Chapter 15: 15th

Chapter 15
Now that Li Jin has made up his mind to integrate into this society, he will naturally talk to people around him.
He seemed to carry a special kind of magic power, that is, as long as he took the initiative to talk, he would soon be integrated into a large group.
Of course, there is actually no magic element involved.
It's just a matter of emotional intelligence.
As soon as Li Jin walked into the yard, he saw a dim yellow oil lamp quietly burning by the window.
At this moment, Li Jincai fully realized that this is a world without mobile phones, computers, networks, and electricity.
Only the earthen house, oil lamps, oiled paper windows, and a husband waiting to go home.
He was supposed to be a complete stranger, but in just one or two days of getting along, he gave Li Jin spiritual comfort.
A doctor who has always been alone in modern times suddenly had a home in ancient times.
Li Jin washed 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 house.
Qin Muwen is actually very worried about Li Jin, after all, he needs a sickle to cut the grass.
Li Jin had never touched these things before, and he probably didn't even know how to hold the sickle.
In case, where did he scratch himself?
If it wasn't for the physical inconvenience, Qin Muwen really wanted to get Li Jin back.
He, he only needs to know that Li Jin loves him, and it is enough to have the heart to mowing. He can do all the hard work.
After Li Jin entered the courtyard, Qin Muwen anxiously waited 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, there was no sound.
When Li Jin entered the house, 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 many new injuries have been added today.
Qin Muwen had these wounds before. Two years ago, he was also a young master who did not touch the sun with his fingers.
After marrying Li Jin, he was asked to learn to cut wheat.
It was the first time he had cut wheat, and his hands were also scarred, not just the wounds cut by the pointed wheat awns, but also the blisters that were grinded hard by holding a sickle.
Now, Qin Muwen gently stroked the blisters on Li Jin's hand with his thinly callused hand and the red bloodshot wound even if it was washed with cold water.
Now, Li Jin's wound is so similar to that of Qin Muwen back then, but no one felt sorry for Qin Muwen back then.
He will only be asked to continue, hurry, and work hard.
After scratching, bleeding, and pain again and again, now Qin Muwen cuts the wheat, his hand will no longer be cut by the wheat, the wounds that were once slowly condensed into calluses, protecting himself.
Also silently talked about the various experiences he had experienced in the past two years.
But Qin Muwen had no complaints about this, he was used to it.
Li Jin looked at the distress on the boy's face, and comforted: "It's all small wounds, and it will be fine as soon as I sleep."
He was a doctor back then, and when he first entered the hospital for internship, his hands were often cut by sharp scalpels. Later I practiced a lot before practice makes perfect.
There are difficulties in every line of doing every line. Li Jin does not have a princess disease. He really doesn't care about these small injuries.
Qin Muwen spoke very little in these two days, because Li Jin looked down on his brother's identity before.
hate him.
Don't even let him talk to himself, as if talking to his brother would reduce his style.
Before Li Jin talked to the teenager, he basically answered by nodding or shaking his head.
Only if this action can't answer, the teenager will open his mouth and speak softly.
At this moment, the boy had forgotten the rules 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 as he said, "Morning, these wounds will definitely not heal. You can put the work in the field well, and when I can get out of bed, we will do it together."
Li Jin withdrew his hand, scraped the boy's nose by the way, and said with a smile: "I'm not so delicate. I'm all the kid of the banker. I didn't do it before because it was mine. Now I have to learn to do these tasks.
The teenager only felt that the tip of his nose came into contact with Li Jin, and he felt numb. He didn't know if this was a normal reaction during confinement or some other reason.
Perhaps it was Li Jin's gentle attitude, and there was no previous violence between his handsome eyes, and only the literati elegance.
The young man quickly said what was in his heart: "A Jin, before leaving, my mother said, let you be filial piety for twenty-seven months and then participate in the imperial examination...
Now two years have passed, and it is now June. By September this year, the filial piety period will end. Spring will start in February next year, and it will be the time for the child test. "
The young man had studied Chinese characters, read books, and had an older brother who participated in the imperial examination.
So he was fairly familiar with the process of the imperial examination, and he spoke in an orderly manner.
Li Jin: "............?"
Isn't this a story of living in the fields and making money to support a family? Also add a copy of the imperial examination? ?
Seeing Li Jin's slightly puzzled look, the young man asked in a low voice: "A Jin, did you forget?"
Li Jin didn't speak, he was not used to lying.
He really didn't know such a thing.
Now when he was reminded by the teenager, Li Jin also thought that when he talked to the people in the village, they praised himself as ‘really worthy of being a scholar’ and ‘people who have read sage books are different’...

Li Jin didn't take it seriously before. After all, these were all polite words of others. He used to praise other people's children for being smart and learning well.
Li Jin thought blankly that the ancient folk customs were so simple that they didn't boast too much, especially the truth-seeking.
