Bandit Reborn

Chapter 31

In the early morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Li Huaixi was woken up by Lin Yichen, "Little lazy pig, don't sleep, you won't even be able to eat breakfast if you sleep again."

Li Huaixi opened his eyes in a daze, he was always sleepy, sleepy in spring and autumn, nap in summer, sleepless in winter and March, he was always sleepy after time travel, he couldn't remember whether he was also at this age in his previous life In this way, he was too busy at that time, as if he had no time to get sleepy.

The maids filed in, and Li Huaixi had someone wait her to put on her clothes. After getting out of bed, she found a new pair of boots on her feet. "Where are my shoes?"

"Don't worry, I didn't throw it away. I washed it for you and put it away. The snow outside is so thick that your shoes will get wet after walking for a while." Lin Yichen knelt down and pressed Li Huaixi's boots, and felt that the size was quite suitable. They came back last night At that time, he asked the craftsman in the mansion to do it overnight. At that time, Li Huaixi was sleeping in the dark, and he was lying on the bed to measure his feet.

"Where's my cat?" Li Huaixi glanced at each maid's chest, but didn't see his fat cat.

"Isn't that there?" Lin Yichen pointed to the quilt on the bed, a big bulge was lying down together, and the fat cat was still sleeping.

Li Huaixi was relieved, and raised his head to let the servant girl wipe his face. With the hot towel splashed on his face, he fell asleep again.

After breakfast, Li Huaixi got into the carriage and went to the school. Lin Yichen said that something happened in the yamen, so he went to pick him up at noon, and then he would bring his cat back. After the fat cat got up, he buried his face in the rice bowl. Don't worry at all.

Li Huaixi is not worried about his cat, he is worried about his homework, he spends most of the time during the half a month of Chinese New Year playing, and he might not be able to satisfy his husband if he takes the school exam seriously.Lin Yichen brought him a book, but he didn't need to read it. He closed his eyes and reviewed his homework sentence by sentence in the carriage.

Li Long and Li Hu arrived earlier than him, and he was very happy to see him enter the door. Li Huaixi distributed the little golden bells to his two brothers, and the three brothers each had two. Li Huaixi also showed off his little golden bells. A younger sister who was born, Li Huaixi turned her head back to her seat with a gloomy face.

"Which pot is not open, which pot do you carry! San'er doesn't like Xiao Si'er, can't you tell?!" Li Long hit Li Hu.

"But that's my younger sister too. I can't always dislike her. I think Si'er is much prettier than before." Li Hu scratched his head, very worried about the conflict between his third and fourth children.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry. Didn't grandma say that my sister will laugh in two months? Let's wait." Li Long was also worried.

On the first day of school, Li Hu was slapped as usual. Li Long made great progress in his homework, and the teacher praised him a lot. Surprisingly, Li Huaixi was also slapped, although he answered better than other students in the class. fluent.

"Do you think I can't tell the difference between ten points of merit and one point of merit? I punished you a little today, and if you continue to do so in the future, ask your father to refund your tuition early!" The husband reprimanded him sharply after hitting the board.

Li Huaixi blushed with shame, "I know I was wrong, and I will definitely remember my teacher's teachings in the future."

The gentleman snorted with an uneasy expression on his face, and nodded for him to sit down.

When school was over, the eldest brother Li Long took his two younger brothers to ask for leave from his husband. Li Long felt very embarrassed to ask for leave on the first day of school, but Li Si was born on such a date, and they couldn't help it.

After the master granted the leave, he stopped Li Huaixi alone, "Are you not satisfied with beating you today?"

"I'm not dissatisfied. The teacher taught me that I had to review my homework on the road this morning." Li Huaixi lowered his head and told the truth, he knew he could do better.

Mr. stroked his beard and nodded, "You are talented and intelligent. Naturally, my expectations of you are higher than others, and the requirements will be stricter. You must know this. You are a sensible child, and it is okay for you to be playful at this age." It is reasonable, but you must learn to control yourself, and you must not waste the good time, you know?"

"Understood, sir." Li Huaixi replied respectfully.

"Okay, you go. This Yi Chen, you go and call him in, do you think I didn't see him?" The husband suddenly raised his voice, and he just glanced outside, just in time to see Lin Yichen who was poking his head.

Li Huaixi snickered and called County Magistrate Lin to Mr. Lin Yichen sneered, "I saw Mr. teaching the students outside the door. I was afraid of disturbing Mr., so I waited outside the door."

"Hmph, the carriage in the morning belongs to your family. Huaixi must have been abducted by you again. He is young, so are you too young? You have been an official for a year! Hold out your hand!" ——The county magistrate again Once I had a difficult time with Li Huaixi, rubbed my palms and said goodbye to my husband.

"Do you still have the medicine I gave you last time? Find it out and wipe it on me later. I was never beaten when I was studying, but I will be beaten with you when I become an official." On the carriage, Lin Yichen rubbed his palms Complaining, after rubbing his own, he picked up Li Huaixi's little hand and looked at it, "Why didn't you complain of pain today?"

