Chapter 582 Zhang Heyao's Advice

"elder brother--"

"I don't have that much time, so you have to remember what I'm going to say to you next." Zhang Heyao said seriously.

Lu Qiniang thought he was going to say something important and nodded quickly.

She felt that powerful people always seemed to be very powerful.

She has always thought that her brother is a very capable person since she was a child.

Now it seems that although she is not very smart, her vision is very good.

She listened to the advice.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Heyao waved his hand after he finished speaking, "Forget it, do you have paper and pen?"

"Yes, here." Lu Qiniang took him to the table by the window.

The large characters she copied are still there.

She pulled the used papers aside very embarrassedly and turned them over.

"You wrote it?"

"Yeah." Lu Qiniang blushed, "My handwriting is ugly."

Because she finally has some free time now, she wants to practice calligraphy.

I don’t say what I want to do in the future, but at least I feel comfortable watching it.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Heyao saw it.

"It's not bad." Zhang Heyao said, "Just practice more. I have some calligraphy copybooks and will have someone send them to you later."

"No, no, I was just writing for fun. Let's get down to business—"

She felt comfortable enough to let Xiao Yan teach her.

Because Xiao Yan always praises her.

She didn't believe it, and Xiao Yan said that this is called "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."

Then Lu Qi Niang pretended that he was really blind.

But she and Zhang Heyao were not that close.

"I want to tell you about Xiaoman's preferences. There's a lot, and I'm afraid you can't remember them all." Zhang Heyao picked up the pen and wrote on the paper while explaining to Lu Qiniang.

For example, during Xiaoman, people don’t eat duck meat, raw onions, or dates…

Lu Qinniang probably knew all about these preferences these days.

But what Zhang Heyao reminded us of was much more than that.

"...Get up early every day to study and practice martial arts, rain or shine. 'A loving mother often spoils her child,' so don't be soft-hearted in these areas."

Lu Qiniang nodded.

That makes sense.

"Although Xiaoman is young, he is very observant. On many principled issues, we cannot make any concessions, otherwise he will test the bottom line and cross it."

Lu Qiniang said that she understood this too.

Anyone who has raised a child knows this.

"He can learn martial arts from his third sister. I will arrange a tutor for him."

Although no one, including Lu Qiniang and Zhang Heyao, were at ease leaving Xiaoman to anyone, he still had to make proper arrangements since he was leaving.

"good."

"It's best to stay with him when he goes to sleep at night. He might wake up in the middle of the night and look for someone."

"When you are sick, you must see a doctor as soon as possible without delay; if you have a fever, you must stay with your doctor day and night."

As Zhang Heyao spoke, he felt that he was being a little too meticulous.

Because Lu Qiniang had raised a child.

But if I don’t remind him again, I feel like something is missing.

"He will probably cry after I leave." Zhang Heyao said with some difficulty.

Separation was too difficult for both him and Xiaoman.

Since Xiaoman was born until now, for more than four years, he has almost been the one who raised him.

Although there is no blood relationship, the father-son relationship built over the years spent together is more difficult to give up than blood ties.

"You can coax him, but don't be too accommodating. That will make him break the rules, and it will be difficult to manage him in the future."

The scale of educating children is always a difficult problem faced by parents.

Zhang Heyao is no exception.

Lu Qiniang watched him write down every detail, and then heard his slightly choked voice, and felt sad.

It felt like she had snatched Zhang Heyao's son away.

Zhang Heyao is right.

If he didn't write it down, he probably wouldn't be able to remember so many things at once.

And when it comes to being careful, Zhang Heyao is much better than her.

Lu Qiniang felt that even though she had raised several children, she had never been so meticulous.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a good father.

After giving the instructions, Zhang Heyao put it down and looked at Lu Qiniang.

"The rest is for you."

"Okay, I'm listening." Lu Qiniang nodded seriously.

"Stay in the northwest and don't go anywhere. Don't get involved in anything. You can raise pigs and farm, whatever you want, but don't get involved in the affairs of the Emperor and the Prince of Yan."

"I want to get involved, but I don't have the ability." Lu Qiniang said, "I can't do anything."

"Also, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must let me know and I will solve them."

"Yeah, thank you, brother."

"Put your heart at ease. No matter what the final situation is, I will protect you and your child."

"Brother, take care of yourself." Lu Qiniang bit her lip, "Don't be so stubborn. Whoever becomes the emperor, it won't be their Liu family's world. The emperor treats you well, but another emperor might treat you better."

"I know what's going on. You don't need to worry about the affairs of the court. Just stay here and wait for me to pick you up."

Again, no matter what the situation is, he always manages to stand firm.

"Yes..."

Looking at Zhang Heyao's expression, Lu Qiniang swallowed the words "forget it".

"Xiao Man will definitely miss you. Just for Xiao Man, you have to take care of yourself too."

"I understand." Zhang Heyao said lightly.

At that moment, he even felt like a husband going on a long journey.

Lu Qiniang was worried and gave his wife many warnings.

"I'll go talk to Xiaoman." Zhang Heyao walked out.

He didn't dare stay any longer, fearing that he would not be able to resist expressing his feelings to Lu Qiniang again.

Lu Qiniang still can't accept it now.

Xiaoman was playing happily, but when he heard Zhang Heyao calling him, he ran over with a smile.

"Dad, Dad—"

"Xiaoman, Dad has something to tell you." Zhang Heyao sat on the stone bench and reached out to tidy up his clothes. His movements were gentle, and there was reluctance in his eyes.

"Dad, I don't want to eat candy anymore. Save it for tomorrow!" Xiaoman stared at the half box of dragon beard candy left on the table, feeling a little guilty.

It seemed that he had eaten a lot this time.

"It's okay. Let's forget about the candy thing this time. I'll just control it from now on."

"Okay!" Xiaoman passed the test smoothly and agreed crisply. She leaned on Zhang Heyao's knees and fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist.

What does Dad want to say to him?

"Xiaoman, Dad has something urgent to attend to in the capital and needs to rush back immediately." Zhang Heyao said with difficulty, "Why don't you stay in Changzhou for a while and accompany your mother until Dad finishes his work and comes to pick you up?"

Xiaoman was stunned at first, then stared at Zhang Heyao blankly.

After a while, he suddenly asked, "Dad, don't you want me anymore?"

His eyes were red, and he grabbed Zhang Heyao's sleeve and begged softly, "Dad, I'll be obedient. Don't abandon me. I won't eat candy secretly anymore..."

"It's not that I don't want to leave you." Zhang Heyao's heart was broken when he saw him like this. He hugged him in his arms, "Dad really has something very important and urgent to deal with. But I'm worried about leaving Mom alone in Changzhou. You stay and take care of and protect your mom for Dad, okay?"
