"If only there was a well at home, you don't have to fetch water every once in a while." Lin Mei nagged at Daddy Lin.

Father Lin thought for a while before saying: "When your mother was alive, I also talked about this matter, I often went up the mountain to hunt, once in the mountains encountered heavy rain and landslides blocked the road and could not come back, so I had to take a detour, the result was a delay of three days, your mother was two months pregnant at that time, you were not yet two years old, your mother carried you, and went to carry water, came back in the middle of the night and miscarried, if I didn't come back in time to ......, there would be no mountains and peaches." ”

There is also this matter, Lin Mei sighed, the original owner didn't know about it, Lin Mei also felt sorry for this, and persuaded: "Daddy, don't be sad, I think my unborn brother has already devoted himself to enjoying the happiness of a good family." ”

Maybe it was to mention the old things, Daddy Lin recalled the sad past, and maybe it was spring sleepiness, Daddy Lin didn't want to stay in the hall, so he asked Lin Mei to help him go back to the house to take a nap.

Lin Mei took Shanzi with the money, carried a box of Babaozhai's Ruyi auspiciousness and a jar of wine, and went to the private school, the so-called private school, in fact, is located in the master's house, the master's surname is Zhao, the name is Dezhu, about thirty years old, with a mustache, and he is more serious.

Seeing that the two sisters and brothers of the Lin family explained their intentions, they did not express their dislike, but they did not express their dissatisfaction. With a stiff face, he said: "I have five hundred texts a year, and I dropped out of school halfway, and the fee is not refunded, and the private school only provides "Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic", and other textbooks and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone need to be purchased by yourself." ”

Anyway, he had already decided to study, and there was nothing to ask, Lin Mei directly handed over 500 Wen, and the behavior of paying the money directly without asking anything, the master suddenly had a good impression of Lin Mei, and couldn't help but look at it twice when he received the money. Seeing that his eyes were clear and he looked very trusting, the master's attitude eased a little, and said: "You can go to school tomorrow, start teaching every hour, go home to eat during the lunch break, practice calligraphy when you are ugly, and leave school when you are young." ”

Lin Mei said that everything would be arranged by the master, and she would send Shanzi to school tomorrow, and she would have to trouble the master and so on in the future, so she took Shanzi home to prepare.

Daddy Lin heard that the master had already received Shanzi, he was a little surprised, he only worked Shanzidao, and there was nothing more, maybe his mood had not been adjusted, his interest was not high, and he was a little listless, so Daddy Lin went back to the house to sleep after dinner.

Lin Mei cleaned up the kitchen and went back to the house to make clothes.

The next day, Shanzi got up to practice boxing as usual, Lin Mei stayed up until midnight yesterday and the clothes were ready, and she was sleepy in the morning, but she thought that she was practicing archery to strengthen her body, so she gritted her teeth and got up and left the warm bed.

Lin Mei got up and went to the kitchen first, according to Peaches' request, she prepared pancakes with eggs and noodles, and last time she made pancakes, she was afraid that Peaches would be too small to eat, so she didn't dare to give her food. But promised to do it for her today. Lin Mei also made winter melon soup from the only remaining winter melon.

Half an hour later, breakfast was ready, the sky gradually brightened, Lin Mei and Shanzi began to practice archery, maybe after practicing for two days, they got better and better, and Lin Mei shot more and more times.

"Shanzi, let's do it today, go and change into new clothes, have breakfast, you have to rush to the master's house before the hour." Lin Mei said to Shanzi.

"Got it, sister, don't stay up late making clothes in the future, you see that you are all green under your nose." Shanzi is very distressed by this sister who has taken care of him like a mother since he was a child.

"It's okay, don't worry once in a while, my sister's body sister knows it herself, go and eat, otherwise I'll be late." Lin Mei urged.

After sending Shanzi away, Lin Mei woke up Peaches, brought breakfast to Daddy Lin's room, and asked Peach to accompany Daddy Lin to have breakfast together.

