Chapter 1127: It's Not Shameful to Think of a Daughter-

dling his social affairs. At the end of each month, check the shop's income and expenses once. If the shop needs adjustments, feel free to make bold arrangements.""Uncle, I won't!" Jia Yin quickly wav...A few young boys blushed and huddled around the old woman, a little shy, but none of them wanted to miss out on this closeness.

Especially Guo Wenhao, the old woman's nagging was like a gentle rain, nourishing his heart that was parched from loneliness.

Li Laosan followed soon after, also kowtowing to his mother. Looking at her flushed face, though with more white hair, he felt a twinge of bitterness in his heart. He asked her about the mundane details of her journey.

Grandma Li agreed, then spoke of Zhao Yuru: "My fourth daughter-in-law and I have returned, but there are still many things to attend to in the south. With so many mouths to feed, young and old, we can't just leave them without someone looking after them."

So, Yu Ru decided to stay behind. She brought you a letter, but it's too late to look for it now. I'll give it to you later tonight.

"Don't worry, Yuru is doing well. She's even more relaxed and efficient than when she was here."

Li Laosan was a little embarrassed. It was normal to think about his wife, but his mother's words made it seem like he couldn't leave her behind.

Especially when the boys are around...

He coughed twice and replied, "Mother, I understand. I'm so busy every day that I can't think about so much."

After finishing, he made up an excuse and left. Leaving the cat brother and several others who could only shrug and smile wryly.

Old Mrs. Li patted her grandson and instructed the several boys.

Don't think that men being considerate to their wives is a bad habit! Actually, if you think about it carefully, decades from now, parents and elders will pass away, and children will grow up and have families of their own.

The only ones who accompany you through both hardship and joy, through thick and thin, are your wives.

So, don't learn from those useless people who have three or four wives and fill a whole house with women, fighting each other day in and day out. That would be so stressful! Treat your wife well, and you'll live a happy and peaceful life.

Several young boys nodded, their faces even redder.

Finally, it was Liu Zhiheng's turn to step forward and pay respects, which naturally caused another flurry of excitement.

Jia Yin brought in a plate of chilled lychees from outside. Seeing that her brothers had all returned, she smiled and said, "I was worried that no one would pick the lychees, but luckily my brothers are here. After dinner, you guys can help me pick some more. We'll bring two baskets back to the academy tomorrow morning."

"I'll also send some to Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng, otherwise you two will have to run back and forth home every few days, I fear you'll be punished with copying books."

Brother Cat's eyes lit up with a smile, and he followed the topic, saying, "Sister, since you've already given me the lychees, don't be stingy with other good things either."

"Last time you gave me that half box of tea leaves, the head doctor accidentally tasted them and has been mentioning it to me for a long time. "

This time, I also used the excuse of coming back to get tea leaves so that I could bring Zhi Min Xiu Jie and Wen Hao back.

"Little sister must pity us so much. Please give your two older brothers some tea leaves as a reward! Otherwise, when we get back, we'll have to copy books until our beards grow two feet long!"

He was bowing and scraping, with Zhimin and Xiujie acting like playful children, begging incessantly.

Even Guo Wenhao felt a little embarrassed...

The village head, Zhao Shu, and Mr. Wen, as well as Li Laoer and others, all watched with amusement.

The village head praised even more, "Our children are really good. They've read so many books but they don't have any airs about them at all. They are truly lively and quick-witted!"

"That's right, not like those scholars outside, with their noses stuck in the sky." Zhao Shu also nodded, there was no doubt that his own grandson was loved.

Old Mrs. Li saw that her granddaughter's eyes were curved into smiles, and she knew this tea wouldn't embarrass her. So she chimed in, "Funiu, if you have tea leaves, bring some to your brother, otherwise, he'll be copying books until his beard is two feet long. He might not even have time to get married!"

Everyone burst into laughter again. Even the mischievous Cat-elder wasn't ashamed; he embraced his grandmother and showered her with flattering compliments, as if they were free.

