Chapter 89 I am very happy

Jiang Zhu's words made Ye Anian startled.

　　He figured out the wooden Rubik's Cube by himself. Although the buckles inside are simple, they are interlocking. The difficulty of assembly is much more difficult than building a Rubik's Cube.

　　Logically speaking, it is impossible for anyone to imitate it in such a short period of time.

　　But if someone hadn't copied it, it must have been spread from the academy.

　　With this thought, Ye Anyian made up his mind, as long as someone didn't copy it, it would be fine.

　　He hasn't started selling the Rubik's Cube on the market yet. It wouldn't be a good thing if someone beats him to it.

　　He explained this truth to Jiang Zhu, and Jiang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll keep a closer eye on the situation in the town. If there's anything wrong, I can tell you in time."

　　The matter was settled like this, and the four of them had a good meal. Ye Anyian sent the two children to wash up quickly and go to bed. Children will not grow taller if they stay up late.

　　Before going to bed, Jiang Zhu brought the prepared medicine to Ye Annian to drink.

　　After Ye Annian finished drinking, Jiang Zhu stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth.

　　He held the candied fruit in his mouth and said vaguely: "Actually, after changing the prescription, this medicine is not so bitter."

　　Jiang Zhu stretched out his fingers to wipe the medicine stains from the corner of his mouth: "You are really the most unafraid of suffering among the patients I have ever seen."

　　Ye Anyian twitched his lips: "Maybe he drank too much medicine."

　　So many that it has become natural.

　　Jiang Zhu collected the medicine bowl that Ye Anyian had finished drinking, and then stretched out his hand towards him: "Here, give me your hand."

　　Ye Annian understood, rolled up his sleeves, and put his wrist on his hand.

　　Jiang Zhu gently held his wrist, touched his pulse with two fingers, and said after a moment of silence: "It's much better, but it will take a few more months of drinking to eradicate the disease."

　　"Then I will have to trouble you for a few more months." Ye Anyian withdrew his hand and raised a faint smile towards Jiang Zhu.

　　Jiang Zhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled. He leaned over and kissed the corner of Ye Anian's lips.

　　"No trouble, I'm very happy."

　　After saying that, he picked up the bowl and went to the main room outside, leaving Ye Annian sitting alone on the kang, with the blush on her cheeks reaching to the tips of her ears.

　　A night of silence.

　　The next day, Jiang Zhu drove the bullock cart to the town early. The two children ate the morning meal and followed Shitou out to play.

　　Ye Annian worked on the Rubik's Cube all morning. Thinking about Jiang Zhu's suggestion last night, he went to Chen Xiucai's house to find Yang Chi in the afternoon.

　　Now that Yang Chi is alone at home with Lingling, he is afraid that he will get tired of it. If he can learn how to make a mud cry with him, he can relieve his boredom even if he does not make money.

　　When he arrived at Chen's house, Lingling was taking a nap. Yang Chi welcomed him in. Hearing Ye Anyian's words, he immediately became interested.

"I think it can be done. Mud Scream and Bamboo Dragonfly are both easy. If you teach me more, I should be able to learn it." Yang Chi was quite confident in himself.

　　He is not clumsy with his hands and is good at embroidery. He sewed all the clothes for Lingling, Huaishu and Chen Maoyan at home. The embroidered patterns on it were even praised by many aunts and boys in the village.

　　"Then if you have nothing to do today, you can take Lingling there later and let's try first."

　　"Sure," Yang Chi agreed readily, "When Lingling wakes up later, I will take her there."

　　"Well," Ye Anyian nodded, "Then I won't bother you."

　　He stood up to leave, and Yang Chi sent him out. He didn't know what he thought of, and then said: "You are looking for help. How many are you going to find? Apart from me, have you decided on the other people?"

　　As soon as Ye Annian heard this, he knew that he must have been recommended by someone. It happened that he was not very familiar with other aunts and brothers in the village, so he said: "Not yet. If you have a suitable person, bring him over with him." That's it."

