Chapter 144 The baby moves in the womb, a new school is being established…
"Pfft!" Zong Suyi couldn't help but laugh when she saw her terrified expression. Her eyes curved into two crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
The person who would normally remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him was now acting like a complete idiot.
Little Guai only kicked her once, didn't she?
Hearing the laughter, Zhang Ting gradually came back to his senses, walked seriously to Zong Suyi, and stared intently at his slightly protruding belly as if facing a formidable enemy.
With a focused expression, as if facing an extremely difficult situation, she paused for a moment, then cautiously reached out and placed her hand on his stomach, waiting patiently and expectantly.
For a long while, there was no movement.
Wait a little longer, but still nothing happens.
Zhang Ting curled her lip and said, "Tch, lazy brat."
Just as I was about to withdraw my hand, I felt something small and soft gently poke my palm. It was very light and fleeting.
She pursed her lips and withdrew her hand, her fingertips constantly rubbing her palm. A strange warmth welled up from the bottom of her heart, like the winter sun seeping into her blood, making her involuntarily soften.
She knelt down in front of the small couch, repeatedly stroking the spot where she had just touched him, but unfortunately the little one was probably tired from playing and had fallen asleep, so he didn't respond anymore.
Zhang Ting stood up regretfully and plopped down next to Zong Suyi.
As soon as he sat down, a soft, fluffy head leaned in. He counted on his fingers, "Little Darling will be able to officially meet us in five months."
"Soon, we can start preparing the baby's bundle, clothes, and shoes." Suddenly remembering that Zong Suyi's handiwork was terrible, she added, "Once I'm settled here, I'll go out and find some skilled embroiderers to do it."
Zong Suyi nodded, but then he turned to the side and placed a finger on her lips, blinking slightly. "I will take care of Xiao Guai's matter myself," he said, stroking her bright red and soft lips with his fingertip and smiling. "Lord Zhang, you should save your energy to properly deal with Feng Xian!"
Having been bed partners for so long, the two have developed a very good understanding of each other. They can tell what the other is thinking with just a glance.
Zhang Ting stared intently at him with eyes like an eagle's, "My energy is not just focused on the people of Fengxian, my lord." He parted his lips and gently took his fingertip into his mouth.
Seeing her so alluring for the first time, Zong Suyi's ears suddenly turned red. She hurriedly lowered her eyelashes, her gaze as if it had been burned, and dared not meet her eyes.
"You, be serious!" He had barely opened his mouth when he realized his fingertips were warm and wet. His breath hitched, his heart pounded, and he quickly pulled his fingers back.
However, caught off guard by being bitten, Zong Suyi cried out in pain. She looked up, about to scold her, but unexpectedly met her deep, dark gaze. She immediately lost her composure, her words stuck in her throat, and could only stammer, her ears red as if dripping blood, "Don't... don't look at me like that."
It took him a while to pull his finger back. He was so ashamed that he wanted to bury his head in the ground. He blamed himself for being so useless. They even had a child together, so how could he still be so unable to resist?
She couldn't help but blame someone for being too alluring, which had captivated her.
The more Zong Suyi tried to hide, the more determined the other man became, leaning down to whisper in his ear, "My lord, tell me, where do I put my energy?" His warm breath brushed against Zong Suyi's ear.
Zong Suyi blushed and kept trying to hide to the other side, but someone kept following him until he was forced against the wall. The person played with his black hair and maliciously stuffed it into his collar, determined to force him to say something.
Zong Suyi felt an itch and numbness all over his body. He pressed down on her hand to stop her from continuing, and while enduring the tingling sensation, he smugly shouted, "You corrupt official, do you think I will submit to this little bit of torture? You underestimate me!"
Then, of course, he was met with even harsher and more brutal punishment.
"Hahaha... Let go! You corrupt official, stop tickling me!" Zong Suyi laughed until tears welled up in his eyes, twisting his waist to dodge her wicked hand.
"I protest! If you have the guts... if you have the guts to fight me, what kind of hero are you!"
“Prisoner Xiaoyi, your protest is invalid. This official is no hero.”
Zong Suyi seized every opportunity to dart outside, attempting to escape the clutches of evil, but each time he was caught up, and the two chased each other around the house for quite a while.
In the end, Zong Suyi hurriedly dodged without noticing what was behind him and fell headfirst into the small couch. He thought to himself, "Oh no, I'm going to be caught! What should I do!" Sure enough, the next moment he was held down by a pair of strong hands.
Their eyes met, and the air seemed to thicken as their gazes locked. They could hear each other's heartbeats pounding like drums and their urgent, passionate breaths. They couldn't help but move closer, and finally closed their hazy eyes and kissed each other fiercely.
She pulled Zong Suyi onto her lap, stroked his hair, and kissed him even more passionately.
...
The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless.
Zong Suyi emerged from under the covers, looking sleepy. He yawned lazily, got out of bed, and his legs trembled slightly. After getting dressed, washing up, and eating, he went to expand his business.
