C217 Little Brother Wants to Sleep
Hearing his son's words, Shen Jingli's face turned red from embarrassment. She glared at Mu Chen, as if saying, Why aren't you wake me up?
Mu Chen looked back at him. I think you're too tired, so I wanted you to sleep a bit more.
Mu Chen walked over and carried Xun Er, allowing him to sit on his shoulder. "Xun Er, be good. Mama's little brother in his stomach needs to sleep well, otherwise, it will cause trouble for Mama, which is why Mama slept so late."
"Is little brother going to sleep?" Xun Er's eyes widened in shock, as he looked at Shen Jingli's stomach in disbelief.
Shen Jingli secretly rolled his eyes, pushing the responsibility to the child, he really had the nerve to say it.
Mu Chen nodded, his eyes lit up. He anxiously climbed down from Mu Chen's body, walked up to Shen Jingli and touched his stomach: "Mama, sleep a bit more, otherwise, your brother won't be that big."
Hearing his words, Shen Jingli wanted to laugh. Where did this little elf learn to say all these?
"Younger brother is hungry, Mama is going to eat breakfast now." Shen Jingli said.
Hearing that, Xun Er hurriedly shouted towards Jin Yu and the others, "Big Sister Jin Yu, Big Brother Nian, Mama is hungry and wants to eat breakfast. All of you should quickly go and prepare."
Mu Chen looked at his son who was happily eating for Shen Jingli, and revealed a gratified smile. He walked to Shen Jingli's side and gently embraced him, "Xun Er is getting more sensible now."
Yeah, not only did he learn to take care of himself, he even learned to take care of his parents.
The husband and husband looked at Xun Er who was leading the servants to do the work in front of them in unison, revealing a pleased and proud expression.
As Shen Jingli did not get up to eat breakfast, Mu Chen specifically ordered the kitchen to leave a portion for him, warming it in the pot.
After hearing Xun Er's instructions, Jin Yu and Nian Hua went into the kitchen to bring the breakfast out to the living room.
Mu Chen accompanied Shen Jingli into the hall room and said to him, "After you finish eating breakfast, let's go to Shuang'er Academy together."
"Alright." Shen Jingli said.
Xun Er played around in the courtyard and also ran in. Seeing two boiled eggs on the table, he climbed up the chair and brought the two eggs over and knocked on the table: "Mama, Xun Er will peel your eggs."
A lot of protein was stuck on the eggshell. Looking at the egg in his hand, he felt that it was different from how he usually ate, he pouted his mouth and looked towards Mu Chen for help.
Mu Chen received the egg in his hand, reached out to rub his little head, and said: "Xun Er has peeled very well, this egg must definitely be delicious."
"Really?" Xun Er asked innocently.
"Really." Mu Chen nodded seriously and placed the egg into Shen Jingli's bowl, "Eat more, don't be hungry."
Receiving Mu Chen's assurance, Xun Er was very happy, and also followed him: "Mama, eat more. If it's not enough, Xun Er will peel more for you."
Shen Jingli looked at the companion beside him, then looked at his thoughtful son, feeling that this time was really good.
After eating breakfast, Mu Chen and Shen Jingli brought Xun Er and Huaixin out.
Xu Yanlin and Mu Yifann were standing by the stream and chatting. When they saw them come out, they smiled at Shen Jingli vaguely and said: "Your husband's life is pretty harmonious huh?"
Shen Jingli understood the mockery in his words and suddenly laughed complacently. He happily pulled Mu Chen's arm, turned his head and kissed Mu Chen on the cheek, showing off: "Compared to a bachelor dog, it's a hundred times better."
Xu Yanlin didn't understand the meaning of a single dog, but this did not stop him from being thrown a handful of dog food, and he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He pointed at Shen Jingli, his fingers trembling, and said after a long while, "In public … "You are truly shameless …"
His own man, what was there to be shameless about?
Shen Jingli scoffed, he did not take Xu Yanlin's accusation to heart, but Mu Chen smiled subtly, feeling extremely proud of himself.
"Fourteenth, look at your husband, he actually did such a shameless thing in public." Seeing that Shen Jingli could not explain it, Xu Yanlin turned and complained to Mu Chen.
"You're jealous." Shen Jingli said.
"We're husbands, not strangers. I think it's good." Mu Chen added.
Xu Yanlin was suddenly struck by 10,000 points of impact. This pair of shameless husbands really couldn't watch anymore.
"Let's go and see how the school is being built." He gave up on himself.
Shen Jingli leaned on Mu Chen, and laughed complacently. Little brat, let me see if I, the young master, can make you angry by teasing me.
