Fortunately, Chen Xi Ran didn’t care about high and low. 

He introduced himself, and after a few more words, he casually sat in the bullock cart and happily chatted with Li Zhuzi.

For example, talking about this year’s harvest, or how many times this ox cart could run a day.

All topics were related to Li Zhuzi’s work.

Seeing this, Li Jin admired Chen Xi Ran a little more, and he asked himself if he was born in a little better family after he came here, would he take such steps… probably not.

Coming here with the memory of modern times and self-control with good academic aptitude was Li Jin’s biggest golden finger.

The kiln was not far from the town. When the three of them arrived, the man was taking a nap.

Li Jin asked about the type and price of the tiles.

Seeing that there was a business, the guy raised his spirits and enthusiastically said, “Speaking of tiles, here we have clay tiles, burnt tiles. Clay tiles are not as strong as burnt tiles, but they are cheap.”

Li Jin weighed the money in his pocket and finally chose the expensive one.

Anyway, he only needed to buy a basket, and the price wasn’t very expensive.

Li Jin ordered two more carts of tile that he would come to pick up next month.

When he went back, Li Jin put the back basket on the bullock cart, and carefully supported it. 

After all, the basket was all money.

Chen Xi Ran asked, “Brother Li plans to build a house?”

Li Jin didn’t shy away and replied, “There are only two rooms in my house, one for rest and one for the kitchen.”

“I studied in the bedroom for a few days, but it’s not good for the long run, so I planned to build a study room.”

Hearing this, Li Zhuzi didn’t say a word, he was surprised that Li Jin actually spoke so frankly about the situation in his family.

Especially to his classmate who looked like a rich man.

Just now, that servant girl looked so powerful. He and the villagers had to bend down to talk when they saw her. 

And such a person called out Li Jin as ‘Master Li’.

Li Zhuzi thought that if it was placed on him, he would definitely brag and praise his family’s condition.

Anyway, the town and the village were so far apart, the young master would not come to the village to check such things.

After all, as Li Jin spoke so truthfully, what if he was disgusted by the young master?

Unexpectedly, Chen Xi Ran didn’t dislike it at all. Instead, he happily said, “Brother Li Xian is going to build a study room?”

“I don’t have a study room yet, because I hate studying in a designated place. My condition for moving here was not to have a study room!”

From the kiln to the village, they have to pass through the town. 

Li Zhuzi sent Chen Xi Ran to the town, and Chen Xi Ran was still on the side of the road saying goodbye to Li Jin.

“Brother Li, don’t forget to call me after the study room is built!”

Hearing this, Li Jin smiled and said, “You are indispensable.”

Chen Xi Ran added, “I still want to see your child!”

Li Jin’s first reaction was there are two children in the family, which one do you want to see?

Li Zhuzi knew that these tiles were expensive, so he especially drove the bullock cart slowly and smoothly.

But even so, Li Jin had to hold the back basket at all times to ensure that the tiles would not hit each other in the back basket.

Li Zhuzi slowly threw the whip on the cow’s back and said, “Li Jin, you have such a good relationship with the young master?”

Hearing that, Li Jin smiled and politely said, “We are all students of Master Song, so we are classmates.”

Li Zhuzi sighed, “That’s good. Before, your mother often came to my house and asked me to watch you more when you go to town, to not let you learn bad things from others.”

“I think this eldest master is very good. He didn’t dislike us at all. It is very good for you to make friends with him. “

Li Zhuzi was seven or eight years older than Li Jin. 

In ancient times, a man would get married by fifteen, and a seven or eight years older difference was counted as big. So, Li Zhuzi could really talk to Li Jin in this tone.
