At this time, the few rooms had become empty. Li Yuping took two large planks of wood from his house and made the other two rooms his bed.

Madam Qian brought some clean blankets and spread them on two boards. The other bed was also covered by some sheets, and after laying the three blankets Xia Li bought for him, it looked a little bit like a bed.

Seeing that the two were busy, Xia Li immediately went to express his gratitude.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, thank you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have had a place to sleep."

"Xia Li, you're too polite. Your family finally has a place to stay, and I can take a good rest tonight. I feel a bit more at ease.

When Li Yushan said this, his face was full of embarrassment.

"Exactly!"

Madam Qian also agreed with her, but her gaze was glued to Xia Li's arm as she continued to ponder.

Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Little Shuang is helping us cook dinner. In a while, you guys will stay and eat dinner with us. You guys are busy doing all sorts of things for us.

"Forget it, living your own life is already very difficult, we will not eat, Xia Li, sorry, Little Shuang, I will also take her away first."

As Li Yuping spoke, he pulled up Madam Qian who was in a daze, he politely nodded towards Sun Chun, then went to the kitchen to bring Li Xiaoshuang who was still feeling depressed out.

Xia Li wanted to stop him but it was already too late.

Li Yuping never procrastinated, when it came to helping her, he never spoke of it. He spoke of his family, when he spoke of leaving, he simply pulled the wooden carriage, and brought his wife and daughter back home. He did not cause her any problems, but it did move Xia Li a lot.

Xia Li was deeply moved in his heart. Li Yushan and Li Yuping, these two uncles of his, today's actions had truly formed a stark contrast.

When Xia Li came back to his senses, he was already asleep on the bed. It was obvious that he was exhausted, but when she tried to approach him, Sun Chun opened his eyes in a flash, scaring her out of her wits.

"I'm very tired and want to rest. Don't disturb me for the time being."

After Sun Chun finished speaking, he closed his eyes once again and sank into deep sleep.

Xia Li squatted down, and carefully sized up the man in front of her. He was always on guard, his eyebrows were deeply knitted together, and he was extremely anxious. His entire person was like a piece of ice, cold and hard, making people unable to see through him.

Xia Li was worried about the food in the kitchen and ran over. The firewood in the kitchen was almost extinguished, she immediately added a few more pieces of wood, and when she removed the lid, the rice and soup were already full of foam.

Xia Qing was probably starving. After smelling the fragrance of the rice, he jogged all the way to the kitchen. Lee's was weak and slowly walked behind him with red eyes.

"Elder sister, I'm hungry."

Xia Qing held Xia Li's hand, and stared at the rice soup in the pot, saliva flowing out of his mouth, his small body emitting a sense of excitement.

Xia Qing, stand still.

Xia Li looked at the kitchen. Other than the stove, dried wood and the vegetable baskets on the floor, there was no other place for them to eat. That was to say, they could only stand beside the stove to eat.

Xia Li could not bear to see this, so he lowered his head and piled up all the firewood in the kitchen. He helped Lee's sit on the pile of firewood and extinguished the fire in the stove. Then, he found a clean cloth to wipe his face and hands clean for Lee's.

Xia Li lifted the lid of the pot and brought out the dishes. Then, he took out three bowls to scoop up some rice and placed some of the dishes in the pot for Sun Chun.

"Elder sister, I want to eat rice!"

As Xia Qing spoke, he moved to grab the bowl of rice and his eyes were tightly staring at the rice.

"No matter how hungry you are, you have to follow the rules. Otherwise, you'll starve."

After saying that, Xia Li's face turned serious, and he immediately scared Xia Qing.

"I dare not, sister."

Xia Qing hid her hands behind her back and looked at the rice in a pitiful manner. He looked at Lee's and then looked at Xia Li.

"Daughter, your little brother wants to eat, so just give it to him. When a child grows up, he will become sensible."

Lee's was too used to pampering his children, so he couldn't bear to see Xia Qing getting wronged.

Mom, your little brother isn't young anymore. He is already five years old and must be disciplined. Otherwise, if you go out, others will laugh at you.

As Xia Li said that, he pulled Xia Qing to the side of the stove, and poured a small bowl of rice soup, which had been cooling down for a while, and gave it to him.

"Speak, thank you big sister."

"Thank you elder sister."

Xia Qing retracted his neck, and was somewhat afraid of Xia Li. He took another glance at her, then reached out and hugged the bowl, not daring to drink.

"Drink it."

Xia Qing trembled as he took a small gulp. In the time it took Xia Li to turn around, he took small steps while carrying the bowl to the side of Lee's. After bringing half a bowl of soup to him, he also scooped up some dishes and placed them in the bowl before placing it in the Lee's's hands.
