Chapter 511 Extra 3: Childhood Sweethearts' Married Life
Lin Zhiqing thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why she was so smart but couldn't teach Lu Zhiyao a simple math problem.
She took a deep breath and smiled again: "Lu Zhiyao, let me ask you, what is three plus two?"
Little Lu Zhiyao sucked his fingers, blinked his big eyes, frowned tightly, and slowly stretched out four fingers under Lin Zhiqing's expectant gaze.
"Ah!" Lin Zhiqing pounded the table weakly twice.
She had never encountered such a difficult problem before, and she was at a loss as to what to do.
Lu Zhiyao rolled his eyes and pointed at the bed.
"I haven't found you annoying yet, but now you're trying to drive me away, Lu Zhiyao. Did your father teach you that?" Lin Zhiqing raised his voice and pretended to be angry.
But Lu Zhiyao was already used to her bullying and shook his head.
Lin Zhiqing was completely helpless with her daughter. She and Lu Zhiyao stared at each other for a long time until they heard footsteps outside the courtyard gate.
"Lu Huai, come here quickly, your daughter is making me so mad!" Lin Zhiqing complained hurriedly.
Little Lu Zhiyao opened his big eyes and stared at Lu Huai who walked in from outside. He looked very innocent.
"I bought it from the East Market." Lu Huai placed the cake next to Lin Zhiqing, then touched Lu Zhiyao's head.
"Yaoyao, you've made your mother angry again."
Lin Zhiqing was furious. She ate her cakes while complaining, "Lu Huai, how do you usually teach her math?"
"Why doesn't she even know what three plus two equals?"
"Aqing, you have to cater to his preferences!" Lu Huai smiled and shook his head, then sat in front of Lu Zhiyao and said:
"Yaoyao, Daddy bought three swords today, and Mommy bought two. We're giving them all to you. How many swords do you have in total?"
Hearing Lu Huai's unique teaching method, Lin Zhiqing also stared at Lu Zhiyao with wide eyes, looking forward to hearing that number five from her!
Lu Zhiyao looked at his father and then at his mother.
Then, under their expectant gaze, she raised three white and tender fingers.
Lin Zhiqing couldn't help laughing. She patted Lu Huai's arm and said, "Weren't you very confident just now, you genius in mathematics~"
Lu Huai was not angry either. He stared at Lu Zhiyao patiently: "Yaoyao, can you tell me why there are only three swords?"
Lu Zhiyao smiled sweetly and pointed at Lu Huai: "Dad went out and brought gifts for me and my brother, so there are three swords."
"But mother didn't go out today, and mother doesn't have a sword, so there are only three swords."
She counted on her fingers and spoke clearly.
Lu Huai was immediately amused: "That's not bad."
"Yaoyao is like you, her mind works quickly."
The latter sentence was directed at Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing raised his chin: "Of course, don't you see whose daughter this is?"
As she said that, she picked up Lu Zhiyao and kissed him several times.
Lu Zhiyao was not annoyed. He buried his head in the crook of Lin Zhiqing's neck, like a sweet and soft little dumpling.
Lin Zhiqing hugged Lu Zhiyao enough before putting him on the ground and said:
"Your brother has been reading in the study all day. Bring him here quickly so I can give him a good kiss."
Lin Zhiyao walked out of the door with her short legs, her little braids rising and falling, looking very cute.
As Lin Zhiqing watched, the frustration of not being able to teach math problems disappeared.
"Aqing, Yaoyao said she missed you yesterday." Lu Huai poured a cup of tea for Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing took it and took a sip, then tilted his head and looked at Lu Huai:
"Is Yaoyao the only one who misses me?"
"Of course not." Lu Huai remained calm and composed: "Zhixuan misses you too."
"Aren't you the one who misses me the most?" Lin Zhiqing tapped Lu Huai's hand.
Lu Huai held Lin Zhiqing's hand in return: "No."
Lin Zhiqing curled her lips: "That's not what you said when we first got married. As expected, people change."
Back then, Lu Huai could indeed be called a pure and innocent boy.
Lin Zhiqing could make him blush with just a slightly cheesy remark.
Lu Huai didn't argue with him and just smiled softly.
Lin Zhiqing felt something being stuffed into his hand. He looked down and saw a pair of beautiful earrings.
"So there's a gift from me." Lin Zhiqing put the earrings on and asked, "Do they look good?"
The distance between the two quickly closed, and Lu Huai touched Lin Zhiqing's earlobe: "Very beautiful."
This time it was Lin Zhiqing's turn to blush.
"Daddy! Mommy!" A childish voice interrupted the charming atmosphere between the two.
Lin Zhiqing tilted his head and waved to Lu Zhixuan: "Xuan'er, your father brought a gift, come over and have some cake."
