Yangyang and Seven Pounds lay in front of the cradle and watched as the baby grabbed his feet and stuffed them into his mouth reluctantly.

Yangyang looked at him in surprise. “Brother Seven Pounds, what’s his name? Why is he chewing his feet?”

“His name is Er Chun. I named him. It’s a natural meaning of being born in February in spring. He likes to gnaw on feet.” Seven Pounds pulled Er Chun’s feet down as he spoke.

Er Chun immediately grabbed another foot and stuffed it into his mouth. Yangyang hurriedly pulled his foot out of his mouth. Er Chun looked at the two of them aggrievedly and pursed his lips to cry. Seven Pounds hurriedly placed the peppercorn stick on his wrist in his hand. “Eat! Eat! Gluttonous cat.”

Yangyang watched Er Chun for a while and gradually felt that this little brother didn’t seem to be very fun. “Brother Seven Pounds, let’s go see if Little Loach and the others are done eating. Let’s go to the garden to compete and see if you’ve practiced these days.”

“Young Master, I have something to tell you.” Seven Pounds pulled Yangyang to the side and looked at him seriously. “Young Master, I’ve decided to learn medicine from Old Master.”

Yangyang frowned. “Brother Seven Pounds, aren’t you going to school with me anymore?”

A heavy expression that did not match his age appeared on Seven Pounds’ face. “Young Master, my mother was in pain for a long time when she gave birth. Father was so anxious that he cried. I thought that if only Old Master was here, he would give Mother an injection and concoct medicine for Mother to eat. Mother wouldn’t have to suffer so much pain. I just wanted to learn medicine from Old Master when I arrived in the capital.”

Yangyang looked at Seven Pounds worriedly. “Brother Seven Pounds, will it hurt when my mother gives birth to younger siblings?”

Seven Pounds nodded honestly. “It’s going to hurt.”

Yangyang frowned and thought for a moment. “Brother Seven Pounds, I have to ask Grandmaster to make a painkilling medicine. I’ll put it aside for Mother to eat when she gives birth to younger siblings. That way, it won’t hurt.”

Seven Pounds thought about it and felt that Old Master should be able to make it. He nodded. “Alright, look for Old Master to make pills later. I’ll look for Old Master to learn medicine.”

Xiaoyu looked at the two children sitting at the side with serious expressions and said to Li Yu with a smile, “Madam, look at Young Master and Seven Pounds. Do they look like they’re discussing something big?”

Li Yu turned around and looked. “They look very serious! Let’s go take a look.”

The two of them got off the table and walked to the cradle. Li Yu looked at the two of them and asked gently, “Yang’er, Seven Pounds, are you two discussing something big? Can you tell me?”

Yangyang glanced at Li Yu and turned to look at Xiaoyu. “Auntie Yu, does it hurt a lot to give birth?”

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. She smiled and comforted him. “Young Master is worried that Madam will have a younger brother in pain! I’s a little painful. She’ll be fine in a while.”

Seven Pounds looked at Xiaoyu with disapproval. “Mother, you’re lyting. It clearly hurts a lot. It will hurt for a long time. Seven Pounds woke up and heard you crying. You even called out for Grandmother and Grandfather.” His eyes turned red. “Mother, I’m afraid.”

Xiaoyu didn’t expect Seven Pounds to still remember it. Seeing her son’s heartache, she went forward to hug him and patted his back to comfort him.

“Don’t be afraid. Look, isn’t Mother fine! Mother really doesn’t hurt.”

Yangyang also looked up at Li Yu. “Mother, let’s ask Grandmaster to make painkilling pills. I’ll give you younger siblings.”

Li Yu looked at him and smiled gently. “Alright, let’s ask Grandmaster to make a painkilling pill.”

“Brother Seven Pounds even said that he doesn’t want to go to school anymore and wants to learn medicine from his grandmaster,” Yangyang said to Seven Pounds.

“Yes, I want to learn medicine from Old Master.” Seven Pounds looked at Xiaoyu. “Mother, I’ve already thought about it.”

