Ye Shiqi had carved an original wooden doll on the first day, followed by some strange and quirky wooden toys. She didn't store away those finished toys while continuously playing with them.
All she knew was that her father took them to be polished and painted, but he never returned them to her.
Hongji, recognizing his young daughter's talent in carving, meticulously helped finalize the work, painted the toys, and once the paint dried, stored all of his daughter's toys in a small wooden box in the toolbox.
He thought of giving his wife a surprise when she returned home.
After 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., as usual, Daya took her two sisters outside to work, anxious and hopeful for their mother's return and afraid to stay at home, not tending to the fields outside.
