Carefree Scholar Chapter 25: Simple and honest man
Li Yi woke up, the sky was already bright, and estimated the time, it was almost equivalent to ten o'clock in the later life.
In the past, Xiaohuan would wake him up early, and after washing, it was time to go to the school to teach the bear kids.
Today is the first day after the Chinese Valentine’s Day. It is reasonable to say that Li Yi should be in the school at this time to tell the bear children that the monkeys fight the yellow wind monster, but according to his wake-up time today, if he goes to the school now, wait until he arrives. Classes are almost over in school.
got dressed and just got out of bed, I saw Xiaohuan coming in from outside with a water basin, looked up and saw Li Yi, and said, "Uncle, you are awake!"
"Why didn't you wake me up this morning?" After sleeping for a long time and getting a little dizzy when I got up, Li Yi rubbed his swollen head and asked.
"When I saw my uncle sleeping sweetly in the morning, I didn't wake my uncle." Xiaohuan put the copper basin on the shelf beside him, and said, "My uncle, wash up first. I have been to the school just now and told the children to come tomorrow. Class."
Actually, Li Yi didn't have the intention of giving lessons to the bear children. He just washed his face with the water in the copper basin, and symbolically pulled a piece of dry cloth and wiped it.
In this era, there is something called pancreas, which is equivalent to soap for later generations, but it is used by the dignitaries to wash their faces or bathe, and ordinary people can't afford it.
Li Yi has long been thinking about how to make soap. As an Aquarius with a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is difficult to bear to wash his face every day.
After washing my face, I dipped the willow branches with a little salt and brushed my teeth briefly. Salt is still very expensive in this world. There are almost no poor people who use salt to brush their teeth, but he doesn't want to learn how to clean his teeth by chewing on willow branches...that thing tastes too bitter, not bad for that sin.
walked out the door, just to see Liu Ruyi coming back from the outside, with a slight sweat leaking out of his forehead, he should have just returned from practice.
She just glanced at Li Yi, did not speak, and went back to her room to take a shower.
The room where Li Yi lives is in the front yard, and the back yard is where sisters Xiaohuan and Liu Ruyi live, and he has never entered.
Watching Liu Ruyi's back disappear, Li Yi's mouth twitched.
People are beautiful and thick-skinned. If you hacked yourself hundreds of dollars, you can pretend that nothing happened every day. At least Li Yi can't do that.
"Hey, there is little ring!"
A rough voice suddenly came from his side, which frightened Li Yi. When he turned his head, he found a burly middle-aged man walking into the yard from outside.
When he saw this big man, Li Yi's body shook and his face immediately turned black.
This big man and him are also old acquaintances.
At that time, Liu Ruyi gave an order that he turned over and dismounted, carried himself up and threw himself on the horse. Suddenly seeing this familiar face, Li Yi felt that the position of his lower abdomen was a little bit painful.
"Uncle Fang, what's the matter?" Xiaohuan looked very enthusiastic to the big man and said with a smile.
the big man smiled honestly, raised his hand, and said: "The pheasant you just caught from the mountain in the morning, take it and stew it, and make up for the young lady."
Li Yi found out that the man was still carrying two "unidentified objects" in his hand.
Golden crest, colorful feathers on the body, red abdomen, and long tail feathers-golden pheasant!
Li Yi glanced at the big man. This is the pheasant he beat on the mountain?
hunting and killing animals protected by the state, if it is placed in later generations, it would be an illegal act...
However, golden pheasants are also chickens, and meat is good. Besides, wild pheasants should be much better than the hens raised in Wu's family, right?
In a short time, when Li Yi looked at the big man again, he actually felt that the originally hateful face was also pleasing to the eye a lot.
The small ring noodles are difficult to look like, and said: "Uncle Fang, you can take these two pheasants back, and let my aunt stew them for the children. We haven't finished the pheasants I picked up two days ago. "
The harvest last year was not good. Every family in the stockade had a hard time. The Liu family was a little better. After all, it was the main family and at least wouldn’t be hungry, but there were still a lot of people who even had two daily meals. Meals have to be carefully planned. The big guy in front of you belongs to this category. I am afraid that he will not eat meat twice a year. If he accepts this pheasant, not only the lady will blame it, but Xiaohuan himself can't reach out.
"Hey, thanks from the elders, I dare not give up, Xiaohuan, can't be so rude..." Li Yi strode over and took the golden pheasant from the big man with a smile on his face, "That, Uncle Fang, yes, thank you!"
The big man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I'm a vulgar person, I don't know what to say, my family said, if it wasn't for the old village master to give us a bite of food back then, we are now I’ve starved to death a long time ago. I can’t be a man without a conscience, and I don’t have anything at home. Just take these two pheasants.
The smile on Li Yi's face is even brighter. People in ancient times are really simple and lovely...
"Auntie..." The little maid pulled at the corner of Li Yi's clothes and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
The big man turned his head and looked at Li Yi. Seeing his thin body, he gave a silly smile, stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder, and said, "My uncle is so thin, it should be made up!"
There was a sudden strong force on his shoulders, and Li Yi staggered and almost fell to his knees.
The big man was taken aback again when he saw this, and then he scratched his head with embarrassment: "I'm so sorry~IndoMTL.com~ I have a lot of hands, and I forgot that my uncle is a scholar, and he is weak. Don't blame my uncle..."
Even if it’s cheap, Li Yi’s face is a little twitched, and he wonders if this guy’s honesty is pretended...
"That...I'll go back if I'm okay, and the mouth is still at home waiting for me!" The big man rubbed his hands and said embarrassingly.
"Goodbye Uncle Fang!"
Watching the big man's figure disappear from a distance, Xiaohuan sighed and said: "Uncle, you shouldn't have accepted these two pheasants."
Li Yi rubbed his aching shoulder, and asked puzzledly: "Why?"
"The old man was kind to the uncle's family before, but now there are two young ladies in the family. Uncle Fang often brings things over, and there are some old brothers of the old man who usually help with everything..." The girl's pretty eyebrows frowned and said: "Miss usually doesn't let Xiaohuan take these things, and their life... is not easy."
If the two hens in Wu's family are carried in his hands, Li Yi will definitely kill the chickens and pluck her hair without any psychological burden, one will make chicken cutlets and the other will make chicken soup...
But when Xiaohuan said that, he suddenly felt that the pheasant he was carrying was much heavier.
It's not good to be favored by others for no reason, Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "Why don't we do the two pheasants, and send them some, even if it is a gift, how about? "
The little maid heard the words, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she said: "Okay, okay, my uncle's food is so delicious, they will love it."
Li Yi smiled. After placing the pheasant, he waved his hand and said: "Clean up, go to the mountain to pick some fresh mushrooms. Let’s eat chicken stewed mushrooms today!"
