Mrs. Lin stood up and walked to Lin Feng, straightening her clothes. “Write a letter home when you have time to let them know you’re safe! Don’t be angry with Big Brother anymore!”
Lin Feng stiffened when he heard this, and nodded stiffly: "I'm leaving first, take care, sister."
Lin watched his brother disappear around the corner, and an indescribable emotion spread in his heart. In the blink of an eye, his brother seemed to have grown up, and Lin felt a sense of loss.
Li Yan was awakened by a knock on the door and when she got up she found it was already dusk.
Zhou Erlang came to pick up his little nephew and they played wildly for the whole morning. The two children slept soundly beside Li Yan.
He gently picked up the child, and the noise woke the sleeping child. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Tietou found that he was in Li Yan's arms at this time, and it seemed that he was more like in a dream.
Li Yan arched her little body like a spoiled child and whispered, "Uncle is here to pick you up!"
Tietou finally came to his senses and twisted his body to go find his uncle. Li Yan put him on the ground, straightened his clothes, and took his hand to the door.
Zhou Erlang bent down and picked him up, saying to Li Yan, "I'm really sorry today. Did he not make a fuss?"
Tietou hurriedly explained: "Tietou is very good and obedient! Right, sister?"
Li Yan smiled and said to him, "Tietou is a good boy. Welcome to come play again next time!"
When Tietou heard her say this, the little guy grinned and laughed happily.
After seeing Tietou off, Li Yan went back to the room to wake up Maomao. The little guy seemed to still want to sleep, but when he was suddenly woken up, he whimpered and started to cry.
Li Yan was afraid that he was going to cry, so she patted the little guy's butt, picked him up, and went out to find her aunt.
Only when the child was in the arms of his mother did he regain consciousness and twist his little body to go down to play.
After sending the child away, Li Yan came to her parents' room. The couple were sitting at the table talking.
Li Yan walked into the room and asked, "Have my uncle and the others returned?"
Lin replied: "After dinner, he hurried back. He also gave me ten taels of silver and said he would buy me whatever I wanted."
Li Yan's memories of her uncle are all from her childhood. At that time, her uncle, who was in his teens, often carried her outside to play. After coming back, the two of them were complained by Lin like mud monkeys.
Later, my uncle went out to do business, and I have seen him less and less in recent years.
At this time, Li Erlang said, "Our house is now built. I will go to the town every day tomorrow to copy books, and I can also browse other books there. You must take good care of your mother at home. If you need anything, go next door and call your grandparents."
Li Yan nodded in agreement.
After coming out of her parents' room, Li Yan returned to her own room, lay in the newly built house and began to think.
I thought it wouldn't cost much to build the house this time, with the most expenses being labor and ingredients.
It was just a beautiful ideal. But in reality, the wood for building the house, the marble for the toilet, and some miscellaneous items like pots and pans cost her nearly five taels of silver.
Now all he had left was the twenty taels of silver that Manager Qian had given him last time and a little over one tael of change for the New Year.
The house needs some more furniture, such as tables, chairs, benches, etc., which will probably cost another three or four taels.
When the weather gets cooler, she will have to prepare some warm clothes. In half a year, when Lin gives birth to a baby, she will also need to prepare some money. When she thinks about it, money will be needed everywhere.
