After thinking about it for a night, Ling Li gradually figured it out, felt that she was too cautious, and remembered that the atmosphere at the banquet that day was so embarrassing, and she was a little reluctant, so she went to Li Yao's courtyard.

After not seeing her for a few days, Li Yao lost a lot of weight, and she was a little happy to see Ling Li.

"Fifth sister, you are finally willing to go out in the past two days."

Ling Li was embarrassed to reply: "Stay in the house and panic!" ”

The two laughed for a while, and Ling Li said, "The day before yesterday, Mrs. Wu came again to say goodbye." ”

"I know, but don't worry, depending on what the eldest aunt means, she won't agree to this family business!

"I also know, it's just that this family doesn't work, and if it doesn't work, the next family will come out, and after all, you have to get married, and you can't stay at home all the time."

Her words were not only a sigh for her own fate, but also deliberately said to Li Yao, it happened that she was bored at home these days, and remembered that Lin Zichuan's brother Lin Zichen was injured in order to protect himself that day, and he never had the opportunity to see him, and today I just found an opportunity to say thank you in person.

He proposed, "Why don't we go out for a walk today?" ”

"Where?"

"To Uncle Lin's house?"

Ling Li was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was not good to go to someone's house rashly, besides, she was a girl, but Li Yao quickly dispelled her concerns and said: "Do you remember that Zichen was injured that time, how much he was injured was because of me, I haven't seen him and feel a little rude, why don't you just accompany me today!" ”

Lingli immediately smiled and agreed.

The Li family and the Lin family were not far away, they called a rickshaw and went to the Lin family, the Lin family's master was her father's teacher, and it stands to reason that Li Yao should often go to see him.

Mr. Lin lost his wife at an early age, and he brought up Lin Zichen and Lin Zichuan alone, one became a policeman, and the other was disabled since childhood, and founded the Moral Education School after returning to China.

On that day, Lin Zichuan happened to be at home, so Ling Li naturally couldn't sit still and went to find him.

Lin Zichen was injured that day, raised at home for a few days, and because he was scolded as a cripple, he was very depressed, in fact, there was nothing wrong with his legs, but it was just a little inconvenient compared to ordinary people, but his legs have always been his heart disease, and it will not get better over time, especially in winter, it is a little difficult to even walk.

Li Yao came to see him today, he didn't want to see him, but the girls arrived at the door, so he had to come out to meet him.

Lin Zichen was wearing a white slim shirt, clean and elegant, probably rarely going out, so his skin was fair, but under his long eyelashes, a pair of good-looking eyes showed a haggardness, and when he saw Li Yao, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

They have similar interests, love to read, love to draw, occasionally write articles, chatting and chatting, Lin Zichen's mood is also a lot better.

"Last time, thank you for coming forward, you were still injured and have not been able to come to see you until now."

Lin Zichen smiled: "It's not a big deal, you don't have to take it to heart, besides, that time was thanks to my brother." ”

As soon as he talked about Lin Zichuan, he had more words: "You may not believe it, my younger brother was a crying slug when he was a child." ”

Li Yao listened to Lin Zichen talk about their childhood with interest, sometimes laughing, sometimes envious.

Suddenly, he talked about why he had lost a leg.

"Our brothers are two years apart, I remember when I was 8 years old, we were catching crickets in the field outside, and we ran into crutches, I saw from a distance that the crutches were going to rob my brother, so I ran over quickly, one of them said that they wanted to snatch me away, and the other said that the target was too big, and they thought I was too clever and not easy to crutche, and I had little strength at that time, and I couldn't rob them at all, and my brother was crying and dying in their hands. I remember they were driving a carriage, and I didn't think about it and ran to stop it, but the carriage was so fast that it couldn't stop. ”

Lin Zichen smiled bitterly and patted his sick leg: "The carriage overturned, the people ran away, I was pressed under the wheels and couldn't move, the steel bars on the wheels pierced my legs, and the legs were out of instinct at that time, until someone passed by and saw this scene, and our brother was rescued." ”

Only then did Li Yao understand why his leg was lame, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Later, Zichuan suddenly grew up, probably because that incident touched him a lot, he changed from a crybaby to the now calm and resolute Lin Zichuan, he can become a policeman, thanks to my credit!"

Lin Zichen suddenly smiled easily.

It's rare for him to be so optimistic, Li Yao admires this pair of brothers in her heart, and she also smiles: "Lin Zichuan must be very happy to have a brother like you." ”

"It's just that over the years, he always feels that he owes me something, and he has been trying to find a way to cure my leg disease."

Did you find a solution? Li Yao couldn't help but ask.

"Over the years, I have even tried a lot of methods abroad, and the results are some, but they are not ideal, after so many years, I have long accepted this leg."

