Chapter 97 Together?
Lu Yao got dressed and stood up, pushing the door open and going out. Three people were huddled in a corner of the yard, muttering to each other.
The three heard the sound, turned around and saw her, and smiled brightly at her.
"Good morning, mother."
"Good morning, mother."
Xiao Yunhao and Xiao Xinyue ran quickly towards Lu Yao, who bent down and caught them.
They have been playing this kind of game since they were young, and have long been accustomed to it and developed a tacit understanding.
Rong Yan looked back at the three of them interacting and put down his work. "Are you hungry? There's porridge in the main room. It was just brought over."
Lu Yao was instantly depressed when she heard him say that: "Are my uncles and the others laughing at me?"
"They wouldn't," Rong Yan replied, pinching her slightly depressed face and comforting her. "Besides, they all praised me for being so lucky when my wife got up early in the morning to clean the house."
Lu Yao opened her eyes wide. How could she say that?
When Rong Yanhui saw her stunned look, he was even more delighted. How could his sister Yao be so cute?
He chuckled softly: "Sister Yao, is your husband very powerful?"
Lu Yao reached out and pinched his face. "Here, this is a reward for you."
Rong Yan curled his lips back, not minding at all. Instead, he happily thanked her, "Thank you, my lady."
Lu Yao: “…”
In terms of shamelessness, she is still not as good as the person in front of her.
She simply changed the subject: "Have you eaten?"
Rong Yanhui shook his head: "We will go with you."
Lu Yao was annoyed: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at the two little guys again, and saw that they all covered their eyes, but did not forget to peek through the gaps between their fingers. She was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She and her husband didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so why did they say anything out of the ordinary? Why did the two little ones seem to be addicted to playing?
Yes, play.
Lu Yao suspected that the two little guys were just entertaining their parents, and she had evidence.
The family of four ate and washed up, then took their dishes and went next door.
The Rong family members didn't go out today. When they saw them coming, they greeted them warmly.
Lu Yao and Rong Yan's plan for today was to go into the city to meet their brother. The Rong family members suggested that they go with them, and some also promised that they could go and do their work, and leave the two children to their family.
After thanking everyone, Lu Yao and Rong Yan went back to look for their brother/brother-in-law, and it was not appropriate for the Rong family to follow them rashly.
Although Xiao Yunhao and Xiao Xinyue really wanted to follow their father and mother, they also knew that they had things to do, so they nodded obediently.
"Daddy and Mommy, please be safe and be careful."
"Dad and Mom, you have to come back soon."
The two of them didn't delay any longer. They pinched the two children's faces, said goodbye to everyone, and headed towards the county town.
The two men did not go around the village, but went straight to the village entrance along the field ridge by the lake.
At this time in Fushan Village, many villagers were either working in the fields or sitting at the doorway, chatting with their subordinates. They saw the two of them from afar and looked at them curiously, but no one took the initiative to speak.
Lu Yao and Rong Yanhui finally understood what they meant by the clear distinction they had mentioned yesterday.
After leaving the village, the two talked as they walked.
"Actually, this is quite good. It doesn't affect each other."
Rong Yanhui doesn't like trouble and doesn't want to bring trouble to himself and his family.
For people of their status, they are afraid that many local people will take advantage of their status to bully them, the exiled prisoners. If that really happens, they will have no place to seek justice.
Lu Yao nodded: "Do you have any plans for your future life?" she suddenly asked.
In fact, they had already thought about this problem on the way, but they didn't know the situation here at the time. Now that they had arrived, they could not delay any longer.
Rong Yan didn't answer but asked, "Sister Yao, do you have any good ideas?"
Lu Yao glanced at him and curled her lips. "Just tell me what you have to say. I can handle it."
This man, just by looking at his toes, she could tell how many blisters he had.
"Then, Yaomei, what kind of life do you want to live?" he asked tentatively.
Lu Yao didn't have any thoughts about this. Glory and wealth? High positions and generous salaries? These were just passing clouds.
What she values is a safe, healthy, harmonious and happy family.
only,
Why is this man so fussy today?
Rong Yan replied with an awkward smile, "It won't be long before there's a general amnesty. I was wondering if I should join my cousins and give it a try."
He turned his head and looked at Lu Yao: "Sister Yao, what do you think?"
Lu Yao didn't hesitate, but said, "No matter what choice you make, as your wife, I will definitely support you."
If nothing had happened to the Rong family and her mother was still alive, she thought, Rong Ge would definitely have taken the path of imperial examination and become an official.
Now that they have gotten rid of the huge pit that the Shen family has left, and they have the help of relatives from the Rong family, the imperial examination may be a good choice.
Although he never said anything and acted as if nothing had happened every day, she could feel that Rong Ge was subconsciously a little inferior and always felt guilty in front of the three of them, mother and son. Although she didn't understand why he had such emotions, as a wife, she naturally had to find a way to solve it.
If being reliable can make him more confident, then she will fully support him.