The main reason was that Zhang Ting left early and returned late every day, and Zong Suyi was bored alone in the Black Bear Cave. It just so happened that the people of the county were busy rebuilding Fengxian and had no time to take care of the children, so... that's right, he was sent to take care of the children.
In the past, Zong Suyi would definitely not have agreed to this; he would have to be crazy to take care of someone else's child. But now that he is pregnant, he is at the most tolerant of the infant.
He is happy to talk patiently to anyone who is small and well-behaved, regardless of gender.
Two days ago, he counted about 230 children aged three to ten in the county. He learned from Zhang Ting's experience and organized these children into 23 teams. The older ones became team leaders and led the younger ones. The younger ones followed the older ones. Above the 23 team leaders, 10 middle team leaders were selected, and then 3 captains were selected. And above that, he was the leader.
As a mature and wise adult, he only needs to manage his three kittens.
Although there were many children, Zong Suyi's classification was very useful. The older children knew that he was the husband of the county magistrate and was as handsome as a god. They were too afraid and admiring to dare to misbehave. The younger children were ignorant, but the older ones would teach them to be obedient.
The children were energetic and played happily, but their laughter was loud and clear, and they were so noisy that they couldn't be stopped. In addition, there were so many of them that Zong Suyi felt like he was going deaf in just a few days.
Therefore, he learned his lesson and decided to give these little brats a powerful shock today.
He summoned three kittens, two girls and one boy, all around nine years old. They came running over, beaming sweetly, "Handsome brother from the county magistrate's family, what brings you here?"
The childish voice, speaking with a local accent, almost made Zong Suyi break into a laugh, her usually composed and dignified expression crumbling.
Zong Suyi straightened his expression and said to the three kittens, "From today onwards, you can no longer run around and play freely. I'm going to start teaching you to read."
The girl tilted her head and asked, "Handsome brother, are you going to teach all of us?"
Zong Suyi paused. Was it too much to ask of him to teach over two hundred people? But looking at the girl's hopeful eyes, he nodded.
If it doesn't work, then we'll let the wife figure something out.
The girl jumped up happily, "Great! We can all study!" At this age, she already realized the importance of studying. When she grew up, she could eat a lot of meat, have lots of money, and even become an official.
Zong Suyi instructed the three kittens to gather their little ones, each picking up a suitable branch, and also to find a spacious, flat area to serve as their training ground.
His past life of wealth and luxury made him adept at ordering people around, even children.
The children didn't feel anything was wrong. Their parents had to obey the magistrate's orders, so it seemed that it was okay for them, the children, to talk to the magistrate's wife.
The three kittens split up, with one leading a team of little ones to check out the area, and the other two each leading eleven teams to collect branches.
Not to mention, the kid is quite efficient; he got everything done in less than half an hour.
The location was carefully chosen; the environment is beautiful, flat, and spacious, right at the entrance of the Black Bear Cave.
Zong Suyi felt ashamed. He thought that once the teaching task was completed, he could go home immediately. That was fine too.
He checked each branch; they were short, straight, and usable.
Once this step is complete, proceed directly to the next step.
Zong Suyi's back and legs ached from standing, so he first ordered one of the kittens to bring him a stool from the house and casually put a piece of candy in her hand as a reward.
"Oh! Thank you, handsome brother!" The girl took the candy with delight, tore off the wrapper, and happily popped it into her mouth, her smile sweeter than the candy itself.
The children around were all well-behaved; the older ones stared and drooled, and the younger ones stared and drooled, but they didn't make a fuss or demand candy.
Zong Suyi was fairly satisfied and nodded. It was time to establish his own business!
"Those who show remarkable progress in calligraphy will each receive a candy as a reward," etc. What are these children called? He glanced around, his brow relaxing. "Keep it up, little black beans!"
After saying that, he thought of his underlings, "A squad leader gets one candy a month, a company commander gets two, and a battalion commander gets three." Once they've eaten his candy, how could they not obey him?
A joyful cheer erupted outside the cave, and the short-limbed little ones jumped up happily, shouting his name and praising him.
Zong Suyi sat down contentedly, supporting her back, and pouted, thinking that these kids were all more perceptive than Zhang Ting.
He clearly said no last night, but this jerk still forced me to do it, making me almost oversleep again.
After a short while, he shook off his dissatisfaction. "Hmph, I don't want to think about that stinky woman!"
Zong Suyi marked out several plots of land, instructed the children to pull up the weeds and expose the soil, and then wrote large characters on each plot to teach them.
At first, the little ones were very excited, thinking they were playing a game. They jumped and danced with joy. However, learning is boring, and they soon lost interest. Seeing that they wouldn't get any candy, they grumbled that they wanted to go out and play.
But Xiaoyi's classes aren't something you can just come up with whenever you want.
Education must start from the very young.
Big Bean pressed down on Little Bean's head, preventing them from escaping.
Zong Suyi ate the cake with relish, refusing to admit that he wanted revenge for his past deafness.
