"Oh, it's Mr. Liu! I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner." Aunt Chi greeted him cheerfully.

The visitor was none other than Liu Demiao.

The charcoal sound was sold to him back then, and I also owe it to him to find An An later.

Even when Sister-in-law Chi later opened her restaurant, Liu Demiao provided a lot of help.

Moreover, Sister-in-law Chi's family had been doing timber business with Liu Demiao, and their lives were getting better and better.

Therefore, the two families have maintained contact over the years.

They would visit each other during holidays and festivals.

"Hello, Uncle Liu."

"Hello, Grandpa Liu."

A group of little kids happily greeted Liu Demiao.

Silang skipped over and asked, "Grandpa Liu, what delicious treats did you bring us this time?"

Every time he came, Liu Demiao would bring a lot of delicious food and fun things.

Therefore, all the little ones in the Chi family really like Liu Demiao.

"This time, I brought Fuxi dolls. When I went to Fuxi, I saw that they were pretty and heard that they were a local specialty, so I bought them."

Liu Demiao rubbed Silang's head and exclaimed, "Silang has grown taller! You've gotten quite a bit taller!"

"I've not only grown taller, but I'm also more capable now! The workshop can't do without me."

As Silang spoke, he started to boast.

Liu Demiao laughed heartily: "Then, Silang, can you come with Grandpa Liu and help Grandpa Liu?"

Silang shook his head decisively: "That won't do. I have to stay home and help out. I knew that someone as capable and talented as me would be in high demand sooner or later."

Silang was secretly pleased.

"Pfft, hahaha. Silang, you little rascal, aren't you ashamed at all?"

"This kid is getting more and more outspoken."

Liu Demiao interrupted Old Man Chi and his wife, "Oh, little boy, it's so good that he's so lively and active. I like our Silang's personality just the way he is."

"Wow, it's a porcelain doll! It's so cute!"

"It must have been very difficult to transport the porcelain doll all this way, right?"

Liu Demiao laughed heartily: "Well, seeing our kids affiliated with this place makes it all worthwhile."

As for whether it was easy or difficult, he didn't elaborate.

Liu Demiao waved to the back, trying his best to remain composed, but it was obvious how excited he was.

"Come, greet your Uncle Chi and Aunt Chi. Brother Chi, this is my youngest daughter, Yun Zhao, she is eleven years old this year."

The young woman walked out gracefully, her steps like lotus blossoms, calm and elegant.

Despite being only eleven years old, she possesses a calm, composed, and dignified demeanor.

Although her features were only delicate, her fair and translucent skin was truly captivating.

"Yun Zhao greets his uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters-in-law."

Her voice was also extremely beautiful, like that of a nightingale.

"Yun Zhao?" Xingxing blinked; the name didn't sound as nice as her sister's.

Tangtang, Tangbao, what lovely names!

Just by listening to her voice, you can tell she's a cute and sweet little girl.

Yun Zhao glanced at the stars, nodded politely, and explained softly:

"The bright moon shines in the clouds, and this sentiment is entrusted to it."

That's where her name comes from.

My moon will never fall.

My love will last until death.

Her mother named her.

"What a beautiful name, just like yours, Miss." Chi Tang took the initiative to hold the Miss's hand.

Alas, you can tell whether parents are well-educated or not just by looking at their child's name.

However, she felt that her own parents were better.

Because her parents were not well-educated, they still gave her such a beautiful name.

"You must be Sister Chi Tang. This is a string of beads I made myself, a gift for you. It's all for you."

Yun Zhao smiled happily as soon as he saw Chi Tang.

Chi Tang then realized that when Yun Zhao smiled, her eyes curved like a crescent moon, making her look both cute and gentle.

but……

"All of them?"

What's the meaning?

Then Chi Tang noticed that a maid was carrying a large wooden box behind Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao excitedly opened it, and inside were three layers.

Each floor was filled with various beaded strings.

“I bought and strung these beads that I liked, and I thought there would be some that you would like. These are all gifts I have prepared for you over the years.”

In fact, Liu Demiao had wanted to bring his youngest daughter for a long time.

However, his mother passed away three years ago, and his daughter was observing mourning at home, which is why she couldn't come.

"Wow."

Chi Tang was stunned.

There must be at least a hundred or so strings of beads in total, right? They're all beads of various colors, some even tourmaline and agate.

Are they really that wealthy and powerful?

"So beautiful." Chi Tang could see nothing else in her eyes.

But there's so much stuff...

"Sister Yunzhao, there are too many, I can't accept them. The master said that one should not accept gifts without merit."

"Pfft, you said it yourself, it's the adults who say 'no reward without merit,' children never say that, okay?" Yun Zhao winked mischievously at Chi Tang.

"This is too expensive. How can a child accept such a valuable gift?" Aunt Chi also disagreed.

Facing her elders, Yun Zhao immediately put on a dignified and generous smile: "Auntie, it's because I like Tangtang. It's a friendship between us sisters."

"That's right, sister-in-law, you're being too polite. We shouldn't interfere in what's going on between these two girls."

Liu Demiao was very magnanimous.

He wanted to take his relationship with the Chi family to the next level, so why would he stop his daughter from getting close to Chi Tang?

Yun Zhao squeezed Chi Tang's chubby little hand, and looking at Chi Tang's hair that was all messed up from playing all day, he felt a strong urge to touch it.
