At the front is a small courtyard. Except for a path in the middle that leads directly to the hall, it is not difficult to see from the traces on both sides that it is used to grow vegetables in the summer.

In addition to the hall, there are three small earthen houses, a toilet, a kitchen, and a well...

This is probably Li Sanshui, the overall layout of his home.

Pushing open the old wooden door and stepping in, a familiar feeling suddenly emerged in my mind. Some memory fragments of life here kept reappearing in my mind, as if I had experienced it myself.

.

When my parents were still alive, I ran around the small yard carefree, chasing butterflies flying in the air, with a smile on my little face.

After his parents were gone, he rarely smiled as he grew up, and he became taciturn. He just focused all his energy on reading the books of sages.

Because... his parents hope that he can become a scholar, hope that he can stand out and become a useful person.

Li Miao seemed to know the reason why when she heard Zhe Xinyi mention the word "will try", a strong desire suddenly emerged in her heart.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhe Xinyi looked at him with concern.

"Nothing."

Li Miao shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "I just suddenly remembered something."

Along the path, the three of them walked into the house.

What's surprising is that the house is very clean inside, and it doesn't look like anyone has lived in it for a long time.

"Could it be that the villagers here come here from time to time to help him clean?"

Li Miao could only think of this reason.

There is a bed in each of the three rooms. Obviously, one is Li Sanshui's room, one is the room when Li Sanshui's parents were still there, and the last one is the guest room.

The three of them tidied up the three houses, so there was just one room for each person at night.

Li Miao naturally stayed in Li Sanshui's room, Zhe Xinyi stayed in the room before Li Sanshui's parents, and Wu Yong stayed in the guest room.

After taking out the moldy quilt in the room and drying it, Li Miao and the other two went to the county seat again.

Shanghe Village is not far from the county seat, only about five or six miles away.

However, the main reason for going to the county town was to buy Zhe Xinyi and Wu Yong's quilts. After searching the whole house, I only found one quilt in Li Sanshui's room.

......

The next morning, Li Miao squatted in the small yard and rinsed his mouth. His expression did not look as bored as when he just woke up. Instead, he looked energetic.

He slept very soundly last night. It was probably the first time since he came to this world that he slept so soundly.

The three of them had just finished eating the food they brought back from the county town yesterday when an old man came to the door.

This old man is the village chief of Shanghe Village. Li Miao doesn't know his specific name, but he only knows that everyone calls him the old village chief.

Li Miao looked at the old man in confusion and asked: "Old village chief, do you know what you have to do with the boy?"

The old village chief explained: "Young man from the Li family, it's like this. It's an honor for our village that you passed the Jinshi exam. So, the village made a plan and wanted to erect a stone monument for you at the entrance of the village."

, is to highlight your deeds; second, is to inspire the younger generations in our village."

"Boy from the Li family, what do you think about this?"

After Li Miao considered it for a while, he nodded.

Seeing him answer, the smile on the old village chief's face deepened.

"That's right."

Li Miao remembered something and asked: "Old village chief, which neighbor helped clean my house during this time?"

They helped him clean his house, so he wanted to pay him a visit no matter what, just to express his gratitude.

The old village chief said: "It's a woman."

Li Miao: "Woman?"

Zhe Xinyi, who was not paying much attention at first, also looked over intentionally or unintentionally.

The old village chief said: "Yes, there is a woman. She said she is from the county town and she is friends with you."

Li Miao asked: "What is this woman's name? Where is she now?"

The old village chief shook his head and said: "I don't know what this woman's name is. She left after cleaning up your house that day."

Hearing this, Li Miao became even more confused.

Then, he asked what the woman looked like.

The old village chief seemed to have a lack of vocabulary and couldn't explain why. He just said that he was about the same age as Zhe Xinyi, that he was prettier, and that he was wearing a red military uniform that day.

Li Miao: "..."

How can he confirm this?

After the old village chief left, facing Zhe Xinyi's gaze, Li Miao quickly said: "I promise that I have nothing to do with that woman."

"Do you have anything to do with her? What does it have to do with me?"

After saying that, Zhe Xinyi withdrew her gaze, left the hall, and walked outside.

Looking at her back, Wu Yong came over thiefly and said to Li Miao: "Sir, Miss Zhe is angry."

Li Miao glanced at him: "You know?"

Wu Yong nodded with great certainty and said: "I once mentioned another woman in front of Yun'er, saying that she was very nice. At that time, Yun'er looked almost like Miss Zhe just now.

, Yun'er ignored me for the next day."

"I didn't know she was angry until later, so I asked her why she suddenly became angry that day, and she suddenly became angry again."

"I really can't understand why I am so angry for no reason? Sometimes, women are really incomprehensible."

Li Miao: "..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just chose to pat Wu Yong on the shoulder twice.

Then, walk outside.

He wants to make him feel happy.

Looking at Li Miao's back, Wu Yong scratched his head, his face full of confusion and confusion.
