Although the book is old, it has a faint wood scent, which should have a dust-proof effect, which shows the owner's care.
"Grandma, although the things from my childhood are a little blurry, I still remember some of them."
Lin Yian placed the book on the table on the kang, his face calm and indifferent.
"My grandmother doesn't like girls. Even Xiaohua has been bullied by her cousins. What about me? I don't want to bring trouble to my family because of my existence."
Back then, because Wang Chunni demanded a divorce and forcefully took a child away, she was no longer alive. The Wang family felt very guilty, and the Lin family had more people than the Wang family could afford to offend. The two sides had no contact since then, and treated this relative as if they had no chance.
Lin Yian didn't want to become a reason for the Wang family to suck blood from her family members after she came back, otherwise she would let them experience what it meant that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. She didn't care about her reputation.
Then Lin Yian saw Lin Dejiang take out a wooden bookmark like a magic trick. There were no words on it, only a bunch of carved bamboo. It was obviously newly carved.
"Ah Ci, take this and use it when you read. Also, there are so many people at home, don't be afraid."
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."
She is not afraid, she can also protect her family.
Lin Yian remembered something and asked, "Grandma, have they seen this Xiaohua?"
Fan Zhu smiled: "None of the children in our family are interested in these literatures. As a grandmother, you never asked me about them. It's a pity for my books. Fortunately, our Ah Ci is back. Let's take a look and see if she is interested."
Indeed, the two older brothers were not clear, but the three younger brothers were more interested in science and engineering, even Xiao Zhen was the same, although he was not good at studying.
She had told Xiaobin to read more books before, but she didn't know if he had read any...
"Interested, grandma, I'll go back and take a look."
Fan Zhu waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, but don't mess up my yarn anymore. I don't think I can teach you anymore."
Lin Yian embarrassedly picked up her half-knitted sweater, which was full of wrong stitches. It was made by Fan Zhu who taught her how to do it.
"Grandma, how about I help you unravel the yarn?"
"Don't! Your grandfather can do it better than you." Lin Dejiang had already reached out to take the sweater and started to unravel the wool. It was obvious that he was a skilled worker.
Well, efficiency is key.
After arranging the work at hand, Fan Zhu talked to Lin Yian about another matter.
"Ah Ci, Fang'er told me before that Xiaobin wanted to transfer to a school in the city, and later Xiaohua told me that he also had this plan, but it has not been planned yet."
Brothers, are you so efficient?
And Lin Jianbin, weren’t you originally not interested?
Lin Yian felt a little embarrassed. Why did she feel like she was a pyramid schemer who was specifically trying to trick good kids who studied hard into following her lead?
"Xiaohua and the others have told me the reason. Grandma also thinks what you said makes sense. Our family is not reluctant to spend the money. But Ah Ci, have you ever thought about what you would do if Xiaohua and the others become confused or resentful of you because of the long wait?"
"Grandma, I feel at ease."
Lin Yian only said this, and that was all he could say.
She knew that if the college entrance examination was resumed in the future, she would not be able to just stand by and watch, but she could not say it out loud, so she could only guide them in this way.
They were willing to believe and do it, and she felt at ease and happy.
They thought she was daydreaming and talking big, and although she was a little disappointed, she felt relieved.
She is their sister, but just their sister.
In one word, Fan Zhu understood.
Aci's attitude towards this matter is not that it must be done. Suggestions are just suggestions, and she respects her family's own ideas.
"Okay, grandma knows. I'll talk to them later."
"Yeah." Lin Yian added, "Grandma, if Xiao Zhen doesn't want to, can you please not force him to go? Everyone has their own path they want to take, and what we think is good may not be what they want."
"Grandma knows. You are still a child. Why do you worry so much?"
Lin Yian pondered for a moment and said, "I have a lot of ideas. It would be a waste if I didn't use them. Grandma, I'm going to look for Xiaohua and the others first."
"Go ahead."
When only Lin Dejiang and Fan Zhu were left in the room, they sat in silence for a while.
After Lin Dejiang removed a wrong stitch, he changed the water in the hot water bag Fan Zhu used to warm her feet: "Do you want to ask Doctor Bao to come and see you and prescribe you a prescription?"
Fan Zhu shook her head: "It's okay, I know my own body. And I feel that my legs don't hurt as much recently. Maybe it's because Ah Ci is back. I'm in a good mood and I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."
"Ah Ci is such a smart and independent kid. If there hadn't been that opportunity to report it, I don't think Ah Ci would have told us about these things and would have chosen to solve them herself."
Lin Dejiang didn't say anything, and continued to unravel the sweater in his hands. After unraveling the wool, he had to wash it before knitting it again.
Fan Zhu couldn't help but bring up what she said when Ah Ci first came back: "Dejiang, if we had acted cold and awkward when Ah Ci came back, Ah Ci would still be fine."
Lin Dejiang picked up the water cup and handed it to Fan Zhu: "Drink some water, we are not that kind of people."
Fan Zhu took a sip of water and put down the cup: "I know, I'm just expressing my feelings. You should drink some water too. You've been secretly smoking again recently, right?"
Lin Dejiang looked left and right, picked up the cup, drank the remaining water in it, and continued to unravel the wool.
He refused to admit it.
…………
"You guys, have you thought it through?"
Lin Yian sat on the kang in Lin Jianhua's room and stared at the two guys in front of him who acted without authorization.
"I've thought about it. I'll finish my six months of study in the county and make up for the other subjects while I'm at it."
Lin Jianhua also nodded: "I don't want to give up the knowledge I have learned in the past three years."
"Okay, just make up your mind. By the way, Jianzhen, neither of you are allowed to urge him or force him, especially you, Lin Jianbin. Remember?"
Having said that, Lin Jianbin had to make a few excuses for himself.
"Sister, do I look so stupid?"
Lin Yian smiled, a high IQ does not mean a high EQ.
"By the way, Third Sister, I have something to ask you."
Lin Yian became interested and even put down the book in his hand: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Here everyone is doing their job and living in harmony, but in a courtyard to the west of Wangjia Village, the situation is not so harmonious.
"clang!"
The splashed chicken blood was not wasted, but flowed into a large basin on the side, and only a little bit splashed onto people's faces.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I haven't killed many livestock in recent years, so my skills are a little rusty."
