Yan family strong girl

Chapter 128 Lin Laixi's Worries
Lin Laishun saw his younger brother's ears were red, and held back a smile: "Third son, since the girl said so, let mother and your sister-in-law take time to visit their house and ask her adults for their opinions. Mother, I'm a rough guy who doesn't understand these things, and you can arrange these things."

Li's interface made more detailed arrangements: "Daughter-in-law, let's put down the family affairs these few days and do these two top priorities first. Girl Qing, help us think about it for you. Choose a good wife."

Lin Laibao and Lin Laicai's marriage is on the agenda, and the Lin family will be busy from tomorrow, but no matter how busy they are, everyone in the Lin family has a happy smile on their faces.

Lin Laishun looked at his family's expressions and showed the same happy smile. He raised his chin towards Yan Xiaowan, signaling her to put the paper and pens he bought on the table.Li Shi and others all showed joyful expressions, seeing Lin Laishun's mood getting better and better.

He cheerfully pushed the paper and pen into Lin Laixi's arms, smiled at him and said, "Youngest, you will be able to go to school to study and practice calligraphy in a few days. This is the third happy event for our family. Little Wan specially bought the paper and pen for you, saying it was for you as a gift."

Lin Laixi caressed the clean and flawless paper, desperately holding back tears not to let them fall, for fear that the tears would wet them and they would not be usable in the future.The joy in his heart was beyond words, and there were tears in his eyes, but more of it was unspeakable excitement.

"Xiao, Xiaowan, thank you."

Seeing him so excited and happy, Yan Xiaowan's long-lost tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and she raised her arm to wipe away the tears as if inadvertently.

"Uncle, one family does not speak two different languages. This is my heart. Please study hard in the future, and come back and teach me what you have learned in school."

"And me!" Lin Xiaofeng said suddenly, causing everyone present to look at her.Her face was burning hot from the astonished eyes of her family members, but she had just met the county magistrate's daughter Guan Lan today, and her courage was much stronger than before.

Lin Xiaofeng said with firm eyes: "Uncle, please teach me too, I want to read with sister Xiaowan." She met Guan Lan today and saw the books in her room with her own eyes. She can become as literate as Guan Lan, but she doesn't want to be an illiterate village girl.

"Okay, I will teach you as soon as I come back from school!" Lin Laixi looked at the faces of the two little girls at home, and suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was extremely heavy.

At first, Lin Laixi wanted to study in school because of his admiration for scholars.

A few days ago, when he knew that he had the opportunity to study in a school, his goal became to honor his ancestors and his family.

Now, Lin Laixi has added another goal: he must study hard so that he can teach his family when he comes back.

Yan Xiaowan quietly observed the changes in the expressions of everyone present, and was surprised to find that everyone had a desire to read and write in their eyes. She rolled her eyes and made a suggestion: "Otherwise, uncle, when you come back from school, as long as you have free time How about learning all together? Uncle, don’t worry, this will not delay your study, and you can review the knowledge you have learned while teaching us, killing two birds with one stone.”

Lin Laixi nodded again and again, and praised Yan Xiaowan happily: "Xiaowan, what's your brain like? How did you come up with such a good idea?"

Yan Xiaowan's eyes fell on Lin Laifu, seeing that his eyes were clear and without a hint of displeasure, and he didn't seem to be jealous of Yaodi going to school to study and practice calligraphy.But when he heard Yan Xiaowan's suggestion, his eyes were the brightest, which showed that he was actually eager to read and practice calligraphy.

In fact, Yan Xiaowan thought about letting Lin Laifu and Lin Laixi study together, but after visiting the study today, she found that the prices of pens, inks, papers and inkstones were ridiculously high.And the four books and five classics that every scholar must buy, if you buy a set, you can't do it without five taels of silver.

It is too difficult for the peasant family to provide for a scholar, at least the current Lin family cannot afford two scholars at all.Yan Xiaowan had no choice but to give up this idea, but she also wanted to let Lin Laifu also get the opportunity to receive education, so she came up with this idea in a flash of inspiration.

Lin Laixi's job is simply to teach family members how to read and write.Ordinary people only need to read, write, and understand simple books and contracts.

After the family meeting was over, Yan Xiaowan was dragged into a corner by Lin Laixi, and he asked cautiously, "Xiaowan, these papers and pens cost you a lot, right? Tell my uncle how much you spent."

Yan Xiaowan thought he was going to ask something else, but who would have thought that he would be thinking about this?

She laughed angrily, raised her hand and thumped his chest: "Uncle, this is a gift from me. You came here to ask how much I spent, aren't you mad at me?"

Lin Laixi's tone was very frustrated, he felt very useless: "Xiao Wan, I am your brother-in-law, your elder, so I should be the one to buy things for you. But my brother-in-law is useless, he has no ability to make money, obviously He is your elder, but he still has the cheek to accept the pen and paper you bought."

"Uncle, if you continue to say such frustrating words, I will really be angry!" Yan Xiaowan really couldn't see him being so self-deprecating, so she beat him a few times, and then she suppressed the anger in her heart and patted him on the shoulder Consolation: "Little brother, you don't have to worry about money now. The first few years of study are not expensive, and our family can still afford it. The most important thing you should do is study hard and lay a solid foundation."

In order to build up Lin Laixi's confidence, she shared what she had seen and heard in the study: "Uncle, today I saw those scholars in the study lying on their desks and copying for hours in order to make money. The Chinese characters are well written, the writing is clean and tidy, and a book can earn two hundred coins! You can see that you can make money just in the study, and it’s not a small amount of money. As long as you are willing to use your brain and put in the effort, you can No matter how hard you suffer, you can make money!"

Lin Laixi drooped his head, still feeling very depressed, and said weakly: "I can't read a word now, and I don't dare to think about copying books to make money."

Yan Xiaowan saw that he was still unable to cheer up, like a wilted Chinese cabbage, and couldn't help but think: Her uncle, this mentality is obviously wrong!Was it stimulated by the pen and paper she sent?

Her little hands clasped Lin Laixi's shoulders hard enough to make him frown in pain. She stared into Lin Laixi's eyes and said very seriously: "Uncle, our family's conditions are here. It is only possible for you to study with all the strength of the family. How rare and precious is this opportunity to study, don’t I need to say more? But uncle, your idea just now is wrong. You haven’t been to school for a day, don’t you think Isn’t handwriting normal? As long as you study hard and write good handwriting after entering school, you will be able to copy books and earn money.”
