Chapter Eighty-two Thousand Layers Bottom

  "Wait, Man Er," shouted Lian Zhier.

  "Sister, why are you chasing after me? Is there something going on?" Lian Man'er stopped and looked at Lian Zhi'er with some surprise.

  Perhaps due to running over here, Lian Yuer's face was flushed red, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

  "Man Er, this is for you..." Lian Zhi Er pulled Lian Man Er away from the road and stopped in a more secluded area. He then reached into his pocket and handed her a small package made of coarse cloth.

  The small package is square in shape and what's inside doesn't seem edible.

  "What's this?" Lian Wan took over the package. The package still had Lian Zhi's body temperature, and Lian Wan glanced at Lian Zhi, how did she not notice that Lian Zhi was still carrying this thing.

  "Hmm..." Lian Yier hadn't spoken yet, but her face had turned even redder.

  Lian Man'er was even stranger, so she simply put down the basket in her hand and opened the bundle of cloth.

  "Shoes?"

  Inside the cloth bag was a pair of powder blue satin surface, thousand-layered sole round mouth casual shoes. Judging from the size, it seemed to be...

  Lian Man'er was slightly surprised and looked up at Lian Zhi'er.

  Lian Zhi Er's face was already completely red.

  "Sister, what's this?"

  "Man Er, this shoe was made by mother." Lian Zhier hastily said, his words somewhat stuttering.

  Zhang's needlework was exceptional, and Guan'er had started learning from her very early on. Now, the work she did was quite impressive... but compared to Zhang's, it still fell short by a bit.

  "Oh, no wonder mother has been holding needles and threads all these days." Lian Man'er's thoughts turned slightly, and she immediately smiled.

  Lian Zhi'er saw Lian Man'r and didn't suspect anything, so she let out a breath of relief and wasn't as tense as before.

  "Man Er, this is the shoes our mother made for Young Heng Ge. Young Heng Ge has helped us so much, and we don't have anything to repay him with... these shoes are just a small token of gratitude." Lian Zhi Er said quickly, as if some of her words were meant to convince herself.

  "Mm." Lian Wan'er nodded.

  "Man Er, take a look at the shoes, are they alright?" Lian Zhi Er handed the shoes to Lian Man Er and didn't leave immediately, asking her another question.

  Can't Mom's handmade shoes be good? Lian Wan wanted to say that. But looking at Lian Zhi's expression, she couldn't bear it. Lian Zhi has thin skin.

  "Of course it's fine." Lian Man'er said, "Looking at the needlework, it's both neat and dense, and the appearance is also good-looking. The sole is still thickened, and Yu Heng will be comfortable wearing them when walking."

  Lian Zhi'er's face lit up with a smile.

  Lian Rong was only fourteen years old, but she seemed like a young sapling with extremely strong vitality that could still survive strongly in poor soil. And once she had some nourishment, she could immediately grow vigorously. After Lian Man's rebirth, she had been working hard to improve everyone's diet, and life after the division of the family was not only better in terms of food, but also no longer suffered from the tyranny of Zhou Shi from the upper house. Lian Rong seemed to have started growing taller overnight.

  Such a branch and such a smile. Suddenly made Lian Man Er have a kind of beautiful feeling. Indeed, the most beautiful is still Luo Li Ta.

  Lian Man Er couldn't help but be a little bit evil.

  "When I went out, I asked Mother if there was anything else, why did she want to send shoes to Yu Heng Ge, and didn't even tell me." Lian Man Er said with narrowed eyes.

  "Oh..." Lian Yier's face suddenly flushed red again, "It was Mother who gave it to me...Mother handed it over to me...Mother must have forgotten to tell you."

  Lian Man'er restrained herself from laughing out loud, after all, it was her own sister, so she stopped at the right moment.

  "No wonder, you're the eldest sister, this matter should be handed over to you." Lian Man'er said.

  Lian Yuer's hand grasped the hem of her clothes. "Man Er, you should go quickly, I also need to head back."

  "Sister, why don't we let Second Brother and Xiao Qi stay here, and you come with me to see Young Heng Ge?" said Lian Man Er.

  "I'm not going." Lian Zhi'er replied quickly this time. "Man Er, you go see You Heng Ge and just ask him how he's doing on our behalf."

  "Of course," said Lian Man Er.

  Lian Zhi'er again instructed Lian Man'r to be careful on the road, then turned around and left.

  Lian Man'er put the shoes in a basket and carried it out of the market. The market was not far from Jisheng Hall, and after passing through two small alleys, she arrived at the main street of Qingyang Town where Jisheng Hall was located.

  Jizhentang had already opened its doors, and as soon as Lian'er walked in, she saw Wang Zhanggui directing the shop assistants with their tasks.

  "Boss Wang, I've come to see little Heng," said Lian Mian'er with a smile.

  After what happened last time, Wang Youheng secretly instructed Wang Zhanggui that if Lian Man'er and her younger sisters came to find him again, he should not block them.

  "Third Sister has arrived! Young Master is in the backyard." Wang Zhanggui smiled and said, "I'll take Third Sister over there."

  "Manager Wang, you're busy, I'll just go myself." said Lian Man Er.

  Wang Zhanggui indeed had some trouble getting away, but he still sent a young apprentice to guide Lian Man'er.

