Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 513 New Family Member

The border between March and April.

Large clouds hang high in the sky, and a cool spring breeze blows through the woods, bringing the rustling of branches and the chirping of birds.

Lu You walked out of the bathroom, glanced at the big bulge on the bed, paced to the closet, took off his pajamas, changed into loose and breathable sportswear, and then turned around.

"Get up and have breakfast."

The big bag was as quiet as death.

Lu You grabbed the edge of the quilt and threw it to the end of the bed.

Tang Wan was seen curled up on the bed, looking like a silkworm that was transforming from a cocoon.

"Get up quickly, the breakfast is getting cold!"

Tang Wan still didn't respond and remained motionless.

Lu You had no choice but to climb onto the bed, press Tang Wan's shoulders and force her to turn over.

Without any preparation, the two of them looked at each other.

"Why are you still pretending to be dead?"

"What do you care?" Tang Wan pushed him away and sat up reluctantly. "You don't let me sleep in during the holidays. I should have known not to come back with you!"

"There is no regret medicine in the world." Lu You pinched Tang Wan's face and climbed down from the bed. "Go wash up, I'll help you prepare your clothes, and we'll go downstairs together after you're done."

Tang Wan put her hair back, opened her arms towards Lu You, and said, "Carry me."

"Don't you have legs?"

"I'm tired and don't want to move."

Lu You laughed angrily, put one hand on his waist, and asked, "I'm not tired anymore?"

"Oh, just hug me once! I'll give you a reward, okay?" Tang Wan raised her face with shining eyes, like a ragdoll cat in a cattery, begging for food from customers.

Tang Wan often used tactics such as acting coquettishly and tempting him, and Lu You could see through it at a glance, but he fell for it and was completely controlled by her.

Lu You sighed silently, bent down, put one hand under Tang Wan's legs, and put the other hand around Tang Wan's back, "I really don't know if there is any man in the world who can stand you, my little ancestor, besides me."

Tang Wan chuckled and took the initiative to cooperate with Lu You's actions. She bent her legs and hugged Lu You's neck, "Are you willing to let another man touch your wife?"

"Stop talking about green things like that."

Lu You tightened his arms, and the muscles at the back exploded with strength, and he steadily lifted Tang Wan up sideways.

The whole process was relaxing and comfortable without any blushing or panting.

"Where's my reward?"

Tang Wan moved closer to Lu You's face, pressed her lips against the corner of his eyes, and separated after a while.

"Here you go, let's go!"

"Just one?"

"This is the deposit. Once we get into the bathroom, I'll pay the balance."

……

Fifteen minutes later.

The two dressed neatly and came to the restaurant on the first floor.

There were two tables in the restaurant, one big and one small. The big one was full of people, while the small one had some empty seats.

Grandma was the first to notice the two of them coming. She held a bowl and chopsticks in her hands and greeted them, "Are you all up? There's porridge in the kitchen. Help yourself."

The two of them responded, walked into the kitchen, got the bowls and chopsticks, made some hot porridge, returned to the dining room, and sat around the small dining table.

During festivals, there are many people in the Lu family, so there is more to eat.

Eggs, bread, pastries, vermicelli, pickles, dried shrimps, and fried salted fish almost filled the table.

Tang Wan scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and the sticky rice soup overflowed from the edge, gathered on the back of the spoon, and dripped into the bowl in a thread-like shape.

Tang Wan thought of the scene when she paid the balance in the bathroom.

"If you are careless, you will lose Jingzhou."

Lu You took an egg and smashed it on the table, just in time to hear Tang Wan's inexplicable words.

"what are you saying?"

"Nothing, let's have breakfast!"

For this breakfast, Tang Wan put on the mask of a lady for the first time in a long time. She usually took the bowl to drink the porridge in big gulps, but now she scooped it up and drank it one spoonful at a time. She broke the palm-sized bread into pieces to share with Lu You. She used to eat one egg in two bites, but now she used chopsticks to cut it into four pieces and savored it carefully.

When Lu You finished two bowls of porridge and put down his chopsticks, Tang Wan still stopped at the first bowl, pretending to eat slowly.

"Is breakfast not to your liking?"

Tang Wan picked up a few rice-sized shrimps and put them into her mouth, saying, "No, they're quite delicious."

"Then why are you eating so slowly? Who are you trying to show off to?"

Tang Wan paused with her chopsticks, a smile on her lips, and turned her head slightly, "Stop talking nonsense. If you dare to expose me, I will punch your dog head to pieces."

Facing challenges head-on is bravery, while dancing on a grave is courting death. Lu You can tell the difference between the two.

"Friendly reminder, try to eat faster, otherwise everyone will finish eating and get ready to leave, and they'll have to wait for you."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Tang Wan said tough words, but her hands moved faster. She finished the porridge in the bowl in a few gulps and handed the empty bowl to Lu You.

"one more bowl."

"living comfortably without anybody's help."

"Just this morning's after-sales service."

"You lazy bastard, I admire you." Lu You took the bowl, stood up and walked into the kitchen. After a while, he returned and placed a bowl of porridge in front of Tang. "Here, eat quickly."

"Thank you, husband. Love you!"

After whispering a few sweet words into Lu You's ear, Tang Wan picked up the dishes and chopsticks, not wanting to pretend to be a lady anymore, and started working.

Lu You leaned back in his chair, watched Tang Wan eat for a while, then looked across.

Sitting on a tall children's dining chair was a pretty little girl with smooth black hair, big round eyes, and a chubby face.

She held a pair of chopsticks in her right hand, and from time to time she scooped out a thick noodle from the bowl, then pinched it with her left hand, leaned her head forward, and opened her little mouth to hold it.

