At the beginning, he took his seven younger siblings to join Yi Zhonghai.

After playing with Zhongxin Zhongyan.

Zhong Ren, Zhong Min, Zhong Yao, and Zhong Miao will naturally not be left out.

Even Zhonghua would be invited by Yi Zhongding to ride around.

No one can be left behind.

Zhongyao has always been loud and boisterous, so it's not surprising that he likes to have fun.

Zhong Miao, on the other hand, has a personality that is as still as a virgin and as swift as a rabbit.

This little girl is always so quiet.

But he gets more excited about this than anyone else.

"Miaomiao loves playing this game. You guys should play with her more often. Sometimes this girl is so quiet it scares me."

Looking at Miao Miao's cheerful little face, Tan Xiulian said with heartache.

"Sister-in-law, these two girls are almost 70 pounds each. How many more times can my brother and I have such weak backs?"

Yi Zhongding said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I see you're very strong and healthy. You can carry two or three hundred pounds of wood and run. How heavy can it be for you to carry a little sister?"

Tan Xiulian said with a laugh.

"Hmm, she's not heavy at all. She needs to eat more. It's good for girls to be a little chubby; they're strong and healthy."

Yi Zhongding smiled and echoed.

"Brother, please stop talking. You're panting heavily."

Yi Zhongding rolled his eyes.

If it weren't for your idleness and the fact that you taught them how to ride horses...

Would we be where we are today?

I have to play it every day.

Just don't complain of back pain for a while.

"Oh dear, I'm really tired. I'm getting old, I can't keep up anymore. Yao Yao, come down and let your older brother rest for a while, okay?"

Yi Zhonghai hadn't felt it before, but now that it's been mentioned, he feels tired. He turned his head and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Okay, then we won't play anymore."

Yao Yao was quite sensible and nodded obediently.

Miaomiao follows the same old rules.

Without saying a word, he slid down.

She would even reach out her little hands to rub her older brother's back, asking in a clear, sweet voice, "Big brother, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. If Miaomiao kisses me, it won't hurt at all."

Looking at his younger sister's adorable appearance, Yi Zhongding felt that no amount of pampering was enough.

"MUA"

After kissing him, Miaomiao smiled sweetly at him.

"Good girl."

Yi Zhongding gently patted her head.

The other children also took turns kissing him and his older brother on the forehead.

Tan Xiulian was a little jealous, so she teased them and asked them to kiss her too.

In the end, he naturally received a "reward".

"You can't deny getting old. When I was young, I could hoe two or three acres of land a day in the sweltering summer. Now, I get tired after carrying a few kids for a short while."

Yi Zhonghai gulped down a bellyful of tea before speaking, panting.

There were no pesticides or chemical fertilizers in those days.

Farmers rely entirely on the weather for their crops.

Hoeing is also a skill.

It's not about seeking comfort on a shady day.

Instead, they had to hoe the fields during the hottest days of summer.

This way, the weeds that are turned over can be completely dried out by the sun.

The hottest days of summer.

The most important farm work is weeding and clearing the land.

This is what is meant by "feet steamed by the hot earth, back scorched by the blazing sun; exhausted but unaware of the heat, only regretting the long summer day."

"Now I understand, children make us age faster. I'll rub you with some medicinal wine in a bit."

Tan Xiulian looked at the children and sighed with a smile.

"No need, I'll do it. I'm young and strong, and my old Taoist master taught me how to perform acupressure."

Yi Zhongding stood up and went inside to get the medicinal wine.

Yi Zhonghai reclined his chair and lay down, waiting.

"Mmm, that feels good. Ding Ya Zi is great. Why didn't you give us a massage before?"

Yi Zhonghai comfortably closed his eyes and began to enjoy himself.

"I played with them for too long today, and you looked so tired. I was worried about your back, so I just tried it out. I'm still a beginner."

Yi Zhongding said with a smile.

"With this kind of comfortable feeling, I could make a lot of money opening a restaurant."

Yi Zhonghai hummed in agreement.

"You old fool, you're always talking nonsense. Dingya is a bookworm; he'll go to university and become a leader someday."

"Now that you've made your fortune, you should be secretly happy. Don't be greedy."

Tan Xiulian laughed and scolded from the side.

"Sister-in-law, since my brother agrees, why don't you give it a try later?"

Yi Zhongding turned his head and said.

"I'll pass, I didn't do any heavy work, why would I press anything?"

Tan Xiulian said embarrassedly upon hearing this.

"Of course you're doing it! You stand there washing so many clothes every day, and you also have to cook and do housework. You're busy both inside and outside the house."

Yi Zhongding retorted.

"Sister-in-law, your brother is just being filial, so don't refuse. Give him a massage later, so you won't feel bad for us."

Yi Zhonghai chimed in from the side.

"It's not like you did the work and didn't lose out, so it's also because Ding Yazi didn't lose out on me."

Tan Xiulian said irritably.

"They're all the same, they're all the same."

Yi Zhonghai chuckled awkwardly.

"Brother, sister-in-law hasn't treated us badly either. It's just what we should do."

Yi Zhongding said with a smile.

He felt the warmth and happiness of being with this big family.

A warm feeling welled up inside me.

That's good.

It took almost half an hour to massage both Yi Zhonghai and the other person.

They both fell asleep after I massaged them comfortably.

I had to wake them both up and send them back to their room to sleep.

After Yi Zhonghai had put his younger siblings to sleep, he...

He lay down on the recliner and picked up a rare book on traditional Chinese medicine that he had bought from a bookstall in the Dongsi People's Market to read.

He plans to solidify his foundation in traditional Chinese medicine during his three years of high school.

After getting into university, I'll find a renowned doctor to mentor me.

After graduation, you can use your connections to treat patients.

Thinking about it that way...

He pondered that he was the true believer in the ways of the world.

Go to school safely and peacefully.

I'll be a carpenter honestly.

If it were any other time traveler...

More than half a year.

He's probably living a carefree life now, known as a miracle doctor, "training poultry, fishing, hunting, and making aphrodisiacs."

The detached courtyard houses have also been built.

The restrooms and toilets are also fully equipped.

We also ate meat in different ways.

And his older brother.

Those with a straightforward personality would have been shot.

If you encounter someone with a bad temper, they'll break your leg or arm every day.

If he happens to meet someone who enjoys having fun, he can also let him experience the wonderful figure of his apprentice's wife.

He was already infamous and disgraced.

More than an hour passed just like that.

Tan Xiulian came out of the house first and asked him, "Dingya, you've been busy all morning, didn't you take a nap?"

"My sister-in-law is awake. I'm not sleepy. I'll take advantage of the kids being quiet and read a book."

Yi Zhongding turned around and said with a smile.

"You're such a thoughtful child. Are you hungry? There's corn in the kitchen. I'll get you a cob to tide you over."

Tan Xiulian walked to his side and said gently.

"I'm not hungry. It's only this late, and it's so hot outside. Where are you going, sister-in-law?"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yi Zhongding asked.

"I'll go to the Jia family across the street and borrow their sewing machine. My younger siblings' clothes wear out quickly, so I can mend them."

Tan Xiulian said as she opened the door.

She picked up a basket under the eaves and walked towards the Jia family's house.

After knocking on the door.

He was ushered inside amidst Qin Huairu's ingratiating smile.

I could still faintly hear Jia Dongxu's enthusiastic greeting.
