Chapter 180 Chapter 180 Seasickness
On the second day of departure, both children seemed a little listless.
During breakfast, Yu Li saw them leaning against Zhou, looking listless, especially Fu Yansheng, whose face was pale and he looked uncomfortable and wanted to vomit.
"What's wrong with Yan Sheng Yan Hui?" Yu Li asked, touching the little girl's head.
Fu Yansheng called "Little Aunt" softly, suddenly leaned over, and lay listlessly in little aunt's arms.
Yu Li hugged her, touched the little girl's pale face, and secretly transferred some supernatural powers to her.
Seeing this, Fu Wenxiao couldn't help but look at the little girl.
Fu Yansheng was feeling uncomfortable. She met her uncle's gaze, pursed her lips, turned her head and buried her face in her aunt's arms.
My little aunt is so sweet and soft, and I don’t seem to feel so uncomfortable when I lean on her.
Zhou said: "It should be seasickness."
She sighed inwardly because it was the first time for the two children to take a boat and she didn't know they would get seasick.
They were in really good spirits yesterday, probably because Yu Li was playing with them and distracted their attention, so we didn't notice anything. But after waking up, they were not in very good spirits anymore. They looked listless and as if they were feeling uncomfortable and wanted to vomit.
Hearing that the two children were seasick, Mr. Wang and his wife came over to take a look.
"Is Yan Hui and Yan Sheng okay?" Mrs. Wang asked.
Mr. Wang also looked concerned. He checked the faces of the two children and saw that they did not look well.
Zhou was feeding the brother and sister water and said, "Not bad. He hasn't vomited yet. Maybe he just woke up and is not used to it."
Having said that, she was also worried.
After drinking the water, Fu Yansheng snuggled into Yu Li's arms again, holding her with both hands, and said softly: "I want my aunt to hold me."
Yu Li held her in his arms again.
Fu Yanhui was a little envious, but he knew that his sister was not feeling well, so he snuggled up to his aunt obediently.
As for Fu Wenxiao standing next to them, he was rarely ignored by the brother and sister.
Perhaps because of seasickness, the brother and sister showed their willful side as children for the first time. They felt very comfortable staying with their little aunt and did not want to leave her.
Zhou felt sorry for them and said nothing when she saw this.
Mr. Wang and his wife did not stay to disturb them. They left after saying a few words of concern, allowing the brother and sister to have a good rest.
Fu Wenxiao stared at the brother and sister who were standing next to his wife for a while, reached out his hand, touched their heads respectively, and followed them out.
Yu Li stayed with the brother and sister in the cabin for the whole morning until they took a nap and finally felt better and seemed to no longer be seasick.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Children are weak and I’m afraid they will get seasick and vomit acid. I’m afraid they won’t be able to bear such a torture.
Before going to bed at night, Yu Li went next door to see the two children.
They had already gone to bed, and the brother and sister were lying side by side in the bed, not sleeping very well. Zhou sat by the bed, watching over them, touching them from time to time, somewhat worried that they might get sick.
When I saw Yu Li coming over, I knew she was worried about the two children.
Zhou said: "Don't worry, Li Niang, Yan Hui and Yan Sheng are in much better spirits now, they should be fine."
Yu Li hummed, walked over and touched the two children's hands, took the opportunity to input their supernatural powers, and said to Zhou: "Mom, if Yan Hui and Yan Sheng feel uncomfortable, please send someone to call me."
Zhou didn't think much about it, thinking that she was worried about the two children, so she agreed with a smile.
After seeing Yu Li off, Zhou touched the children's faces again and found that they had finally fallen into a deep sleep this time, unlike before when they always slept restlessly and moved their bodies all over.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and after making sure the two children were sleeping soundly, she also lay down to rest.

Yu Li returned to the guest room and saw Fu Wenxiao sitting under the lamp, fiddling with the chessboard on the table.
