A boy dressed in a gray short-sleeved shirt quickly ran over, saying as he approached, "Qingxi, I've been looking for you for a while. Why weren't you at home?"
"Anan, it's you! You're back! I went out with my sister to help Uncle Sanyou fix his house!" Liu Qingyan excitedly shared the day's achievements with his friend.
He stood proudly, saying, "My sister is amazing; she can help people fix houses!"
Anan found it somewhat amusing but didn't want to dampen the kid's confidence. "Really? Did you help out? Can you do that?"
"Hehe! I can't do it, but I helped! I passed things to Aunt!" This was Liu Qingyan's proud moment; he felt useful and helpful!
"Not bad, not bad. Keep up the good work!" Anan encouraged him by patting Liu Qingyan's head.
Liu Qingxi waited for the two to finish talking before asking, "Anan, what did you want to see me about?"
"Oh, Qingxi, you don't know. After seeing you two in town yesterday, my young master couldn't stop worrying. So early this morning, he said goodbye to Sir and Madam and came back!
As soon as he returned, he sent me to find you. After asking around the village, I found out you lived here. Who knew no one was home? Luckily, I saw you here!"
"Oh, thank you for your concern. My brother and I are doing well. Come on, let me invite you to my house!"
Liu Qingxi suddenly froze. When did she start using the word "home" so naturally?
It felt like everything was very distant from her; perhaps having Liu Qingyan as a brother made her experience a long-lost sense of family, and the word "home" naturally entered her heart.
"Qingxi, what are you thinking about?" Anan waved his hand to remind her after noticing she was lost in thought.
"Ah? Oh!" Liu Qingxi jolted back to reality. "Sorry, I was just daydreaming. Let's go home!" She led the way.
It wasn't far; they arrived in just a few steps.
"My home is simple; there's not much here. Let me boil some water for you!"
Liu Qingxi rolled up her sleeves and was about to get busy when Anan stopped her, saying, "No need, no need. I'm not thirsty; I'm just here on behalf of the young master to ask if you need any help."
"Actually, we don't need anything. Don't worry, we're doing well. We even found some work today, and I believe we'll earn some silver soon!" Liu Qingxi said confidently.
Anan looked a bit skeptical. "Is it really just helping others fix their houses? Can you handle that?"
"Why not? I may not be able to do heavy labor, but I have other ways! I can direct others to do the work. You shouldn't doubt me!" It was one thing for others to question her, but she didn't expect her friend Anan to do the same.
Anan quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no! I didn't mean it like that; I was just saying it casually! Don't take it to heart. I believe you can definitely manage!"
When he first met Liu Qingxi, she was still a girl in tattered clothes. He had heard about the difficulties from the Wang family; the rumors were not unfounded.
But Liu Qingxi had managed to live well with her brother, which showed she truly had skills!
"Alright, alright! I was just joking with you. But you know, we just moved out recently and have been quite busy, so we haven't had time to visit you. Please send my regards to your young master!"
Liu Qingxi was just teasing Anan because she saw him as a straightforward young man.
"Don't worry; I'll definitely pass on your message. My young master would have helped you if we were around these past few days!"
After all, being driven out of one's home was a serious punishment in this era. No matter the circumstances, people were reluctant to leave their families.
Especially for Liu Qingxi and Liu Qingyan, who had left the Liu family; they were just two children without elders to manage things, making many situations quite troublesome.
Regardless of the family's strength, even with internal conflicts, as long as they had a home, others wouldn't dare to bully them easily.
Liu Qingxi understood these people's thoughts well; she had heard similar sentiments countless times and quickly refused, "Actually, it's fine as it is!"
Her true feelings were: Being driven out was just perfect for me!
"Alright then!" Anan thought Liu Qingxi was upset and unwilling to discuss further, so he dropped the subject.
"Alright, Qingxi, I've seen you all. I'm heading back to report to the Young Master now. If you need anything, remember to find us!"
"Got it, Anan. Take your time on the way back. I'll invite you all over for dinner sometime!" Liu Qingxi wanted to return the favor for Yang Yichen's earlier help.
It's worth noting that Yang Yichen's family had sent them cow dung and provided food and drinks; she remembered all the kindness they had shown.
Previously, she didn't have the chance while at the Liu Family, but now that she was in charge, she could do as she pleased!
Meanwhile, after leaving, Anan headed straight back to the Yang Family Courtyard.
Yang Yichen had been waiting: "Why are you so slow? It was just a trip to the Village!"
Anan took a breath, panting: "Young Master, you don't know..."
And so she recounted how she found Liu Qingxi and everything that happened along the way.
Yang Yichen's expression softened: "Since Qingxi and her brother are doing well now, I can rest easy!"
Suddenly, Anan realized something and stared at Yang Yichen's face: "Hey? Young Master, why are you being so nice to Qingxi? I haven't seen you treat any other girl this well before!"
Yang Yichen's face turned red up to his neck: "What are you talking about? I'm just helping them because their lives aren't easy. What's wrong with that?"
He then waved his sleeve and left, returning to his study where he picked up a book from the table, pretending to read seriously.
Anan rolled her eyes, thinking, "The Young Master is really bad at pretending; he's holding the book upside down!"
She chuckled softly and walked away.
However, before she could reach the backyard, she heard someone calling for her.
Alright, Anan recognized that voice; it was none other than her Young Master coming out.
"Young Master, do you have any other matters to attend to?"
"Um, well..."
"Young Master, just say it directly!" Anan said anxiously, noticing his hesitation.
"Alright!" Yang Yichen gathered his courage. "Aren't you going to help others repair their houses? How about we join in and help?"
"What???" Anan exclaimed in surprise. "Young Master, do you know how to repair houses?"
"No, I don't!"
"Exactly! I don't know either. What are we going to do there?" Wouldn't we just be a hindrance? After all, their Young Master had been carefully raised and had never done any work!
"That's fine; we can learn. If we don't know something, we can ask. In any case, we're going to help!" Thus, the decision was made by Yang Yichen.
As a servant, Anan had no choice but to obey the order.
And then, on a certain morning not long after, Liu Qingxi opened the door to go out and saw two young boys standing at the front of their house.
