Old Zhao nodded with a smile, "Of course, I really appreciate your straightforward and honest nature."

Ke Meiyu smiled, pursing her lips: "I was thinking, you two must be quite bored staying in the countryside. While exercising and recuperating, why don't you also go back to your old ways and help me teach my brothers?"

"My brothers are actually not stupid, they just don't use their intelligence in their studies."

"They have their own ambitions, but they started from a low point, and they can only rely on the two of you to help them rise above their circumstances."

Without hesitation, Elder Xue and Elder Zhao agreed immediately, saying, "What kind of request do you have? It's just five, no, seven students, right? What's so difficult about that?"

Ke Meiyu was stunned. She was a terrible student, and she was already going bald from studying medical arts and talismans every night. Making her study during the day as well? She'd rather just give her a quick death!

Before she could refuse, Qin Yuanjiu said with a smile, "Then we thank Elder Xue and Elder Zhao. We believe that we will benefit from studying under your guidance for two months."

Old Master Xue stroked his beard, looking inscrutable: "If you have talent and are willing to work hard, we are happy to take you on as our apprentices!"

His words surprised his wife.

Although they are just ordinary teachers, they always value quality over quantity when taking on apprentices, and each of their apprentices is a top performer in their respective fields.

Therefore, becoming their apprentice is equivalent to gaining access to these connections!

However, looking at the young couple's expressions, one was outwardly humble but actually unruly, and the other was confused and happy but actually clueless. It was both funny and made her feel sorry for her husband.

The police car still drove to the village entrance as usual, and the roar of the engine still attracted many villagers and children to watch the excitement.

They watched calmly as Ke Meiyu got out of the car; only Fu Bao'er from the village received this kind of treatment.

Ke Meiyu continued to smile as she took out a bag of fruit candies and a bag of milk candies from her pocket, handed them to her nephew who was squeezed at the front, and stroked the child's soft hair: "Go and share some with your friends and grandpa and grandma. Auntie bought you a lot of things. Go home early!"

The child happily hugged two large bags of candy, nodded repeatedly, shouted loudly, and ran off with his brothers and sisters, leading about a hundred children.

The old men and women sitting under the tree were all grinning with their missing teeth.

Some of them were extremely poor, some had no children, and it could be said that they had suffered their whole lives. How could they bear to eat candy? In fact, their decades of life were filled with only bitter memories.

Thanks to the seventh sister of the Ke family, they can still enjoy milk candy and fruit candy in their old age. One piece of candy is enough to keep them happy for ten days to half a month!

"Seventh Sister Ke, who are these two older brothers and sisters? Could they be your in-laws?"

"Ke Qimei, your grandma said you went to visit your aunt in the provincial capital? Is this your aunt? She's quite young and particular about her appearance..."

The villagers made various guesses.

Ke Meiyu's eyes were full of pride. "These two old men are no ordinary people. They are professors from the Polytechnic University in our provincial capital! Moreover, they have been invited to teach at Kyoto Institute of Technology after the New Year."

"This time they will relax and recuperate in our village, and experience a simple life for two months."

professor……

Everyone was stunned. Then, they showed great respect for Professor Xue and Professor Zhao, and couldn't help but shout in unison, "Greetings, Professor!"

Old Xue and Old Zhao felt slightly uncomfortable facing the simple, curious, and envious villagers, but they still smiled and nodded.

"Can't the car reach the village?" Old Zhao asked worriedly, looking at the pile of heavy suitcases and bundles on the back and roof of the car.

In her early years, amidst war and hardship, she was able to grit her teeth and endure the difficulties of life.

But now that they are able to find ways to improve their quality of life, Old Zhao is naturally unwilling to compromise himself.

Knowing that her elderly husband and wife would be staying in the countryside for two months, she spent the last few days rummaging through the house to find things to make her rural life more comfortable.

Add a little to the left, put a little on the right, and the trunk and roof of the car are completely filled!

Ke Meiyu smiled, raised her chin slightly, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Brothers, let's get to work!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of young men rushed out, all grinning with their white teeth. They then huffed and puffed, carrying and lifting, and unloaded the things in just one trip.

"Hey girl, where should I send it? To our house, or your new place?"

"Let's put it in the old house where I used to live," Ke Meiyu said after thinking for a moment.

Her house was one of the best-equipped houses in the whole village, apart from the new houses. It was suitable for the two elderly people to live in and also convenient for them to teach their older brothers nearby.

Who knows, they might take the opportunity to give their nephews some pointers?

Old Xue and Old Zhao were taken aback. "The young men in your village are quite enthusiastic."

Ke Meiyu said proudly, "They are all my brothers. They basically take care of everything, and I don't need anyone else's help."

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful," the two elderly people nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with envy.

They were in poor health and had been traveling around a lot when they were young, so they only had one son and one daughter.

Meanwhile, their children, with their modern ideas, become impatient after having only one or two children.

Their home wasn't lively enough, so they had to take on apprentices to make up for it!

Surrounded by villagers, they marched in a large procession toward the Ke family's old house.

The Ke family had already heard the news from their children, and together with the village chief and the village party secretary, they gave a grand welcome at the door.

"Hello, Professor! You must be tired from your journey. Come in and have some water and rest!" The old lady rubbed the hem of her clothes, greeting him with a rare shyness and excitement.

"Auntie, you don't need to be so polite," Old Zhao said with a smile, taking Old Lady Ke's hand. "We came to your door without saying a word and have been bothering you for two months. We've been impolite!"

"Not at all, not at all!" Grandma Ke quickly replied, "We welcome you."

After some polite exchanges about who should sit down, Grandpa Ke and Grandma Ke finally sat down, feeling a little uneasy.

Ke's mother and several of her sisters-in-law brought out poached eggs with brown sugar.

Ke Meiyu held a bowl and ate with relish, then couldn't help but sigh, "It's still so comfortable at home. Even a bowl of brown sugar poached eggs tastes like my mother missing me..."

Aunt Ke chuckled, "Seventh girl, you're mistaken. I made the brown sugar poached eggs today. But I missed you too."

Everyone was overjoyed.

While they were talking, Madam Ke brought out some radish soup, saying, "It's almost time to eat, so have some to tide you over."

Ke Meiyu smiled with her eyes crinkling, then buried herself in the cake and began to eat. After finishing, she even munched on the wedding cake, explaining the purpose of Mr. Xue and Mr. Zhao's visit.

"Mother, I'll make you a menu later. Just follow the menu and don't give Old Master Xue and Old Master Zhao any extra food!"

Although Mrs. Ke had a lot of doubts, she smiled and agreed, "Professors, I am just a peasant woman, and I only know how to cook simple meals. Please don't look down on me."

Old Xue and Old Zhao quickly shook their heads.
