The group of young men nodded in agreement, agreeing with what Mr. Yu said.
The good men of the Lu family all cherish their wives, and they will cherish their wives well in the future.
Lu Xiaoyang watched Yu Shi and Lei Zi talking, feeling incredibly envious. Lei Zi had his parents as a backer, giving him many advantages over Lu Xiaoyang, which was why he was willing to withdraw from the competition.
After talking for a while, Madam Yu went back to sleep, while Madam Qin wanted to go check on Lianhua and Youya.
His two children and niece all went to the prefectural city with him, and as parents, they naturally missed them terribly. If it weren't for the fact that Qin was pregnant and still had some hope, she was afraid she wouldn't have been able to hold on.
As a mother, she was naturally happy that her children had grown up and were going out to make their own way in the world. However, she couldn't help feeling sad because she knew that a mother worries about her children no matter how far they travel.
Fortunately, Lu Baichuan managed to persuade Lu Lao Er not to go on a long trip last time, otherwise, leaving her alone would have been a truly difficult time.
When they arrived at Lianhua and the others' place, the little girl was still awake, whispering in her blankets. When Lianhua and Youya returned, Tingya was very curious and kept asking them if they had fun outside. She even had some longing and wanted to go with them to do needlework, because learning embroidery by herself was really lonely.
Lianhua and Youya told Ting about the things that happened outside, some good and some bad, which Ting found interesting and exciting.
However, Lianhua did not mention the Zou family's affairs. Youya and Tingya are still young and should not know about these things, nor should they be frightened by such things, causing them to be afraid to go out in the future.
Despite what she had gone through, with the encouragement of Aunt Jiu Niang, she bravely faced life, believing that only by becoming stronger would bad people not dare to provoke her.
When Madam Qin came in, she heard her say those words.
"What is this talking about?"
Qin Shi, supporting her back and with her pregnant belly sticking out, walked in with a smile.
Seeing this, Lianhua quickly got up to help him up.
Madam Qin smiled and said, "I'm fine, I can walk by myself."
Now the floors in my house are all paved, so I don't have to worry about slipping and falling.
"Hehe, I feel more at ease if I support you a bit. Auntie, why are you coming over so late?"
Lianhua smiled and helped Qin Shi over to sit on her bed. Then, while asking questions, she reached out and touched Qin Shi's belly.
"You've been gone for so long, I wanted to talk to you. How are you doing in the capital? Are you settling in well?"
Madam Qin held one child in each hand, her eyes filled with loving kindness.
Youya nodded and said, "Everything is great. Uncle and Aunt are very kind to us. Uncle even taught us how to ride horses!"
Lianhua also said, "Yes, Auntie, Third Uncle and Third Aunt are usually very busy, but they always make time to be with us. Especially Aunt Jiu Niang, she tutors Gou'er and the others every night and then lets us learn along with her. She mainly teaches us arithmetic and how to use an abacus. We learn very quickly."
Similarly, she didn't plan to tell Qin about the Zou family's affairs, not wanting to add to Qin's worries. Anyway, it was all in the past, and nothing bad had happened to her.
"That's good. You haven't answered my question yet! What were you talking about? Why are you talking about getting stronger?"
As Qin spoke, she pulled Ting, who was standing to the side, over to talk to the three little girls.
"Hehe, Sister Lotus said that there are good places and bad places outside. If you want to live a peaceful life, you have to make yourself stronger so that bad people won't dare to bully you. Then you can live a peaceful life."
Tingya repeated what Lianhua had said. Qin nodded, but before she could speak, Lianhua hurriedly added, "Aunt Jiu Niang told me this, and I think it makes a lot of sense, so I'm telling my sisters as well."
Madam Qin said, "Third sister-in-law is right. Our family is the same. When we didn't have much power, everyone wanted to bully us. But as our family's life gradually improved, no one dared to bully us anymore. They even tried to curry favor with us and asked for our help. The point of living is to fight for your pride and strive to become stronger so that no one will dare to bully you."
"Uh-huh!"
The three little girls nodded repeatedly, thinking that they must become stronger and become like Aunt Jiu Niang.
After exchanging some private words, Qin went back to sleep. As soon as she came out of the children's room, she saw Lu Lao Er standing in the yard waiting for her. He hurriedly went forward to help her up.
"Didn't I say I can do it myself? You don't need to be so careful."
That's what she said, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.
When she had her first two pregnancies, life was tough for her family. The men were busy working in the fields every day, and even when she was pregnant, she had to help with chores. She basically didn't receive any care.
Now that life is better at home, Lu Lao Er no longer needs to work in the fields all day. With farmhands to do the work, he can just go and check on things as usual. If there's nothing else to do, he can go home and keep Qin Shi company.
In Sun's words, it was about making up for all the previous shortcomings as much as possible.
Qin felt sweet inside and smiled on her face. She had gained a lot of weight during this time and walked a little clumsily. Lu Lao Er always accompanied her patiently.
My third sister-in-law said that no matter how difficult it is, we must move around more to facilitate production.
She had given birth twice before, so she was experienced and would go out whenever she had nothing to do.
During this time, her husband stayed by her side the whole time.
The men in the Lu family all dote on their wives, which is all thanks to their mother-in-law's good upbringing.
Qin was very grateful to have met her husband's family, which made her feel even warmer family affection than she did at her own family home.
"You're quite far along in your pregnancy, how can I not be careful? Come on, walk slowly, watch your step."
Lu Lao Er helped Qin Shi slowly back to their house. The couple chatted and laughed, and the scene was very harmonious.
The next morning, after Lu Baichuan got up, he led a group of children to practice martial arts in the yard. A large group of men and women all started practicing.
Lianhua practiced with particular diligence. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she would specifically ask Lu Baichuan to teach her a few more times. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy, she had been through this several times and was determined to master her skills.
"Lotus, I know how to do this, I'll teach you!"
Lei Zi came over, very enthusiastically.
This made Lianhua feel embarrassed. She blushed slightly for a moment and declined softly, "No need, I'll practice more on my own."
Lu Baichuan didn't think anything of it at first, but when he saw Lianhua blush, he realized something was amiss.
He had heard his wife say before that there was something fishy about the two kids, and he used to think she was just talking nonsense. But now it seems that his wife is right; she has such a sharp eye.
With that thought in mind, Lu Baichuan turned around and went to instruct his son, making room for the two young people.
Seeing Lu Baichuan looking so energetic, the dog tilted its head and asked, "Daddy, why isn't Mommy up yet? It's almost time for breakfast."
