Li Qingling leaned against Liu Zhimo's chest. This chest was not considered thick, but at this moment, it gave her a sense of security.

She had been holding on so that she wouldn't collapse. Once she did, the smaller family members would have a harder time.

However, she was also a person. Sometimes, when she encountered these things, she would feel really tired.

She would rather go into the forest and fight with her prey than scheming against him.

Liu Zhimo patted Li Qingling's back lightly, his heart feeling sorry for this family. If it wasn't for them, she wouldn't be like a soldier facing the storm outside.

Every time he saw her raise all the spikes on her body to deal with someone who wanted to bully them, he felt that he was useless and couldn't help her even if he wanted to.

"I'm sorry, but if I were stronger, you wouldn't have to work so hard." His voice was a little hoarse, and he felt really bad when he saw her shoulders sagging. "I … Is it useless? Nothing can help you. "

Li Qingling heard the self-blame in his tone and she gently shook her head. Her voice transmitted from his chest, "How could that be? If not for you, I wouldn't be by myself right now. " It was because of him accompanying her that she was able to straighten her back and walk forward without fear.

"But other than helping you set up your stall, I can't help you with anything else." It was just like what happened just now. He could do nothing but stand behind her and support her. He had to rely on her for everything. This feeling made him feel extremely helpless.

patted Liu Zhimo's back, looking up, he said seriously, "No, you really helped me out a lot, like the children at home, they were all taught by you. You should know, raising children is easy, but teaching them is the most difficult. Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Don't belittle yourself. You are better than you think you are and are also my spiritual support. Really, without you, it would be really hard for me to continue. These are my heartfelt words."

Perhaps in the beginning, when she saw that Liu Zhimo was her fiancé, she would think of helping him, but slowly, she would instead rely on him.

He really was the spiritual backbone of the family, and if he fell, then so would the family spirit.

Hearing that, Liu Zhimo went silent, his eyebrows knitted, quietly thinking about what Li Qingling had said to him.

Li Qingling did not disturb him. She gently let go of his waist and wanted to leave his embrace, but his hands were still tightly hugging her waist.

Since she couldn't interrupt his thoughts, she could only lean back against his chest and quietly listen to his heartbeat.

Slowly, she calmed down as well.

She really wanted to exclaim, "It's so good to have him."

After a long while, Liu Zhimo finally started laughing softly. Seriously, he got into a dead end, and before he could think of this, he was already worse than Li Qingling!

"Thank you!" Thank you so much. If it weren't for her, his family wouldn't be able to live such a life.

He swore in his heart that in this lifetime, he would not let her down.

Li Qingling laughed without care: "Why are you being polite to me?" She patted Liu Zhimo's hands, "Alright, let go of me, I need to cook." If a few of the younger members of the family saw this, they would definitely laugh at her from the back.

As if he was electrocuted, Liu Zhimo suddenly retracted his hand. He turned around and escaped from the kitchen as if he was fleeing for his life.

Li Qingling laughed lightly. She truly felt that Liu Zhimo was very embarrassed, a little teasing would easily cause her face to flush red.

She lightly hummed a song and happily went to prepare some rice. Today's business was equally good, so they bought some meat to nourish the family.

Only when nutrition was close enough could children grow up faster.

Having eaten well in this period of time, the children at home were totally different from the thin and pale-looking ones from before.

As soon as they left the village, one of the villagers couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. How many children did their family have that looked good?

Listening to the song coming from the kitchen, Liu Zhimo's mouth also raised, with a smile in his eyes, he walked in quickly.

There was no one in the hall. He turned his heel and entered the room.

All four children were asleep, head to head, very close.

Liu Zhimo walked over quietly and helped the children to twist their blankets.

The reason he worked so hard with Li Qingling was so that they could live a better life and happily grow up.

"Big brother …" Just as Liu Zhimo was about to leave, Liu Zhiyan woke up. When he saw him, he shouted, "Are you alright?" He rubbed his head and gently sat up. He had just been coaxing his sister to sleep, how did he fall asleep himself?

Liu Zhimo reached out and picked Liu Zhiyan up, allowing him to sit on the bed and wear his shoes.

"I'm fine." He touched Liu Zhiyan's head, "Did you scare him?"

There were no adults in the house, and he and Li Qingling were not home either. There were only a few children in the house, so if someone came to cause trouble, they would probably be scared.

Liu Zhiyan stuck out his small chest and said: "I wasn't scared." Being stared at by Liu Zhimo made his lower his head in embarrassment, "At the beginning, it was a little bit, but after that, my sister cried from fright, so I'm not afraid. As my brother, I'm more afraid.

