Zhiyin happily put the deed into her pocket, noticing that it was already around three or four in the afternoon.
Thinking that Zhihua might have already finished her exams and come out, she quickly tidied everything up so as not to keep her waiting.
He then spent 30 coins to buy 3 sugar paintings and 6 meat buns by the roadside before heading towards the mule cart.
"Sister~"
Sure enough, before she even reached the mule cart, she saw Zhihua smiling sweetly and waving at her.
"You must be hungry after such a long drawing exam, right? Here, have a meat bun to tide you over."
Zhiyin smiled and handed Zhihua a meat bun.
The two sat by the mule cart, each finishing a large meat bun and a sugar painting, before slowly making their way home.
"Sister, the sugar painting is so delicious!"
"I want to eat again next time I draw."
Sitting on the mule cart, Zhihua playfully swung her toes and licked her lips, saying happily.
It seems I can still taste the sweet flavor of sugar painting.
"I'll buy you another one tomorrow. Don't eat it today, so you don't get cavities."
Zhiyin smiled slightly as she drove the carriage, chatting casually with Zhihua.
"Okay, sister."
Zhihua nodded sweetly. She must have expended a lot of energy today, because she soon leaned against the mule cart and fell asleep.
Hearing the faint breathing behind her, Zhiyin knew that Zhihua was tired, so she slowed down her pace even further.
When Yao Yulin got home, she had already prepared a large table full of food.
The dishes include spicy potato slices, stir-fried shredded pork, spicy rabbit meat, and boiled cabbage.
It's simple yet very cozy.
Ever since Zhiyin taught Yao Yulin that adding chili peppers to stir-fries would make them spicier and tastier, Yao Yulin has added chili peppers to almost every dish she makes.
Knowing that Zhiyin and Zhihua like stir-fried dishes, even though they know it's a waste of oil, they rarely boil them in water like before.
"Eat your food, Huahua and Yinyin. You've both worked hard today."
Yao Yulin kept adding meat to Zhiyin and Zhihua's bowls, feeling sorry for them.
I didn't ask how Zhihua did on the exam; I'll know the answer the day after tomorrow anyway.
"Okay, Mom, you eat too."
Zhiyin smiled and added meat to Yao Yulin's bowl as well.
"Mom's cooking is getting better and better, it goes so well with rice!"
While eating, Zhihua kept praising Yao Yulin, making Yao Yulin smile from ear to ear.
"If it's delicious, Mommy will make it for you every day from now on!"
Yao Yulin feels that her life is really happy now. Her two children are well-behaved and cute, and she doesn't have to worry about them at all.
All she had to do was go to the chicken and duck sheds twice a day to help feed the chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits, and help cook meals for the helpers.
"By the way, Mom, where's the coal?"
Zhiyin belatedly realized that something seemed to be missing from the house, and quickly looked at Yao Yulin.
You know, Coal Ball used to be so enthusiastic at mealtimes, always making a slurping sound as it shoveled rice. Why didn't I see it today?
"It's playing with the chickens in the henhouse with Mengmeng and Yuanyuan."
Yao Yulin said with amusement, and seeing that Zhiyin frowned because of her words, she couldn't help but reach out and smooth her brows, scolding her, "Girls shouldn't frown so much, it doesn't look good."
After saying that, he added, "Don't worry, they are very intelligent and won't bite the chickens."
Only then did Zhiyin finally feel relieved.
After all, she was genuinely afraid that the coal ball might accidentally kill the chicken, which would be a tragedy.
After dinner, Zhiyin took a stroll around the construction site to check on the progress of the project.
Seeing that the house had already begun to take shape in just about a week, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Yinyin, why did you come here? Go sit over there quickly, it's too dirty here, there's a lot of ashes and debris, and the materials are sharp, it wouldn't be good if you accidentally hurt yourself."
Upon seeing their confidant arrive, the laborers who were still working couldn't help but become nervous for some reason.
Although they knew that Zhiyin was easy to get along with and that they weren't slacking off, they still couldn't help but tense up.
Zhiyin nodded with a smile, "It's alright, uncles, aunts and uncles, I'm just looking around. You can go about your business and don't worry about me."
"By the way, everyone must pay attention to safety while working."
"Okay, don't worry, Yinyin."
Seeing this, everyone finally felt relieved and began to go about their own business.
After finishing her sentence, Zhiyin didn't linger any longer. Instead, she ran to the chicken coop and leisurely leaned against Mengmeng's warm and cozy body, lying on the grass and admiring the starry sky of ancient times, untouched by air pollution.
"It was so much better in ancient times. The moon was so big and round, and there were so many stars."
Zhiyin reached out and looked at the starry sky that seemed within reach, listening to the sounds of chickens and ducks around her. She felt very comfortable and had a long-lost sense of peace and tranquility.
But Zhiyin didn't stay long. After silently admiring the scene for about half an hour, he returned home.
He took out paper and pen and started writing and drawing on the picture.
She doesn't plan to sell glutinous rice, spicy crayfish, or snails tomorrow.
Because she had already sold almost all the crayfish and snails from the ditch behind the mountain and the ditch next to Xiaoya's house.
This thing hasn't been specifically bred artificially, so there aren't many of them.
If we want to sell them again, we'll have to look elsewhere, which is quite troublesome.
I'm not planning to go for now.
She plans to open a dry pot restaurant, so the tables definitely can't be the same as those in ordinary restaurants; they have to be custom-made.
Also, since it's a dry pot dish, a special iron pot is required.
"My dear friend, open the door! Open the door for us, please!!"
Just as Zhiyin was writing, drawing, and pondering, a loud banging sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Along with that came the familiar loud voices of my aunt and grandmother.
Zhiyin frowned instantly, wondering why these two had suddenly come looking for her again.
After all, the two of them had tried to get her prescription before, but instead of getting anything, they were beaten up by her and hadn't dared to show their faces in front of her for a long time, always keeping a low profile.
What's gotten into them today?
That's what she thought, but Zhiyin glanced at Yao Yulin and Zhihua, who had been woken up, and seeing Yao Yulin getting up with sleepy eyes, she directly pressed her back down.
"Mom, I'll go!"
After saying that, his eyes turned cold, he slammed his hand on the table, got up, and went outside.
The grandmother and aunt outside the door seemed startled by the sudden sound of Zhiyin slamming the table, and remained silent for a long time.
It wasn't until Zhiyin opened the door with a sullen face and displeasure that he couldn't help but swallow hard. Before Zhiyin could even speak, he immediately burst into angry curses, "Zhiyin, you are absolutely despicable!"
Why do you have such ill intentions?
"Why do you have to be so heartless? It's one thing if you don't help us, but why kick us when we're down? And why are you deliberately picking a fight?"
"Are you jealous because we've made money too, so you did this on purpose? How could you be so vicious?"
