"Brother Xin, the wild boar meat tonight is so delicious. The food made by Qi Niang is so delicious. It would be great if I could eat the food made by Qi Niang every day..."

After dinner, night had not yet arrived. Li Xin sent Xiaoli home. Xiaoli praised Su Qi for cooking well on the way home.

Li Xin said intimately: "Su Qi turned out to be a popular honest official in brothel. A woman who was not touching the water of her every finger. In order to raise herself, she forced her to wash clothes and cook, weaving and exchange money for money. It really made her suffer."

"Brother Xin, are you talking to you, what are you thinking?" Xiaoli saw Li Xin being in a daze and did not answer her words.

"Oh, OK, come to your house for more meals in the future."

"Okay, that's what you said."

"Yeah, Yeah, that's what I said."

"By the way, Brother Xin, wait for me tomorrow morning. Let's go and see if we catch the hare?"

"I understand, let's go quickly, it's almost dark."

"What are you doing when you walk so fast? It's not far from my house."

“…”

After sending Xiaoli home, Li Xin turned around and returned home.

Uncle Jiu has already gone back, Su Qi has also washed the dishes and sat in front of the door waiting for Li Xin.

"It's delivered to you." Su Qi asked.

"Um."

"Come on, sit down, mom talks to you."

Li Xin also sat on the bamboo chair next to Su Qi and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Xin'er, you are eight years old, right?" Su Qi asked thoughtfully.

"You know best, Mom." Li Xin was puzzled. Why did he ask about his age? Others didn't know, but as Mom, he was definitely very clear. He was the biological flesh and blood that fell from Su Qi's body.

"The ancients said: I went out when I was eight years old." Su Qi pulled a sentence of classical Chinese.

"What does it mean? Mom." Li Xin really doesn't understand this sentence. Could it be that he has to move out of the house at the age of 8 and live independently outside? Is this the rule of this era?

"It means that you will start studying and learning literature at the age of eight." Su Qi explained.

This sentence comes from "Da Daizha? Baofu Chapter", and the whole paragraph says: "In ancient times, I went out to the house at the age of eight, learned small arts and walked in small details, tied my hair and went to college, learned big arts and walked in big details."

"Oh, read." Li Xin was still thinking during the day today, asking Su Qi to learn literature and recognize words. Unexpectedly, Su Qi took the initiative to propose reading at night. Haha, this is a good thing.

"I didn't expect that it was your Ninth Uncle who reminded me just now. You were General Li's flesh and blood. General Li started to read and recognize words when he was a child and practiced martial arts to strengthen his body. Your Ninth Uncle didn't say it clearly, but I understand what he meant. Your father wanted me to raise you to adulthood, but that's not what you meant, but that's not enough to let you grow up, but you also need to learn some skills."

"Mom, actually... I actually want to study too."

"Xin'er, do you want to study? I haven't heard you say it before." Su Qi was surprised to hear that Li Xin wanted to study too.

"Yes. When I was dreaming, I heard a sentence: Reading changes destiny." In order to make Su Qi easy to understand, Li Xin changed "knowledge" to "reading".

"This sentence is well said, and I want to do it for my mother. If I hadn't studied in a brothel, learned literature, met your father, gave birth to you, and changed my destiny, then I wonder what the outcome would be now." Su Qi agreed with "reading to change my destiny". If he hadn't been educated, he would have long become a prostitute at the bottom and had a flesh-and-despite business.

"Haha, that's the blessing that my mother has cultivated in her previous life." Li Xin said with a smile.

"Studying is actually very luxurious in this society. Only in the aristocratic class and wealthy families can you have the opportunity to study. Your father is from the Li family, and he has been studying literature and martial arts in the family school since he was a child. For example, the children here have the opportunity to study. Fortunately, my mother can teach you. My mother spent 5 years to learn some basics. My son, you are the book boy of Wenquxing in the Heaven, so you naturally learn fast, but you must be cautious and study hard. Basic skills are very important." While Su Qi was speaking, he couldn't help but tease him, "You are the book boy of Wenquxing in the Heaven." This was the two days ago, Li Xin told her the words mentioned in her dream.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." In order to make a name for myself in the world, I will be a hero and righteous person, and save the beautiful women, but I don't read good books. How can I do it?

"Okay, I believe that Xiner will do what he says and what he does."

"Then I won't herd cattle?" Li Xin tentatively said.

"Who will you let go if you don't let go? If someone comes to borrow a cow, you can stop letting go that day." Su Qi said with a smile.

“When will you start learning?”

"The day after tomorrow. I will prepare school supplies tomorrow."

"OK."

The two of them said they were good at studying and started chatting about homework again...

The next day, it was just dawn.

