"In fact, it's a bit cold to take a shower in the yard at night."

Li Qiao shuddered as she recalled what happened when she took a bath at night in recent days.

Before, he and Tao Zhu would bathe in the yard, but the temperature had dropped recently, and if there happened to be a breeze while they were bathing, they would shiver all over and get goose bumps.

"Go buy a bathtub tomorrow. You have to study every day and can't catch a cold." Tao Zhu said quickly when she saw him shivering.

"Don't you feel cold?" Li Qiao was a little surprised.

"I'm used to it. I don't feel cold anymore." Tao Zhu shook his head. This was just the beginning.

"...Okay. But if we use a bathtub, we have to boil water, pour water, and clean the bathtub. It's too troublesome. I think we should hire a long-term worker."

"ah?"

Tao Zhu was stunned and even stopped what he was doing. Hire a worker to clean the bathtub?

What a joke!

But before he could speak, Li Qiao said, "Besides, once we move to the new house, someone must guard the old house, otherwise I'm afraid our ox cart will be stolen."

"Even this iron pipe, I'm afraid it will be stolen. It's worth seven or eight taels of silver."

Tao Zhu: “…”

His expression turned serious, and what he said was true.

"Then let's start looking for the right person from tomorrow."

"But this requires money. Don't you want to raise some livestock? We don't raise many, but even if we raise some, the piglets and chickens will cost money."

“It won’t cost much.”

Tao Zhu said this, but as soon as he said this, he raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say that if I really find a way for sweet potatoes, not only will the villagers benefit, but we can also make a lot of money, just like corn."

"So I hope you won't be angry anymore. I'm not just thinking about this for the folks, I'm also thinking about it for ourselves."

"I know you feel bad for me, but I don't want you to waste your emotions on this anymore. Seeing you angry makes me anxious, and I want you to be happy every day."

Li Qiao straightened his expression and said seriously.

Tao Zhu: “…”

He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable: "And you have to go to the trouble of coaxing me. I am no different from Uncle Dashan. I am just causing you trouble."

"……No!"

Li Qiao quickly shook his head. He dropped the shovel in his hand, walked over to Tao Zhu, and hugged him: "Do we still need to say this? It's too distant!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch the soft flesh on Tao Zhu's cheek and pull it out, a little helpless: "I found that since I started studying, you have treated me like a glass man, and you are always cautious with me."

For example, as long as he was reading, Tao Zhu would not go near the main room, nor would he let anyone else go near the main room. Unless he came out on his own initiative, Tao Zhu would never disturb him.

As for daily chores, he doesn't have to do any housework now except making meat floss.

In the past, he did everything, such as washing clothes, sweeping the floor, wiping the table, watering the vegetables, etc. They were all small chores that came easily to him.
