Chapter 161 The Return Journey
As they had been married for many years, how could Lu Yuan not understand the meaning of his look? His cheeks flushed, and he silently reached out and pinched the man's waist.
Xiao Li is a tough guy. When we first met, he pinched my waist, but he didn't move and it made me angry.
Now that so many years have passed, his body is tense and not necessarily as hard as it was back then, but there is still no soft flesh, so it is definitely not easy to pinch.
Not to mention that he has been working every day in recent years, not to mention that when he is not working, he will exercise in the space, and occasionally take his husband to do some negative distance exercises. His figure is basically the same as before.
Lu Yuan glared at him angrily, unable to understand why she never learned her lesson. Every time she was angry and tried to pinch him, she never succeeded, and it made her so angry that she was fuming. But the next time she was angry, she still couldn't help but pinch him.
Seeing that her husband was so angry that he was gritting his teeth, she made an extremely exaggerated expression of being pinched and hurt, then leaned over and sighed sadly in his ear, "Yuan'er, how can you be so cruel? You actually used such a heavy hand, aren't you afraid of hurting your husband?"
After all, he was not thick-skinned enough. Lu Yuan snorted at him and stopped looking at him.
The couple is very affectionate with each other, and they don't need to worry about feeding their children. With little Ruixue, who is very active in eating, even the picky eater little Ruijing can always eat half a bowl of rice more. Little Jingnian is not very picky about food, but he doesn't eat much either.
Moreover, Xiao Ruixue probably thought that an older brother should take care of his younger brother. Since Xiao Jingnian called him "brother", he had the obligation and responsibility to take care of Xiao Jingnian. Therefore, when Xiao Jingnian ate less, he was more anxious than anyone else and always asked Xiao Jingnian to eat more.
With him around, they don't have to worry about little Jingnian going hungry.
Yu Qingshan just came to eat for free, and left on his own after eating.
For a period of time afterwards, the family of five lived like this almost every day, and they did not start preparing to return to Beijing until the beginning of spring.
At the same time, Liangzhou, which had not seen a drop of rain for nearly a year, finally welcomed the long-awaited spring rain.
During the day, the three little guys followed Yu Qingshan out. Xiao Li had been giving some constructive suggestions from the rear, and occasionally went wherever they were needed when there was a shortage of manpower. Now he finally had some free time.
Compared with his busyness, Lu Yuan was extremely free from the beginning.
Originally, he had been taking care of the little ones, but they followed Yu Qingshan to work on disaster relief and other matters during the day. He only had more time to spend with the children at night, so he gradually became free during the day.
He always felt that he was destined to be a hard-working person and could not have a moment of leisure.
Whenever he was busy, he always thought about stopping work completely one day and taking a break, but when that day really came, he felt uncomfortable all over again.
Seeing that he was not adapting well, Xiao Li found him something to do after he rested for three or four days: teaching some children to read and write.
Of course, it is just the most basic literacy, some simple arithmetic and possible laws.
Most of the children who came were homeless and poor people, some of whom were even beggars. They were only properly arranged after Yu Qingshan came to Liangzhou City.
Probably because they lost their homes at a young age, these children worked very hard when they knew someone was willing to teach them to read and write.
Because of their efforts, Lu Yuan started out by just trying to teach them, but later on he wanted to teach them as if they were his own children.
Sincerity for sincerity, hard work for true knowledge. With the concerted efforts of both sides, these children have learned a lot of words in less than half a year. Although they write them carelessly, they are still recognizable.
There were still few literate people in this era, and most of the scholars were aloof and unwilling to lower themselves to get involved in the world of money. Therefore, when there was really no one else available, Xiao Li even used these children.
Of course, they were not working in vain, and there was no physical work. They were just asked to record something with pen and ink.
Lu Yuan watched those children grow from being illiterate to becoming independent little adults, and she felt very proud.
Perhaps it was because he was a father. Seeing that these children were capable of supporting a family at such a young age, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
He could not do anything, nor could he ask his husband to pay for his kindness which might not be of any use. He also did not dare to appear too kind in such a turbulent time. The only thing he could do to help those children was to teach them as best he could.
For this reason, Lu Yuan only told the children about this after the date of departure was confirmed, and gradually reduced the time for teaching.
Today was his last day of teaching. He still hadn't shown up by the time he usually got home, so Xiao Li went out with an umbrella to pick him up at the temporary school.
As luck would have it, when he arrived, he heard a little brat brazenly say: "Mr. Lu, when I pass the exam and become a scholar, I will marry you, then."
"Sir, I'm already married." Since the child who was speaking was only eight or nine years old, Lu Yuan didn't get angry. Instead, she looked at him with amusement, "Besides, sir, there's a big age gap between you and me. By the time you grow up, you'll be old.
Besides, your husband is a very good man. It is because of him that I can come here to teach you how to read and write."
Not to mention these, even the fact that I was able to read and write in the beginning was because my husband was willing to teach me. He kept teaching me many things that I didn't understand, and also told me how to deal with things when I encountered them...
It can be said that without her husband's teachings, she would not be who she is today. In her heart, her husband is the best and best person, irreplaceable by anyone else.
Lu Yuan is not a high-profile person, and what he can say is already the limit.
The child was disappointed when he heard this. When he opened his mouth to say something else, a very deliberate cough suddenly came from outside the door.
Almost at the moment the sound was heard, everyone in the room looked outside and saw a handsome man with one fist to his mouth and the other hand behind his back.
The man was wearing a black robe, his black hair was tied up with a crown, revealing his handsome features.
This is Liangzhou City. When the year is good, there will occasionally be young masters and scholars walking around on weekdays. They dare not get close to look, but they have secretly watched from afar.
But in their impression, no matter those richly dressed young masters or those refined scholars, none of them looked as handsome as this man.
Although they are still young, they still know the basic difference between beauty and ugliness. Just like their teacher, he is simply the most handsome guy in their eyes. All the girls and boys in the school like him very much.
However, most children are still reserved, so even if they like Lu Yuan in their hearts, they are embarrassed to say it out loud. The only exception is the child who just said shamelessly that he wanted to marry him.
Seeing that the children were all looking at him, Xiao Li put down his hand and looked at Lu Yuan tenderly, "Are you done?"
Lu Yuan didn't expect him to appear suddenly, especially she didn't know whether he had heard what she just said. Her face slowly turned pink.
After nodding hurriedly, he looked at his students. Although he felt a little embarrassed and ashamed, he couldn't help but introduce his husband to them.
"This is your husband. Okay, it's time for you to go home. You should also go and make dinner early." Lu Yuan habitually worried about these things. "No matter how hard you try, you must take good care of yourself. Only when you are healthy can you do what you want and have a chance of success. Do you understand?"
He was responded by the children's uneven but remarkably firm voices.
"Sir, we will!"
"We've got it in mind, sir. Wait for us to go to the capital to find you, and we'll buy you some meat then."
“And delicious cakes!”
……
Among the many voices, only one voice stood out, "Sir, if your husband treats you badly, you should divorce him when I grow up, and then marry me!"
Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched, and she looked at Xiao Li almost subconsciously. Seeing the curve of his mouth that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
As someone who already has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, I'm afraid this is just an excuse to torture himself. Really...
