Chapter 204: Apprenticeship
Lin Ruhai doesn't have the spare time to worry about Zhen Yingjia and Xiang Yunting now, he has been busy sorting out the methods and specific operation processes of pond farming. The original notes were too many and complicated, and they were all written by Lin Ruhai himself, and others wanted to help, but they didn't know where to start. Therefore, it really takes some effort for Lin Ruhai to sort out the thick pile of notes. Finally before the wax moon, Lin Ruhai sent someone to the capital together with the booklet of the above table and the booklet of pond farming. After all this, he can finally relax for a few days, and he also has time to pay attention to the lives of Jia Min and the children.
Jia Min has been busy lately, and Xiangyun Silk Village finally wove the first batch of one hundred horses of cloud brocade, and also wove three horses of silk yarn. Jia Min prepared the New Year's gifts to the emperor, Rongguofu and the Shen family in the capital, added twenty horses of cloud brocade to the Rongguo Mansion and the Shen family's New Year's gifts, sixty horses of cloud brocade were sent to the Xie family, and the rest were given to the emperor. In the New Year's gift to the emperor, there was also a horse of silk yarn and a drawing of the Qiluo loom. Jia Min originally wanted to use the Qiluo loom to earn a large amount of silver first, and then dedicate the drawings to the emperor. But because of the misfortune left by his eldest son Lin Lang when he caught Zhou, Jia Min wanted to rely on these credits to earn a way for his son to live.
Regarding the discord between her family and the Xie family, Jia Min had already made it clear to the Xie family in the letter, and the Xie family still had some understanding of the Xie family in Wuyi Lane, and she once told Mrs. Xie that her little cousin Xiao Qingfang was not as simple as it seemed, but Mrs. Xie didn't take it to heart. Although it is impossible for the Xie family and the Lin family to reconcile now, Jia Min still attaches great importance to the Xie family as a friend. However, fortunately, Xie is a smart and sensible person, not only sincerely apologized to Jia Min in his reply to Jia Min, but also wrote back to Xie's house in Wuyi Lane, scolding his eldest brother severely. Jia Min wrote a letter to Xie, which originally meant to be tempting, and if Xie had a knot in her heart because of this, she would just think that she was looking at the wrong person.
After the people who went to the capital to give New Year's gifts left, Jia Min began to be busy taking accounts. At the end of this year, Jia Min sent letters to the head of the village and the shopkeeper of the shop in the capital, asking them to come to Jiangnan to send interest and account books after the spring of the next year. Now, Jia Min only needs to take care of the accounts on Jiangnan's side. However, whether it is Jia Min's marriage or the Lin family's industry, most of them are in Jiangnan, and there are far fewer in the capital. So Jia Min didn't have much easier, and while taking inventory, Jia Min also had to prepare New Year's gifts for relatives and friends here in Jiangnan.
After Lin Ruhai was idle, he began to help Jia Min take inventory. He will also take time to check Lin Lang's progress in polishing his body every day, and he will also take his youngest son for a walk in the garden. Lin Yao is much quieter than Lin Lang, rarely crying, but rarely laughing. The cold expression on the little face that resembled Jia Min made people feel particularly funny.
However, Lin Yao seems to be smarter than Lin Lang, and he is only four or five months old, so he knows that he and his father are fighting wits and courage for Jia Min. Every night when she had to go to bed, Lin Yao would clamoring for Jia Min to hug her. Jia Min had obviously put him to sleep, as long as Yu's mother reached out to hug him, he would open his eyes in time, and he would not cry, just stared at Jia Min aggrievedly with his big watery eyes. Then Jia Min couldn't bear to leave him behind and let him sleep with Lin Ruhai and the couple. Every time Lin Ruhai saw this little villain sleeping between him and his daughter-in-law, he would grit his teeth.
Once, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear it anymore, he hadn't hugged his daughter-in-law for many days, so he repeatedly made sure that Lin Yu was asleep and gently picked him up, wanting to send him to the next room so that he could sleep with Yu's mother. But before he left the door of the inner room, Lin Yu directly urinated on Lin Ruhai, and opened his eyes and smiled at Lin Ruhai.
Another time, Jia Min also felt sorry for her husband who couldn't sleep well every night, so she went directly to Lin Yao's house to put him to sleep before leaving. Lin Ruhai thought that there should be no problem this time, but in the middle of the night, Yu's mother came over with Lin Yao, who was crying hoarsely. Lin Yu stopped crying as soon as she returned to her mother's arms, and rolled her eyes at Lin Ruhai.
Just when Lin Ruhai thought that his eldest son Lin Lang was good and never robbed him of his daughter-in-law, his eldest son found trouble for him.
On this day, Lin Ruhai hugged Lin Yu and took Lin Lang to look at the goldfish he bought back in the fish tank.
Lin Lang asked Lin Ruhai: "Daddy!" Why aren't goldfish golden? ”
"Because the red ones are more beautiful and more festive!"
"Since it's not golden, it shouldn't be called a goldfish! This black one is called a black fish, this red one is called a red fish, and this white one is called a white fish! That's right! ”
Lin Ruhai told Lin Lang about the origin of goldfish for a long time, saying that because the ancestor of goldfish, wild crucian carp, gave birth to red scales, he began to call this kind of fish with red scales goldfish.
Lin Lang didn't listen seriously at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't understand, and in his young mind, he had the idea of making a goldfish a real goldfish. So, the little guy secretly took the gold dust that Jia Min used to paint Huadian, and coated several goldfish with a layer of gold dust.
When Lin Ruhai saw the "goldfish" in the fish tank that had all turned their bellies and the gold dust floating on the water, he was angry. Of course, the consequence of Lin Ruhai's anger was that Lin Lang was beaten again!
Jia Min really has no way to deal with this naughty eldest son, every time Lin Ruhai finishes fighting, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min will explain the reason to him. Lin Lang looked like a well-behaved and obedient baby at that time, and his original form was revealed again in a few days.
Lin Ruhai said to Jia Min: "Qi Lan has come back, it's better to let Lang'er worship Qi Lan as a teacher as soon as possible!" ”
Jia Min felt that Lin Lang was only two years old and had to accept Qi Lan's training, and he was a little reluctant, but after the "goldfish" incident, Jia Min also felt that it was time to find someone to discipline him well.
After officially apprenticeship, Lin Lang followed Qi Lan to live in the outer courtyard, and followed Qi Lan out all day long, and he didn't know where he went. Almost a month has passed, Lin Lang is very happy every day, he eats a lot, he is no longer a picky eater, and he is no longer naughty at home. Because Qi Lan took him to play in the mountains and forests near Suzhou every day, he didn't have the time and energy to play trick-or-treating at home anymore, and he felt that there was no fun outside at home!
