Happy Little Scholar

For most families in the village, there is never a bucket of rice in the rice vat at home, and their daily meals are mainly rice bran mixed with wild vegetables. The life of the Liu family is a little more prosperous. But it’s probably just enough to drink gruel.

If the big man surnamed Fang and others were carrying rice on their shoulders - this idea was too extravagant, and they didn't even dare to think about it.

You know, all the families in Liuye Village combined may not be able to get one stone of rice, and those are ten stones, right?

In the eyes of everyone with suspicion and shock, the big man surnamed Fang and others walked through the stockade with their heads held high and looked at the direct descendants of the Liu family who usually did not deal with them, with unabashed pride and pride on their faces.

These days, if you can fill your stomach, you have something to be proud of.

Those who drink gruel can look down on those who eat bran, and those who eat rice can naturally look down on those who eat porridge. When walking in the village carrying rice and meat, one can stand straighter than others.

Xiaohuan was washing the clothes that Li Yi had changed into yesterday in the yard. The door of the yard was suddenly pushed open, and a man with a red face named Fang and others walked in with bags on their shoulders.

"Uncle Fang..." Seeing Li Yi and Liu Ruyi following the big man named Fang, the little maid hurriedly stood up from the stool.

"Uncle, where can I put all this food?" the man named Fang said in a loud voice as he walked into the courtyard gate.

Li Yi pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said, "Move everyone there, leaving half of the meat and two stones of food. Let's share the rest."

The big man surnamed Fang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, as if he didn't believe his ears, and then he hurriedly said: "Uncle, you must not do it, we..."

Li Yi waved his hand, and before the man surnamed Fang could continue, "I have the final say on how to divide these things, so it's decided."

Then, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the little maid who was stunned and didn't know what happened. "Stop washing clothes, go and boil some hot water first. You'll need to take a shower later."

I have been running around all day today, riding a horse all the way, and walking all the way back. Li Yi does not have the physical fitness of the big man named Fang. He is very tired. I am afraid that he has already developed a few blisters on the soles of his feet. Now he just wants to soak in a comfortable bath. Take a hot bath and then have a good night's sleep. We'll talk about the big deal tomorrow.

The little maid's eyes lingered on the half fan of pork carried by the big man named Fang for a long time. When she heard Li Yi calling her, she hurriedly said "yes", put down the clothes in her hands, and ran to boil water.

"Uncle, wait, this is really impossible!"

The big man surnamed Fang put down the things on his shoulders and was about to chase Li Yi when a figure suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Just do what my brother-in-law just said. Let's share these things among everyone. Don't forget Mr. Qin and Aunt Sun's share." Liu Ruyi watched Li Yi's back disappear into the house, her beautiful eyes flashing There was a trace of strange color, and then he turned around and said to the man named Dahan and others.

"Second Miss, we..."

The big man surnamed Fang and others looked at her with complicated eyes, but did not say anything for a long time.

In today's economy, a few buckets of grain can feed a family, and the grain they receive is enough to keep them from having to worry about food for several months.

"Okay, I know everyone's life is not easy. We are all one family, so there is no need to be so polite." A rare smile appeared on Liu Ruyi's usually cold face.

After a long time, the man surnamed Fang turned around and saw several people behind him still looking at the direction where Liu Ruyi disappeared with grateful eyes. He smiled honestly, punched the person next to him on the shoulder, pointed to the kitchen and said: "What are you still doing? Let's move the things in first!"

Wearing only a loincloth all over his body, lying in a wooden bathtub half a person's height, Li Yi suddenly felt comfortable all over, and the fatigue accumulated during the day was swept away.

The only drawback is that the space of this bathtub is a bit small. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely build a bathtub, or simply dig a large bathhouse at home to use as a hot spring and swimming pool...

Xiaohuan walked in from the outside and added some warm water to the bathtub. When she looked at the bathtub, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly. She thought of the scene when she saw her uncle for the first time, and her little face looked more like Ripe apples.

"Uncle, Xiaohuan, please help you wipe your back." The little maid picked up the towel and said in a soft voice.

The little girl was very skillful in wiping her back, and the force was neither light nor heavy. Li Yi lay on the edge of the tub, enjoying the little maid's back-wiping service. He suddenly felt that the life of the ancients was simply too flashy and decadent. Having a little maid was already like this. , those rich people’s families still don’t know what luxury is like.

As a good young man in the 21st century, how could he let himself down and be poisoned by the luxurious atmosphere of feudal society? A man cannot be greedy for pleasure. With this thought in his heart, he opened his mouth and said to Xiaohuan: "A little to the left, a little to the left... …Yes, that’s right there!”

After a day of hard work, the happiest thing is to take a comfortable hot bath under the service of a beautiful little maid, and then have a good sleep, sleeping dreamlessly until dawn.

Of course, it would be even better if a beautiful little maid could accompany him to bed.

He didn't think about asking a little maid to serve him in bed. A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old would not be an adult in future generations, and Li Yi was not such a beast.

Li Yi has never thought about this cute little maid.

Besides, if he really did this, he was also worried that his wife or sister-in-law would cut off his crime tools with a sword when he got up tomorrow morning.

A moment later, the little maid left the room and took a look when she passed by the kitchen. She saw half a pork loin on the table and two stones of white rice on the side. Her mouth opened slightly, and the expression on her pretty face was hard to tell whether it was surprise or joy.

In the past, when she went out to purchase, she would at most buy a small bag of brown rice or flour. There was no extra money in the family to buy more things. It was the first time for the little maid to see so much food.

"These seem to be bought by the son-in-law..." After muttering a few words, a smile appeared on the girl's face, and she was slightly proud. She put the piece of pork away and walked briskly back to the yard to wash the clothes that had not been washed just now.

Halfway through washing, she remembered that the son-in-law had told her to lock something in the cabinet before going to bed and never let the second lady see it. The little maid hurriedly got up and picked up a painting tube on the table at the door.

Just as she was about to lock it in the cabinet, she suddenly paused and secretly glanced into the bedroom. She found that Li Yi was already asleep. When she looked at the thing in her hand, a trace of doubt appeared on her face.

"What is so mysterious that you don't let the second lady see it. Xiaohuan secretly opened it to see if the son-in-law doesn't know?"

After confirming again that Li Yi would not wake up suddenly, the girl pulled the thin rope tied to the outside of the painting tube like a thief.

When the portrait of a beautiful strange woman appeared in front of her, the little maid's expression stagnated slightly, and she was stunned for a while.

After a long time, she stuck out her tongue and whispered: "If the love between two people lasts for a long time, why should they be together day and night... Could it be that the son-in-law is talking about this girl?"
