But now he was not in the county town, but at home, so he had to seek Wu Ju's opinion on everything he said or did.
While helping Wu Ju clean up the dishes, she asked Wu Ju's opinion, "Mother, Uncle Li came here mainly to experience the rural scenery. I thought that after we finish cleaning up the dishes, I would take them for a walk in the fields and mountains."
"Go ahead! You don't need to ask for my opinion on every family matter. Spend some time with them. It's rare that they don't despise our poor and remote place."
Shumei was so surprised that Wu Ju agreed without even thinking about it. Shumei was stunned and even stopped cleaning the dishes.
Wu Ju snatched the dishes from her hands and said, "Alright, stop dawdling. Go quickly. I'll clean up these. Don't keep them waiting anxiously."
Shumei agreed, and with a lot of doubts in her heart, she took Li Yushu and Wencai to the fields to see the crops, to the mountains to see the clear streams, and to the river to watch people fishing...
Although Li Yushu's real intention was not this, he also took the opportunity to experience the scenery which was different from that in the city.
Here you can find natural and pollution-free vegetables, blood oranges hanging on the branches, crisp and delicious winter peaches, and endless crops.
Everything exudes the charm of its original sound and color, without any artificial modification, and is completely natural.
"What fresh air, what beautiful mountain countryside. If I could live here, wouldn't it really be comparable to Tao Yuanming's paradise?" Li Yushu had an intoxicated expression and praised the scenery here highly.
"Uncle Li, you just don't come here often, so you think it's new. If you really lived here, you wouldn't think it's anything special. Looking around the surrounding villages, you can see the same scenery everywhere. It's nothing special."
"No, no, no, definitely not. You don't understand what people of our age are really pursuing. We just want a simple and ordinary life like this. This is the best destination in life, a simple and natural life."
Li Yushu smiled and denied Shumei's statement, his whole body exuding a comfortable aura.
Shumei was very happy to see Li Yushu like this.
Wencai followed along the whole time, showing no signs of impatience or unhappiness, and his attitude was quite serious.
Shumei chatted with Li Yushu all the way, introducing him to their small mountain village. Wencai really felt like a transparent person, and it made no difference whether he was there or not.
Li Yushu had a childlike innocent smile on his face. He looked at the ducks playing and fighting in the water and laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward.
"Literary talent, literary talent?"
Li Yushu pointed at the ducks in the water and laughed while calling Wencai.
Wencai seemed to be lost in thought, or perhaps he was simply too bored to sleep! Li Yushu called out to him several times before he finally responded.
"What are you doing? Can you fall asleep while standing?" Li Yushu stopped smiling, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Wencai unhappily.
"no--"
"Nothing? Xio's sophistry has affected my good mood. Wencai, let me tell you, I plan to stay in Shumei's village for a long time. Please help me arrange it!"
"What?"
"What?"
Shumei and Wencai asked at the same time, their faces full of surprise and their eyes wide open.
"Look at you two, is there any need to make such a fuss? Shumei, this is where you grew up, you're more familiar with it. Find a place for your uncle to stay first, and then Wen will prepare the rest."
Li Yushu finished speaking and squatted down to continue watching the duck dive. He even checked the time on his wrist. He was keeping track of the duck, probably wanting to know how long it could dive. He looked so focused, as if he was doing something important.
Shumei looked embarrassed. The villagers were not wealthy, and each household had only enough space for themselves. Even if one or two families had a spare room, they might not be willing to take a stranger home.
Wencai's situation is even more difficult. The county town and the village are so far apart. If Li Yushu really lives here, how will they find the time to take care of him?
He definitely wouldn't leave the company to mess around with Li Yushu in this godforsaken place. As for his elder brother and sister-in-law, there was no way he would even think about it.
Wencai and Shumei looked at each other helplessly.
"Dad, it's okay for you to play for a day, but it's not very good for long-term residence."
"Why is it bad? What's wrong with it? The air here is good, the food is pollution-free, and I think my life span will be longer. Are you hoping that I'll die soon and that's why you don't want me to live here?"
Li Yushu wasn't as easy to talk to as he used to be. He was even more difficult than a troublesome kid. Wencai had barely opened his mouth when he was bombarded with a barrage of words.