"Mister only hit me once, and hit you three times." Li Huaixi answered him with a smile while hugging the cat.

Lin Yichen threw down Li Huaixi's hand when he heard the words, and felt that he had died unjustly.

When we arrived at the gate of Li’s house, the magistrate was waiting in the carriage. Li Huaixi went back to fetch medicine for him. Lin Yichen glanced out of the car window. The courtyard of Li’s house was exactly as Li Huaixi said. There were plates and bowls everywhere, several times. A woman in her thirties was busy in the yard.

After a while, Li Huaixi came out, followed by Li Chengkui, the head of the family.

"Caomin pays homage to the county magistrate, please come and sit inside." Li Chengkui bowed to the bottom of the car.

Lin Yichen quickly got out of the car, and supported Li Chengkui with both hands, "Uncle Li, you are too polite, your family is busy today, and I have business in the yamen, so don't bother me."

Li Huaixi was laughing with a medicine bottle next to him, and Lin Yichen had a large red mark on his outstretched hand. The master hit the board very accurately, and the three boards all fell on one place, and they are now swollen.

Li Chengkui also knew that his family had nowhere to go, so he didn't force it after a little concession. The youngest son had already explained the reason why the county magistrate was waiting outside, so "Uncle Li" was polite, and said that he had something to do inside and asked the county magistrate. The magistrate gave it to his youngest son to receive him. Anyway, the county magistrate didn't come to understand the people's sentiments.

After Li Chengkui left, Li Huaixi smiled and dug out a small piece of ointment and smeared it on the county magistrate's hand. At the end, he blew on him like his grandma did to him. As a result, half of Lin Yichen's body stiffened and he smirked for a long time.

"Let's go, magistrate, or a bunch of people will come to kowtow to you in a while. My father is really brave enough, he is not afraid that if you agree to come down, he will really come to sit at home?! Our house is full of people. I'm not going to anyone, I have to jump in." Li Huaixi put away the ointment and put it in his pocket again.

"Your mother won't beat you, will she?" Lin Yichen glanced into the yard.

"No, there are so many people in the family, she can't find a place where there is no one to beat me." In fact, Li Huaixi is not sure, but he doesn't want Lin Yichen to intercede for him again, that would be better than being beaten.

"Then I'm leaving, and I'll see you again in a few days. There are a lot of things going on in the Yamen this year." Lin Yichen was reluctant to part.

"Let's go, who wants you to come and see me, I'm busy here too." Li Huaixi curled her lips, blaming Lin Yichen for her playfulness in her heart.

"He has no conscience!" Lin Yichen scratched his little nose, turned around and got into the carriage.

Lin Yichen got into the carriage and walked a long way before turning back and beckoning to him. Li Huaixi got impatient after paying back twice, made a grimace, turned around and entered the gate, Lin Yichen closed the window with a light smile, and told the groom to leave quickly. A lot of things came out during lunch time.

Li Huaixi raised his legs high and stepped lightly, carefully avoiding the pots and pans in the yard.There is a temporary stove in the yard more than when he left, and the stove in the kitchen is also burning. A fat chef is busy in full swing. He will cook all the big dishes such as chicken, fish, and pork today. Well, Liu Quan is busy with a job he has done once - dyeing red eggs.

"Huaixi, please help me, I have more than 100 dyes!" Liu Quan begged himself "Master" with a bitter face.

"I have made progress, I will count to more than one hundred, and continue to work hard." Li Huaixi entered the room avoiding Liu Quan's red hand very shamelessly.

Grandma was busy arranging the new clothes for Li Si to wear tomorrow, but Li Si was not as big as expected, and while tidying up, grandma was muttering, "Isn't it going to look like an opera singer tomorrow? What can I do with this hat?" ah……"

The old lady couldn't stop crying, Li Huaixi secretly put the bought pearl flower on the old lady's head, he had good eyesight, the bought pearl flower matched the old lady's gray hair very well.

"What are you doing on my head?" Grandma pulled out the bead flower in doubt, and immediately exclaimed after taking a look, "Hey! My good grandson is wearing flowers for grandma! Hey~ My good Grandson!" Grandma was so happy that she kissed Li Huaixi's face several times.

"Grandma, you look so pretty. I bought two for you. You can wear them differently. Do you like this one?" Li Huaixi took out the other one as well.

"I like it, I like it, grandma hasn't worn flowers for many years, of course I like it! Good grandson, did you buy it for your mother? Yesterday you lied to grandma, and your mother didn't even know that you ran away." Grandma and grandson are together, pointing in the direction of the east room and whispering to myself 'good grandson'.

"I didn't lie, she hummed by herself, didn't she say to hit me?" Li Huaixi also lowered her voice, the grandfather and grandson were like two underground parties connected.

"Where does she have time to hit you, buy it or not? If you buy it, give it to your mother, if you don't buy it, give this one to your mother. Grandma just has one."

"I bought it. I'll send it over later. Grandma, come with me. I'm afraid." Li Huaixi pulled his grandma's skirt and acted coquettishly.

