I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Decai, who was outside the yard, shuddered with fear: Even a donkey has to be forced to learn to read, what a misfortune it has!

After hearing that it was Stone who did it, it blew a breath of hot air at Stone with a gloating look, and Stone was so angry that he punched it twice.

Ji Decai: Tomorrow, we must make it up to Haixia!

Does our family condition allow us to hire a gentleman? Lin's face immediately changed.

However, it was dark and Ji Xiaobei couldn't see her expression.

Even if she saw it, would she care? Not at all.

No matter how unwilling Lin was in her heart, she didn't say it. She couldn't say it in front of the husband because the husband had to save face.

"That's great, sister. From now on, my husband and I will help supervise my brother's studies!" Xiaohua said with her hands on her hips.

"You and your brother should study together!" Ji Xiaobei said, touching her head.

"I, I run and practice exercises in the morning and evening, so I don't want to read books!" Xiaohua tried her best to struggle. Once the elder sister made a decision, it was set in stone.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter! Letting one sheep go is the same as driving two sheep away!" Ji Xiaobei said in a firm tone.

Xiaoju quickly crouched down, ran into the house and said, "The food is warming in the pot, I'll go get it!"

Fortunately, the eldest sister was talking about two sheep and did not count her sheep.

Malacca: I am a shepherd?

Seeing Shitou coming in, Ji Xiaobei said, "By the way, let me introduce you to this gentleman invited from the county, Haixia!"

"Ma Haixia!" Malacca quickly took over the conversation. He didn't want to change his last name. "No, my name is Malacca..."

Xiaohua looked up at the gentleman. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, just a human being.

"Let's call her Haixia, the same name as a young wife in our village. Liujia and Qijia are too rustic!" Xiaohua said.

"Yes, Strait is good, Ji Strait is a good name." Shitou clapped his hands and said.

"No, my last name is not Ji, my last name is Ma..." Malacca's cheeks turned red with anxiety as he explained hurriedly.

Everyone went into the house to eat and no one paid any attention to him.

Malacca: Once you enter the Ji family, you will face the fate of having your surname changed. What a misfortune!

Lin thought it was impolite, so she turned around and called out, "Haixia, come in quickly, it's time to eat!"

It smells so good! The meat smells even better than the meat from Decai Brothers that I ate at noon!

Haixia didn't care about anything else and followed him into the house.

Because there were guests, Xiaoju lit two oil lamps and the room was brightly lit.

On the table was the leftover pork elbow from last night, and in the steamed bun basket were golden corn cakes and thick white porridge.

Haixia was stunned for a moment. Is the food in the boss's house so good?

What kind of family is this? Low-key yet flamboyant!

He worked in a pawnshop. Every meal consisted of a bowl of wild vegetable soup and a black steamed bun that was hard on the teeth. If he wanted to eat more, he had to buy it with his own money.

He never dined with his employer.

He stood in the kitchen, feeling a little embarrassed!

"Haixia, come and sit down. Our family will eat together. Come and sit down and eat!" Lin greeted Malacca.

Brother Haixia sat down next to the stone and took the chopsticks handed to him by Lin.

"Eat meat, eat meat!" Ji Xiaobei picked up a large piece of meat and put it in his bowl.

Xiaohua, Xiaoju and Shitou ate without even raising their heads, and Lin was not much better.

Haixia relaxed all of a sudden, picked up the bowl and slurped a mouthful of porridge.

Hmm, it makes my throat thick. I haven’t had such thick porridge in days.

He picked up another small piece of meat and put it in his mouth. It was soft, sticky and delicious.

Everyone was busy eating and no one paid any attention to him.

He picked up a large piece of meat without any hesitation, and the feeling of eating meat in big mouthfuls was so satisfying!

He didn't feel angry with Decai at all. It ate grass while he ate meat.

After a while, there was only a little soup left in the plate on the table. Shi Tou picked up the plate and poured it into his bowl, then drank it up in one gulp.

Strait cast him an envious look.

Ji Xiaobei wiped his glib lips and said, "Starting tomorrow, you, you, and you all have to follow Mr. Ma and study hard. Let's start with the Three Character Classic. We have books at home!"

Her finger pointed at Shitou, Xiaohua, and then Xiaoju.

Xiaoju: As a sheep, I couldn’t escape the fate of studying after all!

Malacca agreed, he was also cute.

"Sister, we need to water the beans in the field tomorrow!" said Shi Tou.

"Mr. Haixia, I'm going to take a day off tomorrow and say goodbye to my friend. We've made an appointment to pick wild flowers and paint our nails. It's not nice to stand someone up! People should be honest!"

Xiaohua said seriously.

Mr. Haixia nodded and praised: "You are right. People should be honest. After you say goodbye to them, come back. I will wait for you at home."

Xiaoju was embarrassed to say that she had something to do, but she really had something to do. Ming'er from Aunt Song's family said she would teach her how to embroider a purse, and she wanted to learn how to do it.

"Sister, I have an appointment tomorrow..."

Ji Xiaobei held his forehead with his hand...

"Since you've invited me, just leave it to me!" Ji Xiaobei waved her hand and walked out. She had other things on her mind and didn't have time to listen to their nonsense.

Lin thought that being able to read was a good thing, and said coldly, "It's all bullshit. The stones will be dug later. You all should stay home and learn. I've already taught you. If you don't learn, it's a waste of money!"

"Mom, I'm already 13, why should I learn to read?" Xiaoju didn't dare to refute her elder sister, but she dared to refute her mother.

"What's wrong with girls learning to read? Your father has already said that girls can become generals. So learn now!" She planned to force her three children to learn tomorrow in order to earn back the tuition fees.

If Shitou were to study alone, he had to pay one or two taels of silver as tuition, and if three people were to study together, the tuition was also one or two taels of silver.

If my eyes were not blurry, I would want to join in the fun, no, I want to learn...

Ji Xiaobei returned to the house and opened the refrigerator impatiently, but still no note came from his mother, and the things in the refrigerator had not been touched.

She lay down on the kang in a somewhat irritable manner, without washing or brushing her teeth, and closed her eyes.

The more I wanted to fall asleep, the more I couldn't. In a daze, I heard the sound of clappers in the village. It was just past the hour of Xu.

She sat up and listened to the whistling wind outside, and couldn't help but become more worried.

Suddenly she heard a sound of footsteps outside and she pricked up her ears. Jide was outside, so if there was any movement, it should have reacted.

No, it's a donkey, not a dog!

She simply put on her clothes, stood up and opened the door. She never believed in ghosts, and even after coming to this world, she was a staunch materialist.

A gust of cold wind mixed with yellow dust rushed in, choking her and almost making her die.

Is this a sandstorm?

She remembered that when she was in high school, there were sandstorms every spring. The dim sky carried yellow soil and hit people, and they would become Minions if they stayed outside for a while.

She reached out, pulled a pillowcase from the kang, tied it around her head, and walked out.

Outside the door, Ji Decai was yelling, uh…uh…as if he was frightened, and was tapping his feet…

She walked out quickly, opened the gate with a bang, and saw a black shadow running away from the alley.
