Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 19 Naming
In the early morning, Lu Youqing saw that Qin Ke was still sleeping, so she didn't wake him up. She got out of bed quietly and closed the door for him gently before leaving.
He had been going out early and coming back late recently, and was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed and touched the pillow after dinner.
After such a busy period of time, it would be better to let him have a good rest.
Although they were husband and wife in public, Lu Youqing knew that he had never done anything inappropriate towards her.
Qin Ke, who had abused her in the first two days after she was bought home, seemed like a different person. Many times, Lu Youqing would wonder if those two days were a nightmare. She could never regard the person in front of her as the same person as the previous one.
Although they are not a real couple, Qin Ke gives her enough respect and care, so she will also assume the responsibilities of a wife.
"Ms. Lu, wake up. I've already got some water."
When Lu Youqing went out, he found that Li Danniu was already busy in the yard. Basically, when Lu Youqing and his family got up every day, Li Danniu was already busy in their house. She was very diligent.
"Well, Qin Ke is still sleeping. Don't wake him up yet. Let him have a good rest. You should also take a break. These things are not urgent." Lu Youqing greeted with a smile.
"It's okay. I've been free lately." Li Danniu continued to chop wood, chatting while busying herself: "Madam Lu, you are so gentle. You and Mr. Qin are the most perfect couple I have ever seen."
"Really?" Lu Youqing was a little surprised. She had never thought that other people would see her and Qin Ke in this way.
"Yes, the Qin family is reluctant to let you go to the fields. You rush to do all the dirty and tiring work at home. This is unique in the village. You don't know that the other ladies in the village are jealous of you."
Lu Youqing lowered her eyes thoughtfully. She had been pampered since she was a child, used to having everything provided for her, and she didn't realize that this could also be something to be envied.
Li Danniu is quick and skillful, and can clean the yard in no time. There is really not much to do nowadays, but she always feels uneasy about receiving such a large monthly salary.
Li Da Nv, who had nothing to do, sat opposite Lu Youqing, holding her chin with her hand and watching her write.
The lighting in the room was poor, and Qin Ke was worried that she would damage her eyes from always copying books, so she ordered a desk and chair from a carpenter and placed them in the shade of the yard.
It is April now and the temperature has risen. It is neither too cold nor too hot. It is just right for reading and writing in the yard.
"By the way, big girl, let me teach you how to write your name." Lu Youqing occasionally looked up and saw Li big girl staring at the pen in her hand with a look of longing and envy, so she suddenly had an idea.
"Really?" Li Danniu opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Lu Youqing nodded with a smile and said affirmatively: "Of course, don't you envy those scholars? It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I will teach you how to write."
Li Danniu was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
"Come, let's learn your last name first." Lu Youqing took out a piece of paper and placed it between the two of them. He slowed down his movements and explained it to her stroke by stroke.
Li Danniu cherishes this learning opportunity very much. Knowing that it is hard-won, she stares at her wrist movements without blinking, and her right index finger slides on the table following Lu Youqing's strokes.
"And your name..."
"Ms. Lu, I... I have a small wish, can I ask for your help?" Li Danniu suddenly spoke, looking a little embarrassed.
"What is it? Tell me about it."
"My mother said that before I was born, my family thought I was a son, and my father asked people to give me several names, but... later those names were no longer useful, so they just casually called me this one." Li Dani's tone gradually became depressed as she spoke, "You are the most educated person I have ever met, so I thought you could help me choose a name."
Lu Youqing was silent for a while.
Yes, this world is so difficult for women. They are never given high hopes and even their names are casually called. After they get married, they lose their own names.
They were the daughters of someone, became someone's wife after marriage, and became someone's mother after giving birth. Throughout their lives, they were vassals of others but had never been themselves.
"There are fine trees in the south, and a gentleman should be like them; there are fine trees in the south, and they grow into a forest in ten years. Li Nanqiao, how are you? I hope you can be tenacious, upright and responsible."
Instead of just being a good wife and mother and taking care of the housework.
Li Da Niu didn't understand the meaning of the two lines of poetry that Lu Youqing said, but she understood the next sentence. She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed: "Nan Qiao, this name is good, I like this name, and I will be called Li Nan Qiao from now on."
Seeing her happy look, Lu Youqing also laughed. When she laughed, her eyes would bend and there seemed to be amber lakes in them.
Unlike Qin Ke's dark eyes, her eyes are lighter in color, amber, and they look particularly gentle when she smiles.
Qin Ke rubbed his eyes hazily, and this was the scene he saw after he opened the door.
"What are you talking about? So happy?"
"You're awake. Eat something first. I'll heat it up in the pot and I'll bring it to you." Lu Youqing stood up.
"I'll serve it!"
But the one who moved faster was Li Da Nv, no, now she should be called Li Nanqiao, she stood up and rushed into the kitchen.
Qin Ke simply washed his face and sat opposite Lu Youqing to eat. While drinking porridge, he continued to ask, "What were you laughing at just now?"
"Mr. Qin, it was Madam Lu who just gave me a new name. Now I have a new name. From now on, I will be called Li Nanqiao. She also taught me how to write my name. Look!" After getting the new name, Li Nanqiao couldn't wait to show his new name and showed Qin Ke the name that Lu Youqing had just written.
"My lady, you have great literary talent." Qin Ke swallowed the porridge in his mouth and gave Lu Youqing a thumbs up.
Lu Youqing didn't quite understand the meaning of this action, but she could guess that it was a compliment. She just lowered her eyebrows and smiled, but she didn't expect Qin Ke to bring the topic to her the next second.
"But my wife is so partial. She hasn't even taught me how to write."
Lu Youqing looked at his expression of pretending to be wronged, his eyelashes fluttering, his dark eyes staring straight at her. Somehow, she felt her ears a little hot, and she turned her head uncomfortably to avoid his focused gaze, touched her ears, and whispered, "Can't you write your own name?"
"But my lady has seen how terrible my handwriting is, and I can only write my own name. I don't care, I want my lady to teach me how to read and write."
Lu Youqing has become accustomed to his occasional childishness, and he would occasionally act coquettishly with her.
But Li Nanqiao had never seen such a scene. Standing aside and watching the whole process, Li Nanqiao opened her mouth in surprise. She never thought that Qin Ke, who was fighting and violent outside and mature and steady, would be like this at home.