Unable to hold back the grandson, grandma put down her work and followed Li Huaixi to the east room. Li Huaixi's mother really didn't have time to beat him. Li Si, who was born prematurely, kept suffering from minor illnesses. He had some diarrhea in the past two days. After exiting, the air inside made him really unbearable.

In the evening, the cook finally finished his work, and the aunts and aunts in the village who came to help also went back. There were several rows of large and small pots in the yard, which were filled with various finished and semi-finished products. The elbows and chickens were all whole. It is marinated, bright in color and full of meaty fragrance, large and small meatballs have also been fried once, and these can be reheated directly tomorrow. There are no green vegetables in this season's banquet, only washed radish and cabbage are filled in two big pots.

Li Hu and Liu Quan smelled it next to each other. They hesitated for a long time in front of the pot of croquettes. Before they could make a move, grandma came out of the kitchen with the dishes. It doesn’t work, don’t worry about it. Wash your hands and eat, I’ll leave a portion for you all, silly boys.”

The two greedy ghosts who were caught cheered and went to help grandma serve food. Li Chengkui came out and covered the food with an empty basin, and put stones on it to prevent wild cats from coming to eat at night.Even if there were no stray cats, Li Huaixi's fat cat was the number one enemy of the family. That guy had been squatting on the wall and staring at it until he saw that Li Chengkui was all on the rocks before returning to the house meowing.

The next day, Li Chengxiao and his wife came earlier than the cook, Li Huaixi was taken out of the bed to make room, and the female guests were arranged to eat in the house, so he couldn't sleep in today.Li Huaixi originally wanted to sleep in his mother's room again, but his mother kept teasing Li Si who couldn't laugh all morning, humming and singing, Li Huaixi came out after lying down for a while.

Before the banquet started, there was a ceremony of shaving the fetal hair. Li Si's few hairs, which were not much at all, were shaved off, making his baldness look even more ugly. Lucky fortune and treasure' showing off the happy event of having a younger sister.

After burning the hanging whips, people who came to express their congratulations came to the door one after another. At this time, people don’t pay much attention to gift money. They usually bring congratulatory gifts, most of which are eggs and rice. Those who have a good relationship bring more. What I want is ten eggs and ten catties of rice, which means perfect.

Li Si's full moon wine, Li Huaixi's uncles and aunts also came, and almost all the children were brought by each family. Even after the new year, these children were still very good at eating. Li Huaixi once again saw the magic of chopsticks. The skills of the second uncle's family are the most profound, and they can tie seven or eight small balls at a time, which makes Li Huaixi amazed and ashamed.

The aunt brought her son and daughter with her this time. During the Chinese New Year, the shopkeeper who taught Yan Li to manage the accounts went back to her hometown. It took a few days to come back to catch up with the heavy snowfall on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.His cousin Yan Li looks after his mother. He is white and clean and looks good, but he sits there wearing satin clothes and doesn't speak and smile. He doesn't talk when he sees people. His temper seems to follow his father's. Li Huaixi went over and said a few words to him. Then he ran to follow Cheng An.

The banquet was too chaotic, and the aunt, who usually had no worries about food and clothing, left the banquet after a few bites. Sitting on the kang chatting with her younger sister, she thought of the clothes on Li Huaixi and Li Long and Li Hu, and blamed her, " Did you make Huaixi's clothes? Just his own? You are not afraid of others poking your stepmother's back!"

"Where can I afford such expensive materials! They were all sent by the county magistrate. They said they were the clothes of the county magistrate when he was a child. They were brought over in the Lin family's carriage a few years ago. The big and small boxes were carried several times. , everyone in this village knows, don’t worry, no one is gossiping.” His mother was holding the baby and breastfeeding, and after a while of filming, Li Si fell asleep, and the two sisters leaned together to talk privately.

"The magistrate of the county is the disciple of Mr. Huaixi's current husband. We remembered our Huaixi in Liu Quan's case last time, and I don't know why he caught his eye. Isn't that a big boy? I took it out to play, and I took it away again the day before yesterday, and I just sent it back yesterday, including a bunch of Jin Kezi and Jin Douzi, and the pair of golden bells on my waist were also given by others." His mother Li Huaixi pouted, She wanted her youngest son to give up the pair of golden bells to his sister, but Li Huaixi was so unwilling to roll around, so he picked up a needle and thread and sewed the belt on.

"Ah? So generous?!" The aunt was a little surprised when she heard this. She is weak-tempered, but she is not stupid. She has seen more things than her sister in the country. At this time, she felt a little worried, "What is this picture? No? Let's see Huaixi, the sons of this rich family don't care about men and women, and the beautiful boys are better than girls in their eyes."

Li Huaixi's mother was taken aback, she couldn't believe it, "No, no, Huaixi is only this old, no, sister, don't talk nonsense, let people hear you."

At this time, Li Huaixi's three aunts came into the house to see the child together after eating. The second aunt and the third aunt were all loud. After a while, Li Si woke up and cried. Several women coaxed the child together. What's the matter? I can't say anymore.
