Good luck every time

Li Ershi had long legs and took big steps. He was familiar with the entire village. Even when there was not much moonlight, he walked steadily.

Sun Xiaohua woke up in the middle of her sleep with her eyes squinted. She moved around and found a more comfortable position.

She felt that her movements were precise, but Li Ershi felt that the person on his back suddenly slid to the side along his back. He was so scared that he quickly bent down and lifted the person up.

Sun Xiaohua felt uncomfortable from being shaken and muttered something nonsense.

Li Er didn't understand either. In the end, he didn't stop the other person from sliding down. He had to squat down and let Sun Xiaohua fall to the ground.

It’s not easy to carry a drunk, let alone a small drunk!

He sighed, wrapped Sun Xiaohua tightly with clothes, and picked her up with some strength.

Not to mention, he was also misled by Li Shiliu. It is much more convenient to hold a child than to carry him on the back.

Sun Xiaohua quickly found a comfortable position and fell asleep with a snore.

Li Er arrived at the Han family very quickly.

Han's family was already asleep, and he frowned.

There are many children in the village, and some families let their children roam freely. But this is too much. The girl hasn’t come back yet, and the whole family has gone to sleep???

But this thought went through Li Er's mind for a while and was immediately thrown out.

He looked into the yard and still didn't see anyone, so he looked away and stood at the door waiting for a while.

Although Sun Xiaohua was also wearing coarse cloth clothes, it was obvious that they were carefully prepared by her family. Li Er had seen her many times, and he could even see her wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year. This didn't seem like something that would happen in a family that didn't love their children.

Even though Li Erji had drunk some alcohol, his mind was still very active.

He began to recall why he felt that this girl was a child of the Han family!

After thinking about it, he seemed to remember that he had seen this little girl at the Han family.

Li Er frowned. It happened so long ago that he couldn't remember it clearly.

But since this concerns the girl's reputation after all, Li Er decided to go back to Li Ruyi and ask her first.

He took two steps back and was about to go home when he saw a few people holding lanterns, staggering and walking towards him cautiously.

The village head was furious and cursed his son in a low voice.

"You lost the child while having a wedding banquet! Why don't you lose your head too!"

The eldest son of the village head dared not say a word when he was scolded.

Didn't he just ignore it because he saw the kids at home going to play with Xiaoman?

Sun Xiaohua and Xiaoman were always together, and nothing had happened between them for many years. But who would have thought that after a wedding banquet, the children would not come back so late.

When Li Er heard this, he subconsciously hid in the shadows.

The head of the village had not even put on his shoes properly and was picked up by his eldest son in the middle of his sleep.

The two of them hurried over to look for Li Ruyi.

"I wonder what you would do if your child was lost!"

When the village head's eldest son heard this, he quickly retorted.

"Dad! The child must be with Ruyi..."

The head of the village was furious.

"Ruyi is such a reliable person. If Xiaohua was at her house, she would definitely send someone over to explain. How could she not bring a single word?"

When Li Ershi heard the name "Xiaohua", he suddenly realized something.

It seems that I really remembered it wrong.

He was just about to step out and call out to the two people, but suddenly he thought of something, and hurriedly wanted to go around to the front, pretending to meet them by chance, and send the child back.

But who would have thought that at this moment, the village head suddenly stopped, sniffed in the air, and frowned.

"Why does it smell so much like alcohol?"

Li Erji felt that something was wrong when he smelled the "smell of alcohol". He was so busy trying to hold his breath that he forgot that he had drunk a lot of wine today.

He thought that he might as well just stand up and say it, since it wasn't something that couldn't be explained clearly anyway.

However, just as this thought came to his mind, the little girl in his arms suddenly stiffened.

"Wine... good wine... another glass..."

Li Er: ...

This sound instantly attracted the village head and his eldest son who were not far away.

The village head was no fool. He quickly lowered his voice and shouted angrily.

"Who?"

A dog from an unknown family not far away started barking, causing chaos around. Li Er was so panicked that sweat broke out on his forehead. At one point, he even thought about where to bury his own grave.

He had no choice but to come out.

"It's me, Li Er!"

The head of the village did not relax at all. He had already realized that the voice just now belonged to his own granddaughter!

Li Er also quickened his pace, and the three of them soon met.