"Brother Xin, have you gotten up?" Xiaoli's voice came from afar.

"It's not dawn yet." Li Xin complained on the bed. Before traveling through time, Li Xin often worked overtime until late at night, which made him sleep in. Now he likes to sleep late, but he didn't expect Xiaoli to come over early in the morning.

"He is still sleeping." Su Qi got up early and was preparing breakfast.

"I'll call him, it's so late, I'm still sleeping..." Xiaoli complained like a little man.

Xiaoli ran directly to Li Xin's bed, pulled Li Xin's quilt away, and shouted: "Get up."

Li Xin was so sleepy that he was completely useless by this shout. Li Xin was wearing only shorts and said embarrassedly: "You go out, I'll wear clothes."

"Hehe... You are not sleeping naked, what are you afraid of? Wear it quickly, let's see if we catch the hare." Xiaoli saw Li Xin's embarrassment, put her hands on her waist and laughed haha, revealing her mouth that had two big front teeth missing, which made Li Xin laugh.

Li Xin said while putting on his clothes: "What a little annoying."

Xiaoli was beside her and kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up, you might run away if you don't go to the rabbit."

"What's the matter? If you catch it, you won't be able to escape."

"But I really want to know if I caught it."

...

Li Xin washed his face. Su Qi's breakfast was not ready yet, and Su Qi said he would go after breakfast.

Seeing Xiaoli's urgent look, Li Xin said, "Forget it, I'll get two more breads of corn cakes and eat this when I'm hungry."

Xiaoli said beside her, "Qianniang, don't worry, we have something to eat from hares. Brother Xin, let's leave quickly."

Seeing Li Xin preparing things, Xiaoli said to Su Qi again: "Qi Niang, can Brother Xin keep his word when he speaks at your house?"

Su Qi was stunned and asked, "How do you say this?"

"My brother Xin said yesterday that if I asked me to have more meals at your house in the future, can he keep his words?"

"For sure, of course, Xiaoli is coming to have a meal. Brother I and I are very welcome to you."

"Okay, okay, I'll have more meat to eat in the future."

Su Qi was also amused by this little foodie.

Li Xin brought a short knife, flint, and a bag of salt before he led the old ox out with Xiaoli.

Salt was a precious product in the era. The salt from many inland vassal states sold very expensively, but salt in Ba is the cheapest because there are two salt farms in Ba, which are very cheap in China and are very expensive to export to other countries. This is also the main reason why wars often occur with neighboring countries.

Xiaoli was anxious to see the hare not caught, and walked in a hurry. After a while, she left, which made her angry, causing Li Xin to make her laugh.

After half an incense stick, Xiaoli and Li Xinli were not far from where they pressed the "gate" and lowered the trap yesterday.

A place more than ten feet away, I heard the cry of "Jijijiji..." coming.

Li Xin said strangely: "How come there is a mouse sound?" Li Xin threw the reins of the old yellow cow, and the two ran towards the rat's scream.

When I was putting my cover yesterday, there was a little mouse with a slap in the hemp rope buckle. Li Xin couldn't help but sigh: "Damn, I'm just a rabbit, but I actually had a mouse. What's the matter?"

Xiaoli walked forward and squatted beside the mouse. The mouse ran around, but couldn't break free from the hemp rope on her legs. Xiaoli looked at it a few times and said, "Brother Xin, is this a little hare?"

"This is a mouse, a fool."

"I told you that I am not stupid, I am a little girl. Why do you always forget it?"

“…”

"Can this mouse be eaten?"

"Too small, no meat."

"That's nothing to eat?"

"Yes."

"Brother Xin, look, this mouse is so cute and prudent. Let's put it on." Xiaoli heard that the mouse was too small and had nothing to eat, so she was kind-hearted and suggested let it go.

"Okay." Li Xin grabbed the little mouse, unbuttoned the buckle on its legs, and placed it on the ground.

The little mouse screamed twice, dragged a wounded leg and crawled into the grass.

"Brother Xin, did you see it? The little mouse is saying thank you."

"You know all this?"

"Hehe, it screamed those two whistle, didn't it say thank you, was it saying goodbye?"

"Girl, I'll accept you..." Li Xin gave Xiaoli a thumbs up.

"Oh, Brother Xin, let's go to see the gate. Have you seen the gate hare?"

Li Xin and Xiaoli walked to the other side of the big tree where they pressed the "gate" yesterday.

The mechanism of the "gate" has been triggered, and the stone slab hits down. Half of a furry animal was exposed outside the stone slab.

"Ha, the gate has arrived." Li Xin was happy and hurried to move the stone slab away.

A hare that had been dead for a long time appeared in front of the two of them. The hare was about one foot long, which was bigger than the one I saw yesterday.
