“Yanzhi, could you help your aunt hand out things?” After Lin Zige and Lin Changting had left the house, Lin Ziyin saw the little lad with his big eyes fixated on her, so she smiled and coaxed him, “Without your help, I won’t be able to get anything done today.”

“Help.” Lin Yanzhi answered with a vigorous nod of his head.

“Great, let’s first plane these wooden slats smoothly.” Lin Ziyin picked up the plane and started working.

What she had to make were the tofu boards used for pressing the soy milk, and the racks, the work was not too much.

“Pretty.” Lin Yanzhi was distracted by the wood shavings scattered on the ground instead.

“Yanzhi, you can collect these wood shavings in the basket. We’ll use it when cooking at noon. It’s excellent for starting a fire.” Lin Ziyin coaxed the little lad with a smile. “When Aunt Guo sees this, she would definitely praise our capable Yanzhi.”

“Alright.” The little lad loved being praised. Upon hearing Ziyin’s words, he immediately hurried over with the basket, diligently gathered all the wood shavings, and then transferred them to the kitchen.

The aunt and nephew duo were having a great time together.

When Lin Zige came back, she saw Lin Yanzhi working up a sweat, busying around like a little mouse. Meanwhile, there was already an extra rack and tofu board in the yard.

“What are these?” Lin Zige looked at the rack with confusion on her face and turned her gaze toward Lin Ziyin.

“We’ll use them tomorrow.” Lin Ziyin responded with a smile.

“Yanzhi made these.” Lin Yanzhi took credit for the work.

“Very good, well done.” Seeing that Lin Ziyin was not willing to speak more on the issue, Lin Zige gave up her inquiries and complimented the little lad lowly, then grabbed a basket and headed into the kitchen to clean up the wild vegetables she had dug up.

Lin Yanzhi was elated to receive praise; his cheeks turned rosy in his excitement.

“I will pick the soybeans.” Lin Ziyin put down the tools and then brought out the soybeans from the winnowing tray, ready to select and clear the beans. The most crucial ingredient in tofu making, aside from good water quality, is the soybeans, and she didn’t dare to be careless. “Yanzhi, come over here and help your aunt.”

“Alright.” The little lad ran over, his face still flushed with excitement.

“Look carefully at the sleight of hand your aunt is about to perform. If you see any dirty or bad soybeans, help your aunt to pick them out.” Lin Ziyin said. The so-called picking was merely letting the soybeans roll off a little wooden plank, those that could roll off naturally, were good and plump beans.

Lin Yanzhi obediently kept his eyes wide open, and when he spotted a bad bean rolling down among the others, he immediately reached out his little hand to remove the unwanted item.

By noon, Lin Changshu and the others had returned, and several villagers from the village had also come to visit.

“We have been busy working in the fields and didn’t get a chance to visit Ziyin.” One of the aunties handed over three eggs, “for Ziyin to replenish her body.”

“Auntie, how can this be? You have brought things over countless of times. Your life isn’t easy either. Since Ziyin is already recovering, we really can’t accept these eggs.” Lin Changshu declined.

“It’s only a few eggs.” The woman said with a laugh.

“I heard Ziyin has memory loss?” An older woman asked.

“The master said that she had hit her head and has a hematoma in her brain. It’s normal for her not to remember things temporarily.” Guo Huiniang didn’t want to dwell on this topic for too long, but she was worried that Lin Ziyin might offend someone by saying something wrong since she didn’t recognize them.

“We farmers, if she can’t remember, she can’t remember. After all, it’s just trivial matters. It’s not like she hurt her limbs and can’t move. If she’s worried about encountering people she doesn’t know, there’s a simple solution. Just take more walks around the village, and she’ll recognize everyone in time.” Sister Bai came over and spoke with laughter.
