At home, they basically don't have to worry about the children except at night, so after leaving the space, seeing that the children showed no signs of waking up, they left the house.

Almost as soon as they saw them, Lin Qing and Li Jinhua went to their house one after another.

Sometimes it is inevitable that a young couple will do something intimate in the house. Even if the elders miss their grandchildren, it is not appropriate for them to disturb the young couple all day long.

But it’s different during the day. The young couple has their own things to do every day, and the children are so young that they cannot be left alone. How can they, as elders, feel at ease if they don’t watch them with their own eyes?

It’s not that they want to enter and leave the younger generation’s house at will, but they are really worried!

Xiao Li and Lu Yuan had long been accustomed to this. In the beginning, they even allowed their elders to enter and leave their house freely when they were not there. After all, there was nothing particularly important in the house.

Most people might hide some things in their house, such as gold, silver, and jewelry, but Xiao Li and Lu Yuan have no need to do so.

In addition to some things used in daily life and some things that have been exposed, things like gold, silver and jewelry are still in Xiao Li's warehouse. Even Lu Yuan's small treasury was given to him to keep in the space.

Of course, in order to conceal their tracks, they also placed some silver and banknotes in the house. As for jewelry, they were only some that Lu Yuan would often use.

While the elders at home were worrying about the children, Xiao Li accompanied Lu Yuan out.

Not long after they left the house, they saw a number of people walking towards the school. There were older children carrying school bags on their backs, younger children accompanied by their parents, and some who were brought there by their grandparents...

If it was a weekday when there were fewer people around, everyone would have noticed Xiao Li and Lu Yuan long ago, and would have greeted them one by one.

Perhaps it was because today was the school's official lecture day, perhaps it was because there were a lot of people coming and going, or perhaps it was because everyone's attention was on the school and the students, so as Xiao Li and the others walked along the way, few people noticed them.

If it were a normal day, Lu Yuanguang might feel thirsty after responding to other people's greetings after walking all the way. But now he was in such a good condition that he couldn't help but relax.

Hearing his relieved voice, Xiao Li found it amusing, "What else does our courageous young husband have to be afraid of?"

"Who doesn't have something to fear?" Lu Yuan was a little unconvinced. "Besides, when did I become so bold? Don't slander me, or I'll file a complaint!"

"Complain?" Xiao Li raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Who are you complaining to? Grandpa and grandma? Or Third Uncle? You can't be complaining to Baoer and Baobao, right?"

"Who do you care who I'm complaining to?" Lu Yuan was just bluffing. After saying that, she quickened her pace guiltily and urged him to hurry up. "What are you doing? You're so slow! Even a baby walks faster than you!"

"Yuan'er, do you feel guilty for saying that?" Xiao Li quickly caught up with her, laughing as he walked, "Besides, Yuan'er, do you really think that the baby walks faster than me?"

Little Ruixue does walk quite fast, but she is easily distracted. Often, she can walk a short distance quickly, but she is easily distracted by other things and then she will be delayed for who knows how long.

The reason why he didn't get lost when he went out of the village every day was entirely because he had his brother Xiao Ruijing by his side. There must have been adults in the family watching nearby, otherwise he would have lost himself without anyone stealing.

Fortunately, the little guy is now one year older and has become a little more "stable" than before. At least he can't divert his attention as easily as before.

Of course, it may also be related to what they saw and heard during their trip for more than half a year.

Even though Xiao Li tried his best to protect his husband and children, there were some things that he could not prevent them from seeing just because he did not want them to.

Like refugees encountered on the road who instinctively seek help, like those extremely vicious and evil people who have committed countless evil deeds who set their sights on them, like those with ulterior motives who target children who are profitable...

"I didn't." Lu Yuan curled her lips, accustomed to his "picking on me" and feeling extremely helpless.

He couldn't understand why, after all these years, his husband still loved teasing him so much. He wasn't a child anymore, and yet he was always teasing him like a child. It was a sweet yet painful burden...

