Cheng Xue walked up and down the inn three times. In addition to being heartbroken, she also had a headache.

Ever since they changed their route, they would encounter problems at every stop, but the lack of firewood was beyond her knowledge.After all, as long as you work harder, you won't be short of firewood at all.Moreover, the houses here are nothing but frost and dust, and it has obviously been unoccupied for a long time.

If you want to live in it, it will take an hour to clear it out at the earliest.She also discovered that apart from them, the only breathing creature in the entire inn was the intern who was being questioned in the lobby.The mice had to cry and move when they came here, and there wasn't even a grain of food in the kitchen. I really don't know how Yi Cheng lived on weekdays.

Soon, Tiandong and Dexi came back with firewood and two barrels of kerosene.The stove hole that had not been lit for a long time could not be lit by birch bark alone.

Kerosene is also called stone paint and stone grease, which is the petroleum used in modern times.

At this time, there is no distinction between masters and servants. Everyone starts working together, including those who burn the kang, those who light the stove, and those who go to the backyard to light the chimney.

After finishing the work, although the temperature in the room did not rise, it was no longer as cold as before.

Bai Wei and Bai Shu also rushed to clean out a room. Bai Shao came over and invited Cheng Xue, mother and son to come over.

There is a charcoal pot next to the kang in the house, and tea sets are also placed on the kang table. The kang is covered with thick soft cushions, and it is just right to sit on it and cover it with a felt.

After carrying Li Huai and Li Tian onto the kang, Cheng Xue asked:
"Master, do you have a charcoal pot over there? Don't let them freeze."

"Don't worry, madam. The master sent it first, and the servant also made tea." Bai Shao replied, "Madam, the young lady, and the young masters will have some snacks first. Dinner will have to wait for a while."

Cheng Xue nodded when she heard this, thought for a moment and then said:

"Cook more dinner and bring Yi Cheng out."

"Yes." Bai Shao saluted again, bowed and retreated.

When the door closed, Li Huaixing rushed inside to clear the warm place where he had just been sitting -

"Mom, come and sit down soon. It's warm."

The enthusiasm of a child is so straightforward.

Cheng Xue swept away the gloominess just now, took off her shoes and got on the kang with a smile, took the blanket from Li Tian, ​​and drank the tea pushed by Li Yue, feeling warm in her heart.As for Li Heng and Yan Yixin, they lit the stove and went to the stable to help, but they haven't entered the house yet.

Seeing that Li Huai's eyes were straight, Cheng Xue held him in her arms and patted him gently.Li Tian got up and walked to the end of the kang. Seeing that it was already warm, he put the bedding down directly.Even though she always scolded Li Huai on weekdays, when it came to caring, she didn't need Li Yuesao.

Not long after, the little guy fell asleep. After settling down, Cheng Xue lowered her voice and said:
"You two sisters sit down for now, while Mom goes to the front and takes a look."

"I will accompany my mother."

"No, you and your sister sit in the house. Don't catch a cold, we have to be on our way."

Li Yue nodded obediently, stopped showing off, and sat with Li Tian holding the candle.

Because of their arrival, several rooms in the inn were illuminated, the kitchen was filled with smoke, and the smell of fireworks was everywhere.

Seeing that the lobby door was still closed, Cheng Xue turned to the stables.Li Heng and Yan Yixin were fighting with Dexi and the others. She stood aside and watched quietly, with the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably.

I still remember what Li Heng looked like when he first came here. Looking at it now, I feel really happy.She is capable of literature and martial arts, and is handsome. If she joins the military camp and makes achievements in the future, she will be considered worthy of the ancestors of the Li family.

Just as she was thinking, "Bang--" a crisp sound interrupted her thoughts.

"Young Master, don't be upset. You are already very good with this dagger. At your age, my subordinates have no such accomplishments at all."

Li Heng listened to Dexi's comforting words, chuckled and shook his head.He is not Li Huai. He can't find Bei even if he praises him a few times.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of my mother, running over in a few steps, with some sweat on the tip of her nose. "Why did you come here? Is it cold?"

Cheng Xue shook her head, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him, saying:
"I just came out after drinking hot tea. It's not cold. Go back to the house with Brother Xin to wash up and change clothes. It's time to eat later."

"Yes, I understand." Li Heng responded politely and left with Yan Yixin.

Dexi came over, bowed his hands and said:
"Madam, the eldest young master is very talented in martial arts, but the younger cousin is a little less talented."

Cheng Xue nodded when she heard the words, understanding what he meant.

"Young master Biao will take the scientific examination in the future. As for the eldest young master, you have to train hard. He wants to join the army, so he can't let go. Train him hard now so that he won't have to bleed when he goes to the battlefield in the future. There is also gastrodia, he will definitely follow suit. With the young master, you have to worry too."

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"How busy is it here? Are there any hidden dangers? You have been here for some time. You were busy traveling and doing errands in the village, so I didn't have time to ask. Is there anything at home that you feel is unreasonable or uncomfortable? Just say it, Let’s correct it together.”

"No madam, everything is fine." Cheng Xi came over and responded.

Dexi also nodded. He had a brighter personality and would say whatever he wanted.

"Madam, you are worrying too much. I am living a good life here, with enough food and clothing, and no discomfort. If there is any discomfort, it is to accompany the young masters to practice. After all, this scale is difficult to control. Especially for the little ones. Master..."

"What's wrong, young master, please shut up." Cheng Xi interrupted Dexi with a click of her tongue.

When Cheng Xue saw this, she chuckled "Pfft--".

"Don't be so reserved, just say whatever you have to say. Sidan is still young, and if he occasionally acts coquettishly or cheats, you two will let the eldest young master handle it. The young master in our family is afraid of his eldest brother and second sister. This is all within your control The person to scare the young master. If you need anything, just go to Tiandong and Bai Shao, and their brothers and sisters will buy everything for you."

"Madam, you are serious. We really have no shortage of daily necessities." Wen Xi emphasized.

Dexi also nodded hastily, fearing that Cheng Xue would misunderstand.

"Madam, we really don't have any shortage of clothes, shoes and socks. As for the young master... I feel that the master's requirements are too strict. The child is still young. He will wait for a few years to practice martial arts before rushing there. There is no need to follow Yin Zheng. "

Seeing that Dexi ignored Chengxi's wink, Cheng Xue felt satisfied and raised the corners of her mouth.

"Okay, I'll take note of what you said, and I'll discuss it with the master later in the evening. Can Chen Chu ask him to get up and walk with you? I don't need to practice too much, just a stick of incense."

"Okay, okay, madam, just don't blame your subordinates for being troublesome."

Cheng Xue waved her hands with a smile, glanced at Wen Xi, and said:
"As long as you make this place your home, even though I can't return your personal deed, I will help you organize things that ordinary people have. It's okay to start a family, marry a wife and have children, as long as you make this your home."

After saying that, he ignored the two people's reactions and turned around and went straight to the front yard.

Dexi blinked her eyes and curled her lips, then looked at Chengxi in confusion and said:

"Madam, have you misunderstood? We have never thought about marrying a wife!"

Cheng Xi rolled her eyes in disgust——

"That's right, I'll let you be so stupid. I'll send a letter to Langshou later, saying that you, Sifan, are going to break the precepts."

"I didn't, don't accuse me wrongly..."
