Chapter 122 End of the story He was walking his dog, and beside him...

Shortly after Yang Yang and Xiao Shitou were born, Yu Qinglong thought two children would be enough. He and Fang Shu would raise them well, showering them with love and letting them experience the joy of watching these two little lives grow up under his lap.

As for the future life as a couple, it is better to be as restrained as possible to avoid "winning the lottery" again, which would be troublesome.

So for a few months, the two of them were living off each other. Eventually, it became too much, so they made a new decision: first, have sex outside, and then fully connect. This way, it would be much easier to control.

At first, Fang Shu disagreed, thinking of the pain Yu Qinglong had endured in childbirth. But Yu Qinglong felt they couldn't truly connect physically and spiritually, which always irritated him, so he told Fang Shu to stop worrying.

Fortunately, this method worked. After trying it for a few months, Fang Shu realized that Yu Qinglong hadn't gotten pregnant again, and she finally felt relieved. From then on, the two of them continued to use this method to support their married life.

That day, after another intimate moment, Yu Qinglong lay on the kang, letting Fang Shu clean him. He rested his head on Fang Shu's arm and said to him, "Shoucheng, I'm going back to Xiaxi Village in a couple of days. Dad's birthday is coming up, and I want to go back and see him."

Fang Shu said, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to go in two days."

The closer it gets to the end of the year, the more things there are to do at the government office. It takes at least three days to go back and forth, which is really difficult.

Yu Qinglong said, "I know you can't go, so this time I plan to go with Shuang'er. His servants will escort us there, and I'll be back in a few days. But this way, you and your parents will have to take care of Yangyang and Xiao Shitou at night."

Fang Shu said, "That's fine. They're so well behaved and easy to take care of."

Yu Qinglong was silent for a moment: "Are you serious?"

It’s not that he doesn’t speak up for his own children, it’s just that the eldest and second oldest children are becoming more and more unruly, a bit like little devils.

The two brothers were already crawling smoothly when they were just eight months old, and there was no sign of their premature birth at all. Then, if they were not supervised, they would crawl everywhere, rummage through toy baskets, rummage through drawers, open cabinet doors, and take things out.

I folded my clothes at night, and when I opened my eyes the next day, they were scattered all over the kang. I had no idea when they were taken out. A complete toy set might be missing a piece at any time.

One day, Yu Qinglong went to the kitchen while the two brothers were sleeping. When he took a spoon to scoop some rice soup, he came back and found that one of the children was missing!

He was so scared that he turned around and saw that the kid had actually climbed into the closet and wet all the clothes in the closet. He was sitting there patting himself for fun.

That was the first time he spanked Little Stone's butt harder. He felt bad afterward, but he was also really scared to death.

Little Stone is a boy. The flower mark on his forehead is really eye-catching. If someone steals it, he will go crazy.

Fang Shu touched his nose guiltily: "That's still relatively well-behaved. I heard that the grandson of Mr. Wang's family in the east of the city is still riding a pig around the streets."

Yu Qinglong said, "Stop mentioning Mr. Wang. Whenever I mention them, you bring up Mr. Wang's grandson, but I've never even seen a trace of this grandson. And why did I hear there's no such family in the east of the city?"

Fang Shu: “…”

Yu Qinglong looked at the overly young magistrate suspiciously: "Don't tell me you're kidding me."

Fang Shu immediately crawled into the bed and kissed Yu Qinglong: "Long'er, do you still have the strength? How about we..."

"Fang Shoucheng, don't even think about getting away with this!"

"Well, I wouldn't dare to do that. Actually, there is such a family, but..."

"Only what?"

"It's just that they moved away in the first half of the year. And that Wang family grandson is already seven years old. Hey, hey, hey, Long'er, don't be upset. Your husband won't spoil the children anymore."

"Then you have to keep your word. I know you love them, but you can't always give in to them. What kind of father is this? They messed up the diapers you folded, and then you refold them and let them mess up again. Then they will think that doing so is right and will act even more mischievous."

"I was wrong," Fang Shu said. "I won't listen to them next time."

"That's more like it. If you dare to spoil them again, I'll take them back to my father's house to celebrate the New Year."

"Then take me with you."

Yu Qinglong: = =…

Fang Shu came up again and said, "Okay, don't be angry. They are still so young. It's okay to spoil them a little. You can teach them slowly when they grow up."

