After hoarding billions of goods and traveling through the book, he farmed in another world to suppo
Chapter 9 Are you controlling me before I even get married?
Xiao Li stayed up all night and worked in the space all night.
One-tenth of the originally bare land has now sprouted green shoots.
Of course, these were not planted by his own hands, but by operating various machines.
After finishing his work, he drank a few cups of spiritual spring water. Not only did the fatigue from working all night disappear instantly, but he also felt as energetic as if he had just woken up from a good night's sleep.
Outside the house, Li Jinhua fed the livestock and cleaned the house inside and out.
She looked up at the sky and estimated that it was the end of the Chen hour. Then she walked to the door of Xiao Li's house on the east side of the yard and knocked gently.
"咚咚-"
"Li'er, are you awake?"
Xiao Li originally planned to take a shower before coming out of the space, but after hearing Li Jinhua's voice, he came out directly.
"woke up."
While responding to the old lady, he went over and opened the door.
Li Jinhua looked him up and down, and seeing that he was in good spirits, she felt relieved.
"The medicine is ready, and the porridge is warming in the pot. Grandma will bring it out for you."
"Grandma, I'll just go get it."
Relying on his height and long legs, Xiao Li took the lead and walked into the kitchen.
Li Jinhua shook her head and did not fight with him. She walked in behind him, opened the cupboard and took out a chipped bowl.
"Pour out the medicine and let it cool for a while. It's just right to drink it after eating the porridge."
"it is good."
He poured the medicine out of the medicine jar, and Li Jinhua scooped up all the porridge from the pot and put it in a large bowl. He took a bowl in each hand and turned to leave.
The old lady followed him slowly, holding a wooden spoon.
As soon as he sat down, Xiao Li noticed that the old lady took a wooden spoon and obviously had no intention of eating with him.
After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Have you eaten?"
Li Jinhua smiled and nodded. "It's already so late. How can I work on an empty stomach? Eat it. This is specially reserved for you."
Xiao Li looked at the sky and stopped talking.
It was only around nine o'clock in the morning. He had never gotten up so early, whether before or after the apocalypse.
Of course, there are exceptions.
It was only at this time that he realized that his original body usually got up at dawn to help with the housework at home.
There were no lighting tools in this era, so farmers had to race against time to work in the fields during the day and would not rest until dark.
Work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise. The experience summed up by the ancient working people has never been aimless.
The same goes for the Xiao family.
After breakfast, Xiao Shugen and Xiao Laosan went to the fields, while Lin Cao took Bao Ge'er to pick wild vegetables. Li Jinhua stayed at home to clean the house and feed the livestock, and by the way, she would look at the time to wake him up...
Xiao Li felt a little embarrassed when he realized that he was the only one in the family who got up late.
But it’s okay, just a little.
Seeing that he didn't move while holding the spoon, Li Jinhua thought he had no appetite, frowned, then got up and went to the kitchen to get some chopped pickled vegetables.
"Did you lose your appetite because you're taking medicine? This pickled radish was just taken out of the jar. Eat it with the porridge. It's enough to fill your stomach."
Xiao Li was slightly stunned, "Thank you, grandma."
"What are you thanking me for?" Li Jinhua gave him a reproachful look, feeling both relieved and satisfied. "We're one family, yet you're still calling us two families? This is going to chill Grandma to the bone!"
Xiao Li knew very well that his grandmother did this on purpose, and he was happy to cooperate.
"Well, there won't be a next time."
"Look how serious you are! Grandma is just joking with you!"
The grandmother and granddaughter chatted for a while, and then the old lady started talking about business.
"Li'er, what are you going to do with the gift I promised to give to Brother Yuan?"
Afraid that he didn't understand what she meant, the old lady explained it briefly.
"The gift we gave to Lu Youfu back then was far more than what anyone in the village could give. Now it's Brother Yuan'er's turn. What do you think about this?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li first recalled the original body's decision to make with Lu Youfu.
The original body valued Lu Youfu very much, and the gift he paid was more than five times the normal amount for the villagers.
Now that he has broken off his engagement with Lu Youfu, no matter who he gets engaged to, he will inevitably attract attention.
No, maybe even if it happened a long time ago, as long as he was engaged, someone would always notice it.
After all, the village is so small, and every household has some connection with each other. If there is any disturbance, it will spread to everyone in no time.
Just like when Lu Youfu wanted to cancel the engagement, most of the village knew about it in just a short while.
