After letting Lin Dahe help watch Sanya at home, the two brothers said a few more words and then separated.

Lin Qi didn't go back to the house directly. First, he went to the stove, set up a pot to set a fire, and took out the three big meat buns that had been in his pocket and steamed them.

When the steamed buns were cooked, Mrs Huang came in smelling the fragrance, "Third brother, you are not honest, you actually eat alone!"

The appearance is obvious, it is impossible to eat alone, so she will be awarded some points.

Lin Qi dared to make steamed buns at home, so he was not afraid that someone would come, especially Lin Dahu's family. He said, "Is it bad to eat alone? That's easy. When I go to town tomorrow, I will look for Shige'er to eat every day. , to know that he is the one who eats the best in their family."

Huang Shi was too choked to speak.

Lin Qi put the hot steamed buns in the bowl, and he continued: "I think in the next life, my brother will not send my uncle a bite to eat. I will go to find him every noon."

After he finished speaking, he handed the bowl to Mrs. Huang, "Sister-in-law, have one while it's hot?"

How dare Huang Shi dare to take it, if the third child really goes to find her son for food every day, what should he do? Why does Shige'er have to take care of his face in the school? The third child wants Shige'er to exchange or not?

With a heavy snort, he turned and left.

Lin Qi took the buns and went to the Westinghouse. As soon as he entered, he saw three girls making up the buns. He greeted, "Come, eat first."

Sanya is the youngest, almost drooling at the smell of the meat buns.

She is the youngest, and her mother died when she was not sensible. Since she can remember, she has never eaten meat buns, so she doesn't know what it tastes like.

Da Ya and Er Ya have eaten once.

It was a big meat bun, which my mother brought back from a foreign home. A bun was divided into two halves. After the two sisters ate it, they ate it for several days.

And this time, there were three big meat buns in front of them.

They were all too greedy, but no one dared to step forward, including Sanya, who was already drooling.

In this family, their father is the closest person to the three sisters, but he is also the least acquainted. They see their father less every day than the rest of the family. When they wake up in the morning, their father is not at home, and when they come back in the evening, they are almost done. fall asleep.

Sometimes they feel so tired that their father is so tired. They want to care and care, but all they get is impatient perfunctory, and they are told to work hard at home again and again. They are not allowed to be lazy or temper tantrums.

Once or twice, countless times.

They lived like a puppet on a string.

Seeing that the three girls hadn't come, Lin Qi stepped forward and stuffed the buns in their palms, "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."

The three sisters were a little dazed holding the steamed buns, not knowing what to do.

Instead, Er Ya said softly, "It's delicious even when it's cold."

The half of the buns that my mother gave her was cold, but it was a long time ago that she could only remember the special fragrance.

Lin Qi didn't continue urging them to eat it, but asked them to pack up the things that made the nets and bring them into the house.

Lin Qi wanted to have a good relationship with them, but he knew that it would be impossible for a while, so he should take it slow.

the next morning.

Lin Qi got up early, he opened the door, and saw the eldest girl coming over with the washbasin, "Dad, for you."

Da Ya put the washbasin away, and went to the east room to find Er aunt.

Lin Qi knew that this was Lin Dahe's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu, who was taking care of Da Ya. With Lin Dahe and his wife watching, he could rest assured when he went out.

After washing his face and eating something, Lin Qi went to town with Brother Min.

Lin Shimin is a little confused now, how could he be carried to study so well? He doesn't want to read at all, he wants to continue to be the king of children in the village, he wants to climb trees and dig birds, he wants to go down to the river to fish for fish, and he thinks differently... Anyway, he wants to do everything, but he doesn't want to read and read.

Lin Shimin touched his face and quietly asked the people around him, "Third Uncle, you said I want to tell Dad that I don't want to read, what will happen to him?"

Lin Qi glanced down at him, "Maybe I'll beat you up?"

Lin Shimin heaved a sigh of relief, changed it, and then beat him to accept it.

With a smile in his eyes, Lin Qi continued, "Beating in front of the whole village."