Yu Qinglong was about to say that Xiaocai should be disciplined more strictly, as it would be too late to teach him when he grows up. But before he could finish his words, Fang Shu began to dawdle again.

Sometimes it's even more unbearable when an honest person turns bad.

Yu Qinglong was so angry that he bit Fang Shu's shoulder, and then he heard the other party's low, muffled laughter.

asshole!

Later, it was late at night and Yu Qinglong was exhausted and too lazy to argue anymore.

He fell asleep, and Fang Shu peeked at the two little ones who were sleeping more soundly inside.

What to do? They are getting cuter and cuter, and both of them have eyes like Yu Qinglong. He always feels soft-hearted when he sees them, and he really can't be strict with them at all. Especially the youngest son, who sits there like a little ball, holding it in his mouth for fear of it melting, or holding it in his palm for fear of it freezing. How can he bear to say a harsh word to him?

Two days later, Yu Qinglong rushed to Xiaxi Village, filled with worry. Before leaving, he repeatedly warned Fang Shu, "Don't spoil them too much. You can take them out to play, but if they do something wrong, you must correct them."

Fang Shu said: "Don't worry, I will listen to you."

Yu Qinglong thought to himself that I would never trust you, so he told Fang Wu about it. Fang Wu smiled and said, "Okay, mother will help you watch it."

Fortunately, although my mother-in-law loves her children, she is principled and will not spoil them blindly.

Yu Qinglong got on the car with a lot of bags, the wheels rolled, and the horses set off on the road on the snow.

He was worried on the way and said to Qin Yushuang, "I should take them with me."

Qin Yushuang said, "It's so cold, it must be hard to take them so far. Besides, it's only a few days, you'll be back soon."

Yu Qinglong complained, "You have no idea how much Fang Shu dotes on them. One day, he was on his day off and I went out to buy some things. When I came back, I smelled duck shit as soon as I entered the house. Little Stone wanted a duck, but he actually let him play with it in the house."

"How can I play with the duck? The little stone is still small and I can't let him touch it. What if he pinches it?"

"Yes, so Fang Shu let Xiao Shitou sit on his feet, and when the duck came over, he would lift his feet high so that he couldn't touch it."

"Pfft!" Qin Yushuang felt a little sad after hearing this, but he could understand. "Little Stone is a boy after all. Besides, he looks so pitiful. My heart softens every time I see him. I want to pick the stars in the sky for him. I can't bear to see him cry, not to mention that Shoucheng is their father."

"So you see, which of my friends and family around here doesn't spoil them? If this continues, I'm afraid they'll turn against me before they grow up."

"Then let's build a small house and put up a few more tiles for them to remove."

Yu Qinglong: “…” I can’t talk about this anymore.

Forget it, just leave it to fate!

The carriage arrived at Xiaxi Village at dusk.

Yu Qinglong hadn't sent anyone to deliver a message in advance, so his family was unaware of his arrival. In winter, the door was tightly shut, and a cotton curtain was hung. Yu Qinglong knocked hard on the door. "Father! Dad! Are you home?"

Yu Qingjia came out first: "Little brother? Why did you come back so suddenly? And Shuang'er, come quickly, it's cold outside, let's talk inside."

Yu Qinglong signaled the Qin family's servants to park the car in the yard, then said, "Brother, Dad's birthday is coming up in a couple of days, and I'll be back to see him. Are you free right now? If you are, could you take them to the other side of the house for me and let them stay there tonight?"

Yu Qingjia said, "Okay, then you go in first. My brothers and sisters-in-law, follow me."

The key was left at Fangshan's house. It was close, so he would go there every two or three days to light a fire to prevent the house from running out of heat and falling into disrepair.

Zhou Yuehua hadn't seen her youngest son for a long time. She was overjoyed to see him. She pulled him into the house and sat him down, saying, "I didn't expect you to come now. You've been missing me so much, Dad. Let me take a good look at you."

Zhou Jianer said, "My little brother seems to be a little fatter than when I left."

Zhou Yuehua said, "He's gained some weight. It seems he's living well over there. Shuang Ge'er has lost some weight."

Yu Qinglong said: "He is going to discuss marriage, so he dare not eat too much."

Qin Yushuang felt embarrassed and patted Yu Qinglong. "Talk about your own business, don't bring me in. Uncle Zhou, Brother Long is doing well in the county now, and the children are growing up very fast. Let him tell you."

Bai Wanqiu brought two bowls of hot tea and said, "Drink it quickly to warm yourself up first."