"Mom, eating too much cakes will cause worms in your teeth." Lin Zhixuan stood with his hands behind his back and shook his head like a little adult.
"Oh, it's okay to eat one piece." Compared with him, his old mother Lin Zhiqing looked like a child.
"Mom, you are not obedient." Lin Zhixuan's voice was childish.
Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but pinch his face:
"You little brat, you're even trying to educate your mother."
"Did your father teach you that?"
Lu Huai quickly raised his hands: "I never taught this, it's unfair!"
Lu Zhiyao in Lu Huai's arms also stuck out his tongue and imitated Lu Huai's words: "Unfair!"
Lin Zhiqing was amused by the two children.
She caught sight of the math problem from the corner of her eye, and her expression instantly turned serious again:
"Yaoyao, come here, these questions will be finished soon!"
When Lu Zhiyao heard that he had to do the questions, he struggled out of Lu Huai's arms and fell to the ground. He picked up the wooden sword on the ground and walked into the yard.
Soon, she was wielding the small wooden sword with great power.
It's obvious that he doesn't want to do math problems, so he's trying to divert his attention.
"Lu Huai, Yaoyao is like my cousin's child. If he doesn't get beaten up for three days, he will just go to the bathroom and play with swords and guns." Lin Zhiqing held his chin with both hands.
"Isn't it good to be like your cousin?" Lu Huai said as he checked Lin Zhixuan's homework:
"I heard from Yan Wu that they will be back soon."
"Huh? How come I didn't know about this?" Lin Zhiqing smiled. "When will they come back? I haven't seen them in a long time."
"My cousin wrote to me last time saying that Yan Hang has recovered his memory."
Lu Huai smiled and said, "Your schedule of mind-testing courses is so full, how could you pay attention to these things?"
"I think if you continue like this, you might not even want to go home."
There's something sour about this.
Lin Zhiqing shrugged: "After I teach Xiao Yan, I can let him lead those students."
"I'm running back and forth between the palace and the academy every day. I'm exhausted."
"But you, aren't you also running back and forth between the Imperial Palace and the Academy? How come you don't look tired at all?"
"Talent and good physical strength." Lu Huai said concisely.
"Cough cough." Lin Zhiqing accidentally choked and looked at Lu Huai angrily.
Lu Huai pretended not to see it, but the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
Lin Zhiqing quickly changed the subject: "When my cousin and the others come back, we will go back to Shengjing City and stay for a few days."
"Father and grandfather must be thinking about Yaoyao and Zhixuan."
"I'll listen to you." Lu Huai nodded.
Lin Zhiqing was a little curious: "By the way, Lu Huai, you won't blame me for moving here to live in the middle of nowhere, right?"
"You like quietness, and so do I." Lu Huai answered straightforwardly.
What this means is that this place is good.
Lin Zhiqing also thought it was good.
Ever since she became Jian Zhaojun, the thresholds of both the Lin and Lu families have been trampled upon.
Lin Zhiqing disliked it the most, and Lu Huai also disliked it.
The two hit it off immediately and found a small village on the outskirts of the city to settle down.
Apart from anything else, there are indeed very few people who come to disturb us.
Lin Zhiqing really likes staying here. This is her real home.
There is Lu Huai and two little cubs.
Of course, if Lu Zhiyao’s math skills were better, it would be perfect.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing's mouth corners dropped again:
"Lu Huai, your numerology is so powerful, why did you pass it all on to Zhixuan, but not give any to Yaoyao?"
"This thing cannot be forced. After all, not everyone is as smart as me, right, Xuan'er?" Lu Huai is not low-key at all now.
Lin Zhixuan took his mother's surname, but his personality was exactly the same as Lu Huai's. He was simply a mini version of Lu Huai.
He is very intelligent, and has a great talent for both mathematical problems and psychological analysis.
He is different from Lu Zhiyao, he is simply a copy of Lin Yangyang.
Climbing trees to catch birds and going to the river to fish are Lu Zhiyao’s favorite activities.
She also loves to practice dancing with Yun Feng. If Chao Yan doesn't look at people for a while, she will disappear. She is simply a little devil.
After shifting his gaze away from the two children, Lin Zhiqing stretched.
Lu Huai stood up and pinched her shoulders:
"Ah Qing, there is something I want to tell you."
"Over in Luzhou, a very magical invention appeared."
"I heard that a great scholar, through research and improvement of the steam engine, discovered something that has ten times more power than the steam engine."
"It sounds a bit like what you said before, it's called something..." Lu Huai was a little stuck for a moment.
Lin Zhiqing's eyes lit up: "Internal combustion engine!?"
"Yes, especially like the internal combustion engine you mentioned before." Lu Huai confirmed: "And that something-something-industry-something?"
"Industrial Revolution..." Lin Zhiqing's lips curled up slightly: "It seems that a new era of Dasheng is about to come!"