This was in the backward ancient times when there were no communication tools. If it were in modern times, we would not know how fast the speed of transmission would be and how wide the scope would be.
As the other party he was engaged to, I think no matter who it was, they would be compared with Lu Youfu, not to mention that the other party was Lu Youfu's cousin, a notoriously ugly guy in Yangliu Village.
Thinking of the other party's angry look as he stood up for him, Xiao Li couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips slightly.
Although there is no emotion, the boy is handsome and has a clear mind, so it is worth considering him more.
"Prepare two of the gifts I originally ordered for Lu Youfu. One is for the Lu family, and the other is for Uncle Lin. Don't worry about the rest, grandma. I will prepare another gift for Brother Yuan."
After all, Li Jinhua had lived for more than fifty years, so how could she not understand what he meant?
This is to allow Brother Yuan and his little father to give an explanation to the Lu family, and also to allow them to receive the betrothal gift without being laughed at.
As for the additional gifts that Li'er mentioned, as it was a matter for the young people, an old woman like her would not get involved.
Li Jinhua knew what was going on, patted her legs and stood up.
"Okay, I'm relieved that you understand. I'll go outside and talk to everyone so they know about the cancellation of the engagement between our family and the Lu family.
I can’t let anyone spread bad words about you and Brother Yuan when you’re engaged, because that would affect my grandson’s chances of taking the imperial examination.”
After saying this, the old lady was about to go out in a hurry.
Xiao Li quickly called the man over.
"Grandma, I'm going to the city soon. If you don't see me back at night, don't wait for me. I might stay at a classmate's house for the night and come back tomorrow."
Hearing this, Li Jinhua paused, turned back to the house and found two taels of silver for him.
“It just so happens that when you go to the city, you can stop by the clinic to check your injuries.
Don't be frugal with the money. If it's not enough, ask someone to send a message back and ask your third uncle to send the money to you.
The oxcart has already left by now, so don’t save the money when you go there, just rent an oxcart instead…”
The old lady explained everything in detail, as if it was his first time going to the county alone.
Xiao Li listened patiently, agreed to everything, and then set off for the county.
At that time, cows were still a rare commodity. In Yangliu Village, only the village chief's family and Xiao Laofu's family, who specialized in driving ox carts to carry people, had cows and ox carts.
On weekdays, basically people who want to go to the city at the beginning of the morning hour will wait at the village entrance. It won’t be long before Xiao Laofu will drive out with an ox cart, pick up the people and go to the city.
It was already 9:00 PM, and Xiao Laofu's oxcart had already left. If they wanted to rent a car, they would have to go to the village chief or go to the next village. Xiao Li chose...
Go on foot.
As he reached the entrance of the village, he saw a thin figure in front of him walking with difficulty, carrying a backpack. He looked no different from the young man who saved him.
Xiao Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly caught up with Lu Yuan, held up his backpack, and took it off and put it on his back while he was stunned.
The boy was obviously startled, his beautiful eyes widened as he stared at him angrily.
"Why are you so scary?"
"Really?" Xiao Li raised his eyebrows.
Seeing his stubborn look, Lu Yuan snorted angrily, then turned around and walked forward, with no intention of taking the backpack back.
Seeing this, Xiao Li curled his lips and chuckled, then walked slowly behind the young man.
"What did you bring? Why are they so heavy? Aren't you afraid of being crushed?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan turned around and glared at him again in annoyance.
"Why do you have so many problems? You should take care of yourself first! You fell and lost so much blood in the head yesterday, and you dare to go to the city alone today, aren't you afraid of something happening on the way?"
As she was speaking, Lu Yuan suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at him with a troubled look on her face.
Xiao Li looked at his troubled little expression with great interest, thinking it was so cute that he wanted to pinch it.
I don't know what it feels like?
Although he is thin, his face still looks a bit fleshy. I think it should feel good to touch?
When Lu Yuan came back to his senses, he met a pair of eyes staring at him thoughtfully, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Before he could do anything, his face was pinched hard.
he:"???"
Which lecher is so shameless? How dare he flirt with a decent woman in broad daylight?
After a closer look, he saw that everything was fine. It was his future husband whom he had just tricked into marrying.
It’s okay!
"Snapped--"
Lu Yuan slapped his hand away and stared at him with a red face.
"Why are you like this!"
It should have been an accusation and rebuke, but Xiao Li felt as if the boy was just acting like a spoiled brat. Really...
Squeamish!
He coughed dryly, clenched his restless hands into fists, and walked past the boy as if nothing had happened.
