Seeing that Gu Lin agreed, An Bao's eyebrows and eyes were instantly full of smiles, and he jumped forward, hugging Gu Lin's face and kissing and gnawing.

"I knew Daddy was the best!"

"Then the mother will also pay Anbao in the future, Anbao will save the money and then buy some things she likes."

Tang Nian said with a smile while collecting those bamboo pieces.

Then An Bao naturally became more and more happy, and nodded again and again.

But the most important thing now is to teach them more words.

Tang Nian estimated the time, and there was still some distance before dinner in the evening, so she took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to teach Ah Hao and An Bao to read.

In any case, learning a little more is always good for them.

There was a sound of reading in the courtyard, and Mrs. Gu gently lifted the curtain and looked up, her thoughts went back to many years ago.

At that time, when Gu Lin was still a child, he also studied so hard.

But everything can't go back, and now Gu Lin has become a dignified man.

At night, Tang Nian left Ah Hao for dinner, and then made a delicious meal for them.

Since I ate more sumptuous food at noon today, Tang Nian made more fresh and delicious dishes in the evening.

By the time everyone had finished eating, it was already late at night.

Ah Hao is a child after all, let him go home alone, no matter how Tang Nian is a little worried.

So when she had just finished the dishes and chopsticks, she got up and said, "I'll take you home." ”

She hooked her lips slightly, and as soon as the words fell, the eyes of the man on the side instantly locked on her.

raised his eyebrows, then walked quickly to Ah Hao's side, and said unhurriedly: "I'll send him home." ”

Tang Nian was slightly stunned, but seeing that Gu Lin looked so serious and couldn't refuse, he nodded and agreed.

Originally, this village was remote, and now it is getting late, so that a helpless woman and a child can walk down the street and anyone will be worried.

But no matter what, Gu Lin would not say the word worry.

Ah Hao seemed to feel the delicate atmosphere between the two, and he stared at An Bao in a bit of a panic, but An Bao was just eating his dessert on the side, completely ignoring it.

"That...... Master...... Master, I can go home by myself, I'm already a man, I'm not afraid of anything. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Lin glanced at him, and Ah Hao had no choice but to close his mouth and said embarrassedly: "That...... Then trouble the master. ”

Tang Nian had been sending them to the gate of the courtyard, and when he was about to continue sending them, Gu Lin suddenly turned his head and met her gaze.

"Go back." The tone of his voice was always cold and indifferent, and the words seemed to be mixed with irresistible majesty.

Tang Nian had no choice but to say: "Then you have to be careful on the road." ”

Gu Lin kept watching her turn around and walk back, and then finally picked up the oil lamp and walked out with Ah Hao.

The moonlight poured down on the two of them like water, and the night seemed extraordinarily peaceful.

They can even hear the sound of themselves walking over the leaves.

Gu Lin has always been a person who is not good at words, and Ah Hao was also very nervous because he was alone with his master, so he didn't speak.

People walked quietly on the road like this, no one spoke, and there seemed to be embarrassment between them.

Speaking of which, since the Gu family is the most remote location in the village, their house is also some distance away from Ah Hao's house.

Gu Lin struggled in his heart for a moment, until a leaf slowly fell under his feet with the wind, and he suddenly stopped walking.

"Hao." The deep voice sounded in Ah Hao's ears, Ah Hao was slightly stunned, and then his cheeks turned red, and he immediately straightened his back.

To be honest, it was the first time that Gu Lin suddenly stopped him like this.

"Division...... Master. Ah Hao said with some hesitation, only daring to look at Gu Lin with his spare eyes, not daring to look directly at him.

Gu Lin hesitated for a moment, his long narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know if he should say it.

A breeze blew gently, blowing up Gu Lin's sleeves.

"Hao."

He called out again.

Ah Hao was a little overwhelmed by him, and his heart was pounding inexplicably.

He kept clutching his sleeves tightly with his little hands, and kept pricking up his ears, listening carefully to what Gu Lin was saying.

But after a long, long time, Gu Lin never said it.

That's it.

"It's okay, let's go." Gu Lin said softly, and finally took another step.

He walked forward, Ah Hao was stunned, and after reacting, he quickly followed him forward.

Once again, there was an awkward awkward situation between the two.

There was no one to illuminate them on this section of the road, only the oil lamp in Gu Lin's hand and the faint moonlight.

I don't know how long it took, but they finally arrived at Ah Hao's doorstep.

Although Ahao's family is not rich, it is better than many poor families.

Because his father could hunt, although his skills were not very good, but he was enough to feed them.

Ah Hao's mother will thread needles and threads to sew clothes and the like, and it is natural that doing this can sometimes have a little pay to support their family.

So the house they live in is also a small courtyard house-like thing.

Usually herding sheep, these are all done by Ah Hao.

When they finally came to the door, Ah Hao turned his head, smiled at Gu Lin and said, "Thank you, master!" Then we'll see you tomorrow morning! ”

Just as he turned around and wanted to leave, Gu Lin stopped him leisurely again.

"Hao."

His voice was as beautiful as a spring flowing through a mountain stone.

Seeing that he was calling himself like this, Ah Hao immediately turned around and faced him and asked, "What's the matter, master?" ”

His instincts told him that the master must have something to say to him.

Gu Lin shifted his gaze elsewhere, took a deep breath, and said in that unhurried tone: "You have to take care of her more these days, and if you have anything to help on weekdays, help her more." ”

After a pause, he continued: "After all, she is just a woman, you are already a boy, you must learn to take responsibility." ”

"If someone bullies her on the road, you have to protect her well, if you can't beat her, remember the person's appearance and characteristics, go home and tell me, do you know?"

Ah Hao didn't need to ask his master to know who the "she" in Gu Lin's mouth was.

He nodded violently and swore an oath: "Ah Hao promises to protect Shi Niang well and not let Shi Niang be bullied by others!" Master believe me! ”
