After dinner, it was already dark, Qingsong Qingyu and Qingsong rushed to wash the dishes, and Lin He let them go.

She asked Li Yu to bring out two old clothes from the previous few years, and went to get her own, as well as things for sleeping at night.

After packing up, let them carry their clothes, while Li Changhui held the rolled bamboo mat with one hand and the oil lamp with the other, motioning for the two to follow.

Facing the unsmiling Li Changhui, both brothers and sisters seemed a little apprehensive, and even looked a little nervous, even though they had eaten at the same table just now.

Li Changhui didn't say anything, just motioned them to go out together.

The nearest village to Nanzhi County in the suburbs is more than an hour's walk away.

There are many mountains and forests in Guanzhou Prefecture, and all towns are built on relatively flat places. Nanzhi County is no exception. The surrounding farmlands are almost all the farms of wealthy households in the city.

Since it is a rich family's farm, it will naturally not be like in a village where the neighbors live close together.

These farms are all in a large area, and the farmers and tenants of these farms naturally live far away.

At most, the tenants and farm laborers in a farm will live in relatively concentrated places.

But these people are quite far from the Li family.

Fortunately, for the sake of convenience, the Li family's vineyard was originally near the Li family's house, and the cooking place was only about forty or fifty feet away from the Li family.

The distance is not very far, and if there is any emergency, they can find the Li family for help in time.

The two brothers and sisters hugged the clothes that Lin He packed for them, and followed closely behind Li Changhui, feeling nervous, happy, and slightly excited.

After wandering for so long, I finally don't have to starve or be beaten, and finally have a place where I can settle down, how can I not be excited?
Although Mrs. Li said that the clothes were old, in their opinion, they were much better than the best clothes they had ever worn. Without patches, they looked new and soft.

Nervous, it is natural that Master Li is much more dignified than they imagined, and he is serious and intimidating.

Li Changhui led the siblings to the woodshed, leaned the bamboo mat against the wall, and handed the oil lamp to Liu Qingsong behind him.

"You should know the situation here very well. I won't explain the details. Be careful of the fire. You can cook for yourself tomorrow morning. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't waste it."

Liu Qingsong stopped holding the oil lamp, and after recovering, he bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Li."

Li Changhui just waved his hand: "There is water in the next room for washing, just go to the neighborhood and bring it back tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, he didn't stay any longer, so he turned and left.

What Li Changhui didn't tell Lin He was that he found traces of people living in the kitchen these days, but he didn't lose anything, so he didn't care.

From the looks of it now, it should be the two brothers and sisters who dared not go back to the city, so they stayed nearby and observed them secretly.

In other words, he secretly observed Lin He, and even waited for him to leave before he dared to look for Lin He.

When they got home, old Zhang at the concierge had just finished washing himself and his wife, and came out to pour water. Li Changhui asked about Aunt Zhang's situation, checked her wounds, and asked about her health.

It's not a big problem, you can fully recover after a period of rest, but it's best to rest in a short period of time.

After instructing the couple, Li Changhui went back to the inner courtyard and closed the door in the middle, so that the front courtyard was completely separated from the back.

"Father, you are back."

Li Yu just came out of the study with a few books in his hand.

"Well, do you want to read a book tonight?"

Except for the very beginning, when he taught a few children the first steps, after they were sent to the college, he seldom taught them other homework except copybooks for copying.

Although Li Changhui boasted that his knowledge was not bad, his teaching method was still different from that of an upright teacher.

"It's just getting dark, it's still early, I'm going to practice calligraphy for a while, and then read a book, and then I can almost go to bed."

Li Changhui looked around: "Where is Haoer Aner?"

"The two of them went to take a bath together, boiled a large bucket of water, and said they wanted to take a bath together."

Li Hao and Li An are still young, more lively and active, and it is common for them to take a bath together.

On the contrary, Li Yu has imitated his father's appearance in the past few years. He is also the eldest brother and a little older. Even though he is only 11 years old, he has gradually become calm and rarely plays with his younger brothers.

After not having a heart-to-heart talk with his sons for a long time, Li Changhui walked towards Li Yu.

"How is it in the academy recently? Are you still used to it? How do you get along?"

In the past few years, Li Yu has grown rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The little radish heads that were only a little higher than his waist before have now reached the position of his chest.

It is very thin. Xiaohe said that this is food, and it is all used to grow tall, and it has not had time to grow flesh.

However, being thin is not weak. I have learned boxing from Li Changhui in the past few years, and the effect is still good. It is not a big problem to deal with an ordinary adult man.

Li Yu was quite surprised by his father's rare concern, but he still answered honestly: "I'm fine, but what I learned in the town before is different from what my master teaches here, so I have to catch up slowly. Everyone else's progress will do."

Li Changhui didn't say anything, just nodded: "You're still young, don't worry, just learn from arrogance and impetuosity slowly."

"I see."

After a few words, I just walked up to Li Yu and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go, remember to be careful with candles, don't light things, and go to bed early, don't stay up too late."

When I returned to the room, I didn’t see Lin He, so I went to the kitchen. Sure enough, the hot water was still boiling. It’s gradually entering summer. Can't even sleep.

Hearing the movement, Lin He poked his head out from behind the stove: "Brother Hui is back, have the two children settled down?"

"Send it over, let them clean up by themselves, and tell them to cook by themselves tomorrow morning."

A meow came from Lin He's arms: "Is the kitten here?"

"Yes, look, it's so cute, it's been in my arms all the time, this little guy is so obedient, unlike a few puppies, running around all over the yard."

There was only a little milk cat the size of Li Changhui's slap, and it even barked like a baby, and its movements were not slow. It almost ran through the crack of the back door just now.

But when he sensed Li Changhui approaching, the little milk cat's voice suddenly became urgent, struggling to leave Lin He's arms.

As soon as Lin He let go of his hand, the little guy jumped down and got into the firewood pile. It was so dark that he couldn't see where he was.

Lin He was speechless: "This little thing, why are you so afraid of you?"

"Ordinary small animals are afraid of me."

Many people are also afraid, even if they are not so exaggerated, they are not like Lin He, who have never been afraid or rejected him.

Lin He pursed his lips: "I don't know what is good or bad, but you brought it back."

Li Changhui's eyes were slightly late, and he liked it very much: "I'll boil the water, you come out to rest first, it's very hot."