"Okay, you didn't." Xiao Li looked at him gently.

For some reason, Lu Yuan suddenly felt like she was being unreasonable. But it was clearly her husband who was being unreasonable, so why did she have this misconception? It was really annoying.

Just as he was about to think about this carefully, Lin Qian, who was walking from the fork in the road, saw them, stopped, and bowed politely to them, "Greetings, gentlemen."

"No need to be so polite." Lu Yuan thought he was a teacher, so he quickly suppressed the thoughts on his face and imitated Xiao Li's usual expression of an expressionless face.

But then she thought, he is going to teach students. If he really has a stern face every day like her husband, the students will probably be afraid of him. They may not dare to ask him for help when they don't understand something in the future. This is not acceptable.

His face was serious for just a moment before it softened again. "Did you come to the academy by yourself today?"

Lin Qian nodded, glanced nervously at Xiao Li beside him, and then said, "My mother-in-law had to go to the fields to work, so I came here by myself. I have memorized all the main roads in the village, and my mother-in-law knows them."

"That's good." The theater nodded. "If there are any difficulties at home, remember to tell us."

Most people can't help but feel sympathy for vulnerable groups when they have the energy to do so. What's more, Lu Yuan has a subtle sense of "empathy" for him and can't help but pay more attention to him.

"Thank you, sir." Lin Qian bowed and then said, "You and Mr. Xiao have helped me a lot. Everything is fine at home now."

When they met at the school that day, although he could feel that Mr. Xiao was not very satisfied with him, when they left, Mr. Xiao told him that if he was interested, he could go to the mansion to find him and do odd jobs for him, and his monthly salary would be based on how much work he did.

He knew that Mr. Xiao gave him this opportunity because of his husband, but he was still grateful to Mr. Xiao.

This might be his fastest chance to make a name for himself. As long as he could catch Mr. Xiao's eye now, he would always be able to find new opportunities even if he had no future.

The fear is that there is no chance at the beginning, and it will take an unknown amount of time to endure hardships.

"That's good." Lu Yuan smiled. "Since you're also going to the academy, why don't you come with us?"

If it were someone else, they would be nervous at this time. After all, this is a rare teacher who teaches them, and it doesn't cost any money. It's probably like pie falling from the sky.

But now it was Lin Qian who was being questioned, so he was naturally not nervous. Instead, he was very happy in his heart. However, in order to appear more stable, he restrained himself from smiling.

"Yes, sir." He thought he was very restrained and didn't let the two gentlemen notice, but he didn't know that Lu Yuan didn't care about it. Xiao Li saw through it completely but didn't say it out loud.

"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded calmly, then glanced at Xiao Li and started walking forward.

When passing by Lin Qian, Xiao Li raised his hand and gently patted the child's shoulder, "Study hard, your teacher values you very much."

Of course, he had asked someone to check Lin Qian's background before this. Even if there were some minor troubles, it would not affect them, so the key point was that he could let the other party stay by his side so happily.

If they really were someone with ulterior motives or ill intentions, he would have made them regret provoking them long ago.

If you really look into it, Lin Qian is actually a person with ulterior motives. However, Xiao Li doesn't really care about those little thoughts as long as they don't threaten their family.

Regardless of how well things were done, Xiao Li actually admired Lin Qian's ambition to move up the ladder.

He had a grudge against his partner, was only eight years old, and was only five years old when the accident happened. Even for him, if he had not had all the experiences in the past, he would not dare to say that he would have performed better than the other party.

Even compared to myself who didn't know who to take revenge on back then, the other party is much braver and luckier.

It’s hard to say whether Xiao Li was willing to give him such a chance because he thought of his young and helpless self.

Lin Qian has seen him several times recently, but each time he acted very cold, as if he didn't care about him. Xiao Li's attitude once made him think that the other party actually didn't like him.

But the person he thought didn't like him actually patted him on the shoulder and said words of encouragement to him. How could he not be shocked?

Because of shock, he was speechless for a while. It was not until Xiao Li and his wife had walked forward a short distance that he couldn't help but smile and quickly caught up with them.

