When Wenbo and Wenhao took a break, Li Xin returned to Guihua Village with his younger brothers and sisters.

The house in Osmanthus Village is kept very clean by mother and daughter Lian Zhou and Lian Zhi. The fruit trees in the yard are also growing well. After some flowers have fallen, they have already produced small fruits. There is a vegetable garden behind.

The papaya seedlings planted next to the tree have already grown out and are already very tall at this time.

There are several kinds of vegetables grown in the vegetable garden, which are only for the family to eat, but they are more than enough.

"Sir, the ladies are back." Seeing Li Xin and others returning, Lian Zhou quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Don't be so polite at home."

After entering the door, Li Xin ordered Lian Zhou and Lian Zhi to pick some vegetables to wash. He also asked Zhu Yong to go to the Zhang family and invite the Zhang family over for lunch. Lian Zhou and Lian Zhi might also be at home.

Li Xin had never cooked before, or even cut vegetables. After the vegetables were washed, Li Xin and Yuexiang went to the kitchen to prepare the food.

"Let the herbs come here!" Li Xin was chopping vegetables, but Lian Zhi suddenly said next to her.

"What do you mean?" Li Xin glanced at Lian Zhi. Lian Zhi had never had the consciousness of being a slave. Even after so many setbacks and hardships, her spirit was not diminished. When speaking to Li Xin,

He has always been very arrogant, with a certain arrogance that does not put anyone in his eyes.

However, Li Xin didn't pay much attention to Lian Zhi's situation before. She also felt that Lian Zhi suddenly changed from a high-ranking general's daughter to a low-ranking servant. It would be difficult to adapt to it in a short period of time. If so

, she can also give Lian Zhi some time to adapt. She didn't expect Lian Zhi to help with anything.

Moreover, for Li Xin, she grew up in a previous life and received so much education and influence. Her mentality still retains many of the cognitions from her previous life. Everyone is equal there, although it cannot be said to be complete.

Equality is relative, and human rights are more respected there.

Although there were servants in the family, Li Xin always respected her and never shouted at her. She also taught Wenbo and others to do the same thing as her.

However, Li Xin has always known that she can keep the concept of equality in her heart silently, but she can never speak it out or do it.

At this time, Li Xin suddenly felt that she seemed to have been too indulgent towards Lian Zhi.

"My mother and I don't know how to cook. You don't know how we get here these days. The rice made with vanilla is delicious."

"Just let Xianghua come over and cook for you?" Li Xin did not look at Lian Zhi anymore, but cut the vegetables seriously. Lian Zhi had never recognized her identity. She is now a slave, even if Li Xin

She has never been asked to do anything. But that doesn't mean that Li Xin will let others serve her!

"Yes! You ask Xianghua to come over and cook for me and my mother! Neither my mother nor I know how to cook, so what do we eat every day? If this continues, my mother and I will starve to death."

"Okay, I'll let her come over. I'll give you a month to let Xiang Xiang teach you how to cook. After one month, whether you can learn it or not, I will let Xiang Xiang leave. From now on, you will eat your own meals.

Just cook it yourself, and eat whatever you can make." After Li Xin finished speaking, he ignored Lian Zhi and continued to cook.

When it was time for lunch, the Zhang family also came over, and Li Xin called on Wenbo and others to help set the meal. There were two tables in the main hall, one table was for Li Xin, the grandma of the Zhang family, and Uncle Zhang

Aunt, at the other table were Wenbo and his wife, Xiao Wang and Niu Niu. Zhu Yong and Lian Zhou's mother and daughter were sent out by Li Xin to eat.

"You guys! It's rare that you come back, so don't go to such trouble to cook by yourself. If you don't mind it, just go over to our house to eat. Although the food cooked by my aunt is not as delicious as Sister Xin's, don't mind it so much.

!" Aunt Zhang said while eating.

"The food cooked by Aunt Zhang is delicious. There is no way to say that I dislike it. We are juniors, so there is no reason why we always bother you. If Auntie says that again, it means that I don't think my food is delicious."

Li Xin smiled and gave Aunt Zhang a piece of food.

"Okay, okay, I can't help you either." Aunt Zhang smiled and started eating.

After lunch was finished, Lian Zhou and Lian Zhi put away the bowls and chopsticks, and brought out tea and snacks. Li Xin and the three elders of the Zhang family sat in the hall and talked. Wenbo and the younger ones were already there.

Went to play in the yard. It was rare for a few children to find a good playmate, so they naturally had a lot of fun.

Seeing several children playing in the yard, Li Xin also smiled. How wonderful it is to have such a happy and carefree age!

"When you come back this time, can you stay for a while?" Aunt Zhang asked Li Xin.

"Wenbo and Wenhao have to go to the academy, so they can't stay longer. But Yuexiang, Yueting, I, and I often live in the village. Besides, the village is not far from the town, and Shuhe

When my aunt goes to town, she goes in to sit there." Since things got better at home, it seems that there has gradually been a gap between me and the Zhang family, and there is always less of the close feeling that I had before.

Maybe it’s because the two families are getting closer and their moods are starting to change!

Not to mention other things, after buying a house in the town, the Zhang family often went to the town to attend the market, but they had never been to Li Xin's house. Li Xin had invited it many times, but the Zhang family had never been there.

Li Xin also regretted this situation, but there was not much he could do to change it.

"Go when you have time." Aunt Zhang responded awkwardly.

"By the way, when I come back this time, I also have something to discuss with my uncle and aunt. Xiaowang is not young anymore, so staying in the village is not an option. We can't just cultivate it for generations.

Order the land! I was thinking, can I send Xiaowang to the academy? Not to mention how promising he can be, it would be much better if he could read!" After thinking about it, Li Xin explained the purpose of coming back this time.

"This..." Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up, but he hesitated in the end.

"Baby in the village, it...is...it's not good to go to the academy!" Aunt Zhang also looked very hesitant. Although there is an academy in the town, it has always seemed to be reserved for the wealthy families in the town.

They would send their children to academies. Very few families in the village would do this. Half-year-old children can already help with household chores. Going to an academy would, on the one hand, reduce the labor force by half, and on the other hand, it would also be very expensive.

It’s about money. Most people don’t have enough money, and some people don’t have such awareness.

It seems too luxurious for poor children from the village to go to school in the town.
