The space is full of supplies, and the little milk bag can't be used up.

Li Youran looked at Li Mingchen's face carefully and thought to himself: Well, he is indeed a good seedling worth cultivating.

Li Youran sat steadily on the bench, supporting his cheek with his chubby little hands, and asked curiously, "Cousin, how are you doing in arithmetic?"

Li Mingchen couldn't help feeling shy when being stared at by Li Youran. He scratched his head and answered modestly: "I'm not that great, and sometimes I can be quite confused. I tried to be an accountant's apprentice before, but my master thought I was too stupid and sent me home." After saying that, he lowered his head slightly, revealing a hint of loss.

"Cousin, you may have made a misunderstanding. Perhaps you are not suitable for things like accounting. Have you ever thought about developing into painting?" Li Youran had sharp eyes. She noticed that Li Mingchen did not seem to be good at arithmetic, but judging from his face, he must have his strengths.

"Never thought about it..." Li Mingchen fell into deep thought. He indeed had never thought about painting. Why would his sister Youran make such an assertion?

"Cousin, why not give it a try!" Li Youran reminded kindly and turned his gaze to Li Mingchen's hands.

Unlike the rough hands of rural people who work all year round, these big hands are extraordinarily delicate. Presumably, these hands must have been well maintained because of learning to use an abacus.

Although Li Mingchen was confused, he nodded ignorantly.

Li Kunren and Li Heming entered the house. They had a good relationship and could talk to each other easily.

"Sister Youran, I'm sorry. I didn't wash my hands while playing just now, so..." Li Kunren came to Li Youran shyly and apologized slowly.

Li Youran turned his head away and didn't listen!

"I'm sorry, please forgive my second cousin!" Li Kunren seldom apologized to others. He only apologized to others last time when he beat someone up, and it was because his parents forced him to do so.

Li Youran glanced at him and saw that he seemed very sincere, so she nodded reluctantly. Her second cousin didn't do it on purpose, he probably forgot to wash his hands.

Li Youran's gaze fell on his third brother again, who had just laughed at himself.

Li Heming suddenly responded, "Sister, I apologize to you too. I couldn't help it..."

"Okay, I'll forgive you for now." Li Youran waved his hand generously, mainly because dinner was about to be served.

At this time, Father Li led a group of people into the yard, talking and laughing.

After entering the house, "He Ming, take your sister to the inner room, and Mingchen and Kunren to the inner room as well." Father Li shouted and pointed to the sleeping area in the inner room.

There were too many people and it was too crowded, so we had to let the children eat in the inner room.

Father Li arranged for the workers to sit down, and he went to eat and served the dishes to the table.

Li Youran saw so many people working and counted them, there were seven of them.

Everyone was sweating profusely, and it was obvious that they had just finished work.

Li Youran went to the kitchen and saw Ye was serving dishes. She took out green plum wine from the space and said, "Mother, give this to the workers. This is green plum wine, which has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting body fluid and soothing the stomach, and stopping diarrhea and vomiting."

"Ran'er is thoughtful." Ye touched Li Youran's head.

"By the way, don't drink too much! Otherwise you will get stomach upset." Li Youran walked out of the kitchen with small steps, and did not forget to turn back to kindly remind her.

Ye responded gently: "I know."

After Li Zhuang sat down, he saw Li Youran slowly walking out of the kitchen. He was very happy: "Come, let Uncle Zhuang hug you."

"Uncle Zhuang stinks. I don't want to be hugged by you." Li Youran wrinkled his nose, looking disgusted.

Li Zhuang was not angry, but laughed even more happily. He smelled his sleeves and found that they indeed gave off a strong smell of sweat, so he stopped forcing it.

At this time, Father Li brought the prepared dishes and placed them on the table one by one.

Li Niu, who was sitting next to Li Zhuang, looked at the clever and cute little girl in front of him and asked curiously, "Is this Uncle Hong's little daughter? She is so smart and lovely."

"Yes, hello Uncle Niu!" Li Youran nodded obediently, then gave a sweet smile to Li Niu.

Li Niu felt so soft in his heart, how could there be such a cute girl.

"Hello! You Ran."

Li Niu greeted him awkwardly.

The other men looked at Li Youran's cute appearance and thought of their own children, especially those who had daughters.

Seeing that there was nothing for Li Youran to do, he went to the inner room.

There is a small table in the inner room, on which are placed various miscellaneous things.

Li Heming cleaned the table and several people sat by the bed, waiting for dinner.

Li Youran brought out a small stool from somewhere and sat down on it.

There was laughter, talking, and clinking of glasses in the outer room...

Li Youran held her face in her hands, feeling very depressed. She wondered when it would be her turn to eat.

After everyone finished eating, Ye and Zhang were cleaning up the dishes. Li Youran heard the noise and ran out.

"Is it time to eat?" Li Youran blinked and looked around.

Ye looked at the little boy and said, "It's time to eat. Call the brothers to come out and eat!"

Li Youran hurried into the house to call her cousin and third brother.

After everyone sat down at the table, Li Youran almost forgot that his eldest brother had returned, so he ran to his eldest, second, and third brothers' rooms.

"Brother, it's time to eat!" Li Youran gently pushed open the slightly old wooden door, then walked lightly to Li Yuanbo's side and spoke to him in a low voice.

At this time, Li Yuanbo was copying books attentively. After hearing Li Youran's call, he slowly raised his head and his eyes happened to meet Li Youran's.

At that moment, his eyes revealed endless tenderness, like the warmest sunshine in spring.

"Okay, Ran'er, I'll clean up here and we'll go eat together." Li Yuanbo responded softly, and then began to tidy up the piles of books and hemp paper on the table.

Li Youran watched the scene in front of him silently, and a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.

Although the family's financial situation has improved now, my eldest brother still insists on copying books every day to earn a meager salary.

She knew that her eldest brother wanted to give his family a better life through his own efforts.

"Brother, you really don't have to work so hard." Li Youran couldn't help but speak, with a gleam of heartache in his eyes, "Life at home is much better now than before."

Li Yuanbo smiled and shook his head, without stopping his hands: "It doesn't matter, I can earn more money and buy some beautiful skirts for my sister." His tone was relaxed and firm, and he didn't seem to feel how difficult such a life was.

As he spoke, Li Yuanbo had already tidied up the table. He stood up, and his handsome face looked even more charming under the light. His facial features were distinct, with a unique exotic charm.

Li Youran stared at his elder brother quietly, and was actually a little dazed for a moment.

She secretly marveled at how her elder brother was getting more and more handsome, especially his eyes. The black mole at the end of his eye added a bit of mysterious charm to him.

Moreover, the mole was in the same position as the one at the corner of his own eye, but his brother's mole seemed to reveal an indescribable gentleness.

Unconsciously, Li Youran was completely immersed in admiring his elder brother's appearance, and even forgot the passage of time...

"You're stunned, Ran'er." Li Yuanbo waved in front of Li Youran.

Li Youran came back to his senses from a trance, "Brother is getting more and more handsome."
