"Sister, haven't we got back all the food that was distributed to our family? Where did these come from?" Shitou took the bag of food from Lu Chengjing's lap, weighed it, and it was quite heavy.

Shang Wan said: "These are gifts to thank your brother-in-law for helping with the accounts."

Shitou said "Oh" and was about to carry the bag to the wooden shed, but Shang Wan stopped him and said, "Wait, let me ask you, why is your brother-in-law so skilled in accounting?"

Shitou scratched his head, looked in the direction of Lu Chengjing, and asked in confusion: “Sister, why don’t you ask your brother-in-law directly?”

Shang Wan thought to himself, isn't this just teasing someone and making them annoyed?

"Just tell me when I ask you."

Shitou then said, "There is a Master Ouyang in the county school who is very good at mathematics. My brother-in-law often asks Master Ouyang for advice. Master Ouyang praises my brother-in-law for his talent in mathematics. After Mr. Qiao knew about it, he always slacked off and asked my brother-in-law to help him calculate the accounts in the shop. After a while, with my brother-in-law's intelligence, he naturally became proficient."

Shang Wan: “…”

Qiao Yu'an is really generous. He actually asked Lu Chengjing, an outsider, to help with such an important matter as accounting.

"Sister," Shitou leaned closer to Shang Wan, his voice so low that it was almost a whisper, "Don't tell brother-in-law that I told you. You also know our situation in the Lu Mansion before. The third house was the poorest. Mr. Qiao asked brother-in-law to help with the accounts, partly because he was lazy, and partly to find an excuse to help us."

"If my brother-in-law disagrees, he will throw a tantrum and force my brother-in-law to help."

Shitou squinted his eyes and spoke well of Qiao Yu'an, "Mr. Qiao sometimes speaks harshly, but he is not a bad person. Sister, if he offends you, please be gentle with him for the sake of your brother-in-law."

Shang Wan: “…”

Is she such a violent person?

She waved her hand, "I know. I know my limits."

Only then did Shitou leave with the cloth bag.

Master He Sizhi and his apprentice were packing their luggage in the shed. Liangliang was sitting on a small bench outside the shed, with his head lowered, staring at the shadow on the ground in a daze.

I don't know when Yuanyuan came over. She held the little turtle lying on her head with her two little hands. She looked at her own shadow for a while, and then turned to look at Liangliang's shadow.

The little girl blinked her big eyes and soon got bored. She freed one of her hands to pat the little brother next to her and handed the little turtle over.

Watching the turtle retract its head into its shell, Liangliang reached out and pushed the turtle back, turned his body, changed direction and continued to stare at the shadow in a daze.

Yuanyuan glanced at the little turtle, put it on her head, skillfully crawled to the direction Liangliang was facing, and then handed the little turtle to Liangliang.

The little baby voice was soft and tender, "Turtle, play!"

Liangliang looked at her, hugged his legs, changed direction, and continued to be in a daze.

Yuanyuan:? ? ?

Why is this little brother so fat?

The little girl puffed up her cheeks and tried to compete with Liang Liang. Whenever Liang Liang turned around, she would chase him. When Liang Liang turned around again, she would chase him again. When Liang Liang turned around again, she would chase him again. When Liang Liang turned around again, she would chase him again.

Liangliang was spinning faster and faster like a top, and Yuanyuan was chasing him faster and faster. His little head began to feel dizzy, and his little hand accidentally supported on the smooth turtle shell, and he slipped out and was about to fall flat on his face.

Two little hands with rough skin quickly stretched out and lifted Yuanyuan up.

Liangliang put the fluttering little ball of meat with its short arms and legs aside, turned around and continued to daydream.

Yuanyuan frowned and stopped chasing her this time. She pouted her pink little mouth, grabbed the hem of Liangliang's clothes and pulled her towards herself.

An ordinary one-year-old baby naturally doesn't have much strength, but Yuanyuan is a superpower, and Liangliang was caught off guard and was almost pulled off the stool by Yuanyuan.

This time he didn't look at the shadow, but stared at Yuanyuan without blinking, as if he saw something rare.

Seeing that the little brother was willing to pay attention to her, Yuanyuan pointed at the little turtle on the ground with her round little hand, "Turtle, turtle."

Liangliang looked over and nodded.

Yuanyuan happily placed small stones, small wooden sticks, etc. to create obstacles on the little turtle's way. Every time the little turtle climbed over an obstacle, she clapped her hands happily, as if the little turtle had accomplished something very remarkable.

Even though Liangliang has a tendency to develop autism, he is only a ten-year-old child after all. He does not think that the little turtle crawling over an obstacle is a big deal and worth applauding and celebrating.

Yuanyuan puffed up her cheeks and looked at him with her big, bright and clear eyes. To be more precise, she looked at his motionless hands.

She took a look, raised her little hands and waved them in front of her little brother, took another look, waved both hands together, took another look, and started clapping her hands.

Liangliang still didn't move, just stared at the little turtle.

Yuanyuan puffed up her cheeks unhappily, folded her arms, and stared at Liangliang's hands with her big eyes.

Liangliang's eyes moved and he felt an inexplicable chill on his back. Under Yuanyuan's gaze, he slowly raised his hands and clapped his hands twice.

Yuanyuan was happy now and started clapping again. For some reason, Liangliang followed her rhythm and started clapping too.

With the encouragement of the two, the little turtle crawled faster and faster, completely ignoring the obstacles on the road.

When the little turtle turned back, Yuanyuan quickly put the pebbles back on. She only put one pebbles on the ground and then turned her little head to look at Liangliang. Her big eyes were brighter than the stars in the dark night.

Liangliang couldn't help but join the team setting obstacles for the little turtle.

The big and the small cooperated more and more tacitly. Yuanyuan giggled and Liangliang couldn't help laughing too.

He Sizhi heard the laughter and came out to see this scene. For some reason, his eyes felt a little sore.

He didn't make a sound to disturb them, but quietly sat down cross-legged and watched the two children play.

When Gao Yan and Ma Jieyong saw this, they didn't say anything, but sat down and watched.

The three grown men, with loving faces, quietly accompanied the two children to watch the turtle obstacle race. Under the moonlight, the scene was somewhat indescribably weird.

Shang Wan paused and deliberately made some noise.

"Mom!" Yuanyuan was the first to look over, her eyes instantly curved into two crescents.

Shang Wan picked him up with a smile, and said to He Sizhi and the others, "The table is set, let's go and have dinner."

The three masters and apprentices responded. He Sizhi stepped forward and took Liangliang's hand. Seeing Liangliang staring at the baby in front of him, he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his little head, thinking that it might be a good decision to bring his son along.

In front of the wooden shed, two torches were inserted into the grooves of the columns, illuminating the dining table below.

There were two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup on the table. The dishes were tempting, all served in large bowls and very filling.

The aroma of food wafts through, making people hungry.

Seeing the large pieces of meat in the dish, the master and his two disciples were slightly stunned.

I didn't work today, so why eat so well?

The three people suspected that this was the meal for the host to eat himself, and for a moment they did not dare to sit down.

Ma Jieyong was a straightforward man. He turned around and asked Shitou where their food was.

Shitou was puzzled by his question and asked back: "Aren't they all here? Where do you want to eat?"

Ma Jieyong blurted out, "Can we eat this meat too?"
