Chapter 97 Care (Part 1)
After dinner, the weather was very good and the sun came out, so Lu Ping'an simply took her for a walk in Xiahe Village.
This is a habit developed after marriage.
Generally, when the weather is good and it doesn't rain, the two of them always go for a walk holding hands.
There are quite a few people in the village who are in free love, but there are very few who are as clingy as them.
When I take a walk outside my house on weekdays, it is inevitable that some neighbors will make fun of me.
"Hey, Ping An, are you being taken out for a walk by your little wife again?"
"Ping An, are you out for a walk with your wife again? Come in, come in. I have just made some glutinous rice cakes. Bring some back to your mother."
"Old Chen, look at him, then look at yourself, why don't you just hold my hand and walk with me?"
Aunt Liang's daughter always had a complicated look in her eyes when she first saw them, but later she would greet them while holding her child in her arms.
Although no one meant any harm, Shen Xiaoyue was so embarrassed that she only wanted to take a walk around the big tree in the yard.
When the two returned home, they found that Sun's mother and Sun Cong were standing at the door blocking their sister-in-law Sun Min.
"Sun Min, I've treated you well, haven't I? Have you ever been short of food or clothes since you were born? Did I agree to marry Lu Jun without hesitation when you wanted to?"
"But your brother has been in trouble for so long, and you didn't even come to visit us!"
Sun's mother has been getting angrier and angrier these days, especially because other families are having a great time with fish and meat, but she takes Sun Cong to eat steamed sweet potatoes and steamed potatoes, without any oil or water at all, and that damn girl Sun Min doesn't even come to see her.
She thought about it and felt that Sun Min was to blame for Sun Yaozu's theft.
If she had not refused to give money to her brother, Sun Yaozu would not have been forced to steal money.
It would have been fine if she didn't take the blame for her brother, but she didn't even show any concern for her brother when he went to jail. On New Year's Day, everyone went back to their parents' homes, but she didn't even come, let alone give any money. She didn't see a penny!
The wings are really hard!
Sun's mother was so angry that she simply brought Sun Cong to the house to make trouble.
No matter what, Sun Cong is still Sun Min's nephew. She doesn't believe that she can be so cruel as to do that!
Ever since Sun Yaozu went in, Sun Min understood one thing: when facing a rogue, the only way is to be more rogue than he is.
The last time someone defended her, she realized that everyone in the village knew everything about the Sun family. Everyone had a good idea of what the Sun family was like, so there was no need to worry about any negative impact on the Lu family.
"You have the nerve to mention it. If my army hadn't come here, you would have sold me out! You also have the nerve to say that you agreed to it."
"Is it Lu Jun you agreed to? It's the 66 yuan! He just gave it to Sun Yaozu to build a house. How can you not agree to it?"
Sun Min got angry when he thought about this.
She originally thought that Sun's mother was just being unfair to her, but since she was her daughter, she wouldn't go too far. However, she never expected that Sun's mother wanted to sell her for 50 yuan.
Mother Sun choked and yelled with her neck stiff, "You damn girl, why are you talking so harshly? What do you mean by selling you?! I did that for your own good. He's a butcher in the county town. If you marry him, you won't have to worry about food or clothing. What's wrong with that? It's just that I saw you when you were visiting relatives in the village. If you weren't my daughter, you wouldn't have gotten this kind of good thing!"
Sun Min sneered: "If she's so good, go and marry her."
"After so many years, you still remember this incident. You are so petty. Can Lu Jun tolerate this?"
Sun Min was speechless and just wanted to close the door.
Mother Sun pushed Sun Cong and said, "I am not here for anything else today. You can ignore me, but Sun Cong is your nephew. Now your brother Yaozu is no longer in the village. As an aunt, you should shoulder the responsibility of taking care of your nephew."
"I'll go to jail if I want to. It sounds so nice to say so."
Shen Xiaoyue was afraid that Sun's mother couldn't hear her, so she muttered very loudly.
When Mother Sun saw that it was Lu Ping'an's wife again, she still remembered the last quarrel and glared at her.
Sun Cong also clenched his fist towards Shen Xiaoyue.
He is very thin and dark and looks like a monkey.
Lu Pingan’s face darkened, and he stood in front of Shen Xiaoyue: “I’m not as well-mannered as my brother. I don’t have the habit of not beating the elderly and children.”
Sun Cong immediately became timid and hid behind his mother without saying a word.
After Sun's father died, Sun's mother placed the family's hopes on Sun Yaozu. When Sun Yaozu went to jail, she placed her hopes on Sun Cong.
