Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 400 Waiting for the provincial examination before leaving

  Because there are few people, there is no separate table for dinner.

  Chu Jin was originally taught by Chu Heng not to eat or sleep.

  Now that Mr. Lin is still there, he doesn't dare to be presumptuous, and is very quiet.

  Chu Ziluo also ate obediently.

  Chu Heng picked up the wine bowl and toasted Master Lin.

  Master Lin took a sip, only to realize that it was really not very spicy and the alcohol was not strong. It seemed that Ye Muyu was not lying, so he relaxed a lot. After all, he was really afraid of getting drunk.

   "Chu Xiucai, I'm bothering you today, did Chong Jin cause you any trouble?" Master Lin said politely.

  Chu Heng said: "It's just a child, so don't worry about it being troublesome, Master."

   "I heard that the master went to find other scholars in the afternoon and came to the village school to be the master. Did you find anyone?" Chu Heng asked.

  Master Lin nodded: "I found it. I'm looking for Wu Xiucai from the county, but he has to help Liu Xiucai take a substitute class. He won't be free to teach in the village school until Liu Xiucai has passed the provincial examination."

  "Wu Xiucai?" Chu Heng pondered: "Wu Xiucai is not young, and since he is a local, there will be no need to go to the Juren examination, which is considered appropriate. Master Lin is thoughtful."

  Master Lin has been looking for someone for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to negotiate in one afternoon.

   "That's right, this old man also thinks the same way. The children in the village are very smart, and if the children want to study, the parents are willing to send it to them. If there is no long-term wife to stay here, it will be inconvenient."

   "Although Wu Xiucai is older and his lectures are more rigid, he can help the children to be enlightened first and lay a solid foundation. When the children are older, it will be much easier to go to the county school."

   "It's also because of this. Although Wu Xiucai is helping Liu Xiucai to substitute for the class, it is only one class a day. Some are dispensable, but it is not easy to offend Liu Xiucai, so he can only come to the village to learn to teach after the rural examination."

   "Chu Xiucai don't worry, during this time, the old man will continue to teach in the school until Wu Xiucai comes." Mrs. Lin assured that he is not the kind of person who doesn't pay attention to responsibility, so naturally he won't leave immediately.

  Chu Heng felt relieved when he heard the words, he no longer needed to find a place for his son Chu Jin to study.

  He was going to take the provincial examination, and it would be inconvenient to send Chu Jin to the county school at the moment. Mr. Lin was very considerate.

   "Master Lin is very considerate, Chu Heng respects you." Chu Heng picked up the wine bowl and clinked glasses with Master Lin.

  The two of them then talked about Chu Jin's study.

  Chu Jin had a sense of being called a parent throughout the whole process, and was a little flustered.

  Seeing the frightened look of the child, Ye Muyu smiled, but didn't bother, after all, both of them were for Xiao Jin's good.

   Master Lin used too much for this meal without knowing it.

  Under Chu Heng's deliberate control of the wine, he didn't drink much.

   Lin Chongjin is the same, he is full.

  After dinner, the sky darkened, so we could barely see the road without lighting the lanterns.

  Master Lin stood up and said goodbye.

  Chu Heng called Lu Chuan to send the two of them off.

  Master Lin declined with a smile: "Chu Xiucai, no need, I've already bothered you today. This place is close to the school, just a few steps away. Don't bother to send it off deliberately. We will walk back in a few steps."

   "Master, be careful on the road."

  Lin Chongjin followed behind, Chu Ziluo caught up from behind, and put a small jar in his hand.

   "Sister Ziluo, this is?" Lin Chongjin looked at her suspiciously.

  Chu Ziluo smiled and said, "Did you forget? It's the honey grapefruit tea for lunch."
