Mr. and Mrs. Li happily ran toward the oxcart, but Li Shi was not the one on it. Instead, it was Li Dazhuang who visited them.

He looked at the older couple and said, “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Li. I came to deliver a message. Li Shi says it’s snowing heavily today, and many customers are at the hotpot restaurant.

“He can’t come home to rest, so he’ll stay at the restaurant’s backyard instead, mainly because he doesn’t know when work will finish. Still, the snow will get heavier when he finishes, and traversing the roads will be challenging.”

Li Dazhuang had gone to deliver ingredients to the hotpot restaurants, so Li Shi asked him to notify his parents that he would not be returning so they would not worry.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were somewhat disappointed. Mrs. Li had even made dumplings and was waiting for her son to come home to eat. She said, “Thank you for coming here to tell us, Dazhuang.”

“It’s no trouble, Mrs. Li. Oh, this is the pig head meat Li Shi bought and told me to bring to you.”

Mr. Li enjoyed eating pig head meat, so Li Shi would buy some to satisfy his father’s cravings. Mr. Li felt so touched that he did not know what to say.

“T-That child is something else, huh? I told him not to buy it, but he insisted.”

Li Dazhuang explained, “Li Shi went to buy it at noon and was supposed to come back earlier in the afternoon to accompany you, but he didn’t expect it to snow so heavily.”

“He has so many customers and is extremely busy. Also, the snow became heavier in the evening, so many more customers are lining up at the restaurant now.”

That was because there were no more seats left at the restaurant, even though the restaurant had many tables on both floors. Since it was freezing, many more people would go to the hotpot restaurant to feel warmer.

“Dazhuang, I happened to make dumplings. Please, come in and have some.

You can call your grandmother and younger siblings over, too.”

Mr. and Mrs. Li knew Li Dazhuang had often helped deliver messages to them and felt a little embarrassed. Since Li Shi would not return to eat, they invited Li Dazhuang and his family for dinner instead.

Li Dazhuang said smilingly, “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Li, but we’ll have to do that another day since it’s snowing quite heavily. My grandma and the others are worried too. Besides, I must still prepare tomorrow’s ingredients when I return. ”

“All right, you can come to our house for dinner another day,” Mrs. Li seemed to have thought of something and continued, “By the way, when are you and Xiaocheng getting married? You must tell me because I want to be there.”

Li Dazhuang felt embarrassed when he heard that. His face turned slightly red, but his heart felt warm when he thought of Jiang Xiaocheng. He said, “I’ll tell you when it’s almost the end of the year since I’m too busy now. I’ll have time then.”

After chatting for a while, he went home. His grandmother and sister had already prepared dinner when he arrived.

His younger sister, Li Erying, worked in the embroidery shop, but his younger brother could not work since he was too young. Instead, Li Sanzhu helped his grandmother at home.

Li Erying had also returned with a confident and dazzling smile. “Big Brother is home! I’ve already prepared dinner, so hurry up and eat, okay?”

Li Dazhaung was sincerely happy to see his sister’s confidence.

Meanwhile, his grandmother recovered and had a healthier body, as Old Madam Li could walk and do things very quickly. She no longer panted whenever she walked.

Li Dazhuang grew afraid when he saw his grandmother like that in the past. He wondered what would happen if his grandmother was no longer around and only he and his two siblings remained.

However, Old Madam Li’s health had improved exponentially since Li Dazhuang brought her to Su Wenxiu for medicine. Su Wenxiu even said Old Madam Li could live a few more decades if she cared for herself well.

Most would get married at a young age in this era, so although Old Madam Li was a grandmother, she was still relatively young.

Still, the medical standards of that era were not good. In addition, people typically had insufficient nutrition, so working was more tiring, and Old Madam Li’s body was prone to problems.

One could live longer with good conditions, food, spirits, and no significant health problems.

Li Dazhuang said, “You’ve been busy at the embroidery shop for an entire day,

Little Sister. Take a rest, and let me cook instead.”

“I’m not tired, Big Brother. I can help at home since it’s my day off tomorrow.”

Li Sanzhu hurriedly said, “Big Brother, Big Sister, you guys rest. I can do many things now.”

He looked at his elder siblings as role models and knew he had to work hard, too. He would feel proud whenever he went out and talked about his elder siblings.

“It’s snowing heavily outside,” Old Madam Li said, “Don’t stand at the door and talk. Get on the brick bed, and then we can eat and talk.”

The trio always listened to their grandmother. Li Erying would help her prepare the food alongside Li Sanzhu.

Meanwhile, Li Dazhuang tied the oxcart and entered the house. The family would happily laugh and chat whenever they ate.

Li Dazhuang would tell his grandmother about his day, and Old Madam Li would chime in whenever he forgot any details.

Li Erying would also discuss what she did at the embroidery shop, but she would not discuss the skills she learned there. She had to abide by the shop rules and could not speak of such things, even to people closest to her. Still, her grandmother always supported her.

“Grandma, I heard from one of my colleagues that Aunt Ding and Miss Su have prepared many beautiful things for Su Fengchen. Since I’m in another department at the embroidery shop, I don’t know what they look like.”

Old Madam Li said, “It should be wedding things for the Su family’s third daughter-in-law. Although the Su family doesn’t plan to hold a grand banquet, we must still give them gifts.

“Dazhuang, send the things over tomorrow. Consider it a little token of our appreciation. If it weren’t for Miss Su, you and Erying wouldn’t be here. Plus, my bones are all fine now.”

Old Madam Li spoke with a relaxed expression. She did not even dare to imagine her family’s current lifestyle in the past. At that time, she feared suddenly leaving her grandchildren behind.

He could earn a lot now that Li Dazhuang had a proper job. Meanwhile, Li Erying worked at the embroidery shop and learned skills. She also earned a lot of money monthly.

Everything in the family developed well.

Li Dazhuang was about to start a family, and his future wife was a good person, too.

Then there was Li Erying. Although she was young, many people asked matchmakers to visit her because she worked for Su Binglan. They brought her up to their children, saying they should propose to her first because she was

young.

Old Madam Li would have quickly agreed in the past, but since Li Erying was just over ten years old and Old Madam Li was in better health, the grandmother wanted to consider the man her granddaughter would marry seriously.

Her youngest grandson was also a sensible person. Li Sanzhu would not have to worry about not having a job when he grew up. Then he could also help his big brother and sister.

Moreover, Old Madam Li had heard that Su Binglan would soon open a winery.

‘Miss Su will have many things to do and employ many more people in the future. It’ll be easier for Sanzhu to find a job when he’s old enough.’

Old Madam Li was no longer worried about her grandchildren. Her expression relaxed when she thought about them. She said, “Only by eating well can you get better. After all, you three are growing. If you eat enough, your bones will develop well, and you can work harder..”