The adults who are educated here don’t act like adults, and the children don’t act like children.
But Sun's mother didn't realize this, so she came to Sun Min to ask for money again and again.
She looks down on her daughter, but she can't live without her daughter.
Seeing that the rest of the family had returned, Sun Min became more confident: "If I don't take care of it, whoever's child is going to take care of it."
Seeing that her previously obedient daughter was not getting any attention, Sun's mother started to get angry and said, "Why are you and your brother still distinguishing between yours and his? If you find it troublesome, I can help you take care of Siyu and leave Xiaocong with you. Siyu hasn't started school yet anyway."
Sun Min almost laughed out loud.
From the time Siyu was born until now, he had never heard his mother say this. But now, for Sun Cong, she is willing to say anything.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Xiaoyue, could you please take Siyu in first?" Shen Xiaoyue knew that she wanted to handle the matter herself and nodded.
"Come on, Siyu, go in with your aunt first, and mom will be here soon."
Shen Xiaoyue shook Sun Min's hand when she passed by her. She had no expression, but it gave people some strength for no reason.
Sunmin smiled and winked at her.
Lu Pingan followed and stood behind Sun Min.
"Come on, Siyu, let me teach you the song 'The Cuckoo' today, okay?"
Siyu looked serious and nodded earnestly.
Siyu didn't have her hair cut in the first month of the year, so her hair was covering her eyes a little. Sun Min took Sixia's small hairband and made a small bun for Siyu.
When Siyu nodded, his little nose shook, which looked very cute against his serious face.
Shen Xiaoyue walked in holding Siyu's hand.
The chair was a little high for Siyu, so he stood on tiptoe and tried to lift his butt upwards.
Shen Xiaoyue smiled and helped him up, spreading the textbook between them.
Elementary school textbooks are very simple, with bold text and some simple illustrations printed on light yellow paper.
Only a few characters were marked with pinyin, and Lu Siyu couldn't recognize them all, so Shen Xiaoyue could only read them to him slowly, word by word.
"There was a stone cliff at the foot of the mountain, with a crack in it... The cuckoo and the magpie lived face to face... But the cuckoo only knew how to go out and play... The cuckoo did not listen to the advice... The crack in the cliff was as cold as an ice cellar... It froze to death at night."
"Si Yu, first point out the words you don't know and copy them down, then think about why the magpie can live in a warm nest, but the cuckoo bird freezes to death?"
Siyu obediently tapped on the textbook, and Shen Xiaoyue spelled it out to him in pinyin. After he mastered it, she wrote it down one by one on the slate.
After Shen Xiaoyue praised him for his good writing, a smile appeared on his serious little face.
After thinking for a while, he answered: "Because the magpie is hardworking and the cuckoo is lazy, the magpie starts preparing for winter when it is warm, telling us to have long-term plans."
Shen Xiaoyue grabbed a few candies and gave them to him.
There happened to be a vivid example in front of her, so Shen Xiaoyue asked, "Siyu is really smart, then are there people like the Cuckoo around you?"
"uncle."
Si Yu was smart. He never avoided him when the Sun family came to cause trouble. In addition, Sun Cong had torn his clothes before, which left a big shadow in his heart.
It's just that everyone treated him as a child and thought he didn't remember anything.
Shen Xiaoyue just noticed that Siyu looked at Sun's mother and Sun Cong with a hint of disgust.
Instead of letting him hold on to this dissatisfaction and engage in extreme behavior, it is better to guide him to express it.
Children should not be allowed to worry about matters between adults. Children cannot solve anything, and it will affect their physical and mental health.
Lu Siyu pouted, looking unhappy: "Uncle and grandma always bully mom. It's obviously uncle who is lazy and likes to gamble, but grandma always blames mom. I hate them."
Shen Xiaoyue rubbed his soft black hair: "But uncle is now locked up and will not bully your mother anymore. Just like this cuckoo bird, he will suffer the consequences of his actions, so Xiao Siyu doesn't have to worry."
Lu Siyu nodded as if he understood, and the seriousness on his face relaxed a little.
Shen Xiaoyue didn't instill anything in him and asked him to read all the previous articles by himself.
She had eaten too much at noon, and Siyu's voice was soft and thin when she was reading. Her eyelids were drooping and she felt sleepy.
After a while, he fell asleep on the table.
When she woke up, Shen Xiaoyue felt that her body was somewhat weightless, and her sight suddenly moved towards the roof.
"Hey, wife, did I wake you up?"
