Chapter 285 Anger
As night fell, Gao De was so excited that he could hardly contain himself and couldn't wait to tell Ling Juan about the children's talents.
However, Ling Juan seemed exceptionally calm and composed, with a faint smile on his face: "I know all this. I took great pains to find those books for the children to study."
In fact, Ling Juan had communicated with Gao De before, but soon realized that there were huge differences in their views. Due to trivial matters, she was too lazy to argue with him.
Upon seeing this, Gao De hurriedly approached Ling Juan like a dog, pinching her shoulders and pounding her legs, his words showing his flattery and fawning attitude: "Madam, it was all my fault before. I was short-sighted and narrow-minded. I was totally wrong!"
"Oh? Really? Then what happened today that made your attitude change so quickly?"
Gao De hurriedly told Ling Juan everything that happened today. After listening, Ling Juan's eyes moved slightly, and he thought to himself: "This person is indeed a useful talent. I will go and test him tomorrow to see if he is worthy of being entrusted with an important task. After all, the Lord once said that women can also hold up half the sky."
Ling Juan had made up his mind, and his face remained calm. He just nodded slightly: "So that's how it is. My husband, you are now able to see the big picture from the small details. You have made great progress."
Ling Juan was generous with his praise. Gao De felt a little ashamed and thought he had neglected the family affairs. He quickly changed the subject: "Madam, you have worked so hard these years! The children have grown up now. I am afraid that this yard will not be able to accommodate so many people in the future. When they get married, should we move somewhere else?"
Lingjuan turned over and said firmly, "No, I have already prepared a property for them. When they get married, they can move out and live on their own. As for the house over there, you have to keep an eye on it and make sure it is not built too extravagantly."
Gao De nodded quickly and said, "I know. The eldest son's house is almost finished. But the second and third sons are still young. Can we consider their houses a few years later?"
The family is not short of money, but he is worried that the children will have their own ideas in the future, so it is better to listen to their opinions first.
Lingjuan thought about it and felt that what Gao De said made sense: "Yes, then let's keep those two plots of land to grow some vegetables. But, what's wrong with Gao Xing lately? Which girl does he like?"
The child was already fifteen or sixteen years old. Young boys and girls of this age were just beginning to fall in love and were in the budding stage of youth. As a mother, Ling Juan naturally noticed this. However, she found that her child did not seem to be interested in the girls in the nearby alleys, which made her feel a little strange and curious. So, she began to pay attention to Gao Xing's behavior.
"I think that brat seems to like Han Su! He's quite special to her, following her around all day long, but she doesn't seem to have any interest in him. Maybe it's because she's too young to understand. But there's no need to rush this matter, just let it happen naturally."
After listening to him, Lingjuan agreed: "Yes, if the two of them can get together, it is actually a good thing. After all, everyone knows each other well, which is much better than finding a stranger's home."
At this point, Ling Juan suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of which, Han Xin is now the general of the Western Frontier of our Daqian! Many people in the court think that with his merits, he can be made a marquis and appointed as a prime minister. But for some reason, His Majesty has not rewarded Han Xin. I wonder if he has other concerns?"
Gao De frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "Alas, I am not sure. Perhaps Your Majesty needs to consider many factors comprehensively."
At this time, Gao De thought of his own child again and couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, my child is really not worthy of the Han family. No matter how I look at him, he is stupid. It's really worrying."
No matter from which aspect, there is indeed a certain gap between Gao Xing and Han Su. Hearing her husband belittling her child like this, Ling Juan angrily patted her husband's shoulder and scolded: "How can you say this about your own son!"
"How can you say he is unworthy? Your son is a leader among the many students in Xianyang City and is quite famous. Why do you want to belittle him like this?"
When Gao De heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, madam, please calm down. I was just saying it casually. In my heart, there is no one better than you in the world." After saying that, he did not forget to gently pat her hand to comfort her.
Ling Juan rolled her eyes at the man and said unhappily, "Hmph, stop talking nonsense here and go to bed!" After that, she turned around and ignored him. Seeing this, Gao De had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and went to bed obediently.
Gongshu Yuan has been busy with work recently, often working overtime until late at night. On this day, he was busy in the office with his colleagues again. After Qin Xingfu finished his official business, he went downstairs to check on the situation and found that they were still working late at night. He noticed that several people had dark blue eyes, and they were obviously very tired.
Qin Xingfu walked to the door and knocked gently. When Gongshu Yuan heard the knock, he quickly put down the tools in his hand and stood up. He looked at Qin Xingfu in surprise and asked, "Sir, why are you here?"
Qin Xingfu said with a serious face: "It's already very late. I heard today that we will continue to be busy tomorrow. Now everyone should go and rest. Health is the most important thing. Other things can be put aside for now."
When the people in the mechanical group heard Qin Xingfu's words, they all looked at each other, but no one left. They all knew the importance of their work and were unwilling to give up easily.
Qin Xingfu was a little unhappy when he saw that no one was making any move. He frowned and emphasized again: "Why? Are my words no longer effective?"
Gongshu Yuan understood that Qin Xingfu was worried about their health, so he winked at Gongshu Yuan, signaling everyone to follow Qin Xingfu's arrangements. In the end, they decided to take a rest first, after all, health is the capital of revolution.
"We said at the beginning that health comes first. Only with a healthy body can you work efficiently. You should take a few days off after working overtime. Gongshu Yuan, close the door and everyone go to rest!"
Seeing that she was really angry, everyone bowed obediently and went back to the dormitory and home. Qin Xingfu originally wanted to say something to Gongshu Yuan, but seeing that he also looked tired and had an untidy beard, he had to suppress his temper and took his hand to go back to rest.