The villagers said he was a scholar, so he should realize that he was going to take the imperial examination...
Li Jin rubbed the boy's head: "I drank a few days ago, and my mind was chaotic."
The young man did not doubt that he had him, and took the initiative to say: "A Jin is a scholar. If I go to review my homework these days, I will mow the grass after I get out of bed in a few days.
...It turns out that I went around such a big circle to talk about mowing.
The boy was afraid that Li Jin would not agree, so he stretched out his hands. Those hands were obviously smaller than Li Jin. The palms and fingertips were soft cocoons.
"My hand is not afraid of wheat, it can't be cut."
Li Jin tucked his hand back into the bed: "The hand is too small and you can't hold the sickle fully. I suggest you reject it."
Now it was the teenager's turn to froze.
He, he can't grasp the sickle with a loop of twine tied to the handle, but he can cut wheat and grass!
Qin Muwen was born with a well-behaved personality. Although he still wanted to insist on his own opinions, Li Jin refused him. At the moment, he was also obedient and shrank his hands under the covers.
Li Jin was pleased by his well-behaved appearance.
Looking at the caramel and honey on the dwarf table, only two pieces of candied fruit were missing.
Li Jin thought, maybe it's not that teenagers don't like to eat, but he thinks it is more expensive and he is not willing to eat it.
Li Jin went to the kitchen to make a soft-boiled poached egg. There was a syrup in the soup. The taste was slightly sweet, which was what the teenager liked.
As for himself, Li Jin found that the other basket under the chopping board was filled with potatoes, which he roasted directly on the side of the firewood, and turned the potatoes over from time to time.
Just use potatoes as a staple food.
Now he has put fitness on the agenda. He doesn't plan to eat pork and pig's feet, but pig's feet can be stewed in soup for teenagers, and pork can be made into braised pork, all for teenagers.
If he exercises himself, the meat that 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 only boiled eggs and chicken can be used to supplement protein.
Li Jin brought the rice cereal and sweetened egg to the boy into the house.
If the child has a small appetite, the more rice cereal is left for the teenager.
Li Jin went back to the kitchen to gnaw potatoes and a boiled egg.
Only then did Li Zhuzi drove the bullock cart home. He heard his daughter-in-law say that Li Jin had gone to mow the grass today. Without thinking about it, he found Li Jin's house.
Only now did he feel that his untouched young man really lived like a human.
Li Zhuzi shouted several times at the door, and Li Jin went to open the door for him.
Li Zhuzi also knows the situation of Li Jin's house. There is only one main house, and Li Jinfulang must be resting in it. He is not easy to enter as a foreigner.
So he didn't dislike it, and followed Li Jin to the kitchen.
As soon as he entered, Li Zhuzi was stunned, and he stammered when he looked at the half-bitten potato.
"You, you just eat this?"
In the past, when taxes were high and the yields in the fields were low, every household also ate potatoes to survive.
But now your Majesty is kind and has lowered the tax on the land. The dealers in the village have not used potatoes as their staple food for a long time.
Li Jin's expression was calm, without the disgrace or embarrassment of being discovered.
He said: "For the time being, I can only eat like this."
After the next wave of medicinal materials is sold for money, he can order some beef and mutton.
But when I heard this in Li Zhuzi's ears, it became ‘the 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 the rice noodles are gone, go to my house."
Li Jin divided half of the pork belly to Li Zhuzi and said, "Brother Zhuzi has always taken good care of me, so this will be my gift to you.
As for the rice noodles, I can't get it for nothing. I have made money selling medicinal materials today, so I can no longer accept the help of Zhuzi, so I have to settle the accounts. "
Li Zhuzi hurriedly waved his hand and said no. He considered that the economic conditions in the village were relatively good. He had an ox cart and could earn more than 30 wen a day by chopping wood.
Not to mention that the daughter-in-law often does some needlework to make money, and the family's life is fairly healthy.
Li Jin said: "I used to be an asshole. I did a lot of wrong things. Thank you Zhuzi for your help. You must accept this gift.
Although it is thin, there will always be generous gifts in the future. "
Li Zhuzi could only accept it. As for the generous gift Li Jin said, he really didn't mind at all.
Isn’t that how the neighbors help each other anyway? He harvested Li Jin’s pork, and tomorrow he would help Li Jin to mow the grass.
In the next few days, Li Zhuzi saw that Li Jin would never leave potatoes for breakfast. If Li Jin would eat two hard-boiled eggs, Li Zhuzi would really drag Li Jin to his house for dinner.
It's not that poor people can't afford rice noodles, so how can anyone abuse themselves so much?
But even if there are eggs in Li Jin's recipe, Li Zhuzi still can't help feeling.
"Li Jin can be regarded as hurting people now. The good things in the family are given to the child and husband, and he gnaws potatoes every day!"
Li Jin: "???"