Lu Ping'an saw her sleeping on the table, and fearing that she would be cold, he wanted to carry her to the bed. Unexpectedly, she opened her eyes as soon as he carried her.
Shen Xiaoyue yawned: "No, I've had enough sleep."
She raised her hand to rub her eyes, but her arm felt so sore, swollen and numb that she could hardly move.
"Hiss, put me down, put me down, my arm is numb, shake it for me."
Lu Ping'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put her down, grabbed her fingers with both hands, and gently shook them up and down a few times.
"Oh, it's unblocked, it's unblocked. I thought I broke my arm while sleeping."
Shen Xiaoyue twisted her arms, looking relieved.
"Bah, bah, bah, take back what you said. Why are you talking so nonstop? Don't say discouraging things in the first month of the year." Lu Ping'an's eyes bulged, as if he would not give up until she took back her words.
"How can I take back what I have said..."
Lu Ping'an's eyes widened even more.
"Okay, okay. I'll take it."
Shen Xiaoyue took a few breaths back, and a "whoosh" sound came out of her mouth.
"Is that okay?" She said helplessly.
Lu Pingan was satisfied.
"Where's Siyu?"
"Siyu has fallen asleep too. I just helped my sister-in-law carry him back to the room."
"I don't think Mother Sun will come again."
Shen Xiaoyue was surprised: "How did sister-in-law do it?"
"Mother Sun has no one she can rely on now, so she can only rely on the eldest sister-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law directly told her that she would give her five yuan every two months. If she is not satisfied, she will not give her a dime. At worst, she will report it to the police. I just don't know if it will cause Sun Yaozu to be punished more severely."
Sun's mother is now so afraid that the police won't be able to come in time, so how can she dare to meet them?
She didn't understand the law either. She only knew that it would be difficult to get out once the police arrested her. If she caused trouble and Yaozu added more charges, she would be left alone and have a burden to worry about!
Sun Min scared her and she took it seriously.
No matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to grit her teeth and agree. Something was better than nothing.
And now she doesn't have to worry about the debts Sun Yaozu owes outside, she feels much more relaxed than before.
Mother Sun felt strangely relieved.
Shen Xiaoyue didn't expect that her sister-in-law would be so tough this time.
Lu Pingan kissed her mouth: "This is all thanks to my wife."
…
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, school will start.
Lu Ping'an originally thought that Si Xia and Si Yu were finally going to school, and he would return to his happy world of two.
As a result, one day before school started, he suddenly realized that his wife also had to go to school :)
"What do you say? I go to school tomorrow and give Lao Fu a surprise."
Lu Ping'an curled himself up secretly and tried to carry Siyu's small schoolbag.
Unfortunately, the backpack was too small and he could only hang it on his arm.
"I don't think so."
Shen Xiaoyue spread out all the things she was going to bring tomorrow on the table and checked them over and over again.
Although she has a rich theoretical foundation and the practical skills of teaching Siyu and Lu Ping'an, not every child is so worry-free.
At noon today, several of them went to school for a meeting. Principal Fu arranged the work for the three of them. Shen Xiaoyue taught mathematics to the first grade of junior high school and Chinese to the first and second grades of elementary school.
This is an age when a solid foundation needs to be laid, and it is also a test for her.
"I'm really worried that I might mislead the students."
She had already started worrying in advance.
"Wife, you can teach me, how can you be misleading others?"
That’s right, even Lu Ping’an has learned to use idioms. It’s just elementary school, what’s so difficult about that?
"Wife, will you be back at noon?"
Shen Xiaoyue thought about it. She and Hu Qingqing had agreed to take her to review high school knowledge at noon. If she came back for dinner, it would be too rushed.
"I have an appointment with Qingqing, so I won't be back."
Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up: "Then I'll go bring you food."
There are many young male teachers in the school, and they are all knowledgeable. His wife is so beautiful and smart. There might be someone who wants to seduce his wife, so he has to show his presence.
Shen Xiaoyue was puzzled: "No, it's troublesome for you to walk around. I can just prepare something in the morning and bring it over. There is a stove over there that can heat it up a little."
"Of course not. How can you heat up cold food and dishes as delicious as fresh ones? I have nothing to do at home, so why not go and bring you food?"
Shen Xiaoyue thought about it and agreed.
"But you are not idle. These are the questions I sorted out today. You have to finish them all tomorrow."
“I know, I know.” Lu Ping’an snatched the things from her hand, stuffed them all into his bag, and manually helped her take off her outer clothes. “Don’t you see what time it is, my wife? If you don’t sleep, you will have dark clouds under your eyes tomorrow~”
"That's called a dark eye!"
