Li Qingyou felt heartbroken when he heard Adi's whimpering like a little beast, and hurriedly rubbed the tangled hair on his head.

"Don't say yes, why did you come back? I'm waiting for you to put on autumn fat, so I haven't even eaten yet." Xiaoshan Niang also ran over closely, and couldn't help mumbling, "Just say do it.

In business, you can't ignore your health, right?"

Li Qingyou smiled. Although Xiaoshan Niang was quite nagging, the people who said these words were quite warm in their hearts.

He returned his hand and patted the back of Adi who was holding her tight and wouldn't let go, "Let's go in."

Adi didn't say anything, just nodded, released his hands and hugged Li Qingyou's arm, and followed him into the house.

Xiaoshan Niang made dumplings in the evening and also fried a few vegetables. Although they were all green vegetables, tofu and the like, her excellent cooking skills made up for the singleness and shortcomings of the ingredients.

This is also an important reason why Li Qingyou insists on inviting her in addition to trust. After a busy day, eating delicious meals will not only enhance happiness but also reduce fatigue.

"Wow, it smells so good." Li Qingyou was extremely moved. The days she was living these days were simply not human life. Apart from fooling around with food every day, she didn't know how long it had been since she had sat down at the table to have a good meal.

.

The dishes had been prepared before, but the dumplings hadn't been cooked yet. Xiaoshan Niang told Li Qingyou to wait a while while going to the kitchen to cook the dumplings.

Li Qingyou was not idle either. He filled a basin of water to wash his face and hands. During the process, his brother followed behind him. Several times, Li Qingyou suddenly turned around and almost bumped into him.

"Why are you following me? Come and sit at the table. Dinner is about to begin." Li Qingyou rubbed the messy hair on his head out of habit.

Adi nodded, but still didn't move. He followed Li Qingyou wherever he went, which made Li Qingyou confused. I wonder what happened to him?

After washing up, Zhao Xiaoshan had cooked the dumplings and brought them out. Xiaoshan Niang also quickly cleaned up the kitchen and returned to the main room.

Several people sat around the table. Xiaoshan Niang also got some shabu knives and put them on the table, ready to pour some for everyone except Adi.

When Xiaoshan Niang brought the jug over, Li Qingyou hurriedly raised his hand to cover the bowl, "I won't drink anymore, you can drink."

Even before she traveled through time, she had never drank any liquor. At most, she drank some red wine, beer or something like that. The taste of liquor was really off-putting.

"Just one bowl is fine." Xiaoshan Niang likes to drink a few sips, and she occasionally drinks some at home. "Drink some to help you sleep well at night."

This is what Little Mountain Dad said most often when he was alive.

Li Qingyou still shook his head. Shaodaozi was considered a very strong wine, and the taste was a bit pungent when he smelled it, let alone drank it.

"Mom, how can I be like you? You still force others to drink if they don't want to drink." Zhao Xiaoshan stopped his mother in time and handed over his bowl, "I'll just drink with you."

Xiaoshan Niang almost lost her voice when she was so excited. She knew she felt sorry for her daughter-in-law. However, the next moment she sighed in her heart. It would be okay if Li Qingyou's deal didn't go through. But if it did go through, she probably wouldn't be able to keep her daughter-in-law.

.

But seeing how Li Qingyou wakes up early every day and wants to work until late at night, yet I can’t bear to see her trying to get nothing out of a bamboo basket. It’s really a contradiction.

Xiaoshan Niang was thinking wildly when she suddenly heard an ouch. When she came back to her senses, she saw Li Qingyou covering her mouth with her face wrinkled. She suddenly became happy and said, "Ouch, I want you to grab the autumn fat this year."

Already."

Li Qingyou spit out the copper coins in her mouth along with the dumplings, complaining secretly that she had forgotten about it. In previous years, Mrs. Li would wrap copper coins in the dumplings, and whoever ate them represented good luck for the year.

The meaning is quite good, but...it hurts so much, I feel like my tooth is about to fall out.

The dumplings filled with copper coins were specially prepared and memorized. After the meal, everyone got copper coins, and everyone was very happy.

Because Li Qingyou came back "early" today, Xiaoshan Niang didn't stay here at night. "It's okay if I don't take care of you at home. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Li Qingyou sent the mother and son to the gate. When she saw them walking away, she was about to close the gate. When she turned around, she suddenly saw a person standing in the shadow diagonally opposite. She exclaimed in fright, "Who?"

The person in the shadow took a step forward. It was a full moon tonight, and the silver light was shining above his head. Li Qingyou could also see the other person clearly.

"Zhang Tieniu?" Since the last incident, Li Qingyou has never called him Brother Tieniu in person, but directly called him by his first and last name.

More than ten days have passed since he broke in at night. Under the moonlight, we couldn't see clearly what his face looked like, but we could clearly see that he had lost a lot of weight and seemed to be quite haggard. His chin was covered with stubble.

Li Qingyou had nothing to say to him. She just glanced at him and turned around to go into the yard before he spoke. She held her hand on the door and said, "If you dare to mess around again, I won't be merciful this time."

Li Qingyou didn't look back when she said this, and closed the door with a clang as soon as she finished speaking.

Zhang Tieniu staggered a step, his expression was miserable, he would not show any mercy anymore...

Li Qingyou ignored Zhang Tieniu. She had already said what she said. If he persisted in his insistence, she would keep his word.

But when she entered the house, she found two more copper locks, which she bought specially after Zhang Tieniu's stall that day.

Although the door latch can be inserted from the inside, a dagger can be used to pry it open through the crack of the door from the outside. That's why Zhang Tieniu was able to come in through the back door that day, but adding a copper lock inside is different. Even the most sophisticated thief can't

Maybe the lock can be picked open through a door.

It's just that it takes a little effort to go to the toilet at night.

After locking both the front and back doors and placing the key on the window sill next to the door, Li Qingyou returned to the house and was about to wash up before going to bed when she saw Adi walking over obediently with his head lowered.

Li Qingyou looked over suspiciously, a little confused about Adi's appearance.

"I was wrong." Adi pouted and said something so loud that Li Qingyou couldn't hear it clearly.

"What?"

"I said I was wrong." Adi raised his head and looked over pitifully with his big obsidian eyes.

Li Qingyou raised his eyebrows, what was the cause of this trouble?

After Adi said this, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I did what happened that night."

He was referring to the incident of stripping off Zhang Tieniu's clothes that day. However, when he saw Li Qingyou's puzzled eyes, his heart was filled with regret.

He thought that Sister Qingyou went out early and came back late these days because she was angry with him. Although he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, the incident of Sister Qingyou's bleeding that made him angry last time cast a huge shadow on him, so he was willing to

Admit your mistake.

But right now...
