1094: Chapter 1094: Still Alive (8) 1094: Chapter 1094: Still Alive (8) âNot only will you work, but you will also study and practice martial arts,â Yang Ruxin smiled, âWhenever youâre free, come over every morning and join everyone in exercising and learning to readâŠ
What you learn becomes your own skill, and in the future, even if you donât work for me, itâll be easier to find a job elsewhereâŠâ
The Li family felt like they were living a dream that day.
They not only had their fill of food but also took home plenty of fabrics and cotton when they left.
Yang Ruxin had instructed Mrs.
Duan to make thin coats for everyone to wear in the spring.
In addition, they received several pounds of meat and a large bag of Sanhe flourâthey wouldnât need to come over for dinner anymore but could cook at home instead.
âOh, mom, pinch me,â exclaimed Lidatou as they left the Red Building quite a distance behind, tugging at Mrs.
Duanâs arm, âto see if Iâm dreamingâŠâ
Mrs.
Duan really did pinch Lidatou.
âOuch, that hurts, mom, youâre quite harshâŠ
Haha, itâs real, not a dreamâŠâ
The kids were also truly happy, feeling good to have their stomachs full.
âDad, mom, brothers, thereâs something I must remind you,â Li Dong, as the eldest, matured early, and having seen the coldness and warmth of human relationships over the years, had thought things through more comprehensively and was considered the pillar of the family, âMiss Yang of the east house is very capable, otherwise, she wouldnât have achieved what she has now.
Many people yearn for a position with such a household; itâs only because the village chief pitied our family that he recommended us, so we must abide by our duties, work hard, or elseâŠâ
âBig brother, donât worry, weâre not fools,â Li Nan patted his belly, âWe used to work before but could never eat our fill.
Now that we can, and even have new clothes, only a fool would not work hardâŠâ
âExactly, donât worry, big brotherâŠâ The rest of them nodded along.
As they were talking, they saw a bullock cart approaching on the main road, which stopped near them.
An old man with a beaming smile looked at them and asked, âExcuse me, is this Dapu East Village?â
Lidatou nodded, âThis is the entrance to the village.â
The people on the cart immediately showed cheerful smiles.
âThen, may I ask, is there a young lady named Yang Ruxin here?â
âWhat do you want with Miss Yang of the east house?â The Li family exchanged looks, then showed a wary expression.
âGreat, could you please let the big brother know weâve arrived?
Just say weâre from Majia Hollow, the Dan familyâŠâ
The Li siblings glanced at each other, and Li Tian reacted the quickest, running toward the Red Building; he quickly returned, followed by Du Yunpeng, who had come specifically to pick them up.
As Dan Jiabao was carried over on a stretcher, the Li brothers actively went over to help without being asked, following Yang Ruxinâs instructions to take him straight to the back to be taken care of by Dao Xuzi.
Watching Xun Juan walking in, Dong Wenxiu couldnât help but become lost in a daze, her tears falling, âJuanziâŠâ
Xun Juan had visited her motherâs home last time and nearly lost her son, but luckily, she encountered the Divine Doctor.
At the same time, she also heard that her sister Xun Hui was still alive and had been longing to see her ever since.
Now, seeing her in person, she hesitated to approach, âLittle Hui, is it really you?â
Dong Wenxiu nodded, âItâs me.â Then she went over and embraced Xun Juan.
The two hugged and wept together.
After a good cry, Dong Wenxiu finally let go of Xun Juan, then turned, embarrassedly, toward Yang Ruxin, âXinxin, when I was young, I was lucky to have your Aunt Juanzi.
She often sneaked me a piece of sweet potato cake or such; if not for that, I might not have made it to be soldâŠâ
