The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 84

Qin Muwen gave the newly acquired ger the name Xiaocha.

When Xiaocha first arrived, his face was covered in dust. Yesterday, Qin Muwen didn't assign him any tasks. Instead, he let Xiaocha take a bath and then explained the rules to him. After that, he asked Xiaocha to tidy up the room and rest.

At that moment, Li Jin was sitting on the side, sipping tea. He observed the young boy who appeared serious and attentive. Li Jin said, "While our family doesn't have many strict rules, it's important to adhere to them..."

In reality, Qin Muwen's words were about basic rules such as not stealing and not disturbing the master's reading. Despite having a naturally friendly demeanor, Qin Muwen made an effort to appear stern and serious.

Once he finished speaking and received Xiaocha's response, Qin Muwen didn't assign him any tasks. He said, "Rest today, and tomorrow I will explain what you need to do."

"Understood, Zhufu."

After Qin Muwen finished speaking, he noticed that Li Jin was smiling as he looked at him. As Qin Muwen approached, he asked in a hushed tone, "Li Jin, am I being too strict?"

Li Jin playfully pinched his face and replied, "Not too strict, but the effect of your guidance is effective."

Although their family members were generally easygoing, they also understood the importance of maintaining authority. This initial show of authority was necessary.

If Xiaocha proved to be capable, they would naturally take good care of him. However, if he showed any signs of dishonesty, they would need to discipline him.

However, considering Xiaocha's young age, he likely didn't possess complicated intentions.

With Qin Muwen's assertiveness, Xiaocha would think twice before betraying the family's trust in the future.

On the first day of June, after Li Jin finished his class, he was preparing to head for a meal when he realized that all the students in the academy were hurrying towards the Confucian Temple.

He stopped Zou Xiujie and inquired, "What's going on?"

Zou Xiujie explained, "The rankings are being posted! Li Jinge, the assessment rankings from last month are being displayed on the back wall of the Confucian Temple. Everyone is going to check them out."

Zou Xiujie had expected Li Jin to accompany him, but to his surprise, Li Jin changed direction. He saw that Li Jin was heading towards the Academy's kitchen.

Li Jin explained, "I'm not in a rush to see the rankings. Since everyone else is checking them, I should be able to buy the chicken this time."

The beggar's chicken was simply irresistible; even if you waited a bit longer, you wouldn't be able to get your hands on it.

Zou Xiujie fell into a brief silence, surprisingly finding Li Jin's statement to be quite logical.

He suggested, "Brother Li Jin, I'll keep an eye on the rankings for you. Could you please go and order me a serving of beggar's chicken?"

With a smile, Li Jin agreed, "Deal."

Lately, Zou Xiujie had been on a weight loss journey and had been consuming numerous vegetarian meals with Chen Xiran. Now, he had reached the point where the scent of meat alone made his mouth water.

Hearing the rumble in Zou Xiujie's stomach, Li Jin playfully remarked, "Why don't you go ahead and place your order? I'll check the rankings."

Clearly more eager to know the rankings, Zou Xiujie stammered, "I-I'm not hungry... Gudong..."
