are of this."From now on, Li Ge'er will study with Jia Ren in Lu'an in the afternoon. That’s settled.Everyone was busy preparing food and drink, wishing they could load the whole yard onto carts and s...But before personal preference, it is his responsibility as a son, as a father, and as a brother!

The path of advancement, looking glamorous, is actually littered with the bones of those who failed.

He wasn't sure if he could walk safely, or for a long time.

But he was willing to give it a try...

"I've exchanged quite a few herbs and herb seeds these days. I came back in such a rush today that Second Uncle didn't have the cart ready. I'll have Zheng Feng deliver them back to you tomorrow."

Li Laer changed the subject and instructed his niece, “Be sure to learn well from Dr. Zhang. You can put everything else aside, but you must master the arts of identifying and administering poisons.”

"From now on, if anyone bullies you, give them a lesson for minor offenses, and poison them for major ones. Don't be afraid, if anything happens, your second uncle will take care of it! "

"Still the same thing, you have three uncles, one father, and seven brothers. If you weren't arrogant and bullying, everyone else should be grateful! There's no reason for you to suffer grievances and be bullied by others, understand"

"Got it!" Jia Yin responded loudly, couldn't help but hug her second uncle's neck and giggled.

Thankfully, she wasn't a real child, otherwise, being instilled with these things all day would have probably turned her bad!

But it was evident that Second Uncle also knew she was intelligent and kind, and it was impossible for her to casually take human life.

Even though he shouldn't say it, Uncle Two still wanted to say it, just to give her some courage!

It's better to bully others than to be bullied, because if she is bullied, her family will feel sorry for her!

She's totally smitten with being favored and protected!

"Uncle Second, if being an official isn't fun anymore, just come home. Fu Niuer will protect you! Fu Niuer will be filial and take care of you when she grows up!" Jia Yin leaned over and kissed Uncle Second's hair lightly.

Li Lao'er quickly chided, "Second Uncle ran around outside all day, his head is dirty, don't move around."

"I don't think Second Uncle is dirty, Second Uncle is the best!"

Jia Yin smiled obsequiously, flattering Li Lao Er who laughed even wider, his heart filled with warmth and delight...

Li Laotai found the materials in the house and stood under the eaves, looking out. Seeing her son and granddaughter return from outside, she couldn't help but chuckle and ask: "You two must have picked up silver outside, laughing until your mouths reach your ears"

"Haha, Auntie guessed right!" Li Laoer put his little niece on the steps and went to wash his hair and take a bath.

Tao Hongying saw her daughter and second brother getting along well, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, missing her husband, so she said to her mother-in-law: "The fourth one and the Marquis don't know when they will be back Now it's almost the Zhongyuan Festival, and they have been gone for several months..."

Lao Li also remembered and unconsciously looked towards the gate of the courtyard, replying: "Who said it wasn't It stands to reason that he should be back..."

Jia Yin didn't want her grandmother and mother to be in a bad mood, so she quickly changed the subject. "My birthday is coming up soon, but my stepfather and father are still not back. I haven't received any good gifts!"

"This little girl, she spends money like there's no tomorrow!" Old Mrs. Li scolded, tapping her granddaughter. "All she ever thinks about is her own birthday!"

Tao Hongying also joked, "It's still a long time away, but she remembers it clearly."

"Mother, will you bake me a cream cake tomorrow I want to eat a cream cake for my birthday. Fu Niu'er loves Mother the most, Mother is the best!"

Jia Yin hugged her mother and acted coquettishly, wriggling like a worm in her mother's arms, making Tao Hongying laugh and cry. She patted her daughter twice but couldn't bear to push her out.

Their daughter is so shy, she barely says a word to her own mother. But my girl She's different! She's constantly clinging to me, and all she ever talks about is love and affection. It's both embarrassing and heartwarming...

“Okay, okay, I’ll get the oven fired up tomorrow and bake you that cake! You’ll be sure to have it for your birthday!” Tao Hongying bit her daughter’s chubby cheek playfully and agreed.

