After hoarding billions of goods and traveling through the book, he farmed in another world to suppo

After discussion as a family, they finally decided to do what Lu Yuan said: live in the city half of the month and live on the farm half of the time.

Because Xiao Li and the others had just returned, and Xiao Shugen and the others had lived in the city for more than half a year, everyone unanimously decided to live in the manor for the time being. This way, Lu Yuan could also take care of the school affairs.

Everyone came back in carriages along the way. Except for those who drove and rode horses, the others were not too tired, so after dinner, everyone decided to go out for a walk.

Chu Yang and the others said something to Xiao Li and headed towards the city.

They had been in the north before, and finally came to the south, and to a place like Beijing, so they had to have a good look around.

In addition, Chu Yang also planned to go to the city to inquire about some information. He couldn't just come here and do nothing.

Since the three little guys were being taken out to play by their uncle, they didn't need Xiao Li and the others to accompany them all the time. Only little Jingnian couldn't help but look back frequently when being led by Baoer, looking in their direction reluctantly.

Without waiting for them to say anything to comfort the little guy, Xiao Ruijing had already skillfully pulled the little guy's other hand and whispered something in his ear. Then the little guy smiled and nodded at him.

The four little guys went out to play hand in hand. Xiao Li and Lu Yuan walked far behind them until they were no longer on the way and then parted ways with them.

They were going to visit the school, after all, Lu Yuan would be a teacher there in the future.

It is midsummer now, and the crops in the fields are lush and green. They will be ready for harvest in a month or so.

Lu Yuan touched the heavy rice ears by the roadside and couldn't help but sigh, "When I was little, I always hoped that the fields would produce more so that I could have enough food and clothes. Later, as I grew up, these thoughts gradually disappeared, but I never expected..."

He glanced sideways at the tall and handsome man beside him, "Husband, it's great to meet you!"

"I should be the one saying this." Xiao Li smiled and ruffled his hair. Before the young husband got angry, he straightened his hair again, not giving him the chance to get angry. "It is my great fortune to meet you."

Lu Yuan was the first person he met in his life who was devoted to him and had only eyes for him. She gave him a complete home in this strange world.

Meeting him was the luckiest thing in Xiao Li's life.

Lu Yuan knew that Yu Qingshan had told his fortune, but he didn't know Xiao Li's past life experience, and Xiao Li had no intention of telling him.

The young man was a gentle and sensitive person. If he heard those things, he would probably feel sad and distressed. He couldn't bear to see his young husband crying under the bed.

"You only know how to make me happy." Lu Yuan spoke with disdain, but her actions were very honest. She held his hand tightly and shook it, looking very happy.

"Isn't it my duty to make my husband happy?" Xiao Li turned sideways and looked at him with a smile.

"You're so smooth-talking!" Lu Yuan turned his face to the other side, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"My husband is right." Xiao Li did not deny it when he sensed the happy aura from him.

Besides, he always accepted everything given to him by his young husband.

As the two of them were bickering sweetly, time seemed to pass by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye they arrived in front of the completed school.

The heavy door of the blue brick and tile house is now open, and a thin figure is sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.

Lu Yuan blinked at the man's back and asked, "What's the matter with this kid?"

Xiao Li didn't need to answer him. The child turned around after hearing the noise. When he saw them, he was slightly startled. Then he nervously clenched the broom in his hand and said, "Boss, boss' husband."

The child looked to be no more than ten years old. He was wearing a shirt with sleeves and trouser legs that were obviously torn, and puddings piled on top of puddings, but it was very clean.

The child was skinny, but unlike most children in the village, he had delicate features and fair skin. He looked frail, as if he had not seen the sun for years, and he looked very healthy.

Lu Yuan had never seen him on the farm before. "Whose child are you from? Why are you sweeping the floor here now?"

The child glanced at Xiao Li, and seeing that he didn't say anything and didn't mean to drive him away, he answered Lu Yuan's question: "My dear husband, I am not from the village, but my family rented the land there. I am the grandson adopted by Granny Wang from Shanghe Village.

