continuation [farming]

Li Mu is going back to the academy tomorrow. He originally asked Li Yun if he wanted to go with him, but Li Yun, who was in a good mood, suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I was too impulsive back then to leave. I even said exaggerated things to my husband at that time, how could I have the face to go back now."

Persuasion was useless, and Li Mu had no choice but to let Li Yun stay.

Li Yun is afraid to see the gentlemen of the academy now, and he doesn't want to see his grandmother and father. Although he was disturbed by Qin Fan, the clan elders did not punish him and did not let Aunt Li leave the ancestral hall. He then lived in the ancestral hall and took care of his mother.Mrs. Li didn't know if it was sincere or just comforting, she even praised him for his filial piety.It made Li Yun feel a little embarrassed. He has done too many bastard things, and every time he goes home, he is either scolded or beaten, or he has to watch his mother cry in his arms. I can't remember when was the last time I was praised up.

When the sun finally set in the west, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.Xia He was still thinking about the fact that Li Yun couldn't sleep at midnight yesterday, so she didn't dare to go out again, so she obediently nestled under the quilt.

Wanting to sleep, but Jin Bao who was lying on the side was dishonest, rolled over suddenly, and stuck his chubby body all over Xia He's face.

Xia He opened his eyes helplessly, removed Jin Bao whose limbs were on his head, and stuffed it under the quilt again.Looking at Jin Bao's sparkling eyeballs, she was in good spirits, and sighed in her heart, fearing that the doll slept too much just now and could not sleep now.

If Jin Bao didn't sleep, he needed someone to play with him, otherwise he would lie there alone, and soon he would burst into tears.Xia He could only hug Jin Bao, pat him on the back lightly, and coax him well.Seeing that Jin Bao wanted to eat his finger, he took it out of his mouth, but he didn't watch it. The little guy grabbed the corner of the quilt again and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xia He was pulled out again, and stared at Jin Bao firmly, but couldn't help feeling drowsy for a while, before long, his head tilted and fell to the side.

Jin Bao didn't know what was going on, all he knew was that his little aunt didn't want to pay any attention to him, and arched Xia He's arms twice like a worm, but didn't push Xia He up, and after a while, he let out a "wow" , cried.

Xia He's ear was pressed to the side, was shocked, and finally woke up again.

He frowned, and looked angry at Xiao Jinbao: "How many times has my little aunt told you, it's not because she's hungry or peed, don't cry, crying is not a good child."

Little Jinbao responded by crying harder.

Don't expect this seven or eight-month-old milk baby to be sensible, Xia He is just talking, after a sigh, he can only hug Jin Bao again, and continue to coax Jin Bao until he is tired from crying, Xia He takes himself Wipe the corner of his clothes for him, and after another look, the little devil finally fell asleep.

Xia He yawned and felt relieved.

Staring for an unknown amount of time, Xia He felt that he was soundly asleep, and Jin Bao started crying again.

Looking at the time this time, I'm afraid it's time to urinate, Xia He has nothing to do, no matter how lazy or sleepy, she can only crawl out of the bed and go to find the diapers that she has prepared long ago to change into.Just after changing it, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.

"Who?" Xia He asked, holding Jin Bao.

"...It's me." Hearing the voice, it was actually Li Mu.

Xia He was a little surprised why Li Mu was still up, but since Li Mu was knocking on the door, he opened it without any hesitation.Li Mu was holding an oil lamp outside the door, he was unprepared when he saw Xia He in his underwear.

Li Mu quickly turned his head and said: "Although it is a summer night, but it is cold at night after all, you should put on your outer shirt when you go out of the house."

Xia He touched his nose and said, "Oh, then wait for me." Then, he closed the door again.

Li Mu, who was shut out without warning, looked at the dark door and sighed quietly.After waiting for a while, Xia He opened the door again, and asked, "Master, it's so late, what can I do for you?"

"I can't sleep today. I heard that Jin Bao cried several times. Let's take a look." Li Mu said.

Xia He thought that he was worried about Jin Bao, so he said: "It's okay, he just peed, I have already changed the diaper, he should go to bed now."

As soon as the words were said, Jin Bao, who still had round black grape-like eyeballs in the room, seemed to hear his aunt talking about him and wanted to fight against him, and burst into tears.

Xia He: "..." Jinbao is weird tonight, I haven't seen him so noisy for a long time.

Li Mu laughed suddenly, shook his head and said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

Naturally, Jin Bao was fine, when he saw his aunt, he opened his arms to hug him, and when he saw Li Mu, he put his head into Xia He's arms as if he didn't see it.As soon as Xia He picked up Jin Bao, the little baby stopped crying, he patted it twice, curled his lips, and said: "Perhaps this baby knows that his father is at home today and came to see me, so that's why he can't sleep? Jin Bao, do you think so?" Jin Bao naturally wouldn't answer, he dug his head deeper into Xia He's arms, and with this movement, Xia He's words just now seemed extraordinarily false.

Li Mu put down the oil lamp and touched Jin Bao's head.The unique softness of the little doll warmed his heart a lot.

Xia He suddenly said: "Sanggong didn't smile tonight, but he finally laughed just now. I think he is in a better mood?"

Li Mudao said: "I don't like to smile on weekdays, but I didn't laugh all night, is it strange?"

