In the afternoon, Li Yan told the Li family about Dayong's life story. Perhaps because the child helped her daughter, Mrs. Wu was full of love for the child!
Looking at the boy who was busy eating at the table, Mrs. Wu put a piece of meat into his bowl and said, "Don't be so reserved. Eat your food!"
At this time, the little cousin also extended the bowl in front of Wu: "Grandma, you are partial, I want it too!"
Everyone was amused by the little guy, and Dayong was also infected by the cheerful atmosphere and stopped having wild thoughts.
After dinner, Wu sent Daya to go back with Li Yan, while Dayong stayed at Old Li's house.
Daya followed her second uncle back to the next room. Looking at the spacious house, she felt a little cramped standing in it.
Li Yan led her cousin into her room and patted the bed: "Sister, you clean up first, I'm going to go to my mother's place!"
"Go ahead, I'm not Maomao and I don't need you to accompany me!"
Li Yan came to her parents' room and knocked on the door.
Li Erlang saw that it was his daughter and hurriedly waved her in: "I have to go to the county government office tomorrow, you stay at home with your mother!"
Li Yan asked curiously, "Dad and Aunt's problem has been resolved, right? Why are you still going to the government office?"
Li Erlang told the two that the county magistrate had asked him to do some clerical work today.
"This is great! Dad can not only see books he's never seen before in the county government office, but he can also make money. It's really killing two birds with one stone!"
Li Erlang nodded his daughter's head and said, "Alright, go back to sleep! You've been running around all day!"
Li Yan was indeed tired. After a simple wash, she went back to her room to rest.
Because there was an extra person on the bed, Li Yan didn't sleep well that night.
In the early morning, Li Yan was yawning while eating breakfast.
Seeing her daughter looking listless, Mrs. Lin stepped forward and touched her forehead: "Are you sick? Why are you so weak?"
Li Yan pushed her mother's hand away: "I'm sleepy. Because there was someone else next to me, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep last night!"
When Mrs. Lin heard her daughter say this, she scolded her, "I've spoiled you. How come I didn't realize you had this bad habit before?"
Li Yan just laughed foolishly.
Li Yan, who was eating breakfast, suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "I forgot. The furniture I asked Uncle Youcai to make a few days ago should be finished. I'll go check it out."
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but shake her head as she looked at her noisy daughter. Her daughter had been behaving very maturely and steadily these days, and this was how she should behave like a child.
Li Yan finished her porridge in a few bites, went next door to call Daya, and the two of them went to Uncle Youcai's house together.
As soon as they arrived at Uncle Youcai's house, Aunt Zhao saw the two of them at the door. She quickly put down her work and came to greet them.
"Come in, come in. I was just about to look for you. Your uncle has prepared everything you want. Come and have a look!" Aunt Zhao enthusiastically took Li Yan's hand and walked in.
Several people came to the tool room where Uncle Youcai worked, and saw Uncle Youcai painting the finished furniture.
Seeing Li Yan and her group, Li Youcai didn't stop what he was doing. After watching Uncle Youcai finish brushing the last bench, he stood up and said, "Are you here?"
Aunt Zhao enthusiastically pulled Li Yan through the finished tables, chairs, and benches. "Take a look, are you satisfied? The trees used to make these tables, chairs, and benches were all hand-picked by your uncle himself. There's no mistake! Look at the carvings on the headboard, how rich and festive they are!"
Looking at Aunt Zhao, who looked very proud, Li Yan smiled and nodded, "Uncle, how much do these things I ordered cost?"
Youcai wiped his hands and said, "Just like we agreed, I'll give you one or two taels of silver! I made you a few small stools with the extra wood. If you don't mind, you can take them back!"
When Li Yan heard Uncle Youcai say this, she was very happy: "Don't mind, my family is in need of it! Thank you for your help, Uncle Youcai!" Then she took out one or two taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao took the money and was so happy that she was not even interested.
