A few days later, Magistrate Cao quickly set the specific date for the celebration, which was sometime after January of this year.
The magistrate first wrote a document about the matter and distributed it everywhere, and then he thought of Baili Wanwan's lovely smiling face.
Last time, Lin Lan intercepted him halfway, so he didn't have a chance to invite Baili Wanwan to come to the mansion for a visit.
If the little girl knew that the date for the celebration had been set, she would surely be very happy, wouldn't she?
Thinking of this, the magistrate summoned his son, Cao Chengye.
"Chengye, the celebration we're holding to thank Whale is scheduled for January or later this year. What do you think of that date?"
Upon being asked this question, Cao Chengye immediately bowed and said, "The dates that Father has chosen must be very auspicious. At that time, everyone will be free from farm work, and everyone should be able to attend the celebration."
“In that case, you should go and tell Wan’s daughter, Baili Wanwan, about this news. It was this little girl who suggested holding a celebration, so we should send someone to tell her.”
Cao Chengye naturally knew Baili Wanwan. He had occasionally seen the girl playing around at the beach and knew that she was a lively and cheerful girl.
"Yes, she should definitely know in advance. Here we go."
Cao Chengye bowed and left. He originally intended to go straight to the seafood restaurant, but halfway there he remembered that the little girl usually spent more time at the beach than at home, so he changed his route and went to the beach instead.
Sure enough, he ran into them on that trip.
Baili Wanwan is catching sea urchins with He Yong at the beach.
She was quite bold, her chubby little hands gripping the long spines of the sea urchin without any worry about getting pricked.
"Wanwan, I have something to tell you." Cao Chengye walked to the seaside and waved to Baili Wanwan in the near-shore area.
"I?"
Baili Wanwan pointed to herself. She hadn't expected what reason her brother Cao Chengye would give for coming to find her, but she still went ashore.
A string of cute little footprints were left behind.
"The specific date for the celebration has been set; it will be sometime after January this year."
Cao Chengye told Baili Wanwan the date, and sure enough, she exclaimed in surprise.
"Really! That's wonderful! Wanwan is so excited!"
Baili Wanwan jumped up excitedly, then, as if remembering something, said, "I'm going to tell Grandpa and the others this good news. They'll be just as happy as I am!"
After saying that, Baili Wanwan greeted Cao Chengye, picked up her shoes from the beach, and waved to He Yong in the sea.
"Brother He Yong, Wanwan has to go now, see you later!"
Before He Yong could swim up from the sea to ask her what was going on, Baili Wanwan had already run far away.
By the time she ran all the way home, her forehead was covered in sweat. She casually threw her shoes in the yard and ran inside barefoot.
"Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, come quick! Wanwan has good news!"
But no one responded to her calls.
After a long while, a listless voice rang out; it was Wan Yuechi who came out carrying a book.
"Wanwan, you're back! What good news do you have?"
Wan Yuechi looked dejected and walked listlessly to Baili Wanwan's side, but when he opened his mouth, he let out a long sigh.
"Hey, where did everyone go? Are you home alone?"
Baili Wanwan looked around and, seeing that there was really no one in the room, she then seriously examined Wan Yuechi. "Brother Yuechi, why do you look so tired? Is it because you've been reading... or... eating and drinking too much?"
"That's called working so hard you forget to eat and sleep."
Wan Yuechi was amused by her, but only for a brief moment. He glanced at the book, then sighed and shook his head.
"It's all about the same, so why is my brother looking like this?"
Baili Wanwan scratched her head sheepishly and asked with concern.
Wan Yuechi glanced at the little girl and, seeing that she genuinely wanted to help him solve his problems, handed her the book he was holding.
"I just can't understand the explanation of this sentence in the book. Why is it explained this way, and what is the allusion behind it?"
The book that Wan Yuechi handed over looked like an enigma to Baili Wanwan.
She neither understood nor could she truly explain the ancient saying to Wan Yuechi, so she could only put on a worried expression just like him.
She suddenly remembered that when she went to Xiao Qi's study to play with him before, she had seen the same book on his desk that looked like it gave her a headache.
Since these books are filled with things I can't understand, maybe Brother Xiao Qi can help Wan Yuechi?
Thinking of this, Baili Wanwan quickly pulled Wan Yuechi: "I understand. Although Wanwan can't help brother, Wanwan knows someone who can explain for brother!"
Wan Yuechi thought she was just trying to comfort him, so he shook his head, pushed Baili Wanwan away, and sat down on the side, muttering the sentence over and over again.
"It's true, Wanwan isn't just trying to fool you, brother. Come with me and you'll see!"
Baili Wanwan walked to Wan Yuechi's side and reached out to pinch the corner of Wan Yuechi's book.
"I don't have time to play with you right now, Wanwan, go play by yourself for a while, okay?" Wan Yuechi patiently took the book from Baili Wanwan's hands and spoke to her gently.
"Brother, please trust me just this once. I really know someone who can help you. Wanwan won't lie to you, brother."
Baili Wanwan pouted and tugged at Wan Yuechi, continuing to coax and plead, "Brother will definitely thank me after he goes there, let's go."
Unable to resist her nagging any longer, Wan Yuechi had no choice but to stand up and follow her to Xiao Qi's courtyard next door.
"Hey bro, my brother has a question he'd like to ask you!"
Baili Wanwan pulled Wan Yuechi along, then placed his book in front of Xiao Qi, looking at him expectantly, "Little brother, take a look quickly."
Xiao Qi was reading in his study when he suddenly saw Baili Wanwan's expectant little face. Before he could even speak, a book was shoved into his hand.
He didn't say much, but looked down at the contents of the book, which were things he had read before.
After Xiao Qi asked Wan Yuechi what he didn't understand, he carefully explained it to him.
Seeing that Xiao Qi could really answer Wan Yuechi's question, Baili Wanwan obediently withdrew and went to play in Xiao Qi's courtyard for a while.
After Xiao Qi explained everything to Wan Yuechi, Wan Yuechi's gaze towards Xiao Qi changed to one of respect.
"Your insights are indeed unique."
Wan Yuechi's eyes gleamed with excitement as he bowed deeply to Xiao Qi. "After listening to your guidance, I feel as if I've been enlightened. I have a request... I wish to become your disciple. Please accept my bow!"
Wan Yuechi spoke earnestly and in a loud voice, but his words were overheard by Wan Yuekui, who had just passed by.
