Seeing Li Yan let out a long sigh, Li Xiaomei stepped forward and jokingly asked, "Are you scared now?"
Li Yan scratched her head embarrassedly and smiled foolishly at Li Xiaomei.
Li Xiaomei rubbed Li Yan's hair and said distressedly, "No wonder your mother felt so distressed when she saw you. You've lost a lot of weight. I'm afraid you must have suffered a lot along the way!"
Li Yan stretched out her arms and gestured to her aunt: "Look, aunt, I'm really strong now!"
Li Xiaomei looked at Li Yan with amusement and urged, "Alright, go back to the house, wash up, and change your clothes!"
Li Yan nodded and returned to her room. She had been traveling for days and hadn't washed herself properly. She already smelled!
On the other side, Lin came to the courtyard and saw Lin Feng leading a group of people to pack up the goods on the carriage. Seeing the pregnant Lin, she hurried forward and happily called out, "Sister."
Everyone put down the goods in their hands and greeted Lin.
Lin quickly responded to everyone, "Thank you all for your hard work. Please stay home and eat today!"
At this time, Mr. Li and Mrs. Wu, who were next door, heard the commotion and hurried over to check. Seeing that it was Lin Feng who had returned, they were very happy! Mr. Li took Lin Feng and they chatted about their experiences on the way south.
Lin said to Wu, "Mother, my brother and his family are back today, so let's all have dinner here tonight. It's a rare occasion for us all to get together and have some fun!"
Mrs. Wu did not refuse. She nodded and said, "I'll go call your sister-in-law to help. I'm afraid that the two of you won't be able to handle the meals for so many people!" After that, she hurried to call Mrs. Liu.
Li Xiaomei: "Sister-in-law, Yan'er and the others came back unexpectedly and we weren't prepared. I'm going to go down the mountain and get two chickens to kill!"
Lin looked at the sky and said, "It's not dark yet. Why don't we go to Zhoujia Village and buy some fish? There will be so many people at night, and just chicken would be too simple!"
When Li Xiaomei heard her sister-in-law say this, her face couldn't help but blush. Ever since Li Yan followed Lin Feng south, Zhou Jia Dalang would come to the Li family every few days to send a few crucian carps, saying that Li Yan asked him to send the fish to Lin's body to supplement her health.
After a few interactions, the two became familiar with each other. Although this man was not talkative, he really took Li Xiaomei's words to heart.
Once when Zhou Dalang delivered fish, the two were chatting, and Li Xiaomei inadvertently mentioned that she liked river shrimps. Since then, Zhou Dalang would give some to Li Xiaomei from time to time.
At first, Li Xiaomei refused to accept it no matter what. Zhou Dalang put down the things and ran away. Li Xiaomei was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot.
Looking at the dazed Li Xiaomei, Lin suddenly realized that she had been inconsiderate and that it was indeed not appropriate for her to let her go to another village to buy fish alone. Lin changed her tone and said, "There's no rush. Please help me catch two chickens!"
Li Xiaomei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard her sister-in-law say this. She lowered her head and blushed as she walked out. She happened to bump into Wu who was walking towards her.
Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter running away with her head down and couldn't help shaking her head: "This child, how can she still be so reckless even at such a age!"
Mrs. Wu led her eldest daughter-in-law into the yard. When Mrs. Liu came in, she saw four or five animals parked at the door.
After entering the door, she couldn't help but look around. Seeing the cart racks parked in the yard piled high with goods, she couldn't help but feel envious. She looked at it seriously. The whole cart of neatly arranged fine cotton cloth made her jealous. She didn't know if she would get a share!
