We've already agreed that you'll have a month to recover, and then you can do whatever you want with it.

Now that a month has passed, you can do whatever you want with it.

Hearing Li Xingdao's words, Zhang Cui's fair cheeks flushed red, feeling that Li Xingdao was deliberately teasing her.

She kept her head down while eating, ignoring him, but gave him a tender look.

Li Xingdao chuckled at her appearance, knowing that she was definitely preparing to "lure him into a trap." He immediately smiled broadly and, without lingering, quickly finished his breakfast.

Then, he took the empty bowls and chopsticks and went into the kitchen first.

Seeing Li Xingdao enter the kitchen, Zhang Cui pursed her soft red lips, quickly ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, then followed suit, tidying up the empty bowls and chopsticks before walking into the kitchen with her head down.

Seeing that they had both left, Li Lai wiped his mouth, expressionless, and followed them back to his main room, pulling up the curtain as he went. He didn't want to listen or see anything.

Meanwhile, Zhang Cui had just walked into the kitchen with a bowl in her hand, placed it on the stove, and was about to wash the dishes while bearing Li Xingdao's gaze when she saw Li Xingdao step forward, open his arms, and hug her waist.

"Brother Xingdao, are you home?"

In the small kitchen, Li Xingdao had just put his arm around Zhang Cui's waist and was about to do something when he suddenly heard a crisp voice ring out in the yard.

"stop!"

Hearing Li Xiaohua's voice, Zhang Cui was afraid that Li Xingdao, that simpleton, would continue to do those things if she saw him. So, her cheeks flushed, she pulled her waist away from his embrace and looked down at him, saying, "Don't rush, wait until no one is around, then I'll let you have your way."

As Zhang Cui spoke, she looked out of the kitchen with some confusion, wondering what Li Xiaohua was doing here at this time.

Zhang Cui was puzzled, and Li Xingdao was also stunned. Li Xiaohua, why did she come so quickly?

Despite his doubts, Li Xingdao acted decisively, pinching Zhang Cui's arm before walking out of the kitchen as she lowered her head.

Looking outside, he saw Li Xiaohua, who was dressed neatly from head to toe, smiling and showing off her white teeth as she stood in the yard looking at him.

"Little Flower, why are you here so early?"

Looking at Xiao Hua, Li Xingdao thought of her fragrant and tender appearance, and a smile appeared on his face. He greeted her with a light laugh.

"Brother Xingdao, I'm fine. I came to find you after I finished eating."

Li Xiaohua smiled warmly at Li Xingdao as she spoke, her smile full of gentleness. As she spoke, she shyly lifted the fish basket in her hand:

"My dad said you're off work today and have nothing to do, so he wants me to go fishing and follow you with the fishing net to pick up some fish to eat."

"Alright, let's go. I'll share half of the fish I catch today with you."

When Li Xingdao heard Li Xiaohua say this, a smile appeared on his face, and he spoke with a bright expression.

After speaking, he turned and called out to Li Lai inside the house. Then, he took his fishing rod, hook, bait, and basket, and with a smile, followed the petite and bouncy Li Xiaohua to Dongtang to go fishing.

"Why did the third brother let Xiaohua get so close to Xingdao?"

Watching Li Xingdao leave with the bouncy Li Xiaohua, Zhang Cui came out of the kitchen, her eyes tense as she watched their departing figures.

Those fair and delicate hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

...............

When they arrived at Dongtang with Li Xiaohua, Li Hen's eldest son, Li Gou, was still guarding the fishpond.

Seeing them come in, perhaps having received some instructions, they didn't make a sound.

Li Xingdao and Li Xiaohua chatted and laughed as they arrived at the East Pond. They found a spot, cast their fishing rods into the river, and began fishing.

Fisherman Lv4 (Experience 18/1250)

[Skill: Fishing Lv4]

At this moment, Li Xingdao looked at the experience points required for his fisherman profession upgrade, but shook his head.

Upgrading is not an option in the short term, so I've put my mind at ease.

With the idea of ​​catching as much fish as possible, he stayed by Li Xiaohua's side, chatting and laughing as he fished.

Firstly, spending time with a delicate girl like Li Xiaohua is indeed a happy and comfortable experience.

Secondly, with the harvest season approaching, Li Xingdao genuinely felt he needed to rest and recuperate.

Therefore, he didn't push himself too hard while fishing. He only cast two lines and chatted and laughed with Li Xiaohua while fishing by the East Pond.

By noon, they had caught 80 fish. Half of them were given to Li Xiaohua, and they took 40 fish back with them.

Of course, there's also the point that if they catch too much fish, they won't be able to eat it all themselves. Whether they share it with other people or handle it in another way, they can't get any benefit on the surface.

If he continues to act so enthusiastically, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Therefore, Li Xingdao did not allow himself to act too outrageously; for now, he should focus on eating what he was about to have.

"Brother Xingdao, shall we go fishing again this afternoon? My dad said that now that it's busy farming season, the people who work at the brick kilns need to rest and recuperate."

"So my dad said that every household, every meal, and every person should eat a fish, and it would be better to have more fish on hand."

At noon, after Li Xingdao had divided the fish for himself by the pond, Li Xiaohua looked at the forty fish in the basket, smiled at Li Xingdao, and said with a shy smile on her delicate face.

"Oh, then there's a lot of demand. Anyway, I'm free now. Little Flower, come find me again this afternoon, and we can go fishing then."

Hearing Li Xiaohua's words, Li Xingdao raised his eyebrows, nodded, and looked at her with a smile: "It'll be cool in the afternoon, I'll definitely catch a lot for you."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Li, hehe."

Li Xiaohua smiled happily as she spoke, then waved her fair little hand at Li Xingdao. Under his gaze, she wiggled her little bottom, turned around, and left with her small bamboo basket on her back.

"Harvesting grain is hard work, but for these brick kiln workers, it's a good opportunity to take a break."

Li Xingdao watched Li Xiaohua's alluring figure leave, and thought to himself.

But then I thought, maybe that's not the case. After all, brick kilns don't always have business.

When things are busy, we can do more work, and when we finish, it might be right around the time of the wheat harvest, which means we'll have to work even harder.

Perhaps after the wheat harvest, they won't have any work for a long time, and the brick kiln won't need to be started again.

"I don't know if there will be any more jobs. If there aren't, it will be troublesome for the woodcutter to level up again."

Li Xingdao's mind raced with thoughts, but he knew there was always a way out, so he didn't dwell on it. Thinking about continuing to fish in the afternoon, he chuckled and carried his fish basket back home.

By the end of the day, the fish he had caught at Li Lai's house had been almost all eaten, and these 40 fish would be a good supplement.

I have to say, fishing is really relaxing. After a whole morning, it feels like I've been resting the whole time, and my whole body feels relaxed and refreshed.

When they arrived at Li Lai's house, Li Xingdao had just put the fish down and was about to kill it when Zhang Cui suddenly grabbed his hand, pursed her lips, and said to him:

"Xingdao, come over here, I have something to tell you."
