"Fishing! I want to go too!" Lu Nian happily grabbed Li Mofu's clothes and shouted.
Li Mofu yawned and said with precise precision, "What are you fishing for? Have you practiced the calligraphy that Madam asked you to practice? Have you read the books that Madam asked you to read? Have you memorized the articles that Madam asked you to memorize? Have you learned martial arts? Have you exercised? And you're fishing with me, what are you fishing for, you little brat? Go back quickly."
Lu Nianhuan pouted, feeling so wronged that tears were about to come out. "Mammy said we can come out and play."
"That's all a lie. At your age, you should read more, exercise more, and sleep more so that you don't waste your time!" Li Mofu started talking nonsense because he didn't want this little brat to go fishing with him.
Guozi stood aside awkwardly, watching Li Mofu talking nonsense seriously, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Lu Nianhuan's face fell, "Then why don't you read books and exercise?"
"Because - I'm already an adult." Li Mofu said in a long, annoying tone.
Lu Nianhuan is relatively smart, but his cognitive limitations make it difficult for him to tell whether others are teasing him or telling the truth.
"Can you be free when you grow up?" Lu Nianhuan asked with a frown.
Li Mofu suppressed the upward curve of his lips and said, "Of course, when you become an adult you can go fishing."
"Then when can I become an adult?" Lu Nianhuan asked again.
Li Mofu shrugged, "Who knows, maybe you will always be childish."
"What do you mean?" Lu Nianhuan asked with a sad face.
Li Mofu chuckled complacently, "That's right, you don't understand. Just go back to read and sleep, little brat!"
"..." Lu Nianhuan pursed his lips, feeling inexplicably dissatisfied.
Guozi squatted down and said quickly, "Where is the nanny with the young master? Can I take you to find her?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Nianhuan ran away by himself, leaving in a flash.
"I don't know who this little brat's personality resembles. He's always nagging and even at such a young age he's learned to talk back at me!" Li Mofu said unhappily.
Seeing him like this, Guozi couldn't help but laugh, "Sir, why are you arguing with a child? What if he takes it seriously?"
"How is that possible? It's a child's nature to love playing and making trouble. If I can destroy his nature with just a few words, then I'd be pretty awesome." Li Mofu said without any concern.
Guozi looked at Li Mofu helplessly, "Young Master, too. He has fallen so many times here, but he still wants to come."
"I'm just bored." Li Mofu shrugged and walked towards the fishing pond.
Fishing is an outdoor sport that Li Mofu uses to pass the time. Of course, most of the time, Li Mofu lies on a recliner waiting for the fish to bite the hook.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and the New Year is coming soon. Year after year goes by like this." Li Mofu said as he leaned on the recliner and flipped through a book.
Guozi was also sitting on a small stool nearby, fishing. Holding his fishing rod, he sighed and said, "It's going to be lonely during the New Year this year. The old master, the young master, and the second young master are not coming back."
"Wang Ruiyan should have given birth before the New Year this year, right? Her belly looks so big." Li Mofu said after calculating the time.
Guozi smiled and said, "Yes, this is indeed a happy thing."
Li Mofu sighed as he thought of the months they had spent on the road. "It was hard for that child, he was strong enough to follow us all the way."
"He must be a healthy and strong child." said Guozi.
"By then, there'll be another little brat..." Li Mofu said helplessly, "If anything else happens, we really won't be able to take care of it at all. Let's just hope the war in the northwest border ends soon."
Guozi was silent. It was a good thing that the family had a new baby, but at this time...
Just when both of them were feeling a bit depressed, that little brat Lu Nianhuan came running over again. He angrily accused, "Li Mofu! You're lying! Mammy said I should play when I'm young!"
The sadness that arose in Li Mofu's heart was extinguished by Lu Nianhuan. He originally wanted to shed a few crocodile tears to wash his eyes, but now, he didn't want to cry anymore and even wanted to laugh.
"Li Mofu, you liar!" Lu Nianhuan shouted angrily.
Li Mofu scratched his ears and said, "Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm an adult, not an old man. I'm not deaf yet."
"You bad guy!" Lu Nianhuan was so angry that he punched Li Mofu on the thigh.
Li Mofu rolled his eyes. "Bitter medicine tastes good, honest advice is hard to hear. What does your nanny know? You're still playing around! If you keep playing around, you'll fall behind! What will you say to your father when he comes back and finds you can't do anything?"
"...I can read and do an abacus!" Lu Nianhuan said seriously.
Li Mofu clicked his tongue a few times, "That's not enough~"
Seeing that Li Mofu still wanted to continue teasing Lu Nianhuan, Guozi had no choice but to stand up and say, "Alright, alright, young master, come over here and fish. You too, young master, always teasing the kids."
"Alas," Li Mofu shook his head with a hopeless expression, "What I said is clearly the truth, and I don't want to tease him."
Lu Nianhuan sat on Guozi's small stool and hummed twice to express his dissatisfaction with Li Mofu, his little face puffed up with anger.
Li Mofu was lying on a recliner, reading a book and fishing, while Guozi was beside him taking care of the little kid. As they watched, Li Mofu became sleepy and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
In November, the south of the Yangtze River became much colder, and the sky was gloomy every day. Occasionally, a few rays of sunshine would appear, but they would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
Li Mofu still practices equestrianism, and even takes out some free time to run and exercise.
Wang Ruiyan's due date is approaching, and she's barely leaving the house these days. Even her walks are limited to strolling around the house. For safety reasons, the doctor has been checking her pulse every day.
Far away in the northwest frontier, although Wu Anhou's injury did not take his life, it was impossible for him to lead his soldiers to fight, so he retreated behind the line to command.
Lu Fengning followed Marquis Wu'an and was always ready to lead troops into battle on his behalf.
Lu Mingyun led one-third of the soldiers to leave the base camp due to the division of the battle situation.
