Chen Yourun, who was working diligently, did not notice his wife's gaze. With his movements, his arms bulged and stretched due to the force he exerted, as if they contained endless power.
Yin Lan felt it was bigger than her two calves combined...
As he swung the hammer, his clothes torn open, revealing his pectoral muscles through a thin layer of clothing. They bulged out like hard rocks in Yin Lan's eyes.
This man has a great physique.
Even without seeing it in person, Yin Lan felt that with chest muscles already like that, it was impossible for him not to have abs or anything like that.
His long legs were straight and powerful, and with each movement, his muscles were strong and muscular, as if made of steel.
this....
Just as Yin Lan subconsciously swallowed,
Chen Yourun seemed to sense something and his gaze suddenly shot over.
Yin Lan was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Chen Yourun raised an eyebrow slightly, silently asking her what was wrong.
Yin Lan silently swallowed her saliva.
Just... a handsome man standing straight, radiating energy, raising his eyebrows... he's freaking so handsome!
She silently shook her head, clutched her chest, and turned away.
Beautiful scenery, delicious food, and handsome men.
For the first time, Yin Lan felt that God had truly been kind to her by bringing her to this place.
But then I thought about it... and seeing my own skinny arms, the difference was just too big, so I decided to leave.
The kids over there listened to the teacher recite the Three Character Classic today and realized, oh, so that's what it means. It has absolutely nothing to do with pigs.
Everyone learned the four lines, and then they began to learn how to write horizontal lines.
After studying for a while, Liu Jing let the children rest for fifteen minutes.
When studying, you can't just read books without thinking; you need to balance rest and hard work, and the results will be better.
The kids swarmed over, and seeing how fun it was to stomp in the mud, they all gathered around and joined in.
Although the child's feet were small, the large number of people actually sped up the process.
Their playful antics made the little hut incredibly lively.
Yin Lan smiled as she looked at the scene before her. Suddenly, instinctively, she turned her head and saw a head immediately shrinking back beside the house.
Yin Lan walked over, and the head that was just about to stick out bumped into Yin Lan.
Da Dong quickly apologized.
Yin Lan asked him, "Why didn't you come to help today? Was it because Aunt Yin gave you bad food and you didn't want to come?"
Da Dong quickly waved his hand.
He ate well, he ate too well, and Aunt Yin even gave his sister clothes. There was no better person in the world than Aunt Yin.
That's why he was embarrassed to come.
Yin Lan chuckled to herself. This kid had been eavesdropping and peeping outside all day long.
Do you want to study?
Da Dong nodded subconsciously, then realized what he was doing and shook his head frantically like a rattle-drum.
"I...don't...have no money."
"I'm not asking if you have money, I'm asking if you want to study."
Da Dong shook his head, and then gradually slowed down as he shook it. Finally, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
He seemed to have made a great decision before slowly nodding.
He seemed to think he was overestimating himself; he couldn't even afford a single penny, so how could he dare to say he wanted to study?
Da Dong turned to run, but Yin Lan caught him before he could.
Do you have any stools at home?
Da Dong nodded, puzzled.
"Bring it over tomorrow."
Yin Lan said to the bewildered Da Dong, "Aunt Yin doesn't have that much money either, but if you help with some chores around the house, I can help you out. I told you that Teacher Liu said it's fine for you to listen in on things. Are you willing?"
Da Dong was a little confused and didn't understand what Yin Lan meant for a long time.
After a long while, he finally realized what was happening and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Really...really?"
Yin Lan smiled and looked at Da Dong.
This tattered, emaciated child was just a child, but because he had suffered so much and shouldered the burden of his family at such a young age, he had a special maturity about him.
At this moment, Da Dong seemed to have finally returned to his rightful age, jumping up high and down with a wide grin, spinning around in circles.
As he spun around, he slowly stopped, his face beaming with immense joy, yet tears silently streamed down his cheeks.
A faint watermark appeared on his dirty face.
He wiped it off, but it smudged.
Then he knelt down immediately.
Yin Lan was startled. Before she could refuse, the child had already kowtowed heavily, one after another.
No matter how much Yin Lan tried to persuade him, he insisted on taking three pills before he would stop.
His forehead was already red and swollen, which showed how much force he had used.
But Da Dong's eyes were sparkling, tears kept welling up, his lips were twitching, and he was both crying and laughing on his face, which was very strange.
"Aunt Yin, if I ever amount to anything in the future—no, regardless of whether I succeed or not—I will definitely repay you! I will...buy you the best clothes, the best food, the most expensive jewelry! The most land...the most..."
Yin Lan found it funny.
But alas... this child is so simple and kind, and so pitiful. She really didn't do anything special, just a small favor, but the child...
"Studying hard is the best way to repay her. If you don't make it into the top three, Aunt Yin will be angry."
Da Dong replied confidently, "Mhm!"
Yin Lan then took out the two sand slabs that Chen Yourun had made earlier and gave them to Da Dong.
"Xiao Xi is welcome to come if she wants."
Da Dong's tears, which he had just finished, started falling again.
They even prepared this! They actually prepared it a long time ago...
Aunt Yin...
He would respect and love Aunt Yin as if she were his mother.
Without saying a word, Da Dong carefully packed up his things and immediately joined the crowd stomping in the mud, working the hardest.
At first, Erwa refused to study, not realizing how precious the opportunity to study was.
Especially in rural areas like this, a family might spend their entire life toiling in the fields and still not be able to afford to send one child to school.
Having the opportunity to study is something many children dream of but never get.
Da Dong always thought he was lucky to have survived, but he never expected that he would have the chance to go back to school!
Aunt Yin was like a second parent to him, and he would never forget her kindness.
On this day, Yin Lan managed to make a small leather jacket.
Dinner was quite plentiful. Everyone was full of energy today, and the clay preparation is basically complete. We can start making mud bricks tomorrow.
Chen Yourun already had the molds, so there was no need to make new ones. Tomorrow, a few grown men could put the clay into the molds, press it into shape, and then dry and fire it. The finished mud bricks could then be used to build houses.