Yu Qinglong took the teacup and chatted with Zhou Yuehua about the county affairs, while Bai Wanqiu talked with Qin Yushuang about the affairs of Xiaxi Village.

When they left, few people knew that Fang Shu had become the county magistrate. Later, when Niu Quan and others came to take those stones and wood, people learned from what they said that Fang Shu had become the highest official in Huaitong County.

You can imagine how shocked the villagers were. Not long after the news spread, Bai Wanqiu's father came over and asked if he could get his youngest son a job in the county. Bai Wanqiu scolded him back.

Bai Wanqiu said, "Fortunately, my brother now knows his own limitations, otherwise he would have been pissed off to death by them."

Yu Qinglong asked, "So, do you want to go to the county?"

People go to high places and water flows to low places. He doesn't believe that his family members have never thought about it at all.

Yu Qingye said, "I've thought about it, but what can I do in the county? Open a furniture store? You can't just open one if you want to. I can't support it on my own without anyone under me."

It wasn't just the people, but also the shop and the lumber—all of which cost a fortune. He'd asked Niu Quan, and he knew that opening a shop like this in the county would require hundreds of taels of silver. Huaitong County was a large one, and anything was no small matter. He could certainly ask his younger brother for a loan. His younger brother knew so many people and was quite wealthy himself. Now that Fang Shu was the magistrate, he could definitely open one if he wanted.

But he knew that it was easy to think about, but if he really did it, it might cause a lot of trouble for his brother.

Yu Dayou said, "The land is all here. What will I do when I go there, with so many people and so many mouths to feed? I can't just sit there and do nothing."

Yu Qinglong said, "If he wants to go, it's not impossible. But given his ability to defend the city, he'll probably go somewhere else in the future. It's impossible for everyone to move with him then, so I didn't mention it before. And as you said, father, we have land here. Land is our roots, and no matter what happens in the future, we'll rely on it. If we don't have enough land, we can buy more, and if we get tired, we can hire long-term workers. But if we all leave, we'll have no way out."

Fang Shu and he are currently in the county town, so they can protect their families. But who knows if Fang Shu will continue to stay in Huaitong County in the future?

Once you embark on a career in politics, you will no longer have complete control over many things.

Bai Wanqiu was already feeling a bit excited, but now he started to think seriously: "If we want to make more money, is there any good way?"

Yu Qinglong said, "Yes, get more land. Starting next year, you can plant more potatoes. We can make potato starch and potato vermicelli to sell. We also have some other new fruits and vegetables. I will bring another batch of seeds next spring. If you plant them then, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

Qin Yushuang said, "Actually, when you're farming in the countryside, you can take a break during the winter. But when you're doing business in the city, you can only take a break during the New Year."

Business can be lucrative, but there are also times when you lose money. You only see people making money, but you don't know the hard work behind it. Even he, now busy as a bee, is exhausted.

Zhou Yuehua said, "Even if we didn't buy the land, we're living a very good life now. Last year we didn't even have a decent place to live, but now everyone in the surrounding villages envies us. Dad is content."

Seeing that Bai Wanqiu still seemed to want to change, Yu Qinglong smiled and said, "Brother Qiu'er, if you're really anxious to make more money, you can go to town and open a shop after the New Year. Work hard every day from dawn to dusk. If you can stick with it, you can expand your business later."

Bai Wanqiu hesitated when he heard about working from dawn to dusk every day. He wasn't afraid of hard work, but if it meant working hard every day, then forget it.

Yu Qingye laughed and said, "Little brother, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just acting on his whims now. By next year, when her belly gets bigger again, there's no way I'll ask him to do anything."

Yu Qinglong said, "Again?"

Bai Wanqiu glared at Yu Qingye and said shyly, "Well, it's been two and a half months. Doctor Mo just saw it the day before yesterday."

Yu Qinglong said, "Then take good care of the child. We'll talk about it when the child is older."

He had considered sending his second brother and Bai Wanqiu to the county town. His second brother could continue to refine his carpentry skills, while Bai Wanqiu could learn more refined embroidery. But if they went, what would happen to his eldest brother's family? He couldn't ask his brother and his wife to go too. What would happen to his parents if both went? Furthermore, if the eldest and second brothers' families separated, with one earning more and the other less, the relationship between the brothers might become less pure. He didn't want to see that happen.

