commotion was unknown to the neighboring households, but it couldn't escape the notice of several elderly gentlemen next door.Especially those on duty guarding the fields, they too came rushing over w...Needless to say, Dean Zhou was delighted and invited Lao Li Er for lunch. He also invited Mr. Peng and Mr. Tang over.

Four people gathered together, eating, drinking and laughing. Li Lao Er took the opportunity to invite them to attend the grand opening of Bai Huayuan Garden.

Of course, all the directors, especially Director Zhou, readily agreed. Director Zhou had taken a look last time and couldn't get it out of his mind ever since he returned.

Li Lao'er also wanted to reciprocate. He proactively offered that every month, he could choose one day to send some famous flowers to the academy to be enjoyed by the students and teachers.

The director's eyes lit up, and he readily asked Mr. Tang to teach another course on appreciation.

He doesn't need to go into great detail, just tell the students about the origin of famous flowers, elaborate on some anecdotes and poems, broadening their horizons.

Mr. Tang agreed immediately, but requested to personally select the flowers at Baihuayuan.

That's rather rude, considering the Li family hasn't received a single penny from the academy. They are purely helping out of goodwill and engaging in friendly exchanges.

If Mr. Tang chose the most expensive flower, it would delay the sale of flowers at Baihuayuan Garden, wouldn't it harm their business

But Li Er understood the stubbornness of scholars, and was also grateful to Mr. Tang for seriously guiding Jiaren's left-hand writing. So, without any hesitation, he agreed.

This made Dean Zhou even more grateful, and his good impression of the Li family reached a new high.

Even Mr. Tang cast a glance of respect towards Second Li, for he knew his request was somewhat unreasonable. Yet, the Li family surprisingly agreed to it.

This kind of inclusiveness and generosity is truly rare...

In Li's small courtyard behind the shopping street, Wenjuan was frowning at two jade gourds and eight golden fruits inside the house.

Uncle Two just said that they've already sent their food to the cafeteria.

These two jade gourds and golden fruits are parting gifts for her, and she also plans to send them to the academy to get acquainted with the two Fu ladies.

But the jade gourd is too heavy, and it can't just be held like this.

In the end, it was Xiao Yue who found a way. She found a pole and two small baskets.

Inside a basket there was a jade gourd, four golden fruits, and with ease he carried it forward.

Wén Juān locked the door, raised an oiled paper umbrella to shield from the sun, and smiled as she followed behind.

The two noble ladies, whenever they got fine fabrics or delicious food made at home, would send a portion to Wenjuan.

Frequent movement makes it easier to get acquainted with people.

Now, with the addition of jade gourds and golden fruits, they both beamed with delight as they accepted them.

In the end, the three of them sat down and chatted, eating snacks and drinking tea. They had a lively time for quite a while before letting Wenjuan go to the dining hall.

At this moment, the dining hall had just finished serving meals. The students, having eaten their fill, were going back to their dorms with iced fruit drinks. Niu Heng and Lin Er were bustling about, so Xiao Yue quickly ran over to help out.

Zhao Yuru saw her daughter-in-law from afar and waved to her from the doorway.

Wenjuan stepped onto the stairs and was pulled inside by her mother-in-law. Then, she was handed a cool piece of jade melon.

Originally, the two jade gourds that Li Laer sent were both cut open.

At this moment, everyone in the dining hall, including Jiarren, Ligouer, and Maogeuer, were eating melon seeds.

"The watering really wasn't for nothing, this watermelon is so sweet!"

"Yes, we should wait for the elder to come over and inquire about the selling price in the village. It's really time to raise the price! Even if it's ten taels each, I believe those wealthy families in the city would be willing to buy."

"I don't think the price will go up. The village head probably doesn't want outsiders to label our village as greedy."

"I guess so, but they're still selling at last year's price. People are still making a lot of money this year."

Dazhu and Wu San Shu were chatting and laughing as they ate, their mouths almost splitting into ear-to-ear grins.

Although they work in the canteen, they still get a share of the village's bonus.

