Chapter 1686 - 306_5

Zhao Yi: "Dreams are always necessary. I used to be annoyed with Old Tian for finding me a stepmother, but if it's a real stepmother, I wouldn't mind."

Li Zhiyuan looked at the little notebook clutched in Zhao Yi's hand.

Zhao Yi solemnly placed the notebook into his chest pocket and patted it with his hand.

"Li, I have to say, this time you are truly generous, not holding anything back. I know this is your treasure trove, and I'll definitely cherish it."

"What do you think learning this will bring you?"

"Naturally, to make my future endeavors on the river more..."

Halfway through his sentence, Zhao Yi stopped, sweat appearing on his forehead.

Li Zhiyuan: "If you try to play tricks with it, it will certainly play tricks back on you."

Zhao Yi first let out a sigh, then wiped his forehead, dramatically shook his hand,

and said with a smile:

"Upon reflection, it's actually not as scary as I imagined. Perhaps it's because I've gotten used to being fooled by you in the past?"

"But, you and I, we are still somewhat different."

Zhao Yi pointed to his head: "Ha, you saw it too. It once wanted me dead."

Li Zhiyuan: "It never wanted me to live later."

...

Returning to Big Beard's house, Zhao Yi saw a person hanging on the wall, their hair standing straight up.

It's been quite a while, the matters on my side are already finished, but Lin Shuyou hasn't yet fixed the circuit.

Zhao Yi didn't disturb him, standing by the side thinking.

After a while, the lights inside the house came on.

"Thump!"

Lin Shuyou landed on the ground, dusting his hands, then reached out to press his hair down.

Zhao Yi applauded, praising: "Amazing, amazing, truly worthy of a college student."

Lin Shuyou frowned: "Three-eyed, why speak like an old lady."

"Which old lady?"

"Cui Cui's granny."

"In the future, you might realize your comment is quite accurate."

"What do you mean?"

"It's a compliment that you have keen insight and see the essence."

"That's ridiculous, I'm going home."

"Wait a minute, the electrician deserves a reward, here!"

Zhao Yi pulled out a box of cigarettes, tossed it to Lin Shuyou, and turned to enter the house.

Lin Shuyou happily caught it, opened the cigarette box, and found it empty.

For a moment, Lin Shuyou felt the urge to climb the wall and cut the circuit again.

But in the end, Ah You went home angrily.

He intended to read a bit, but as soon as he entered the living room, he heard Brother Bin and Run Sheng snoring intermittently.

Listening to it, Lin Shuyou also tossed aside the book and flashlight and joined this symphony.

But this three-person ensemble didn't last long as Run Sheng sat up from the coffin.

He went to the yard, and pedaled away on the tricycle.

This time, Run Sheng didn't ride straight out of the village, but stopped outside Big Beard's house, ringing the bell.

Soon, Zhao Yi emerged while getting dressed, carrying a bottle of medicinal liquor.

Sitting on Run Sheng's tricycle, Zhao Yi waved his hand:

"Let's go, have a midnight snack!"

The night breeze swept across the river, curling towards the shore.

A big white mouse was pushing a pot while swimming hard in the river.

Its long tail swung continuously to boost its power, while its mouth muttered nonstop:

"Here we go again, every day, not even a day off for this mouse!"

As it approached the riverbank, the big white mouse saw two figures sitting there waiting for the meal.

"You come, but you actually brought a guest!"

...

The next morning, Li Zhiyuan woke up promptly, but turning his head, he didn't see the first ray of morning sunlight.

After washing up, the young man saw the light on in the East Room, and went downstairs to the door of the East Room.

Knock, knock.

"Xiao Yuan, come in."

Li Zhiyuan entered the room and saw Liu Yumei combing Alii's hair.

"Granny got up late."

"Granny, let me do it."

"Do you know how to comb?"

"Granny, you forget, you taught me once."

"Oh, that's right, here you go."

Li Zhiyuan took the comb, standing behind Alii, and in the mirror, Alii's face showed two dimples.

Liu Yumei sat on the chair behind him, poured herself a cup of leftover cold tea, took a sip, and sighed:

"People's minds are surely different. Alii's grandfather used to make a mess of my hair when he combed it."

Li Zhiyuan: "Grandpa must have been excited."

"No need to make excuses for him. He was really talented in martial arts, but everything else, he was like a blockhead."

While speaking, Liu Yumei picked up Alii's grandfather's memorial tablet from the altar, placed it on the coffee table, and said with a smile:

"Alii, today we'll deal with this old thing."

Li Zhiyuan looked at the mirror and could see Liu Yumei with the memorial tablet sitting behind him, like two elderly sitting together, watching him comb Alii's hair together.

After combing Alii's hair, she pulled Li Zhiyuan's hand over to choose the clothes.

Liu Yumei was about to speak.

Li Zhiyuan chose a green set.

Liu Yumei laughed, deliberately glanced at the tablet beside her, as if to say: Didn't choose the red one, right?

Alii took the clothes and went to the inner room to change.

Li Zhiyuan tidied the dressing table and said:

"Granny, lately the wind is strong, perhaps you shouldn't play cards; it's not good for your health."

"Granny knows, yesterday the wind made me have a headache at night, that's why I got up late."

"You're getting older, you need to take care of yourself. It's not like you're young anymore."

"You rascal, daring to directly call Granny old?"

"I know you're still young, but we're younger, so you can comfortably grow old."

"Granny trusts you, you have a good head on your shoulders."

"Thank you, Granny."

Once Alii had finished dressing, Li Zhiyuan took her hand and led her out of the East Room.
