Li Jiye's recent slackness was seen through by Mrs. Fan at a glance, and she couldn't help lowering her head weakly, staring at herself vigorously, counting the rice grains in the soup in the bowl.

How did she see it?

Ginger is still old and spicy.

When Li Jicai heard Mrs. Fan say this, he knew that he was actually on his side, and he was also happy in his heart.

"Come on, drink it!" Li Jicai brought a bowl of things from the low table next to him in time.

"The old lady forgives me, this is the custom of my hometown, in order to hope that my younger brother can be admitted, I specially killed the blood of the chicken." Li Jicai covered the bowl and didn't let Mrs. Fan see the blood in the bowl, the old man couldn't see this.

Hearing the word customs, Mrs. Fan's eyes flickered a little, and she didn't speak.

So Li Jicai thought that she agreed, pushed the bowl in front of Li Jiye and said, "Come, this is chicken blood, drink it." More or less mixed with some water, she was afraid that Li Jiye would not be able to drink it.

Why would she do this?

Because in modern times, every time the students in the third year of high school take the college entrance examination, those parents not only pray to God and worship Buddha, but also let them drink a bowl of chicken blood one by one, saying that they hope to become fighting chickens when they take the exam, and they all drink chicken blood and have momentum.

To say so, it's just an auspicious picture.

Li Jicai felt that this was also a good way to deal with Li Jiye, who was slacking off now.

Under the double pressure of Mrs. Fan and his nominal sister, Li Jiye had to hold his breath hard, and picked up the bowl of chicken blood with a death-defying expression, then took a deep breath, opened his mouth, swallowed all the contents of the bowl in one gulp, and then immediately picked up the soup he hadn't finished drinking, and poured it into it one by one, just to cover up the taste of chicken blood.

He didn't know why he drank this bowl of chicken blood, was it to show his determination? But that's not what determination does, don't people drink when they express their determination? In front of the two women, he had already understood, and neither of them was easy to mess with.

Although Mrs. Fan is actually quite good in them, and she is not treated much, she still has the rugged and majestic air of a foreigner, and Li Jicai is the kind of tenacious as a reed, and she will not give up without fighting her goals.

Therefore, Li Jiye had no room to resist at all, and he didn't want to resist.

Anyway, if you resist to the end, you still have to give in.

Li Jicai looked at Li Jiye with satisfaction: "I hope you can go to high school in one fell swoop." ”

Before Li Jicai's words were finished, Li Jiye couldn't help but run out and vomit.

No one has dared to force him to drink chicken blood in his lifetime, Li Jicai is the first and the last!

If it weren't for the people under the fence to see people's faces, he wouldn't have given in! When he became an official in the Chu State, he would be proud in front of her!

Li Jiye, who ran out like crazy, attracted Xiao Erhei's attention, as if it noticed something, it stood up suddenly, and then the dog's head accidentally hit the table.

"Woo woo woo" and ran out twice.

Li Jicai couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw its cute appearance.

Silly dog.

"Are you serious about the customs of your hometown?" Mrs. Fan hadn't left yet, and looked at Li Jicai and said with burning eyes.

"Nature is serious." Li Jicai was a little surprised, she would suddenly ask.

"Where is your home?" She asked again.

Far away, from her point of view, if compared to modern times, this is antiquity. She didn't know which dynasty it was, after all, there were too many dynasties in Chinese history, and it was likely that one of the small countries she was in was the Chu State.

"Jinling." Li Jicai was silent for a while and said, she didn't know if the name she casually said would be known by Mrs. Fan, but as far as Mrs. Fan's hometown was in Shafan, she said that Mrs. Fan in the south should not know.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Fan heard this name, her eyes flickered a little, and then she turned around and left without saying anything.

Li Jicai only thinks that she misses her hometown, so she cares about her, a foreigner.

Otherwise, if you are not close to you, why should the other party be soft-hearted to you?

Everyone retreated, and Li Jicai hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and then he had to go to the kitchen to stew chicken.

This big rooster, she looked really beautiful, the cry was really loud, the cockscomb was blood-red, and the colorful feathers on its body were colorful and shining in the sun.

If it weren't for the sake of livelihood, she really wouldn't be willing to kill chickens, but it was a rooster, not a hen, and it couldn't lay eggs.

Mrs. Fan hates raising poultry at home the most, and she almost can't stay at home anyway.

Yes, she has treated this place as her home, and Mrs. Fan as her own relatives and grandmother.

Compare hearts to hearts, hoping that the other party can also feel her sincerity.

Li Jiye slept outside with Xiao Erhei in his arms, wrapped in rags and feeling a little cold. Lee Ji Chae slept in the room tonight.

It's late autumn now, and autumn is in full swing.