Who wouldn't be happy about the money they'll get at the end of the year

Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er had not spared their meals, and at this moment, they had each gnawed on four or five pieces of jade melon. Jia Ren then stopped them, “You can’t eat anymore, be careful that you still have to take a sick leave to the toilet during class.”

Both Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er were still a little unsatisfied, but they obediently stopped.

Jia Ren took them to wash their hands and faces, then bade farewell to everyone and went to the academy.

Wenjuan ate a piece of emerald cucumber and told her grandmother about the matter of giving gifts.

Zhao Yuru laughed and said, "Human relationships are like that. You should socialize when you're supposed to, so that when you need someone's help, it's easier to ask. Don't try to make friends at the last minute!"

Having said that, she brought out a set meal and asked her daughter-in-law, "Didn't you have lunch today Eat a little something quickly, then go back and look after the house."

Wenjuan smiled and took it, finding a quiet corner to eat slowly.

Sometimes, she would think to herself that it must have been her late mother, remembering that she was unloved and cherished, who protected her and allowed her to marry into the Li family. She had such a good husband and in-laws, and a large extended family...

She was grateful and, for a moment, didn't pay attention as she picked up a chopstick of lamb.

On ordinary days, she wasn't fond of mutton's gamey flavor, but she could stomach it. But today, something seemed off. As soon as the mutton went down her throat, it felt like poison, choking her so much that she turned her head and vomited violently.

Zhao Yuru was discussing with Wu Sanniang about making noodles, planning to make some scallion pancakes in the evening and boil a pot of mutton and offal soup for the students to change their taste.

Hearing the noise, she turned around and was terrified. They rushed forward immediately.

The rest of them were also taken aback and crowded around.

Wénjuān's skirt was stained with filth, her face flushed red. She gritted her teeth and fought back the nausea, saying, "Mother, I'm fine. It's just that the mutton is too gamey, I couldn't stand it for a moment. It'll be alright in a while..."

Zhao Yuru was still not at ease, and said, "No way, isn't it that Xia Ri is greedy for coolness, and her stomach has gone bad Let's find a doctor to take a look!"

But Wu Sanniang suddenly cried out, "Oh my, Wenjuan must be pregnant!"

Got it

Everyone was left dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what was happening.

It was Zhao Yuru who suddenly had a flash of inspiration and became excited.

She and Wu Sannv's hurriedly helped Wen Juan into the side room, and softly asked her a few questions.

Wen Juan blushed and replied, Wu Sanniang then rushed out the door and quickly brought over the imperial physician from the academy.

After feeling the patient's pulse, the old doctor gave everyone a big piece of good news with a smile.

"Indeed it's a happy pulse, for two months already!"

The entire dining hall was in an uproar, everyone overjoyed.

Everyone says Lao Li's family is prosperous, but this is too prosperous.

Look! The fourth generation of EyeSee is about to be born!

Especially Zhao Yuru and Li Laosan, their mouths were stretched wide with laughter.

They are actually going to be grandparents!

Just happened that Li Lao Er was three points drunk, coming from Zhou's doctor's house. Hearing that he was going to be a grandfather again, he was also surprised and smiled, “Jia Huan this child is usually quiet and unassuming, but he turned out to be the most promising one in the family.”

"Not only did she get married first, but now she's going to give the family a great-grandchild! Look at Jia Ren, he's a year older than Jia Huan, yet he still hasn't gotten married or had children! And what about Jia Yi He's nowhere to be found!"

Everyone laughed. Wu Sanniang, quick-witted as ever, soothed him, saying, "Sir, why the rush The boy is about to open his mind. Besides, our young master isn't refusing marriage; he just hasn't met the right one yet."

"Maybe when they hear that they're all uncles and aunts, they'll start to worry. Who knows, maybe there will be good news by this time next year!"

Li Laer heard the laughter and hurriedly bid farewell to everyone, rushing home to tell his mother the good news.

Grandma Li had no idea that her family was about to welcome another great-grandchild. At this moment, she was glaring at a mess on the floor!