Lin Shimin gasped, that's not good! He is the king of children in the village. If he was beaten in front of his people, wouldn't he lose face as a 'king'?

Forget it, let's be honest first, and if he doesn't have the talent for reading, his parents won't force him to go?

When the two uncles and nephews arrived in the town, they went directly to the master's house.

Chen Weng lived very far away. The road in that alley was full of potholes, and some houses were filled with turbid and stinky water, which was messy and smelly.

Lin Qi took Brother Min to a door in the alley, which was one of the few in the alley that even cleaned the door.

As soon as he came over, he decided in his heart that if the master's family was so reluctant to clean up, he would switch to another family.

He can accept the reading environment of the four walls of the family, but let him study in the stench, that's fine.

Lin Qi reached out and knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard footsteps.

The person who opened the door was a child of six or seven years old. He tilted his head and looked at it, and asked in a childish tone, "Are you Daddy's student?"

"Who are you."

Lin Qihuan didn't speak, and Lin Shimin squeezed forward. He liked to play with people of the same age. When he saw that there was a child in the master's family, he decided to take him as a younger brother.

The little boy frowned, "But Daddy said only one person, did you find the wrong place?"

Lin Qi put one hand on Brother Min's head, "This is my nephew, and I will ask the Master to teach."

Xiaotong nodded knowingly, then invited people in, and said as he walked: "Dad goes out to buy medicine for mother, you wait first, he will come back later."

After bringing the person to the stone table in the yard, the child hurriedly poured the tea, and after the work was over, he stayed where he was and didn't know what to do.

Lin Qi took the opportunity to look around, and it turned out to be a family member.

There is almost nothing in the whole yard except stone tables and chairs.

Lin Shimin couldn't sit still, so he approached the boy, said his name first, and then asked, "What's your name?"

The child looked a little nervous, and clenched the sides of the clothes tightly with both hands: "My name is Zhang Tong."

"Then you will call me eldest brother in the future, and I will show you." Lin Shimin's eyes glowed, but he didn't want to study at all before, but now he is a little interested.

Zhang Tong shook his head, "No, no, daddy said, we are classmates, if you are serious, you are all my juniors."

Lin Qi, who was drinking tea, looked a little uneasy, so this little Douding is his senior brother, and this nephew, Min Ge'er, must also become his junior brother?

Lin Shimin didn't understand this very well. He dragged Zhang Tong and asked for a long time, and finally figured out what was the relationship.

But it's a pity, I have the guts to think but I don't have the guts to do it.

When Zhang Weng came back, the three of them had already chatted. He first took the medicine into the inner room, and then came out to explain: "My wife is sick and lying in the inner room, so I wronged you two to study in the yard first?"

The question was a little cautious, for fear that the two uncles and nephews would dislike it. After all, there are no two study rooms, which is a bit shabby.

However, there is no way. If the students who are admitted are younger, they can enter the back room, but Lin Qi is about the same age as him, and his wife is recuperating in the back room. Naturally, they cannot be in the same room, and it will not be good for the reputation of the two of them.

Lin Qi had no objection, and Lin Shimin naturally had no objection. The two uncles and nephews only officially started their study tour.

Why did Lin Qi take this road? Everyone knows how difficult the ancient imperial examinations were. Countless people who have studied hard for more than ten years may not be able to pass the exam, let alone a person in his thirties who has just started studying.

If he really stayed for more than ten or twenty years, he would be able to pass away.

But who gave Lin Qi a golden finger?

Just before he came to this world, the system 888 asked him if he wanted to use his points to exchange for goods. It was useless for him to refuse at that time, but it did not mean that it was useless now.

It took three hundred points to get an unforgettable golden finger.

Wouldn't it be easy to study hard and have a good memory every day?

If he's stupid and doesn't understand, then he can buy another golden finger of wisdom. If the two are combined, let's not talk about what the champion is, and it's not a problem to be a scholar?

Lin Qihuan, who opened the golden finger, really scared Chen Weng.

