"I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Li Chengxiao shook his head and said.

He heard from his mother, Zeng Cuifen, that the third brother had just married a wife the year before last, and later opened a grocery store in the county town to make a living.

Li Chengren and Li Chengren are both diligent, and they live a decent life.

It was just last month that the third sister-in-law, Fan Lanhua, had just given birth to twins. The family now lives in the past, lest they disturb each other's recuperation.

"Second brother, if you don't go to my place, where else can you go?"

"Could it be possible that you're going to bring the whole family back to the city for the New Year?" Li Chengren asked eagerly.

Both he and Zeng Lizheng thought that the big green brick and tile house of Li Chengxiao's house would not be ready for occupants until after the year.

How did they know that those workers
Seeing that Li Chengxiao didn't want to go home with him now, Li Chengren scratched his head anxiously, they were all brothers, and he didn't know why Li Chengxiao was so awkward.

"Cheng Xiao, just listen to Cheng Ren, go live with him, if you need anything, come to me at home anytime, I will help you solve it." Zeng Lizheng continued to persuade.

Li Chengxiao was hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but Li Junze leaned over and whispered something in his ear, Li Chengxiao's nervous expression relaxed.

"Then let's stay at Chengren's house for a few days." Li Chengxiao compromised.

He turned to look at Zeng Lizheng, and said, "I have something to trouble Uncle."

Zeng Li was waving his hand and said, "Speak directly if you have something to say, we are all a family, why do we need to see outsiders?"

"The workers in my family are all in charge of food. Do you think it is possible to go to your house for dinner in the next few days? Of course, I will pay you ten copper coins per meal." Li Chengxiao said.

Zeng Lizheng nodded, "It's not a big problem, don't worry, our family will definitely prepare meals according to ten copper coins per person, to ensure that there will be meat in every meal."

As the new year approaches, the price of pork, beef, and mutton has risen, and pork is only [-] yuan a catty.

Those who worked at Li Junze's house were paid fifty copper coins a day, but they might only get twenty or thirty copper coins a day for doing these jobs in other places.

Lee Seung-hyo gave each head a copper plate for food, which is probably unprecedented in Daniu Village.

Everything was agreed, and Zeng Lizheng was sent home with a lantern, and Li Chengxiao's family followed to Li Chengren's house.

Zeng Cuifen stayed up and waited in the courtyard.

Seeing Li Chengren bringing him back, he hurriedly went up to meet him.

"How is the second child? Has anyone been injured?"

While speaking, Zeng Cuifen had already checked each one in circles.

"Grandmother, don't worry. We found out early, and everyone ran out early, but a few houses were not saved." Li Junze let Zeng Cuifen feel relieved.

Zeng Cuifen let out a long breath.

"Mother, it's cold outside, let's let the second brother and the others enter the house first." Li Chengren said from the side.

A group of people walked towards the main room, although they were careful to walk lightly, the noise they made still woke up the two children in the wing room.

"Wow—" the baby cried loudly.

"Chengren, I'm going to see your wife and children. You take the second child's family to rest first." Zeng Cuifen ordered involuntarily.

"Okay, mother." Li Chengren responded.

"Mother, I'll help you." Wang Shuanghua said after Zeng Cuifen.

Zeng Cuifen didn't look at her much, just nodded in agreement.

Li Chengren brought Li Chengxiao, Li Junze and Gu Xixi into the hall.

As soon as you enter the house, you can feel that the house has not been lived in for a long time due to the oncoming musty smell.

There is a square table and stools in the middle of the entrance, and the east and west bedrooms on both sides. Gu Xixi doesn't know if this is a common farmhouse decoration in Daniu Village, but the main room of Cheng Miao's house is like this.

There are two bedrooms, one for her and Junze, and the other for her in-laws.

"Junze, what did you say to dad just now? Why did he suddenly agree to come to live with third uncle?"

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Gu Xixi couldn't wait to ask.

Li Junze explained in a soft voice: "I said you have some medical skills. Today when you met the third aunt on the way back to the village, you can see that the baby is weak and premature and the third aunt can't feed it by herself."

"I also said, let's live with third uncle, we can help to buy old hen and ginseng stew, they will not refuse."

"Junze, tell dad about my medical skills, if dad knows that I show up in Rendetang, will he be angry?" Gu Xixi worried.

This is not the [-]st century where she was in her previous life. Female doctors are rare here.

Most people in the world also have prejudices against female doctors.

"No." Li Junze shook his head, comforting Gu Xixi and said, "If Dad knows how powerful you are, it's too late for him to be happy."

"Go to bed early, I have to go to the county seat tomorrow, and I have to buy a lot of things."

"Yes." Gu Xixi replied.

She was not used to the new and unfamiliar environment.

Fortunately, the person next to the pillow is still the same.

The house that has not been lived in for a long time is damp and extremely cold.

Gu Xixi couldn't help curling up in Li Junze's arms, and slowly fell asleep.

On the second day, Zeng Cuifen made breakfast, and the porridge was pickled vegetables.

After breakfast, I informed Li Chengxiao and others that Gu Xixi and Li Junze were going out, planning to go from the village to Tong County by bullock cart.

As soon as he went out, a basin of hot water was poured in front of him.

It was a little maid who came out of the house opposite the door.

"Yo, my hand slipped." The maid pursed her lips with disdain on her face, not intending to apologize at all.

Gu Xixi frowned. Her house has always been the center of disturbance in the village these days. Every time something happens, almost the whole village will watch the fun when they are free.

Now it's the end of the year again, and every household has nothing serious to do, so naturally the whole village is mobilized every time.

Besides, the original body has been fleeing famine with the Gu family to Daniu Village for several years, and he knows Daniu Village very well in his memory.

But she had never seen this little maid in Daniu Village before.

Ordinary farmers don't have spare money to buy a maid to serve others at home. If this little maid is bought back as a child bride-in-law, then it makes sense.

"Zhuang Yan, what are you doing outside? Why don't you come in and clean up the dishes?"

A charming woman's voice sounded, and then, Chai Meng walked out with a big pregnant belly.

When she saw Gu Xixi and Li Junze outside the door, a sullen look quickly flashed across her face.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and close the door and come in." Chai Meng snapped, looking at Gu Xixi and Li Junze with a hint of guilt.

The little maid curled her lips and closed the door, muttering non-stop, "Sister Chai, it's just two country bumpkins, so what if they see us? They don't know us anyway."

The little maid's voice gradually drifted away, it seems that she and Chai Meng entered the house one after another.

Li Junze looked at the tightly closed chaifei, with no extra expression on his face, he just said: "It is rumored in the village that uncle Jinwu hides beauty, this should not be groundless."

"Xixi, let's go faster, we won't be able to catch the ox cart when we go late."

"Well, good." Gu Xixi nodded, was held by Li Junze, and obediently followed behind.