In the past, it was my grandmother who came to the farm to work. When I was at home, I only saw the boss and his husband from afar. You and the boss had never seen me.

I know the classroom is used for teaching us, so I thought I would clean it before the teacher starts teaching."

He didn't say more. Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know, and he has them too.

Lu Yuan nodded to show that she understood, "Does your grandma know that you come here to work?"

"She knows. I tell her every time I go out." Lin Qian thought for a moment and added, "That's what my mother-in-law meant. She said it was the Dong family and Dong's husband who gave us the opportunity to study. I should do more work to repay them."

In fact, there is more than that. The mother-in-law also said that as long as he can be valued by the boss and his husband, he may be able to work for the boss in the future. Life will always be better than guarding that little piece of land.

However, from what he had heard about the Dong family and the Dong family's husband, as well as his previous experiences, he intuitively felt that the Dong family and the Dong family's husband might not like people who approached them with a purpose.

In other words, it's not just them who dislike such people. Most people may not like others who approach them with a purpose if they know that they do so.

Even if it is someone you once liked and admired, you may abandon him/her after knowing that the other person initially approached you with a purpose.

Even if you don't give up on the other person directly, with such a gap, you may not continue to value each other in the future.

He didn't want to end up like that, and he didn't want much. He just wanted an opportunity, a chance to move up.

However, what he didn't know was that the little thoughts he thought he had hidden well were nothing in front of Xiao Li.

The various types of human nature that Xiao Li had seen in the end of the world were enough to make him see clearly through most people in this world.

Moreover, although the child tried his best to hide it and his expression did not show anything obviously wrong, the fact that he subconsciously paid attention to Xiao Li's attitude actually proved that he was not really as simple as he appeared.

However, even though he saw through it, Xiao Li did not expose his thoughts, nor did he remind Lu Yuan, allowing him to contact the other party.

Uninformed Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel soft-hearted after hearing his words, "Are you and your mother-in-law the only ones in your family?"

Lin Qian nodded. "There were only my mother-in-law and I at home. Her son died while doing corvée labor when I arrived home. Her daughter-in-law later remarried, and then my mother-in-law found me on the roadside."

This situation is even more difficult than when Lu Yuan had not yet married Xiao Li. An elderly widower and a sickly teenager, their situation is even worse than his little dad's at the time.

Although the Lu family kept them at home so that they could work like slaves, it was undeniable that it was safer for such a large family to live together than for him and his little dad to go out and find another place to live. They also didn't have to worry about outsiders bullying them openly.

If a child like this lives in a village, it would be fine if the villagers are easy to get along with, but I am afraid that there will be those who bully the weak, those who are greedy, and others who want to use their clan to oppress others. I don’t know how difficult life would be in that situation.

"Then you..." Lu Yuan knew how hard life was without a man at home, and she looked at Lin Qian with a bit more concern. "You don't have to do these. When the school starts teaching in the future, everyone will take turns cleaning. You don't have to do so much by yourself."

Lin Qian shook his head, his face still unopened, full of determination, "It's not hard. The boss and his husband gave me the opportunity to study. This is just a small thing that I can do. It's not hard.

If I really want to go to a private school, I don’t know how much money it will cost. Now this little thing is not a big deal.”

If he still had the same status as before, let alone learning to read and write, he could even invite a teacher to his home to give him lessons, but that was not the case.

He is no longer a well-fed and well-clothed young master. He is the grandson picked up by Grandma Wang from Shanghe Village. For Grandma Wang, it is unaffordable for him to send him to school.

Before hearing about this, he had never thought that he would have such an opportunity, and he had never revealed his desire to make a name for himself to his mother-in-law. But after knowing that there was such an opportunity, his mother-in-law immediately wanted him to come here to study and learn to read and have a good future in the future.

Others have given him opportunities, and if possible, he still hopes that he can do something for the other party, so that his sense of guilt will be alleviated a little.

After all, he now owed his mother-in-law too much. He hadn't even paid back what he owed her, so how could he continue to owe favors to others? His father had taught him that one shouldn't...