Of course Jia Yin wouldn't be stingy.

Several years ago, Old Hei and others brought back a few tea trees from the south, which she planted on the edge of the nursery. The tea leaves produced now absorb the spiritual energy of this space, and are far superior to those grown elsewhere.

Even though her impromptu tea-stirring technique was quite poor, the brewed tea leaves produced a refreshing and invigorating drink with a long-lasting aftertaste. One sip was enough to invigorate and refresh her.

Not only is Dr. Zhou a connoisseur, but Li Laoliu, Mr. Wen, and Liu Zhiheng also hold him in high esteem.

At this moment, with the help of Mr. Cat, Mr. Wen and Li Lao Er and Liu Zhiheng were also eagerly looking at their little niece.

Jia Yin found the request amusing and readily agreed, giving Dr. Zhou two taels of silver. Mr. Wen and Second Uncle each received half a jin, as did Mr. Liu, who was not present.

Everyone was extremely satisfied, so Meow Ge and the others went to pick lychees, while the elders continued to chat and laugh.

Soon, the meal was also ready.

In Li's courtyard, torches were lit for illumination. People gradually took their seats, filling the space to capacity.

The rest of the villagers who couldn't fit inside sat down with tables and chairs outside the courtyard.

Actually, a lot of the time, getting together is just about the lively atmosphere and happiness. It doesn't really matter what we eat. But today, with the killing of pigs and sheep, the dishes are especially abundant, making the joy even greater by three points.

People were eating, drinking, talking and laughing.

The villagers talked about the drought in Suijin Beach, the decrease in hot spring water, and recent events in nearby villages.

Those who returned from the south spoke of the red-haired foreigners in Quanzhou, their houses as big as ships and so on.

For a moment, the evening breeze dashed about in the courtyard, running from place to place, eavesdropping on gossip and having a grand old time...

Finally, when it was late at night, the drunken young masters went home. The women also took their tired children away.

Only now was the Li family courtyard quiet.

Liu Zhiheng and the boys were naturally greeted by Li Laoer and Li Laosan and others.

After Jia Yin served her grandmother and mother back to the backyard for a rest, she then pestered them to sleep with her.

Grandma Li always spoils her granddaughter, never saying no to any of her requests.

Tao Hongying also had questions for her daughter, so she readily agreed.

Three people, old and young, finished taking a bath, their bodies dripping with sweat. Then, they put on cool pajamas, drying their hair while sharing personal stories.

Tao Hongying may seem forthright, but she is not heartless.

Especially for girlfriends who are like my heart and soul, I care about them even more.

Earlier, in the kitchen, Wan'er was busy helping out. When she saw Mao Ge and the others return, she casually said something.

If Jia Ren and Li Ge'er were at home, Lu Cong and Jia Xu and others would definitely come over too, then it would truly be lively.

As a result, Wan'er's complexion looked unnatural. She subconsciously glanced towards the courtyard several times.

At that time, besides the villagers, only Jia Yin was instructing Shui Ling to return to the County Princess's mansion to fetch fruit.

All through the night, she kept turning it over and over in her mind.

Lu Zonghe and Jia Xu were rumored to have some connection with the same female friend, but she couldn't figure out what it could be.

So, while she was combing her daughter’s hair, she tentatively asked, "Fu Niu'er, have you heard that the Third Princess and Lu Shizi got married Isn't it a bit hasty The Third Princess is not very old, and what about Jia Gongzi Has he been betrothed yet"

Grandma Li didn't know her daughter-in-law's thoughts and chuckled, chiming in, "Princess Three is still young, but Young Master Lu is quite old. He's about the same age as our Jiaren! It's time for him to get married! Look at our Jiaren, he already has so many grandkids!"

Two updates today ~~the warm kang beneath me was too hot, perhaps I had eaten too much for dinner.Let their restless hearts settle down slowly, and finally snores filled the house...A good sound wouldn't be so leisurely....
