Farmers gather wealth, cruelly abusing leftovers 006 smiling face tiger Li Xin
【006】
Lian Xiulan has already started working in the kitchen, Tang Mai at this age can only help wash vegetables outside the kitchen, and will definitely not be allowed to help with anything inside the kitchen, even if her cooking skills are astonishingly good.
After washing a small basin of big bok choy, the aunties in the kitchen took pity on her and wouldn't let her help anymore, so she could only sit down on the steps opposite the kitchen.
She had a good medical skill, good cooking skills and a good brain, but she couldn't get close to the market, couldn't earn any money. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but prop up her chin, let out a long sigh. Before she could finish sighing, a big black head suddenly appeared in front of her, scaring her heart into skipping two beats.
"What are you doing?" The owner of the big head looked at Tang Mai curiously, also learning from her, sat down on the steps, propped his chin with both hands, and blinked to ask.
What a chubby little boy!
This was Tāng Mài's first reaction. Although chubby, he looked quite cute and a bit taller than her, but because his whole body was meaty, the height difference wasn't very noticeable.
He must have been raised by a very wealthy family to be so chubby, Tang Mai was wondering about the child's identity when he saw a little maid running over, "Young master, I've finally found you."
Xiao Pangdun took a look and saw Xiao Yatou running over, pulling Tang Mai's hand and running towards the courtyard on the other side. The speed was so fast that Tang Mai suspected he had martial arts skills.
"The flowers are the most annoying, they catch me every day." Little Pangzi was dragged to a garden by the little fatty, and he let go of his hand, panting heavily, complaining to Tang Mai.
Tang Mai really wants to say, you hide your maid and hide your maid, why are you pulling me to run?
"Why aren't you talking? Can't you talk?" Little Pangdun looked puzzled.
Tang Mai pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled at him, no matter who he was, she couldn't afford to offend anyone now. After smiling, she turned around and walked back to the kitchen, she didn't want her mother to come out and not see her.
"You're laughing so fake." Xiao Pangdun suddenly spoke up, and this sentence made Tang Mai's footsteps pause for a moment. Xiao Pangdun had already caught up, "But it doesn't matter, I look like I'm having fun, my name is Li Xin, what's yours?"
Li Xin?
Tang Mai suddenly turned her head, staring at the little fatty in front of her, Li Xin from Longlin County, the champion of the 23rd year of the Daozong era. He was also another champion of Longlin County after that heartless father of hers. Was this really the Li Xin from her past life, the one who was both literary and martially accomplished, and often praised by Long Jiyan as his right-hand man - the smiling tiger, Li Xin?
"Why are you always staring at me? Is it because I look good?" Li Xin said with a self-loving smile, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Tang Mai.
Tang Mai narrowed her eyes dangerously, if it was really that Li Xin, then things would be interesting. In her past life, she had created her own misfortune and deserved to die, but that didn't mean she would let Long Jiyan off easy.
"Wow, your gaze is even more terrifying than my dad's when he's calculating people." Li Xin was still smiling, and his originally small eyes were now just a slit.
Tangmu.
"Huh? So you're not mute after all?"
"What is the relationship between your family and the landlord's family?"
"Huh?" Tang Mai suddenly asked, which made Li Xin's smile pause for a moment. Then, a certain little fatty smiled and said, "The owner of the field is my sister's husband's father. What do you think is the relationship between my family and the Tian family?"
"Close relatives."
"Wow, you're so smart! My dad said that smart people should be friends with smart people. Let's be friends!" Xiao Pangdun said self-satisfiedly, and finally laughed until his eyes were narrowed to a slit as he stretched out his hand.
Tang Mai carefully looked at Li Xin, he's still young, but his powers of observation are already so strong, what he sees and guesses is directly spoken out loud, it has to be said, he's really very clever, when he grows up, everything he observes will be hidden in his heart, then take advantage of people off guard, give a fatal blow, that would truly be a terrifying thing.
Tang Mai stretched out his hand. This person must be firmly grasped in her hands. It was not a wise choice to make an enemy of him.
"Now that we're friends, will you play with me? You don't know, my dad doesn't even let me out to have fun. I finally managed to get out and besides you, there's no one else who looks like they'd be fun to hang out with. And also, Xiaohua is always catching me everywhere." Little Pangzi, who had been smiling all along, suddenly let out a sigh of frustration.
Tang Mai smiled, what a two-faced person, perhaps this is Li Xin's true appearance.
Tang Mai fell silent for a moment before speaking up, "Li Xin, do you know any doctors?"
"Doctor?" Li Xīn looked at Táng Mài with a puzzled expression, asking somewhat nervously, "Are you ill? If you die, there'll be no one to play with me anymore."
Tang Mai stared at Li Xin with an unspoken rebuke.
Li Xīn seemed to think he had misspoken, and with a conciliatory look at Táng Mài, glanced around cautiously, saying in a thieving tone, "I'll secretly tell you, my sister is the doctor, this matter, only I know about it, do you want me to go find her?"
In ancient times, especially for unmarried women, it was rare to study medicine. Looking at Li Xin's secretive appearance, Tang Mai thought for a moment and said to Li Xin, "Then after your sister gets married and moves over, I'll come find you, and you can take me to see her."
"Aren't you in a hurry?" Li Xin still looked at Tang Mai with some worry, isn't seeing a doctor usually an urgent matter?
"No rush. Alright, if I don't go back, my mother will worry, you should go back too, or else Xiaohua will worry."
"Aren't you supposed to be playing with me?"
"After your sister gets married and comes over, I'll play with you again."
"You can't cheat me, you have to play with me."
"I won't cheat you." Tang Mu had done this kind of thing too many times in his past life, and now that he was using a little kid, it really didn't feel right. After thinking for a moment, he patted himself down and took off the jade pendant from around his neck, putting it into Li Xiang's hand. "This is the most valuable thing on me. If I cheat you, you can swallow it and not give it back to me."
This jade was left by her biological father Song Huaiqing. Even if it's worth a few silver coins, she doesn't want it much, and it just happens to be used as collateral.
Swallowed?
Li Xin stared at the jade in his hand, bewildered for a moment, and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Then, I'll give you this too." Li Xin also pulled out a pure gold-made golden lock from his neck and put it into Tang Mai's hand, smiling.
"Alright, I'll take it then." Tang Mai didn't stand on ceremony either, she's just a kid after all, what's the point of being polite?
After bidding farewell to Li Xin, Tang Mai walked back to the kitchen and did not see Li Xin holding the jade pendant with eyes narrowed into crescent moons. Nor did he know that Old Master Li almost spat blood upon learning that Li Xin had exchanged the golden lock for a worthless piece of jade, cursing Li Xin as a prodigal son while unexpectedly taking an interest in the little servant girl who had cheated his son.