Yu Dayou didn't want any more children to leave, so he emphasized that they had no plans to change their ways in the coming years. He felt that his youngest son was now the most perceptive and understanding person in the family, so he felt it was right to follow his youngest son's lead.

Now his life is getting better and better because he listened to his youngest son. How could he make random plans again?

When Yu Qinglong saw what the head of the family was thinking, he had a rough idea in his mind.

In the evening, he, Bai Wanqiu, and Qin Yushuang went to Li Zheng's house. Li Zheng and Hu Bo were doing well now. Although there were some unpleasant things in the village, one had to learn to listen with one ear and let it out with the other, so as not to be affected by gossip.

For them, what is more important is whether they can live a stable life.

Although they had no men at home and the work was hard, they had money in their hands, so at least they had enough to eat and sleep, and no one chased them away or beat them. This was already a good life they had never dared to dream of. Not to mention that if there was any work they couldn't handle, there were people from their adoptive father's family who would come to help, and their two adopted brothers treated them well.

Li Zheng was very content, as was Hu Bo. Yu Qinglong noticed that both of them had gained some weight.

Li Zhengdao: "We thought you weren't coming back before the New Year. We all missed you so much that we mentioned you while we were sitting here chatting."

Yan Pan still remembered Yu Qinglong and sat in his arms. The window had grown much bigger and more sensible, sitting obediently on the side.

Yu Qinglong gave each of them a silver peanut, each weighing two taels of silver.

He said to Li Zheng, "I definitely can't come back during the New Year, so I came to see you now that I'm not busy. I hope the Yan family hasn't come to cause trouble again?"

Li Zheng said, "No. How could they dare to do that now? They would just avoid us if they saw us. You said you always brought us something when you came back, but we don't have anything to help you with."

Yu Qinglong smiled and said, "Of course not. You guys are close by, so you'd be helping me if you could just help take care of my dad."

Hu Bo said, "He's our adoptive father, too. It's our duty to take care of him. This doesn't count as helping you."

Yu Qinglong noticed Hu Bo's temper returning somewhat, and he felt quite emotional. He had once struggled with whether or not to help this man, but ultimately, he did. From the original owner's perspective, this wasn't right, but from his own perspective, it was what he would do. And now, he was the one living in this era, and life always had to look forward.

He said, "You seem a bit like the old Hu Bo again."

Hu Bo smiled but ignored the question. He was grateful to Yu Qinglong, yet also felt guilty. But after apologizing, he realized that a superficial apology couldn't undo past mistakes. All he could do was be more filial to his parents, treating them like real family, thus repaying Yu Qinglong's kindness.

And Zheng Ge'er is also his real relative.

The guys talked a lot that night, about the past and the future, and they didn't fall asleep until late at night.

The next day, Yu Qinglong went to Fangshan's house. Zhuangzhuang complained that he hadn't taught him to swim yet. Yu Qinglong promised to teach him next summer, and the boy finally cheered up.

Yu Qinglong also gave Zhuangzhuang a silver peanut, and then went to visit his master's house.

The elder sister gave birth to a daughter, a pink and white ball, very cute. Yu Qinglong gave the little girl a piece of red satin and asked the elder sister to make her a new dress for the New Year.

He also brought a lot of medicinal herbs, paper and ink sticks to his master.

He always remembered that when he was poor, his master asked him to use paper and gave him ink sticks.

If it weren't for the books from his master and the calligraphy his sister taught him, he wouldn't have been able to tell Fang Shu that he could write. Therefore, he would never forget the kindness of his master and his family.

Doctor Mo said, "You come when you want to, but why do you always bring things with you?"

Yu Qinglong said, "Then do you want it?"

Doctor Mo said, "Of course we have to. With so many good herbs, we can cure so many people's illnesses."

Yu Qinglong said with a smile, "If you need any medicinal herbs in the future that are hard to find, just tell me and I'll have someone find them and send them to you."

Anyone who got sick in the surrounding villages would rely on his master for treatment. The old man was kind-hearted, and those who were really in financial difficulty would sometimes ask him for treatment without charging a cent, and he might even give herbal medicine for free. Otherwise, based on the speed at which the old man treated patients, he would have been the richest man in the surrounding villages.

Doctor Mo said, "It's rare that you're so thoughtful, and I appreciate you. But I can't take advantage of you for nothing, so I'll give you some ointments and plasters. Use them if you need them."

There are things like blood stasis and pain relief, cooling and bleeding-stopping, and that kind of thing...

