Chapter 5 Fright or Surprise
When the sun sets, the donkey cart finally arrived at Longquan Village, which belongs to Longquan Township, west of Daxing City. Looking north, you can vaguely see the ancient Han Chang'an city in the northwest.
A tributary of the Wei River winds through the village, with green mountains and green trees, crisscrossing fields, small bridges and flowing water, and smoke from cooking stoves forming this quiet small village.
In a trance, Li Feng seemed to have returned to the mountain village where he lived when he was a child, and a familiar and close feeling slowly came to his heart.
After passing the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, dozens of simple houses appeared in front of me. There were more than a dozen naughty children from the village who saw the donkey cart and followed behind, running and shouting. Oh, many little kids were still naked.
That feeling is roughly equivalent to driving a BMW in a remote village in later generations.
Some villagers also came out to look around. They were all coarse cloth short clothes, and women also had thorn hairpins and cloth skirts. They could only live in food and clothing. In other words, in recent years, life was just around the corner. There was no need to endure hunger.
"The head of the family, it's the head of the family!" Someone saw his grandmother get out of the car and immediately shouted loudly, gathering up to greet him. Most of the villagers in Longquan Village were servants and maids from the Li family, and a small part of them were self-cultivated farmers.
Someone also greeted Li Feng: "This is a young man, he is so old."
Li Feng grew up in the countryside since he was a child. This scene in front of him is not only familiar, but also a little kind. He greeted him calmly, asked about the titles of those father-in-law, and could also talk about mulberry and hemp.

"The little husband is so handsome-" and there is also a woman praising her.
Really? Li Feng doesn’t know what he looks like. Since several people praise him, I think his appearance should be quite good.
"Grandma--" A man with thick hands and feet ran in from outside the village. He was barefoot, probably just back in the field. He rushed to Li Zhong with a silly smile on his face.
Li Feng looked at this man in his thirties and thought to himself: This should be Grandpa Zhong’s son.
That’s right, in this era, when sons call their fathers “Aye”. There are poems like “Grandpa has no older son” in Mulan’s poem.
"I'm not sure if I've seen the old lady and the little lady!" Li Zhong said angrily, but the admiration in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.
So, Li Zhong's youngest son Li Hou began to greet him. After a while, he sent a donkey cart to return. The villagers helped to carry a few packages and lead the scalpers to a large yard in the middle of the village.
Compared with the thatched mud houses in front of them, this brick-shaped house is a bit dilapidated, but it is still a standout.
There are two yards in front and back, guest rooms and houses for storing miscellaneous items. It seems that people often clean it up, so it is quite clean.
Li Feng walked around, with a small tail beside him. Nu Nu saw that he was very curious and kept asking this and that. Finally, he stood in front of Li Feng very seriously: "Brother, will this be our family in the future?"
Seeing Li Feng nodding, the little guy immediately clapped his hands: "Oh-Nu Nu has every family again, we have every family again-" Maybe it was a house search, which left a shadow in the little guy's heart.
"Yes, this is our home!" Li Feng felt warm in his heart, picked up the little girl, kissed her in the face, but the little guy was a little embarrassed and buried his face in Li Feng's arms.
Home, yes, only when you have a home can he have roots in this world.
Holding the little guy, Li Feng made up his mind: Since he inherited his body, he must maintain this family well and take good care of the elderly and young girls. It is a responsibility to manage this family better and better!
And a trace of sadness flashed through his heart. He had another home—
"Little husband, little lady, it's time to eat." Li Hou's shout came from behind, and he was leading two and a half-old boys. Both boys were born with a stubborn and a stubborn boy, about the same age as Li Feng. He was holding a clay pot and a pottery basin in his hand. It should be the dinner prepared by their family. There was no fire here for the time being, so he delivered it first.
"Uncle Li, please trouble you." Li Feng was very pleased with the simple family of the village. After asking, he knew that these two and half-old boys were Li Hou's sons, Dahu and Erhu, who were fifteen and thirteen years old, and had not yet got married.
That’s right, in this era, you can get married and have children at the age of fifteen. When Li Feng remembered, it seemed that Empress Changsun was only thirteen when she married Li Shimin. Good thing, Li Er!
Wild vegetable porridge, millet cakes, and scrambled eggs at a small bowl of scrambled eggs - this should be a dish that is added. Ordinary people's meals are definitely reluctant to eat this.
Li Feng could basically guess because Erhu, who was holding this plate of fried eggs, kept swallowing his saliva. I wonder if he was drooling into the dish?
The millet cakes are a bit irritating, and Li Feng is not used to eating them. After all, he is a modern person. After returning to this era, eating braised vegetables is very bad.
We must find ways to improve and improve the quality of life and level! Li Feng has a new goal. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so it starts from the most fundamental way. Food, clothing, housing and transportation must be improved.
After picking a few chopsticks for Nunu and Grandma, he saw that he was very smart. When he saw his brother eating pancakes and drinking porridge, he straightened up and sat down, and put a large piece of egg in his bowl: "Hehe, brother, Nunu has a small belly and can't eat it."
You little devil - Li Feng pulled the eggs and the porridge into his mouth, well, it was quite fragrant.
Even if you feel uncomfortable eating a meal, you don’t have a dining table or chair, your knees hurt. By the way, these daily necessities should be put on the agenda.
When his eyes were dark, Li Hou led his son to come and packed the tableware back. The scalpers that Li Feng rode were also taken back and raised by Li Hou. The entire Longquan Village, plus this cow, had only five in total.
Li Feng noticed that when Erhu was cleaning up the dishes, he seemed to be holding the pottery basin containing eggs and licking it hard, and then smacked his lips in reminiscent.
At this moment, Li Feng's mood was a little complicated.
After dark, I go to bed early. Working from the sunrise and resting from the sun is the most common way of work and resting in this era. As for those who light up the lamp and boil oil, it is unless it is a wealthy family in Daxing City.
The grandmother led the Nunu in the backyard, with Yaksha serving him. Li Feng was in the front yard, Li Zhong and the others were in the wing room, and there were bedding and other things. According to Li Hou, his wife helped dry the bedding two days ago. Anyway, Li Feng didn't feel wet when she was lying on the bed.
After a day of hard work, Li Feng was tired. Just as he was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, he saw the toad spirit pushing the door in and mysteriously approaching Li Feng's bed: "Dalang, what do you think this is?"
After saying that, he suddenly pulled out a string of copper coins from his arms: "Haha, when I was raiding the house, thanks to my quick hand, I hid the money I always had in my arms. Dalang, I'll be smart and I'll keep it for you."
Seeing the boy's stupid look with a big mouth, Li Feng didn't know how to blame him: "Rakshasa, please keep it for me first, it will be used in the next two days."
"Xie Dalang, haha, I have money too!" The happiness of the toad spirit was so simple, and he ran out happily.
Li Feng shook his head helplessly, and then he saw him running back like a gust of wind: "Dalang, I was happy just now, almost forgot that there is another thing, I don't know what it is, Dalang, take a look?"
Luosha, you are finished! Just as Li Feng was about to stare at the eyes, he saw the toad spirit handing over a square thing. Li Feng was so shocked that he jumped to the ground and shouted: "Where did this thing come from?"