Rong Yanhui knew that his wife treated him very well. As long as it was something he wanted, she would definitely support him. But when he really heard her say this, he couldn't help but feel surprised: "Wife, don't you think I'm too ambitious?"
"How could that be?" Lu Yao was surprised. "Brother Rong, why would you have such an idea?"
She was helpless: "I know what you're thinking, but we are your family, a whole." She sighed softly, "Brother Rong, if I can't do anything, don't understand anything, and don't have those golden fingers, will you despise me and think that I'm holding you back?"
Rong Yan spoke without hesitation: "No matter what you are like, you are my wife, the only one who will walk hand in hand with me for the rest of my life."
"So, why do you have to make things so difficult for yourself?"
Rong Yan replied: "..."
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
After the Rong family got into trouble, he and his mother had been suppressed by other members of the Shen family. After his mother passed away, his life became even more difficult. Even if he was determined, under the intentional or unintentional guidance of those people, he could not help but have some doubts about himself.
especially,
In the years after he got married, he made his wife and children suffer a lot. He regretted wanting to compensate them as much as possible, but he also blamed himself for his incompetence.
Fortunately, my wife is blessed with good fortune, so they don't end up in poverty.
Whenever he thought about the situation his family might have faced if Yaomei hadn't had that adventure, he became anxious and terrified.
Now that he has settled down, as a man, it is impossible for him to live with those things of Yao Mei all the time. It is not because of his self-esteem, but because a person cannot lose his fighting spirit and ambition.
He also has Haohao and Yueyue, and he has to set a good example for the children.
and,
I also want to make Yaomei and the children live a better life through my own efforts.
This family cannot rely solely on Yaomei, he also wants to be Yaomei's supporter.
Having been married for so many years, Lu Yao could more or less guess what the person in front of her was thinking. Without saying anything else, she simply said, "It's just right that you can go with your cousin and the others."
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of her brother and wondered if he had any ideas.
Well, I must ask him when I see him later.
The two of them were moving very fast, and while they were talking, they could already see the city gate.
"I've never been separated from my two children in all these years. I'm not used to them being away all of a sudden." Lu Yao couldn't help but say that without the children around, it felt like something was missing. She felt anxious and uncomfortable.
Rong Yanhui nodded in agreement: My lady is absolutely right.
But children have to grow up eventually, and they have to adapt to this situation.
After entering the city, the two went directly to the inn where Lu Mingxiu was.
Living with him in this inn were Chu Xiangning and his group.
The carriage they rented had already been paid the final payment and returned. When Lu Yao and the others arrived, they had just returned from touring Xikang County.
Seeing Lu Yao and the others, they were all very excited, but they also knew that they must have come for something, so they did not chat with them for long, but reminded them: "Mr. Lu and the others are in the room."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Lu Yaorong and Yan Hui knocked directly on Lu Mingxiu's door.
Mo Zhu opened the door directly and shouted happily behind him: "Master, the young lady's husband is here."
Lu Mingzheng was making tea at the table. When he heard Mo Zhu's words, he smiled at them. He didn't see the two little tails and frowned: "Where are Haohao and Yueyue?"
"They are at home, being watched by the Rong family," Lu Yao sat down and briefly recounted what happened after she followed the village chief.
When Lu Mingxiu heard that his uncle-in-law was also in that village, and that it seemed to be an arrangement made in advance, he finally put his mind at ease after a day's worry.
Judging from my younger sister's behavior, everyone in the Rong family should be a good person.
"In this case, I feel relieved."
He used to worry that his younger sister would go to a place with bad environment conditions, but now he doesn’t have to worry at all.
After recounting her experiences of the day to reassure her brother, Lu Yao didn't engage in excessive pleasantries or small talk, but went straight to the point and asked, "Brother, what are your plans next?"
She knew that her brother had come with her as a last resort, but now that she had settled down and everything was fine, he was her brother.
Lu Mingxiu handed her a cup of tea and said, "You just arrived in the village and there are still many things to deal with. Don't worry about me. I will come to you when everything is settled."
After separating from his younger sister and the others yesterday, he and Mo Zhu walked around the city twice and gained a general familiarity and understanding of Xikang County. It might be difficult for others, but for him, it was really simple to live a good life or have a livelihood.
"Brother, Brother Rong and the others are planning to take the imperial examination. Do you want to join them?" In front of her brother, Lu Yao always spoke her mind. At that moment, she told him about the family's plan.
She knew that her brother had some regrets in his heart. Now that the troublesome first wife and the Shen family were gone, he could do whatever he wanted without worrying about anything else.
Lu Mingxiu was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "I'll think about it carefully."
Since he was a child, he aspired to be like his father. Later, his body did not allow it. Although he felt regretful, he did not feel too unwilling. However, before the day of the scientific examination, he could not help but feel worried, and this seemed to have become his obsession.
Now that his younger sister asked him if he wanted to participate, he should be happy.
But the amazing thing is, he had no surprises.
on the contrary,
More importantly, it is uncertain.
