Chapter 460 This is a little secret between me and Fu Niuer!

nt someone to invite Young Master Yan back home for their arranged marriage.Since their eight characters matched and the dowry was paid, they just waited for Master Yan to return and marry her formall..."Well, miss, the weather outside is lovely. Why don't you come out and play on the swings for a while"

Jia Yin was holding several tea canisters, learning to differentiate the types of tea. She was studying the varieties, origins, and flavors, which were quite complex.

Those who are wealthy have many rituals when it comes to drinking tea. You need to understand them, otherwise, in the future, you won't be able to tell if the tea is good or bad when you go out or visit someone. It would be embarrassing!

She was racking her brain trying to figure out the difference between Ming Qian Longjing and Yuqian Longjing. Hearing this, she readily replied, "No need, grandma. You might as well tell me about these two teas again. I still don't understand."

Grandma He braced herself and slowly began to speak.

In the front courtyard, Old Mrs. Li sat with her legs crossed, gazing at the entrance, waiting impatiently for her second son to return.

The granddaughter has been listless these past few days, she's more anxious than anyone else.

When the child was lazy, shirking her studies, she got worried.

But the child suddenly became diligent, which terrified her even more!

How could such a good child turn bad

Could it be that the previous blow was too great

Early in the morning, she drove her son into town and told him to buy all the delicious snacks there.

As a result, the second child didn't come back, but the third child and Zhao Yuru came back.

The couple entered the room and peeked around looking for their little niece. They couldn't find her anywhere, which was strange.

Lao Li pointed to the backyard and said, “She's learning etiquette in the backyard, very seriously. If you can coax her out, you'll be our great hero.”

Zhao Yuru was about to step forward, but Li Laosan stopped her and then went into the backyard himself.

Jia Yin occasionally looked up and saw her third uncle had returned. She was truly delighted.

She ran out while shouting, and grabbed Li Lao San's arm. "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, when did you come back"

Li Lao San smiled and crouched down to carry his little niece on his back. He walked slowly under the grape trellis, careful not to let the sun shine on her.

Then, he said, "I came to see you as soon as I entered. Uncle Three, I brought you some glutinous rice cakes and some delicious snacks."

"Third Uncle is the best!" Jia Yin kicked her little feet, laughing with her big eyes curved.

Grandma He still wanted to step forward to pay respects, but the third son waved her hand and sent her back to the front yard.

After a while, only the old man and his grandson remained in the yard. Li Laosan sat on the swing, putting his niece on his lap, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Three heard that our Fu Niu'er was wronged and unhappy"

Jia Yin thought to herself that Third Uncle had travelled such a long distance just because she had thrown a little tantrum. She felt very ashamed and quickly said, "No, Third Uncle, I just don't want to go out!"

After we left, nobody dared to bring it up. But everyone looked weird, smiling strangely. I didn't fall into the latrine, you know! And frankly, I wasn’t happy about it! Besides, I’m a big kid now, and I should learn the rules.

Li Lao San tugged on his little niece's braids, soft and silky, not like a big girl at all. He couldn't help but smile.

After looking around to make sure no one was watching, he leaned close to his niece and whispered, "You know, Uncle Three actually fell into a latrine when he was little!"

Jia Yin was so startled that her eyes widened. She quickly covered her mouth.

Li Laosan nodded vigorously, afraid his niece wouldn't believe him, and added, "When I was a kid, I went to the outhouse. Because it was dark, I accidentally fell in halfway and got half my body dirty. Luckily it was summer. I was afraid your grandma would scold me, so I ran to the ditch and washed myself clean."

"The big kang in our house was long, perfect for my dad and me to sleep at the tail end. Your grandma still smelled something foul and thought your dad had soiled himself, giving him a good beating!"

Jia Yin imagined it, her father sleeping soundly, then getting a beating. He would be totally confused, and she'd find that hilarious.

"Haha, my dad is so pitiful! Totally a disaster without any cause!"

She stretched out her little hand, rubbing her belly's five-layered folds, laughing until it hurt…

Li Laosan also laughed, coughed twice, and secretly told his niece, "Keep this a secret from your father, I never dared to tell him. Your father doesn't even know why he was beaten that time!"

