Why did you provoke me?

Li Yiqing thought of Jiang Mingfeng. That kid really liked Dali, otherwise he wouldn't have been so silly, always hanging around Dali.

He thought about Yu Meng again; she was a cold-hearted person, and no one could guess what she would do. He also realized that Yu Meng was very good to her eldest sister and was paving the way for Dali in many ways.

Li Yiqing shivered. No, he had to remind his aunt so they could be prepared.

Yu Meng returned home that evening, and her parents finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dali, Xiaosi, come and eat. I specially stewed a chicken today," Aunt Yu said happily.

"Mom, two people are coming tomorrow. Their parents have some business to attend to and want to stay at our house for a while. They'll pay for their meals, and I've agreed," Yu Meng said while munching on a chicken leg.

"Oh, is it a boy or a girl?" Dad asked curiously.

Yu Meng paused for a moment, then said, "I forgot to ask."

Aunt Yu tapped Yu Meng's head, "Such a smart head, how could you forget about this?"

"Mom, I ordered a batch of materials in the city. Once they arrive, I'll make a call bell for you and Dad so we can contact each other no matter where I go," Yu Meng quickly changed the subject.

"Ah, is that the one you talked to Teacher Xia about last time? Isn't that what your unmasking artists use?" Aunt Yu was indeed intrigued.

"You can use it too; I can make a low-spec version."

Yu Hai whispered from the side, "Little sister, I want one too, is that okay?"

Yu Meng nodded, "Of course. You're my little brother, you're the best."

Yu Hai was overjoyed, "My little sister is the best."

Yu Meng pouted, "You've been saying that for almost ten years, can't you come up with something new?"

"Not changing is the best," Yu Hai laughed. "No matter how much you say, it all boils down to these few words. Saying more is just fooling you."

Dali laughed out loud, "So all our kindness towards the little sister was just a lie, and you're the only one who's truly sincere?"

Yu Hai blinked. "Big sister, I don't think I've offended you, have I?"

Dali laughed, "No offense, I was just saying my brother isn't good enough."

Yu Hai was speechless. "Fine, why not?"

Yu's father watched his children bickering from the sidelines. This kind of life is the best. Yu Jun hadn't eaten here in a long time; getting married really changes things.

Grandma Hua was quick; early in the morning, two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls arrived at the shop.

When Yu's father went to open the door, he was stunned. Two identical, beautiful little girls greeted him with "Hello, Uncle," and said that they were the ones who had come to stay.

"Come in, come in quickly." Mr. Yu hurriedly ushered the person into the house. "Have you not eaten yet? Eat with us in a bit."

Then he called out to Yu Hai, "Hai Zi, tell Chang Jiu to add two more people's meals."

"Little girls, are you twins? What should I call you?" Mr. Yu led the two girls upstairs. "My daughter lives on the second floor. You can stay with them."

"Uncle, my name is Yang Huan, and my younger sister is Yang Le," the older sister, Yang Huan, replied.

"Okay, okay, Uncle's eyesight isn't always good. If I call you by the wrong name, please don't be offended, you two sisters." Dad Yu couldn't quite tell who was who. He couldn't just stare at the little girl.

"It's okay, even my family sometimes can't tell the difference," Yang Le said with a smile.

"Xiao Si, the people you mentioned are here. Come out quickly and help them take their luggage inside," Yu's father called to Yu Meng.

Dali and Yu Meng opened the door at the same time. "Dad, let me do it. My little sister has thin arms and legs, she's not strong enough." Dali walked over and took the backpack from Yu Meng.

Yu Meng stood at the door, sizing up the two sisters. They had big eyes on their round faces, fair skin, and dimples when they smiled, giving off a sunny and easy-going vibe.

"Do you live together, or do you each have your own room?" Yu Meng asked with a smile.

"Do you have so many rooms in your house?" Yang Le asked curiously.

"Yes. My parents live on the second floor, and my brother and Changjiu live on the first floor."

"Then we'll each have one," Yang Le said eagerly. "I'm a restless sleeper, I prefer to be alone."

Yu Meng nodded, "Anything is fine, as long as these conditions are met."

During the meal, Aunt Yu also saw the twins, and her eyes narrowed with laughter. Her fourth child had never had any friends since he was little. He would rather run around the river than make friends. Unexpectedly, he suddenly had friends.

Aunt Yu was very welcoming. "It's nothing, just stay here a few more days. There's room for you. Just tell Changjiu what you want to eat; he's a great cook."

Yang Huan and Yang Le nodded in agreement. They then tactfully placed some food on Aunt Yu's plate, saying, "Auntie, I think this is delicious, you should try it."

This action made Yu Zheng even happier.

After the two girls finished eating, they helped tidy up and wiped down the front counter, but they didn't touch anything inside the counter.

Yu Meng watched coldly. Granny Hua really picked a good person. There aren't many people with such a sense of propriety.

In the afternoon, Jiang Mingfeng drove over. As soon as he entered, he saw Dali and ran over happily. "Dali, look what I got! Let me show you."

As he spoke, he pulled a small box out of his pocket as if presenting a treasure.

"This is a piece of skin from a small earthen animal. They peeled it off, and when I saw the pattern, I knew it would look great as beads."

Dali glanced at Jiang Mingfeng, who hadn't stopped since entering, her eyes flashing with amusement. "Let me see." She quickly shaped the dough into beads and held them up to her eyes. The shimmering, iridescent appearance under the sunlight was truly breathtaking.

"Do you still have this kind of dough?" Dali asked softly.

"Yes, the place we went to last time had a lot of these kinds of things. I thought they were beautiful, and I wanted to wait until we saw them together before I dealt with them." Jiang Mingfeng rubbed his hands together. "Am I really that good?"

Dali tossed the bead to Yu Hai. "Take this to my little sister and let her see what she thinks."

Turning back to Jiang Mingfeng, she said, "I'll take all these noodle-making shops. Have them delivered over later. I'll have her buy them at the highest price."

"Dali, we're family, so we don't need the highest price. Just pay for the work." Jiang Mingfeng scratched his head sheepishly. "I'd even give away my own things for free."

"Give it all to her, and you're not going to live a normal life anymore." Dali glared at him.

Jiang Mingfeng chuckled and circled around Dali.

Yu Meng held the beads in her hand. "Young man, you said this was made by my older sister on the spot, and the dough was brought by my brother-in-law."

Yu Hai nodded, "The older sister also said that our shop accepts all this kind of dough, at the highest price."

Yu Meng laughed, "My older sister has a sharp eye. Let her go back with her brother-in-law and see if his team has any other good stuff. We'll take it all."

"Okay." Yu Hai happily went downstairs to tell his older sister the news.

Yang Le held the beads up to the sunlight, "They're so beautiful! I feel like I'm being mesmerized by the colors here."

Yang Huan took them and looked at them. "Yu Meng, you can make bracelets out of these beads, right? How about selling me one sometime?"
