I transmigrated into a farming novel and started with a campervan.

Li placed the Solomon's Seal along with the basket in the bedroom before calling out, "Who is it? They're here."

Before long, Wang Yiyi heard Li's happy voice: "Chengzong, you've come all this way, why did you bring anything? Come inside quickly."

Upon hearing this, Er Ya and Er Tou ran out in a flash, with Da Tou following behind with a smile.

Da Ya quickly tidied her hair before walking out with a shy expression.

Wang Yi didn't move; she didn't really like Jiang Chengzong.

A moment later, Madam Li welcomed the man in. When she saw what Jiang Chengzong was holding, she rolled her eyes even further and blurted out, "Just two eggs?"

Jiang Chengzong held an egg in each hand, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, and said loudly, "The chickens at home have also suffered. These are the eggs laid by the two chickens my uncle just sent over. There are only two, so I brought them all."

Li quickly took the eggs from Jiang Chengzong's hand and glared at Wang Yiyi: "You talk too much."

Then, with a smile, he said to Jiang Chengzong, "Chengzong, Sanya is still young, so don't take her words to heart. Your uncle hunted a pheasant today. We'll call your parents later, and we'll have pheasant stew with mushrooms tonight."

Jiang Chengzong did not refuse, "Then we're in for a treat tonight."

After Jiang Chengzong left, Li immediately boiled water and killed a chicken. Wang Yiyi couldn't help but ask, "Mother, has Jiang Chengzong always been like this, eating and drinking for free?"

Li's face stiffened: "You child, how can you talk like that? Chengzong is your future brother-in-law. What's wrong with him coming over for a meal once in a while? Is this how I've always taught you?"

Seeing that Li was truly angry, Wang Yiyi stopped talking; those involved are often blinded by their own emotions.

In her eyes, Jiang Chengzong was just a freeloader.

Moreover, they specifically chose to do this when there was something delicious at home. Last time it was steamed buns, and this time it was pheasant. She reasonably suspected that the Jiang family had taken the two eggs after seeing that Wang Dashan had hunted a pheasant.

After all, Wang Dashan didn't keep a low profile at all when he returned home from the mountain. It's estimated that the whole village knows that they hunted pheasants and dug up Solomon's seal.

Seeing that she was in low spirits, Daya pulled her aside and whispered an explanation: "This marriage was arranged by Mother. Jiang Chengzong is a scholar, and our family is indeed marrying above our station."

She paused for a moment and then said, "I feel sorry for Mother because she is so humble towards the Jiang family, but I know she is doing it for us. If this marriage goes through, you and Er Ya will be able to marry into better families, and your eldest brother and Er Tou will also be able to marry good wives."

Wang Yi sighed. Wasn't Daya just like Li Shi, sacrificing for this family?

The Great Qi was a truly agrarian society.

Although the Wang family was not starving, they did not own much land, and Wang Dashan went hunting in the mountains to supplement the family income.

Hunters' income is extremely unstable, mostly relying on luck, and it's dangerous. Otherwise, Da Tou wouldn't be nineteen years old and still not married.

She squeezed Daya's hand, her face solemn: "Big sister, I will definitely earn lots and lots of money, buy lots and lots of land, so that you can all live a good life without having to beg anyone."

Da Ya chuckled and patted her head: "Okay, I believe you."

Wang Yiyi was somewhat dissatisfied; these words were too perfunctory.

When the pheasant was almost cooked, Li sent Ertou to call for help.

This time, the Jiang family didn't have to urge them three or four times; they came over after being called once. As soon as Wu entered the door, she said, "You're too kind. It's just about two eggs, yet you specially invited us over for dinner."

Inviting someone to dinner suddenly turned into a thank you gesture, which Li Shi didn't want to accept at all. Her face stiffened.

He picked a chicken leg out of the pot and handed it to Wang Yiyi, then poked his head out from the kitchen: "What a coincidence, isn't it? Family members don't exchange more than a few words."

Wang Yi smiled and began to eat the chicken leg with gusto.

She had eaten pheasants before. Once, she couldn't find a place to resupply for more than half a month, so she had to hunt a pheasant. It was tough and fishy, ​​and the taste was unforgettable for her.

But Li's cooking was different; it had no fishy smell at all, was full of flavor, and was very tender. She squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Li smiled and said, "Wipe your mouth, and eat at the table later. Wash your hands beforehand this time."

Last time, because Ms. Wu asked her daughter to wash her hands, her daughter didn't get to eat a single white steamed bun. She didn't say anything, but she still remembered it.

A large pot of pheasant and mushroom stew, a pot of wild vegetables stewed in chicken fat, and a pot of scrambled eggs with chives were served. The feast was so plentiful that it looked like it was New Year's Day. A smile appeared more clearly on Wu's face.

She gave one of the chicken legs to Jiang Chengzong and then started looking for another chicken leg.

"Why is there only one chicken leg?" she finally asked when everyone was getting impatient.

Mrs. Li laughed and said, "The children have a sweet tooth, so we let them have a taste of it early."

Wu's smile froze for a moment. She picked out a piece of good meat and placed it in Jiang Mantun's bowl, then changed the subject: "The teacher I visited last time sent a letter saying that Chengzong is exceptionally talented and wants to take him as a student."

Li was overjoyed: "This is a good thing! Chengzong's future is definitely limitless."

Wang Yiyi didn't understand. He had only become an apprentice; what was there to brag about? It wasn't like he had become the top scholar in the imperial examination.

She didn't say anything, but silently put two pieces of meat in her own bowl, and also put some in her older brother's, older sister's, and parents' bowls.

Mrs. Wu was flattered by the praise: "That's right, Chengzong in our family has been smart since he was a child."

Looking down, he noticed that there were only a few pieces of chicken left in the pot. Then he looked at the Wang family members, whose bowls were all full. His face darkened immediately, and he said to Daya, "Daya, if Chengzong becomes an official in the future, you will be an official's wife. There are some rules to follow, so you should learn them in advance."

Daya lowered her head and responded softly.

Wang Yiyi said sarcastically, "Let's talk about it when you really want to become an official."

This time, Li pretended not to hear, lowered her head, and ate her meal.

Jiang Mantun, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "Brother Dashan, take me with you when you go up the mountain tomorrow."

Wang Dashan asked in surprise, "Why?"

Jiang Mantun glanced at Jiang Chengzong, seemingly pleased yet troubled: "The tuition fees for this teacher are not cheap, and we'll have to go to another place. Everything from food and lodging will cost money. I'll go to the mountains to try my luck. Even if I can't find ginseng or polygonatum, finding some herbs will be good. We can't let the children's studies be delayed."

Jiang Chengzong looked at Jiang Mantun with a guilty expression: "I will repay you properly when my son becomes successful."

Mrs. Wu wiped her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't want to bring this up, but the teacher said we need to raise the tuition fees within half a month. I...you see..."

Li looked troubled: "It's not that I'm unwilling, but you know our family's situation. We were just robbed of everything by the Dayong people, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't come up with any money."
