Qin Muwen named the newly bought brother Xiaocha.
When Xiaocha first arrived, his face was covered with ashes. Yesterday, Qin Muwen simply didn't let him work. Instead, he let him take a shower, told him the rules, and told him to tidy up the house and rest.
Li Jin was sitting on the side drinking tea, looking at the young man with a straight face, and said, "Our family's rules are not big, but we have to abide by them..."
In fact, what Qin Muwen said was nothing more than the rules of not stealing and not disturbing the master's reading.
After he finished speaking and got Xiaocha's response, he didn't let him work, "You rest today, and I will tell you what to do tomorrow."
"Yes, master."
After Qin Muwen finished speaking, he realized that Li Jin had been looking at him with a smile on his lips. After he approached, he asked in a low voice, "A Jin, am I being too fierce?"
Li Jin pinched his face and said, "It's not fierce, but the effect of the lecture is good."
Their family members are relatively easy-going, but they are also worried that the slaves will bully the masters, so this is a must.
If Xiaocha does things neatly, then they will naturally take good care of Xiaocha. But if he has any crookedness, he has to teach him a lesson.
However, Xiaocha is young and doesn't have so many thoughts about going around.
Coupled with Qin Muwen's disarming power, he would not dare to betray the master's family easily in the future.
On the first day of June, after Li Jin finished class, he was about to lift his feet to eat, but he did not expect that the students in the academy would rush to the Confucian Temple.
He stopped Zou Xiujie and said, "What is this?"
Zou Xiujie said: "Release the list! Brother Li Jin, last month's assessment rankings were posted on the back wall of the Confucian Temple. Everyone should watch it."
Zou Xiujie originally thought that Li Jin would go with him, but he didn't expect Li Jin to turn around and see that he was walking in the direction of the academy's chef.
Li Jin said, "I'm not in a hurry to see the rankings. Since everyone has gone to see the rankings, I should be able to buy beggar chickens this time."
Beggar chicken is so delicious that even if you queue up later, you can't buy it.
Zou Xiujie was silent for a while, and actually felt that what Li Jin said made sense.
He said, "Brother Li Jin, I'll help you see the ranking. Would you like to order a beggar chicken for me?"
Li Jin smiled and said, "Deal."
Recently, in order to lose weight, Zou Xiujie took Chen Xiran to eat a lot of vegetarian meals together, and now it has reached the point of 'smell (listen) meat and swallow saliva'.
Li Jin heard the voice in his throat and said, "Why don't you go and order food first, and I'll see the ranking."
Zou Xiujie obviously wanted to know more about the ranking, he said, "I, I'm not hungry... Gudong..."
Li Jin was silent for a while, and did not speak any more, and went to prepare to buy beggar chickens.
Chen Xiran came late and didn't eat the beggar chicken, so he robbed Li Jin and Zou Xiujie of a chicken leg each, in order to soothe his heart that he happened to be stuck in the fourth-to-last place in Class C.
Zou Xiujie: "...No, you don't have to miss work, what's the injury?"
Chen Xiran plausibly said, "I'm panicking!"
Saying that, he grabbed Li Jin's wing tip again, "This one passed the exam without saying a word, I have to come here to cheer up."
But at the same time, Chen Xiran also distributed the braised pig trotters he bought to Li Jin and Zou Xiujie, which was really a sumptuous all-meat feast.
When Li Jin went to the math department again, Pan Youfeng looked at him with incredible eyes.
Pan Youfeng doesn't seem to have a memory, he forgot how he broke up with Li Jin last time, and now he came up to him and said, "It's strange, you don't have red blood in your eyes, and the bottom of your eyes isn't dark. How do you study at night, how do you get so good in the exam?"
Li Jin doesn't know whether to comment on Pan Youfeng's inattentiveness or scheming at this moment. I really don't know how he can say hello so naturally after offending people every time.
Li Jin didn't plan to break up with him completely, and said, "I will review my homework every night when I go home, and I won't wait until the end of the month to crawl."
Pan Youfeng was silent for a while, and complained bitterly to Li Jin: "It's better to be young. I'm at my age, and I have a wife and children at home. How can I have time to study after I go back at night?"
Li Jin said: "Now that the teachers have not come, you can make use of this time, and you don't have to wait for the evening to review your homework."
Pan Youfeng was silent, and before he could make any move, Li Jin had already started copying the arithmetic book, with a serious look on his face and no distractions.
Pan Youfeng suddenly realized that the gap between himself and Li Jin was not in his background or age, but in his attitude towards learning.
It is precisely because of Li Jin's seriousness that Wan Jiaoyu is optimistic about him, and has discussed arithmetic problems with Li Jin more than once.
Once Pan Youfeng even heard Li Jin ask Wan Jiaoyu a very simple question, which was so simple that Pan Youfeng knew the answer himself.
Pan Youfeng originally thought that Wan Jiao Yuhui would dismiss this and said, "You can't even know such a simple question, how can you be a teaching assistant in the Department of Mathematics?"
But for that question, Li Jin couldn't get the correct result with the arithmetic knowledge he had learned before.
Wan Jiaoyu didn't tell Li Jin what he said. Instead, let him explain his thoughts first, so as to guide him step by step and correct the misunderstanding of Li Jin's thinking.
How can it be so easy to change the habitual thinking of people
At the end of that day, Wan Jiaoyu's own annotation task did not move at all, and all his time was spent discussing a 'simple question' with Li Jin.
At the end of the discussion, Pan Youfeng couldn't understand what they were talking about.
