When Wenbo and Wenhao were on vacation, Li Xin took a few younger brothers and sisters back to Osmanthus Village.

The house in Osmanthus Village is cleaned up by Lian Zhou's and Lian Zhi's mother and daughter, but it is very clean. The fruit trees in the yard are also growing well, and some of the flowers have already borne small fruits after they have fallen. The papaya seedlings planted on the edge of the vegetable garden at the back have already grown, and they are already very tall at this time.

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

"Childe and young lady are back." Seeing Li Xin and the others coming back, Lian Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Don't be so polite at home."

After entering the door, Li Xin instructed Lian Zhou and Lian Zhi to pick some vegetables to wash, and asked Zhu Yong to go to Zhang's house and invite the Zhang family to come over for lunch. Even Zhou and Lian Zhi may have never cooked at home, and they don't even know how to cut vegetables, so when the dishes are washed, Li Xin and Yuexiang go to the kitchen to get food.

"You let Vanilla come here!" Li Xin was chopping vegetables, but Lian Zhi suddenly said beside her.

"What do you mean?" Li Xin glanced at Lian Zhi. Lian Zhi has never had the consciousness of being a slave, even after so many setbacks and sufferings, the sharpness in her body has not been worn out because of this. When facing Li Xin, he has always been dragging when he speaks, and he has some arrogance that does not put anyone in his eyes.

However, before, Li Xin didn't care too much about Lian Zhi's situation. She also felt that Lian Zhi suddenly changed from a high-ranking general's daughter to a low-level slave, and it must be difficult to adapt for a while, if so, she could also give Lian Zhi some time to adapt, and she didn't expect Lian Zhi to help do anything.

Moreover, for Li Xin, she grew up in her previous life, she has received so much education and edification, and her mentality still retains a lot of cognition of her previous life. Everyone is equal there, although it cannot be said to be completely equal, but there is a greater respect for human rights there.

Although there are slaves in the family, Li Xin has always respected them, never shouted to drink, and also taught Wenbo to do the same with her.

However, Li Xin has always known that the concept of equality for all people can be silently kept in her heart, but she can never say it or do that.

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

"My mother and I can't cook, and these days, you don't know how we got here. Rice made with herbs is delicious. ”

"Just let Vanilla come and cook for you?" Li Xin didn't look at Lian Zhi again, but cut the vegetables seriously. Lian Zhi really never recognized her identity, she was now a slave, even if Li Xin never asked her to do anything. But it doesn't mean that Li Xin will let people serve her!

"Yes! You can ask Vanilla to come and cook for me and my mother! My mother and I can't 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. I'll give you a month to let Vanilla teach you how to cook, and after a month, whether you learn it or not, I'll let Vanilla leave. From now on, you will cook your own meals, and you will eat whatever you can make. After Li Xin finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Lian Zhi anymore, and cooked by himself.

When it was time for lunch, the Zhang family also came over, and Li Xin beckoned Wenbo and a few people to help set the meal. There are two tables in the main hall, one table is Li Xin and Zhang's grandmother and Uncle Zhang's aunt, and the other table is Wenbo with Xiaowang and Niuniu. Zhu Yong and Lian Zhou's mother and daughter were sent out to eat by Li Xin.

"O you! It's rare to come back once, so don't be so troublesome to cook by yourself. If you don't dislike it, go to our house to eat, although the food made by my aunt is not as delicious as what you make, don't dislike it so much! While eating, Aunt Zhang said.

"Aunt Zhang's cooking is delicious, where is there a disgusting statement. We are juniors, and there is always a reason to trouble you. If my aunt says that again, she just hates that my food is not delicious. Li Xin smiled and gave Aunt Zhang a chopstick dish.

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you." Aunt Zhang smiled and began to eat.

After lunch, Lian Zhou took Lian Zhi to put down the dishes and chopsticks, and brought up the fragrant tea and snacks. Li Xin and the three elders of the Zhang family sat in the hall talking, and a few small ones from Wenbo had already gone to the courtyard to play. It is rare for a few children to meet a good playmate, and they are naturally very happy.

Watching a few children playing in the yard, Li Xin also smiled. It's a good time to have such a happy and carefree life!

"Can you stay for a while when you come back this time?" Aunt Zhang asked Li Xin.

"Wen Bo and Wen Hao still have to go to the academy, but they can't live longer, but I, Yuexiang and Yueting, don't we often live in the village. Besides, the village is not far from the town, and when the uncle and aunt go to the town, they go in and sit. "Since the life of the family has improved, it seems that there is gradually a gap between me and the Zhang family, and there is always less of the feeling of intimacy that I used to have.

Maybe it's because the days of the two families have opened, and the mood has begun to change!

Not to mention anything else, the house in the town was bought, and the Zhang family often went to the town to catch the market, but they never went to Li Xin's house. Li Xin has also been invited many times, but the Zhang family has never been there.

Li Xin also regretted such a situation, but there were not many ways to change it.

"Go when you have time." Aunt Zhang responded with some embarrassment.

"By the way, when I come back this time, I also have something to discuss with my uncle and aunt. Xiao Wang's age is not young, and it is not a way to always be in the village. You can't just plant that little bit of land for generations! I wondered, can I send Xiao Wang to the academy? Not to mention how much you can produce, it's much better to be literate! After thinking about it, Li Xin said the purpose of coming back this time.

"This ......" Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up, and he finally hesitated.

"The baby in the village, this ...... This...... It's not good to go to the academy! Aunt Zhang also looked very hesitant. Although there is a academy in the town, it seems that it is the rich and noble families in the town who send their children to the academy, and few families in the village will do this. Half-grown children can already help the family with work, and going to the academy is not half of the labor, and second, it is also very expensive. Most people don't have enough money, and some people don't have such awareness.

For the poor children of the village family, it seems too much luxury to go to school in the town