When the head of the village and his eldest son smelled the alcohol on Li Er, their scalps almost exploded!

Li Ershi was in a similar situation. His muscles were stiff and he pushed the child towards them.

"Well...your child is at my house, haha...she's drunk...I'll take her back."

The village head curled the corners of his mouth stiffly, as if he was an old zombie that had become a spirit. There was no trace of happiness in this smile at all.

"thank you!"

Hearing his thanks squeezed out from between his teeth, Li Er subconsciously shrank his neck.

I feel a chill on the back of my neck.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. If he had sent the person to the Han family, he would have been hacked to death tomorrow morning!

Although the little girl went to the wedding banquet with her father, the two families were familiar with each other after all, and Xiaoman also contributed a lot to the drinking.

Li Er has to take the blame for this even if he doesn't want to.

Making it too clear will not improve his reputation, it will only make people laugh at him and Li Ruyi.

The village head's eldest son hurried over to take his girl away. The village head also turned around to check and saw that Sun Xiaohua was sleeping soundly. They both breathed a sigh of relief.

Blown by the cold wind, the little girl in her sleep murmured clearly again.

"drink!"

This powerful voice made the three of them feel awkward again.

The head of the village finally regained his senses and realized that Li Ershi was probably the one who was forced to clean up the mess.

His attitude softened a lot and he turned around to thank Li Er.

"Thank you! This child has caused you trouble!"

Li Ershi broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He relaxed when he heard what the head of the village said and explained.

"It's okay. The kids didn't do anything serious. They just drank a little wine. They didn't cause any trouble. I sent the rest of the kids back!"

As for why Sun Xiaohua was sent last, the village head roughly understood that it was because he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to the villagers when there were many people around.

Looking at how other people wrapped their children up so tightly, he couldn't say anything to complain.

If you don't take good care of your own children, you can't blame others for anything that happens.

but……

The head of the village looked at Sun Xiaohua with an extremely dangerous look.

Li Er shrank his neck again.

The village head finally reacted.

"Thank you for your trouble. I will come to your house in person to thank you tomorrow."

Li Er waved his hands, totally daring not to accept it.

"It's a small matter! Go back quickly! It's cold at night, don't be blown by the wind!"

That's true, especially with a child involved.

The head of the village was no longer polite. He thanked Li Er and turned back.

His son followed him happily, holding his daughter in his arms.

Only after the people left did Li Er heaved a sigh of relief.

He was careless this time. He really didn't know much about the girl. Besides, the girl usually stayed with the third brother and Li Jixiang, and he had never suspected her, so he almost made a fool of himself.

Li Er shook his head, turned around and went home.

The next morning, just as he expected, the sound of children being beaten could be heard everywhere in the village, especially next door...

The third brother hasn't been beaten for a long time.

But this time, he was beaten up by three members of the same family.

Drinking is a big deal in itself, but drinking secretly is not enough, but drinking secretly with others is even more...

If something bad happens to someone else's child due to drinking, how will Li Ruyi explain to them!

While they were fighting, Han Shian came and brought Han Shiyu over to be beaten together.

Li Ershi was extremely tired these days and did not come to practice. After practicing in his own yard, he went back to sleep.

Listening to the noise coming from next door, he turned over and the headman's angry face flashed through his mind.

I guess Sun Xiaohua isn’t much better than these two kids!

He felt relieved knowing that these brats were being beaten!

It was worth it that he stayed up until midnight.

In the end, Xiaoman and Han Shiyu were punished by standing against the wall together.

The third brother was squatting there, while Han Shiyu was standing straight as punishment.

It seemed that just doing the horse stance was not difficult enough, and Li Ruyi also put two books on the third child's head.

Granny Ding was sitting in a shed nearby meditating. If a book fell, the third child would be punished with an extra stick of incense time.

After standing in punishment that day, both children looked haggard.

Han Shiyu was rubbing his legs and sighing while eating dinner.

The third brother was much more practical than him. He devoured a bowl of rice and half a plate of meat in no time, and it was obvious that he had a very good appetite.

After finishing the meal, he patted Han Shiyu on the shoulder.

"Too weak! You need to practice more!"

Han Shiyu vomited for most of last night and felt very uncomfortable. He felt nauseous when he saw food.

He glanced at the third brother and sighed again.

The third brother wanted to run away after eating, but was stopped by Han Shiyu.