I always feel that they made a simple question too difficult.
Pan Youfeng has now completely given up the idea of competing with Li Jin.
That afternoon, Pan Youfeng followed Li Jin out of the math department.
He caught up with Li Jin and apologized to him: "Li Jinxian brother, what I did was wrong before, I hope you can ignore the previous suspicion."
Li Jin's apology to him was within prediction, because Pan Youfeng looked at him frequently all afternoon, and even hesitated several times.
Li Jin guessed what he wanted to say to himself at the time, and sure enough, he had waited for it now.
"it is good."
However, it is one thing to disregard previous hatreds, and it is another to be able to become close friends.
It is worth mentioning that, under the encouragement of Li Jin, Pan Youfeng will complete his daily tasks on time, and will no longer deliberately go to teach him his presence.
He was able to steadfastly come down to study, and the teachings also saw it, and the 'replacement of teaching assistants' document that had been drafted was also smashed and burned.
In the blink of an eye, it's June 6th, which is Xiao Baozi's first birthday.
Chen Xiran prepared the birthday gift early, and asked Li Jin to bring it back to Xiaobaozi.
"Tell the little bun that I will come to see him after Mu Xiu in three days."
Zou Xiujie was a step late and said, "I'll come back to give the little bun a birthday gift when I'm at Mu Xiu."
Li Jin smiled and said, "Don't bother to prepare gifts. The courtesy is light and affectionate. If you can come, the little bun must be very happy."
When Li Jin returned that day, he found that the little bun had an extra longevity lock.
Yin Huanghuang's lock has the shape of a small monkey, and there are three hollow silver beads hanging from the bottom. There is a copper ball in it, and a slight movement can make a crisp sound.
Qin Muwen hurriedly said, "This is the first birthday gift for Xiao Baozi brought by the village chief."
He took out a letter and presented it to Li Jin, "There is also a letter from the village chief here."
Li Jin quickly took it apart and looked at it. He knew the custom of giving longevity locks, that is, biological parents could not give longevity locks to their children, and the person who gave them should be the elderly in the family or the godparents of the child.
Previously, Li Jin thought that his buns had no longevity locks.
Unexpectedly, the village chief sent it to him!
"Li Jin, Zhan Xinjia. How hard is it to study in the academy? Are the neighbors of Fucheng friendly
Li Zhuzi came recently and said that Li Ruo was about to turn one year old and asked me to send a long-life lock to ensure that Li Ruo's life is safe and smooth.
Lock the monkey and carve it for Li Dahe, it is meant to…”
The village chief wrote two whole pages of paper, mentioned the names of many people, and even said that the three silver beads under the longevity lock were sent by Xiao An.
Li Jin was greatly moved by this, holding the letter for a long time and reluctant to put it down.
He asked, "Did the person who came to deliver the letter say when he would return?"
Qin Muwen replied: "I said, he will go back by boat in the early morning in three days. But he said he will come again tomorrow, and you can tell him whatever message your husband wants to bring."
Li Jin said, "There is no need for a verbal letter. I will write a reply."
When Li Jin first settled down before, he sent a letter to the village chief, but he didn't receive a reply, and Li Jin gradually forgot about it.
Who would have expected to receive the longevity lock that the villagers gave to Xiao Baozi!
He immediately strode to the study, wrote a two-page reply letter, folded it, and said, "Let Xiaocha buy some letter paper tomorrow, and let him take it home after it's packed."
Qin Muwen nodded in response, "Husband hasn't had dinner yet, I made steamed fish, let's eat it together."
Now there is Xiaocha to help take care of the buns, and the two can eat together again.
After all, Xiaocha was young, and Qin Muwen didn't let him do heavy work. The most is to buy groceries and clean the yard.
When it comes to cooking, Qin Muwen doesn't like fake hands.
At first, when Xiaocha was buying vegetables, Zhao Shuang was there to guide him and tell him how to choose vegetables.
"Don't worry about the price. The officials here hate the hawkers who cheat the most. They won't give you a small amount of money."
Xiaocha quickly wrote down that he was a well-behaved child, and he knew that the master was kind and kind to him, and he did his best to do everything the master asked.
After eating, Qin Muwen showed Li Jin the birthday gift that Zhao Shuang gave to Xiao Baozi.
"It's a jade pendant that wards off evil spirits and keeps you safe. He said that the pattern on it is Pixiu, a very ferocious mythical beast."
The material of jade is common, not expensive, but it is also very careful, and it is just right for neighbors.
Qin Muwen said, "A Jin didn't come back at noon. Shuangshuang taught me how to make sweet and sour tenderloin, which is delicious. I will make it for A Jin tomorrow."
Li Jin smiled and agreed.
He has obvious muscle lines now, plus enough exercise, and he doesn't eat pork like he did in the early days, but only eats eggs and fish.
After the anniversary ceremony, Zou Xiujie, Chen Xiran, and Zhao Shuang all gathered together. Although Zhao Shuang was a brother, he behaved like a bold man, walking with the wind.
Zou Xiujie even said to Li Jin in private, "He, is he really not a man?"
Just as Qin Muwen came to add hot water to the teapot, he accidentally heard this sentence.
Zou Xiujie quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that others are not good..."
Qin Muwen smiled and shook his head at the time, intending to represent that he would not speak out.
But at night, with a sad look on his brows, he said to Li Jin, "A Jin, your classmate is right. Shuangshuang has changed a lot in recent days. I feel like he... seems to have made a decision."
After a pause, Qin Muwen said again, "I'm a little worried about him."
