He wanted Lin Shuang to be the queen mother.
"Mother doesn't want to be a queen mother. My greatest wish is that you are all well." Lin Shuang was speechless and shook her head.
Lin Shuang shook her head. She just needed to change their plot line here and train some reliable people for Xiao Ce to use. The rest of the road would be much easier, and then she would go to pursue her own happiness.
Xiao Ce looked at Lin Shuang's appearance at this moment and felt a little panicked, as if something important was slipping away and he couldn't catch it.
"Okay, go take them out to play first. Mom will go cook. When they come as guests, they should have a meal before they leave."
"Mom, I'll light a fire for you later." Xiao Ce ran to his room and opened his wardrobe.
She took out a green shirt with bamboo leaves embroidered on it. Because she liked bamboo leaves, she would embroider a few bamboo leaves on each of her clothes.
This piece of clothing was quite large and had never been worn before, so I thought Li Dabao might be able to wear it, so I took it out, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, tied it into a knot, and placed it on the bed.
Then he went to the kitchen to help Lin Shuang light the fire.
Lin Shuang made a few simple dishes and didn't make any complicated ones because she didn't have enough time and it would take a long time to finish eating.
"Children, it's time to eat."
"Let's go, let's go, it's time to eat. Li Dabao, let's go wash our hands first."
Li Dabao followed them to wash his hands and sat at the dinner table, still a little dazed.
Are these dishes really edible for him?
There was chicken, fish, and meat. Li Dabao hesitated to pick up his chopsticks.
Lin Shuang asked softly.
"Li Dabao, why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"
"No, no, no, no, that's not it, Auntie. The food looked so good that I thought I was dreaming. How could I eat such delicious food?"
Li Dabao wondered if eating at his aunt's house like this might not be a good idea.
"What's the big deal? Dishes are meant to be eaten. Come on, eat. This is your first time here, and I think I didn't prepare enough dishes. Next time you have a day off, I'll make more."
"No, auntie, today is already troublesome."
"Eat it, the food won't taste good if it gets cold."
Only then did Li Dabao dare to pick up the food with his chopsticks.
As soon as the food entered his mouth, Li Dabao's eyes lit up, "Auntie's cooking skills are really good."
"That's right. My mother's cooking skills are better than any chef's." Xiao Jingyu replied directly.
Li Dabao nodded.
After the meal, the kids cleaned up the dishes and Xiao Ce took out his clothes.
"Li Dabao, this is a gift for you. You can look at it when you get home. You are not allowed to look at it now."
Li Dabao didn't dare to accept Xiao Ce's request. Their things were all good, and he had already spent a lot of his aunt's money. He couldn't do this anymore.
"No, I can't. Auntie invited me to dinner, and I'm already very grateful for your help at the academy today. How can I ask for anything else from you?"
Li Dabao shook his head and refused resolutely.
Xiao Jingyu rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say we are friends? Are you disgusted with me?" Xiao Jingyu said at last with a ferocious look on his face.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I really want to be friends with you, but as friends I can't ask for your things."
"This is a meeting gift for a friend, why can't I accept it?"
Li Dabao looked at them in embarrassment, took the bundle, opened it, and was shocked to see that it was a piece of clothing made of brocade.
It looks like it’s not cheap. Li Dabao doesn’t know what material it’s made of, but it looks very expensive and you can’t buy it with just a little money.
"I can't have it. It's too expensive."
Li Dabao immediately stuffed the clothes into Xiao Ce's arms.
"Take it. If you don't accept it, don't come to play with us in the future." After Xiao Ce said this, Li Dabao's expression looked like he was about to cry.
I want to be friends with them, but this dress might cost a few taels of silver, because He Feng's clothes are very similar to this one, and he asked for a few taels of silver.
Li Dabao knew that a few taels of silver could cover the family's expenses for a year, so how could he wear clothes that cost a few taels of silver?
Lin Shuang walked over.
"Li Dabao, just go ahead. This is Xiao Ce's intention."
"Aunt, this is very valuable. I don't have anything as good as this to pay you back."
Li Dabao lowered his head in disappointment.
"It's okay. You study hard. Xiao Ce will definitely be in the officialdom in the future. If you can get a position, it will be considered as helping Xiao Ce, right?"
Lin Shuang said this in a joking manner and quietly observed Li Dabao's reaction.
“Is this okay?
"Okay, as long as I become an official in the future, I will definitely help Xiao Ce." Li Dabao made up his mind.
"Take it."
Xiao Wangshu remembered the pair of shoes he made for his elder brother and ran into his room.
"Li Dabao, these are the shoes I originally made for my eldest brother. I'm giving them to you. They're new and have never been worn. Just consider it a thank you for blocking a kick for me in the cave."
Xiao Wangshu stuffed the shoes into Li Dabao's arms.
Li Dabao looked at them who were thinking about him like this, and he couldn't hold back his tears any more. They flowed down like a flood that broke through a dam.
She cried for a long time and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves.
"Thank you."
"It's getting late now, I'll take you home." Lin Shuang said.
"Okay, thank you, auntie." Li Dabao was holding the bag and shoes, feeling indescribably excited.
A lot of things happened today, but it was a blessing in disguise. I am very happy to be friends with them.
Lin Shuang touched Li Dabao's head and pulled Li Dabao out the door.
