Chapter 20: The Fish Is Hooked

In order not to worry his mother, Lin Fusheng had to hand over all the money to the Yang family, and he only kept two pennies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

……

"Shixiu, Daddy said something unpleasant today." At dinner that night, Old Man Lin spoke rarely. It seems that his brain is clear, and his spirit is not bad. "You get sick every year when you arrive at the county exam, and I don't think you have anything to do with your career. Simply, don't read this book! Don't our Lin family still have compound sound and zhong'er, let them learn! ā€

"Dad, you're sick again, how can you curse your son so well? Don't you want people to eat at ease? Lin Shixiu was said to have no chance with his career, and he felt unlucky in his heart, so he put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and his face was long.

Xu Shi listened to Old Man Lin's words, and his face was also a little displeased, "Dad, if you want to say that Zhong'er has been learning words with his father recently." After the autumn harvest, you can go to Li Fuzi to study. Xu said very casually, as if Lin Dezhong was accepted by Li Fuzi as a student, and it was an ironclad thing, and there was no accident at all. Immediately, she glanced at Lin Fusheng again, and continued: "It's just that Fusheng is ......, and he can't speak yet, and it's useless to learn." As for Shi Xiu, he was sick in previous years, maybe it was not the right time. As the saying goes, good things are grinding! Maybe next year, if you pass three levels in a row, you will be able to take the test before coming back. ā€

Old Man Lin nodded and said to Lin Shixiu: "It's not impossible to take the exam. But now it's the busy autumn season! You can't let your big brother do the work in the field like in previous years! This year, you'll have to help too! Uh, yes, Zhong'er and Fusheng are going too! ā€

Old man Lin is getting old, but he wants to open it. Although it is a matter of glory to gain fame, it is more important to live and eat. He was afraid that the second eldest Lin Shixiu's family would go dark on the road of the imperial examination and follow in his footsteps. In the future, the hard will not starve to death.

So, while his mind was clear, he took out the head of the family and issued an order.

The old lady Wang also nodded in agreement. Although she hopes that the Lin family can become an official, so that she can have a long face and enjoy happiness, but, in comparison, money is a more realistic and touchable interest for her. "Yes, this year, I saw a good harvest in the field. You can help your big brother. ā€

"Huh? I have to go too? Lin Dezhong's eyes widened, first shouted, and then, he jumped up from the stool and clapped his hands happily, "Haha, great!" You don't have to follow your dad to study! Great, roar ......."

Seeing this aspiring son, Xu was so angry that he shouted with his big hand, and slapped Lin Dezhong on the back shoulder, and slapped him back on the stool in a daze. It hurt so much that Lin Dezhong screamed again.

Hearing Lin Dezhong's strange scream, Old Man Lin suddenly remembered something, nodded and said: "Well, I forgot about Master Li's acceptance of students, I also heard that if Zhong'er wants to learn to compose poetry, he doesn't have to work in the field first." But, Shixiu, you have to go, go and help your eldest brother with the autumn harvest. As he spoke, the old man hesitated and said, "Well, Zhong'er wants to learn, I can teach him to read some words......

Before the old man finished speaking, Lin Shixiu's mouth had already turned into eight petals, and he said with a disdainful look: "Dad, your ...... knowledge, forget it!" Don't worry about Zhong'er's affairs! The son has his own arrangements. ā€

Old Man Lin didn't care, just nodded slightly, "Okay then!" Your own affairs, you think about yourself. But the Lin family's affairs, you can't shirk! "When the old man is sober, his words are still full of weight.

Lin Shitong looked at Lin Shixiu's unhappy expression, and smiled: "Dad, mother, no need, the second brother not only has to study by himself now, but also has to teach middle school." I can do it alone. As he spoke, he patted Lin Fusheng on the shoulder and said, "No, no more, there is still Fusheng." He's not too young, it's time to learn how to take a hoe! ā€

"......" If Lin Fusheng had glasses on his face at this time, he must have been slumped to the side. Is there a dad like you? I don't want my son to take a pen, but I want my son to take a hoe!

You're not my real father.

Lin Fusheng peeked at Xu Shi next to Lin Shixiu and smiled secretly.

This fish, take the bait.

I saw Xu Shi secretly poke Lin Shixiu with his elbow, squeezed his eyebrows at him by the way, and then said with a smile: "Eh, how big is the compound sound, that hoe is taller than him, what can you do?" Well, Daddy was right. Scholars study all day long, and it is not good for the body. It's better to go to the field to work, maybe when the county exam is taken next year, he won't be sick. Xu's eyes wandered back and forth in his sockets, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'll go to ,......, Zhong'er this year!" He's seven years old! It doesn't hurt to learn to do farm work. ā€

After Xu Shi finished speaking, Lin Shixiu was full of reluctance, but he did not mean to object.

Lin Dezhong opened his mouth even more happily, shaking his head, and he didn't know what words to use to describe his current joy.

However, when he saw the reaction of the second uncle's family, except for Lin Fusheng, he still looked like he didn't care about anything, he looked leisurely, bowing his head and eating wildly. The others, Lin Shitong, Yang, and even the old man, the old lady were all surprised. I thought that if the second family wanted to do some farm work, it would have to take a lot of lips and tongues. But looking at it this way, it's their villain's heart. This family is full of promises!

Xu Shi pushed Lin Shixiu's arm and winked at him, "Yes, Shixiu, didn't you tell me last night that you were going to work in the fields this year, so you should stretch your muscles." ā€

Lin Shixiu stumbled for a while, laughed dryly and said, "Yes, heh, big brother, leave the busy business this autumn to us!" ā€

"Second brother, you are weak, you can't pick your shoulders, you can't lift your hands, where can you work in the field? Let's let the big brother ......"

Lin Shitong's kindness made Xu even more suspicious. Hum! I said that I worked every year, and I didn't complain, and I made trouble for a long time, and there was a treasure in the ground. No, this year, I have to look for it in the field.

Since seeing Lin Fusheng holding a hand full of money in his hand during the day, it seems that there are shiny silver ingots in it, and Xu Shi can no longer sit still. asked his son Lin Dezhong again, and after knowing that there was silver in the field. She discussed with Lin Shixiu again.

In Lin Shixiu's eyes, one copper coin a day is nothing, but with the appearance of so much silver at this time, even he, a person who has read poetry and books, began to believe that something that he had criticized as absurd had come.

"Big brother, you don't have to excuse yourself! We are a family, and we should share joys and sorrows. In previous years, the eldest brother worked alone, and it was really hard, but this year, let the second brother be with you. "This Lin Shixiu really didn't study in vain, and his words were so full and vivid. The words made Lin Shitong's iron-like man almost moved to tears, but naturally, he no longer pushed back the kindness of the second brother and accepted it happily.

Looking at the second uncle's family, smiling happily and happily, Lin Fusheng secretly rejoiced in his heart.

There's a lot to be said now.
