Gu Nian, who wanted to look at the dishes, was disappointed. However, Lin Sanshui did not notice. He had already walked forward.

Gu Nian was standing at the entrance of a grocery store. She wanted to go in and take a look. However, when she thought of the bucket of meat on the ground, she was afraid that someone would steal it when she was not around.

Lin Sanshui returned not long after. There was a young man beside her. He had a delicate face, which was somewhat similar to Lin Sanshui.

“This must be my little sister.” Lin Dahu had just heard from his father that he had adopted a daughter. Initially, Lin Dahu thought it would be awkward to have a stranger in the house. However, when he saw Gu Nian, he was instantly won over by her adorable face.

Lin Dahu smiled as he squatted down in front of Gu Nian. “Little Sister, I’m your big brother. Let me hear you call me Big Brother.”

Dahu was in a period of voice changing, so his voice was not pleasant to hear. It was a typical duck’s voice.

However, the kindness in his eyes and his every move made Gu Nian feel close to him.

She stepped forward and gave him a big hug. “Hello, Big Brother. I’m your new sister, Gu Nian. You have to love me and not bully me in the future.”

Gu Nian?

Dahu raised his head and looked at Lin Sanshui in confusion.

Lin Sanshui mouthed to him, “I haven’t changed her surname yet.”

The couple only called Gu Nian “Nian Nian” or “dear”. The two sons called her “sister”. Therefore, no one had ever mentioned changing Gu Nian’s surname.

Dahu could also guess, but it didn’t matter what her name was. What was important was that he liked this sister.

Dahu picked Gu Nian up and said, “Let’s go and pick up Erhu.”

Lin Erhu was an apprentice of a carpenter, and the apprenticeship was even harder than Dahu.

Initially, Lin Sanshui wanted to get both of his sons to work in the same restaurant. At the very least, they would not have to worry about food and drink in the restaurant.

However, Qinglin Restaurant did not need so many people, so they could only settle for second best. They found Erhu a carpenter’s job. If he learned it, it would be a great skill.

When they arrived at the door of the carpenter’s shop, the sound of wood being thrown could be heard.

Lin Sanshui stepped forward with an ingratiating smile and asked, “Master Li, are you busy? I’m here to bring Erhu back. Where is he?”

Carpenter Li didn’t seem to be easy to get along with. He put down his work with a cold face. Then, he stood up and said impatiently, “He’s lying in the backyard. Hurry up and get him out of here. He doesn’t need to come here anymore!”

Lin Sanshui’s smiling face could not help but stiffen, “Master Li, how can you say that? Did Erhu do something wrong? Please tell me. I’ll definitely teach him a lesson when I get back.”

One must know that Lin Sanshui had spent a full tael of silvers to send his son to be an apprentice.

Furthermore, Erhu had been here for a year but did not get a single cent of his salary.

Of course, as an apprentice, it was up to the master to decide whether he would pay or not. Lin Sanshui did not mind this, but the carpenter had to give him a reason, right?

Master Li snorted coldly and said, “I’ve never seen such a stupid person. He’s learned for a year, but he still even made a mistake in the size, causing our shop to lose a big deal. I only asked him to leave, but I didn’t ask him to pay for it. He should be content. If you know what’s good for him, get him out of here and stop being an eyesore!”
