For most families in the village, there is never more than a bucket of rice in the rice vat at home. The daily meals are mainly rice bran mixed with wild vegetables. The life of the Liu family is a little more prosperous, but it is generally just that.
It's 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 of them are ten stones, right?
In the eyes of everyone with suspicion and shock, the big man surnamed Fang and others walked through the village 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 will be proud of it.
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, your waist can be straighter than others.
Xiaohuan was washing the clothes that Li Yi had changed out of 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 do you put these grains?" the man named Fang said in a loud voice as he walked into the courtyard gate.
Li Yi pointed to the direction of the kitchen and said: "Move everyone there, leaving half of the meat and two stones of food. Let's take the rest and divide it among everyone."
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 been decided."
Then, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the little maid who was stunned and didn't know what was going on. "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 it comfortably.
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 "hmm", 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. Take these things and share them 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 other person 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 that was 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. Her little face looked more like
Ripe apples.
"Uncle, Xiaohuan, please 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 homes 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 mind, 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 all night until dawn.
Of course, it would be even better if a beautiful little maid could accompany you to bed.
He didn't even 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.
Moreover, if he really wanted to do this, he would be worried that his wife or sister-in-law would cut off his crime tool with a sword when he wakes up tomorrow morning.
After a while, the little maid left the room. When passing by the kitchen, she went in and took a look. She saw half a fan of pork on the table and two pieces of white rice on the side. Her mouth was slightly opened, and the expression on her pretty face was indescribable.
Surprise or joy.
In the past, when I went shopping, I could only buy a small bag of brown rice or flour. There was no extra money at home to buy more. This was the first time the little maid saw so much food.
"It seems that these are all bought by my uncle..." After murmuring a few words, a smile appeared on the girl's face, with a hint of pride. She put the piece of pork away and returned to the yard with brisk steps.
Wash the unfinished clothes just now.
Halfway through the wash, she remembered that her uncle had told her to lock something in the cupboard before going to bed, and never let the second lady see it. The little maid hurriedly got up and put a painting tube on the table by the door.
Picked it up.
Just as he was about to lock it in the cupboard, he suddenly stopped and glanced secretly into the bedroom. He found that Li Yi had fallen asleep. When he looked at the thing in his hand, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"What is it about that is so mysterious? I didn't let the second lady see it, but Xiaohuan opened it secretly and took a look. My uncle shouldn't know, right?"
After once again confirming that Li Yi would not wake up suddenly, the girl pulled the string tied to the outside of the painting tube like a thief.
When the portrait of a beautiful strange woman appeared in front of her eyes, the little maid's expression was slightly stagnant, and she was stunned for a moment.
After a long time, she stuck out her tongue and whispered: "If our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night... Could it be that this girl is what my uncle said?"
