Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Visitors from Mom’s Home

At the moment, Zhang Yun was playing with YingEr, holding two candies. Hearing Liu Sisi’s question, a look of embarrassment at being caught flashed across his face.

He quickly handed the candies to YingEr before turning back to look at Di Xuan and then shaking his head with a face of confusion, “Actually, I was very curious too. At the time, when Xuan’er passed the test, the old gentleman asked my name and asked why I participated in the test. After thinking, I just answered truthfully.”

“What did you say?” Liu Sisi asked curiously.

As Zhang Yun spoke, several people gathered around to listen to his answer.

Zhang Yun looked at Di Xuan with some embarrassment, “I didn’t say anything, I just said that because Xuan’er participated, I participated. I want to protect Xuan’er and never let him suffer!”

“Just like that? And he let you pass?”

Liu Sisi was a bit incredulous.

“No! He then came closer and felt the muscles on my arms. He must have thought that my muscles were a lot, so he nodded his head and then let me pass!”

It was clear that Zhang Yun was very happy.

“Why did he feel your muscles? Was it to feel your bones?”

On the contrary, Di Ye Lei raised another idea.

Zhang Peng also scratched his head, “This… Shouldn’t it? Going to village school and feeling bones? This is the first time I’ve heard someone say that.”

Di Ye Lei was also a bit hesitant, “I used to hear about it when I went out to do odd jobs for others. Some people can judge a person’s honor and fortune by feeling their bones, as well as their future fortune. I don’t know if it’s true?”

“So you mean…”

Liu Sisi swallowed her saliva, “Elder Mr. Xu can judge a person’s fortune and choose students by feeling their bones? That can’t be right?”

“This… I don’t know, after all, no one knows the purpose of his actions!” Di Ye Lei hesitated as he spoke.

Everyone stared at each other, unable to figure it out, they could only let it be.

The next day, as Di Ye Lei was busy making the last small lantern, there was a barking sound at the entrance.

“Old Cheng, Old Cheng!”

Di Ye Lei yelled twice, but didn’t hear Old Cheng’s reply. So he got up to open the door himself.

Liu Sisi, who had just finished coaxing Da Mao to take a nap, also poked her head out from the room, “I asked Old Cheng to send some preserved tofu to Land Officer’s home, he should not be back yet. Who’s here?”

This preserved tofu was made from the leftover tofu from before the year. Liu Sisi had squeezed it out in her spare time.

At that time, since there were two families to eat, Liu Sisi made so much tofu. Because there were no containers, she wrapped them in filter cloth and put them in one corner of the large water tank. After eating all kinds of meat for the year, there was still a lot of tofu left. Two days ago, when they opened the bottom ones, they found mold on the top. Seeing that there were so many moldy tofu left, it was a pity to throw them away, so Liu Sisi had a bright idea and decided to make preserved tofu.

That’s why she was busy this morning and happened to be seen by Land Officer’s wife who was visiting. Smelling the fragrant seasonings, the woman couldn’t help but drool, and Liu Sisi offered to give her a jar.

So after sealing all the preserved tofu, she left a small jar and asked Old Cheng to send it to Land Officer’s wife.

As Liu Sisi asked, she looked towards the entrance to see who had come.
