Chapter 548: Admitting Mistakes and Correcting Them

Before daybreak, Qi Xianguan went to the water mill on the river bank, carrying a sword, under the pretext of morning exercise, and waited secretly.

I didn't wait too long before I saw a familiar figure, wearing a veil on his head and carrying a hoe on his shoulder, staggering down the mountain and heading straight for the fields.

When passing by the water mill, the figure saw him, tilted his head slightly, and left without even saying hello.

Qi Xianguan followed suspiciously, and followed all the way to Qin Yao's farmland, then he called out uncertainly: "Junior brother?"

The man wearing a veil on his head kept walking and hummed in a muffled voice.

I don’t know if I was worrying too much, but Qi Xianguan always felt that the voice was particularly hoarse.

etc!

Would Liu Ji take the initiative to go to the fields to work with a hoe?

Qi Xianguan took two quick steps and caught up with the man in front of him, but unfortunately the ridge of the field was narrow. He tried several times to go forward and see the man's face, but failed and almost fell into the field.

Fortunately, the person in front of him was quick to reach out and grab him.

"Junior brother, remember to watch your step." Liu Ji put him down, stopped in his own field, rolled up his sleeves, made a few "Puh" sounds, grabbed the hoe and went down to the field.

Qi Xianguan stood blankly on the edge of the field, watching him honestly and diligently digging up and breaking up the dry land bit by bit. He closed his eyes tightly. Could he be hallucinating?

But when I opened my eyes, I saw the man hoeing the field still working diligently.

"Junior brother, are you okay?" Qi Xianguan frowned and asked tentatively.

The man who was hoeing the field did not even turn his head and said softly, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern and for waiting for me at the intersection so early in the morning."

Qi Xianguan, "Why do you bring Mi Li with you?"

Looking up at the sky, the sun hasn't come out yet, and autumn is over, so the sun is not hot enough to warm people.

Could it be that he was beaten black and blue by Madam Qin and was too embarrassed to show his face to others, so he wore a veil to cover himself?

Qi Xianguan was just guessing at various possibilities when he saw the man in the field stand up straight, slowly turn around, and take off the veil on his head in front of him.

Contrary to expectations, there were no bruises.

But as expected, there were indeed some changes on his face that were not easy to show to others.

The pair of most dazzling and charming peach blossom eyes were now red and swollen like walnuts. Qi Xianguan was caught off guard and was shocked.

"Junior brother, your eyes."

"Yes, my eyes." Liu Ji smiled bitterly, raised his hand and gently stroked his eyes. Just a light touch made him gasp in pain, "These are all the tears of regret I shed."

Thinking back to last night, there was a faint gleam of water in his eyes which were so red and swollen that only a thin slit remained.

But as my wife said, it is a great honor to admit your mistakes and improve them, and it is a hero's sign to remedy them in time!

Liu Ji blinked his eyes, forced out the tears, put on the fence again and continued to cultivate the land.

There are ten acres of land and he is the only one in charge. If he doesn't work hard, he might not be able to make it in time for planting wheat. Then the seeds buried in the land will become him.

Seeing his junior fellow apprentice who could neither lift nor carry anything transform into a whirlwind plowman, Qi Xiangguan stood on the ridge of the field, unable to recover.

It was not until the first ray of sunlight fell on my face and my body felt warm that I suddenly woke up.

He asked again with concern: "Junior brother, did Madam really not do anything to you?"

Liu Ji looked back and smiled gratefully, "My wife hit me because she loves me. I have no regrets."

Qi Xianguan was deeply shocked. Junior brother, so you are this kind of junior brother!

But how could one person know such a shocking thing? He wanted to go back and tell his master!

So, at noon when the sun is shining brightly.

Liu Ji was alone in the field, using all his strength to hoe the ground quickly.

On the ridge of the field, a circle of people gathered and looked at him.

Among these people, in addition to Gong Liangliao and the guards who were brought by Qi Xianguan at the beginning, there were also most of the villagers in Liujia Village.

After all, no one has ever seen a scholar working in the fields, and this scholar is Liu Saner, a well-known ruffian in the village, which is even more strange.

As fate would have it, Liu Ji's reputation for not forgetting his roots spread quietly in the village, and anyone who heard the name Liu Ji couldn't help but show an expression of admiration.

Only Master Gong Liangliao and his apprentice who knew the truth felt that the world was too absurd when they heard these people in the village praising Liu Ji!

After five whole days of hard work day and night, Liu Ji finally finished hoing the ten acres of land.

After spending another three days to plant all the wheat seeds, his days of living a life worse than death finally came to an end.

"Ma'am, I'm done!"

In the evening, at the dinner table, when Qin Yao and the children picked up their chopsticks and were about to start eating, Liu Ji, sweaty, with messy hair and tattered clothes, rushed in happily and reported loudly.

A pair of peach blossom eyes, whose redness and swelling had disappeared, looked at the sumptuous meal on the table with longing, and couldn't help swallowing.

There was no other way. He couldn't eat at the table for eight days in a row. Three meals a day were all white porridge with vegetables. He could still hold on only by going to the Lotus Courtyard to get two pieces of meat every day.

As for the old house, he didn't dare go there at all. The evil woman had already told them in advance that whoever dared to take him in and have meals at her home would have no chance of working in the stationery factory anymore.

The only place that dared to take him in, the Lotus Temple, did not dare to let him stay for long. They only let him squat at the gate and secretly eat two pieces of meat every day.

Because of this, Qi Xianguan didn't dare to go to Qin Yao's house to find Dalang these days, for fear of running into Qin Yao and being tortured by her sharp eyes.

In short, during these eight days, not only did Liu Ji live a life worse than death, but everyone else in the family also became very cautious and did not dare to make any loud movements.

Now hearing that Dad had finally finished the work in the fields, everyone at the table breathed a sigh of relief, and then all looked at Qin Yao, waiting for her final decision.

Being watched by so many eyes, Qin Yao calmly put down the chopsticks she had just picked up, turned around and asked:

"Have all ten acres of wheat been completed according to Awang's standards last year?"

Liu Jimang nodded, his eyes sincere, "Exactly."

Qin Yao winked at Awang, who stood up and left the table. Half a quarter of an hour later, he returned and reported, "Madam, everything has indeed been completed."

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Liu Ji had unlimited potential.

It's just that the pig's brain is always confused, and he needs to be hit from time to time to wake him up.

"Madam, can I come to the table to eat?" Liu Ji asked cautiously, staring at the chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table.

Qin Yao paused for a moment, and when the light of expectation in Liu Ji's eyes gradually dimmed, she hummed, "Clean yourself up, don't dirty my table and chairs."

The surprise came too suddenly, Liu Ji couldn't control the smile on his face, showing his big white teeth, "Okay!"

He immediately threw away the farm tools in his hands, washed his hands and face, and used the water stains on his hands to tidy up his messy hair, then sat down at the table like a decent person.

Li brought new bowls and chopsticks. Liu Ji picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating. He heard Dalang cough violently, and then he realized that the head of the family had not yet started eating.

He put down his chopsticks with a wry smile and made a flattering gesture to Qin Yao, saying "please use your food".