Although Daddy Lin let Lin Mei be in charge, Lin Mei is still used to discussing with Daddy Lin in terms of money.

"Dad, in addition to buying Shanzi's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, there are soybeans, gypsum, and pheasants and rabbits hanging on the stove at home, I don't plan to buy meat, you see what else you need to buy at home." Lin Mei asked.

"I can't see that it's Qingming in January, you can buy some fragrant wax paper money and prepare it." Father Lin spoke.

"Alas, then I'll bring three taels of silver, the last time I sold roe deer, it was just three taels of silver, so I'll take this." Lin Mei knew that she mentioned the deceased mother yesterday, and Father Lin missed her mother in her heart. But I didn't say much, but I still sighed in my heart that cheap dad is really infatuated.

After the meal, Lin Mei cleaned up and went to the town with her purse.

Not long after Lin Mei left, there was a knock at the door of the Lin family.

Peach helped Daddy Lin to sit in the hall, and then ran to open the door.

"Yo, Momoko, is your dad at home?" Huang Matchmaker said.

When Momoko opened the door and saw that it was a stranger, she asked, "Who are you, and what is the matter with my father?" ”

"I'm your Aunt Huang, it's a good thing to find your father. Hurry up and let me see your father. Huang Matchmaker pushed open the door as she spoke, and walked inside.

Seeing that she didn't stop Huang Matchmaker, Peaches ran into the hall, crashed into Daddy Lin's arms, and said to Daddy Lin, "Daddy, I'm afraid of ......"

When Mrs. Huang entered the house, she saw Lin Xiao sitting on a chair, and she seemed to be very good. Then he said, "Brother Lin, I'm very happy." ”

"Sister Huang, where does this joy come from?" Father Lin wondered, could anyone have taken a fancy to Lin Mei.

"No, your eldest brother told me two days ago that there is no woman in your family to take care of the housework, so I asked me to find a suitable one for you to take care of your body. Mrs. Huang clapped her hands.

"My eldest brother hasn't told me about this, and I have no plans to marry again, this is a misunderstanding, you better go back." Daddy Lin hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"Don't, you listen to me first, there is a woman in this family who is like a family, and the children also need a mother to take care of them, isn't it warmer to have one more person on the kang in winter, and I can talk to you at night." After Mrs. Huang finished speaking, seeing that Daddy Lin didn't speak, she thought that she was talking about Daddy Lin's heart, so she struck while the iron was hot and continued: "This woman lives in Zhangjia Village next to her, because the brothers have long been separated, and after his man died of illness a few years ago, he lived alone with his two sons. The eldest son is only nine years old, and the youngest is six years old, this woman, there is nothing to say about her appearance, I think she was a flower in their village back then, and she was diligent. Her mother's family asked me to find a door that is quite compatible, and I will sum it up, you two are a widow and a widower, and you are really a good match. ”

"Sister Huang, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, since Meizi and her mother were born, I really haven't considered finding another person. Today I don't think you've been here, what I'm most worried about now is Meizi's marriage, and I have to get rid of your help in this matter and find an honest and reliable family for Meizi. Don't ask for great wealth and wealth, just want to have plums in your heart, and be good to plums. I'm content, and if I go down one day, I'll have the face to see Meizi and his mother. After Daddy Lin finished speaking, he still sat and saluted Mrs. Huang.

"Don't worry, Brother Lin, Meizi also grew up watching her since I was a child, I have also heard about her, then the Liu family is really not a thing, don't worry, I will definitely find a better family for Meizi than his Liu family." Mrs. Huang was very ashamed of the Liu family's repentance of marriage, and in line with the profession of matchmaker, she still opened her mouth to persuade: "The household I just mentioned, you think about it again, the girl's surname is Zhou, and the husband's surname is Zhang, you can inquire and make a decision." ”

Seeing that Daddy Lin didn't refuse this time, she thought that there was a drama in this matter, so she diverted the topic and praised Peaches for her well-behaved and beautiful appearance, and she would definitely be a big beauty when she grew up in the future.
