"Really?" Li Mantian was skeptical. His bookworm could actually teach? If he could teach effectively, becoming a teacher would be a viable career path!
Ye Shuang nodded, her round eyes full of seriousness: "It's true, Father, please let me continue learning from my brother!"
Li Mantian hesitated for a long time before finally nodding: "Alright then, but if you don't want to learn anymore, just tell your father anytime. Shuang'er, you're still young! Now is the age to go out and play. There are quite a few children your age in the village. Once you get to know them, you probably won't have time to learn anymore!"
Ye Shuang thought for a moment, and then said with great certainty, "It's okay, I'll study at home with my brother and then go out to play!"
Li Mantian had no choice but to agree: "Alright then, but you've learned enough for today, let's continue tomorrow! How about we go out with Daddy to find an uncle later? This uncle happens to have a little sister who's only two or three years older than you!"
Ye Shuang could only nod in agreement. She was then carried into the main room, where Bai Xue was warming herself in a corner. It was getting colder and colder outside, and if possible, she preferred to stay inside.
What Ye Shuang didn't expect was that Li Wenyi had overheard the entire conversation!
In that instant, Li Wenyi's heart was filled with emotion. He never expected that Shuang'er would like him to teach her so much. Not to mention the slightest grievance, even if there was a huge injustice, at this moment, it all turned into a feeling of relief. Shuang'er has become sensible!
They hadn't been sitting in the main room for long when Li Mantian carried Ye Shuang out. Before leaving, he told Li Shi that he wouldn't be back for lunch.
Ye Shuang was somewhat surprised. It seemed this person had a very good relationship with Li Mantian! They even had lunch there!
When the harvest is bad, a meal can be worth a fortune! Not to mention that Li Mantian has quite an appetite, and he also has Ye Shuang, a child who is not yet a child, to take care of!
Li Mantian did not hesitate at all, and led Ye Shuang through the village, winding and turning until they arrived at a thatched hut.
This house was much more dilapidated than their home. The courtyard wall was just a simple fence made of a few dead trees. However, the land in the yard had been well utilized, and there were traces of cultivation.
If the harvest from the main fields is poor, the harvest from this yard must be even less.
Li Mantian, however, acted as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, and simply pushed open the door and walked in: "Zhao Xiaodao, I've brought my daughter to see you!"
Listen to that boastful tone! If she were Zhao Xiaodao, she probably would have already harbored resentment before even seeing Li Mantian!
Unexpectedly, an even more cheerful and laughing voice came from inside the house: "Come in quickly! Let me see just how wonderful your precious daughter really is!"
Li Mantian pushed open the door and went in.
Ye Shuang took one look inside the house. It was very clean and there was no cold wind blowing in from time to time. Instead, it was quite warm. Although the thatched house was small, it had everything you needed. Although it couldn't compare to their family's several rooms, it was still quite cozy.
The man named Zhao Xiaodao was sitting at the table in the room just inside the entrance. He looked very thin, but when he stood up, he was surprisingly tall!
Next to Zhao Xiaodao sat an auntie wearing an earth-colored cotton-padded jacket, who looked extremely clean and simple. A little girl who looked only seven or eight years old stood next to Auntie Zhao.
