Quick Transmigration: Leisure

This meal is not easy to get for free.

In front of Li Xing was a plate of fragrant fermented black bean sauce with chili peppers. He noticed that Xia Youmi and Tao Pu only picked at the vegetables in front of them and didn't even glance at the chili peppers.

Li Xing swallowed hard, but still reached for his chopsticks.

"Teacher, maybe... don't..." Tao Pu's kindness came a little late; Li Xing had already stuffed the whole chili pepper into his mouth.

As I tentatively chewed a few times, just as I was about to relax, my brain suddenly swelled up, and pain and spiciness swirled around in my mouth.

Teacher Li's fair skin visibly turned red.

"Ugh..." Xia Youmi and Tao Pu exchanged a glance, each trying to suppress their laughter.

"Okay, eat it." Li Xing squeezed out a compliment through gritted teeth.

"Teacher, have some water." Tao Pu handed the water glass that was on the corner of the table to Li Xing.

"Thanks."

Li Xing's years of elegance and refinement prevented him from making any impolite move; he only discovered the secret after drinking the water.

There were a few green leaves floating inside; they were mint.

The coolness from the peppermint water quickly brought him back to his senses, preventing him from bursting into tears.

Taking advantage of his height, he noticed that the other two people hadn't added mint to their drinks, which made Teacher Li find it somewhat amusing.

He dug his own grave.

"Teacher Li, do you like this flavor? I've cultivated quite a few more; I can take some back for my sister-in-law to try later." Xia Youmi said with a serious expression.

"Cough, thank you. This breed is amazing," Li Xing exclaimed, fighting off her dizziness. She added, "I'm not married yet."

"Haha, these chili peppers are cultivated by us; this is the second generation." After Xia Youmi finished speaking, Tao Pu also looked proud, as he had personally participated in pruning and pollination.

Unbeknownst to them, Xia Youmi had steered the future business tycoon toward agricultural production research.

Not a single bit of talent was wasted.

"Teacher Li is a local. Does she have any relatives here?" Xia Youmi continued the conversation, taking up another topic from before.

She always felt that Li Xing had a secret.

Moreover, it can be directly or indirectly connected to oneself.

Upon hearing this, Li Xing's expression gradually cooled down. To an unperceptive person, it would simply be assumed that the other person had relieved the spiciness, rather than recalling some unpleasant past event.

“I… left home when I was young to study elsewhere. There’s no one left at home.” Li Xing buried his head in his food, trying to hide the increasingly dejected look in his eyes.

It was filled with unbearable guilt and remorse.

Throughout his studies, all his pride and achievements were earned with "dirty" money sent from his family.

All of this made him feel guilty.

Thus, Li Xing abandoned his promising future and, despite the pleas of many good teachers and friends, left the bright and illustrious university in the capital.

Return to the bottom of this well, surrounded by mountains.

To teach this youngest generation.

It is hoped that this act can commemorate the deceased and protect their potential descendants, so that they may have a brighter future.

Among these children, Tao Pu was not only the most likely candidate, but he was also exceptionally talented, no less so than he had been in his youth.

Furthermore, he is resilient and has an elder who can guide him correctly and take care of him.

He was simply the perfect person for God to atone for his sins.

His gaze was always unconsciously drawn to the child, and he fantasized about how happy he would be if his family were more harmonious.

"I'm sorry." Upon hearing Li Xing's words, Xia Youmi and Tao Pu both subconsciously showed apology and sorrow.

The child remained silent and refilled the teacher's glass of mint water.

Xia Youmi got up, took the plate of chili peppers, and then did some simple processing.

I put a piece of tofu in, added sugar and aged vinegar, and sprinkled sesame seeds on top.

Wait until it reappears with a new look.

Xia Youmi and Tao Pu reached for the dish with their chopsticks, and gestured for Li Xing to try it as well.

Although the spiciness has been reduced, the effect is still very direct.

The three of them sobbed, releasing their emotions while watching the DVD.

By the time we finished preparing this dish, it was already dark.

"Teacher, it's too late, please stay." Tao Pu changed out of his tear-stained clothes and tugged at Li Xing's sleeve, hoping that the other party would stay with him for the night.

Li Xing's heart softened, and considering that her eyesight wasn't very good at night, she decided to stay.

He rolled up his sleeves and deftly began chopping wood. Tao Pu went back to his room to finish his homework for other subjects, while Xia Youmi boiled water, lost in thought.

After Li Xing had neatly stacked the firewood, he was about to ask if there was any more heavy work to be done when Xia Youmi disappeared. He could only pick up a broom and sweep the entire yard.

On the other side, Xia Youmi walked to the door of a neighbor's house. This family was kind and had no bad intentions. They often exchanged vegetables and rice.

"Aunt Kang, have you eaten yet?"

"Oh, Xia, you just finished eating? What's up?" Aunt Kang said warmly. She liked Widow Xia quite a bit; she was reliable, capable, generous, and good at managing things.

Whenever we need to exchange vegetables at home, Xia always provides high-quality, fresh produce; she never tries to take advantage of us.

They can also occasionally gossip.

Recently, Hu Xiaodan has been causing trouble, and she has watched quite a few of Xia's antics as Xia scolds people away. Xia is even getting better and better at scolding people.

They are truly good neighbors, both spiritually and materially.

"Here's what happened. Xiao Pu accidentally fell and hurt his leg at school, and his teacher brought him home. We invited him to have a simple meal to thank him. We've been eating for a while now, but the teacher is nearsighted and can't see well at night, so he told him not to go home and to stay with Xiao Pu for the night."

Xia Youmi took a breath and continued:

"The teacher is very quick-witted. She needs to take a shower, but we don't have any men's clothes at home. I was thinking of borrowing a set from Aunt Kang to make do with for now. I'll have Xiao Pu bring it back to you later."

"Yes, yes!" Aunt Kang understood everything upon hearing this, and immediately agreed, pulling Xia Youmi into the yard to wait.

Less than three minutes later, Aunt Kang brought over a set of relatively neat men's clothing and handed it to Xia Youmi, instructing her, "Tell the teacher not to worry, anyway, my man doesn't deserve anything good. You can send it when you have time."

Uncle Kang laughed awkwardly from the side.

Xia Youmi thanked the two of them repeatedly and then took the clothes back.

She was used to leaving traces of her actions, and rather than letting the villagers guess why a male teacher stayed overnight at their house, she preferred to tell them herself.

Aunt Kang is at least a smart person.

I would not deliberately spread rumors or fabricate stories about her.

These past few days, Hu Xiaodan has been acting strangely, coming over every now and then to hurl insults.

Xia Youmi initially retaliated with insults, but later, annoyed, she simply went out every day to avoid her.

The man was shrewd; the moment he saw her about to open the door and attack, he ran faster than anyone else, making it impossible for her to hit him.

Today, I also encountered a strange blacksmith, and I felt that there were signs of an impending storm.

She had quietly asked Tao Pu, and the beating and injury were just accidents. Li Xing's motives were reasonable enough; if he was good, he could help fight the enemy; if he had problems, he should at least have informed the neighbors beforehand.

So that if they were to be harmed, the other party could escape unscathed.

The second day of the second lunar month.

The frogs in the fields have already started croaking, and tonight they seem especially loud.

It caused many people to lose sleep.

Someone quietly left a trail of marks at the door.

That direction,

Direct access to the large well.
