issues. She prepared things like stun guns and pepper spray.But these can't be used at all, luckily, there's still a secret weapon at home.In her past life, her grandfather was an old Red Army soldie...Li Laosi shouted at his nephew to bring the clay pot into the tent. When he saw Master Ye come back, he called out, "Master Hou, dinner is ready, we've been waiting for you!"
"Here I come!" Ye Gongzi replied with a smile, stepping forward to enter the tent with him.
Jiayi and Liu Yang had been tossing around all morning, they were really hungry now.
A bowl, bigger than a face, was filled with noodles and topped with two spoons of meat sauce. Both of them were too busy to add any vegetables and held the bowls in their hands, swallowing them in a few bites.
They seemed to swallow without chewing, their throats like they didn't have a door, just shoving the noodles down!
The little ones are quite a handful, eating the old man out of house and home. Old Man Li's head is aching just thinking about preparing enough food for Young Master Ye - it probably wouldn't even be enough to fill their bellies.
Then, he opened his mouth and pleaded with Ye Gongzi, “Master Hou, these two lads often say they want to be soldiers. Why not have someone take them to the barracks camp for a big pot of rice and let them experience military life firsthand”
Before Ye Gongzi could refuse, Jiayì and Liuyang were already jumping up excitedly, "Okay, we agree!"
Young Master Ye was unable to, and could only call for his personal soldiers, leading them down.
Li Laosi hurriedly picked out the meat from the altar and served it all to Ye Gongzi.
"Master, you should eat more and make up for your health. Before leaving, Fu Niu kept instructing me to see if you've lost weight. The little girl practically considers you her father. You should gain some weight quickly, or else when you go back, she will definitely be heartbroken."
Ye Gongzi couldn't help but laugh, this was clearly a jealous father.
He always led from the front, so he rarely ate separately from his soldiers in the barracks. Whatever the troops ate, he ate as well.
He was famished and ate with gusto, enjoying the familiar taste of home-cooked meals.
Two bowls of noodles with half a pot of braised pork belly and bean curd, he was so full that he had to put down his chopsticks.
Li Laosì and Yéshan, seeing this, divided up the remaining dishes, even pouring the vegetable soup into the noodles and eating it together.
After dinner, Ye Gongzi took Li Laosi out for a stroll to aid digestion.
Li Laosi pulled him to see the things brought from home, instructing and explaining one by one, finally revealing the basket and showing off the treasures like a prized possession.
“Look, these are the winter melon and sweet melons from our home. The emperor named them Jadeite Melon and Golden Fruit. This little maid, Fu Nv, picked them herself. She's a glutton, she's never seen a winter melon before, yet she knows how to pick ripe ones. She always picks the perfect ones, never missing.”
Young Master Ye glanced at Li Laosi, who was full of pride, and coughed lightly.
This father probably has no idea how amazing his daughter is. Not only did she figure out how to grow and harvest the bitter melon, but she even found the bitter melon vines!
And only his uncle knew about this, it was also a secret between him and the little girl!
That said, in the little girl's heart, isn't he more trustworthy than her own father!
Young Master Ye suddenly felt inexplicably superior, and the corners of his mouth curled up, unable to fall.
As he was speaking, a soldier brought several ragged commoners over to bow and thank him.
It turns out that the clash with the barbarians just now was to save these people.
Master Ye asked a few simple questions, then had them taken down and settled.
Li Laosi frowned and asked, "My Lord, are all these people coming over the mountains"
Miss Ye nodded, "The barbarians are rampant, and to avoid them, many people went into the mountains to save their lives first, and then slowly climbed over the mountains to the wharf for help."
Li Lao Si recalled the books he had left in the cave and said, "Since we've arrived here, I want to go into the mountains to get some things."
"What is it I'll have someone get it for you" asked Young Master Ye.
Li Lao Si shook his head and recounted the events of that time, saying, "Although the Guo family's actions are unpleasant, it would be a shame to leave those books abandoned in the mountains. Besides, Jia Ren has entered the academy, and he could find use for them."
Young Master Ye pondered for a moment, then said, "I will send someone back to Kyoto on horseback to ask Mr. Wen. If Elder Guo agrees that your family can copy a copy of the book and then retrieve it from the mountains, then there is no need to take any risks."
Li Laosi also thought this was best. Immediately, Ye Gongzi called Ye Shan and two personal soldiers to run a trip to Xindu and send a message to the Li family by the way.
Now the Guo family only has a semi-paralyzed old man and an ignorant child, who couldn't possibly refuse.
Because they refused, the books could only remain in the mountains. The Guo family had no ability to retrieve them.
As expected, Mr. Wen was delighted to see Mount Ye and learn his intentions. He quickly went to the Guo family's farm.
Guo Shancang is in poor health and can't go out now. One by one, his old friends have become less connected. He is most afraid that one day he will die and his grandson will be left without support.
Mr. Wen came to the door and said he wanted to retrieve the books hidden in the mountains, all for the price of copying a copy for the Li family. He was overjoyed.
With these books, he could arrange his grandson's future.
Two personal soldiers returned to report, so Ye Shan went back to Suijin Beach in person.
When the Li family heard that Li Lao Si was going to the mountains to get a book, they were all worried.
But if they disobeyed the military orders, there was nothing they could do about it.
Moreover, with those books copied out, our family could at least pretend to be a scholarly one.
At the very least, arrange a study for your family members. Having fellow students or friends over would make it even more lively, and having shelves full of books would give it a scholarly air.
Li Laotai could only say, "Let him go. With Young Master Ye around, he'll also arrange for people to help. But Liu Yang is not one of our family children, so hurry and tell Liu Diao a word."
Liu Biaotou's husband and wife were quickly summoned. After hearing the story, they weren't worried at all.
"Lao Si and Jia Yi are both capable, and with Ye Gongzi's help, the mountain road is familiar to them. What could he possibly do At home, he's mischievous; it's best if he does something worthwhile."
The Li family worried too much...
Besides, at Lu'an Academy, Jiarren still doesn't know that Fourth Uncle has already plunged into the vast mountains to get him books.
These days, he has completely adapted to life in the academy.
During the day, Gou Sheng would help him with errands and chores. Although Gou Sheng was clumsy and often made jokes, having a companion made him feel less lonely.
Out of the academy, there's also his third uncle and aunt running a shop with his younger brother.
His shop was so incredibly successful that everyone in the academy knew him because of his food.
During the day it was fine, but in the evening, he and Goureng would go to the shop to help out whenever they had free time.
Students all like to eat the set meals in the shop, the food tastes good, there are many kinds, and it is clean.
Just as school was letting out, a long queue formed in front of the shop. There were no seats left inside, so some people even had to go back to their academy to eat.
Today, my dorm mates are celebrating a birthday. Jiarren invited several good friends to have a meal in the backyard of his shop.
Li Laosan was delighted that his nephew had made a good friend. He got up early that morning to go buy vegetables and prepare the meal.
Jiahuan, after finishing the set meal, immediately busied herself preparing a banquet for her brother.
It was a hot day, so the table was set up directly in the courtyard. Two lanterns were hung, making it quite bright. enough.Of course, thrifty families will continue to save, always thinking about how to support their children's education in the future or start a business.To exercise the children in the village, re...
