Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 697 - 696: Doesn’t Want to Keep Taking the Exams

Shen Qinglan watched as a few people left. As she turned back, she saw Qiu Li standing at the doorway holding the child, "I wanted to come out earlier, but it’s cold outside, I’m afraid Le’er might catch a chill."

Shen Qinglan smiled at her, "Has Le’er fallen asleep again?"

"Not yet." Qiu Li looked down, glanced tenderly at her son, and then looked up, "It’s cold outside, let’s talk inside."

Shen Qinglan nodded and looked down at Shen Qingping, "Qingping, why are you doing your homework outside?"

Shen Qingping replied, "The sun will be out soon, it’s cold inside."

"Cold inside?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Is there no charcoal left?"

Shen Qingping nodded, "There is, but I prefer basking in the sun."

"Alright then." Shen Qinglan smiled and ruffled his little head, "Go do your homework then, I’ll go inside to see little Le’er."

Shen Qingping obediently nodded, "Okay."

Shen Qinglan ruffled his little head once more, then smiled and walked towards Qiu Li’s room.

As soon as she entered the room, the scent of milk unique to babies wafted to her nose.

She raised her eyebrows and sat down opposite Qiu Li.

Qiu Li smiled, "Traveling early in the morning, have you had breakfast?"

"Yes." Shen Qinglan nodded, "I’ve had it."

Qiu Li gently smiled, "Well, it’ll be time for lunch soon anyway."

Shen Qinglan smiled, looking at the child in her arms whose eyes were slightly closed and had a somewhat lazy expression, "Is he planning to sleep again?"

"Probably." Qiu Li laughed, "Babies are like this, eating and then sleeping, waking up when hungry. In time, you’ll understand."

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, reaching out her hands, "Can I hold him?"

"Of course!" Qiu Li quickly stood up and placed the child in her arms.

Shen Qinglan learns things quickly. She had watched Qiu Li’s way of holding the baby earlier, so she imitated her as she held him.

The little one slightly opened his eyes, looked at her with his nearly all-black pupils, and then slowly closed his eyes again.

Shen Qinglan pouted, speaking softly, "Are you going to sleep even when aunt holds you?"

The little one seemed to hear her speaking. He opened his eyes slightly again, lightly clenched his little fist, and went back to sleep.

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Are you threatening your aunt?"

Qiu Li laughed softly, "How could he dare threaten his aunt? You are the one who named him."

Shen Le, this was the name Shen Qinglan gave him, hoping her little nephew could live a life of joy and no worries.

Initially, naming him was a task meant for Shen Qingzhu and Shen Shan, but the old man of the Shen Family said she was the family’s blessed one and asked her to name him, hoping the little nephew could share in her good fortune.

Shen Qinglan reluctantly agreed, unable to refuse, and after some thought, gave him the name Le.

Everyone in the Shen Family agreed, and so the name was settled.

Qiu Li looked at her, "You must have heard about brother-in-law passing the scholar exam, right?"

"Yes." Shen Qinglan nodded, "I heard about it, but I was in Bright Moon City at the time, so I couldn’t make it back to congratulate him."

"Brother-in-law is finally seeing success, but..."

Qiu Li looked at Shen Qinglan, "I heard from your second brother that brother-in-law doesn’t plan to continue with the exams."

"He doesn’t plan to continue?" Shen Qinglan was surprised, "Why?"

Isn’t the purpose of years of studying to make it on the honor roll? Li Wei did so well on the exam, why wouldn’t he want to continue?

"He said he doesn’t want to take more exams, he’s content being a small scholar." Qiu Li said, "He seems to feel he doesn’t want to leave home again."