Thinking of his dead father, a hint of sadness and longing flashed in Lin Qian's eyes, but before Lu Yuan noticed, his expression returned to normal.

Xiao Li noticed it, and stared at him thoughtfully for a moment, then looked away without any intention of investigating further.

As for Lu Yuan, after hearing what the other person said, she also realized that this was a child with a strong sense of self-esteem, so she did not continue the topic, but asked him: "What's your name? How old are you this year?"

"Lin Qian, eight years old this year."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Only eight years old? I thought..." Looking at the other person's stature, which was about the same height as a ten-year-old child, she was a little curious, "Have you always been taller than other children since you were a child?"

Having probably experienced the same situation before, Lin Qian was accustomed to his surprise. He nodded and said, "As far as I can remember, I've been taller than most children my age. It might be because my father and my little uncle are both quite tall."

"You... do you still remember your father and your little daddy?" Lu Yuan remembered that he had just said that he was picked up.

Since he remembered his family, why didn't he try to go back home, but was adopted by Granny Wang as an orphan? Did something happen at home?

Hearing this, Lin Qian's grip on the broom suddenly tightened, his eyelids drooping, hiding the complex expression in his eyes, "My little daddy was injured when he gave birth to me, and he passed away within two years.

I don't remember much about my little daddy. I only remember that he was very tall and gentle. The rest was told to me by my father. My dad...he encountered bandits when I was four years old. I was lucky enough to survive under his protection. I fainted on the roadside while fleeing and was finally picked up by my mother-in-law and brought back to Shanghe Village.

After knowing what happened to me, my mother-in-law asked me if I wanted to go home. I didn’t want to go home, so she asked me to stay at home and be her grandson.

......"

Lin Qian said a lot one after another, which made Lu Yuan's eyes full of tears. She turned sideways and wiped her tears several times with a handkerchief.

When Xiao Li wanted to go see him, he was pushed away. He heard the young man's depressed voice from behind, "He must have encountered something bad, so he doesn't want to go home. Maybe, maybe..."

Lu Yuan couldn't bring himself to say some of his bad guesses. Some people said he was judging others by his own mean standards, or that his thoughts were too dark. He felt that if a child of only a few years old didn't notice something, why would he not want to go home, but stay in an unfamiliar place?

Moreover, Lin Qian was only four years old when he experienced all this, which is about the same age as Bao Bao and the others. He couldn't imagine what would happen to the remaining children if something happened to him and his husband?

He knew that his grandparents and his third uncle were all very good people, but he felt sorry for his own children. Just thinking about several children becoming fatherless made him feel like he could hardly breathe.

Xiao Li quickly hugged him in his arms, gently patted his back and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Yuan'er, these things will not happen to our family, I promise."

As for what Yu Qingshan said about the two children coming of age...

Who can be sure that things will remain the same after more than a decade? Moreover, fate is so elusive that even Yu Qingshan dare not make a final statement. Who can be sure that what he says is right?

"I know, I'm just a little sad." The young man was in his arms, and his voice was obviously crying.

"Don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up." Xiao Li kissed Lu Yuan in a direction the child couldn't see. Seeing that he was about to struggle, he quickly told him, "Don't worry, Lin Qian didn't see it."

Lin Qian: “…” I didn’t see it, but I heard what you said.

He had thought about gaining the sympathy of his boss' husband, but he had never expected that he would suddenly burst into tears. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I..."

He didn't know what he did wrong, nor did he know how to apologize. He just felt that the boss's husband shouldn't cry.

"No, it's okay. It's none of your business." Lu Yuan's eyes were red from crying. She was embarrassed to face the child, so she pushed Xiao Li and signaled him to solve the problem.

Xiao Li glanced at him helplessly, then looked at Lin Qian with a cold and scrutinizing expression: "Do you just want to learn to read and write? Or do you want to make a name for yourself?"

When Lin Qian almost blurted out the message "I just want to learn to read and write", he said, "Think it over carefully first, you only have one chance."

Hearing this, Lin Qian closed his open lips and looked at him quietly.
