Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Li Yuening and Xie Shi took out the things not far from the team.

Several baskets of freshly picked fruits were given to Baiyi for distribution, and the newly captured hibiscus noodles were given to Qingyi and Feiyi.

As for the consequences for Furongmian, they don't care at all. People like this deserve to be put to death.

Li Yuening came to Kuishui and stayed in the carriage because she was lazy. Only then did they realize that the father and son were Lu Mingqi and his father Lu Daji.

I originally thought that Lu Mingqi would not come to be a servant, but unexpectedly he followed the team.

"Let them come to see me." Li Yuening said to Xiaosui'er who was fighting with Taozi.

Xiao Sui'er looked hazy and asked, "Who does my lady want to see?"

Li Yuening then remembered that Xiaosui'er, Xian Ge and Tu Xiaoxiao had been in another carriage and had no idea what had happened in the past two days.

Li Yuening changed the subject and asked, "Are these fruits delicious?"

"Delicious. Madam, this peach is soft, glutinous, sweet and juicy.

It is not easy to eat such good fruit in this solar term. "Xiao Sui'er used all the good words she could think of to describe it.

At last, he said with longing: "It would be nice if I could eat it every day..."

After saying this, I felt that I was talking nonsense. It was good enough to have food to eat along the way.

Still wanting to eat fruit every day, Xiao Sui'er lowered his head and ate the fruit without saying anything.

Li Yuening chuckled, "It's not impossible to eat it every day.

If you follow the music and help with the work every day, I will give you a kind of fruit every day, and it will be different from others."

"Really?" Xiao Sui'er's eyes sparkled, "I'll go help you right away."

As if he was afraid that it would be too late and Li Yuening would regret it.

Li Yuening: The little girl is still so gullible!

"Have you thought of something fun?" Xie Shi opened the car curtain and came in.

Li Yuening was seen leaning against the wall of the car, grinning foolishly. On the small table next to her were washed grapes, apples, and peaches...

"I'm laughing at Xiao Sui'er. She's so hardworking for a few fruits." Li Yuening handed a grape to Xie Shi.

"Have you finished dividing everything?"

Xie Shi lowered his head and put the grape into his mouth, squinting his eyes in pleasure, "Well, what Yue Ning gives me is sweet."

"Shao Pin." The carriage started moving slowly. Li Yuening sat up straight and wiped her hands with a handkerchief. "I was just thinking about meeting Lu Mingqi. Why are you on the road so soon?"

Xie Shi sat beside her, straightened the fallen blanket, and let Li Yuening lean on him.

Then he said, "Hurry up while it's still cool, and when the sun rises to noon, find a place to rest, and then let him come to see you.

I asked someone to find out, and his family situation is a bit complicated."

"What do you mean?" Li Yuening placed Xie Shi's hand on her lower abdomen, signaling him to use his spiritual power to relieve her abdominal pain.

Xie Shi chuckled and said slowly: "His father is a carpenter. In addition to Lu Mingqi, there is a pair of children in the family.

Judging from his age, he and the twins are not born from the same mother..."

"Could it be that after his original wife passed away, his father remarried?" Li Yuening frowned slightly.

Although not all stepmothers would abuse their original wives' children, it was not easy to support a scholar in the Jin Dynasty.

From tuition to writing materials and books, all the expenses are very high.

No wonder the old lady has to set up a stall to sell food to make a living despite her advanced age.

"There is a craftsman in their family. Jinling City is rich, and there are many families who need to pick up things every year.

If it weren't for the burden of Lu Mingqi, a scholar, the family's life wouldn't be too difficult.

There wasn't even a decent ox cart for this long journey. There was only a wheelbarrow carrying the mother and her two children, while the other two people could only walk.

Now that I think about it, I can understand why that old woman wanted to commit suicide." Xie Shi couldn't help but sigh.

"The last time I saw him, he was preparing to follow in his father's footsteps. Considering Lu Mingqi's age, he could be an apprentice for a few years. By the time he becomes a master, he will be old enough to get married and have children." Xie Shi said with a sigh.

Li Yuening's heart moved: "So, he doesn't plan to continue studying now?"

Xie Shi nodded: "You are not at home to sleep in the middle of the night, crying alone in front of your grandmother's grave, probably because you feel unhappy.

The old woman kept praising her grandson and had high expectations for Lu Mingqi.

As soon as the old man passed away, he wanted to give up his studies, whether it was because of the pressure from his family or because he was confused and hopeless about the future.

We have all seen how the grandparents and grandchildren get along. He is a filial child. Lu Mingqi must have made a great decision on this matter. "

Li Yuening frowned. She didn't understand why Lu Mingqi made such a choice.

"Is it really worth it for him to give up his future like this?"

Xie Shi pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps this is his helplessness.

His family was poor, and his younger brothers and sisters were young. When his grandmother was alive, he had someone to protect him. We have met Lu Daji, and he is also a filial person.

Even if it was simply to make his mother happy and his son more motivated, Lu Daji would naturally spare no effort.

If there was no imperial decree to relocate, Lu Mingqi would have passed the examination to become a student next year.

Their family's luck might have changed since then, but unfortunately it was all about fate.

Now he has no choice but to give up his studies and become an apprentice, helping his father to earn money to support his family.

After all, there are younger children at home who need to be taken care of.

Continuing to study will only make their current lives even more insecure.

It took Lu Mingqi a lot of courage to make this decision."

Li Yuening sighed, "It's the same old saying, when you're weak you don't even have the chance to choose.

Sacrificing oneself may seem great, but in doing so, one also sacrifices the opportunity to make a comeback. What a pity. "

Xie Shi nodded and said, "When children from poor families face similar choices,

Always consider the feelings and needs of your family more.

But we ignore what we really want to pursue in our hearts.

This helplessness and contradiction often makes people feel painful and confused.

Perhaps that was why he lay awake at night weeping at his grandmother's grave.

At his age, his heart is full of confusion and anxiety about the future, but he has to face the cruel reality.

He didn't know whether this decision was right, but he knew that once he gave up studying,

His father's path is his future."

Li Yuening nodded slightly, expressing her agreement, "This is also the reason why some people want to transcend social class throughout their lives."

"That's right." He continued, "However, from another perspective, Lu Mingqi was able to make such a decision at such a young age.

It shows that he is a responsible person.”

Li Yuening closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth coming from her lower abdomen, "You suddenly said so much, do you want me to sympathize with Lu Mingqi?

I didn’t say that I wouldn’t let him be Yan Bozhou’s servant.”

Li Yuening knew that she and Lu Mingqi were on different sides and could not fully understand his situation.

But she also understands that everyone has their own choices and difficulties, and these are often only truly understood by the parties involved.

Don’t be a troublemaker unless you experience the suffering of others.
