Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Chapter 255 Love rivals meet

After leaving Changyi County, they were about to reach home, and Wu Xingwang and his son could not hide their excitement.

Su Yunzhi was ready for the bumpy ride.

After waiting for a long time, he clearly felt that the carriage was running very smoothly. He opened the window and looked out with some curiosity, and saw the carriage running on the flat and wide official road.

"Uncle Wu, have you rebuilt this road?"

"That's right. During the slack season, the city lord summoned the young men from the villages below to not only repair the official road, but also widen and level it."

Wu Xingwang could not hide his pride in his tone. The official road from Cangwu County to Changyi County was full of potholes and in tatters. Only their road in Longtan was flat and wide.

This made Su Yunzhi even more curious, "How did you do it?"

Wu Xingwang shook his head but smiled without saying anything. Wu Yuan didn't want to stab him in the heart, so he said, "Brother Su, you'll know when you get to Longtan."

Unafraid of the cold wind blowing outside the window, Su Yunzhi looked at the tall city wall gradually appearing in front of him, and his heart was surging, unable to calm down for a long time.

What kind of courage allowed them to build an impregnable city in just half a year?

The carriage stopped at the city gate.

Wu Xingwang walked up to Yun Mo, smiled frivolously and pointed at the carriage, "Second Master Yun, look who I brought with me?"

Turning his gaze away from the city wall, Su Yunzhi got off the carriage.

Yun Mo widened his eyes and looked at Su Yunzhi, whose figure was even thinner than when he fled from famine.

Is this a surprise brought to him by Wu Xingwang? What is Su Yunzhi doing in Longtan?

Despite many questions in his mind, Yun Mo remained calm.

The fatigue from days of traveling was fully reflected in Su Yunzhi's black coarse cotton coat. The clothes were full of wrinkles, but even his ordinary clothes could not hide his gentle and distant temperament.

Su Yunzhi nodded slightly to Yun Mo. He still couldn't let go of the hatred of having his wife taken away from him.

When he saw the baby in Yun Mo's arms, a gentle light suddenly emanated from his eyes. This is Anan's child!

Su Yun subconsciously walked up to Yun Mo and said, "Long time no see, Brother Yun, how are you?"

Yun Mo smiled like a winner, "As you can see, I'm doing well."

Yun Shijiu thought Su Yunzhi was reaching out to her, so she twisted restlessly in Yun Mo's arms and opened her little hands to be hugged by Su Yunzhi.

Su Yunzhi was stunned for a moment and looked at Yun Mo eagerly.

"Can I hold her?"

Although a six-month-old baby is not heavy, Yun Mo's arms were already sore after holding him for the whole morning. When he heard Su Yunzhi wanted to hold him, he hurriedly said, "Of course."

Then he stuffed Yun Shijiu into Su Yunzhi's arms.

Su Yunzhi took the child with stiff hands and hugged her, not daring to move, for fear of dropping her.

When he smelled the unique milky fragrance of the baby, a warm feeling ran through his heart. This was the child that Anan gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy.

Yun Shijiu giggled and reached out to pat Su Yunzhi's face, mumbling something inaudible, with crystal saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth and onto Su's clothes.

Su Yunzhi hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her clothes. He caught a glimpse of the wet clothes on Yun Mo's chest and looked away in disgust.

"What's the child's name?" Su Yunzhi was the first to break the silence.

Yun Mo took in his expression and said with a nonchalant look, "Yun Nineteen."

Nineteen, this name sounds very Yun family-like, just like those secret guards. Isn’t it too hasty to give a soft and tender girl this name?

"What's your full name?" Su Yunzhi asked.

"The full name, Yun Fangting, was chosen by An Nan, and the nickname, Nineteen, was chosen by me." Yun Mo said proudly.

Seeing that all the carriages had entered the city, Yun Mo reached out to pick up Yun Shijiu.

"Nineteen, let's go back, it's time to eat."

Yun Shijiu retracted her hands, turned away and ignored him. Su Yunzhi said with a smile, "She likes me, so let me hold her for a while longer."

"It's windy outside, let's go in first." Yun Mo said.

Lin Yinan didn't allow him to carry Yun Shijiu outside for too long. Now it had exceeded the stipulated time, and Yun Mo didn't dare to make Lin Yinan angry.

After entering the city, I saw Lin Yinan walking lightly towards the city gate.

After being caught, Yun Mo thought to himself that it was bad.

Su Yunzhi hugged Yun Shijiu and looked at Lin Yinan with tenderness. He stared at her straight, and the deep affection in his eyes surged like the sea.

After not seeing An Nan for a long time, who had given birth to a child, looked much rounder and in good spirits. It seemed that she was living a good life. Su Yunzhi felt a little depressed.

"Su Yunzhi, long time no see! Welcome to Longtan." Lin Yinan stepped forward and greeted him gracefully.

Su Yunzhi came back to his senses, smiled at her, and said softly, "Anan, long time no see!"

When Yun Shijiu saw his mother coming, he stretched out his little hands desperately asking her to hold him.

Lin Yinan took her and smelled a familiar scent. Yun Shijiu kept nodding his head into her arms regardless of the occasion.

Seeing this, Su Yunzhi took a few steps back and silently turned his face away.

Yun Mo stood in front of Lin Yinan and said, "Nineteen is hungry. You go back and feed her. I'll take Brother Su to take care of her."

With a stranger around, Lin Yinan felt a little embarrassed by Yun Shijiu's advances.

"Su Yunzhi, I'll go ahead and let Yun Mo take you to where Master Dao and the others are staying. I'll come back to welcome you back."

"Okay." Su Yunzhi said.

Seeing him staring blankly at the backs of Anan and her daughter leaving, a hint of displeasure flashed in Yun Mo's eyes.

"Brother Su, please follow me."

Yun Mo brought him to the classroom where Master Dao and Zhou Linhou were taking classes. It was not yet time for the get out of class to end.

"Wait here for a moment. Master Dao and the others are about to finish their get out of class. I have something else to take care of. Excuse me."

Su Yunzhi kept smiling and bowed to him, "Brother Yun, go and do what you want. I can wait for you."

Yun Mo nodded, turned around and strode away.

He didn't want to stay with this man who was thinking about his wife for a moment, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and hit him.

Su looked at the small school and sat down on a chair in the corridor. The school was in the shape of a U with an open space in the middle for children to play.

Opposite him are two classrooms with excellent lighting, and the rooms behind him should be the teacher's living rooms.

The school currently only has two classes, the small class is for young children who have no one to take care of them, and the large class is for older students like Lin Yian and Lu Changqing.

The sound of reading aloud was heard from inside. Su Yunzhi fell into deep thought and had the illusion that he was in another world.

It was time to end the get out of class and an old man in charge of cleaning came over and rang the bell.

When the bell rang, the reading in the classroom stopped.

What followed was the noisy voices of the students. The door of one of the classrooms opened, and the children ran desperately towards the free world outside like prisoners who had been released after serving their sentences.

"Watch your step and don't fall!" the young teacher reminded patiently.

At this time, the door of another classroom also opened, and Lin Yian, Lin Yibai and Lu Changqing were the first to rush out of the classroom.

"Brother Yunzhi, why are you here?"

When Lin Yian came out, he saw Su Yunzhi sitting in the corridor opposite, his eyes full of joy.
