Qin Yu didn't look at her, but looked at Shen Li who was coaxing her mother and watched her bring her mother back into the house.

"You see, my mother is ill and has no time to worry about you. Go back."

Shen Yanyan looked at Qin Yu gently: "Brother Qin, it's my fault. I shouldn't have come at this time. Then you take care of aunt first, and I will come to see her when she gets better."

Qin Yu nodded and went into the house.

Shen Yanyan looked into the room, but actually could not see anything. The windows and doors were closed, but she could hear sounds.

"How is my mother?"

"It's okay. I guess I was too tired. I ate half of the cake and fell asleep now."

Shen Yanyan clenched the handle of the basket she was holding. When did he become so gentle to Shen Li? He never paid attention to Shen Li's words before. He would only stop her impatiently when he was annoyed. Why is he like this now?

And Shen Li, why is she here again? She was obviously afraid of Qin Yueying before, but now she is taking care of her. What is going on?

It seems that all the changes started from Shen Li, Shen Li...

Originally she felt a little reluctant, because a few days ago, when she and Ma Zhu talked about Shen Li, he found someone to teach her a lesson, but now, she felt that it was still too light.

……

"Thank you for taking care of my mother."

"It's okay. I'm not looking at you. I told you before that I really like your aunt." Shen Li covered Qin Yueying with the quilt, then stood up and said.

"Ah."

"Did you give the injection this time?"

"I have applied it, but for some reason, it didn't work much this time."

"Then, will Auntie be able to recover after she wakes up?"

"I don't know. This time the illness lasted for a long time, already two days. I hope it will get better." Qin Yu said helplessly.

"If you need my help, you can come to me. I don't think your aunt is too opposed to me. I can still take care of her."

"Thank you."

"No, I owe you for saving my life."

Qin Yu smiled but didn't say anything. He actually wanted to tell her about how Shen Yanyan hugged him just now, but there was actually nothing to say, and she didn't seem to care.

Shen Li saw that he seemed to have something else to say: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"without……"

"Then I'll go back first."

There are still about ten days until the next time to sell the ointment. Shen Li thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well talk to Shen Liang about carving.

Now his carving is very good. At the beginning, the overall outline was good, and now it has become more delicate. This is what she wants. It is time to talk to Shen Liang about her ideas.

Shen Li called him to the yard and asked him to take his wooden box with him.

Shen Liang made a wooden box himself, and put all the things he used for carving in it, such as small pieces of wood and tools. There was nothing he could do about it, he just liked things to be tidy and not messy.

Shen Liang held the wooden box and placed it on the table: "Ali, what's the matter?"

"Second brother, how is the carving going now?"

“It looks OK, but I feel like there’s still room for improvement. I just can’t quite find the direction, so I have to grope my way forward bit by bit.”

Without a master to guide me, I have to rely on myself for everything. It is already good enough to be able to achieve this. It shows my great talent.

"It's okay, take your time. I want to talk about something else. Second brother, do you want to use your carving skills to make money?"

"Make money? Will anyone buy it?"

"Just tell me whether you want to concentrate on your research or do you want to earn money while doing research."

Shen Liang said without hesitation: "Of course I want to make money. Although I like these things, I don't want to do them completely as a hobby. If I can make money, it would be the best of both worlds."

He actually really wanted to make money. Among the several people in the family, he seemed to be the only one who was useless. If his eldest brother could study hard and pass the imperial examination, it would bring honor to the family.

The third brother knows martial arts, so he can hunt prey now to improve the family's food, and maybe he can sell some of it in the future to supplement the family income. Maybe when his martial arts skills get better in the future, he can go out and explore the world, and naturally earn a future for himself.

Now Shen Li can earn money to support the family, buy food and daily necessities for the family, buy clothes for the brothers, and pay for the eldest brother's education. The family's life has become so good now, all thanks to her.

Only he helps with some things, but those things can be done by anyone, and it is not necessary for him. If he can make money with his skills, it would be a blessing.

Although Shen Liang was extremely excited, his expression did not change. He remained as silent as usual.

"Brother, this is what I think." Shen Li took out the picture he had drawn before: "Look at something like this, can you carve it out?"

"What is this? I've never seen it before." Shen Liang looked at the thing drawn on the paper. It seemed to look like a human, but it was not the same. The clothes it wore also looked like sheep, dragons, and chickens.

That’s right, Shen Li drew blind box dolls of the twelve zodiac animals, the kind with big eyes and cute cartoon versions. The hat and clothes on the outside reflect the attributes of animals, but the facial features are human.

Her painting was not very detailed, but she still drew the basics. She even drew other versions so that Shen Liang could understand what kind of effect she wanted.

The main thing is to let him understand the essence of cartoons.

"Second brother, this is the Chinese zodiac. The inside is a cartoon character, and the costumes outside are used to reflect what it is, such as rabbit ears, chicken combs, and tiger patterns."

"Cartoon?"

"Yes, it's cute, adorable, silly, like a kind of simulacrum."

Shen Liang took the paper and looked at it carefully, his eyes almost glued to it: "Although I still don't quite understand what you are talking about cartoon, but I can try it according to what you drew on the paper."

"You can try carving it and then show it to me. My drawing is not that lifelike. After carving it, I will tell you what needs to be modified according to your carving."

"Okay." Shen Liang finally raised his head: "But A-li, are you going to sell this thing for money? If I sell the ones I carved before at a lower price, someone might buy them as a decoration. Will anyone buy this weird thing of yours?"

"Carve it out first. Once you've carved it, we can talk about the next step. Trust me, second brother."

Shen Liang nodded and began to study and try to carve it.

Shen Li couldn't explain too much to him now. After the dolls were carved out, he would buy paint to paint them and then make a wooden box to put them in. It would be a real blind box. Carving from wood is definitely not as good as modern craftsmanship, but if it is carved well, it is also good.

What blind boxes sell is not the things themselves, but a kind of curiosity. After buying it, you don’t know what’s inside. If you want to collect the whole set, you have to keep buying it, which can even be addictive, so there is no need to worry about sales at that time.
