged or hard-pressed at all, but rather enjoys it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Huan was delighted that he didn't sound forced at all. She patted his head and smiled, "That's good then, but don't tell your father about this, otherwise, seeing you with so much homework, he will definitely go to Mr. Jiang and argue."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. In his father's view, he was so young that homework shouldn't even be assigned. He should go home to eat, drink, play, and enjoy life. At least until he was twelve years old, his learning intensity could be increased, otherwise it would be exploiting his childhood and depriving him of his happiness.

Although he didn't agree with the idea, it didn't stop him from enjoying the happiness of his father's care. had settled down and each household had enough food to eat, the wheat harvest was truly meager. Therefore, even though they had land, they dared not plant it for fear of wasting the wheat seeds. They...
