Lin Wanyue felt like an old Native American chief.

With a sable on its head and a fluffy tail, it could elicit a series of "ooh ooh ooh" exclamations wherever it went.

Lin Diaodiao has practically become the darling of her friends.

After all, these little guys can have a great time playing with mud pigs and puppies, let alone Lin Diaodiao, a soft and real sable. The little guys like her even more.

They squatted around Lin Wanyue with longing eyes, wanting to touch her, but they only dared to chatter on and on.

After all, Lin Diaodiao is such a hypocrite.

She wouldn't let anyone near her except Lin Wanyue.

Relying on the fact that he hadn't been punished for touching Lin Diaodiao last time, Lin Zihan wanted to do the same again and stretched out his round little hand once more.

"Awoo awoo!" Lin Diao Diao flung him away with one paw, letting out a warning howl from its throat.

Despite its fierceness and hypocrisy, Lin Diao Diao is still very popular.

Who wouldn't want a little pet that loves them?

Wang Hu and Big Snot were extremely envious.

"Why doesn't this little guy like me? I was the first one to find it!" Wang Hu said with envy and jealousy.

"Tiger Bro, Tiger Bro, look at me!" It turned out that Slug had picked up a passing toad and put it on his head. "How about that, cool, right?"

The toad didn't move; it lay on his head, squinting its eyes, as if it were in a meditative state.

Big Nose excitedly carried the toad towards Lin Wanyue.

"Wanwan, look, look!"

Lin Wanyue: "!!!"

Don't come any closer!

When Lin Diaodiao saw the big, fat toad, she gripped Lin Wanyue tightly with both paws and her tail was taut, ready to escape at any moment.

What level is it?

They actually copied it!

Seeing that her friends were all trying to put small animals on their heads, and the things they put on were getting more and more bizarre, Lin Wanyue suddenly felt that she could no longer stay in this place and should go home.

...

Lin Family

At this moment, Lin Zhongyuan was lighting incense and asking Master Cui to teach him about policy essays.

"Excellent, excellent. This child is gifted. His writing is exquisite and thoughtful, especially in the policy essay section, which is concise, powerful, sharp, and skillful. It is truly rare for someone his age." Master Cui was very satisfied, nodding frequently and praising him.

Because of the spiritual fragrance, Lin Zhongyuan was not the only one who could see Master Cui.

"Really?" Xuefu also heard Master Cui's evaluation of her son and beamed with joy: "It's all thanks to Master Cui's excellent teaching!"

"I dare not accept such praise; it's just that the child loves to learn," Master Cui waved his hand modestly.

He didn't spend much time teaching Lin Zhongyuan; he mostly filled in the gaps in his knowledge.

Lin Zhongyuan himself was very grateful, feeling enlightened. With Master Cui's guidance, he was much faster than if he had figured it out on his own, and many of his ideas became clear, leading to a comprehensive understanding.

"Master, let me cook a dish of braised pork for you to offer as a sacrifice!" Xuefu wiped her hands, not knowing how to thank Master Cui. The only thing she could think of was to offer him a sacrifice.

"Hey, hey!" Master Cui quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need. I have a weak stomach and can't eat meat. If you really want to express your gratitude, just give me two packs of cigarettes!"

Xuefu: (?◇?)?

Two packs of cigarettes?

What is that?

Xuefu's eyes were filled with confusion.

Lin Wanyue walked in with Lin Diaodiao on her head and heard these words. She began to reasonably suspect that Master Cui was praising her elder brother on purpose in order to get cigarettes.

"Did you say those things to coax my mother because you wanted a cigarette?" Lin Wanyue put her hands on her hips and looked up at Master Cui.

"You! You! You're questioning my character?" Master Cui was so angry that he glared at the twins who had come up behind Lin Wanyue and pointed at them, saying, "Look, I've never praised either of them!"

Because I simply couldn't bring myself to praise it.

That scribbles...that poem he couldn't even memorize after half a day...

Not to mention that other child prodigies should be writing poetry at that age, but these two still stumble over their poems.

Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu, who were shot for no reason: "..."

The two were filled with deep regret. Why did they come back with their sister?

Aren't the toads by the pond quite amusing?

At least the toad won't speak up or humiliate them like that!

"..." Lin Wanyue was also speechless.

It seems that what Master Cui said does make some sense!

So he silently took out a packet of cigarettes from his sleeve and burned them for Master Cui.

Master Cui immediately took Hua Zi with delight, but did not smoke it. Instead, he happily drifted away to keep Lai Fu company.

"Sigh..." Laifu popped a mint candy into his mouth and said with a slightly worried voice, "Is it because I always call that girl ugly that she's too scared to come out? I'll just say less of it in the future..."

Master Cui: "?"

He sat there smoking, completely oblivious to Laifu's thoughts.

…

In the afternoon, Lin Wanyue went to the new house.

The carpenter and his apprentice were already living in the new house making furniture. They used strange tools to plane the wood into suitable sizes, leaving wood shavings all over the floor.

The carpenter saw Lin Wanyue, a little girl with a small sable on her head, and happily carved a very thin piece of paper into it for her to play with.
