In fact, there was a small courtyard behind the curtain.
The small courtyard was surrounded by walls on both sides, and one side was connected to the tavern.
On the other side was a corridor that was only four or five steps wide.
There was a separate kitchen next to the corridor.
This small courtyard was originally open-air. A few days ago, Zhao Yi built a shed and a boiler below.
It looked like a small blacksmith workshop. There were smithing tools on the shelves and a few strange finished products.
Li Lizhi really wanted to take a closer look at the oddly-shaped products.
However, it was cold outside, and she was carrying a one-year-old child in her arms. She could only give up on this idea.
Ding!
When the fire was burning brightly, Zhao Yi began to make mature anti-slip shoe covers for the girl.
Yesterday, although the girl and Old Li understood the meaning of his words, the things they made were too rough and there were many safety risks.
Seeing that the young girl was not bad and that she had come to visit the Wind and Snow, Zhao Yi was prepared to specially make an upgraded pair of anti-slip shoes for the girl.
To put it simply, Old Li and the young girl thought too simply of the anti-slip shoes on the ice floor, and they made them too simply.
He only used a piece of cowhide and ordered a few things that looked like nails.
With the sharp cone facing the bottom, it was made into the crudest anti-slip shoe cover on the ice ground.
As for him, he had the memories of his later life. He could definitely make a higher-level, more mature, and safer shoe cover for walking on ice.
That was to add a circular serrated nail to the shoe cover.
On one hand, it increased the resistance unit.
On the other hand, the length requirement for this kind of serrated nail was not high.
It also allowed people to walk more easily.
"Clang!"
Li Lizhi was stunned when she saw Zhao Yi, who was still a humble scholar, sweating in the cold wind to help her make anti-slip shoe covers.
Zhao Yi, who was serious in his work, had a completely different look, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
Most importantly, Zhao Yi was working so hard for her!
"Ya ya…"
The one-year-old little guy was obsessed with Li Lizhi's aura and moved around in her arms.
Suddenly, Li Lizhi's face turned red and her face turned pale. She screamed like a frightened deer.
Zhao Yi turned his head in shock.
"What's wrong?"
"No... I'm fine."
Li Lizhi bit her lip and hugged the little guy tightly in her arms. Her face was as red as blood.
Zhao Yi frowned and subconsciously lectured his daughter,""Yaya, don't make big sister angry.”
Li Lizhi did not expect Zhao Yi to call her that again. She stomped her feet in anger and said in distress,
"Big brother Zhao, not big sister, Yaya should call me YiNiang.”
"Alright, YiNiang."
Zhao Yi looked at the girl's cute appearance and shook his head with a smile. He continued to make shoe covers.
Seeing that Zhao Yi was no longer paying attention to her, Li Lizhi quickly bit her lip and pulled the little guy out of her arms.
Then, she took a step back and let the curtain fall, blocking Zhao Yi's view.
Li Lizhi was both loving and angry at the little guy.
Because just now, the little fellow actually…
"Yaya, you can't do this. I'm not your mother.”
Li Lizhi raised the little guy in front of her with a cute frown.
The little guy did not give up. He wanted to jump back into Li Lizhi's arms, and his little hand was still pointing at Li Lizhi's chest.
Li Lizhi blushed and corrected him again,"
"Yaya, I'm YiNiang, not your mother. You can't treat YiNiang like this.”
"Ah... Ah... Mother... Dear..."
The one-year-old Yaya looked at Li Lizhi with her big, adorable eyes. As she muttered, she suddenly called out the word 'mother'.
Li Lizhi was taken aback, and her cheeks were burning up again.
Like a thief, she carefully peeked at Zhao Yi's back through the gap in the curtain.
Then he lowered his voice and corrected her,"Yaya, it's not mother, it's YiNiang."?”
"Mother…Dear..."
The little guy seemed to be studying very seriously as he read along.
Li Lizhi was stunned and looked at the little guy helplessly.
But gradually, she suddenly stopped talking and did not correct Yaya's voice.
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had the intention.
Standing behind the curtain, Li Lizhi held the cute little guy in her arms and was a little lost in thought.
The little guy's mother had already passed away. Now, she realized that she had fallen in love with the little guy's father, and the little guy suddenly called her mother.
Was it destined for her to be the little guy's mother?
Although the little fellow was not her biological child, feelings did not need to be maintained by blood.
Moreover, she really liked the cute little guy in her arms.
"What's wrong with you?"
Just as Li Lizhi was thinking about these things, the curtain was suddenly opened by a large hand.
A slender figure stood in front of Li Lizhi, looking down at her with a pair of clear eyes.
"No... I'm fine."
Li Lizhi tried to hide her panic and didn't dare to look into Zhao Yi's eyes.
Zhao Yi didn't probe further into the girl's reaction.
He took a pair of improved shoe covers and sat down beside a stool. Then, he called the girl over.
Li Lizhi walked over with the little guy in her arms.
"Mother…Dear..."
The little guy was still practicing this form of address. He touched Li Lizhi's face with his little hand, and his big black eyes were filled with a happy smile.
Li Lizhi blushed.
Seeing Zhao Yi looking at her with a strange expression, she quickly said,
"I just taught her to call me YiNiang and accidentally mentioned the word 'Mother', so the little fellow ended up calling me wrongly.”
Zhao Yi was stunned. His expression changed a few times and he lowered his gaze unnaturally.
Li Lizhi suddenly realized that her explanation was wrong.
Wasn't this telling Zhao Yi that she was suspicious of the little guy calling her mother just now?
"Big Brother Zhao, I... I'm not..."
"It's normal for children to call the wrong name.”
Zhao Yi raised his head and stretched out his hands.
Li Lizhi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhao Yi didn't find it strange.
She wanted to return the little guy to Zhao Yi.
However, the little guy immediately recognized her. He turned his head and stretched out his chubby little hand to hit his father's big hand.
"I don't want Daddy to hug me!"
The little guy said in a childish voice.