Li Yu looked at Seven Pounds’ determined gaze. She didn’t expect him to have his own thoughts and what he wanted to do at such a young age.

Xiaoyu didn’t react for a moment. A moment later, she rubbed Seven Pounds of soft hair and her eyes were filled with love. “It’s fine if you want to learn medicine. You have to get your father’s permission first and ask Old Master for his permission. Everyone is busy these two days. Let’s talk about it in the next few days, okay?”

Seven Pounds nodded with sparkling eyes. “I understand.”

Li Yu felt that Xiaoyu’s personality was very similar to that of her father, Butcher He. She didn’t preach much to her children. It was rare to see such parents here.

After dinner, Auntie He smiled and said to Li Yu and Zhou Jia, “Master, Madam, our village is the best village in Tongzhou now. The young men in the village don’t have to worry about their wives. The girls from the other villages are all fighting to marry into the families of our village. Er Ya and She Chun are betrothed. Cuicui from Jinjiu’s family is also betrothed to She Dong. They want one of the children to bear the surname Jin. The She family has also agreed.”

“Also, Old Master Hu from Hu Village has left. Their village has to send you new rice and noodles every year. The women in the village and those who work in our village also asked me to bring you a bag of wild rice this time. The village chief’s wife also made two sets of clothes for you. Also, An’s mother has left…”

Li Yu sighed when she heard that. She didn’t expect the woman who was devoted to her son and Old Hu, who was devoted to his clansmen, to have left.

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, “Everyone has to make this trip, but as long as they have a clear conscience.”

“Yes.” Mr. Wen smiled and nodded. “As long as they have a clear conscience.”

Uncle Zhou looked at Li Yu and said, “Madam, Aunt said that now that Young Master Ah Qing has an official title and is about to start a family, she has nothing to worry about.”

“She’s just a little worried about her Brother Pig’s studies. She feels that the teachers in the village are still a little lacking. The couple can’t bear to let their child leave their side. I think she wants to ask you to help find a good teacher, but she’s afraid that you’ll have to owe someone a favor.”

Zhou Jia thought for a moment. “Actually, Mr. Lin is not bad, but he doesn’t have a private school anymore. I’ll get someone to ask around and find a teacher for Brother Pig. Then, I’ll bring the letter to Aunt. I also have to let Brother Pig take a look at my notes and Ah Qing’s. He should take the county-level examination first and talk about the rest in the future.” Li Yu nodded. “Alright, we’ll talk about it when you’ve found a teacher.”

The sky gradually darkened, and the wind blew past. It was already slightly cold. Zhou Jia smiled and said to Uncle Zhou and Auntie He, “You’ve been traveling for a few months. Rest early tonight. After Ah Qing gets married, everyone can gather and chat.”

Li Yu looked at Yangyang, who was dozing in Zhou Jia’s arms, and Seven

Pounds, who was dozing in Ruyi’s arms. She smiled and said, “That’s right! Let’s gather again after these two days. Ruyi, bring Xiaoyu and the child back to rest first. Zhao Cai will also bring your wife back. Ji Xiang will be on duty in the residence tonight.”

“Yes, Madam.” After Ruyi and the others agreed, they carried the children back.

“Come, let me carry Seven Pounds. Help Xiaoyu carry the child,” Zhao Cai said to Ruyi with a smile and took Seven Pounds.

Zhizi glanced sideways at Zhao Cai and felt that he was ignoring her tonight. She followed Zhao Cai back aggrievedly.

Ruyi and Xiaoyu sensed that the atmosphere between Zhao Cai and Zhizi was a little off. Thinking that they had just met Zhizi, they could not rashly ask the two of them why.

When they arrived at Ruyi’s house, Zhao Cai handed Seven Pounds to Ruyi and said with a smile, “This child is snoring from sleep. Go in quickly. We’ll be there after turning the corner.”

Ruyi glanced at Zhao Cai. “Alright, go back and rest early.” Zhao Cai smiled and said, “Alright, see you tomorrow!”
