The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 17 Training the younger brother

Looking at this joyful scene, Lin Xi narrowed his eyes and smiled: That’s right, this is the atmosphere that a paradise should have!

"Fellow villagers, please go back and have dinner. I will call you when the next batch of Schisandra chinensis is ripe!"

Everyone thanked Lin Xi again and then went home to eat.

In front of Chen Yan's courtyard, Liu stood there looking towards the rice field. As she was shy about being a widow, she did not mingle with the crowd. Her house was only three meters away from the rice field, so she could see the situation over there clearly.

Seeing her son sitting at the square table and carefully calculating the money for everyone and distributing copper coins, his little face was full of pride! She smiled with satisfaction!

After the crowd dispersed, Chen Yan happily picked up the backpack and ran towards his yard!

From a distance, he saw his mother leaning against the door and smiling at him! He quickly quickened his pace and rushed to his mother!

"Look, mother, we got one tael and five cents of silver! Sister Lin Xi asked the shopkeeper to exchange it for copper coins for us!" As she said this, she raised two large strings of copper coins in her hand and laughed at Liu.

"That's great! Now we have enough tax money! There will even be a lot left over!" Liu smiled and wiped her tears.

At this time, Chen Yan's stomach made a few gurgling sounds!

Liu pulled Chen Yan over distressedly and said, "Come, Yan'er, come in with me. I cut half of the fish you brought back yesterday and stewed it. Eat more and replenish yourself. You've worked hard these past few days!"

As they spoke, the mother and son entered the yard. Chen Yan quickly and swiftly moved the dining table out and put the stools in place. Liu scooped a bowl of fish meat for Chen Yan, which was piled up to the top.

"Mom, you should eat more too. Don't be reluctant to eat it. I can sell another batch of Schisandra chinensis in a few days. I will buy meat for you then!" Chen Yan said happily.

He saw that there were only a few pieces of fish in his mother's bowl and most of it was fish soup, so he quickly got up to scoop out the fish for her!

Liu took the bowl with satisfaction, and the mother and daughter ate lunch happily!

After dinner, Chen Yan saw his mother rummaging through boxes and drawers and found a piece of deerskin. He asked in confusion, "Mom, what are you doing with this piece of skin?"

"Lin Xi not only took us to harvest Schisandra chinensis and helped us solve the tax problem, but also gave us fish and meat. Mother is really grateful, but she has nothing good to repay her. So mother thought of using this deerskin to make a pair of boots for Lin Xi to express mother's gratitude!" Liu said softly.

"Okay, when mom is done, I'll send it to Sister Lin Xi. Mom's needlework is so good, Sister Lin Xi will definitely like it!" Chen Yan said happily.

In the afternoon, Liu sat in the yard basking in the sun and making boots for Lin Xi. She felt warm all over, and felt much lighter. She was in a very good mood!

Chen Yan sat aside, cleaning his hoe and finding the sprouted ground eggs sent by the village chief, preparing to plant them tomorrow. He had been busy harvesting Schisandra chinensis these days, and had not planted the ground eggs yet!

At this moment, at Chen Fugui's home, his family had a lively and happy meal after returning from the rice field.

Chen Fugui's wife took out a pottery jar from the old and paint-chipped cabinet and carefully put three strings of copper coins in it. Then she hid the jar in the cabinet and covered it with old clothes.

After finishing all this, he walked out of the house briskly, went into the kitchen, and helped Daya light the fire.

It turned out that Chen Qing had caught some small fish from the creek these past two days, and Daya wanted to dry them up and give them to Lin Xi to eat.

She cleaned the fish neatly, marinated it with wild pear juice and salt, and her mother came in to help light the fire, and the mother and daughter began to work on the kang!

At the moment, Lin Xi was completely unaware of all this and was explaining to his family that he had earned one thousand taels by detoxifying the young master!

"Xi'er, is it appropriate to collect so much silver?" Cao frowned and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, mother! Rich people like them have precious lives! 1000 taels of silver is not a lot! If I don't give him a way to detoxify, he won't live for a few more years and will have to suffer from the cold poison every day!" Lin Xi comforted Cao.

"Xi'er, this man is of noble status. The person who could poison him must also be of ordinary status. Will this cause trouble?" Lin Dayong asked anxiously.

Hearing this, Cao also looked at Lin Xi worriedly.

"Dad and Mom, don't worry. We have agreed that I will only go there once tomorrow when he detoxifies for the first time. I won't have to go there again in the future! They also promised to keep it a secret and just pretend they have never seen me! Tomorrow I will pretend to sell herbs and go to see Shopkeeper Zhou!" Lin Xi looked at his parents and comforted them.

Seeing that everything was arranged for their daughter, Lin Dayong and Cao both breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

They looked at the 1,000 taels of silver on the table and thought: "My daughter is so capable. She makes money so fast!" They suddenly had a fortune of 1,000 taels of silver.

The couple looked at each other and unanimously decided that their daughter should keep the money she earned herself! So Cao asked Lin Xi to keep the banknotes!

Lin Xi did not refuse and took the banknotes neatly!

Through this period of medicinal bath and acupuncture treatment, Lin An's body has basically recovered.

In the afternoon, Lin Xi took his younger brother out of the yard and began to really train him!

"Lin An, every time I call you, you have to shout loudly. Do you hear me clearly?"

"I understand, sister!" Lin An replied loudly.

"There are no sisters during training! There is only the captain! Call me captain!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Lin Xi first took Lin An to stretch his muscles, and then took him to run around the village, running 10 laps!

After running, back at the foot of the mountain, Lin An was so tired that he was panting heavily! Looking at Lin Xi again, she looked relaxed without blushing or panting!

"Lin An!"

"arrive"

"Louder! Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Here!" Lin An stretched his neck and shouted hoarsely.

"Rest where you are! Relax!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Lin An rubbed his sore and trembling legs and took a breath to rest!

"Okay, let's start practicing frog jumps now!" I had just rested for half a quarter of an hour when I heard the voice of the "captain" ringing in my ears.

"Follow my example and put your hands behind your back..."

“1、2、3……20、21、22…非常好,坚持!”

"Okay! Great, one more!"

"Come on! Lin An, is this your limit?"

"Break through yourself!"

"Do you still want to be a sick little cat? Keep jumping!"

"49, OK, one last one!"

Lin An's hands and feet were shaking, his head was buzzing, and the voice of "Captain" kept echoing in his ears! He felt that his sister was a devil now, too strict!

When he heard the word "the last one", he jumped forward with all his strength. After completing the action, he collapsed from exhaustion and lay on his back on the ground!

"Get up and stretch, or you'll get cramps and it will hurt you to death!" Lin Xi said, pulling him up without any gentleness!

Lin An resigned himself to his fate and followed the "captain" to start stretching...
