I pampered my mother in the nurturing game

Chapter 158 Apprenticeship
Li Lan took her four children alone and stepped out of the alley, following the excitement and heading towards the bustling place.

Yu Feiwan strolled through this medium-sized city with great interest.

It's not as prosperous as it will be in the future, but it's also interesting.

Between everyone, it seems more simple and simple.

After shopping around, Li Lan gritted her teeth and bought a beautifully packaged pen as Lin Haihong's apprenticeship ceremony.

It's so expensive.

No wonder, in the past thousands of years, serious scholars were all dignified people who spent money.

Fortunately, the current policies are good, otherwise there are so many children in the family and they would not be able to send them to school.

As for the cloth, Li Lan didn't buy it in the end and bought ready-made clothes after the salesperson's persuasion.

It turns out that city people rarely buy cloth and tailor their clothes.

"Why do you feel like the money is no longer valuable once you get to the city?"

Li Lan couldn't help but sigh.

"No, we can't just sit back and have nothing. We have to find ways to make money as soon as possible. I still owe someone 2000 yuan."

Li Lan only felt that the pressure was overwhelming and made her a little breathless. She lost the mood to continue shopping and decided to go home hastily.

Lin Haihong held the pen box in his hand, his mood was complicated and strange.

It was obviously a cold metal touch, but he suddenly felt the burning heat from this coldness, which went straight to the bottom of his heart.

This was a pen of great value. He could see that when his aunt paid, she gritted her teeth again and again, and it felt like she was tearing out flesh. But in the end, she took out the money, counted each one, and handed it to her with both hands. to the store.

This, this is all for him.

Lin Haihong tightened his hands and looked at the not-so-tall figure in front of him who was still sighing, and suddenly felt that he was not afraid of anything.

Perhaps Lin Haihong's eyes were too obviously hot, and Li Lan suddenly felt uncomfortable. When she turned her head, she bumped into Lin Haihong's eyes that were as bright as the sun in the sky, and she felt even more uncomfortable. "Auntie, it's not that she can't bear to part with flowers..."

Well, Li Lan couldn't go on, she just couldn't bear it.

Li Lan paused and said it differently, "Although this pen is expensive, it's worth it as long as you can watch Teacher Lu learn real skills."

"This is what your brother-in-law always says, good steel should be used on the blade."

"I don't feel bad, I don't feel bad at all."

(;Д`)
If you don’t pretend anymore, you’ll be heartbroken.

For someone like her who has spent decades living a life of buttoned-up and buttoned-up, spending money is like cutting off flesh.

"Auntie, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

When I grow up, I will also be filial to you.

This is what Lin Haihong did not say.

Li Lan said that her heart ached even more.

Such a good child is not hers.

pain!
It really hurts!

Li Lan subconsciously speeded up his pace, letting his complicated emotions blow away in the wind.

Lin Haihong scratched his head blankly, and Yu Feiwan gave him a calm look.

Lin Haihong felt relieved immediately.

When the group returned home, it was almost noon, and the sun was shining brightly above their heads.

Not exactly warm, but still bright.

The old lady and Mrs. Fu were bending down to tidy up the abandoned wooden pavilion.

"came back?"

"Hai Hong, go wash your hands and put on new clothes. Your uncle and aunt will take you there to become a disciple."

The old lady straightened up, leaning on a cane, and immediately saw the pen box in Lin Haihong's hand.

Beside the pavilion, there was already a pile of pulled weeds and cleared moss.

Li Lan's eyes widened and she rubbed her hands nervously, "Mother-in-law, I won't go over, right?"

"How about you go with Shuishan?"

"I've never read a book, and I'm afraid Teacher Lu won't like what I say."

The old lady casually wiped the dirt on her hands with the rag hung on the railing, and walked down from the pavilion with a cane. "You go ahead." "Teacher Lu is not that kind of person. Just treat it as an exercise in advance. From now on, you can We still have to do small business with Shuishan and deal with all kinds of people."

"Don't be too nervous. You'll be able to do it as usual."

"Go."

The old lady's words did not leave any room for Li Lan to refuse again.

"Shui Shan is still plowing the ground in the garden behind the house. Go call him and ask him to tidy up too."

“The main thing is that it’s clean and tidy, that’s all.”

The old lady reached out and patted Li Lan's slightly hunched back and said, "Straighten up."

Li Lan sighed deeply and raised his head.

Go and go!
She can have the courage to run out of that man-eating mountain alone, but is she still afraid of living in the city and dealing with city people?

It can't be more terrifying than the wild wolves in the mountains and the folks who forced her to die, right?

Li Lanxiong strode forward with high spirits and said, "Shishan, stop turning over the ground."

After simply tidying up their clothes and combing their hair meticulously, Yu Shuishan and Li Lan took Lin Haihong to Old Man Shao's house.

As for the remaining little carrot heads, one by one, they posed and listened to the corner.

Old lady: No eyes to see, no eyes to see at all.

"If you rub it again, your clothes will be stained."

"You have nothing to do, come over and pull the grass and shovel the moss."

Yu Fei reluctantly pulled back his ears, took the shovel from the old lady's hand, squatted on the ground, and fought against the moss in the shady corner.

Yu Ping and Yu Fengjiao honestly bent over and pulled out dead grass.

Li Lan and the other two didn't go there for too long, and it took only a quarter of an hour to bring them over. Lin Haihong also had a piece of moist jade around his neck.

"Mother-in-law, Teacher Lu gave Haihong a piece of jade, and I really can't refuse it."

"I was wondering if the pen I bought was too cheap."

"Compared with this piece of jade, that pen is really not worthy of mention."

Li Lan felt quite regretful.

If she had known that Teacher Lu's return gift was so heavy, she should have gritted her teeth and chosen a better one.

However, if he bites again, his teeth will break.

The old lady said calmly, "The apprenticeship ceremony is a part of our hearts."

"Teacher Lu's return gift is also Teacher Lu's heartfelt wish and expectation."

"Beautiful jade is flawless, a gentleman is like jade, its brilliance is restrained, gentle and lustrous, and it is as polished as a cut. The elders gave jade to me. I hope Haihong can mark his ambition with this object, as flawless and humble as jade."

"Li Lan, your mind has been unstable these past two days."

The regret and annoyance in Li Lan's heart was replaced by doubt.

Can't understand.

Can't understand.

Yu Shuishan chuckled and patiently explained to Li Lan in a low voice.

"What my mother-in-law said was too literary."

Li Lan muttered quietly.

"Mother said this to Hai Hong, so it's not an exaggeration." Yu Shuishan answered with a smile.

Li Lan was stunned and felt like she was being compared to a child.

"From now on, before you go to bed every night, tell me a few more witty words and listen to them several times, so that I can also use them to bluff people."

Li Lan raised his eyebrows and said unconvinced.

Yu Shuishan continued to smile and nodded.

"Oh, maybe by then, the words I said will become a lullaby."

Li Lan frowned, "That was before."

"The current Li Lan is already a pursuing Li Lan."
