"Niannian~ Look! That's a bee~"

"Osmanthus fragrans!"

"Little squirrel!"

……

There was only one little guy talking, but it gave people a very lively feeling.

Xiao Li sat near the car door to prevent some overly lively kid from slipping out when the adults weren't paying attention.

Lu Yuan sat in the main seat, looking at the three little guys with gentle eyes, touching their backs from time to time to see if they were sweating, and asking them if they were thirsty or hungry every now and then.

When he asked the three little ones again and still received denials, which made him feel a little self-doubtful, Xiao Li folded his arms in front of his chest and looked at him with a half-smile, "Yuan'er, why didn't you ask me if I was thirsty or hungry? Is it because we've been together for so long that our feelings have faded?"

"...What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child again!" Lu Yuan originally felt that her efforts were useless, but when he asked her this, her face slowly began to turn red.

Ultimately, it's a matter of being thin-skinned. From the day he met Xiao Li, he has never seen Xiao Li have a sense of shame.

Little Ruijing glanced at his two fathers who were showing their affection, then looked at his two younger brothers. When he saw that Little Ruixue's attention was out the car window, he turned his attention to Little Jingnian.

Like him, little Jingnian was also attracted by the voices of his two fathers and turned to look at them.

But his reactions have always been slow, and even his thinking seemed to be half a beat slower than others. Before he could figure out what the fathers were talking about, his vision suddenly went dark and he could not see anything.

Little Jingnian instinctively reached out to touch the object blocking his view, and then he felt an equally warm, fleshy palm.

He tilted his head in confusion, "Brother?"

"Yes, brother is here." Xiao Ruijing turned him around, pressed him into his arms, and covered his other ear with his free hand. "Brother, can you play a game with Nian Nian?"

Little Jingnian's sight was free again. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded obediently, "Okay."

Little Ruijing didn't really want to play games with him, he just felt that it was inappropriate to look at or listen to anything inappropriate.

Because he was Xiao Li's eldest son, Shen Congzhou used the same methods as children from aristocratic families to educate him. So even though he was only four years old, he already understood a lot of things.

Because Xiao Jingnian and Xiao Ruixue are little brothers, and Xiao Li asked Shen Congzhou for help, Shen Congzhou did not have high requirements for the two little brothers.

Therefore, even though they were apprentices taught by the same teacher, there were huge differences between the three little guys.

Little Jingnian is better. He is a quiet person, probably because of his biological parents. He likes reading and listening to stories, and is also interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Little Ruixue was not so good. The little guy was very smart. After knowing that Shen Congzhou was always tolerant of him, he started to act like a spoiled child and took advantage of the situation during the lectures. He would listen when he was interested, and would just lie on the small table and fall asleep when he was not interested.

Even so, Shen Congzhou did not wake him up. Instead, he lowered his voice when lecturing so as not to wake him up.

They were staying right between the two adults, so even if Lu Yuan wanted to pretend not to see them, she couldn't.

Seeing Xiao Ruijing's behavior, what else did he not know? His son must have known what bad behavior and bad words were!

He gritted his teeth in anger, glaring at Xiao Li with glaring eyes, "You're so dishonest all day long. What if Jing'er learns bad habits after seeing you?"

What if, when he grows up, he becomes a scoundrel and flirts with girls and boys? Wouldn't that make him look like an uneducated and uncultured playboy?

"What is Yuan'er worried about?" Xiao Li was truly helpless with his husband. He held little Ruijing in his arms and sighed meaningfully, "Our Jing'er is such a fussy kid. Do you think he'll ever have the day you're worried about?"

Lu Yuan: ???

Lu Yuan: ...

Lu Yuan thought about it carefully and found...

It was really as he said. With Jing'er's self-disciplined and polite appearance, would he really do anything out of line in the future?

To put it nicely, this is called self-discipline and restoration of rituals; to put it bluntly, this is called being old-fashioned.

Lu Yuan put her old-fashioned personality into Xiao Li, and then imagined that she had met that kind of Xiao Li, and then...

Then there was no more.

If Xiao Li was really that kind of person, he would not have agreed to his "repay a favor" so easily. He even didn't tell the truth to his elders at home from beginning to end, giving him enough face.

If he is truly a self-disciplined and respectful gentleman, I might be very grateful to him at that time, but I probably won't marry him.

Even though the Xiao family's life was not necessarily good in the beginning, Xiao Li was a scholar. As long as he continued to take the exams, he would become a juren or jinshi. Not only could he marry a girl or boy from the city, he could even marry a girl or boy from a scholar's family.

After all, it was because he had good taste that he picked such a good husband at first sight!

Lu Yuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, but when she saw little Ruijing's gentlemanly demeanor, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart: Will Jinger really become a big old-fashioned person when he grows up?

If that's the case, will there be any girls or boys who really want to live with him in the future?

Lu Yuan couldn't believe it. She felt a little sad and snorted at Xiao Li unhappily.

Xiao Li: “???”

Why are you glaring at him again?
