When the three of them got home, it was already past midnight. Xiaoshan Niang had already fallen asleep and got up quickly when she heard the noise.

"Why did you come back at this time?" Xiaoshan Niang saw that several people looked uncomfortable, and she felt a little unsure, "What happened?"

Li Qingyou waved her hand and said it was okay. Xiaoshan Niang obviously didn't believe it. She wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Zhao Xiaoshan who was on the side. "Mom, girls, they are all tired. Let them rest quickly."

Li Qingyou glanced at him, Zhao Xiaoshan was getting more and more powerful.

Xiaoshan Niang quickly came to her senses after her son reminded her, "Yes, yes, come in quickly. I've laid out the kang, so you can sleep quickly."

You must sleep, but not now.

"Auntie, is there still food?" Li Qingyou looked at Xiaoshan Niang, covering her stomach with her hands, "I'm starving to death."

She still had lunch for lunch until now, not only her, but also Liu Xiaosan, and her brother also didn't eat dinner.

Xiaoshan Niang continued to say, "I put it on the stove to keep it warm, so I thought you would be hungry when you came back."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the kitchen and took out all the food.

Li Qingyou was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. Now she couldn't care less about her appearance and started eating.

The same goes for Adi and Liu Xiaosan. The three of them devoured their food and the little mountain girl looked at each other and said, "Eat slowly, there is not enough. What's going on? Why are you so hungry?"

Before Li Qingyou could say anything, Liu Xiaosan took the empty bowl and filled it with a bowl of multi-grain rice, saying, "Don't mention it, it's still lunch. I haven't had enough water to eat until now, and I'm almost starving to death.

"

"Hey, why don't you eat?" Xiaoshan Niang asked smoothly.

It's not like she has to ask questions, she just habitually talks nonsense.

Liu Xiaosan opened his mouth but didn't say the rest. Although he was a little stupid, he still understood the importance.

"Mom, has the kang in your house burned down?" Zhao Xiaoshan, a little expert in rescuing the house, stepped forward again, "It's the autumn season, so it's better to burn it down to avoid the cold at night."

Originally, he should have gone home and slept by now, but it was so late and neither Li Qingyou nor Adi came back. He was worried, so he never left.

"Yes, yes, I've forgotten about this, I'll go right away." Xiaoshan Niang stood up again and went to get some firewood and stuff it into the stove in the west room.

Li Qingyou had almost finished eating here, so she put down the bowls and chopsticks, took out ten taels of silver from her purse and placed them in front of Zhao Xiaoshan.

"This..." Zhao Xiaoshan was startled, stood up and stepped back, looking at Li Qingyou in surprise, "Girl, what are you..."

Li Qingyou smiled and said, "Take it, you did a good job this time, this is a reward for you."

She was referring to the wood that Zhao Xiaoshan had found this time. Otherwise, even if Manager Cao and Boss Liu were exposed, the construction schedule would still be delayed.

Even if Li Qingyou ordered Zhao Xiaoshan to do something, he is the one who does it after all. He must be punished when it is time to punish him, and he must not be vague when it is time to reward him. Otherwise, who will serve you attentively?

Zhao Xiaoshan waved his hands repeatedly, "No, this is all my job, no reward is needed."

Ten taels of silver was too much. In the past, it was enough for the two of them to spend for a year. But now that the two of them are working under the girl's hands, they no longer have to be hungry and well-fed like before. Zhao Xiaoshan is sincere.

Outward contentment.

Don't dare to think any more.

"Are you refusing like this because you don't want to do anything for me in the future?" Li Qingyou said with a smile.

Zhao Xiaoshan waved his hands repeatedly, "How can that be possible? Being able to do things for the girl is a blessing that Xiaoshan has cultivated in his previous life. Unless the girl chases me away, otherwise I will follow the girl for the rest of my life."

Xiaoshan Niang also heard the noise and ran over. She was startled when she saw the ten taels of silver on the table and asked what was going on.

"Xiaoshan did a good job this time. This is a reward for him. Auntie, please take it for him." Li Qingyou smiled and pushed the silver towards Xiaoshan Niang.

The mother and son refused again, until they saw that Li Qingyou really wanted to give it to them, so they accepted it.

"Look at how bad this is, we two are even eating and taking it, this..." Xiaoshan Niang was mumbling as she carefully put the money into her purse.

My son will be fifteen after the Chinese New Year, and when he is old enough to say goodbye, this is the time to spend money.

Ten taels of silver is enough to buy a daughter-in-law. If the girl's condition is poor, she won't even need so much.

The more Xiaoshan Niang thought about it, the more beautiful she became. She also felt that her son had the ability to make so much money in one fell swoop.

Zhao Xiaoshan is also very beautiful, not only because he received so much reward, but also because the girl praised him, which shows that he is a useful person, and he feels at ease when making money.

Adi also looked at Liu Xiaosan. The most basic thing about his Majesty is that rewards and punishments are clear. Liu Xiaosan has done things for him several times, so it stands to reason that he should be rewarded.

But he didn't have much money. His pocket money was given to him by his sister Qingyou, and the rest was earned from copying books.

It's just that he couldn't bear to part with it.

But it doesn’t matter. Rewards don’t necessarily have to be money, other rewards can also be used.

For example, teach him a few tricks. After all, Liu Xiaosan shoulders the important task of protecting his sister Qingyou. If he knows how to do it twice, sister Qingyou's safety will be more guaranteed.

In the next few days, Li Qingyou still worked on the ranch early in the morning and late at night, and Adi also copied books as usual. Although he already knew that the deeds of the house and land at home had been redeemed, he still did not stop.

This is mainly because I take this opportunity to practice calligraphy.

In addition, Adi also caught Liu Xiaosan in the morning and night and taught him a few times. Of course Adi didn't know much, but compared to Liu Xiaosan who had no foundation at all, he was like a hero.

's existence.

Since Liu Xiaosan had no foundation at all, it was basically impossible to learn from the basics, so Adi could only teach him some simple and practical ones. Although these would not work at all when he encountered a really strong enemy, it was usually no problem to bluff people.

So Adi taught him three and a half moves.

This was a move that Uncle Zhong had taught him. It was a move that he used to sneak attack when he couldn't defeat the opponent, and then find an opportunity to retreat.

Liu Xiaosan studied very seriously. All men like to dance with swords and sticks, and Liu Xiaosan was no exception. After a few days, it was really like that.

"The posture is acceptable, but the proficiency is not enough. I need to practice more when I have nothing to do." Adi nodded after watching Liu Xiaosan perform a set of three and a half moves, "Practice makes perfect. This is the same as fighting. The soldiers are not there.

It's all about being good. As long as you learn these tricks well, ordinary people won't be able to get in front of you."

Liu Xiaosan's eyes gleamed, and he believed in his brother's words. Of course, he also believed in the words of Li Qingyou and his sister.
