Chapter 512 Supervisor Xu Anyang
Sihai was holding Xu Yiyi's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Her little face was red from crying, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
A-Yue's lips twitched slightly: "That's enough! Your older sister's awake now, isn't she? She's been crying for so long, let's quiet down for a bit..."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Xu Yiyi.
"How are you? Still feeling unwell?"
Xu Yiyi slowly shook her head: "The fever has subsided, but I'm still very hungry."
Upon hearing this, A-Yue stepped forward and touched her forehead.
"Wow, it seems this Doctor He is quite skilled. You're cured after just one dose of herbal medicine."
"Is it possible that I am strong and healthy..." Xu Yiyi said calmly.
As she spoke, Xu Yiyi got out of bed.
I put on thick clothes, wrung out a cool towel, and applied it directly to my face.
The drowsiness in my mind vanished instantly.
"You're really ruthless."
A-Yue clicked her tongue as she watched Xu Yiyi wipe her face and neck with a cool towel.
She didn't say anything, and after washing up, she went straight to the kitchen.
A-Yue's cooking skills are not very good. The porridge she cooked in the morning was burnt and dry, and she couldn't even stir it.
"Why don't we go straight to town? You've just been sick, so have a good meal to help you recover," A-Yue said somewhat guiltily, hugging Wu Yuan.
Xiao Shen kept glancing at Xu Yiyi's expression, wondering how much water to put in when cooking porridge.
Moreover, when Sihai was tending the fire, he was so busy stuffing firewood into the stove that by the time she realized what was happening, the bottom of the pot was already burnt.
Xu Yiyi sighed softly.
"Let's go to town."
……
As they were talking, they realized they had already reached the riverbed.
A-Yue wanted to untie the rope, and then she handed Wu Yuan to her.
Xu Yiyi was about to reach out to hug him when she stopped.
"I'm still recovering from my illness, it's not good for me to hold him," Xu Yiyi hesitated.
He then took over the work from A-Yue, and after untying the rope, he carried Xueqiu up.
Sihai opened his arms, waiting for his older sister to hug him, but unexpectedly, he was kicked in the butt.
"Don't you even know how much you weigh? Are you sick or something?" A-Yue said irritably.
Sihai, who was kicked by his master, was not angry and just chuckled.
He jumped onto the boat in a flash.
"I'm used to it, An Yang always carries me when we get on the boat," the child muttered.
A-Yue frowned slightly. "I think we've spoiled you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she prepared to push the small boat out.
But they found that the boat swayed slightly and silently slid half a foot away.
She paused, then turned around.
They then discovered that Xu Yiyi, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, was pulling the oars out of the mud on the shore.
"I must say, you are indeed very strong and healthy."
He's sick, but he still has so much strength.
Xu Yiyi chuckled and rowed the small boat towards the town.
This illness came on quickly but went away just as fast, but it still caused Xu Anyang to get scolded again.
A few days after she recovered from her illness, she was about to do some work when Xu Anyang, who appeared out of nowhere, stopped her.
Like a personal overseer, he kept a close watch on her, preventing her from doing any heavy or strenuous work.
"Sister Yi, please just rest. I'm begging you to gain a couple more pounds..."
As Xu Anyang spoke, he bowed to Xu Yiyi.
She was so frightened that she immediately dodged away.
"I'm fine now, I was all better that day," Xu Yiyi said helplessly.
Xu Anyang, however, still covered his ears, meaning he wouldn't listen.
"Alright, I'll go do something else too."
As she spoke, Xu Yi called out to Sihai.
As she spoke, Xu Yi called over Sihai and turned to Xu Anyang, saying, "Keep an eye on the shop. Sihai and I are going out for a bit."
Xu Anyang wanted to say something more, but Xu Yiyi had already pulled Sihai away.
When A-Yue came out of the house, she saw Xu Anyang standing there dumbfounded, seemingly lost in thought.
"Are you stupid?" A-Yue said casually.
Holding dried fish in his hand, he planned to lure out Snowball, that big fat cat.
"Sister Yi took Sihai out," Xu Anyang said blankly.
A-Yue said nonchalantly, "Let her go. She's not a child anymore. Besides, she has important business to attend to. Didn't the grain shop get a new batch of grain yesterday? In addition to bringing some grain back to the restaurant, she also needs to deliver this month's grain to the clan."
Xu Anyang said "oh" and sat down next to A Yue.
……
The winter afternoon sun, as gentle as warm jade, lazily poured its rays onto the bluestone slabs in the courtyard.
The weather here is just so strange.
It's cloudy and sunny intermittently; sometimes it rains in the morning and the sun shines brightly in the afternoon.
It's very fickle.
Now that the sun is out, it doesn't feel so cold anymore.
Xu Anyang was wearing only a single layer of clothing. He sat cross-legged on a small stool with a low wooden table in front of him. He was fiddling with the beads on an abacus, making a clattering sound as he muttered to himself.
His brows furrowed into a small hill, and his fingers fumbled on the abacus beads, either moving them to the wrong position or missing a bead. Eventually, he got confused himself.
Xu Anyang sighed deeply, looking at the abacus in front of him with a sense of utter despair.
Under the eaves, A-Yue was leaning against a pillar, teasing a cat.
She held a glistening dried fish between her fingers, gave it a gentle shake, and Snowball immediately jumped up on tiptoe, its soft paws scratching at the air, making her eyes crinkle with amusement.
Glancing sideways at Xu Anyang's bitter and resentful expression, A-Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud, teasingly saying, "Oh, has he changed his ways? The mischievous monkey who used to run around whenever he had a spare moment is now actually able to sit down and learn to do accounts?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Anyang raised his head with a sullen face, his cheeks slightly puffed out, and pushed the abacus onto the table.
"Sister Yi said that after opening the new store, I will have to manage it myself, so she told me I must learn how to do accounting and bookkeeping properly, but..."
Xu Anyang paused for a moment, pointed at the abacus, and looked utterly dejected.
"This thing is too difficult; I can't seem to understand it no matter how hard I try."
As soon as she finished speaking, the kitten pounced at A-Yue's feet and snatched the dried fish from her hand. A-Yue smiled and kicked the kitten's butt, then looked at Xu Anyang with a smile in her eyes.
She then walked out from under the eaves.
"Is it really that difficult?" A-Yue asked with a hint of doubt.
Xu Anyang nodded sharply: "Difficult, extremely difficult."
Anyway, he couldn't figure it out.
A-Yue fiddled with the abacus beads, putting them back in place: "But when I watched Si-Hai do the accounting, her little hands moved quite quickly, as if it were very simple..."
Xu Anyang gave a soft snort.
"How can I compare to Sihai? In Mr. Xiang's words, Sihai is a gifted boy who can grasp things quickly and learns everything faster than others."
So, whether it's studying, practicing martial arts, or using an abacus...
Proficient in everything.
A-Yue pondered for a moment: "If it's really that difficult, then don't learn it... Don't make things difficult for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Xu Anyang seemed to be injected with adrenaline.
"That won't do. I'm going to be in charge of a business from now on."
After saying that, Xu Anyang continued to bury himself in his studies.