Xia He pondered for a moment, then said: "It's different from the usual days. In the past, Xianggong just didn't show his thoughts to the outside. But today, I can see that Xianggong doesn't seem happy."

Li Mu fell silent.

He never thought that someone could read his mood from his eyebrows, and suddenly he seemed to have a feeling of connectedness.Li Mu was thinking at this moment, wondering if this is something that is not taught in the master's words, but only found in those scriptures, and it is something that makes talented scholars and beautiful ladies fly to the flames?

He looked at Xia He carefully under the lamp, the young man was holding his child in his arms, his expression was full of tenderness.Li Mu's heart suddenly moved. At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten all the etiquette and shame. He stretched out his hand and hugged Xia He and Jin Bao in his arms.

Xia He didn't expect Li Mu's move, raised his head, looked at Li Mu, and called out to him, "Sir?" Just at this time, Jin Bao was caught between his father and aunt, feeling a bit bored and flustered, With difficulty twisting his body, he also turned his face forward.From Li Mu's point of view, it was just four shining eyes, all staring at him.

He smiled, touched Jin Bao, then Xia He, let go of his hand, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to..."

Xia He looked at him, wondering what he was thinking.

But Li Mu only said half a sentence, and didn't say any more.

There was a sudden silence between the two, but unexpectedly there was no embarrassment in the silence, it seemed that even if they could only hear each other panting, they felt satisfied.

After a long while, Xia He suddenly moved. First he put Jin Bao on the bed, then picked up two small benches, and said, "Let's go sit in the yard. It has rained, and the moon is pretty good tonight."

He arranged the stools in the yard, with tall corns on both sides. Sitting in the aisle, Li Mu suddenly felt quite comfortable and contented with a hut among the bamboo forests.Although the posture of sitting on the bench is not elegant, Li Mu didn't bother to worry about it at this time. He sat on it with his legs stretched out, patted the bench next to him, and said to Xia He who went back to the room to carry Jin Bao back: "Come on." , sit down."

"Can you tell me now, Mr. Xiang, why are you unhappy tonight?" Xia He asked after sitting down, tilting her head.

Li Mu thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "When I saw Qin Fan today, I suddenly felt an urge to beat him up. You know, I have always been a man who strictly abides by the principle of a gentleman."

How could Xia He know who Qin Fan was, after thinking about it, he might be the vicious man today.He nodded and said: "That person must have made you angry, so just beat him up! —— If you can't beat my husband, I can beat him up for you! I'm so strong!"

After all, Xia He gestured with his fists, as if if Qin Fan stood in front of him, he would really be able to punch him.

Li Mu knew that Xia He was not joking, but Xia He's appearance only made him feel that Xia He was extraordinarily cute.The smile on the corner of his mouth finally hanged, and never collapsed again.

Instead, Xia He comforted Li Mu, saying: "I always feel that although what is said in the book is a great truth, it is really exhausting. You are surrounded by reasonable people, so naturally you should talk about it with everyone." Reasonable. But if you fall into a den of robbers, then there is no reason to talk about it, of course fists are easy to use. If Mr. Xiang feels that there is no reason to talk to some people, just stop holding on."

"Well said, for that family named Xue, it should be harder than their fists, just hit the face!" Li Mu had been depressed for a long time, and now he said such words. I was startled, but looking at Xia He, she looked happy and applauded him.

After a long while, Xia He seemed to have realized something, and said: "Hey, the Qin family has something to do with the Xue family?"

"His mother is from the Xue family." Li Mu said yes.

Xia He pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Then that is the rich man that Brother Yun provoked?"

"Exactly." Li Mu nodded, saying yes.

"If brother Yun wants to stay in the ancestral hall, we have to guard the ancestral hall, otherwise we may have to ask that person to break in." Xia He didn't know that Qin Fan had already broken into the ancestral hall of the Li family, so he said so.

The appearance of him earnestly planning for the Li family made Li Mu's heart soften. He took Xia He's arm and said, "What you said is that I will see my fourth uncle tomorrow and entrust him to arrange the family. The disciples of the family take turns guarding the ancestral hall. Thank you for your hard work."

"This is giving advice to our family. Besides, I'm just talking about it, so it's hard work." Xia He replied strangely.

Xia He was very serious when he said this, and after listening to Li Mu's ears, he suddenly thought...

A thought popped into Li Mu's head that he had never thought about before, but since his thoughts were already occupied by that year, he could only be controlled by that thought, and he bent down little by little, getting closer to Xia He...

Suddenly, he heard a gurgling sound.

Xia He blushed, clutching her stomach: "I'm hungry."

Li Mu: "...I'll go to the kitchen and bring you something to eat?"

"No need! I have steamed buns..." Xia He said this, just about to dig it out, but suddenly remembered that it was in front of Li Mu, so she stood up abruptly and rushed back to the room.

Xia He was sure that Li Mu couldn't see, so he took out the steamed bun.Just after taking two bites, he suddenly seemed to hear someone stepping on his roof.

Xia He poked her head out and tried her best to look up, but she couldn't see anything, so she could only ask Li Mu, "Sir, did you see anything on the roof just now?"

"No, why?" Li Mu said yes.

Xia He could only shake his head: "Maybe I got it wrong."
