Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Chapter 34: Quick Learner

Gu Zi looked at Lele in Su Shen's arms and smiled tenderly. She spoke softly, "Mr. Su, the noodles are ready. Please have some."

Su Shen nodded slightly and was about to put Lele on the sofa when he saw Lele reaching out her hands toward Gu Zi.

"Mommy!" Lele stared at Gu Zi with unwavering anticipation in her eyes.

"Give me the child," Gu Zi naturally took Lele from Su Shen's arms, her smile gentle.

Su Shen's gaze fell on Gu Zi's arm and hand that was holding Lele.

Su Shen's gaze fell on Gu Zi's arm and hand as she held Lele. She seemed to emit a radiant glow, with fair, rosy skin and slender, delicate fingers. Her hands didn't look at all like those of someone who would cook.

With Lele in Gu Zi's embrace, the little girl was ecstatic, calling out "Mommy" repeatedly.

Su Shen sat down at the table, and Gu Zi joined him, still holding Lele. She spoke softly, "Lele is very clever. She just learned to address people today, and now she can use it fluently."

Su Shen did not eat fast, nor did he make much noise. He looked much more refined than most people.

When he heard Gu Zi say that, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He looked at her with a hint of surprise. "Did you teach her?"

Gu Zi smiled and nodded. "Yes."

Su Shen simply glanced at Gu Zi meaningfully, didn't say anything more, and lowered his head to eat.

He finished his bowl of noodles quickly and even drank up all the soup.

Gu Zi liked it when people finished the food she made. It gave her a sense of satisfaction in knowing that her efforts were appreciated.

Gu Zi's voice was gentle as she asked, "There are some noodles left in the kitchen. Would you like another bowl?"

"I've good, thank you," Su Shen replied calmly, his tone as flat as an inanimate object. He continued, "You cook well, and you've taught Lele very effectively."

Although Su Shen had only spoken a few simple sentences, his eyes were locked onto Gu Zi without blinking.

Gu Zi felt uncomfortable under his intense gaze, and her ears turned slightly red. She replied, "I enjoy cooking, and Lele is intelligent. She learns quickly."

When Su Shen heard the words "learns quickly," he squinted his eyes ever so slightly.

He had heard from the people at the pig farm that precocious children start speaking at a few months old, while others start around a year and a bit.

However, Lele, who was now two years old, had only just started speaking.

Could it be that because no one had taught her to speak earlier, that's why she hadn't spoken until now?

Realizing this, Su Shen involuntarily clenched his hands under the table. He looked at Gu Zi with a serious expression and said, "In the future, I'll rely on you to take care of these three children."

Gu Zi looked at Su Shen's serious demeanor and couldn't help but smile. She responded, "Mr. Su, you're being too polite. I'm willing to be here, which means I'm prepared to take care of these three children. Besides, they are so well-behaved."

Su Bing and Su Li were already able to help with household chores, and they spent most of their time at school, so she didn't need to worry about them.

As for Lele, she was a very obedient child, tidying up herself and playing quietly. She had never seen such a well-behaved child before.

Gu Zi had different interests compared to most people of her time.

She enjoyed cooking, and in this era where everyone had to work outside, Su Shen didn't expect her to engage in manual labor.

He had plenty of money, so as long as she cooked, everything would be fine, making it a rather easy task.

Talking about work, flashes of memories crossed Gu Zi's mind.

If she remembered correctly, the original owner of this body dropped out of high school in order to marry her fiancé. She taught herself broadcasting and managed to secure a job as a radio announcer in the county town.

Broadcasters had to go through layers of screening. Not only did they have to be good-looking, but they also had to have a good voice. Anyway, there were very few people who could be selected to be a broadcaster.

No matter which era it was, physical attractiveness was always an advantage.

The original owner was not only beautiful but also had excellent Mandarin and even fluent English. She outperformed all other candidates, and with her capabilities, she easily landed the job as a broadcaster.

There were very few broadcasters in the county. Being able to become one essentially meant becoming a government employee. The monthly salary of 50 yuan was considered outstanding in the entire county.

Later, when Lin Miao, the real daughter of the Gu family reconnected with the Gus, the original owner's life became somewhat aimless. She neglected her job, even hiring others to take her shifts.

In this era, jobs could be bought and sold, and since she was planning to stay in the village, she wouldn't have time to go to the city. It made more sense to sell her job.

This way, she could make some money, which she could use for her university tuition and living expenses when she went back to university.
