Hearing the shout, Qin Wan subconsciously raised her head. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.
The once handsome husband now had a face full of stubble, disheveled hair, and his clothes were covered in dust and stains, as if he were a savage who had just walked out of the mountains and forests.
"What have you been doing? It's only been half a month, how come you've become like this? You're just like a savage!"
Qin Wan asked with a look of pity, her eyes instantly red.
Lu Yu scratched the back of his head, grinned, and said lightly:
"It's just a small favor for someone."
However, the tacit understanding between the couple for many years made Qin Wan immediately realize that he was not telling the truth.
But because Aunt Yu was present, Qin Wan couldn't expose him on the spot. She just smiled and said softly:
"Look at you now, you look like a wild man. Go take a good bath and shave your messy beard carefully. Otherwise, when the children see you later, I'm afraid they won't dare to recognize you as their father."
"Okay, I've been thinking about going home to see you and your daughters as soon as possible."
Lu Yu agreed, striding towards the bathroom as fast as the wind. He looked a little tired, but he couldn't hide his eagerness to wash up.
Qin Wan stood up quickly upon seeing this, and hurried back to the room to find some clean and comfortable clothes for Lu Yu. At the same time, he instructed his aunt:
"Aunt Yu, please go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of noodles for Lu Yu!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go to the kitchen to make noodles right away." Aunt Yu responded readily, with a warm smile on her face.
Now, her overall mental state is much better than before!
Aunt Yu was quite clear-headed. She thought to herself that with her current strong body, she could continue to work hard for another twenty years. Besides, the salary she was earning was not low. After another twenty years, she would have accumulated a considerable amount of savings.
At that time, she would return to the countryside to buy a small house and then find an honest, kind-hearted young man to take care of her in her later years.
Aunt Yu had a clear mind. As long as she had enough money, why would she need to worry about no one to take care of her in her old age?
But then again, as long as Aunt Yu is willing to stay, Qin Wan doesn't mind taking care of her in her old age.
It’s a pity that it’s not convenient to say this too bluntly for the time being. After all, Aunt Yu has a daughter who is an ungrateful person.
Soon, Qin Wan had brought Lu Yu's spare clothes to the bathroom door and knocked gently on the door to inform Lu Yu inside.
Then she washed the remaining clothes and hung them out to dry.
Just at this moment, Aunt Zhang came back home with several children.
As soon as the four little guys came in, they looked around like little monkeys, their big eyes rolling around, but they didn't find where their father was.
These little brats immediately turned their gaze towards Aunt Zhang, blinking their eyes and asking in unison:
"Grandma Zhang, where is Dad?"
As soon as Aunt Zhang entered the yard, she heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom. She knew clearly that Lu Yu must be taking a bath in there.
However, she didn't intend to tell these little kids the answer!
She pretended to be confused, waved her hands at the children and said:
"Oh my, I can tell you for sure that your father is really back. But I don't know where he went!
How about you guys guess where your dad is going?"
As soon as these words came out, the four little kids instantly quieted down, frowning and thinking hard. Then they lay together, muttering to each other.
After a while, Dabao ran into the bedroom; Erbao was not to be outdone and turned and ran straight to the kitchen; Sanbao took two steps at a time and rushed to the bathroom; and the youngest, Sibao, staggered on his short legs and ran towards the guest room where Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu lived.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon the four little guys gathered together again.
They looked at each other, as if they had telepathy. They nodded at the same time, and then rushed to the bathroom like a swarm of bees...
Listening to the sound of water rushing in the bathroom, it was as if a cheerful concert was being played. The four little guys standing outside the door couldn't contain their excitement and shouted in unison:
"dad!"
At this moment, Lu Yu, who was soaking in the bathtub, heard the children's crisp and tender calls, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
While enjoying the comfort of the warm water caressing his skin, he responded loudly:
"Big Treasure, Second Treasure, Third Treasure, Fourth Treasure, have you ever listened to your mother at home?"
The children answered in unison:
"Listen to mom, listen to mom!"
These uniform children's voices are full of innocence and dependence on their mother.
Hearing this, Lu Yu felt a tingling sensation in his heart.
Qin Wan, who had been busy all the time, heard the warm and interesting conversation between her husband and his sons, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of happiness in her heart.
These ordinary yet precious family moments make her feel that life is so beautiful.
After a while, Lu Yu finished his shower, wiped the water droplets off his body with a towel, quickly changed into clean and tidy clothes and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out of the bathroom, he was surrounded by four lively little kids. The children swarmed around him like a group of bees, chattering about the interesting things that happened today.
Lu Yu listened to the children's words with a smile, his eyes full of doting.
Then, he picked up his change of clothes and walked briskly to the water pump in the yard. He threw the clothes into the washing tub skillfully, then grasped the handle of the water pump with both hands and began to pump water vigorously.
Accompanied by a rhythmic creaking sound, the clear well water slowly flowed into the washing tub, splashing small water droplets.
The four treasures stood aside and looked at the crystal clear, sparkling water. They felt like countless ants were crawling in their hearts and they were itching very much.
I saw them gathering to the front one after another, vying to stretch out their chubby, chubby little hands, eager to put them into the water and play.
