Zhou Heiniu served breakfast, and Li Shen took a few bites and put down his chopsticks.

"Brother Mu Sheng, isn't the food delicious? The breakfast cooked by Sister Lin is delicious, isn't it?" Zhou Heiniu said vaguely while holding the rice in his mouth.

Breakfast is bacon porridge and sorghum pancakes.

The pancakes are crispy on both sides, and the porridge is neither thick nor thin, just right.

"I've finished eating. You can eat the rest." Li Shen nodded towards him.

Zhou Heiniu responded happily, "Okay, Brother Musheng, I won't waste it."

He moved the pancake plate in front of him and ate it happily.

Li Shen came outside the hospital on crutches.

Early in the morning, villagers walked by from time to time on the village road.

Either carrying a load, driving cattle, or holding a hoe or shovel.

Anyone who saw him smiled and said hello.

"Good morning, Muro-kun."

Li Shen nodded in response.

Outside the house, vegetable seedlings were planted by Lin Xirou.

Li Shen, who had nothing to do, walked to the vegetable field and looked at the vegetable seedlings.

Lin Xirou entered the palace as a palace maid at the age of five, and was later selected to be admitted to the Taiyuan Hospital. Although her status was never high, her life was better than that of girls from small families outside.

Menial work has never been done.

But she actually knows how to cook and grow vegetables, which is really surprising.

At this time, Zhou An, the son of neighbor Zhou Po, came with his son and daughter to look for some chicks that had escaped.

The little chicken chased and ran more and more, and ran into the vegetable seedlings planted by Lin Xirou.

Rushing in to look for chickens like this would definitely trample Lin Xirou's vegetable seedlings.

Zhou An stopped his children who wanted to look for chickens, "Don't go in yet." He nodded to Li Shen and said sheepishly, "Mu Langjun, don't worry, I'll catch them right away."

Li Shen smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter."

Thursday Ann called to her daughter and asked her to go home and bring some grains to feed the chickens.

The little girl Zhou Xiang'er ran home quickly and brought an old earthenware basin.

Zhou An took it in his hand, picked up a small pebble, knocked on the broken earthen basin, and drank some broken packets of grain beside the vegetable field. "Oh oh oh--"

The three chickens heard the crow and ran out of the vegetable field to eat the grains.

Zhou An quickly took action, caught the chicken, and handed it into the hands of his children.

"Take it back to grandma and lock it up. Don't open the lid of the basket again, or it will run away again. It will be bitten to death by wild cats, and you won't be able to eat the eggs they lay."

The two children responded happily and ran home.

When Li Shen saw the two little kids, he felt sad again when he thought of Lin Xirou, who ran away in a hurry and refused to talk to him.

In order to cover up his loneliness, Li Shen said casually, "My child is not young anymore. Why does he play at home every day instead of going to school?"

Families in the village, as long as their living conditions are decent and they don't have to worry about food and drink, will send their boys to school.

I don't want to be a scholar, I just want to be able to recognize a few words and be able to read account books when doing business in the future.

The family background of the neighbor Zhou family is considered to be above average.

But the boy at home has not gone to school for half a year.

Zhou An sighed, "We also want to send him to school, but the nearest school is closed, and the other school is in the market, fifteen miles away, too far."

Li Shen nodded, "It's indeed a bit far."

Zhou An snorted, "If it weren't for the upright guy in Qinjia Village, Master's school wouldn't be closed."

Li Shen had a bad impression of the village leader in Qinjia Village. After hearing Zhou An's complaint, he immediately asked, "What's wrong with that person?"

"That man is not a good person! He bullied people miserably, and then came to deceive people into borrowing loan sharks from him! If he couldn't pay back, he asked people to sell their land, houses, and children!" Mrs. Song's son fell ill the year before last, and he spent all his family's savings , the Qin family village is coaxing Master Song, saying that they respect him as a master and charge less interest.

"Master Song borrowed 50 taels. When the time came to repay the money, the Qin family village came to collect the debt. The interest rate on compound interest actually quadrupled. More than 200 taels of silver were required to be repaid!

"How can Master Song afford it? The Qin family village is asking Master Song to sell land. Master Song's family has twenty acres of land. He sells ten acres for 20 taels per mu, which is just enough. But selling land At that time, the Qin family village was saying that the ten acres of land on the land deed was actually only eight acres.

"The Qinjia Village is saying that Master Song lied to him. Master Song said that the land was measured by the Qinjia Village himself five years ago. If there is a mistake, it is because the Qinjia Village himself made a mistake and it has nothing to do with Master Song.

"So, the quarrel started. Mr. Song was old and his health was always in bad shape. How could he make more noise than the Qin Cunli Zheng, who was 20 years younger than him? He was so angry that he became sick.

"Yesterday, I heard that the Qin family village was coming to collect debts again, and they got into a fight with Mrs. Song's family. Both families said they were going to sue each other, but I don't know if they will."

Zhou An finished speaking and shook his head, "Mulangjun, you said something like this happened to Mr. Song's family. How can he still be in the mood to teach students?"

Li Shen's brows furrowed slightly, "It's true that when the house leaks, it rains continuously."

An said on Thursday that he would go to the fields, waved to Li Shen, and went home.

Li Shen turned around and shouted into the courtyard, "Hei Niu! Have you had breakfast?"

Zhou Heiniu was washing dishes in the kitchen. He stuck his little head to the door and said, "Okay, I'm washing dishes."

"After washing the dishes, let's go out."

"Okay!" Zhou Heiniu responded cheerfully.

After a while, Zhou Heiniu ran out of the kitchen, closed the kitchen door, and then went to close the main room door, "Brother Musheng, where are we going?"

As long as the young boy hears that he is going out, he will be very happy.

"Go to the neighboring village and drive out the donkey cart." Li Shen looked in the direction of Qinjia Village.

"Okay, I'll come."

Donkey is a donkey with a pretty good temper. After getting along with each other for this period of time, the Zhou brothers have become proficient in driving a cart.

Zhou Heiniu drove the donkey cart outside the door, helped Li Shen get into the cart, closed the door, and rushed to Qinjia Village.

"Brother Mu Sheng, what are we doing in the neighboring village?" Zhou Heiniu looked behind him and asked.

Li Shen was looking at the scenery in the village.

There is little rain in summer and the roads are dusty.

There was no water at all in the small ditch beside the road, and it was covered with weeds.

"Go to Master Song's house." Li Shen looked forward.

"Oh, okay. By the way, Brother Musheng, what are you doing at Song Zi's house?"

Li Shen glanced at him and said, "Talk too much, drive carefully."

Zhou Heiniu stuck out his tongue, made a face, and stopped talking.

The donkey cart entered Qinjia Village.

Anyone who knew Li Shen greeted him respectfully.

Li Shen asked people about Master Song's family.

The villagers told him enthusiastically.

Arriving at the door of Master Song's house, Li Shen saw Zhou Heihu sitting in front of the gate of Master Song's house.

Zhou Heihu saw them and ran over in surprise, "Brother Musheng, Hei Niu, why are you here?"

"Why are you here?" Li Shen asked, looking towards the main room of Master Song's house, "Is your sister-in-law at Master Song's house?"

After returning from the county town, Li Shen was worried about Lin Xirou and asked her to take one of the two brothers with her when she went out.

Yesterday's Chapter 121 was released today after being locked. You can look back at it.

Also, some words were added in the second half of Chapter 123. Looking back, it was free of charge (^-^)
