Now that Li Jin has made up his mind to integrate into this society, he will naturally talk to the people around him.

He seems to have a special magical power, that is, as long as he takes the initiative to talk, he can quickly integrate into a large group.

Of course, there's actually no magic element involved.

It's just a matter of emotional intelligence.

As soon as Li Jin entered the yard, he saw a dim oil lamp burning quietly by the window.

Only now did Li Jin fully realize that this is a world without mobile phones, computers, internet, and electricity.

There are only earthen houses, oil lamps, windows pasted with oil paper, and a husband who is waiting for him to go home.

People who were supposed to be complete strangers gave Li Jin spiritual comfort in just a day or two of getting along.

A doctor who was always lonely in modern times suddenly found a home in ancient times.

Li Jin rinsed the sickle with water and hung it on the kitchen wall to dry.

He rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands before entering the room.

Qin Muwen was actually very worried about Li Jin, after all, he had to use a scythe to mow the grass.

Li Jin had never touched these things before, so he probably didn't even know how to hold a sickle.

——What if, where did he scratch himself?

If it wasn't for the inconvenience, Qin Muwen really wanted to exchange Li Jin back.

He, as long as he knows that Li Jin loves him, it is enough to have the heart to mow the grass.He can do all the hard work.

After Li Jin entered the courtyard, Qin Muwen waited anxiously for him to enter the house.

But after the footsteps gradually entered the bedroom, they turned to the kitchen, and then the sound of water sounded. Although Qin Muwen was anxious, he didn't make a sound.

When Li Jin entered the room, Qin Muwen almost couldn't wait to hold his hand.

Under the dim oil lamp, watch carefully.

The blisters from the scalded egg custard yesterday are still there, and today I have added a lot of new injuries.

Qin Muwen also had these wounds before. Two years ago, he was also a young master who didn't touch his fingers.

After marrying Li Jin, he was asked to learn how to cut wheat.

It was the first time he had harvested wheat, and his hands were also full of scars, not only the wounds cut by the sharp wheat awns, but also the blisters caused by holding the sickle with all his strength.

Now, Qin Muwen used his calloused hands to gently stroke the blisters on Li Jin's hands and the wounds where red blood could still be seen even after being washed with cold water.

Now, Li Jin's wound is very similar to Qin Muwen's wound back then, but no one cared about Qin Muwen back then.

It will only ask him to continue, hurry up and work hard.

After repeated scratches, bleeding, and pain, now that Qin Muwen was cutting the wheat, his hands would no longer be cut by the wheat awns. The wounds from before had slowly condensed into calluses to protect himself.

He also silently recounted all the things he has experienced in the past two years.

But Qin Muwen has no complaints about this, he is used to it.

Li Jin looked at the pain on the young man's face, and comforted him, "It's just a small wound, it will be fine once I wake up."

He was a doctor back then, and his hands were occasionally cut by sharp scalpels when he first entered the hospital as an intern.Later, with more practice, practice makes perfect.

There are difficulties in every line of work, and Li Jin doesn't have princess disease, so he really doesn't pay attention to these minor injuries.

Qin Muwen didn't talk much these two days, because Li Jin used to look down on his brother's status.

hate him.

He didn't even let him talk to him, as if talking to his brother would lower his style.

When Li Jin talked to the boy before, he basically nodded or shook his head in response.

Only if this action can't answer, the boy will open his mouth and speak softly.

At this moment, the boy forgot the rules that Li Jin had set for himself before, and said, "Small wounds can't be so casual, let alone see water!"

The boy couldn't stop talking, "These wounds will definitely not heal tomorrow, can you put aside the work in the field first, and let's do it together when I can get out of bed."

Li Jin withdrew his hand, scratched the boy's nose, and said with a smile, "I'm not so delicate. I'm the son of a rich man. It's my fault that I didn't do it before. Now I have to learn to do these jobs."

The young man only felt that the tip of his nose was numb after touching Li Jin. He didn't know if this was a normal reaction during confinement or for some other reason.

Perhaps it was because of Li Jin's gentle attitude, there was no previous violence in his handsome brows, only the elegance of a literati remained.

The young man quickly said what was in his heart: "Ah Jin, before leaving, mother said that after 27 months of filial piety, you will take part in the imperial examination...

Now two years have passed, and it is now June, and by September this year, the filial piety period will be over.The beginning of spring in February next year is the time for Tongsheng to try. "

The young man has practiced calligraphy and read books, and an older brother in the family once participated in the imperial examination.

Therefore, he is quite familiar with the imperial examination process, and he speaks in an orderly manner.

Li Jin: "...?"

Isn't this a story of life in the fields, earning money to support a family?Also add a copy of the imperial examination? ?

Seeing Li Jin's suspicious expression, the young man asked in a low voice, "Ah Jin, did you forget?"

Li Jin didn't speak, he was not used to lying.

He really didn't know there was such a thing.

Now being reminded by the boy, Li Jin also thought that when he talked with the villagers, they all praised him as 'really worthy of being a scholar' and 'people who have read sage books are different'...

Li Jin didn't take it seriously at all before, after all, it was all polite words from others, he used to praise other people's children as well as being smart and good at studying.

Li Jin thought blankly, the folk customs in ancient times have been so simple that people don't even exaggerate, especially when they seek truth from facts.

