Chapter 144 Imitation

The household had gained a few more hands on deck, and apprentices typically started by working with ordinary wood.

Ye Shiqi, a little toddler, had already learned to walk a few steps. Seeing her father so busy, she had the apprentices, whom she treated like elder brothers, help to carve out wooden toy shapes from the ordinary wood.

These elder brothers had long known that this little girl could work harder than her sisters, and would do whatever she asked of them.

During this time, Ye Shiqi, while watching her father carve, had picked up a bit about the tools, though she was too small to use them herself. She taught others to use them but always insisted that they handle the tools with care.
