Chapter 157: Apprenticeship

Li Lan took four children and stepped out of the alley, followed the bustle, and went to the place where the people were buzzing.

Yu Feiwan strolled through this small city with interest.

It's not as prosperous as it will be in the future, but it's also interesting.

It seems to be more simple and simple among anyone.

Walking around, Li Lan gritted her teeth and bought a delicately packaged fountain pen as Lin Haihong's apprenticeship.

It's so expensive.

No wonder, in the past thousands of years, the scholars who are serious about the classics are all noble people who burn money and spend.

Thanks to the current policy, otherwise there are so many children in the family who can't afford to send them to school.

As for the cloth, Li Lan didn't buy it in the end, and bought the ready-to-wear under the persuasion of the salesperson.

It turns out that people in the city rarely buy cloth and tailor-made clothes.

"How do you feel that once you get to the city, this money is worthless?"

Li Lan couldn't help but murmur.

"No, you can't sit back and eat, you have to think of something to make money as soon as possible, and I still owe 2,000 yuan to others."

Li Lan only felt that the pressure was like a mountain, which made her a little breathless, so she was in no mood to continue shopping, and decided to return home hastily.

Lin Haihong held the pen case in his hand, and his mind was complicated and wonderful.

It was obviously a cold metal touch, but he felt the scorching heat from this coldness, which went straight to the bottom of his heart.

This is a valuable fountain pen, and he can see that when his aunt pays, she also gritted her teeth and gritted her teeth, and it hurt like cutting meat, but in the end she took out the money, lit it one by one, and handed it to the store with both hands.

This, it's all for him.

Lin Haihong tightened his hands, looking at the figure in front of him, which was not tall and still sighing, and suddenly felt that he was not afraid of anything.

Xu is Lin Haihong's eyes were too obviously burning, Li Lan suddenly felt uncomfortable, and as soon as she turned her head, she bumped into Lin Haihong's eyes that were like the sun of the nine heavens, and she was even more uncomfortable, "Auntie is not reluctant to spend ......"

Well, Li Lan can't go on, she just can't bear it.

Li Lan paused, and said in another way: "This fountain pen, although it is expensive, as long as you can watch Teacher Lu learn real talents, it will be worth the cost." ”

"This is what your uncle often says, good steel should be used on the blade."

"I'm not distressed, I'm not distressed at all."

(; Д`)

If you don't pretend, you're going to die of distress.

For a person like her, who has been detaining and searching for decades, spending money is like cutting meat.

"Auntie, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

When I grow up, I will be filial to you.

These are the words that Lin Haihong did not say.

Li Lan said that her heart hurt even more.

Such a good child, but it's not hers.

Pain!

It really hurts!

Li Lan subconsciously quickened her pace, letting her chaotic and complicated emotions blow away in the wind.

Lin Haihong scratched his head blankly, and Yu Feiwan handed over a young and restless look.

Lin Haihong was immediately relieved.

When the group returned home, it was close to noon, and the sun was just right overhead.

It's not warm, but it's bright.

The old lady and Mrs. Fu were bending down to clean up the abandoned wooden pavilion.

"Coming back?"

"Haihong, go wash your hands, change into new clothes, and your uncle and aunt will take you over to apprentice."

The old lady straightened up, leaned on crutches, and saw the pen case in Lin Haihong's hand at a glance.

By the gazebo, a patch of uprooted weeds and cleared moss had been piled up.

Li Lan's eyes widened, and she rubbed her hands nervously at a loss, "Mother-in-law, I won't go, right?" ”

"Why don't you go with Shuishan?"

"I haven't read a book, and my words are rough, I'm afraid that Mr. Lu won't like it."

The old lady casually wiped the dirt from her hands with a rag attached to the railing, and walked down from the gazebo on crutches: "You go." ”

"Teacher Lu is not that kind of person, just exercise in advance, and then you and Shuishan will have to do small business and deal with all kinds of people."

"Don't be too nervous, you'll be able to handle it as you normally would."

"Go ahead."

The old lady's words did not leave Li Lan any room to refuse again.

"Shuishan is still turning the ground in the garden behind the house, you go and call him, and let him pick up the clean."

"The main thing is to be clean and tidy, just fine."

The old lady reached out and patted Li Lan's slightly hunched back, "Straighten up your waist." ”

Li Lan sighed heavily and raised her head.

Go for it!

Can she run out of the cannibalistic mountains alone, and is she afraid of living in the city and dealing with the people in the city?

It's not worse than the wild wolves in the mountains and the villagers who forced her to die, right?

Li Lanxiong was high-spirited, and took a step, "Water Mountain, don't turn over the ground." ”

After simply tidying up their clothes and meticulously combing their hair, Yu Shuishan and Li Lan took Lin Haihong to Old Man Shao's house.

As for the rest of the little radish heads, one by one, pose and listen to the corner.

Old Lady: No eyes, no eyes at all.

"If you rub it again, your clothes will be dirty."

"If you have nothing to do, come and pull weeds and shovel moss."

Yu Fei reluctantly withdrew his ears, took the shovel from the old lady's hand, squatted on the ground, and struggled with the moss in the shady corner.

Yu Ping and Yu Fengjiao honestly bent down to pull out the dry grass.

Li Lan and the three of them didn't go for too long, and it was only a quarter of an hour's work, so they came together, and Lin Haihong had an extra piece of moist jade around his neck.

"Mother-in-law, Mr. Lu gave Haihong a piece of jade, but I really can't refuse."

"I wonder if the pens I bought were too cheap."

"Compared with this piece of jade, that pen really can't be put on the table."

Li Lan regretted it a little.

I knew that Mr. Lu's return gift was so heavy, so she should grit her teeth again and choose a better one.

However, if you bite it again, your teeth will break.

The old lady said lightly, "The apprenticeship is a part of our heart." ”

"Mr. Lu's return gift is also a part of Mr. Lu's heart and expectation."

"The beauty of the jade is flawless, the gentleman is like jade, the brilliance is introverted, the warmth and luster are as good as the cut, the elders give jade, I hope that Haihong can be inscribed with things, such as jade flawless and humble."

"Li Lan, your heart has been unstable for the past two days."

The regret and chagrin in Li Lan's heart were replaced by doubts.

Do not understand.

Do not understand.

Yu Shuishan chuckled lightly and patiently explained to Li Lan in a whisper.

"Mother-in-law's words are too literary."

Li Lan muttered quietly.

"Mother's words are also for Haihong, so it's not too white." Yu Shuishan replied with a smile.

Li Lan was speechless, and invisibly felt that she was being compared to a child.

"In the future, every night before going to bed, you will tell me a few more words of literary recitation, listen to them a few more times, and I will be able to bluff people in the future."

Li Lan raised her eyebrows, unconvinced.

Yu Shuishan continued to smile and nodded.

"Well, maybe when the time comes, those words I say will become a lullaby."

Li Lan frowned, "That was before." ”

"The current Li Lan is already a pursuing Li Lan."
