The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Seeing that the beating was almost over, Lin Xi quickly pulled her master down to sit.

They were afraid that the elderly would get too tired.

Her frank words today were also intended to get her master to stand up for her.

It's all because this man is ungrateful; he took her benefits and then started to doubt her.

Li Kefan admitted his mistake and corrected it.

"Master, I was wrong, junior sister. Consider this a favor I owe you. Please feel free to ask for anything in the future."

Fu Wenyuan rolled his eyes.

"Tch, who cares? Don't pay any attention to him, Xiao Xi. Apart from you, none of my disciples are any decent."

"It's alright, Master. I understand what my senior brother is thinking. We'll talk it out."

Lin Xi massaged the old man's hands while looking at Li Kefan.

"Senior brother, I'll remember this favor."

After saying that, he patted the old man's back, brought him water, and said all sorts of nice things to make the old man happy.

Fu Wenyuan was finally happy.

Li Kefan could tell that the girl was doing it on purpose.

He is genuinely honest, and genuinely cunning.

This time, he really messed up, getting beaten up by his master for no reason.

After the farce, Lin Guiying had already prepared the meal.

As they sat down, Fu Wenyuan pushed Li Kefan aside.

He gets angry just looking at him, so I keep my distance to avoid ruining my appetite.

Then he pulled Liu Yu over.

Liu Yu was so startled that he staggered, thinking the old man was going to hit him.

When they started eating, Fu Wenyuan completely lost his temper. The food was really authentic!

The goose stewed in a big iron pot in the countryside is still the most fragrant.

Li Kefan initially didn't think much of it, but after tasting it, he was almost overwhelmed by its aroma.

No wonder my sister ate three bowls in one sitting.

He forced himself to maintain proper table manners and try to chew his food slowly and carefully.

Finally, unable to resist, he sped up and wolfed down his food.

But to others, her posture remained elegant.

Unlike Fu Wenyuan, who threw down his chopsticks and started gnawing on the bone with both hands.

He was munching on his food while licking his fingers, his beard covered in oil.

Lin Guiying became happier and happier as she looked at the food, and kept adding bowl after bowl of rice to her plate.

Before he knew it, Li Kefan had eaten three bowls of rice.

Forget it, I won't scold my sister when I get back.

The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.

Lin Guiying, in particular, couldn't stop smiling.

The first time I entertained such distinguished guests, the dishes were so full that the bottom of the bowls was almost empty.

Especially the stewed goose, not a single scrap of meat was left, which is a great compliment to her.

The God of Wealth's brother is so rich, he's eaten all kinds of delicious food, yet he still ate three bowls of rice.

Speaking of which, I really miss Xin Xin.

Give her two jars of pickled vegetables to take back; she can't take anything else.

Lin Guiying went out to find pickled vegetables, and Lin Xi brought up the matter of becoming an apprentice again.

Li Kefan then realized what was happening and asked incredulously, "You haven't become an apprentice yet?"

Lin Xi smiled sheepishly.

"Hehe, it's a long story, Master. We'll go tomorrow."

Fu Wenyuan was terrified of his little apprentice. "No, let's do it today. You can serve me a cup of tea later and that will be considered your apprenticeship."

"No, that's not right. Master, don't worry, I promise I'll go tomorrow."

Li Kefan, listening from the side, shook his head repeatedly, thinking, "Has the sun risen in the west?"

Each of the three fellow disciples had to go through numerous trials and tribulations before becoming a disciple.

I almost knelt in front of the old man's door for so long before he finally accepted me.

Is offering a cup of tea enough?

It seems even the tea master thinks it's unnecessary.

He rarely showed jealousy, saying, "Master, listen to your junior sister. I've been praying for seven days."

The second senior brother fared even worse, having to worship for a month.

Fu Wenyuan rolled his eyes. "Can you compare to her? What were you doing at nine years old? You haven't even learned all the characters yet!"

Lin Xi pulled out her last trump card, "Master, etiquette cannot be disregarded, it's settled then, you go home and wait for me! Otherwise I won't..."

Fu Wenyuan was afraid she would say she wouldn't be his apprentice, so he quickly interrupted her, saying, "Alright, alright, come early tomorrow!"

Li Kefan's icy face changed color, turning pale and then flushed.

How dare she threaten her master?

Good heavens! My master actually listened to that?