Mu Chen turned and looked at him, doting on his nose. Shen Jingli snorted and playfully winked at him.
There were eight classrooms, a kitchen, a cafeteria, a warehouse, a library, as well as a teacher's dormitory and a sports field. According to Shen Jingli's design, a few children's play facilities, such as a seesaw, a slide, etc., were built on the outside as well.
After a period of construction, the academy had completed the foundation and built several classrooms. When the foreman in charge saw them coming, he immediately went up to them and automatically introduced the progress of the construction.
"According to the current speed, it will be completed by the end of the year." The foreman rubbed his palms together and said ingratiatingly, "Our team's people work very quickly. Moreover, with the help of your villagers, we work very fast. Who knows, we might be able to finish by October."
The workers and carpenters inside were all professional workers, and the work was fast and good. Also, because it was to the benefit of the village, the people in the village also came to help when they had time. The more people there were, the more power they had, and they were all familiar with it, so their work was faster.
Mu Chen nodded, and walked around the school, feeling satisfied with the layout of the school.
"You designed this?" After going around, they sat under a big tree beside the construction site, and asked Shen Jingli.
"That's right, I designed the course too." Chess, calligraphy and painting, female cooking, manual etiquette... An ancient version of the Bride's School.
"The course is very reasonable." Generally, people would teach him, and it wouldn't shock the world. What he was afraid of the most was that Shen Jingli would make people teach them four books and five classics, teaching them the pursuit of self-independence. That was something that was forbidden in this era, if he really did that, many people would be killed.
"I know my limits." He wasn't stupid. He thought that he could rely on his own power to change the system of this era. Those who had always advocated reform would all end up with miserable fates.
"I feel that if this school is run well, it can be spread all over the country." Xu Yanlin interrupted.
Mu Chen thought about this possibility. Indeed, there were so many girls and twins in the entire country, many people desired to have the chance to go to school. If this academy was established well and spread to the entire country, it would benefit the whole country.
"If this is done well, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of some people." Mu Chen said.
Hearing that, Xu Yanlin became silent.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Xun Er and Huaixin who were playing by the side suddenly quietened down, the two of them carefully leaned on Shen Jingli and whispered: "Mama..."

"I'm fine." Shen Jingli comforted them, looked up at the sky and said, "Today's weather is good, let daddy bring you guys to fly kites, okay?"
"Alright." The two of them jumped up happily and cheered as they danced.
Looking at the two children's happy expressions, Xu Yanlin laughed and said, "You two really plan to raise that child as a child's wife?"
Child daughter-in-law? Shen Jingli turned his head to look at the sweetly smiling Huaixin. He really did like Huaixin a lot, but whether or not he could become his Daughter-in-law would still depend on whether or not he could develop feelings for him.
"If they grow up and like each other, I naturally won't object. If they don't develop feelings for each other in the end, I won't force them." Although this era advocated parental matchmaking, he still wanted his child to choose the partner he liked.
Xu Yanlin did not speak, Shen Jingli's way of thinking was out of line and it was not something that could happen in a day or two, if he was surprised every time, he would probably be too scared to death.
The few of them walked around before they returned home.
Many people in the village were working in the mines, and the young men all went to the academy. Thus, the entire village seemed quite lonely. Only a few women were working in groups of twos or threes on sewing or in the vegetable fields.
They walked along the main road along the river towards home. Before they even reached their doorsteps, they saw the two White-shouldered Eagle flying over from afar. When they saw Xun Er, they had even let out hoarse shouts.
When Xun Er saw the birds he was raising, he immediately cried out in excitement, "Father, quickly look, my Da Hui, Er Hui, Da Hui and Er Hui are really powerful. They can catch a lot of fish, more than what Uncle Fisherman can catch …"
Xun Er danced as he gestured with his hands, tugging at Mu Chen's hands from time to time, as if saying, hurry up and praise me, praise me!
"Xun Er is really amazing, raising the Da Hui and Er Hui so well." Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the two condors circling above, his gaze becoming dimmer.
Shen Jingli noticed the change in his expression and asked: "Didn't you bring them back?"
Hearing his words, Mu Chen pursed her lips and laughed, he did not say yes or no.
Shen Jingli looked at him, but he understood that the two eggs were not given by him. He furrowed his brows and suddenly remembered something Xu Yanlin said before.
He turned his head to the side, looked at Mu Chen, reached out, grabbed his hand, and squeezed it again.
The power that came from his palm came out, one after the other, with a rhythm. He could feel the hesitation in his master's heart, so he turned his head, looked at the Shen Jingli who seemed to be in a daze, and asked: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about? "
