In order to make a good impression on Qiu Yan, the two of them have been helping to plant herbs in Qiu Yan's medicinal herb field.
Qiu Yan knew that these two wouldn't stay obediently in the Forget-Worry Hall.
Ling Ba was quite diligent when it came to farm work, but Ling Qi was just dawdling.
Every day, he would inevitably be criticized by Old Zhao.
Ling Qi, who was being criticized by Old Zhao, was quite humble and gradually began to enjoy it, saying that Qiu Yan should pay them their wages.
Ling Qi had only just become familiar with planting herbs when, unexpectedly, he was entangled with Gu Xiaoran.
"Uncle Ling Qi, come play with me in the mountains and forests."
Because of Qiu Yan's punishment, Gu Xiaoran hadn't played with the slingshot for several days, and he really wanted to play with it.
Unfortunately, Zhu Juan didn't go with him.
Zhu Juan didn't want Gu Xiaoran to be in any danger.
Ling Qi was forced to accompany Gu Xiaoran to the mountains and forests to hunt birds and catch fish.
Of course, they never returned empty-handed.
As a result, Li Zheng's ranch has seen a significant increase in prey.
With more free time, Zhu Juan stayed home and began learning to cook from Qiu Yan.
She did this, of course, for Gu Xiaoran, that little foodie.
After several days of recuperation, Zhao Qiuyue's facial injuries have largely healed.
Regarding Zhao Chunhua's eyes, Qiu Yan applied cold compresses to them twice, and then began applying hot compresses.
They also used wound medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
The little girl's eyesight gradually improved.
Qiu Yan was finally relieved.
Today, as dusk approached and it grew late, Qiu Yan instructed everyone to call it a day. Afterwards, Zhao Qiufeng and the others went home one after another.
With the courtyard quiet, Qiu Yan prepared to take a hot bath to relieve her fatigue.
Knowing Qiu Yan's habits, Zhu Juan took the initiative to do the work and started boiling water.
Just then, there was a knock on the courtyard gate from the outside.
At this point, who will come?
Qiu Yan got up and opened the door, only to see a girl standing in front of it.
"Excuse me, is this the Qiu family's residence?"
The girl's voice carried a hint of doubt.
The courtyard in front of her, made of blue bricks, was tall and sturdy, quite different from what she had imagined.
Ling Ba, who was practicing martial arts to strengthen his body in front of the stream, saw the girl and stopped his moves, focusing only on protecting Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan took a serious look at the girl in front of her.
The girl has a sweet appearance.
A blue floral headscarf wrapped around her hair bun, her long hair cascading down her back, with two symmetrical braids on each side.
She wore a light blue coarse cloth dress. Although her clothes were simple, they were clean and plain, and she looked pure and lovely.
Qiu Yan felt that this was exactly what the girl next door should look like in her imagination.
That's right, due to prolonged malnutrition, the girl looked pale and thin.
Perhaps due to the journey, she looked tired and her body felt weak.
Qiu Yan carefully checked and confirmed that she did not know her, but she looked vaguely familiar.
While Qiu Yan was carefully observing the girl, the girl was also carefully observing Qiu Yan.
After looking her over, she asked, "Are you Xiaoyan?"
Qiu Yan nodded, looking at the girl in front of her with a puzzled expression. "You know me?"
Hearing Qiu Yan's question, the girl's tired face lit up with joy. "Xiao Yan, it really is you. I'm your cousin, Xia Minmin."
"Cousin?" Qiu Yan asked repeatedly, but she really had no recollection of the girl in front of her.
Seeing Qiu Yan's surprised expression, Xia Minmin explained:
“My mother’s name is Guo Hui, and she is your eldest aunt. It’s not surprising that you don’t recognize me. Our two families have lost contact since my younger aunt passed away. I started my journey early this morning to find you, and I’ve only just arrived at your house.”