Chen Weng looked in disbelief, "I know all of them? Are you sure you know all these characters? Are you sure you haven't read before???"

If you teach one character to recognize one character, after an hour, you can actually recognize hundreds of small characters. This is too fast, right?

And it's not that older people are better at teaching, sometimes younger ones are better at teaching than older ones.

But now...

This end has already recognized hundreds of characters, while Lin Shimin on the other end is worrying about a dozen or so characters.

Once again, after confirming that Lin Qi had never studied before, Chen Weng looked amazed, and then shook his head regretfully, "Unfortunately, if you could go to the school earlier, I'm afraid it would be a different situation at this time."

He knew so many scholars, but no one could be like Lin Qi. It's a pity...

Lin Qi didn't think it was a pity. At noon, he planned to take Brother Min to find a place to eat lunch. Chen Weng said, "If you don't dislike it, why don't you come to my house to eat."

Lin Qi looked at the kitchen room, "But isn't my wife recovering from her illness, so I don't need to worry about it."

Chen Weng waved his hand: "It's okay, my wife is not healthy, I can only cook, but I'm not good at cooking, don't dislike it."

Lin Qi thought for a while, and he said, "In that case, Brother Min and I each pay four wen, which is our meal money."

This is what Chen Weng was waiting for. He was really short of money and money, thinking that the two newly recruited disciples are going to eat out, it would be better to eat at their house, but he did not want to overcharge, so he said: "A total of four wen That's all, it's just commonplace meals, not worth that much money."

In this way, the two uncles and nephews had lunch at Chen's house, and they studied for more than an hour in the afternoon before leaving and coming back tomorrow.

Lin Shimin's head almost exploded when he learned, he shook his head, "Senior brother, you said... ouch."

Lin Qi took back the hand that knocked on his head, "You have to call me third uncle when you leave the master's house."

Lin Shimin pouted, knowing that he would call him "Senior Brother" more often at the Master's house. When he thought about calling his third uncle "Senior Brother", wouldn't he be called "Senior Brother's Second Brother"?

Covering his mouth and snickering, it was much cheaper for him to take advantage of.

After leaving the Master's house, Lin Qi did not go back immediately, but stayed at Brother Min and went to the pier.

The wharf is a lively place with many boat merchants coming and going. On the streets here, there are many hawkers who set up stalls. He walked to a stall selling flowers and picked them.

"This eldest brother, did you buy it for the girl in the family? I bought the goods here from the boat from Shangjing, all of which are the most popular styles in Shangjing." The stall boy said.

Lin Shimin imitated his third uncle to squat and choose, and he picked up a red and bright flower head, "This one looks good."

"My little brother has a good eye. This kind of pattern sells the most, and many little girls like it."

Lin Shimin asked impatiently, "How much?"

The little brother stretched out his hand and gestured, "One of five texts."

Lin Shimin frowned, "So expensive?"

You can buy two meat buns for an extra penny.

Lin Qi chose two more and added three together, "I want ten papers."

The little brother wanted to pretend to be distressed and add more, but seeing that the two of them were not dressed very well, obviously they were not people with spare money. If you like it, you must come here often in the future.”

Lin Qi took out the copper plate and asked, "Your business is pretty good, right?"

"Let's change line, there are many vendors coming and going, it's better than other places in town." The vendor's brother is a talkative person, so he didn't need Lin Qi to make clichés, so he took the initiative to say it, "It's just that the booth fee is too expensive, and you get two a day. Ten Wen, if the business is good, it doesn’t matter, if the business is bad, you have to pay for it yourself.”

Lin Qi didn't ask when he heard what he wanted to hear.

He didn't think that setting up a stall here would cost him money to go in. If that's the case, the stall here wouldn't be crowded.

Putting the head flower in his sleeve, Lin Qi planned to leave with his nephew.

"Wait a while, Uncle Third." Lin Shimin was reluctant to leave, he pointed to the sea, "Look, what a big ship."

Lin Qi looked at it. To him, the ship was not too big or unusual, but it shocked many people here. They all looked at the sea and made a sound of amazement.

