Chapter 15

"Si girl, hurry up! After eating, go and deliver food to your fourth uncle."

According to Mrs. Li, among the granddaughters, only the eldest granddaughter Li Mingyu has a name, and the other granddaughters are all called by rank.

These four girls are calling for Li Mingli, the youngest daughter of the third uncle Li An's family.

Boys can help with some chores at home, and older girls can also help with some embroidery work, so now the work of delivering food is carried out in turns by Li Mingyan, Li Mingli and Li Mingyue from Li An's family. here.

Li Mingli was not happy about being named, and secretly pulled her mother's sleeve under the table with her hands, and Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth to complain for her daughter.

"Mother, the fifth girl has recovered from her illness. She has been slacking off for several days. We, Li'er, have taken turns twice, and there are blisters on her feet."

Mrs. Liu also felt sorry for her daughter, so she quickly said, "Mother, Yue'er is not doing well yet, let her rest for two days."

Mrs. Li saw that the fifth girl could walk and dance, because she was still angry about what happened last time, so she also wanted to cure her.

He nodded and said, "Then five girls go! I can tell you! If you dare to steal again this time, see if I don't break your legs!"

Then Mrs. Li went to the kitchen in person, fried a poached egg, and put it in a food box along with the food she had left before and handed it to Li Mingyue.

Li Mingyue carried the food box and left the house in a daze.

Fortunately, the original owner of this road has walked countless times, she calmed down and thought about it, and then remembered how to go to the school.

Turn left at the door, go straight along the main road, and then go to the official road, which is in the direction of Xiaohe Village.

However, Li Mingyue was recovering from illness, and her body was weak, so she walked slowly. When she appeared at the school gate, it was already a few quarters of an hour later than usual.

Li Kang was already impatient with waiting, but in the end he wanted to maintain his character as a scholar. He didn't lose his temper at a little girl like her, and just said calmly: "Why is it so late today?"

There was a sense of alienation and indifference in him, and he was not friendly at all, but Li Mingyue had long been immune to old lady Li's cold eyes and didn't care.

"Grandma said she wanted to fry a poached egg to nourish fourth uncle, so it's late to go out."

This fourth uncle was wearing a commoner long gown, with a bookish look and the unique aloofness of a scholar.

It's no wonder that the grandparents are biased, the other three big and rough sons are completely incomparable with this one.

Li Kang sat on a stone bench in the yard to eat, while Li Mingyue stood aside and waited.

After just taking a bite, Li Kang frowned.

Li Mingyue followed his gaze, and saw a layer of white lard floating on the vegetables in the bowl.

The food they ate before could be described as clear soup with little water, but it didn't have so much oil and water. It seems that Mrs. Li added it later.

Seeing Li Kang holding up his chopsticks in a troubled manner, Li Mingyue rolled her eyes.

He smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, this dish is cold, you will get sick if you eat it, I'll find a place to warm it up for you."

What she said naturally fit Li Kang's wishes.

"Alright, you can go to the backyard and borrow the stove from the master's house to heat it up. Remember to behave yourself and don't offend anyone."

"Okay."

Li Mingyue quickly packed up the food box and followed the direction he pointed to the backyard.

Apparently the master's house was also lighting a fire for cooking, and as soon as they entered the backyard, they saw smoke coming out of the chimney of the small kitchen.

Li Mingyue tidied up her appearance, patted the dust off her body, and made sure it was clean and tidy, and there was nothing wrong with it, before walking there.

In the kitchen, a middle-aged woman was busy in front of the stove. Although she was dressed in commoner clothes, she could not hide her grace and elegance.
