Chapter 14: Catch the Man in the Act

Under the instruction of his second uncle, Li Yi can have the final say on all matters concerning the school. Tianlai Xiao's words

This made Li Yi very satisfied. To some extent, this old man is still very open-minded...

So, whether to have two days of classes and one day off or one day of classes and two days off depends on his mood.

The significance of the Liuye Village School is nothing more than to prevent these naughty children from running around the village, so that the adults, or more accurately, the old man, will not be upset. Rather than saying that Li Yi is a teacher, it is better to say that he is a nanny.

At best, he is a willful nanny.

Today, he willfully gave the naughty children a day off. As for the reason...does a reason need to be given for a holiday?

However, although there is another day to rest, Li Yi's mood is not so bright.

Before, although Li Yi's family was not rich, he did not have a hard life. After coming to this world, even if he cooked in different ways every day, it was difficult for a clever scholar to cook without rice. Every day, it was either porridge or noodles. After a long time, no one could stand it.

In this regard, Li Yi felt that he was not even as good as the three women.

Even Xiaohuan and the others did not say anything, and they ate happily every day. It was a bit too delicate for a grown man to complain about this and that.

"Alas..."

Li Yi sighed deeply, and missed the days when he was raised like a pig by his mother at home. He always had food to eat, and he didn't need to cook by himself. After coming here, he was busy in the kitchen every day, and even his cooking skills that had been abandoned for a long time soared at a rocket-like speed.

He had been missing for so long, and he didn't know how sad his mother would be, and his group of best friends------Every time he thought of these, Li Yi's mood began to become gloomy.

"Xiaohu, Xiaohu, little bastard, where have you been, come back to eat!"

The second aunt Wu next door was calling her son to eat again. Among the naughty children in the village, Liu Xiaohu was the most naughty, and his body was much stronger than other naughty children, just like the king of the children in Liuye Village.

"Aunt, Brother Xiaohu said that you don't have to wait for him when you eat. He wants to go to the other side of the mountain to rescue a monkey trapped under the mountain." Hearing Wu shouting at the top of her voice, a naughty child playing on a mound not far away raised his head, pointed at a mountain peak in the distance with snot bubbles, and said loudly.

Wu's face changed immediately after hearing this.

He hurriedly locked the door and ran in the direction pointed by the naughty child.

Li Yi was stunned at the door. The women in Liuye Village were really more fierce than each other. Even the second aunt, who had such a round body, could burst out with such speed...

"Hello, sir!"

The naughty child looked up and found Li Yi standing at the door. He immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.

In front of Li Yi, these naughty children have always been well-behaved.

Li Yi waved his hand, and the naughty kids ran away. Although Li Yi was very approachable during class, the teacher was still a teacher after all, and the naughty kids were still a little afraid.

Li Yi raised his head and looked at the mountain in the distance. A few days ago, Liu Xiaohu and a few naughty kids were sneaking in the corner to discuss going to Wuzhi Mountain to save some monkeys... It turned out that they were referring to this.

Looking at the posture of his second aunt Wu, he might not be able to save the monkey, so he should think of a way to save himself first.

A fat hen passed by him, and Li Yi couldn't help but miss the bowl of mushroom stewed chicken noodles not long ago.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Li Yi turned his head and looked in the direction where Wu left, thinking.

Liu Xiaohu is not here, and Wu is not here either...

Well, it's decided, extra food tonight!

Still at the familiar stream behind the village, Li Yi took out the scissors that he had prepared long ago from a cloth bag, skillfully killed and plucked the chicken, cut open its belly, and cleaned out some useless internal organs...

After finishing all the work, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and looked back suddenly, and saw a charming figure, standing on a big rock not far behind him with her arms folded, looking at him with a playful look.

Li Yi's expression froze, and the scissors in his hand fell to the ground.

"What a coincidence..." He greeted him awkwardly.

Being caught stealing chickens is obviously not a good thing.

Especially when the person who saw him was his nominal sister-in-law, even if Li Yi was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed at this moment.

Liu Ruyi glanced at Li Yi lightly, but didn't say anything. She tapped her toes lightly, and the whole person floated down the boulder lightly, and her back figure quickly disappeared from Li Yi's sight.

Watching her back disappear, Li Yi breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

It seems that this always cool sister-in-law has no intention of telling on others. Thinking about it carefully, she was also a member of the spoils last time, and there is no reason to do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit herself...

Thinking this way, Li Yi also put his mind at ease, skillfully wrapped the processed chicken, and walked towards the direction of the village.

When he walked to the front door, Liu Xiaohu was crying miserably in the next yard. Wu may have been really angry this time and planned to teach Liu Xiaohu a lesson that he would never forget. The miserably crying of the naughty child lasted twice as long as before.

"What a sin..."

Li Yi shook his head and walked into his own yard.

Xiao Huan sat at the door of the kitchen. Since Li Yi stopped her from going to the kitchen, she became idle every time it was time for dinner. When she heard footsteps at the door, she looked up suddenly and saw her uncle coming in with a familiar cloth bag. She stood up and said in surprise: "Uncle, you picked up a pheasant again!"

Compared with modern times, people's diet at that time was still very simple, mostly steaming and boiling. They ate more light food, and Li Yi missed the taste of stir-fried dishes very much.

But at that time, vegetable oil was still very scarce. At least there was no such thing in the village that only rich people could enjoy. As for cooking with lard------if you get high blood pressure and high blood lipids, there is no cure in this place.

Moreover, Li Yi couldn't accept this kind of thing psychologically.

A bowl of light chicken noodles, without many side dishes, can also make people eat with relish.

The only thing that was not perfect and affected people's mood was that when eating, Wu stood at the door of her house again, with her hands on her hips, turning on the shrew mode, and cursing the thief who stole her hens with extremely vicious words.

What Xiaohuan admired most at present was Li Yi's cooking skills, and of course his luck of picking up a fat pheasant every time he went out for a walk. Recently, when Li Yi was cooking, the little maid often watched on the side, imagining when her cooking skills would become as good as her son-in-law's.

Not only cooking skills, but also good luck for her son-in-law!

Every time he went out for a walk, he could pick up a pheasant, unlike the second aunt, who couldn't even take care of the chickens she raised at home...

------

Li Yi keenly discovered that in recent days, the atmosphere in the village seemed to have changed from before.

Liu Ruyi, who always went alone, began to often get together with some girls of the same age in the village. Xiaohuan, who usually didn't go far away, also began to go in and out frequently, and I don't know what she was busy with.

When Li Yi finally couldn't help asking the question in his mind, the little maid raised her head, showing two shallow dimples, and said with a smile: "Master, have you forgotten that in a few days, it will be the Qiqiao Festival!"