"That's right, little master."

When the third sister heard someone calling her, she stopped and answered.

"Ugh?"

Han Shiyu didn't encounter a suitable opportunity yesterday, so he finally had time to take out a book from his arms.

"This is the book I copied with my senior brother from the academy. I copied a copy for you as well."

When he heard that it was a book, the third brother showed no interest.

Han Shiyu winked at her.

"You must see it!"

The third brother understood instantly, grabbed the book and raised his eyebrows at Han Shiyu.

"Okay! Thank you! I'll leave some snacks for you next time you come back."

Han Shiyu laughed instantly and nodded vigorously.

The third brother ran away with the notebook in his hand. She had to make sure about the other disciples, and she couldn't just take care of this one.

The next morning, Han Shian was about to leave. He didn't have much time as he still had a lot of things to do.

Li Ruyi saw him off and told him about her recent situation.

Although the two met, the letter sent by Han Shian was still not missed.

Although Li Ruyi's ability to write poetry has not improved much recently, his level of appreciating poetry has improved a lot.

Middle-aged men who have been holding back for two lifetimes are much less reserved than young people. They always write love poems one after another, ranging from sunshine and rain to longing and yearning, as if they always have endless words to say.

Li Ruyi was also led by him to let go.

At first I was embarrassed and only answered a few questions, but recently my letters have also been filled with a lot of useless nonsense.

She collected the letters and put them in a special box, which now has a small layer of space.

After Han Shian left, Li Ruyi seemed to become even busier.

She cleaned up the small courtyard for making sugar, and also had to buy a lot of things. She bought what was available, and if it was not available, Li Ruyi had to make it herself.

When the work was almost done, A Cai returned home.

Even if Ah Cai got married, she would not be carefree for the future. She also wanted to find a job here with Li Ruyi.

It just so happened that Li Ruyi was also short of a manager here.

The eldest sister is definitely going to go with her now. In Sanjia Village, the only person she trusts is Acai.

A Cai had never been a manager before, but thinking that Granny Ding and Li Jixiang would help her, she also wanted to give it a try. Although she was a little worried, she still agreed.

Li Ruyi told her some things that she should pay attention to when being a manager, for example, the work she does is different from before, and the things she is responsible for are no longer tedious physical work.

But you still have to understand what you should understand, otherwise people are lazy and there will always be people who try to be lazy and are easily fooled if they don’t know anything…

Ah Cai listened carefully.

Li Ershi waited until Li Shiwu brought Acai back home and then set off for the provincial capital.

The shops in the city have not been cleaned up yet and need someone to keep an eye on them.

Li Ruyi lived in Sanjia Village for a while and built the framework.

During this period, Li Shiwu collected a lot of medicinal herbs and furs.

However, Li Ruyi now had a little more money, so she kept all the herbs. The third child was forced by Granny Ding to make the medicinal powder with her.

Li Jixiang also followed suit and learned while taking a break from his busy schedule.

We can ask someone for help with this matter, but there are not many women in the village who know about medicinal herbs, so the more we help, the more trouble we may end up making.

Li Ruyi only wanted to open a grocery store, not a pharmacy. Not many of these things were needed. With the addition of the third brother, the production speed of the two could basically meet her expectations.

Granny Ding had a way of dealing with the third child. After she prepared the amount of powder Li Ruyi needed, Granny Ding would teach her a strange secret recipe, either a poison recipe or a drug...

After all, it can calm the third child's impetuous heart.

This time, the third sister was so busy that she couldn't even take care of her friends. Only Sun Xiaohua, who was equally busy, could meet her occasionally.

Sun Xiaohua is not very old, but because she gets along well with the third brother, she has a playful personality that is not found in ordinary girls in the village.

She is very suitable to be Acai's deputy.

Acai is more cautious than domineering, while Sun Xiaohua is young, but has watched the head of the village handle things since she was a child, and has been with Li Ruyi for a while. Although she has never been a manager, she has made up for the missing part of Acai with her talent alone.

Not only do the two complement each other, A Cai also realizes that Sun Xiaohua will never remain silent in Sanjia Village.

She also followed Li Jixiang to find books to read, and tried hard to learn things that she had never dared to touch before.

Even Li Shiwu had a lot of ink in his stomach...

Of course, these are all things for later.