"Of course, I wouldn't tell Father," Jiayin quickly assured him, even extending her little hand to hook fingers with Sanbo. "Hook on the finger, a hundred years unbreakable, whoever changes is a puppy!"

Li Laosan rubbed his niece's head and said slowly, "Funiu, look, who didn't make mistakes when they were young Who wasn't teased a few times So, we don't be afraid. We will grow up slowly, right"

"Well, well!" Jia Yin's heart was warmed to the core. She knew that San Bo confessed his embarrassing stories just to comfort her and cheer her up.

Everyone says that San Bo is the most ordinary and least capable of the four Li brothers.

Actually, they didn't know that Sanbo was the most cultured of the Li brothers.

He is meticulous and gentle, filial and peaceful. He never wants to compete with his brothers, even for a word of praise.

He only works silently, quietly doing his part for this family...

In the front yard, Old Mrs. Li and Zhao Yuru were worried sick. Now that they finally saw Li Lao San carrying the little girl over, they were overjoyed.

"Funiu'er, come here quickly! See what delicious treats your third aunt bought for you!" Li Laotai beamed with joy, holding her granddaughter in her arms.

She generously gave all the snack boxes to her granddaughter, no longer worried that she would eat too many snacks and get indigestion.

Now all of that doesn't matter, just get the granddaughter back to normal as quickly as possible.

Jia Yin giggled, hugged the box of snacks, and dashed around the room until Grandma, Uncle Three, Aunt Three, even He Mama and Shui Ling Shui Yun had their share. Then she sat back in Grandma's lap contentedly, eating with glee!

The old woman let out a long sigh of relief and then looked at her third son with great curiosity, asking, "Third son, how did you manage to coax Fu Niuer This child is smart, but once she gets stuck on something, no one can persuade her. These past few days, she's worried everyone in the family."

Li Laosan scratched his head, winked at his niece, and smiled, "Mom, I can't tell you. This is a secret between me and Funiu!"

"Yes, a secret!" Jiayin quickly agreed, only to accidentally spit out some cookie crumbs. This made the old lady worry she would choke, so she hurriedly gave her water and stopped asking questions.

Zhao Yuru pinched her little niece's cheek, saying with concern, "Our Funiu has lost weight these days. She needs to eat more! In a few days when our house is not busy, come live with grandma in Lu'an for a while."

Having said that, she turned to her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, we've come back about something, and we want to discuss it with you."

"What's the matter" asked the old woman, "Didn't you have enough money to buy a shop"

Zhao Yuru quickly shook her head, “Mother, I’m afraid we don’t need to buy the stall anymore, there’s a new business opportunity.”

Li Laosan also laughed, "Mother, yesterday, Dean Zhou came to our shop and ate a set meal. Then he told me, would you like to open a canteen in the academy"

He said that the academy originally had a break for an hour at noon and in the evening, then students would run out to eat, which wasted a lot of time and the food wasn't very good or enjoyable. So, he wanted to reorganize the academy dining hall, so that the academy gates wouldn't be open at noon, and the students would all eat in the cafeteria. After they finished eating, they would go back to class.

“Then, move the hour saved at noon to the afternoon. This way, school ends in the late afternoon, and together you have two hours to rest. Whether it's going out of the academy or playing, you will have plenty of time and won’t be rushed.”

Lao Li was delighted and replied, "That's wonderful news! Every time Jia Ren and the others go to Lu'an, they come back for meals at midday and evening, but they rush in and out and we never have a chance to chat with them much."

"In the afternoon and evening, after they are together, they can rest for two hours. Then the children will have time to go home for a good meal and conversation!"

It's a shame I still have to live on campus. It would be better if I could commute and live in our new courtyard."

Zhao Yuru also smiled and said, “That’s right, mother. I thought the same way. It’s a pity that the academy is afraid that students living outside will cause trouble, so they have to live on campus.”

The old woman smiled and said, "Take it slow, perhaps she'll change later on."

After a moment's pause, she continued, "Dr. Zhou, how about the capital and profit sharing" stalks of bamboo were grown in Jia Yin Space. Their quality is far superior to ordinary bamboo. They are sweet, soft, chewy, and fragrant, leaving everyone surprised and delighted."Hmm, this corn tas...
