After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

This side of Lotus Courtyard.

Liu Ji and Erlang delivered the pickled radish in time, just in time for Gong Liangliao and Qi Xianguan to have their meal.

Shi Shi asked the kitchen to cut the radishes and bring them to the table himself.

Gong Liangxiao has not been able to go out for a wheelchair these days because of the cold weather. He has not exercised, and his body's energy consumption is low. Naturally, he has no appetite. He is looking at the table full of farm side dishes and thinking about when to go to Qin Yao's house to have a meal cooked by Awang. There was an alluring sour smell coming from the tip of my nose.

It was very fragrant and sour, with the feeling of a variety of spices mixed together. Just smelling it reminded him of the small shop selling pickled goods in Kyoto.

The chef in the house couldn't make all the various dishes in the store, and even if he could make them, they wouldn't taste the same.

When he had a bad appetite in the summer, he would order the kitchen to cook a pot of thick white porridge with the pickles from that shop. He could drink two large bowls of it.

"What's the smell?"

As soon as Shi Shi entered the door, the old man looked over, staring at the porcelain plate in his hand, his expression getting brighter and brighter.

Shitou put the pickled radish down and replied: "Mr. Zhen, this is the pickled radish sent by Mr. Liu. Maybe he knows that you have a poor appetite today, so he sent it specially to appetize you."

Qi Xianguan stood up slightly and took a look. The white radishes were dotted with bright red dogwood fruits, which made him very appetizing.

Gong Liangxiao didn't show off his face, and even if he wanted to complain about Liu Ji, he knew how to do these unseemly tricks, but he stretched out his chopsticks the fastest.

Putting a chopstick into the mouth, the radish was slightly cool, but the fire in the room was strong, so the slight coolness was just right. It was refreshing and crisp. Gong Liangxiao didn't say another word and started eating with chopstick after chopstick.

Qi Xianguan waited and waited, waiting for the teacher to speak and then move his chopsticks.

Who would have thought that the old man couldn't stop eating. After a long time, Qi Xianguan could hardly hold back his saliva and swallowed. The old man seemed to have just remembered him and hurriedly waved his hand, asking him to have a taste too.

The teacher opened his mouth, and the apprentice dared to start. Unfortunately, he didn't taste two pieces. The porcelain plate was as bright as new, but one piece of pickled radish was gone.

Qi Xianguan kept talking. If it hadn't been dark outside and the road was slippery, he would have wanted to take a walk to Qin Yao's house and steal all the radish soaking jars from her house.

Shitou looked at his young master pitifully, and then at Gong Liangxiao, who had a satisfied look on his face as he finished a large bowl of white rice, and secretly winked at his young master, "There's more."

Qi Xianguan was secretly happy. After finishing dinner and accompanying the teacher, he asked Shitou to take him to have a snack as soon as he left the hall.

"Don't worry, Master, I've already prepared the pieces and placed them in your room." Shitou said in a funny tone.

Qi Xianguan happily stepped into his bedroom. The lamps had been lit and two charcoal stoves had been set up to keep the room warm.

A stack of white jade-like pickled radish was lying quietly on a blue porcelain plate, waiting for him to taste it.

Qi Xianguan had a good meal in one breath. He looked up and found Shitou still standing in front of him, looking like he was waiting for something to say. He asked, "What else is there?"

Shitou: "Sir, a big event happened in Kaiyang County recently. Do you want to hear about it?"

Qi Xianguan guessed it in a flash, "Is it related to Liu Ji?"

Shitou reluctantly nodded, "That's right. After all, he is also Mrs. Qin's husband."

That is related to Qin Yao. Qi Xianguan looked confused. She had been managing business at the stationery factory in the village. What did the major events in Kaiyang County have to do with her?

"No one in the village is talking about any big things." Qi Xianguan said puzzledly.

Shitou looked in the direction of Qin Yao's house and sighed deeply, "Sir, not many people in the village go out, so no one talks about it, but in Kaiyang County, it's really lively."

Shitou told his son about the golden toad.

It turned out that one of the Three Evils in Kaiyang County was brutally retaliated and defeated overnight because of a grudge over a hundred acres of land. Everyone shouted for beatings, but this was not even dared to be made up in a play.

