Chapter 69 Brother praises
Chapter 69 Brother praises
After selling the two Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, Lin Yan solved the problem of money for building a house, and there was also hope for her father's leg and her mother's health.
This put Lin Yan in a good mood today, except for the unpleasant incident of being attacked by Chen Feng...
Next, she planned to go to the prefectural city to sell plum wine. However, it would be inconvenient to carry too much by cart, and the journey was quite long, so Lin Yan decided to put it in her spatial storage and go scout the route first.
It just so happens that Lin Yu has a day off tomorrow, so she discussed with Lin's father about taking him to the prefectural city for fun.
“Just the two of you? No way! Absolutely not. If you were going to the county, that would be fine, but going to the prefectural city is too far. You might not even be able to come back today.” Lin’s father said with a serious expression.
Lin's mother also frowned, her face showing disapproval.
Lin Yu glanced at his sister secretly and gave her a look, signaling her to think of a solution.
Lin Yan then pulled out the all-purpose bullet shield again, saying, "Fu Bo will go with us."
"Is Young Master Fu going too?" Lin's father asked in surprise.
"Yes, he's going to the prefectural city to discuss business, so we're going with him to see what it's like." Lin Yan lied without batting an eye.
Lin Yu lowered his head and remained silent. He knew that his sister was definitely talking nonsense, so he had to hold back and not laugh out loud.
Mr. Lin softened somewhat, "Well... if Young Master Fu wants to go, it's not..."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up, thinking she had succeeded, but...
"no!"
Lin's mother's firm refusal came through the phone.
Lin Yan and Lin Yu both looked at their mother in surprise, because she usually didn't make many decisions and mostly went along with Lin Yan's or Lin's father's decisions. For some reason, she refused very decisively this time.
"Ah, right! No way!" Seeing the serious look on Lin's mother's face, Lin's father immediately changed his tune.
Lin Yan glanced at her father, her lips twitching. Then she turned to her mother, her face full of expectant coquettishness:
"Mother, why?"
"Both are unmarried, and you're not young anymore. How can you go on a long trip with a man from another village? People in the village will definitely spread rumors about you!" Lin's mother was concerned about Lin Yan's reputation.
Although she didn't mind Lin Yan and Fu Bo's interactions, it was definitely not acceptable for them to go out together and stay overnight.
"Uh!" Lin Yan didn't expect this either. She had a modern mindset and didn't care about such things at all.
Especially during the apocalypse, when a team of men and women went on a mission, they would just find any place to shelter from the wind and rain and sleep there. The world was fraught with danger; there was no time to care about such things.
"Not only Brother Fu Bo, but also his servants will be going," Lin Yu interjected to save the day.
"How many people?" Lin's mother glanced at him, her eyes full of disbelief.
"How many people?" Lin Yu turned to look at Lin Yan.
"Oh! Three or four people, I guess! Fu Bo is going out to practice on his own, so it's not good for him to bring too many people with him."
Looking at the two of them, Lin's mother's expression softened a bit. "Do you really have to go? If not, you can have your father go with you."
"No, Mother, there are so many people in the family. Father still has to stay, otherwise you'll be all alone." Lin Yan had this in mind as well.
The house was under construction and needed to be left unattended. Therefore, Lin's father couldn't be brought along, and it wouldn't be convenient for him to use his own space. So, he didn't tell the two of them he was going to sell wine, but simply said he was going out for fun.
"Alright then! You two must be careful!" Lin's mother knew that Lin Yan was now a person with her own ideas, so she didn't make things difficult for them and could only give them some advice.
"Great! Thank you, Mother!" Lin Yu jumped up happily.
Seeing how happy he was, Lin's parents couldn't help but smile too.
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but then she was conflicted again: should she tell her parents about her superpowers? But this kind of magic was fine to tease a child, but if she told her parents, she was worried that it would make them realize that she was not their daughter. She was torn between the two.
That night, Lin Yu was so excited he couldn't sleep and talked in Lin Yan's room.
"Sister, I heard from the teacher that there is an academy in the prefectural city that recruits students for the imperial examinations. If we study well and pass the preliminary examination, we can go there to study."
Seeing Lin Yu's expectant look, Lin Yan remembered that Lin Yu was destined to become a prime minister in the future, but that was without the opportunity to study. Now that he could study from a young age, she wondered what kind of person he would become.
"By the way, I haven't even asked about your studies yet!" Lin Yan asked with a smile.
Lin Yu was a little shy, but also a little proud. "At first, I couldn't keep up with the pace, but luckily the teacher was patient and willing to tutor me. He said I have a great talent for learning, and now I can always rank among the top in the quizzes."
Lin Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Ah Yu is so amazing! No wonder he's my brother."
Lin Yu lowered his head even more embarrassed.
"You want to visit that academy, right? We can go and have a look around when we go to the prefectural city tomorrow. There's no rush." Lin Yan understood.
"Yes. I want to see what those students are like! I want to study there in the future!" Lin Yu nodded, his eyes full of longing.
"It's great to have a passion for learning! Keep it up! Aim to be the top student in the exam!" Lin Yan praised Lin Yu like a younger brother, never wanting to dampen his confidence.
"Stop talking, sis! It's not that exaggerated! I haven't even passed the preliminary exam, how could I possibly become the top scholar?!"
Seeing Lin Yu blushing from the praise, Lin Yan felt a surge of pride. She thought to herself: With Lin Yu's current childlike appearance, and with my earnest guidance and Lin's parents both healthy, Lin Yu shouldn't turn into that villainous male lead again!
…………
The next morning, Lin Yan and Lin Yu got up and packed their things. With a basket on their backs, their father took them to the county to find Fu Bo.
Lin Yan needs to talk to Fu Bo and tell him not to go out and wander around these two days so that Lin's father won't see him.
Then he and Lin Yu took a car to the prefectural city.
In the car, Lin Yan said, "Dad, we probably won't be back for another day. Could you ask for leave for Lin Yu?"
"Hey, taking leave is no problem. I'll just tell him when I pick up Mr. Li today. Maybe we'll even run into Mr. Li!" Mr. Lin said with a smile.
"Master Li?" Lin Yan was taken aback.
"Hahaha! Yes, what a coincidence! Master Li's son is Ah Yu's teacher! I ran into Master Li when I went to pick him up and was quite surprised!" Lin's father said with a hearty laugh.
"What?! The gentleman is actually Master Li's son!" Lin Yu was shocked. He never expected that the old master who begged for wine every day was actually the father of his refined gentleman!
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected Li Deshan's son to be a schoolteacher. He was quite open-minded and didn't have the idea that he had to pass on his skills. He let his son go to school.
I had only learned from Zhang Peng that Li Deshan's son was not a craftsman, but I didn't expect him to be a teacher at the clan school.
That would make things much easier for Lin Yu to ask for leave.
They're all in Rong'an County. It's really a small world; the surrounding area is like a circle!