　　After thinking about it, he added: "It doesn't take too many. Let's look at three or four first."

　　After all, making a clay figurine looks simple, but it's really not that easy to get started.

　　Find three or four people, and it would be good if you can leave two who can get started.

　　"Okay, then I may have to stay a little later in the afternoon." Yang Chi said.

　　Ye Annian came out of Chen's house and went to Zhao Lizheng's house. He originally wanted to learn from Zhao Le, but Zhao Le had no patience for this aspect and was also clumsy.

　　"How about you try with my sister?" Zhao Le raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Zhao Nan sitting under the window embroidering a handkerchief and said.

　　Zhao Nan was working seriously when he suddenly heard Zhao Le mentioning himself and said a little embarrassedly: "I can't do it. Brother, you also know that I work very slowly."

　　Ye Anyian stood not too far away from her and glanced at the pattern on her handkerchief. Although he didn't know how to embroider, he could see that the stitching was very dense and the work was very detailed.

　　"It's okay. I'm looking for help. It's just because I have other things to do recently, so I don't have time to do this. It doesn't matter if you take it slow. Once you learn it, you will become proficient."

　　"Then... how about I try?"

　　Zhao Nan saw Shitou playing with the dog-like Mud Mew, and thought it was small and beautiful. It made a "beep" sound when blown, and he liked it very much.

　　Now that I have the opportunity to learn to pinch, of course I am happy.

　　Ye Anyian immediately took the siblings back together.

　　When the three of them got home, Ye Anyian first took out the mud he had packed up before, cut off two small pieces and distributed them to Zhao Le and Zhao Nan. Then he also cut a small piece and took them to knead it.

　　Among the shapes of various small animals, the bird is the simplest, and Ye Anyian started teaching it from the bird.

　　First, pinch out the general outline of the bird, wait until the large shape is almost complete, and then use small tools to carve out the details.

　　Zhao Nan pinched it very seriously, pinching the outline back and forth for a long time. Ye Anian finally understood why she said her hands were slow.

　　In fact, it was either that he was slow, or that he was too serious and pursued perfection. Although he already felt that the shape he had pinched was acceptable, Zhao Nan still felt that it was not good, so he improved it bit by bit compared to the one he pinched.

　　As for Zhao Le, he is just a bastard. He holds a piece of clay and learns it well, but the result he squeezes out looks like a duck that has been sat flat.

　　Ye Anyian taught each step in detail, and Zhao Le made two ugly ducks in the blink of an eye. He put them in his mouth and blew them, making a "quacking" sound, making them look more like ducks.

　　Ye Anyian laughed at him mercilessly.

　　Looking at Zhao Nan again, I have to say that although she pinches slowly, the things she pinches out are really beautiful. The little bird is very delicate at first glance.

　　In Zhao Le's words: This looks like a female.

　　He picked it up and blew it to his mouth. The whistle sounded loud and clear.

　　Zhao Le was unconvinced and fiddled with Zhao Nan's little bird over and over again, and then said, "I understand, don't laugh at me, I will definitely make it this time."

　　Ye Anyian didn't hit him and cut him another piece of mud.

　　Zhao Nan was helpless: "Don't waste Brother Nian's mud."

　　Zhao Le refused, and began to pinch again.

　　At this time, the fence door made a soft sound, and it was Yang Chi who came with someone.

　　Yang Chi brought two people, an aunt in her fifties or sixties, and a young boy.

　　Madam, Ye Anyian doesn't have much impression, but the little brother does know a little bit.

　　It seems that he belongs to the old Xu family in the south of the village. He is introverted, reticent, and rarely goes out.

　　The reason why he had the impression was that he had met her twice before when he was at Ye's house when he went to wash clothes by the stream.

　　Like him, this little brother from the Xu family likes to hide to the side, far away from the crowd, work alone, and then leave after finishing his work.

　　"This is Aunt Wang, my next-door neighbor. This is Brother Yan, who is good friends with me." Yang Chi introduced.