The source of all this is Liu Ji and his wife. The news has spread throughout Kaiyang County, and no one can offend this couple, otherwise the Jin family will suffer.

Qi Xianguan was surprised. He didn't expect that the people around him would do such a big thing in the past two or three days.

But he still said objectively: "This is to eliminate harm for the people. It is a good thing, isn't it." Shi Shi also thinks the same about this, but it is very scary to think about it carefully, young master!

"Do you know what the remaining two villains call Madam Qin behind their backs?"

Qi Xianguan shook his head and signaled Shitou not to be too pretentious and to finish speaking in one breath.

Shitou whispered: "The bullies call her the Evil Queen."

A person who usually looks cold-hearted but secretly, out of sight, is a person who takes revenge on the spot, kills people without blinking an eye, and uses ruthless methods. Don't you think it's scary?

Qi Xianguan was stunned for a moment. The evil ghost was actually beside him?

Looking up at Shi Shi's horrified look, Qi Xianguan felt that he was thinking too much.

The young man said seriously: "The bullies call her the Evil Lady because she stands on the side of the innocent people. In the eyes of the people who are being persecuted by the bullies, she is their hero!"

"Shitou, don't listen to those words in the future. They are all made up by poor scholars to deceive people." Qi Xianguan looked serious and warned his subordinates as the master not to demonize the hero.

Shitou hurriedly knelt down, lowered his head and clasped his fists and responded loudly: "I know my mistake, sir, please calm down!"

The room was quiet for a while, and then Qi Xianguan said gently: "Get up."

"Thank you, Master." Shitou stood up and retreated behind the door.

There was only one bookboy left in the room. Qi Xianguan came to the desk and chose a book to read, but his mind was not on the book.

Qi Xianguan suddenly felt that his shameless Junior Brother Ji was a little too normal this time, and he seemed to be alive.

Such a big thing happened, but he didn't come to inform him. What if he had a better way?

After thinking about it, Qi Xianguan decided to learn from Qin Yao and never let himself get in trouble. He put down his books and went to bed. When he got up early tomorrow morning, he would personally ask Liu Ji what the junior brother Liu Ji meant and whether he took him seriously!

The next day, Liu Ji was busy with laundry, sweeping the floor, physical training, endorsements and other tasks at home. He took a bite of hot rice in the middle of the morning and hurried to Lianyuan carrying his book box.

Before he entered, he was blocked at the door by a young senior brother wearing a black cloak.

The cold wind was howling, and Liu Ji's back was tense, and he was shivering from the cold, "Brother, why are you standing at the door and freezing? Come inside and warm yourself by the fire, but I'm freezing to death."

As he said this, he was about to take action. He put his arms around the little senior brother's shoulders as usual and prepared to put his arms around his shoulders.

With a "pop!", Liu Ji was caught off guard and was hit on the back of his hand by a small hand.

Compared to the slap from the evil woman at home, this is a piece of cake and has no feeling at all.

but!

Dignity in ruins!

Liu Ji subconsciously raised his hand to give him a blow. Qi Xianguan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, shouting: "Liu Ji, how dare you!"

The young man's hand raised high finally landed gently on the boy's forehead, "Hey hey hey, senior brother, look at you, your hair is messed up by the wind. Come on, junior brother, I'll comb it for you."

Qi Xianguan snorted coldly, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, Liu Ji did not dare to touch his senior brother's forehead.

So, the senior brother asked the junior brother: "Why don't you tell me when you are in trouble? Do you think I can't help you because I'm young?"

Qi Xianguan approached Liu Ji and added in a low voice: "My uncle is your prince!"

Liu Ji said in surprise: "Then for next year's imperial examination, can you please be accommodating and allow me to pass directly?"

Qi Xianguan stared: "What did you say?!"

Liu Ji was surprised and asked: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

The donkey's lips were not in line with the horse's mouth, and they looked at each other speechless for a moment.

Still, Gong Liangxiao's angry roar came from the courtyard: "Is this class going to be passed or not!"

The two senior brothers looked at each other awkwardly before they started moving again.