He had just showered and was wearing a white pajamas with the lapels gathered to his neck, wrapping him tightly. His black hair was loose and one could faintly smell the light plum fragrance emanating from his hair. The night wind blew in from the window, lifting his hair up in wisps.
Seeing that the night wind was too strong, Yu Li went to close the window first and asked, "Xiao brother, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Waiting for you." Fu Wenxiao raised his eyes to look at her and suddenly asked, "Li Niang, are you hungry?"
Yu Li touched his stomach. He had just transferred his superpowers to his two children, so he was really hungry.
Before she could say anything, she saw him open a food box on the table. Inside were delicate and small snacks. You could tell who made them at a glance.
She was a little surprised, "Did you do this?"
Fu Wenxiao responded calmly, asked her to come over and sit down, and asked her to have some snacks to fill her stomach.
It still has the familiar taste, and I never seem to get tired of eating it.
Yu Li's mood suddenly became very good. Holding a piece of dessert, she looked at him with a smile and asked, "When did you make it? Why did you suddenly prepare dessert for me?"
Under the light, her eyes were like scattered stars in the sky, beautiful and mysterious.
Fu Wenxiao stared into her eyes, his heart beating faster, and said, "You did it this afternoon when you and Yan Hui and Yan Sheng were playing." After a pause, he continued, "They seemed to be in good spirits earlier."
Yu Li looked at him and understood what he meant. It seemed that he knew that he had lost his superpowers to those two children.
So she smiled and asked, "Is this a reward for me?"
He was a fastidious person, he never liked the smell of cooking fumes in the kitchen, he seldom went into the kitchen on his own initiative, even if he was making snacks, it was only occasionally. In fact, if he really wanted to, he could make both cooking and snacks delicious.
Yu Li was quite surprised that he suddenly made snacks for himself today.
I was starving when I came back, and the snacks he made tasted even better.
Fu Wenxiao poured her a glass of water and said, "No, I just want to do it for you."
He really didn't like cooking, but if she wanted to eat, he was still willing to go into the kitchen.
Every time he sees her eating with relish, the cook always feels a sense of accomplishment and is willing to step into the kitchen, cook for her, and do things he would never have thought of doing before.
There's nothing wrong with making an exception for her.
When Yu Li heard this, his eyes curved into crescents with smile and he leaned over and kissed him.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao brother, you are so kind."
It is a great blessing to meet someone who is willing to constantly break his principles for you.
She knew how good he was to her and kept it in mind.
Fu Wenxiao lowered his eyes, and the fingers holding a chess piece paused slightly.
Although the two of them have done many intimate things, every time she takes the initiative, he still can't help but feel excited and overjoyed.
After eating snacks, I finally didn’t feel so hungry anymore.
She yawned and looked sleepy.
Fu Wenxiao put away the chessboard on the table, took her to the screen to wash up, and then they went to bed to rest.
As soon as he lay down, he stretched out his arms and held the person in his arms.
Yu Li had become accustomed to his arms. Every time she could adjust her posture in his arms and then fall into a deep sleep.
-
In the next few days, Yu Li played with the two children in the cabin, always paying attention to their situation and secretly transferring supernatural powers into their bodies.
Maybe it was their supernatural powers that helped them adjust their bodies, or maybe it was because children are more adaptable. By the time the ship was about to reach Qingjiang Province, they no longer showed any signs of seasickness and became energetic again.
Everyone on the boat thought they were just a little uncomfortable when they first set out and didn't think much about it.
Only Fu Wenxiao knew how much effort Yu Li put into the days he spent with them, and why he came back hungry every night.
When they went to bed at night, Fu Wenxiao held her in his arms, stroked her thin back, and sighed softly, "When will A-li get fatter?"
Yu Li was about to fall asleep. Hearing this, he retorted, "I can't get fat, unless I lose my superpowers one day."
As long as she has the superpower, she will keep stealing the nutrients converted from food. Her body will not be able to gain weight and will only remain in its current state.