Ye Annian greeted both of them and went to Yaolu to move chairs for them to sit.

　　Fuzai and Dingqiu went out crazy again in the afternoon. There were no children at home, so Lingling had no playmates.

　　But the little girl was very well-behaved. Knowing that her father wanted to learn how to make clay figurines, she opened her hands and asked Ye Anyian to hold her.

　　Ye Anian was naturally happy, and while holding the soft little breasts, he taught several people how to squeeze the little bird.

　　After an hour, the stone table was already filled with little clay birds made by everyone.

　　Ye Annian took a look around and found that Zhao Nan's was the best. Yang Chi and Yan Ge'er were also able to take a look at it. For someone who was learning for the first time, it was already very good.

　　Aunt Wang's is worse. The bird's head is almost as thick as its body, but it can still be seen that it is a bird.

　　As for Zhao Le, this guy has created a bunch of ugly and weird ducks.

　　There was no need for Ye Annian to laugh at him this time. Lingling, a clever little girl, had already taken the lead in laughing. She also insisted on blowing the ugly duck pinched by Zhao Le, making a "quacking" sound. She laughed so hard that her little breasts stuck to Ye An Nian rolled in his arms.

　　When it was almost evening, Ye Anyian told a few people that they could come over and continue studying after taking a break after lunch tomorrow.

　　Zhao Le, Zhao Nan, Yang Chi and Aunt Wang all agreed readily, only Brother Yan hesitated.

　　"I...I might have to be later."

　　"What's the matter?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　He thought that if Brother Yan had something to do, he could adjust the time, but Yang Chi said, "Brother Yan has to finish his work at home before he can come over."

　　Xu Yan bit his lip and nodded.

　　Ye Anian was also taught by Wu Xianglian and others when he was at the Ye family, so he naturally knew Xu Yan's difficulties.

　　"It's okay. Don't delay if it's later. I'll teach you alone then."

　　When Xu Yan heard this, his eyes lit up for a moment.

　　He originally thought that if he really couldn't catch up with everyone in time, he would forget it.

　　After setting the time, it was time for everyone to go home.

　　Zhao Le looked at the strange little clay birds on the table and said, "Brother Nian, can we take these away?"

　　Despite how ugly he was, he still wanted to keep one as a memory.

　　"Yes." Ye Annian said, "But don't worry, it hasn't been painted yet."

　　"You can also teach coloring." Zhao Nan was a little surprised. She thought she was only taught about pinching.

　　"Of course, I have to let you learn how to match the colors. You can't just make dozens or hundreds of them. In the end, I have to color them one by one."

　　"Then when can we learn?" Yang Chi asked.

Ye Annian thought for a while: "We can't rush this. Let's wait until you learn four or five kinds of animal shapes."

　　"That will take a long time." Zhao Le suddenly felt a little discouraged.

　　Zhao Nan laughed at him: "How can it be better if you make it look like this?"

　　"That's also the first time in my life that I made mud and screamed. I have to treasure it!"

　　Zhao Le's words made everyone laugh again.

　　Not long after sending a few people away, the two children came back with Jiang Zhu.

　　"How is the situation in the town today?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　"There was a lot of chatting, but I didn't see anyone playing with a Rubik's Cube."

Ye Anyian was completely relieved, thinking that the one yesterday should have just escaped from Hongfu Academy.

　　"However, I'm afraid your cheap dad's marriage has already been decided."

　　Jiang Zhu stopped the bullock cart and helped the two children out of the cart: "I saw him shopping in the town with the Zhou girl today."

　　"Oh." Ye Anyian didn't care much about Ye Chenghe.

　　But Jiang Zhu said: "An Nian, your scumbag father really has some tricks up his sleeve."

　　"How to say?"

　　"I looked at Zhou Rong's belly, and it seemed like she had it."

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　No wonder the Zhou family didn't break off the engagement when the old Ye family had an incident involving betrothal gifts and rocks. How could this be so?
