After Shen Jiaqing finished speaking, he waited for Lili's reply. Lili opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Wow! Brother is so amazing!"

Madam Yang had only just learned of this, and upon hearing it, she was quite surprised: "Really? Jiaqing is truly amazing!"

Shen Jiaqing scratched his head sheepishly, then became serious again, taking Lili's hand: "Lili, thank you. I feel like I'm dreaming. I know that without you, how could I have achieved this? Don't worry, Lili, your fourth brother will definitely learn from my master and become a great doctor like him in the future, so I can support you!"

Lili smiled and said, "Brother, you study medicine because you like it. Doctor Sikong accepted you as his apprentice because you are a very good person. If you can practice medicine and save lives in the future, that will be the best way to thank Lili!"

Shen Jiaqing nodded seriously: "Yes!"

Mrs. Yang smiled with deep emotion, "That's wonderful."

Since the atmosphere had reached this point, Lili simply followed Shen Jiaqing to the small house to see Doctor Sikong.

The divine physician, Sikong, had just taken his medicine and was asleep, so the two spoke in hushed tones.

Shen Jiaqing tucked the blanket around Doctor Sikong: "Doctor Zhu came today and said that Master is recovering very well. Moreover, Doctor Zhu said that our family has taken very good care of him, otherwise he wouldn't have recovered so quickly. He will be able to get out of bed in at most half a month!"

Lili squatted down, listening intently: "Really?"

Shen Jiaqing nodded: "Yes, Master said that once he's free to move around, he'll take me to the mountains to learn about medicinal herbs. Master said there are actually many herbs on the mountains that aren't mentioned in the books, and he wants to take me to investigate them in person!"

Shen Jiaqing's eyes lit up as he spoke, and Lili looked on with delight: "Wow, then Fourth Brother, you'd better work hard!"

"Uh-huh!"

Shen Jiaqing looked forward to the days of learning from her master in the future, and felt that she had motivation in life!

Lili muttered to herself, "Half a month...that's plenty of time."

"What?" Shen Jiaqing asked.

Lili shook her head: "It's nothing, let's go eat."

"good."

Lili glanced back at Doctor Sikong, thinking of Uncle Liu's seriously ill mother.

Grandma Liu will not die, because she will ask Physician Sikong to heal her.

Let's just say that Lili doesn't want to see Uncle Liu all alone from now on.

"Time to eat!"

The whole family sat down for dinner again. Although the eldest and third sons of the Shen family were missing, it couldn't dampen the joyful atmosphere of the Shen family.

A pot of steaming wild vegetable soup sits on the table, the broth an enticing pale green, clear and translucent.

A plate of vibrantly colored cucumber and egg stir-fry. The eggs are stir-fried until fluffy and tender, with slightly browned edges, releasing an enticing aroma. The cucumbers are sliced ​​into even, thin, and crisp pieces, retaining their own fresh fragrance and refreshing texture.

Although the Shen family's life has improved, they don't eat lavish meals every day. Mainly because Madam Yang isn't home today, the dishes are simple, but they still have the warmth of home.

Lili ate a hearty meal, and during the meal, Shen Lao Er asked her with a smile, "Li Bao, how is it? Is the little bed your second uncle made for you comfortable?"

Before Lili could answer, Liu said, "Oh my, my second brother's little bed is so cleverly made, it can even be raised!"

Old Man Shen and Old Woman Shen knew that their second son had made a small bed for Lili, but they didn't ask any questions. When they heard that something could rise up, they were incredibly surprised.

"What? It can rise up?"

"Yes, Mother, you didn't see it. My third sister-in-law and I were incredibly amazed when we saw it that day!" After praising her, Liu also complimented Chen, "Second sister-in-law is truly blessed. Second brother's skills are unparalleled! I think he's even better than those master craftsmen!"

The younger children chimed in, "Yes, yes, we saw it too, Grandpa, Grandma, I think Second Uncle is even more amazing than Master Huang from town!"

The younger ones took turns recounting everything they had seen that day.

Old Mrs. Shen listened in stunned silence: "Really?"

Shen Lao Er was getting a little carried away by everyone's praise, and quickly waved his hand modestly: "No, no, I just did a quick fix. Li Bao, how's it going? Are you sleeping well now? Is there anything your second uncle needs to change?"

Lili shook her head and praised without reservation, "No, it's all great, so comfortable! Sometimes Lili can even raise the bed and read while leaning against it!"

Shen Lao Er smiled with relief: "That's good. If anything happens, just tell your second uncle."

"Um!"

Lili nodded.

Shen Jialu thought for a moment and asked, "Second Uncle, with your skills, why don't you become a carpenter?"

Shen Lao Er was stunned: "How can my skills compare to those master craftsmen?"

Shen Lao Er had only seen Master Huang from town do carpentry when he was a child, and he had never even been an apprentice. How could he possibly be so embarrassed as to do proper carpentry?

Once people hear that he's not even a half-baked expert, they probably won't even be able to tell what his skills are like.

Shen Jiawen hesitated and said, "Dad, is it possible that you could do this without having studied it before? That would further prove how amazing you are?"

Shen Jiaqing nodded in agreement: "Yes."

In Old Mrs. Shen's memory, her second son had indeed been interested in woodworking since he was a child.

But the Shen family was poor before and couldn't afford to send him to be an apprentice. Shen Lao Er could tinker around at home and repair tables, chairs and benches, so they didn't pay much attention to him.

But now, hearing them say this, even though she hadn't seen what Lili's little bed looked like with her own eyes, Old Lady Shen only realized that her second son was truly talented when she had one foot in the grave!

For a moment, both Old Mrs. Shen and Old Mr. Shen felt a little guilty.

"Second brother..."

Suddenly remembering something, Lili asked him, "Second Uncle, how long did it take you to make that little bed?"

Shen Lao Er thought for a moment: "About two and a half weeks?"

Lili counted on her fingers: a small one takes more than two weeks, so a large one would take a month!

"Second Uncle, could you make a bigger one?" Lili thought for a moment, then spread her arms to show her size. "Maybe, um... enough for three or four Lilis to sleep in?"

Shen Lao Er frowned: "Who is Li Li trying to make this for?"

"Mmm!" Lili nodded. "It was an old lady. She was so pitiful. She had a very serious illness!"

Making a bed doesn't take much effort, it just uses up wood and time.

Although I have to dig ditches during the day, I'm not in a rush lately and can be back before sunset.

He should be able to finish it in about a month if he spends some time working on it.

"Is Lili going to give this to that old lady?"

Lili nodded: "Okay! Is that alright? Uncle, let me tell you, although it seems like a freebie right now, it will actually be very useful!"
