The two elderly gentlemen, surnamed Wang and Cui, discovered that Song Lan was a promising student and naturally did not want to fall behind. They took turns telling Song Lan about the benefits of studying physics and chemistry, and explaining how wonderful physics and chemistry are.
Seeing the two trying so hard to persuade her, Song Lan found it amusing and agreed that she could learn from them when she had time.
The remaining elderly man, surnamed Zhang, stared at Song Lan for a moment and said, "How about Grandpa Zhang teaches you some martial arts?"
Song Lan was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Okay."
She didn't need anyone to teach her kung fu, but the old man's expectation was something Song Lan couldn't ignore. Not wanting to disappoint him, Song Lan finally agreed.
The elderly people present were all acting in her best interest; it would be unreasonable for them not to appreciate it.
About 15 minutes later, Song Lan took his leave.
During this time, she repeated what she had said at the Xiao family to Shen Lanxuan, Li Guoliang and the other elders. Unsurprisingly, Shen Lanxuan and the others also looked excited and their lips trembled.
Having confirmed that Song Lan's words were true, the elderly men unconsciously wiped their eyes repeatedly.
"Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Wang..."
Song Lan called out to Shen Lanxuan and the others one by one, and said with a smile, "Take care. I will come back to the village more often in the future. On the one hand, I will learn from you, and on the other hand, I will check your health so that when you return to your original jobs, you will all be in good health and continue to contribute to our country."
Upon hearing her words, Shen Lanxuan and the other elders burst into laughter. Shen Lanxuan said, "Good, good, good! If we really have this opportunity, it would be an honor for us old men!"
"Then I'm leaving!"
As she spoke, Song Lan waved to the elderly people, "See you later. Don't be stingy with the things I brought. Nothing is more important than your health."
Shen Lanxuan and the others smiled kindly and nodded one after another. They saw Song Lan out the door and only turned back into the house after Song Lan and Xiao Yu's figures disappeared.
"Would you like to come to my place and sit for a while longer?"
As they approached the Xiao family's thatched cottage, Xiao Yu said softly. Upon hearing this, Song Lan shook her head and said, "It's getting dark earlier and earlier these days. I haven't had a proper chat with my parents since I got back today. I want to spend more time with them this afternoon before I have to rush back to the machinery factory."
After a pause, Song Lan continued, "Don't be so stingy with those tonic pills anymore. It's very convenient for me to make medicine myself, and the herbs can be picked directly from the mountain, so there's practically no cost. But if you continue to be so frugal with your family like before, you'll definitely have serious health problems in the future. What will you do then?"
"Although there is no shortage of medicinal herbs on the mountain, people still need to pick them. Moreover, some medicinal herbs are not easy to find, especially precious ones like wild ginseng."
Xiao Yu said seriously, "The tonic pills you made must contain a lot of precious medicinal herbs to have such good effects. I... I don't want anything to happen to you when you go to the mountains to find wild ginseng or other medicinal herbs."
"You know my skills, and do you really think something like 'a lamb being led into the tiger's den' would happen to me?"
If she didn't have a brain, how could she have commanded thousands of troops, never been defeated on the battlefield, and swept away the entire grassland in just a few years?
Looking at the confidence in Song Lan's eyes, Xiao Yu said, "Even a thoroughbred horse can stumble."
"If you say that, I'll take it as a curse, Prime Minister Xiao."
Song Lan was deliberately teasing him. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu shook his head repeatedly: "That's not true."
He would curse himself, but not the person in front of him!
After all, she was more important to him than anyone else; even his family from two lifetimes couldn't compare to her in his heart...
Xiao Yu will never forget what happened on his way to the capital for the imperial examination in his previous life, nor will he forget the kindness shown to him by the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
It can be said that without the man before us, there would be no Prime Minister Xiao of the Great Xia Dynasty, and there would be no Xiao Yu as we know him today.
Therefore, he did not want any accidents to happen to her in this life!
Seeing the anxious look on Xiao Yu's face, clearly worried that she wouldn't believe him, Song Lan couldn't help but smile: "I was just joking with you, don't take it to heart."
“What I said earlier was the truth. It’s best not to go into the mountains if you can avoid it. When I first came here, I heard the villagers mention that there are plenty of big animals in the mountains. Even if you are very skilled, you are still alone. If you encounter a group of big animals, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Xiao Yu spoke with a solemn expression. Facing him like this, Song Lan felt a warmth in her heart, but also found the former Prime Minister Xiao particularly adorable, and even a little amusing. She cleared her throat and teased him again, "To be honest, why do I feel like you're really cursing me?"
Hearing Song Lan's words, Xiao Yu was stunned. After regaining his senses, he said, "You..."
However, after a long while, there was no further news.
Well, I don't know how to put it, but he really didn't mean to curse her at all, he just said it out of concern!
Song Lan was amused by the man's conflicted and helpless expression and laughed out loud: "You and my lover are quite alike. Neither of us can be easily teased. Every time I tease him, he rushes to explain. But when I pretend to be unhappy and don't listen to his explanation, he acts like you are now, conflicted and restless."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's ears turned red, and his heart ached.
He knew that Song Lan must be very happy, otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned the warm moments she shared with her partner so easily in front of him.
Are you envious?
The answer is yes.
But what good is envy?