He reached out to rub Liu Zhiyan's head, and Liu Zhimo praised him, "Not bad, you have an example as big brother." If his brother stood up, he would be able to do something else.

Being praised again, Liu Zhiyan grinned and laughed.

"Have you finished writing today's big words?"

Hearing that, the corner of his mouth drooped down, Liu Zhiyan scratched his head, "I will write it right now." It was all the fault of those people that when they came up to create a ruckus, he did not even finish writing the big words for today. He turned around in the blink of an eye and reached out his hand to push Li Qingfeng.

Li Qingfeng woke up in a daze, he rubbed his eyes, "What's wrong?" He was tired, why did he wake him up?

Liu Zhiyan laughed, and pointed at Liu Zhimo, "Big brother is asking you, are you done writing your words?" If I don't finish writing, I won't be able to eat dinner tonight. Big Bro is very strict.

Hearing the word big, Li Qingfeng instantly woke up. He crawled out of bed in a fluster, "Right now, right now …" If he didn't have dinner, it would take his life.

Li Qingfeng held Liu Zhiyan's hand and quickly walked out of the room. He sat in his own seat, took out the brush, ink and paper, and continued writing the big words that he had not finished yet.

Liu Zhimo nodded his head in gratitude, he turned and walked out of the hall and headed to the kitchen.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Qingling raised her head and looked at Liu Zhimo, and raised his eyebrows, "You're not shy, are you not avoiding me?" Did she think he was afraid to see her until dinner?

This time, he recovered quite quickly.

Being teased by her like that, Liu Zhimo cleared his throat, extended his hand and grabbed the kitchen knife in Li Qingling's hand, he was going to cut the vegetables.

In their house, no gentleman was far from the kitchen.

She laughed silently and sat on the stool to light the fire.

With his help, the dinner was cooked rather quickly. The Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, Red Braised Fish, and a small dish. These three dishes could be considered quite sumptuous.

If the villagers knew that their family's dishes were so good, what would they do about it?

For this matter, she and Liu Zhimo had warned a few of the younger ones in the family not to tell anyone about it.

Keep a low profile... Their family had no adults, so they had to keep a low profile.

"These few days, there are fifty egg cake every day. Should we add some tomorrow?" After the meal, Liu Zhimo asked as he cleaned up the dishes.

Li Qingling thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's add another thirty, look at the eighty egg cake, how long does it take to sell them all?" If it was sold later, then it would still be fifty, so they could have come back earlier.

"Sure …"

The next day, Li Qingling, you two just went to the town together, and before you even started setting up your stall, the owner of the Fumanlou came.

Li Qingling was a little surprised in her heart, but she still carried a smile on her face, "storekeeper uncle, why are you here?" Seeing him looking at the mold in her hand, she continued: "You want to eat egg cake s? "Then we'll have to wait a while." She was speeding up her pace and setting up the stall.

The manager spoke up, "Little girl, how about cooperating with you?" He had eaten this egg cake before, and it was indeed not bad. In his heart, he wanted to buy this egg cake.

Cooperation? Could it be that he had his eyes on her egg cake?

Li Qingling was ecstatic, but she did not show it on her face. She stood up and smiled, "storekeeper uncle, I am afraid it is not convenient here. She pointed to a tea shop not far away.

"There's no need to go through all that trouble, just go straight to the Fumanlou!"

"Alright then …"

Li Qingling was not an ink man, she exchanged a glance with Liu Zhimo and quickly packed up his things as well. Carrying his things, she followed the shopkeeper to Fumanlou.

Seated in the private room, Li Qingling slowly drank a mouthful of tea, but she was not in a hurry to speak either.

The shopkeeper looked at Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo, and praised them in his heart. The two children were young, but they were actually quite calm and collected.

He cleared his throat, "Little girl, how much is the recipe of your egg cake?"

He also wanted to buy the formula...

Li Qingling lowered her eyes and she slowly drank another mouthful of tea as she looked towards Liu Zhimo, allowing him to speak.

She had her concerns. She was a girl, and since she was still young, she could still make a name for herself. When she grew up in the future, it wouldn't be so convenient.

It would be better to let Liu Zhimo come out of hiding, and let others know that he was the one who made the decision.

Liu Zhimo muttered to himself for a bit, then laughed at the shopkeeper: "I am sorry, but our family's formula is not for sale." This egg cake business is good, if I continue working here, it would be more valuable than selling formulas, "If shopkeeper really wants to cooperate, then we can talk about the split, what about that?"

Fortunately Li Qingling had discussed this issue with him earlier, if not, he would not have been able to be so calm.