In fact, she just looks thin now. She has flesh where it should be, and can be considered slim.
At least she is not as thin as when she first came here, when she was just skin and bones and looked creepy.
Fu Wenxiao knew this was the truth, but he still felt sorry for her.
Superpowers are indeed good things, but he would still feel uncomfortable if he kept her so thin.
"It's okay..." she said vaguely, "I'm healthy anyway, it won't affect anything." She just looked thinner, but her body was indeed healthy. Those hot-blooded men might not be as healthy as her.
Fu Wenxiao tightened his arms, held her in his arms, kissed her lips, then patted her back and coaxed her to sleep.
He knew her temper and didn't need to persuade her.
I just hope she can take care of herself and not make him too sad.
**
Because there was no rush, the boat was not traveling very fast.
When they arrived at the provincial capital of Qingjiang Province, the ship was moored at the dock. They got off the ship and prepared to rest in the city for a night and replenish some supplies.
The servants on the ship would take care of the replenishment of supplies, so the masters did not need to worry about it. Besides, there was still time, so they went to visit the provincial capital together.
Yu Li has always been obsessed with the river noodles here.
It was a rare occasion for her to come here again, so she planned to eat river noodles and go to a restaurant with everyone else.
In fact, the river noodles made by those small stalls on the roadside are more authentic and have better flavor, but there are old and young people here, and they seldom eat food from roadside stalls. They would rather go to restaurants, which are more hygienic.
Mr. Wang and his wife had also been to Qingjiang Province, but they had never eaten the river noodles here. They found that the food that Yu Li could not forget tasted very good.
After knowing each other for so long, they already knew that Yu Li had a good appetite.
What’s more, she doesn’t gain weight, which is really enviable.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I've heard of the river noodles here before, but I've never tried them. I didn't expect them to taste so good."
The key to this river noodle dish is the word "fresh". The soup is so delicious that it will make your tongue drop.
"Indeed." Mr. Wang also praised him out of respect.
River noodles are a popular food among the people here. They are cooked like a hodgepodge, with all the ingredients mixed together in one pot. In the eyes of the wealthy families, the cooking method of this food is really not sophisticated and not presentable, so they seldom eat this kind of folk snack.
It is normal that Mr. Wang and his wife have never eaten it before.
After eating the river noodles, they strolled around the city, and when it got dark, they went to the Fu family's house to rest.
The next day, they boarded the ship again and continued their journey.
Life on the ship is boring, but it is not boring if there is something to do.
Especially when there are two children on the boat and these two children have to study and learn with the adults, things become complicated.
Even though they were on the boat, Fu Wenxiao still had strict requirements for them, requiring them to read and practice calligraphy, and also assigning them homework.
Not only that, there is also the physical education class that Yu Li required.
Physical education class is about practicing physical skills.
After the two children turned five years old, Yu Li consciously taught them physical training.
Because children are unstable and have soft bones, she broke down the physical training moves one by one, teaching them the simplest moves first, and shuffled the order. This way, the growing children would not feel pain and the training effect could be achieved.
Because each movement is practiced separately, they can only make their bodies stronger at the moment, and there are no major changes in other aspects.
Once they have mastered these separate movements one by one, when they are older, they will be able to connect all the movements together, and then they will be able to achieve the effect of truly strengthening their bodies and increasing their strength.
Moreover, by then they will be able to practice physical skills faster than adults and with better results, after all, the basics have been laid.
Yu Li taught strictly according to the procedures he knew in his previous life.
For things like physical training, there are different ways of teaching children and adults. This way, children won’t feel pain and won’t be afraid to practice physical training in the future.
The two children are well-behaved and have good concentration. No matter whether they are taught by their uncle or aunt, they will learn seriously.
This made Mr. Wang and his wife very surprised.
They rarely see such well-behaved and cute children, making it difficult for the elders to refuse.
Mr. Wang often went to Fu Wenxiao to discuss academic matters. When he saw Fu Wenxiao teaching the two children, he also became their teacher.
