In the afternoon, Lin Hai and his wife were preparing for tomorrow's stall, and Lin Mei also took Xiaobao to Uncle Lin's house.
Li Yu is writing her novel in the room.
"Mom, can I come in?" Lin Jiang asked after knocking on the door.
Li Yu put down his pen and replied towards the door: "Come in."
Lin Jiang pushed the door open and said, "Mom, what do you want me to do? Can I do it well?"
"Mom wants to ask you, your elder brother has been doing business recently, and your younger brother has gone to school, but you are the only one who helps wherever there is something to do. Do you feel that mom is partial to you and does not value you?" Li Yu said.
Lin Jiang's answer was beyond Li Yu's expectation. She thought that given Lin Jiang's personality, he would probably say no.
This was also within Li Yu's expectations, because it was human nature.
He said dejectedly, "Actually, Mom, I'm a little lost. I'm so stupid. My eldest brother is steady, and my third brother is smart. I feel useless, so it's only natural that I don't get your attention. I'm sorry, Mom. I know I shouldn't think this way."
Li Yu could understand his thoughts. There is a saying: Love the eldest, pamper the youngest, and leave a punching bag in the middle.
This is probably what Lin Jiang thought.
Li Yu didn't interrupt him. She waited until he finished before saying, "It's not that I don't love you. Well, your father died early, and your eldest brother is the oldest, so I rely on him more. Your younger brother is indeed very smart, but he has been in poor health since he was a child, and I have to pay attention to him all the time, so I have to worry more."
Seeing Lin Jiang hesitate to speak, Li Yu interrupted him and continued, "You've been worry-free since you were a child, and you've never caused me much worry. So naturally, I've ignored you. But my love for you is no less than theirs, do you understand?"
Anyway, no matter what the original owner thought before, Li Yu had to think and act in this way to gain confidence.
Sure enough, he immediately became happy, and Li Yu could even feel his eyebrows flying up.
He said, "Mom, I understand. I will never let my imagination run wild again."
"Well, that's good. I said I want you to learn a skill for your future. Although your skill seems useless now. But mother promises that one day everyone will know your name. Do you have the perseverance to practice it well?" Li Yu asked him.
"Of course, I believe in you. I will practice hard and will never embarrass you," said Lin Jiang.
"That's a good point, but there's one more thing. You can't tell anyone what you're studying, including your elder brother, your third brother, and Xiaobao. Even when you get married in the future, you can't do that. Can you do that?" Li Yu said.
Before Lin Jiang could say anything, she continued, "It's not that I don't trust your eldest brother and the others, it's just that the more people who know the secret, the more dangerous it is. I can't tell them to protect them."
Lin Jiang solemnly assured Li Yu: "I understand, mother, don't worry."
Li Yu then began to teach him what anti-text is and how to practice it.
Lin Jiang is literate. Although he is not well-educated, he knows the basic characters.
Li Yu planned to buy another copy of the Thousand Character Classic so that he could learn all the characters and practice the reverse of all the characters.
After a few demonstrations, Lin Jiang already understood what was going on.
Li Yu said, "Not only do you need to practice calligraphy well, you also need to carve it. Go to your third uncle's house and ask him about that kind of wood. It's the hardest and won't deform easily, and it lasts a long time. If there's nothing on the mountain, I'll buy it for you. Of course, any wood will do for now. I'll find you a good one later."
Lin Jiang agreed to all of them.
Li Yu added, "Mom won't be going to town tomorrow. Go buy yourself a copy of the Thousand Character Classic and a carving knife. From now on, practice calligraphy for an hour and carving for an hour every afternoon. Go ahead."
Lin Jiang agreed and walked towards the door. When one foot was about to cross the threshold, he pulled it back and said to her, "Mom, I will never let you down. Thank you, Mom. I am very happy."
Li Yu smiled and nodded.
After Lin Jiang left, she continued to work on her novel.
I'm really worried!
Li Yu found that she had recently begun to enjoy the feeling of being able to take care of everyone in the family. At first, she only wanted to occupy the original owner's body and raise her children for her.
Now she wants to make plans for everyone, not just to raise them, but to make them have their own value, not just to survive.
I also want to enrich their spiritual world.
This was probably the kind of feeling that came from being around each other. They were all children trying to survive. In her world, they were either high school students or college students, but here they were all worried about food and clothing, and struggling to start a family and build a career.
Although Li Yu selfishly wanted to use printing technology to gain some benefits for her third brother and her family, she also sincerely wanted to lower the cost of books so that more people could afford them.
