The male protagonist falls in love with me again

Chapter 109: The Male Lead in the Imperial Examination: A Warm Home

As soon as the sky was getting light and a hint of paleness appeared in the east, the woman got up quietly for fear of waking up her family.

She quickly walked to the kitchen and started to light a fire and cook.

I saw her skillfully pick up the flint and dry firewood, rub them gently, sparks fly, then put the fire into the stove, blew gently with her mouth, and the flames quickly burned.

Then, she scooped a few scoops of water into the pot. After the water boiled, she put rice, millet and other ingredients into the pot and cooked them into porridge.

Smoke rises up and spreads through the windows into the entire yard, filling this quiet little village with the smell of life.

Old Mrs. Chen was dressed neatly and walked out of the room. She saw her eldest daughter-in-law busy in the kitchen at a glance. She couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

She felt that her eldest daughter-in-law performed well in all aspects except for not giving birth to a son.

In comparison, her young daughter-in-law gave her a lot of headaches.

The daughter-in-law, relying on the fact that she gave birth to a well-behaved and lovely grandson, always finds various excuses to be lazy and likes to spread gossip everywhere.

More than half of the rumors in the village were spread by her. For this, Old Chen had scolded her many times, but she always forgot the pain after the scar healed and continued to make the same mistake the next day.

Later, Mrs. Chen was too lazy to care about her. As long as she didn't go too far, she would turn a blind eye. After all, her problems were just minor ones.

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy, other people in the family also woke up from their sleep one after another.

"Second son's wife, it's already noon and you're just getting up?"

"Hurry up and fetch me some water!" Old Mrs. Chen became dissatisfied when she saw Zhang Min yawning and started yelling.

Zhang's face was filled with flattering smiles, just like a pug: "Hehe... Mother, don't be angry, your daughter-in-law will go right away."

As she spoke, she playfully winked at Li Dashan next to her.

The man understood what he meant, turned around and rushed into the kitchen like a gust of wind, quickly taking out a wooden barrel and a carrying pole.

Then, the couple walked out of the door with light steps like butterflies.

Old Chen gave the two men a fierce look from behind. Her eyes seemed to want to poke two holes in them. She really wished she were blind at this moment so that she wouldn't be annoyed by what she saw.

After the girls in the family got up, they were also busy. The eldest girl helped clean the yard;

Erniu was like a good little rabbit, helping to light the fire;

Sanniu and Siniu helped grandma pull weeds in the vegetable garden.

Everyone is doing their job and is busy having fun.

The men in the family are also busy, repairing here and mending there, contributing their efforts to the family.

The most idle person in the whole family was Li Xiaoyao. At this moment, he was still sleeping soundly in the house like a dead pig.

Li Xiaoyao rubbed his eyes in a daze and walked out of the room, only to find that no one was at home. It turned out that the adults had all gone out to work, and only Siniu was at home.

As soon as Si Niu saw her brother wake up, she immediately ran to the kitchen like a happy little bird, carefully picked up a basin of hot water, and then quickly walked to Li Xiaoyao and said gently, "Brother, let me wash your face!"

Li Xiaoyao was shocked. How could she dare to let her sister serve her?

He hurriedly said, "Fourth sister, I'll do it myself!"

After hearing this, Si Niu felt a little disappointed, but she still obediently handed the hot towel in her hand to Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao took the towel, wiped his face quickly, and instantly felt much more energetic.

After washing up, Li Xiaoyao looked at the cute little girl in front of him and his heart was filled with warmth.

When Si Niu saw that Li Xiaoyao had finished washing up, she jumped into the kitchen and carefully brought out the breakfast she had prepared for him.

Li Xiaoyao's breakfast was very rich. There was a bowl of fragrant rice and a bowl of golden and tempting egg custard with a few slices of fresh and delicious bacon on top.

He knew that this was all the love and care his family showed him, because his meals were always the best in the family.

Li Xiaoyao gently scooped a spoonful of egg custard with a spoon, brought it to her sister's mouth, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, you should try it too!"

Si Niu was so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits and her mouth opened wide. She said excitedly: "Thank you, brother!"

Li Xiaoyao felt very satisfied when she saw her sister eating so happily.

The brother and sister took turns eating and soon finished their breakfast.

They ate and chatted, and their laughter echoed throughout the house, making people feel extremely warm.