The villagers said that he is a scholar, so he should realize that he is going to take the imperial examination...

Li Jin rubbed the young man's head: "A few days ago, I drank to pieces, and my mind is muddled."

The young man didn't doubt that he was there, and took the initiative to say: "Ah Jin is a scholar, why don't you go to review your homework these days, and when I can get out of bed in a few days, I will mow the grass."

...It turns out that the purpose of making such a big circle is to talk about mowing the grass.

Fearing that Li Jin would not agree, the young man stretched out his hands. Those hands were obviously smaller than Li Jin's, and the palms and fingertips were soft with calluses.

"My hands are not afraid of wheat awns, they can't be cut."

Li Jin stuffed his hand back under the bed: "Your hand is too small, you can't even hold the sickle, I suggest rejecting it."

Now it was the boy's turn to be stunned.

He, he can't fully grasp the sickle with a hemp rope tied around the handle, but he can cut wheat and grass!

After all, Qin Muwen was born obedient, although he still wanted to stick to his opinion, but Li Jin rejected him, and now he is obediently obedient, hiding his hands under the blanket.

Li Jin was pleased by his cute appearance.

Looking at the almost untouched caramel and honey on the low table, only two pieces of candied fruit were missing from the small bag.

Li Jin thought, maybe it's not that the young man doesn't like to eat it, but he thinks it's more expensive and he doesn't want to eat it.

Li Jin went to the kitchen to make a soft-boiled poached egg. There was a caramel in the soup, which tasted a little sweet, just what young people like.

As for himself, Li Jin found that another basket under the chopping board was filled with potatoes, which were roasted directly next to the firewood, and he would turn the potatoes over from time to time.

Just use potatoes as a staple food.

Now he has put fitness on his agenda. He doesn't plan to eat pork and trotters, but trotters can be used to make soup for teenagers, and pork can also be made into braised pork. These are all for teenagers to eat.

If he works out by himself, the meat he can accept is beef, fish, chicken breast, etc.Pork is high in fat, so people who gain muscle should not eat more.

It's a pity that beef is not easy to buy, and now we can only rely on boiled eggs and chicken breast to supplement protein.

Li Jin brought the rice cereal and sugar-watered eggs into the house for the young man.

Children have small appetites, and the excess rice cereal is left for the teenagers to eat.

Li Jin went back to the kitchen to eat potatoes and a boiled egg.

Li Zhuzi just drove the ox cart home at this moment. When his wife said that Li Jin went to mow the grass today, he went to Li Jin's house without thinking about it.

Only now did he feel that this young man who was not close to his relatives was really living like a human being.

Li Zhuzi yelled a few times at the door, and Li Jin went to open the door for him.

Li Zhuzi also knew about the situation in Li Jin's house. There was only one main house, and Mrs. Li Jin must be resting in it.It's not easy for him to enter as an outsider.

So he didn't dislike it, and followed Li Jin to the kitchen.

As soon as he entered, Li Zhuzi was stunned. Looking at the half-eaten potato, he stuttered.

"You, you just eat this?"

In the past, when the tax was high and the output in the fields was not much, every household also ate potatoes to survive.

But now that His Majesty is kind enough to lower the land tax, the peasants in the village have stopped eating potatoes as their staple food for a long time.

Li Jin's expression was calm, without the slightest sign of despair or embarrassment at all.

He said: "For the time being, this is the only way to eat."

When the next batch of medicinal materials is sold for money, he can order some beef and mutton. Seven points of fitness depend on training and three points depend on food. Of course, he has to grasp both ends.

But to Li Zhuzi's ears, it became "my family is poor, I can only afford this".

Li Zhuzi pointed to the pork and pig's trotters on one side, and said, "Isn't there meat? If you run out of rice noodles, go to my house to get them."

Li Jin gave half of the pork belly to Li Zhuzi, and said, "Brother Zhuzi has always taken good care of me, take this as my thank you.

As for the rice noodles, I can't take them for nothing. I made money selling medicinal materials today, so I can no longer accept Brother Zhuzi's help, so naturally I have to settle the score. "

Li Zhuzi hurriedly waved his hands and said no. He was considered to be in relatively good financial condition in the village. He owns a bullock cart and can earn more than 30 yuan a day from chopping firewood.

Not to mention that the daughter-in-law often does some needlework to make money, and the family lives fairly well.

Li Jin said: "I used to be a stupid person, and I did a lot of wrong things. I thank brother Zhuzi for helping me all the time. You must accept this thank you gift.

Although it is very thin, there will always be generous gifts in the future. "

Li Zhuzi had no choice but to accept it. As for Li Jin's generous gift, he really didn't think about it at all.

Anyway, isn't that how neighbors help each other?He took Li Jin's pork, and he would just help Li Jin mow the grass tomorrow.

In the next few days, Li Zhuzi saw that Li Jin would never leave potatoes for breakfast. If Li Jin didn't eat two boiled eggs, Li Zhuzi would really drag Li Jin to his house for dinner.

It's not that the poor can't afford rice noodles, how could anyone abuse themselves like this?

But even if there were eggs in Li Jin's recipe, Li Zhuzi couldn't help but sigh.

"Li Jin can be regarded as loving people now. All the good things in the house are given to the child and husband, and he eats potatoes every day!"

Li Jin: "???"
