Chapter 242: Study Together (1)

She did not like that home and she would never want to go back for the rest of her life.

She understood what her father said just now. Her mother divorced and had to bring her along, and her grandmother had so many sons and grandchildren at home. Her aunts would dislike her and her mother after some time.

But at least for now, Grandmother and her uncles were still very good to them.

Living in the Gu family these days, she felt that even if the Gu family would dislike her in the future and make her do a lot of work, at least they loved her. They would not torture her and her mother.

In a few years, she would grow up and could live with her mother to support themselves. She would not rely on the Gu family in the future.

She just hoped that in the next few years, the Gu family would be willing to keep them here. She was willing to do any work to be filial to her grandparents. It would be much better than staying at the Li family.

Gu Fangting touched her new padded jacket. This padded jacket was the first new jacket she received. It was made by her cousin.

When she was in the Li family, her father was even better to some cousins than to her. When he got some cloth, all were used by his father to make clothes for the cousins.

Gu Yunshuang knew that this girl had a hatred for the Li family in her heart, and she had to guide her in the future. She said gently, “Don’t worry, Mother will never be so stupid. We will never go back to that family ever again.”

Gu Fangting was relieved and sat beside Gu Yunshuang without speaking.

Gu Qingyao was cooking at the side and looked at Gu Fangting.

After a while, Gu Fangting got up and came to Gu Qingyao, “Cousin, I’ll help you.”

Gu Qingyao thought that this little cousin was very smart, but after staying in the Li family for a long time, she had no sense of security. In the Gu family, she could be influenced positively here.

“Go and cut the radish. Cut it into slices. Can you do this?”

“Yes!” Gu Fangting nodded, “I used to do it often.”

She then washed the radishes, peeled and sliced them.

She looked very skilled. She must have been doing that very often in the Li family.

It was snowing again after their lunch. The weather here was still very cold even after the Chinese New Year.

The heavy snow covered the ground. In the afternoon, Gu Qingyao had nothing to do, so she went to the cowshed to meet the elderly.

This time, Gu Qingyao brought some potatoes, two large white radishes, and one Chinese cabbage.

She usually brought them bit by bit. If there were too many, they would easily attract the attention of others.

The weather was very cold, and the elderly gathered in the house, with the stove burning nearby. Everyone gathered to chat.

Zhou Bingsheng waved his brush pen on the paper by the side. The elderly here were all experts, scholars, artists. They gathered together and had common topics to talk about.

Everyone gathered to admire.

“Teacher!” Gu Qingyao came in and called out sweetly.

Zhou Bingsheng was getting older and liked a little girl like her. She felt like his granddaughter. He had been here for nine years and watched this girl grow up.

“Yao Yao, come here. How’s this painting?”

Seeing his little apprentice, Zhou Bingsheng smiled and his eyes narrowed.

Gu Qingyao handed the basket to Ke Min and walked over to look at her teacher’s painting.

It was still a landscape painting. Magnificent, with a distant artistic conception, which was the style of her teacher.
