Female-to-male: I live on farming

Due to limited funds, they only picked out necessary daily necessities. However, as the kitchen at home was really empty, both of them ended up with a lot of things in their hands after buying them.

However, the way home was not as quiet as the way here. The evening in the countryside was the time when farmers were most idle. As soon as they stepped into the village, fellow villagers noticed the two of them.

"Hey, isn't this Qin Ke? Is she going to town to do some shopping?"

Qin Ke looked at the person who came, flipped through his memory, and recognized that the person in front of him was also from Qinghe Village. His name was Song Yaozu, and he was about the same age as Qin Ke.

However, unlike the Qin family who were genuine farmers, the Song family's grandfather was a poor scholar. Even though his family was in decline, he still attached great importance to the education of his descendants. The person chosen for training among three generations was Song Yaozu. The whole family worked diligently on the land to support his studies, hoping that he would pass the imperial examination and become successful.

You have to know that private schools in ancient times were very expensive, and each of the pens, ink, paper and inkstones cost a lot of money.

Qin Ke narrowed his eyes. In his original body's memory, he knew that Song Yaozu said he was studying in a private school in the town, but he often ate, drank and had fun with the rich kids in the town, and did not study hard at all.

"Is there something wrong?" Qin Ke had a cold face. Don't think he didn't hear the sarcasm in the other party's tone. Song Yaozu had stabbed the original body many times before. It was just that he was literate and felt superior to others, so he looked down on the original body, a farmer.

"Didn't I hear from the villagers that you went to the river to fetch water this morning? What? Are you going to live a good life?" Although Song Yaozu was talking to Qin Ke, his eyes were always fixed on Lu Youqing.

Qin Ke frowned, stepped aside to block the other party's offensive sight, and said coldly: "What does it have to do with you!"

Song Yaozu, whose sight was blocked, looked at Qin Ke unhappily, and suddenly found that the person in front of him had become a little different from before, but he didn't take it seriously. He still smiled as before and put his hand on Qin Ke's shoulder, saying: "I'm just concerned about you. When I came back today, I heard from the villagers that you bought a woman from the town. Now it turns out to be true. I said that you are old enough to find a wife."

"But why are you covering your face, sister-in-law? We'll all be from the same village from now on, and we'll see each other every day. Don't be so shy."

When he saw Lu Youqing from afar, he noticed her figure, which was graceful and slender, even prettier than those he had seen in brothels before. He began to think that if she was really a beauty, maybe he could find a chance to taste her.

As he was about to reach out and pull the scarf off Lu Youqing's face, Qin Ke slapped his hand away and took Lu Youqing behind him.

"Be more careful. You have read so many years of books, but have you learned anything? You have not learned any propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, but you are capable of all kinds of despicable deeds." Qin Ke looked down upon this kind of people the most and did not give him any face.

Song Yaozu was stunned by Qin Ke's blow. Qin Ke had no power to hold back. His hands immediately turned red. When he heard the insults from the other party, his face darkened: "Qin, I gave you face, didn't I? You are just a stray dog ​​kicked out by your family. Are you looking for a beating?"

"Then come on. No matter how poor I am, I can support myself now. I'm not like you. You spent your family's money on private school, but you couldn't even pass the exam to become a scholar in all these years. I wonder if your family knows what you do in the city every day?" Qin Ke specifically hit him at his most vulnerable part. While speaking, he took two steps forward and raised his chin to signal the other party that he could take action.

Song Yaozu naturally didn't dare to take action. Qin Ke saw this point clearly. Song Yaozu had never even held a hoe since he was a child. He looked like a weak scholar, so how could he possibly beat Qin Ke.

"You... stop talking nonsense!" Song Yaozu jumped up when he heard Qin Ke's words, and hurriedly looked around to see if anyone else heard their conversation.

His family had long been complaining about the fact that he had failed the imperial examination for many years.

The eldest brother of my uncle's family just got married, and his new wife is not an easy person to get along with. As soon as she came into the house, she wanted to instigate a split in my uncle's family. Why should she let them pay for his studies every year?

In fact, my uncle and aunt had been dissatisfied for a long time. They had originally hoped that he would pass the imperial examination and lead the whole family to prosperity, but after several years, seeing that he had failed, they felt that they could no longer count on him and did not want to invest in him anymore.

After all, my grandfather is old and can no longer suppress the resentment of my uncle's family. This time he came back to inform him that if he fails the exam this year, he will have to go home to farm.

If his family knew what he did in the city, they would no longer support his studies.

Feeling guilty, Song Yaozu no longer had the heart to stare at Lu Youqing. He pointed at Qin Ke angrily and said, "You...just wait for me!"

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Qin Ke, who felt relieved after scaring the man away, turned his head with a smile and saw Lu Youqing staring at him thoughtfully.

"Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Ke touched his face, confused.

"Nothing." Lu Youqing retracted his gaze and continued to walk towards home, lowering his head and whispering, "Won't this cause trouble?"

"It's okay. He won't dare to say anything when he goes back." Fearing that Lu Youqing would worry, he assured her, "Don't worry. I'm a little poor now, but I will never let others bully you."

Protect...? Lu Youqing murmured to herself. Since her mother passed away, no one has said that they would protect her. What kind of person is this person?

Qin Ke didn't know what she was thinking. After returning home, he put away the things he bought and prepared to light a fire to cook some porridge.

In his previous life, he lived alone, so he would study food during his weekends. His cooking skills were pretty good, but now the seasonings and ingredients were limited. But at least he could cook and wouldn't let them starve to death.

He was lighting a fire when Lu Youqing, who had just collected the clothes that were hung out to dry, suddenly walked in.

"I want to learn how to cook from you. I can't rely on you for everything in the future. I have to learn."

She stood in front of Qin Ke and told him why she was there.

Hearing this, Qin Ke felt inexplicably happy. He didn't know whether it was because she implied that she was ready to live with him, or because she had finally given up the idea of ​​committing suicide and decided to start her life again.

But this did not prevent Qin Ke from smiling and teaching her step by step how to make the first meal in her life.