Jia Yin got her wish and took her grandmother and mother back to the backyard.

Li Laotai and Tao Hongying were cutting fabric in the dim light of an oil lamp, while Jia Yin played with three bedridden children.

When night fell, the three of them went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Laoer went into the city early.

He was going to the Ministry of Household Affairs to report for duty, to receive his official robes and other items. Of course, he also wanted the officials at the Ministry to see him, and to familiarize himself with his future colleagues.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

A new magistrate was suddenly added to the yamen. It wasn't a major event, but it wasn't minor either.

Moreover, this Master of the Fifth Rank also holds a title of Earl, from the renowned Li family of Suijin Tan. This is quite noteworthy.

Fortunately, Li Lao Er later managed the relief office, a place that no one wanted to look at twice.

So, everyone could only secretly rejoice, but no one wanted to fight for it.

Moreover, these days the Hundred Flower Garden in Xin Du is quite famous.

Everyone greeted Li Lao'er and inquired about the Hundred Flowers Garden. Li Lao'er took this opportunity to invite them to have tea and admire the flowers at the Hundred Flowers Garden on their day off the next day.

Such a good thing, of course everyone agreed, so Li Lao Er gained some face.

In the afternoon, Li Lao'er reported to Shangguan and went to the relief agency.

All beginnings are hard!

The Bureau of Social Affairs has provided over 700 elderly, infirm and disabled individuals with two meals of congee daily. They are now able to eat their fill and have also begun receiving medical treatment. However, this is far from enough.

At this point, if it rains heavily, two days' worth of effort will be wasted.

Because every house experiences a different intensity of rain. The outside might be pouring, while inside it's just a drizzle.

Inside the house, there was no kang (traditional brick bed), just piles of rotten straw where everyone rested for the night...

Li Lao Er sighed, rolled up his sleeves and began to struggle...

Without talking about how Li La Er started over, let's just say Jia Yin, after breakfast, went to find Zhang Shenyi to learn medicine. She was made to dry herbs and grind them into powder.

After working all morning, her little arms and legs ached with exhaustion. She finally carried a thick medical textbook home.

As soon as she entered, she saw Auntie Wenjuan sitting under the eaves. She happily ran forward and asked, "Second Sister-in-law, why are you back Where's Second Brother And Third Aunt"

Wenjuan helped her younger sister-in-law put down the medical book in her hand and smiled, "Your third aunt is at the academy canteen. Your second brother sent me here and hurried back to the tavern. There's only me as a free person at home, and I'm craving what your fourth aunt makes, so I'll stay here for a few days."

Jia Yin noticed a hint of sorrow in her second sister-in-law's smile. She guessed that things were not as simple as they seemed, but she didn't press for details.

At lunchtime, all the braised dishes cooked at home were brought to the backyard. Tao Hongying had extra porridge boiled, two refreshing side dishes made, and a pot of scallion oil flower rolls steamed.

Wénjuān had a big appetite. After eating and drinking her fill, she was sleepy and yawned repeatedly. After being shooed to the backyard by Lǎotài Lǐ, she took a nap.

Jia Yin approached her grandmother and whispered, "Grandma, why did Second Sister-in-Law come back Did she have an argument with my second brother"

"No," Old Li said, seeing her granddaughter's hair was messy. She took off the silver comb from her own head and combed her granddaughter's hair into pigtails, whispering, "Your second brother is an honest man, and he gets along well with your sister-in-law. How could they argue It must be something going on with your sister-in-law's family!"

"Second sister-in-law's family, what's the matter" Jiayin was curious. "Didn't Mr. Peng just marry a new wife and have her add fragrance to his sleeves every day What else could be going on"and his brother's talent and hard work absolutely make up for the other seven!That evening, the whole family had a good meal together to celebrate.After waiting for the second day, Li Laosan sent his...