"What does this look like?"
"You! You! Lecher!"
Because he makes a fool of himself all day long, Lu Yuan is not popular, so no one wants to associate with him, let alone quarrel with others. No one talks to him, so how would he know how to curse?
Of course, the swearing of a shrew like my grandmother doesn’t count.
Young Master Xiao has lived for more than thirty years, and this is the first time he has been called a "lecher". He actually found it quite amusing.
He glanced at the blushing boy with a half-smile and walked towards him deliberately.
"Okay, you said I was a scoundrel, so I am a scoundrel. Now I'll show you what a real scoundrel would do."
Xiao Li thought that he would be scared and retreat or curse, but he didn't expect that the boy who was ashamed and angry just now was now glaring at him with his arms crossed.
"I am your savior!"
This little girl doesn't look like she's afraid of him at all.
Xiao Li suddenly felt his hands itchy again, and finally couldn't help but pinch the boy's soft cheeks again.
Lu Yuan was stunned and stared at him blankly.
Is this still the gentle and polite scholar? Is this really not some scoundrel pretending to be a scholar?
Xiao Li found it interesting, and when he didn't react, he pinched his adorable cheek again.
This time Lu Yuan reacted, grabbed his hand and bit him.
There was a sharp pain in his hand, but Xiao Li didn't even frown. He was even in a good mood and coaxed the annoyed little brother.
"Does one bite relieve your anger? If not, bite twice more."
Lu Yuan: “???”
What kind of idiot is this? How could someone actually ask to be bitten?
Meeting the boy's expressive eyes, Xiao Li narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him dangerously.
"What bad things are you saying about me in your heart?"
"how do you know?"
"Ah!"
Following a mocking sneer, Xiao Li spoke with a sarcastic snort.
"I didn't know before, but now I know."
“…”Oh no, I fell into the trap.
Lu Yuan quickly shook off his hand, took a few steps back and stared at him warily.
"I am your savior!"
"and then?"
"You can't repay kindness with enmity!"
Xiao Li was almost laughed out of anger by him, and reached out and picked him up like a chick.
"What are you hiding from?"
"What if I don't hide from you and you hit me?"
The boy opened his big innocent eyes, blinking at him, but his eyeballs were rolling around.
After a moment, perhaps he thought of something, the boy bit his lip, held his hand and shook it gently.
"I didn't scold you, so you can't hit me, right?"
Xiao Li snorted coldly, feeling both angry and amused. "What gives you the confidence to think I will hit you?"
"Ah?" The young man looked confused. "Don't all men like to beat their women? And I'm an unpopular man, so I can only be a husband. Isn't that more likely to be beaten?"
Xiao Li: "..."
Xiao Li didn't want to talk.
What kind of feudal ideology is this? Who made this rule...
Wait, this really seems to be the feudal era. There is nothing wrong with the boy’s feudal thinking. The problem is me.
“…” The clown turned out to be himself.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Lu Yuan thought that he really wanted to hit her, and her eyes turned red with grievance.
"I saved you, why did you hit me?"
"No, I don't hit people." Xiao Li paused and rubbed his head, "I don't hit my husband."
"Really?" The boy's eyes seemed to light up.
Who can remain indifferent when facing such a pair of beautiful and clear eyes?
Xiao Li nodded lightly, "Really, I'm not lying to you."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt relieved and immediately let go of his hand and backed away until he could no longer reach her.
"I believe that the scholar will not lie!"
“…” If you were closer, he would believe it.
Seeing him staring at her expressionlessly, Lu Yuan smiled at him awkwardly and quietly stepped back.
“…”Okay, now it’s confirmed.
Xiao Li snorted in annoyance, but didn't really bother with him.
After all, my real age is twice his, so why would I bother with him about this? I was just teasing him on purpose.
Lu Yuan also realized belatedly that he was teasing her, and her mood inexplicably became cheerful.
He walked beside Xiao Li, looking up at him from time to time.
"How's your injury? Is it a problem to carry so many things? Or should I do it myself? You..."
Xiao Li avoided his movements and looked at him with a smile.
"You're already controlling me before I even get married?"
"Who, who cares about you!"
The young man said this with a blushing face and ran forward. Xiao Li chuckled and followed him quickly.
"I am the one who likes it, okay?"
"!!!"
Lu Yuan turned her head and glared at him fiercely. Seeing that his mouth was about to open to speak again, her hand covered his mouth faster than her brain reacted.
"You are not allowed to speak!"