Because the mouth capacity is small, you can't eat too much at one time, you can only suck the noodles twice to break them, and then repeat the process of scooping up the noodles, pinching the noodles, sucking the noodles, and biting the noodles.

Lu You was amused.

Chopsticks can actually be used like this.

Perhaps Lu You's gaze was too direct and was noticed by the little girl.

She put down her chopsticks and looked at Lu You. Her festive little face was tense and a piece of green chopped green onion was hanging on one side of her cheek.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like this?"

"You look good!" Lu You held his chin with one hand, trying to tease Lu Jingshu.

Lu Jingshu pursed her lips, twisted her eyebrows together, and her face was full of unhappiness, "Sister Tang Wan is also pretty, why don't you look at her?"

"I'm tired of it, let's change the taste."

A murderous look swept across Lu You inconspicuously.

There are so many people, so just be patient.

Lu Jingshu widened her eyes and tried to look serious. "But you can't keep looking at me. Mom said that staring at someone is very rude."

"Our mother loves to fool children. Don't listen to her. If my brother says you can watch it, then you can watch it."

Shen Yuyin had just come out of the kitchen after washing her hands when she heard this and her face immediately turned dark.

"Lu You, what do you mean? Are you questioning my educational policy?"

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

The three most important women in his life were offended all at once.

If you don't go now, when will you wait?

Are you going to stay and get beaten up?

Lu Yourun ran so fast that he was almost caught by Shen Yuyin.

Escape all the way to the backyard.

There are people here too, my cousin Lu Chun and his family of three.

Lu Chun himself was running back and forth in the open space, followed by a little tail that was wobbling and babbling.

"Come on, Xiaoxin, come and catch daddy!"

"Woo woo wow wow~"

The child's mother, Chen Yuning, sat under the eaves, holding up her mobile phone and recording a video of the interaction between father and son with a smile on her face.

"Watch your son carefully, don't let him fall!"

"I know, I know my limits!"

At Chen Yuning's feet, Lingxuzi was lying quietly. His hair was thick and dense, but much shorter than during the Spring Festival. It no longer had the fluffy feel of an Alaskan dog, but instead had a lean appearance like a Husky.

Dogs have always been more perceptive than humans. As soon as Lu You stepped out of the backyard door, Lingxuzi's drooping ears immediately stood up, his big tail swayed from side to side, he raised his big head, and looked back with his mouth wide open.

"Wang Wang!"

Chen Yuning glanced back and said jokingly, "Good morning, college bully! What time did you get back last night?"

"About half past eleven."

Lu You kicked the dog's leg, and Lingxuzi stood up sensibly, shook his hair twice, opened his mouth and yawned, then took two steps to Lu You's legs and rubbed his head against his trouser leg affectionately.

Lu You bent down and grabbed Lingxuzi's scalp a few times.

A self-heating blanket that gives you a healing feeling.

"Is it my illusion? Why does it feel like Lingxuzi's hair has become shorter?" Lu You raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yuning.

"I had my hair cut last week. The temperature has been rising in recent days, and cutting the hair shorter will help dissipate heat," Chen Yuning explained.

"Isn't it said that clipping the hair of cats and dogs is bad for their skin, as they are prone to sunburn and skin diseases?"

"You can cut it short, but you can't shave it off. It won't be a problem if you keep the underlying hair."

Lu You patted Lingxuzi's dog head, stood up again, and looked towards the pavilion connected by a long corridor in the distance. A boy could be vaguely seen.

When my great-grandfather was alive, he often rested in the pavilion, and family members often visited there.

After my great-grandfather passed away, family members rarely went there and the pavilion was empty most of the time.

"That child over there, is that the one Grandpa brought back from the last time he went out of town to visit his comrades?"

"Yes!" As if thinking of some sad things, Chen Yuning's tone was more sympathetic, "He was a very sensible child, but he had such a tragic life. His mother died of complications during childbirth, his father died in the line of duty last year, and his only remaining grandfather died two weeks ago."

"Ah this..."

This kind of family background would make him a perfect male protagonist in a novel, but in reality, it would be a pain that would be engraved on your face for a lifetime.

"He has no other relatives?"

"It's better not to have it." Chen Yuning curled his lips with deep disgust on his face. "His grandfather went to the hospital this morning, and before noon, the house and fields were occupied by those relatives. A few days ago, they came to the door and scrambled for custody. They all acted kind and benevolent, but who doesn't know that they want to take the pension? Your grandfather called people to come and pack them up and take them away."

Lu You immediately understood. No wonder his grandfather's comrades-in-arms wanted to hand the child over to his grandfather. There was really no one else he could entrust the child to.

"Is there any way to get his house and land back?"

"Of course there is." Lu Chun came over holding Lu Yanxin and intervened in the conversation. "Legally, the house and the land belong to the child. As for how to put it into practice, it's not easy to do it openly. The child's relatives are all deadbeats. Their criminal records are several pages long. They are used to prison food. It doesn't matter if they are locked up for a few days. If we want to solve this matter thoroughly, we can only give them a taste of their own medicine and use some shady means."

Lu You did not ask what specific methods were used, nor was he interested in asking. He left family matters to people who were familiar with the family.

Lu You brought Lu Yanxin over, played some tricks on him to make him angry, and then stuffed him into Chen Yuning's arms without changing his expression, which made Chen Yuning so angry that she slapped him.

"Cousin, what's the child's name? Is he easy to talk to?"

"You want to talk to him?"

Lu You nodded.

"His last name is Lian, which means continuous, and his last name is Zhan, which means battle. He is introverted and doesn't like to talk much."

"Okay, I understand."
