Chapter 116 Hmm...

"Mom, why are there so many people coming to the village recently?"

Sure enough, Mother Fu's attention was immediately diverted.

"You're talking about this. It seems like they're going to build a school. I heard some educated youth are going to come here."

“When will it be completed?”

"Who knows? It looks like a big place."

Mother Fu then remembered that He Wen and his family were not going to school. "Should we send the children to school? They are already big enough."

In the past, some people knew a few words, thanks to an old man in the village who could read. He taught people to read whenever he had time.

Since the old man died, there are few people in the village who can read. So when Fu's mother talked about the educated youth just now, her tone was full of excitement.

"Look at me. I've been here for so long that I've forgotten what I came to see you about."

Mother Fu suddenly patted her head and said, "Fu Qi caught some fish in the river, so I want you to come over tonight and have dinner with him."

Since it was nothing to do, Fu Yuling readily agreed.

And what about the children in He Jingnan's home? He Jingnan was not around them. They all stared at the door. He Jingnan had gone in a few hours ago and had never come out.

So they all waited outside, mainly because they did not forget the purpose of their visit today.

He Jingnan stared at a letter for a long time before he packed up all his things and left.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw He Wen and others looking at him with their heads raised.

He didn't smile, but his expression softened a little.

"Why are you squatting at the door?"

He picked up He An. He An couldn't speak before. He Jingnan had heard from others about the changes in Fu Yuling's family.

Now he wanted to see if He An could really speak.

"Xiao An, call me uncle."

He An did not hesitate and shouted quickly, his eyes wide and full of energy.

He Jingnan laughed. He was not a talkative person, so when a few children were chattering around him, he just listened quietly and did not disturb them.

He really likes such vivid and interesting scenes.

But when the topic turned to Fu Yuling, he couldn't help but ask: "Is she good to you?"

He Qiu was the first to answer, "Okay."

What followed were the responses from the remaining three kids.

Their answer is the same: yes, but their reasons are different.

He Jingnan laughed especially when he heard He An say that Fu Yuling helped him take a bath.

He pinched his nose and said, "You are so old and still can't take a bath by yourself."

He An shook his head, "Xiao An knows how to do it now. I don't need her to help me bathe. Xiao An is very well behaved."

He Jingnan noticed one thing, that is, the children did not call Fu Yuling "Mom", but called her instead.

Thinking of this, he asked.

It is better to speak more clearly to children.

Strangely, several children calmed down at the same time.

They couldn't really explain it, they just subconsciously wouldn't shout, they felt they preferred to use her to replace her, as if that was fairer.

When they called their mother, they always felt uncomfortable in their hearts. This discomfort was a strong sense of violation, which made them feel that they were very far away from Fu Yuling.

This sense of distance made them feel that they could never keep her.

"She looks like my mother, but she's not."

What He Wen said is actually very easy to understand.

After listening to this, He Jingnan didn't know what to say.