But when he was about to walk behind them, he suddenly remembered that his behavior was very unstable. He quickly suppressed the obvious smile on his face and followed behind the two of them step by step.

Lu Yuan and Xiao Li were talking and did not notice the movement behind them. Xiao Li heard it but did not turn around.

Children cannot control their thoughts well, so it is understandable that they always express themselves in various places.

When they arrived in front of the school, they both stopped at the same time and looked at the plaque hanging on the door. On it were four large characters written in a flamboyant style: Lingyun School.

If anyone serving in the imperial court and familiar with the handwriting of that person saw these words, they would definitely be shocked.

Not only does a small village have a school, but it also received such a generous plaque as a reward. What an honor it is!

With this plaque around, any foolish person would have to think twice before doing anything, right? If those were people he disliked but couldn't find a chance to deal with them, wouldn't that just give him the opportunity to deal with them?

Speaking of which, the academies and private schools outside only accept men, but Mingyuan Academy accepts all children. If this were to get to the mouths of those Confucian scholars who have been following rules all their lives, I'm afraid everyone would spit and drown the academy.

However, with the plaque sent by that person, who can say anything? What dares to say anything? If you really say something without knowing the truth, I am afraid your future career will be in jeopardy! At least now that that person is still in office, it is still uncertain whether you can be reused.

If Xiao Li had not intervened, that person would have lost his life. Unfortunately, there was Yu Qingshan, an "old Taoist priest" who was concerned about the country and the people. Not only was that person alive and well, but he was also very energetic.

In other words, he was too old to be interested in women and focused most of his attention on state affairs. Otherwise, who knows how many children he would have had by now.

The other party specifically asked Yu Qingshan through Taoist Qingxu, and learned the name of the school from him, and then asked Yu Qingshan to deliver the plaque. It is really hard to say whether it was because of the help he provided or because of his "life-saving grace".

Apart from Xiao Li, only Yu Qingshan, who delivered the gift, knew who came up with the words on the plaque. The others, including Lu Yuan, just thought that the words on the plaque were very impressive.

The young husband raised his head, his eyes blazing as he looked at the words "Mingyuan Academy". He was filled with energy and said, "Husband, I will definitely become a good teacher!"

The matter is still undecided. If those sour scholars heard a young man speak so arrogantly, they would probably laugh out loud on the spot.

The one who hears his "lofty ambitions" nowadays is the person who loves him the most. Even if he can't do it, he won't say anything to hurt her.

Besides, Xiao Li believed that his young husband could do it, "Well, Yuan'er will be a good husband."

Just like being a good husband and a good father, his little husband never disappoints.

"Don't you want to say something?" The young man turned his head to look at him, blinking his beautiful eyes at him, the hint couldn't be more obvious.

Xiao Li looked at him with amusement for a while, and then smiled gently before the young man puffed up his cheeks, "I believe that Yuan'er will definitely be the best husband in the world in the future."

Even though his Yuan'er didn't have the ambition to help the world, he just wanted to do his best to give more opportunities to the girls and boys who belonged to the same disadvantaged groups as him.

Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. Everything is difficult at the beginning. He didn't know how many people's interests his actions had violated, nor did he know that this was a challenge to the rules of the world today. He just wanted to do what he thought he could do.

If Mingyuan School continues to operate smoothly, more and more places will be affected in the future. Slowly, other schools that accept girls and boys will appear, and those private schools and academies will probably be affected in the long run.

As a leader who ushered in a new era, how could he not be considered the best gentleman?

Lu Yuan had no idea what he was thinking, but just looking at him with eyes that were so gentle that they seemed to suck her in, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster. She whispered, "You only know how to make me happy," and then she quickly walked into the school as if running away.

Xiao Li did not deny it and followed behind with a gentle look.

Not far behind, Lin Qian watched the two of them interacting thoughtfully.

If his father and little father were still alive, would they be as loving and affectionate as these two gentlemen?