Yu Qinglong was convinced. He and Fang Shu could spend three to five years snuggling in bed together every day.

The master said, "Why are you looking at me? You have so many friends, you can't use up all your points."

Yu Qinglong: "...Thank you."

Everything was put into the schoolbag. Yu Qinglong also saw the cotton-collared hat that he had made for the old man last winter lying next to him.

The senior sister said, "I wear it every time I go out. It's so precious that I don't like anyone touching it."

Yu Qinglong laughed: "Where's Mo'er?"

The elder sister said, "I went rabbit hunting with your brother-in-law. It's so cold in winter, you know, they're really busy. If they knew you were here but didn't see them, they'd definitely regret going out today."

Yu Qinglong said with a smile, "It's not like I won't come again in the future. See you next time."

But I really won’t see it this time.

Yu Qinglong left a new set of flying chess for Liang Mo, and then went to check on his second aunt.

I feel that my cousin is much more stable than before.

It seems like everyone is getting better.

On the way back, Yu Qinglong thought of Fang Shu. He remembered that Fang had walked every path he had taken in this world. He had seen every scene he had seen, Fang had also seen it with him.

When he first arrived, he was so worried and wanted to leave and go to a bigger city, but he stayed because of Fang Shu.

There are really countless possibilities in life.

Qin Yushuang suddenly noticed that her friend had been silent for a long time, but a smile was on his face. She asked him, "What did you think of?"

Yu Qinglong said, "A couple should always have fun together. Shuang'er, you and your fiancée should find more things to do together in the future. That way, it will be easier for the two of you to stay together for a long time."

The man Qin Yushuang was going to marry was familiar to both families. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I haven't really thought about this. But he's quite honest and listens to me in everything. I just ask him to play with me."

Yu Qinglong knew that person, a simple and honest person, and indeed a good match. This time, knowing that Qin Yushuang was coming with him to attend his father's birthday, he even sent someone to send a gift.

Everything was arranged for the best, but Yu Qinglong still felt a little anxious during his days in Xiaxixi Village.

It was fine during the day, but at night he'd be worried about his children. And Fang Shu, I hope he wasn't too crazy.

Zhou Yuehua said, "You should go back early tomorrow morning. Yangyang and Xiao Shitou are still little. Have you forgotten what happened last time? When you went to the county, they cried so hard."

Yu Qinglong said, "I plan to stay for two more days to keep you company."

Zhou Yuehua held her youngest son's hand and said, "Dad is already very happy that you can come. Knowing that you are doing well, Dad feels at ease. But just like I miss you, you will also miss Yangyang and Xiao Shitou. Go back. When the children are older, you can bring them here with you. Dad misses them too."

Yu Qinglong said to Dayou, "Father, how about you take Dad to the county to stay for a few days after the New Year? I'll send someone to pick you up then."

Yu Dayou said, "That's fine. Originally, your father and I were planning to visit you and Shoucheng before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Although my son-in-law has always been a good person, I still think about him from time to time because I haven't seen how he lives and works with my own eyes.

Yu Qinglong said, "That's settled. I'll send someone to pick you up when the time comes. You can't refuse to go."

Zhou Yuehua said, "Of course I should go."

Qin Yushuang said, "Uncle Zhou, you guys can stay at my house for a few days then."

Yu Qinglong told his two brothers, "Big brother, you can all come along. It's still a long time before we go to the fields on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so you can go and spend a few days with father."

There was naturally no reason for Yu Qingjia and Yu Qingye to refuse, so the family agreed.

The next morning, Yu Qinglong and Qin Yushuang took the same car back to the county town.

He didn't have such a strong feeling before he set out on the journey back, but once he was on the road, Yu Qinglong found that he was really eager to go home.

When Fang Shu was out taking exams before, he was looking forward to Fang Shu's return, knowing that his anxiety was useless. But now that he was anxious, he could go back earlier, and the feeling was very different.

However, in the past few days, Fang Shu has not looked after his two children even once, and has left them in the care of their grandparents.

As for him, he went to the yamen during the day, came back at night to eat, and then locked himself in the study.

No one knew what he was doing, but he said he was busy and no one at home disturbed him.

When Yu Qinglong entered the house, he felt that it was quiet.

The children were mostly asleep at this hour, so he tiptoed back to his and Fang Shu's yard. As soon as he pushed the door open, Fang Shu said, without even looking up, "Mom, I'm not done yet. Can you help me look after the baby for a few more days?"

