Chapter 470: Chapter 85_3

Actually, Li Zhiyuan could sense that Liu Yumei was exceptionally adept at managing the household, because she indeed held the Qin Liu family’s reputation together during turbulent times, but such flattery was hard to give without reopening wounds.

Liu Yumei lowered her head, picked up a new cup to warm it, and asked,

"Would you like more tea?"

"No, I just had breakfast, and too much tea can hurt the stomach."

"Then you should go find Alii to play."

"Alright, Grandma."

Li Zhiyuan stood up, put the "Liu’s Qi Observation Technique" into his backpack, and walked out of the study.

"Hey, Xiao Yuan, why did you come out so soon?" Aunt Liu had just finished tidying up the kitchen and dining room.

"I’m a bit tired. Grandma Liu will continue teaching me tomorrow."

"Oh." Aunt Liu didn’t quite believe it, but still waved him over, "Come, and try on these clothes with me."

Li Zhiyuan was led by Aunt Liu into the guest room on the first floor to try on new clothes. There were four outfits—not old-fashioned, yet not overly flashy, fitting and elegant on him.

Moreover, each set of clothes came with a matching pair of shoes, as well as accessories like a watch, bracelet, and pendant.

"Aunt Liu..."

"I know, take the shoes and clothes with you, leave the rest here."

"Alright, Aunt Liu."

"How do they feel, fitting and comfortable?"

"Very fitting, Aunt Liu, your eyes are like a measuring tape."

"Hehe, just wear this set, leave the clothes and shoes you came in with, and I’ll clean them up for you to take next time."

"Thank you, Aunt Liu."

"Come, sit down, I’ll give you a haircut, it’s gotten a bit long."

Aunt Liu sat the boy down on the bed, tied a piece of white cloth around his neck, and picked up a comb and scissors.

"Aunt Liu, how is it you can do everything?"

"Well of course, I’ve looked after all the food, clothing, housing, and transportation for the elderly."

She proceeded with skillful and swift combing and cutting.

Aunt Liu held the boy’s head, gesturing for him to look at the wardrobe mirror.

"How does it look?"

"Your skills are excellent."

"It’s that you’ve got good foundations, as Li Juxiang mentioned, when your dad was brought back to the village by your mom, he was the ’cream-fresh young man’ you’d see on TV and in newspapers today."

Currently, ’cream-fresh young man’ referred to young men with fair complexion and a spirited look between their eyebrows.

"Hmm."

Li Zhiyuan responded, realizing he hadn’t seen his father for a long time. After the divorce with Li Lan, his father joined a geological research team and now must be quite rugged.

The divorce hit him hard; he seemed to be deliberately avoiding this family now, plus Grandpa Bei’s strict orders had kept him from visiting in recent years.

Li Zhiyuan didn’t blame him, instead, he understood. As the youngest son of Grandpa Bei and Grandma Bei, his father had always lived quite a smooth and stable life until he met Li Lan.

*He could still have fun stripping down each other’s facades with Li Lan, matching blow for blow;*

*His father had experienced the entire process of Li Lan’s deterioration to complete breakdown, enduring unthinkable psychological trauma.*

"By the way, Aunt Liu, I wanted to ask about a kind of costume and a fragrance..."

The costume had been taken as evidence by Tan Yunlong, so Li Zhiyuan could only describe it as best he could.

"It sounds like Ghost Sandalwood, similar to official head."

"Official head, why haven’t I heard of it?"

"Eight Generals?"

"I know that, originating from Fuzhou, the Eight Generals were tasked by the Five Fortune Prince’s office with capturing evil and exorcising ghosts."

"Official head originated from that, but as customs evolved in various places, there were changes."

"I understand."

In general, such customs would appear at local temple fairs, where participants painted faces, donned costumes, wielded magic artifacts, and led processions to exorcise evil and pray for blessings.

But that was just the outward form—for instance, at his own grandmaster’s tradition of corpse recovery diving, if they didn’t encounter a corpse, they would also perform religious fasting at funerals.

*Li Zhiyuan couldn’t help but recall the shock in the other party’s eyes last night when he repelled them using the Shock Skill.*

*Looking back now, it seemed they weren’t unfamiliar with such a special ability, but rather surprised that he could wield it.*

"Alright, go upstairs and find Alii, let Alii have a look."

"Then I’ll go up, Aunt Liu."

"Mmm, go, and I’ll pack the other three sets into your backpack."

Li Zhiyuan went upstairs. Just yesterday Liu Yumei had mentioned custom-making clothes for him, and today he was already wearing them. Clearly, the clothes had been prepared long before, indicating that the old lady had indeed been tense for a while.

Aunt Liu walked to the study, pushed the door open, and was surprised to see Liu Yumei gazing pensively at a drop of water on the coffee table.

"Oh dear, what’s happened to you, is teaching a child like Xiao Yuan that difficult, to make you worry so much?"

"Ah Ting, bring me some paper and a pen."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a difference. Back when you taught me and Ali, it was all hits and shouts, saying you’ve never seen kids as dumb as us. And now you’re even preparing lessons in advance to teach the child?"

"Hehe, I’m teaching him?" Liu Yumei chuckled helplessly, "It’s this boy who’s teaching me."

"Please don’t scare me."

"Why would I scare you, get me some paper and a pen. I need to revise Volume One."

Aunt Liu promptly brought the paper and pen, carefully grinding ink as she asked, "The kid just took it back for one night and it’s come to this?"

"The boy was about to show me the Second Volume, but I pretended to be tired, telling him to report back in a few days, fearing I wouldn’t be able to organize it all at once."

"Well then, comparing me and Ali, we really are as dumb as can be. But shouldn’t you be happy? I know your mind; there’s no way you’d be saddened by a younger generation being overly exceptional."