Lin Qi's hand fell on Min Ge'er's head, "When you learn to go to the exam, you can go by boat."

"Really?" Lin Shimin raised his head to confirm.

Lin Qi nodded, "Of course."

"Wow!" Lin Shimin clenched his fists. Before he was ten years old, he already had a direction in his heart. He wanted to go to the exam, not for the sake of being a student or a scholar, but to be able to sit on this big boat. How majestic.

Lin Qi did not urge and stood beside him and waited.

Among Yuanshen's family, only Lin Dahe's family has expressed kindness to them, Baokou Xiaodouding, who is standing beside him now.

Before the three sisters were sent out, it was Xiaodouding, who had just arrived at the front of the original body, to stop the person who came to pick them up.

It's a pity that a child can't stop him.

After the three sisters were sent away, Brother Min was sad for a long time, and when Erya Sanya's corpse was returned, he seemed to have grown up suddenly. Instead of playing the game of the king and the younger brother with the children in the village, he Helping the family and earning some money will be quietly sent to marry a fool.

After the original body passed away, he would occasionally visit Da Ya. There were only two brothers, Min Geer. At first, they could only secretly send some food. When the two brothers grew up, they would be able to rely on Da Ya. Whenever the maid's family bullied her, they would hit the door with a hoe.

This has come and gone. Although Da Ya has a difficult time at her husband's house, she is not beaten from time to time.

The original body was not there, but Lin Qi remembered this feeling, which is why Min Geer came to town with him.

The two uncles and nephews went out of the town and took the ox cart back to the village.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Qi had a look of joy on his face and shouted loudly, "Father and mother! Father and mother!"

Mrs. Lin was getting annoyed at this time, and when she heard the shout, she replied loudly, "What are you shouting, calling your soul?"

Lin Han was smoking a cigarette and wanted to talk to his third son.

But they didn't want to talk about it, it didn't mean that Lin Qi wouldn't come, so he rushed into the main room and said happily: "Dad and mother, you don't know, the master praised me! He said that if I started reading and reading a few years ago, I would be able to do it now. Scholar."

The old couple Lin Han sneered in unison, do they believe it? Of course you don't believe it. If you want to believe it, you're a fool. Even Brother Shi has not passed the exam for so many years, so the third idiot can get the top spot in the exam? Dream it.

Mrs. Lin sneered, "Don't overestimate what you can do. If you can't learn well, go to work quickly. You don't know how much money you waste all day long."

"Mother, I'm telling the truth." Lin Qi said excitedly, "I shouldn't have offered to Shige'er, Shige'er is not as smart as me, if you let me study and read earlier, I'm not sure here. I’ve already become an official, so I don’t expect the family to be the same for several years, or even worse.”

The faces of the two elders are even worse. They have always felt that Brother Shi is the most promising among the children in the family, but the third child has always been disgusted, and it is the fact that they dislike it. They can't even defend themselves.

Lin Qi continued to boast affectionately, "Unlike me, the master said that I am a once-in-a-century wizard, and sooner or later, when there will be brilliance, I will definitely change the face of my family, make my father's face brighter, and let my mother be a master. Madam Haoming!"

"..." The old couple of the Lin family couldn't even laugh sneeringly. Now they realized how good the third child was.

For the Wizards? Change to Brilliant Tenda? Change Mrs. Haoming?

Bah, it must be the Master who thinks the third child is ignorant, for fear that they will not let him continue reading, so he brags about himself like this.

Lin Han stared at him, "I tell you, don't make money, I won't give you any more money."

Mrs. Lin suddenly reacted.

Well, she said why the third child suddenly praised himself so much, and he dared to ask for money, "For the wizard, you are really becoming more and more dishonest, the third child, to say such nonsense in order to make money."

"Mother, I didn't lie to you." Lin Qi looked anxious, "If you don't believe me, ask Brother Min."

Lin Shimin nodded, "Master really praised the third uncle."