Thin rags are obviously not good, and it will be a little colder soon in winter, and he will probably have to go into the house to sleep with Li Jicai.

Li Jicai is not much older than him, although she is nominally his sister, but he feels that there is not much difference between the two of them.

Thinking of sleeping with the woman, Li Jiye felt that something was wrong with his body.

When the time comes, he will take Xiao Erhei with him, and everyone will be huddled together.

The moon of fifteen is sixteen round, and tonight overhead, the bright moon hangs high, very beautiful.

I don't know if Chang'e, Jade Rabbit and Wu Gang in the Moon Palace are looking at him just as he looks at them.

Drowsiness slowly set in, the hunger in his belly still burned him, and he didn't have enough to eat.

Li Jiye, who was busy eating and eating, couldn't remember when he would eat tea and recite poems to appreciate the bright moon.

The days of wealth in the past are gone, he thought, if it weren't for the difficulties encountered in the capital on the road with Li Jicai, attracting criticism, attracting people's eyes, and attracting cold reception, if it was in the past, it would be extremely unbearable, and he would rather starve to death than let others insult him.

But Li Jicai is different, following her, she will always keep the best food she begged for, and then give him food for Xiao Erhei to eat, she can save money, she originally looked thin, and after a few months with her, she found that she was thinner than when she was in the western suburbs.

It's because Li Jicai has been gritting his teeth and persevering, refusing to give up, and unwilling to be starved to death like this, so he seems to have gained the courage to survive from her.

It's better to die than to live.

When Li Jicai knelt at the feet of others and cried and begged the other party to give him some food, he never forced him to beg with her, but saw that his hair was shaved cleanly, his round head and round head were like a monk, where did he get a robe for him to disguise, this may be within her ability to retain his self-esteem to the greatest extent, and when the other party insulted him, Li Jicai would rush out like a little tiger and scold at others, and then release those foul words that he had never heard, and run away after pulling him.

It's all hers who endure hardships and sins, and he doesn't know how much she has helped him block.

I don't know why he is so thin, skinny, he can bear so many things, he is not fragile at all, and he is different from the women he has met.

It's really magical, maybe it's because of this magic that Li Jiye feels that he can always silently obey and obey her words.

Actually, she's a good person.

Therefore, to sum up those things, Li Jiye decided to give up his anger against her, and hated her for forcing herself to drink chicken blood on the basis of what hometown customs.

Xiao Erhei has fallen asleep heartlessly, and the dog will also snore, sleeping very comfortably, with a wet nose and a sharp fanged pink tongue exposed between his mouth.

Touching the warm hair on his body, Li Jiye slowly fell asleep leaning on it.

However, it felt as if I hadn't slept for long, and it was already dawn.

When Li Jiye was picked up, he was very sleepy and didn't want to move at all. But in the face of Li Jicai's insistent face, all the sleepy insects slowly crawled away.

"What's the matter? So early? Li Jiye rubbed his eyes and said slowly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the book club." Li Jicai said that he would do it, and if he said that he would let him review his homework, he would go to review.

Although the current situation is relatively difficult and he is still in the stage of maintaining food and clothing, since Li Jiye has this talent and the future is unknown, he must definitely develop it vigorously, and only by studying can he have a way out, this is the concept that Li Jicai has been exposed to since he was a child. So whether it's ancient or modern, she won't give up on such ideas. There is no problem to beg by yourself, there is no problem to work by yourself, and there is no problem to bear these mouths by yourself, just count on Li Jiye to be able to get her hands dirty once she is developed.

Moreover, according to her intuition, Li Jiye must have been born in a rich family, so the education he received from a wealthy family should be much superior to others, and with a good foundation, I believe that as long as he is willing to work hard, he will definitely be admitted. Because I heard that in ancient times, exams had to take various exams, and after layers of large and small selections, Li Jicai felt that Li Jiye's efforts at this time were just right, neither early nor too late.

Anyway, it's hard work for so long, it's good to get out, when she was almost facing death before, she wasn't afraid of being down, and now she has nothing to be afraid of managing her own little life.

"Book club? Did the book club open so early? And you look at my unkempt and disheveled appearance now, will the book society let me in? "The ancient scholar was also decent, and the clothes he wears now are still those tattered clothes, how can he see people?

Li Jicai also frowned when she heard him say this, indeed, she didn't notice this.

She doesn't know how to sew needlework by hand, and she can't buy fabric to do it herself, but if she wants to buy it for him, she can't afford it. What can I do? If he is not dressed cleanly, people will dislike him, and he will not be able to raise his head when he reads, so his self-confidence has been hit, how can he learn well? No, no, no, there must be clothes.

"Then you delay for a few more days, and I'll think of a way for you."