How can there be such a huge difference between people!

Is this the old man who curses and hits people all the time?

……

He's already used up a year's worth of emojis in just one day; he needs to go back and get some rest.

Before leaving, Lin Guiying gave Li Kefan two jars of pickled vegetables to take back for Xinxin to eat.

Fu Wenyuan saw that everyone was making a fuss about why he wasn't included.

Lin Guiying happily went to fetch two more jars.

After the two left, Lin Xifei quickly ran to the market and bought the traditional six gifts.

For example, celery symbolizes diligence and a love of learning, lotus seeds have a bitter heart, representing painstaking education, and there are also longan, red dates, and dried scallops, etc.

I inquired about my senior's preferences from him and specially bought a jar of fine wine for my master.

It's not a big brand.

It's the sorghum liquor brewed by Old Man Qu in the village. It's fragrant and mellow, and most families can't really make it like that.

I bought a beautifully designed piece of calligraphy paper to write my apprenticeship letter.

There's also a very special gift; I'll secretly give it to my master tomorrow.

In the evening, Lin Dayuan and his group packed up their stall.

Lin Guiying told everyone about her apprenticeship.

The two finally realized what they had forgotten.

The whole family plans to take a day off tomorrow to accompany Lin Xi to her apprenticeship.

Lin Dayuan was worried about his regular customers, so he asked Liu Yu to make a trip to the market.

Post a sign on your stall announcing that you're closed for the day and explaining why, so they don't have to wait.

When Li Kefan got home, he went into his bedroom and secretly made a phone call.

Tell your two senior brothers that Master will be taking on a new apprentice tomorrow.

The eldest brother calmly said he would be there tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the second senior brother was roaring wildly, complaining that his master had taken on another disciple behind his back.

Li Kefan gave a playful smile; he was really looking forward to it.

I wonder who will have the upper hand if the junior sister and Gu Zheng meet.

Early the next morning.

The old man got ready early and sat in the living room waiting for his young apprentice to arrive.

With a ding-dong sound, Fu Wenyuan immediately put on a kind smile.

I didn't expect the child to arrive so early.

Upon opening the door, he found two more good-for-nothing apprentices.

With a look of disdain, he said, "What are you two doing here?"

Wang Yi bowed respectfully.

"Master, I've come to see my junior sister."

Gu Zheng put his arm around the old man's shoulder and said angrily, "Master, you don't love me anymore. You promised you wouldn't take on any more disciples."

You've broken your promise again. When you took me in as your disciple, you said I would be your last.

As a result, you took in three junior brothers, and now you have a fourth junior sister.

Master, how could you go back on your word...?

Fu Wenyuan picked at his ear, looking at Li Kefan with annoyance, "Did you call them here?"

"Hehe, Master, on such an important day, both of my senior brothers must be present!"

"Nonsense, I know what you're thinking. Xiao Xi made you look bad yesterday, you just want to see your second senior brother and junior sister have a good show, don't you!"

Li Kefan showed no remorse even after being exposed, and even smiled and said, "That's exactly right."

"That's really something!"

Gu Zheng clung to Fu Wenyuan's side regardless of everything.

He kept complaining that his master was untrustworthy and hadn't returned his calls for so long, but it turns out he'd taken on another apprentice...

Of the three apprentices, Fu Wenyuan found Gu Zheng the most annoying because he was too talkative.

My favorite is Gu Zheng, because he's not like the other two who are like ice blocks.

But my favorite now is my little apprentice. He's excellent, likable, and has a sweet tongue but isn't fussy.

Just as Fu Wenyuan's patience was running out, there was another knock on the door.

Gu Zheng rushed to open the door and immediately saw the little girl who was less than half his height.

Ha, she's quite cute. Maybe her master is getting old and lonely and wants to play with the child.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Little brat."

Lin Xi just felt that this person was inexplicable.

He glared at her menacingly, not only refusing to let her in but also calling her a little brat.

Are you sick in the head? What did you do to him?

Fu Wenyuan rushed over and slapped Gu Zheng away.

"Hey hey, Xiao Xi's here! Come in, come in!"

"Aunt Lin, these two must be Xiaoxi's father and grandfather, hello."

The old man smiled broadly.

Gu Zheng, watching from the side, became even angrier. When did his master become so enthusiastic?

Every time I see him, he looks impatient, and my jealousy burns fiercely!