And he praised it more than the third uncle himself said, but he didn't understand it very well. It was obvious that the master said so, why don't grandpa and grandma believe it?

He explained for the third uncle, "Grandpa is true. The third uncle can read and write very fast. I only learned a little bit, and the third uncle has learned a lot."

The more the two uncles and nephews boasted, the more Lin Han didn't believe it. He only felt that the third child was thinking about his money, and he made up his mind that he absolutely didn't want to believe his nonsense.

At the same time, I thought to myself that the third child was not as honest as before, and now he went to town and his mind was much more alive than before.

"Father and mother, how can you do this? Shige said that you can do it, but I said you can't?" Lin Qi looked resentful, and he said calmly: "If I don't believe it, I won't be able to learn anything."

With that said, he turned to leave.

Seeing his back, Mrs. Lin was so angry that she said, "The third guy, why is he always angry with me, I knew he should have been thrown into the river and drowned when he was born."

Lin Han's face was calm, "It won't work like this."

Mrs. Lin also knew that it would not work, but now that the third child can't enter the oil and salt, what can she do?

"If you want me to say, I shouldn't have given him money yesterday. If I go out and see a lot of hearts, I will be wild. In the future, even if he doesn't go to school, he won't honestly earn money for his family." Mrs. Lin complained a little, if it wasn't for the head of the family Going alone, how can it be like this.

Lin Han actually thought so in his heart, but after thinking about it, others couldn't say it. He glanced sideways, "What does a woman know? What should I do in exchange for asking you?"

Madam Lin sneered, "Of course not."

Lin Han snorted heavily, and went out the door with a dry cigarette.

Lin Shimin watched Grandpa leave, and he pouted: "Grandpa is really partial. You are obviously better than your cousin, third uncle, why don't they believe it."

Lin Qi didn't respond, all he wanted was that Lin Han didn't believe it, as long as he didn't believe him, he could go on.

Lin Qi said to him, "Go play, get up early tomorrow, and continue to go to town."

Lin Shimin had a bitter face, and really didn't want to get up early to go to town.

Lin Qi squeezed his face bag and went back to the house.

Inside the house, the three sisters were sitting by the window, weaving again.

Lin Qi sat next to them, picked up one and looked at it, and asked curiously, "How much can this one sell?"

Da Ya didn't say anything, San Ya couldn't answer, but Er Ya said timidly: "Five articles and two articles."

Lin Qi nodded clearly, five articles and two cents, one day the three sisters made calluses on their fingers, but only a dozen or so, earning two cents of money.

A month is too much to count, but it is only more than 60 articles, so Mrs. Qian Lin is thinking about it, and if it is less, she will scold a few words loudly.

Lin Qi took out three head flowers from his pocket, "Hey, Dad saw it in the town, see if you like it, if you don't like it, Dad will go to town tomorrow and change it."

"Wow! It's the first flower!" Sanya's eyes lit up, not to mention the first flower in the village, it is a red string that is very rare in the family.

Erya's hands didn't move, and her eyes were fixed on the head flower in her father's hand.

On the other hand, Da Ya didn't have the slightest joy on her face, she just had some doubts. She didn't quite understand how Daddy had changed so much in the past few days.

Is it because she is too old to be able to...

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with sadness.

There is a family in the village, and the situation is very similar to theirs. That family has four daughters. Because the family is poor, after the daughters are in the family, they will 'send' them out one by one, and all the money in exchange will be given to the family hall. Brothers marry wives.

Daddy treats them so well now, does he have this plan too?

There was some moisture in her eyes, and Da Ya held back her tears. She thought sadly, if Daddy really wanted to 'send' out, then she should do it.

It's just that you can't beat the idea of ​​​​the two sisters.

Just before my mother died, I took her by the hand and asked her to take good care of her younger sister. At that time, she had been obliged to her mother and promised her that she would take good care of her two younger sisters.

The tears that he was holding back finally fell, and the teardrops splashed on the back of his hands.

This time, Lin Qi was frightened.

Why did you suddenly cry so well?
