Fan Jin smiled gently. It was no wonder that his colleagues had done their best to help treat and save him.

Zhao Di shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

Her eldest and second brothers didn't help at all, they only made things worse, how could she possibly resent Master Bai and the others!

The topic of Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu was briefly mentioned, and everyone moved on to the next topic.

Bai Ziqian mentioned that he had given the other half of the potato seeds to the villagers to plant, and also made it clear that it was in the name of the Bai family, so that his father wouldn't let it slip.

Bai Manshan laughed heartily: "It's better to do it in our family's name, otherwise their fellow villagers will easily gossip."

Bai Ziqian looked at his father in surprise, not expecting that his father's first thought was exactly the same as Aunt Shuiqing's!

Bai Manshan affectionately patted the child's head and sighed, "The saying 'Understanding the ways of the world is knowledge, and being adept at human relationships is literature' may be a bit vulgar, but it is very practical. You still have a lot to learn."

Interpersonal skills and social etiquette are the hardest things to learn.

After speaking, he looked at the child with concern. Ziqian used to hate it when he said these things, always saying that he was greedy. But the atmosphere was good today, and he didn't want to ruin this rare time for father and son to spend together.

Bai Ziqian nodded in agreement.

He works every day but doesn't earn any money. After struggling to make ends meet, he realizes that it's already pretty good to have a bit of money. Most people don't even have a few stinky coins to be scolded!

Bai Manshan's face lit up even more with joy.

Shuiqing's family is truly a benefactor to Ziqian.

Hu's mother, the head of the household, and Hu Wenhua discussed the construction of a wall around Shanshui Village, and casually mentioned that the Ding family had also been allocated a section of the road.

Without thinking, Hu Wenhua blurted out, "Then I'll go help Aunt Ding make adobe bricks this afternoon."

Ding Jiajia looked up at him, and Hu Wenhua couldn't help but look at her too. Their eyes met across the table, and Ding Jiajia hurriedly looked away, but Hu Wenhua was stunned and couldn't bear to look away.

Qin Yilin's cheerful and straightforward voice came: "No need, Auntie has already hired someone! You must be tired from your trip, you should take some time to rest."

Da Ni and Er Ni are very efficient at their work; their family is definitely faster than Zhang the Bald's family. As long as they're not the slowest, they'll be fine.

Hu Wenhua looked away with difficulty and looked at Aunt Ding, laughing heartily, "I took the empty train back the next two days, and I just walked. I'm not tired at all!"

Dazhu and Erzhu took turns pulling them back. The two of them lay on the two vehicles, weighing over 100 pounds, which was no different from an empty vehicle.

In the past, Hu's mother would have advised Wenhua to rest, but today she still wanted Wenhua to make an appearance and let those who didn't think highly of her show their support.

"Okay, go ahead."

Butcher Hu said from the side, "I'm not too tired either. I'll take a nap and then go with them."

With more people helping, the Ding family's work can be completed sooner.

"No need, you're an old man, you can just rest at home this afternoon."

Butcher Hu: ..... Just a few days ago I was praising him for not being any less frail than before, how come he's all old and frail now!

After a lively lunch, the whole family chatted for a while to digest their food before going home for a nap.

Taking a nap serves two purposes: to restore physical strength and to avoid the most intense midday sun.

After resting, Hu Wenhua picked up his tools for making adobe bricks and set off.

Shui Qing looked at the absent-minded Ding Jiajia and suggested, "Jiajia, I made some mung bean soup to cool you down. Would you like to bring it over?"
