Ye Xuan frowned when he heard what she said. No matter whether his sister-in-law gave birth to a boy or a girl, it was still her grandchild. Was there a difference?

He said somewhat impatiently: Grandma, Im going back to my room.

He went back to his room after he finished speaking, not even waiting for her reply. He didnt want to speak too much with her.

Upon seeing this, Grandma Ye had no choice but to give up. She would find another day to meet with the matchmaker to find him a match. She wanted to see if there were any ladies from the neighboring villages who were suitable for marriage.

Ye Xuan went back to his room, closed his door, and went to sit at his table. He took out a small book from a locked drawer, took a brush, dipped it in ink, and started to record down something in the book

On the other side, right after Liu Duo and the other two arrived home, Ye Yang immediately started to process the seedlings as if he couldnt rest.

Ran Er, sit down and rest for a while. Ill go get you some egg soup, Ye Ling smiled and said to him.

Liu Ran nodded. Thank you, Brother Ling.

Ye Ling would give him special attention every time Liu Ran came back. He was already used to it.

Sis, the day after tomorrow is Yuan Fangs birthday. He invited me to his house as a guest. Can I go? Liu Ran asked for Liu Duos opinion.

Upon hearing him, Liu Duo smiled and asked back, Why cant you go? She touched the top of his head and said again, Go ahead. Since it is Yuan Fangs birthday, you need to prepare a gift. You cant go empty-handed!

Of course, she was pleased Liu Ran could have friends around his age. From her memory, Liu Ran didnt have many friends his age and was quite lonely.

Liu Duos impression of the little kid Yuan Fang was that he was very polite and willing to help others.

Okay. Sis, I want to give him the Four Treasures of the Study Brother Liu bought me. Can I?

Ye Liu had gone to town and bought this for Liu Ran on the day Liu Duo brought him to inquire about the school.

However, Liu Ran had just set it aside and was reluctant to use it as he felt it would be a pity.

In response, Liu Duo nodded. Of course you can. Brother Liu gave it to you so it is yours. You have the right to do with it what you like.

Liu Ran smiled very happily when he heard her.

Ye Liu spent a whole two wens of silver to buy the Four Treasures of the Study. This was extremely expensive for most average families.

After Ye Ling gave Liu Ran the egg soup, he asked him to eat it while it was hot so as to avoid it having a weird odor.

After that, he just sat at the side and continued to practice writing. He wrote the numbers one to ten again and again. He was only satisfied after he could write them properly.

Brother Ling, when I am at home in the future, the two of us can accompany each other and practice writing together. You write so well.

Liu Ran didnt even have to ask to know it was definitely his sister who had taught Ye Ling how to write.

Ye Ling heard Liu Ran praising him and he felt a bit embarrassed. I dont write well. I still need a lot of practice.

Liu Ran just smiled at Ye Lings modesty and then talked to him about other stuff. Liu Duo, on the other hand, went to the kitchen.

Aunt Li, hire two honest and capable aunties to come work as temp workers tomorrow. That way, you and Sister Lian can relax a bit. Liu Duo entered the kitchen and spoke to Aunt Li with a smile.

As she spoke, she picked up the garlic at the side and started to peel it. Ye Ling wasnt in here so there was one less person helping. The production speed of the tomato sauces had also slowed considerably.

Aunt Li stir-fried the tomatoes in the wok and laughed. Okay. I already told Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu. I will ask them to come tomorrow.

Aunt Li saw Liu Duo peeling the garlic and immediately joked, Girl, put it down. We dont need you to peel it. If your hands get coarse, Xiao Yang and the others will definitely blame me.

Err

Although she knew Ye Yang and the others didnt like to let her work and she usually only recorded down the transactions, would her hands get coarse just from peeling garlic for a while?

She wasnt so fragile that she couldnt work!
