may be anxiously looking for you, though! Alas, I’m helpless about it.
Our village can’t be compared to the city—all the facilities here are rather outdated…”

“It doesn’t matter.
I’ll have to trouble you for today, though!” He gave the farmer an elegant smile in appreciation.

The latter was startled and touched by his response.
He appeared to be a little restrained as he rubbed his hands, laughing dryly.
“Are you hungry?”

“No, I’ve just eaten a few slices of the taro cake.”

“Oh! Would you like to eat a few more slices?” The man’s enthusiasm was simply too overwhelming for the boy to handle!

“Oh! Would you like some water?”

“Yup.
Thanks, uncle!” replied the boy sweetly.

The farmer was simply bursting with joy when he heard this.

Youyou was unlike those village kids who were wild and rude.
Being merely a seven-year-old child, the boy knew his manners; the way he called him ‘uncle’ melted his heart.

From their conversation, he learned that the man’s name was Zhao Xiangjun.
He was an ordinary farmer in the village, owning a few acres of land behind his house, which were planted with wheat and vegetables.
Being slightly skilled in hunting, he would hunt for some game in the forest in his leisure time.
Sometimes, when he was lucky, he would catch some deer.
He would then tear off the deer’s skin and sell it in a marketplace, often for a good price.
He basically did not have to worry about the month’s expenses then.

Their life was rather calm and relax.

His wife, Li Ru, was a typical peasant woman with dark, rough skin and a loud voice but was also hospitable and honest.

It was afternoon now.

The sun outside was getting hotter.

Youyou got off the bed to move around.