Every time he discovered the intelligence of his two children, he was delighted.
He turned to Fu Wenxiao and said, "Brother, your two children are really smart. If my brother Xiu was not too old, I would like to marry into your family."
It just so happened that one of the twins was a girl.
Fu Wenxiao said, "Brother Wang, marriage is up to the child's own wishes. As elders, it's best not to force it."
Even though Mr. Wang's son was close in age to Fu Yansheng, he didn't want to arrange a marriage for them.
Mr. Wang laughed, "Indeed, marriage is an important matter, and we should let our children like it. We are not the kind of authoritarian parents who must make our children listen to us."
Although it is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, marriage matters should be decided by the elders.
But you should also ask the child's wishes. If the child doesn't like it, it's best not to force it.
Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang also met before marriage and fell in love with each other, so the two families arranged their marriage. Over the years, they have been loving and harmonious, and naturally they will not interfere in their children's marriage.
On the other side, Madam Wang and Madam Zhou said, "Your two children are really well behaved. They can sit still at such a young age. They will definitely be extraordinary in the future."
Judging from the small details, these two children will definitely have a bright future.
Zhou smiled and said, "I don't expect them to achieve anything in the future. I just hope they can live a peaceful and smooth life."
Mrs. Wang was touched when she heard this and sighed, "That's true."
Although parents hope their children will have a bright future, most of them just hope their children will be safe and sound.
-
The further north you go, the colder it gets.
Especially by the beginning of October, the weather had become extremely cold and everyone wore thick clothes.
When I woke up in the morning, I opened the window and looked out. I could see thick frost on both sides of the coast, and the frost was shining coolly in the morning light.
The ship arrived here twenty days after departure.
After drifting on the boat for twenty days, many people became depressed, even Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang.
Fortunately, although their spirits were low, no one on board fell ill.
There was not only a doctor on the ship, but also a lot of medicinal herbs. The doctor would often boil a pot of medicine and let everyone drink it, so no one got sick.
On the contrary, the two children have become accustomed to life on the ship and are full of energy. With Yu Li playing with them, they don’t find life on the ship boring at all.
That day, the ship stopped at a dock in a county town in the north.
This will allow people on the ship to go ashore for some activities and replenish supplies.
Everyone got off the boat and walked around the pier.
Yu Li was holding the two children, Zhou and Mrs. Wang followed behind them, and Mr. Wang and Fu Wenxiao walked at the end.
This pier is very large and prosperous. There is a busy street next to the pier. There are many stalls selling food and local specialties, and the sounds of shouting are deafening.
They ate hot noodle soup at the dock and warmed themselves up.
Then went shopping again.
Yu Li had just bought a small bamboo carving when he suddenly saw a thief stealing something in front of him. The thief easily stole the purse of a young man in brocade clothes.
She casually broke off a corner of the bamboo carving and flicked it over.
The thief screamed and the purse in his hand fell to the ground.
The noise startled the people around him. The servant next to the young man in brocade clothes looked down and shouted, "Master, your purse has fallen."
The boy was about to bend down to pick it up, but the thief snatched it away and ran away.
"Robbery--"
Someone shouted immediately, and before the thief could run far away, he staggered and fell to the ground with a bloody head.
The people around him were confused and didn't know how he fell.
Soon, patrolling yamen runners came and took the thief away.
This scene seemed very normal. No one doubted why the thief fell down. They thought he was born clumsy and it was his own fault. They cursed him and said he deserved it and then dispersed.
Fu Wenxiao took a look, then turned to look at the girl next to him and saw that she looked calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
He lowered his eyes to look at her hands and found that the bamboo carving in her hands was missing two corners.
A good bamboo carving now looks like a broken one.
Yu Li felt it was a pity to waste the bamboo carving, so she went back and bought two more.
Just as I was about to pay, a surprised voice rang out.
"Miss Yu?"
