Chapter 187 New Busyness

However, once the work started, the difference became apparent.

Whether it works or not, it really cannot be faked at all.

Some are smart and agile. Even if their movements are clumsy or they make mistakes, they obviously understand the key points and can learn it after a few tries.

Some people just can't learn it no matter what, and they get flustered, sweaty, and fail to learn it over and over again. Others simply get a headache just by listening and give up altogether.

Technology is not something that everyone can make a living from!

Zhao Liya, Hu Ling and others taught for three days and finally selected 326 people.

This number is already quite encouraging.

There are about twenty outstanding people who have learned it quite well after repeated practice.

On the fourth day, when Zhao Liya and her team officially began grafting the persimmon trees, they returned home that evening to find Zhao Lixiang, Zhao Lin, and Zhou Nian playing in the yard. In front of the three children sat a large wooden basin, and several fish were swimming happily in it, delighting the three of them.

Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin giggled and reached out to catch the fish. Although Zhou Nian didn't dare to reach out to catch them, he watched with a pair of dark eyes wide open, looking very happy. A smile was hidden on his thin face.

Zhou Nian did not hold on to Zhou Hansheng. Zhou Hansheng stood five or six steps away from them and watched them with a look of relief.

Zhao Liya and the others were sincerely happy for him upon seeing this. The few people who were originally joking immediately subconsciously held their breath, lowered their voices, and walked lighter.

Knowing that Zhou Nian would be involuntarily frightened when he saw a crowd of people, Hu Ling and others immediately understood what was happening and quickly left and disappeared.

Zhou Hansheng looked up and saw them. He smiled and nodded at Zhao Liya, then took two steps forward and said, "You're back!"

As soon as Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin saw Zhao Liya, they immediately cheered and rushed over to her: "Sister!", "Sister is back!"

Zhou Nian stood up suddenly, feeling somewhat bewildered. He turned his head in panic and saw Zhou Hansheng smiling gently at him. He calmed himself down, and the panic in his eyes gradually faded away. He stood there in a daze.

Zhao Liya rubbed the two children's heads and said a few words to them with a smile. Suddenly, she bent down and half-knelt, waved to Zhou Nian and said softly, "A Nian, come here, can you come over too?"

Zhou Nian looked at her in a daze, and suddenly ran towards Zhao Liya.

Zhou Hansheng suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his heart seemed to stop beating at that moment.

Zhao Liya was also stunned.

When Zhou Nian ran to about an arm's length in front of her, he suddenly stopped and stared at Zhao Liya blankly.

The only person he could truly trust and rely on was Zhou Hansheng, but he could feel that Zhou Hansheng treated Zhao Liya differently. When Zhao Liya called him, he didn't know why, but he subconsciously ran over.

But when he got closer, he suddenly came to his senses. He didn't know this person.

Zhao Liya slowly squatted down, with a forced smile on her face. She opened her arms slightly towards him and called softly, "A Nian, come here. Look, Xiang'er and Lin'er are here too. Come over here, okay?"

Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin pursed their lips, smiled, and stood beside Zhao Liya. They sensibly gave their sister's arms to their younger brother because their younger brother was sick.

Zhou Nian looked at Zhao Liya steadily. Just when Zhao Liya felt that the smile on her face was about to freeze and could not hold on any longer, he finally took a step towards her and gently reached out to grab her sleeve.

Zhao Liya was delighted and gently held Zhou Nian's hand, saying softly, "A Nian is so amazing, so great!"

Zhao Liya slowly pulled him forward and hugged him gently. Her hand gently fell on his shoulder and stroked it.

Zhou Nian was stunned, and something exploded in his mind. He vaguely remembered that there had once been such a pair of gentle hands hugging and caressing him.

He suddenly burst into tears and threw himself into Zhao Liya's arms. He hugged Zhao Liya tightly with his little hands and cried heart-wrenchingly.

This sudden change shocked everyone. Zhao Liya hurriedly hugged him and patted him gently to comfort him. Zhou Hansheng also hurried forward to comfort him.

Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin were stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to comfort him: "Brother Anian, don't cry! Don't cry!"

Zhao Xiang and others who were in the house heard it and rushed out immediately.

"What's the matter?"

"what happens?"

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

Zhao Xiang and Mrs. Deng saw Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng coaxing Zhou Nian together. They both looked at each other at the same time, as if they felt something was a little strange, but they couldn't put their finger on what it was.

Zhaonan quickly ran to the next yard to call Yu Xiaofang. Yu Xiaofang hurried over and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone! This is a good thing, a good thing! The child has started to accept others. His crying is a good thing, there's no need to worry."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

Afraid that he would be scared again because of the crowds, they quickly retreated.

Zhou Nian cried so sadly, as if the sky had fallen.

Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng comforted him with gentle words, and his sobs gradually subsided and finally stopped. He was tired from crying, and he fell asleep in Zhao Liya's arms. Tears hung on his thin, pale face, but his two small hands were still tightly clutching Zhao Liya's clothes.

Zhou Hansheng glanced at Zhao Liya and whispered, "Thank you!" He wanted to take him away from Zhao Liya's arms, but Zhou Nian's hands were clenched very tightly. When Zhou Hansheng exerted force, his brows furrowed, and his little face looked like he was about to cry.

Seeing this, Zhao Liya winked at him and whispered, "Don't touch him. I'll carry him back to the room."

Zhou Hansheng couldn't bear to wake Zhou Nian up, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, can you hold me? Will it be too hard?"

Zhao Liya chuckled: "Do you think I'm that fragile?"

Zhou Hansheng was stunned, and the two looked at each other and laughed, "Thank you for your help."

"Well, no trouble."

Zhao Liya gently picked up Zhou Nian, and Zhou Hansheng led the way back to the bedroom.

Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin blinked and followed, calling out "Sister! Brother Zhou!"

Zhao Liya carefully laid Zhou Nian down, and had to lean over him slightly to pat his back gently.

Zhou Hansheng coaxed Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin to go to the main house to wait for dinner, then turned around and walked over to see what was going on.

Zhao Liya had just gently pried open Zhou Nian's little hands and let him lie down. She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly straightened her back to get up.

Unexpectedly, she almost bumped into Zhou Hansheng when she turned around. She was so frightened that she almost screamed! Thinking that there was someone here who must not be frightened, she hurriedly covered her mouth.

But at this moment, it was all based on instinct and natural reaction. It was good enough that she could react and cover her mouth, but her body lost balance and fell to the side involuntarily.

Zhou Hansheng was startled, and before he could think carefully, he quickly put his hand around her waist: "Be careful——"
