Chapter 162 A small tree will not grow straight unless it is cultivated

The whole village is immersed in the festive excitement of the New Year.

However, happy times are always short.

Especially for kids who are about to start school...

At this time, Xiao Shitou was doing his homework with tears in his eyes.

Sitting next to her was Guangxin, who was also crying sadly.

Yixuan, Yinuo and a few other freshmen glanced cautiously to their side, looking at Gu Mingyue with a feather duster in hand and a stern look on their faces.

They all shrank their necks at the same time, their faces full of sympathy and relief. Fortunately, they finished their homework. The aunt who beat people was too scary.

As the saying goes, if a child is quiet, he must be acting like a monster.

Gu Mingyue lives a leisurely and comfortable life every day and always adopts a laissez-faire policy towards Xiao Shitou.

Since she didn't require good grades, she had long forgotten about the winter vacation homework.

She didn't even think about it, let alone the little ones who had fun during the New Year.

I overheard Guangxin and Xiao Shitou discussing how to prevent their winter vacation homework from accidentally falling into the toilet or the stove.

At that time, she thought that the two children were really brave. As former poor students, they had always dared to think but not to do.

The other kid, however, came from behind and was ready to implement his plan.

To be honest, at that moment, besides being shocked, I felt more self-reflection.

She doesn't care about Xiao Shitou's grades, she thinks as long as he lives happily, that's enough.

But I also don't want to raise a child who is naughty and a habitual liar.

Some things can be let go, but matters of principle must not be compromised.

It’s okay to have bad grades, but you must have a good attitude.

She didn't really use any force, but just gently spanked them twice on the buttocks.

A person who never gets angry suddenly got angry, which made the two children scared and nervous, and subconsciously felt their buttocks hurt a lot.

Supervise the two people to finish writing a book and let them take a break.

In the middle, Gu Mingyue asked seriously, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Guangxin and Xiao Shitou said in unison, "No homework."

"Wrong." Gu Mingyue knocked hard on the table with a feather duster in her hand. "Forgetting to do homework is not a big deal. Auntie is angry because you didn't think about solving the mistakes, but covered them up. You even tried to destroy the evidence and lost your winter vacation homework. Am I right?"

The two children widened their eyes, obviously surprised how Gu Mingyue knew about their plan.

"Today, Auntie will tell you something, which is 'If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself'. It means that if you don't want others to know what you've done, then first of all, don't do it. Otherwise, no matter how bad you do it, you'll definitely be discovered. You two should be thankful that your homework is still here, otherwise, you wouldn't just be spanked twice, you'd be spanked for three days and three nights."

Xiao Shitou and Guangxin were so scared that they quickly covered their buttocks.

Seeing that the two were really scared, Gu Mingyue said seriously, "Auntie can accept that you have poor grades, don't like to study, and are even naughty. That's all fine. But you can't be sneaky or cunning, and you can't lie to others, especially to your relatives. Do you understand?"

The two nodded obediently.

Little Stone bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Aunt, it's my fault. I didn't want to do my homework, so I asked Guangxin to help me with some advice. I won't do it again next time."

Guangxin quickly said, "No, it was me who forgot to do my homework, so I planned to do something bad with Xiao Shitou. Auntie, I also know I was wrong."

Gu Mingyue snorted, "You two are quite loyal. Considering that this is your first offense, I will forgive you this time and not repeat it next time. Otherwise, I will make your butts burst."

After giving the two naughty kids a severe lesson, I successfully taught them how to write the word "fear".

In the words of my sister-in-law, a young tree will not grow straight if it is not pruned.

Just because children are small doesn't mean they are ignorant. On the contrary, due to their innocent nature, they can more easily distinguish between good and evil and know who spoils them more.

If children at home are not taught to be afraid, they will become more and more lawless, and sooner or later they will suffer a great loss.

The sister-in-law is an experienced person, so Gu Mingyue understands the principle of listening to others' advice and eating enough.

From the day he hit the stone, I cut off all snacks and candies for him, and told him that when he behaved well, he would be rewarded appropriately.

Until the night before school started, the two people who had been beaten were still furiously writing their homework.

The miserable scene of wiping tears while writing makes people feel both sad and funny.

The next day, Xiao Shitou and Guangxin's eyes were swollen like walnuts.

When Guangsheng saw this, he sighed with deep sympathy, "Ah, this seems familiar..."

Liu Caixia couldn't help but mock him, "How dare you bring that up? I wonder who gets beaten up before every school term. I change feather dusters so frequently at home, all thanks to you, the great contributor."

Xiao Shitou and Guangxin glanced at Guangsheng's butt secretly. He was really resistant to being beaten!

The temperature is warming up, winter is gone and spring is coming.

There hasn't been any rain since the beginning of spring, but people are no longer as panicked as before.

Every day, he was busy with farm work in an orderly manner and continued to go up the mountain to collect wool.

Of course, another point is that a tofu workshop was built in the village.

Everyone's attention was drawn and their worries about the unknown were suppressed.

When villagers want to eat tofu, they either buy it from the peddlers walking around the streets, or they make it together after discussion.

Relatively speaking, they are also experienced.

But the reason for building the workshop is not entirely to supply the villagers.

The main purpose is to sell soy products to supply and marketing cooperatives and canteens of major factories to increase income or exchange materials.

Therefore, after discussion, the village committee decided to make not only tofu, but also bean curd skin, bean curd sticks and dried tofu.

Making tofu alone requires a lot of physical effort, as you have to push the mill, grind, and process it constantly, not to mention doing other things. It requires patience and craftsmanship.

The reason why Gu Mingyue dared to take on such a big responsibility was that she relied on the development of short videos in later generations and the relevant archives in her space.

Although the steps are very precise, when it comes to actual operation, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error.

The strength of picking up the bean curd skin, the technique of drying the bean curd sheets, and the texture of the tofu.

You don't know until you try. Only after you try will you understand what "paper talk" means.

For example, making tofu looks simple, but when you really start doing it, it really tests your skills.

You have to boil the ground soy milk first. The key point is the process of making tofu with brine.

If you add it too early or too much, the tofu will become old, rough and taste bad.

If you add less, the tofu will be tender and easy to break down, not clumping.

The workshop conducted many experiments, but was unable to control the quantity at one point.

It’s okay if they eat it themselves, but if they want to gain a foothold in the supply and marketing cooperative, the quality must be up to standard.

Well, try again today.

The villagers who were watching held their breath, as if even a breath could have consequences.

Gu Mingyue guessed that they probably didn't want to eat tofu anymore. They had been eating failed products for three consecutive days.

No matter whether it is tender, old, or broken into pieces... In Gu Laoliu's crude words, urine tastes like soy milk. God knows how many villagers nodded in agreement after he said this.

Watch the soy milk turn into tofu pudding, scoop it into a wooden box covered with white cloth, cover it with a lid, and press it with stones.

After waiting for nearly half an hour and much anticipation, I opened the lid and it was finally done.

They knew that such success meant that the village would have an additional source of income.

The increase in work points meant that more food could be exchanged for it, which was a blessing from heaven, and everyone was smiling.