He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you dislike me for being disabled?" ”

Li Yao didn't think about it, and replied: "Of course not, you are such a knowledgeable and thinking person, what is a physical disability, I don't know how much better than those who are inactive and brainless, and it is really terrible to have a brain disability!" However, I don't think Western medicine is necessarily good, so I might as well try acupuncture and something like that. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Yao also knew about acupuncture, Lin Zichen couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her say such a paragraph with a sincere face, he suddenly felt that she was not quite the same as what she saw on weekdays, on weekdays, she was always very quiet, she didn't like to talk, and tried to hide in places where others couldn't see.

Today's Li Yao shows a little bit of liveliness, she should actually be a lively, kind and warm-hearted girl, it is difficult for her to stay alone in this unfamiliar place at her young age, and live her life carefully.

"I heard that you actually founded the Moral Education School?" Li Yao asked suddenly.

Lin Zichen nodded.

"You're amazing." Li Yao couldn't help but admire him a little.

Lin Zichen thought that Li Yao had gone to a girls' school, and she was very knowledgeable, so he said: "There is a female teacher in the moral education school, I heard that you have gone to a girls' school, I don't know if you want to teach." ”

Li Yao was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, the moral education school is a new type of elementary school, and the courses taught are also very rich, such as Chinese language, arithmetic, history and geography, etc., female students also take sewing classes, but with her qualifications, can she really go?

She looked at Lin Zichen in disbelief: "Can I?" ”

After staying in the Li family for so long, she became more and more confused, not knowing what she should do in the future, whether she wanted to obey her parents' arrangements like Linglong Lingli, or like a duckweed, let herself drift, if she could really go to school to teach, it would be a good thing.

Lin Zichen replied: "Of course you can, Taotao let you teach so well, this is the best proof, and my father also approves of you, I mentioned it to him once before, he said that you can give it a try, of course, it depends on you whether you go or not." ”

Li Yao was a little excited, and her heart was extremely excited, this was probably the most joyful thing in the past few months, and hurriedly replied: "Go, of course go, teaching and educating people is my ideal." ”

Lin Zichen also added a little joy in his heart, in the past few days, he has been obsessed with the fact that others scolded him for being crippled and forgot about this matter, but fortunately, Li Yao came today, so he found this opportunity. Coming out of the Lin family, Li Yao was full of wind, and Ling Li was also smiling, looking like she had seen the person she was thinking about, and they had a good conversation.

Li Yao couldn't help but ask, "Is it good to chat?" ”

Lingli shook her head.

"You're so happy without much talking?"

"You don't understand, I'm happy just to see him."

Li Yao shook her head, she didn't know what it was like to like someone, maybe one day she could also understand Lingli's mood.

Ling Li suddenly asked, "Why are you so happy about the third sister?" ”

Li Yao smiled: "I'm going to teach at school in the future!" ”

Li Yao wants to teach, and has been approved by the eldest wife, so it is not easy for others to say anything, Li Yao is usually low-key and introverted, but it is difficult to hide that everything is outstanding, there are many rich ladies in the county, but there are few like her.

Master Li rarely took the initiative to talk to her, and he deliberately called her that day: "I heard your aunt say that you are going to teach at school in a few days?" ”

Li Yao didn't know why, she was extremely restrained in front of him, everyone said that the eldest son and the third son of the Li family, that is, her father, looked the most similar, not only looked alike, but also had a similar temper, so the two brothers liked to fight back and forth since they were children, and the relationship was deeper than that of the other brothers.

Her father has been very strict with her since she was a child, and she always feels like she is standing in front of her own father when she stands in front of this uncle.

She whispered back, "Yes." ”

Master Li nodded: "Well, you are more promising than your sisters and sisters." Then he left.

Li Yao was lying on the bed that day, she suddenly felt an unprecedented lightness, in a few days, she could do what she wanted to do, maybe in the near future, she could get rid of her current state and go to a higher place

With the help of Lin Zichen, she quickly adapted to the life of teaching in school, and her fate seemed to have taken a turn for the better, coupled with Lin Zichen's daily study and preparation for classes, the two were more familiar than before, not only that, but the relationship between the three sisters was also closer.

Lin Zichen thought that Li Yao had thoughts about his younger brother, and he was also very honest, and said: "My younger brother doesn't talk much, others say that he is cold and unreasonable, but only I know that he is actually a kind and enthusiastic person, but he is a little introverted, you... ”

When Li Yao heard this, he knew that he had misunderstood, so he immediately said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm here to help others inquire." ”

"Lingli?"

It seems that he actually knows something, Li Yao simply didn't hide it from him, and nodded.

Lin Zichen asked, "What about you?" Do you have someone you like? ”

Li Yao replied very simply: "No." ”

"You're a cheerful person!" Lin Zichen said with a smile.

"It's not something to be seen in, so why hide it."

Li Yao just looked coquettish and timid, but in fact he was free and cheerful, he smiled and said, "Yes." ”
