Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 12
  Mrs. Liu also realized that she was a little excited, glared at Li An, and said angrily: "Tell me, how is the matter?"

Li An chuckled, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and said, "Mom, here are ten taels of silver."

Mrs. Liu took it and opened it to see several pieces of broken silver inside. She said happily: "Goudan's father really gave you ten taels of silver?"

"You already have all the money in your hands, how can you still cheat? Mom, have you told your grandfather about my study?" Li An asked.

He didn't take out all the money, but hid twenty-two taels, thinking about doing some business.

"Grandpa You agreed." Mrs. Liu smiled.

"Really?"

Li An said in disbelief: "Mom, how did you convince your grandfather?"

"Your aunt made trouble. I told you that your father and I would pay for your studies ourselves, but your grandfather didn't even agree. I don't know what your grandmother said to him, but he actually agreed."

Mentioning this, Mr. Liu was a little incredulous.

"That's it..."

Li An was also a little curious about what his grandmother said to his grandfather before he agreed.

"I'm telling you, you have to read it carefully and give me some credit, otherwise be careful of your skin." Ms. Liu glared.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely give you a top score in the exam." Li An said with a smile.

He is somewhat confident about studying. Not to mention taking the first prize exam, he thinks it won't be a big problem to be named on the gold list.

There is not much difference between the characters of the Song Dynasty and the traditional Chinese characters of later generations. Only a few characters may have some differences.

Li An was admitted to college after all in his previous life. Although college students in later generations cannot be compared with Jinshi in ancient times, after all, only a few hundred people are admitted each time there are more imperial examinations.

But the proportion of scholars in ancient times was also very low.

"Don't talk too much here. Mom is not asking you to be admitted to the imperial examination and become an official. I just want you to study hard and stop digging in the fields for food." Ms. Liu said.

Li An could feel the motherly love in Liu's words, and suddenly his eyes turned red, thinking of his mother in his previous life.

His father's family has many brothers, so he is considered a kind son-in-law.

His father died of illness when he was very young, and his mother had been working outside in order to make money. He grew up with his grandparents.

After he started working, he thought he could make money and honor his mother. However, his mother collapsed due to overwork.

He died within a few years.

Before his mother passed away, she held his hand and blamed herself very much for not being able to leave him anything and dragging him down when she died.

Thinking of this, Li An burst into tears like spring water and threw himself into Mrs. Liu's arms, feeling painful.

"Aniu, what's wrong with you?" Liu asked anxiously.

"Mom, I will definitely let you live a good life." Li An choked with sobs.

"Okay, okay, Mom, I believe you. Stop crying. Are you tired from walking in the city today, or are you hungry?" Mrs. Liu said while patting his back.

Li An adjusted his mood, got up from Mrs. Liu's arms, wiped his tears, and said with some embarrassment: "No, Uncle Shi took me to eat in the city, it was delicious. I will take my mother there later." Taste it.”

"Then why are you crying? You scared me." Ms. Liu said angrily.

"Hehe." Li An smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm thinking about going to school because I can't bear to leave my mother. By the way, mother, when can I go to school?"

"Your grandfather means to wait for your father to come back in a few days, and then ask your father to take you there." Mrs. Liu said.

"Don't we have to wait for a long time?" Li An was a little disappointed when he heard this.

The dock sometimes has to unload goods in the middle of the night, so his father and uncle usually only come back once every ten days and a half.

"You brat, you just said you wanted to go to school and couldn't bear to leave me. Now you're so anxious that you can't wait for a few days?" Mrs. Liu cursed.

"Hey, mother, I don't want to study early and be successful, so I respect you." Li An said with a smile.

"I noticed that since you recovered from the cold last time, your mouth feels like it's been covered with honey." Mrs. Liu poked his forehead and rolled her eyes at him.    …

When his grandfather came back, he didn't say anything. He just told Li An to study hard.

Li An found an opportunity to secretly ask his grandmother and learned a secret from him.

There are more than 100 households in Lijia Village, and the conditions of Li An's family in the village can only be considered to be middle-to-lower.

But there are only three families in the village that send their children to school.

The reason why Li Mu insisted on sending Li Fu to study was not because of his outstanding vision, but because more than ten years ago, an old Taoist priest fainted near their village and was rescued by Li Mu.

When the old Taoist priest woke up, Li Mu left him at home for a few days.

The old Taoist priest stayed for seven or eight days. After recovering, he said goodbye and left.

When leaving, in order to thank Li Mu, he gave him a fortune telling that one of his grandchildren would definitely become an official.

Li Mu woke up to what the old Taoist said. Li Fu happened to be born that year, and he felt that this eldest grandson was the grandson that the old Taoist said could be an official.

So when Li Fu was six years old, he insisted on sending him to study.

Ding didn't say anything else, she just told the old man that the person the Taoist priest was talking about was not necessarily Li Fu. There were many grandchildren studying, and there were many hopes. Anyway, the money for studying was paid for by the second family.

Only then did the old man agree.

Li An curled his lips when he heard this. Isn't this nonsense?

Even though he traveled through time, he still didn't believe it.

If the old Taoist priest had this ability, could he faint from hunger outside their village?

However, this incident also changed his impression of his grandfather a lot.

Before, he only thought that his grandfather was simply partial, but now it seems that he has gone too far.

But no matter what, it is a good thing for him that the old man can agree to let him study.

……

Because his father hasn't come back yet, Li An can't study for the time being. After dinner every morning, he sneaks to Shi's house to practice martial arts with his master.

Perhaps because he was about to study, only the eldest aunt said a few words, and the old man said nothing.

Martial arts training is very different from what Li An imagined. Every day in the stone forest, either two people squat in lunges, horse stances, false steps, squat steps, rest steps, or two people lift stones to exercise their arm strength.

But the soup that strengthens the muscles and bones is very magical.

Not long after drinking it, I felt hot all over my body, and I seemed to have endless energy during exercise.

When the effects of the medicine wore off, I no longer felt sore all over my body, but felt very energetic.

In just a few days, Li An felt that his strength had increased a lot.

Li An originally thought that his father would be back in ten days and a half this time, but as a result, he had to wait until early May.

On this day, Li An was squatting with Shi Zhu in the yard of Shi's house when his brother Li Ping ran over.

"A Niu, dad is back." Li Ping said.

Li An was overjoyed when he heard this. He was about to get up when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Shi Lin.

Shi Lin nodded and said, "Go."

"Master, I'm going then." Li An straightened up, bowed his hands, and ran home with his brother.
