Lian Shouxin pushed a flat cart, on top of which were placed two wooden troughs, as well as a door made of wooden planks, and the family headed toward the old house.
Lights were already lit in the Upper Room, and Old Master Lian had finished his dinner, standing at the door puffing on his dry pipe. When he saw Lian Shouxin arriving, he called him over to ask how the construction of the house was progressing.
As Lian Manman's family was building the new room, Old Master Lian wanted to help them with labor and even suggested that Lian Shouyi and the other two, along with Lian Shouli, quit their jobs on the mountain to help out with the construction.
Although Old Master Lian meant well, after discussing it amongst themselves, the family still declined the offer.