Yu Qinglong said, "What are you busy with?"

Fang Shu shuddered with fright, then put away all the books on the table.

Yu Qinglong frowned at his action: "Husband, what are you hiding?"

Fang Shu put the books in the drawer and said, "Hey, Long'er, when did you come back? Have you eaten yet?"

Yu Qinglong took off his gloves and threw them aside. "Of course I haven't eaten. I've been on the road all day. What were you doing just now?"

Fang Shu couldn't lie to Yu Qinglong, so he told the truth after thinking about it: "I want to make you a birthday present."

"But my birthday is still a long way off." The original owner was born in March.

"I meant your—birthday."

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" He was indeed born in the twelfth lunar month in modern times. Indeed, his birthday was in two days. He had mentioned it casually when he was telling Fang Shu about his world.

"I just thought of it. I'm almost done. Why don't you take a shower first? Or eat something first?"

"Eat something first, I'm hungry."

"Okay, then I'll go ask Qiao Niang to prepare it."

Yu Qinglong nodded and went into the house to change his clothes, thinking of washing his hands and going to see the children first. However, when he was about to put the silver back into the drawer, he saw a picture on the ground. It must have been dropped by Fang Shu in his panic and he might not have noticed it.

He picked it up casually and found that the painting on it looked familiar.

It looked like a neighborhood map, strangely familiar. There were other maps on the table, all of which I'd seen before, yet also seemed unfamiliar. There were at least thirty or forty of them in all.

Yu Qinglong was a little puzzled, wondering if Fang Shu wanted to do some handicraft again.

Fang Shu came back at this time. He saw the blueprint in Yu Qinglong's hand and asked him, "Long'er, do you think my drawing is realistic?"

Yu Qinglong asked uncertainly, "Are you drawing home appliances?"

Fang Shu nodded: "Yes. This is a traffic light, and this, this is a refrigerator, and this is a tablet computer. And this, this is a train."

Yu Qinglong: "...Why are you drawing these?"

He had only told Fang Shu about these novel things because he liked to hear about them. But if he couldn't actually make them, they were useless.

Fang Shu thought about it, then opened the drawer and took out three books. The titles of the books were "My Long'er".

He handed the book to Yu Qinglong, who took it and opened the first page...

A small, short-haired boy was squatting in the garden, planting seeds in pots with an old lady.

Later, the seeds in the flowerpot sprouted, and the little boy put on his schoolbag and went to school.

The little boy has no parents, but he always has an elderly couple by his side, watching TV with him and raising a dog with him.

Every time the little boy comes home from school, his grandmother comes to pick him up, and the little boy always has a sweet smile on his face.

He never cried in front of his grandmother, but would secretly look at other children in the community who were led by their parents.

Later, the little boy grew up, became taller, and changed to a bigger schoolbag.

The little boy took the school bus to school, but the bus looked a little long, like a train.

Yu Qinglong chuckled, tears streaming down his face. "Why are you drawing these?"

Fang Shu gently wiped away his tears and said, "You know that I am complete only with those stones and wood, but I don't know how to make you complete. I don't know where you came from or where you are going. But Long'er, I want to help you remember your past, so that at least I know that you used to be so lovely. You lived in such a mysterious world. You are different from others, but this is the real you. I know who you are, just as you know in your heart what kind of Fang Shu is the real Fang Shu."

Yu Qinglong turned to the last page.

On this page, he has grown up, walking his dog, and has a boyfriend.

That boyfriend looks like Fang Shu, but he also has short hair.

Even though I have short hair,...

Yu Qinglong closed the sketchbook and stared at Fang Shoucheng seriously. "My dear, men in our area don't wear their hair short like this. This is the hairstyle women wear. I'll teach you how to draw a man's hairstyle next time."

Fang Shu smiled and said, "Okay, what about now? Do you want to eat first?"

Yu Qinglong shook his head and kissed Fang Shu gently. He whispered in Fang Shu's ear: "Husband, I like you, I love you, and I am pleased with you."

Fang Shu gasped, "But, but if you say that, Long'er, I won't be able to change into the new hairstyle in the picture book tonight."

Yu Qinglong smiled and said, "No problem."

Anyway, they will always have new stories in the future, and when that time comes, he can just continue painting slowly.

He would paint until the children grew up, and he and Fang Shu would paint until they were old and twilight years had passed, and they were still each other's only longing...
