When I get up the next morning, everything is as usual.
Li Hui took the two children to clean up the mess in the yard, Cheng Xue got up to cook, and Li Yue looked after his younger brother and younger sister.
Everyone has a clear division of labor and is busy with their own affairs.
Last night, the four of them got together until early in the morning. After eating, they made tea and chatted while drinking.
Talk about the township test, talk about the meeting test, talk about Maoshan Town, talk about Wanghe Village...
While chatting, the topic of Wang Sen came up. Li Hui and Zhou Fei were both worried for him.
With Wang Sen's character, even if Mr. Du told him on the same day, he would not leave the next day. I hope he can wait before leaving and not take this opportunity.
The one-size-fits-all approach is only temporary. After all, Maoshan Town is far away from Pingyang County. Preventing students from participating in the township examination will easily arouse public anger. It is estimated that when the government comes up with countermeasures, it will be able to explain.
Seeing Li Yue holding a pile of clothes, she hurriedly said:
"No need for you, just wait until mother takes a shower."
"Mom, let's cook. Just a few clothes, I'll knead them twice."
After Li Yue finished speaking, she took the two little tails out. Yan Yixin saw her holding clothes in her hands and not putting away the string for the stove. She carried the water stick to the backyard to fetch water.
After hitting three buckets in a row, Li Yue said with a smile:
"Brother, that's enough."
Seeing that most of the basin's water was indeed enough, Yan Yixin brought the bucket over again.
"Call me when you're pouring water, and don't get up."
"Okay." Li Yue responded, took the washboard and started washing.
When Li Hui saw that Li Heng hadn't moved, he raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and take the bag out and empty it. Let's go for a run when we get back. Brother Xin, don't go there. You're going to do some horse walking at home, practice kung fu, and help Tangtang beat her hands on the way."
"I understand, uncle." Yan Yixin responded and walked to the side, gaiting properly.
When Li Heng came back from emptying his bags, he was dragged out for a morning run by his father. He always felt that something was wrong, but his father didn't give him time to think about it. Plus, running around Fucheng twice, he was really exhausted. He was panting from exhaustion, and when he saw his father acting like nothing was wrong, he instantly felt it was unfair.
"Dad, I go up mountains and climb trees with Master every day, and you get up every morning to exercise. How can you be better than me?"
"No?" Li Hui raised his eyebrows.
Hearing his whispered "unfair", Li Hui smiled and said nothing.
He has never lost when it comes to endurance. For those trained by Skyhawk, explosive power and endurance are required courses. As a sharp-sword force, the ability to attack is a must, and the ability to endure is necessary.
The two children are still young and can be trained when they are older. When he has the right to speak in the future, he will promote this training program in Liangyan so that the army here can benefit and better defend the country.
Protect yourself.
The day's plan begins in the morning.
Everyone in the Li family is full of energy, including the two younger ones.
Li Tian helps his sister put out the soap nuts, and Li Huai accompanies his eldest brother to do the horse walking.
Cheng Xue came out of the house and saw her youngest son squatting, "Pfft——" and chuckled.
"Are you tired?"
The little guy shook his head, straightened his two little arms in a decent manner, and cheered himself up with a "ha--" in his mouth.
When Cheng Xue saw this, she ignored him and used a rag to clean the string in the yard so that she could hang the clothes later.
It would be nice to have a clothes hanger, which not only saves space, but also keeps clothes from getting wrinkled.
I'll ask Dong Bin to make a few when I get back, and he happens to be a carpenter.
After breakfast, Li Hui took Li Tian to Pang's house. Yan Yixin and Li Heng went back to their room to practice calligraphy and read books. Li Yue played the piano in the shade of the yard, and Li Tian and Li Huai played in the yard.
The children were relieved, and Cheng Xue was not idle either. She took the medical book and continued to study on the kang.
She read six medical books over and over countless times, and memorized many prescriptions in her mind, but she had nowhere to apply them.
I said I wanted to be a bell doctor, but I never had the chance, and now it seems that I won't be able to do it in the short term.
After lunch is ready, Li Hui will come back by himself.
"Where's Sweetie?"
"If she's not coming back, she's playing with Sister Yao. Mr. Pang is also keeping her, so I'll leave her there. You can pick her up when it's time for nap. I'll go find Zhou Fei after dinner."
"The old man agreed?"
Li Hui nodded, a little embarrassed and said:
"You have to work harder tomorrow and bring out three meals a day. I made an agreement with Mr. Pang."
"How many people are there? Can you bring the servants with you?" Cheng Xue asked.
You have to determine the number of people before cooking, otherwise it will be so hot that you will overcook and eat too much and it will be wasted.
Li Hui shook his head, swallowed the food in his mouth and said:
"They are just a family of three, with no servants. Old Pang cooks for the Pang family. I came back and asked him not to do it. The old man said that he had bought everything and would not cook it starting tomorrow. Do we have enough food to eat?"
Fortunately, the old man didn't refuse three meals a day, otherwise he wouldn't have the shame to learn from me. It's already embarrassing not to ask Shu Xiu, but now he brings someone there, which is really unreasonable.
Cheng Xue's eyes widened when she heard this, Pang Lao actually cooked, such a learned scholar...
"No wonder the old man praised you yesterday when he saw you carrying that thing. It turns out that you are also a family man. It's okay. Our family has plenty of fine food and enough food. Why did Zhou Fei come over to study before?"
"It will have to happen tomorrow." Li Hui replied.
Cheng Xue nodded and invited the children to come over for dinner.
Three meals a day are taken care of, and there is also a Huizhou inkstone at home, which I will send as a thank-you gift after the provincial examination is over, but I really can’t take it out.
You definitely can't give away money, that would be an insult to the old man.
After lunch, Li Hui hurriedly went to find Zhou Fei, while Li Yue went to Pang's house to pick up Li Tian.
Cheng Xue dug out a piece of goose-yellow material and prepared to make clothes for Li Tian and Pang Yao respectively.
Just do the same thing, it doesn’t look so deliberate.
Seeing Li Yue coming back by herself, Cheng Xue asked in confusion:
"Why, you can't sleep anymore after playing so much?"
"I slept with Sister Yao, but Grandpa Pang didn't let me hold him."
After Li Yue saw the materials on the kang, he hurriedly went to the outhouse to wash his hands and came over to help.
"Tangtang, this material is enough for the two of them. When you get home, my mother will use lotus-colored ones to make you a dress..."
"No need, mother, I have a lot of clothes, enough to wear." Li Yue smiled and shook his head.
If it were her before, she might have thought too much and become worried. But not anymore. Her mother's preference for her is obvious and she can feel it.
Cheng Xue was afraid that Li Huai would come and cause trouble, so she gave him a Bagua lock to relieve his boredom. When the couple finished cutting their clothes, they found that the little guy had fallen asleep on the pillow.
He looks cute with his little butt stuck out, but in fact he has a bad temper. I have given him hawthorn chicken gizzard powder and it should be effective after a while.
Li Yue went over to help his brother adjust his sleeping position, put the thin quilt on his belly, threaded the needle and thread, and started sewing.
The two of them were making one piece each. Cheng Xue bit off the needle and thread and thought about it before putting on her shoes and going next door to have a look.
I saw the two brothers were writing with their heads down, and she raised the corners of her mouth, feeling happy.
It is said that parents are children's best teachers. Li Hui chews books every day, and she reads medical books every day, so the children at home can study and read in a down-to-earth manner without going out to play.
There was a sound coming from next door. This was the first time the family had heard it after two days of stay...