  Ji Sheng Tang is a front shop and back yard, walking into the backyard of Ji Sheng Tang, you see Wang Youheng wearing a blue robe, sitting under a big tree in the yard, next to a stone table, still holding a book in his hand.

  Wang Youheng came out of the house, doesn't that mean his injury has healed a lot?

  "Young Brother Heng." Lian Wan'er called out happily.

  "Man'er is here!" Wang Youheng raised his head, saw Lian Man'er, and smiled, "Man'er, come sit down."

  Lian Man'er quickly walked over, and the young shop assistant followed, placing the basket Lian Man'er had brought on the stone table. He bowed to Wang Youheng before returning to the store.

  "Young Brother Heng, how's your injury?" asked Lian Man Er, who hadn't even sat down yet.

  "It's all right." Wang Youheng said.

  "Is everything really okay?"

  "Can't I even fool you?" Wang Youheng saw that Lian Man'er was really worried, so he stood up from the stone bench, walked back and forth a couple of times for Lian Man'er to see, and deliberately exercised his arms and legs. "Look, isn't it completely healed."

  Wang Youheng was acting naturally, and her complexion had also improved a lot compared to the last time she came. There was no longer such a strong smell of medicine on her body. It seemed that she had indeed recovered, and Lian Man finally put his mind at ease.

  "Little brother Wang, I brought some food, try some." Lian Man'er removed the cloth covering the basket and pushed it in front of Wang Youheng, personally peeling two peanuts and handing them to him.

  "Young Brother Heng, you try it first and see if it's good." Lian Man Er said with a smile.

  "It's peanuts!" Wang Youheng saw that Lian Man'er was so considerate, the smile on his face deepened a few more points.

  "This is no ordinary peanut." Lian Man'er said with a serious expression.

  Wang Youheng took over the peanuts that Lian Man'er had peeled and put them in his mouth, chewing slowly.

  "It's garlicky flavor? Very fragrant, um, delicious." Wang Youheng praised.

  "As long as Young Master Heng likes it." Lian Man'er was delighted to see that Wang Youheng liked it.

  Wang Youheng looked at the full basket of peanuts, he knew that peanuts were a valuable commodity in rural households, and ordinary families who grew their own peanuts couldn't bear to eat them by the handful. The Lianman family was also not a wealthy household.

  "Man Er, I'll give you all these flowers. I won't be able to finish them anyway. Why don't I keep some and you take the rest back?" said Wang Youheng.

  Lian Man'er knew that Wang Youheng was thinking for their sake.

  "Young Brother, these peanuts can be stored for a long time and won't go bad." Lian Mian'er said, "Young Brother, how could you think that I don't know? These peanuts weren't grown by our family, but were given to me, my brother, sister, and Xiao Qi. We have some at home too, and we're not lacking in food either. Young Brother, this is a token of our goodwill, you must accept it."

  Wang Youheng thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I quite like this flavor, so I'll take it."

  "Little Brother Wang, I have this too, it's for you." Only then did Lian Wan'er hand over the bundle of cloth she had been holding in her arms to Wang Youheng.

  "Shoes, for me?" Wang Youheng took over the bundle and opened it, somewhat surprised.

  "Yes, try on the shoes first to see if they fit, Young Master." said Lian Man Er.

  Wang Youheng turned the shoes over and over, looking at them carefully. The satin surface of the shoes was made of high-quality satin, with embroidered auspicious clouds and good fortune characters on it. The sole was made of cloth with a thousand layers, and the stitches were extremely dense. Making such a pair of shoes requires a lot of effort. This is not just a pair of shoes, but a heavy-hearted gift.

  "I'll give it a try," said Wang Youheng, taking off his own shoes and putting on the new ones. He stood up on the shoes he had taken off and moved his feet around a bit.

  "It's just right." Wang Youheng smiled and said.

  Lian Man'er stood beside him and saw that the shoes were neither big nor small, just like they had been measured against Wang Youheng's feet.

  "That's good."

  "These shoes were made by... Lian Mian'er?" Wang Youheng sat back down and asked.

  Wang Youheng asked this question absolutely on purpose. Her body was only ten years old, okay? She had been here for less than half a year, and she had just learned to hold a needle.

  "You can laugh at me, Young Master." said Lian Man Er.

  "Haha." Wang Youheng couldn't help but laugh.

  "It was my sister who gave it to me, and I'll give it to Brother Youheng." Lian Man'er glanced at Wang Youheng's face, paused for a moment, and then said naturally, "It was made by my mother, Brother Youheng, you look good in it, I'll make two more pairs for you to wear."

  "This is great, I don't know how much work this pair of shoes took, when I have the chance, I will go thank Lian Si Sheng." Wang Youheng said.

  "You're being too straightforward, Young Master." Lian Man'er chatted with Wang Youheng for a while before standing up. "Young Master, you read your book, I still have to go to the market."

  Lian Man'er bid farewell to Wang Youheng and left Jisheng Hall, walking back to the market along the original road. She thought to herself, having been away for half a day, she didn't know how many more peanuts Wu Lang and the others had sold. Thinking this way, Lian Man'er quickened her pace, and from afar, she could already see the stall selling sugar and pastries.

  A crowd of people gathered around the stall next door.

  Isn't that where Wu Lang and his friends sell peanuts? What's going on?

  Lian Man'er hastily lifted her skirt and ran over quickly.

  "You little brat, don't you know how to show respect? Take your things, it's because Master Shen thinks highly of you."
