In the days that followed, Li Lin worked in the outer courtyard of Li's house. If anything happened, he would have someone come to Li's house.
Shizai also followed his father to the outer courtyard, and his life became happier again. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would go to Mr. Xue's place to play for a while.
Li Lin arranged for him to be enlightened in the spring of next year. Mr. Xue had nothing to do for the time being, so he was busy writing books when he had nothing to do.
Although Mr. Xue felt that Li Lin was taking advantage of him, he also knew that his skills and knowledge were valuable. It would be better to write down his recipes and experiences to accompany him into the coffin in the future. It may benefit future generations.
Maybe this old man will still be remembered in history, and thousands of years later, people will still remember his miracle doctor Xue Buxi.
Although he never cared about such things as false fame, it was better than nothing.
Seeing that he agreed, Li Lin arranged for two people to come over to help record the book. He planned to print a few more copies after the book was completed and send it to various places. It would also benefit all people. For Mr. Xue, it was also a meritorious deed. .
As the New Year approached, Li Lin became busy again and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, while Su Wan took the children and was busy with her affairs.
Recently, the account books and harvests from Dong Zhao were also sent over. Suichuan also checked them one by one, but she also had to look through them to make sure they were correct before putting the money away.
In addition, the Li family also has a lot of private property, many of which are outside the country, and some inside the country. In the past, the people below helped manage these things, but this year when she came, these things were naturally handed over to her.
In addition, we have to prepare the annual gifts for each family. These were all prepared by Uncle Zhong in the past, but now that he is getting older and has a mistress at home, he naturally wants to teach things.
In the past few years, he could still help and watch. After a few years, when Su Wan got started, he would give up the responsibility.
Su Wan was so busy that her feet never touched the floor. By the time she finished all the work, put the harvest in the warehouse, and sent out the New Year gifts, it was already December 28th, and the New Year would soon come.
Zaizai, who had been neglected by his parents for a long time, hugged his mother's arm and rubbed it.
This year, Li Lin's birthday was not celebrated well. The family just had a meal together in the evening, and there was nothing else.
Su Wan leaned on the soft pillow and smoothed her cub's fur: "Why is our Ashi so clingy today?"
After Zaizai's third birthday, Li Lin thought about it and felt that it was not too easy to trick the child, so he discussed it with Su Wan. Don't call him "Zai Zai", "Zai Zai", for fear that he would be embarrassed in the future. When I grow up, I am so ashamed that I hit the wall.
Su Wan thought for a while and agreed. Although she felt that the word "Zai Zai" was too cute, but as an old mother, she shouldn't cheat her son too much. If he grows up in the future and everyone calls him that, he doesn't want it. Face?
So when she remembered, she would change it. If she didn't remember, there was nothing she could do.
"I miss my mother! I miss my father!" He looked at his mother longingly, "Mother and father haven't been with your cub for a long time."
"I'm sorry, okay, it's all my father and mother's fault. However, my father and mother are really busy recently. Otherwise, why wouldn't Ashi be with us?"
"But you have been very good and obedient recently and have not made any noise. Mom can give you a reward. What do you want?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Zai Zai is celebrating his birthday!"
Happy birthday, happy birthday, lots of gifts, and dad and mom with you!
"Celebrate your birthday?" Su Wan burst into laughter, stretched out her hand and nodded his little head, and then said, "That's not possible. Birthdays can only be celebrated once a year. It's the day you were born, so you can't just celebrate it if you want to. If it passes, you can change it."
Zaizai didn't understand: "What is the day of birth?"
Su Wan choked for a moment and didn't know how to answer for a moment. If she said it was the day he came into this world, maybe his next question would be to ask how he came here.
This question has always been an eternal problem for parents. When I didn't know how to explain it, some answers came out like "picked up on the roadside," picked up in the trash can, "fished out of the water" and so on.
Su Wan reached out and frowned, trying to trick him: "Do you miss your dad?"
Zaizai glanced at her, as if he saw clearly the nature of her change of topic, and planned to ask further: "Mother, what is the day of birth?"
Su Wan twitched the corner of her mouth, and then said: "Mom doesn't understand either. Why don't you ask your father? Your father is smarter and will definitely know."
She just shied away the blame when she couldn't answer. She really did this too much.
After hearing this, Zaizai could only sigh: "Well, when dad comes back, I will ask dad."
Su Wan felt something was wrong, but she didn't know how to answer, so she had to leave it like this.
Li Lin came back in the evening. Zaizai was very happy to see his father and chatted for a long time. Seeing that he didn't mention it, Su Wan wondered if he had forgotten it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could finish breathing, he was choked.
"Dad, what is the day of birth? Mom said she didn't understand, so she asked me to ask dad."
Su Wan: "..."
Li Lin glanced at her indifferently, then lowered his head and explained to his son: "It was the day you came to me and your mother."
Zai Zai looked at him with wide eyes, looking very curious: "Then, where did Zai Zai come from?"
Su Wan reached out to cover her face, and her thoughts turned out to be true.
She was thinking about how this person would answer Zaizai's question, whether it was 'picked up on the roadside' or 'caught in the water'.
Li Lin glanced at her, and then said: "Your mother's biological child."
Zaizai: "?!"
He looked at his father and then his mother, with a confused look on his face, and then asked, "How did you give birth?"
Su Wan's face turned red: "Li Jingyuan!"
Can't you coax him?
Li Lin stretched out his hand to touch the kid's little head, and then said: "One day, you suddenly came to us, and then you were in your mother's belly. You were still small at that time, so you had to be raised in your mother's belly. After ten months, when you have grown up, you will be born."
Zaizai seems to understand.
Li Lin added: "You don't have to think about this. This is something you can only know when you grow up. When you grow up, you will naturally know it. But your mother has worked hard to raise you. Don't mess with her in the future. Angry, you know?”
Su Wan was still angry just now, thinking that he missed his study tonight, but when he heard this, his heart softened again.
Dog man, you are the only one who can say nice things, right?
But she thought to herself, forget it, since he is so good at talking, let's let him go for now.
She is a generous person.
When she raised her eyes, she saw this man smiling at her again, his eyes soft and gentle.
She thought in her heart that although this person always wanted to make her angry occasionally, but since he was also good at coaxing, she could forgive him for now.
You choose your husband, and you can only live like this...
