Chapter 339: Sleeping in the same bed again
Wen Yan then made a suggestion: "My good friend and I have opened a few shops in the capital. If Fourth Brother is willing, we can let him learn from the shopkeepers so that we can expand our family's tofu business in the future."
After learning from the shopkeeper, you can also learn from Qingchuan.
Zhang Gan'niang was very moved when she heard this.
She often went to town to visit her son, and several times she saw him being scolded like a grandson by customers and shopkeepers.
She felt very distressed.
Now her youngest daughter is willing to pave the way for him, which is what she wants most.
However, she would not make decisions for her sons. Instead, she called the fourth son in and let him make his own decision.
After hearing this, Liu Laosi's eyes showed obvious surprise, but he restrained himself and looked at Ying Zhilin, observing his expression.
After all, his younger sister is married to him now, and he doesn't want her to have any unpleasantness with her husband because of helping him.
Ying Zhilin saw what he was thinking and immediately said, "In our family, everything other than studying is up to Yanyan."
Ying Zhilin didn't look reluctant at all, so Liu Laosi said seriously, "Little sister, I want to go."
If you don’t agree to such a good opportunity when it’s right in front of you, you’d be ungrateful.
"Then Fourth Brother, you should get ready. We will go to Second Sister's house tomorrow. I will return to the capital on the fourth day of the New Year. You should come with me then."
"Okay. I'll go find the restaurant owner this afternoon and tell him I'm quitting." Liu Laosi changed into thick clothes and went to town.
He also didn't expect that there would be a day when he would have to rely on his sister.
Wen Yan quietly nudged Ying Zhilin and winked at him: "You can tell me what we talked about on the road now."
Ying Zhilin gave her a look that said 'leave it to me' and said, "Mom and Dad, our clan is going to set up a clan school. I see that my three nephews are getting quite old, so why not send them to our clan school to study together?"
"Really... can we really be together?" Father Liu stood up excitedly.
The news that Songshan Village was going to set up a clan school had spread throughout the area, and many people wanted to send their children to study there.
They originally wanted to wait until the clan school was established before going to visit clan leader Ying to discuss it, but they didn't expect Ying Zhilin to take the initiative to bring it up.
Ying Zhilin said, "The clan school will invite students from Songshan Academy to teach, so it should be much better than other private schools for elementary education."
When the third sister-in-law heard Ying Zhilin mention three children, she rubbed her hands nervously and asked, "Can my daughter go to a private school too?"
"Of course. Our clan school doesn't distinguish between boys and girls, and my brothers and sisters will also attend classes. Then the five children can all keep each other company."
The third sister-in-law was so happy when she was sure that her daughter could also go to a private school to learn to read.
She wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Wen Yan.
After the important things were discussed, everyone relaxed and had fun.
As expected, my second sister did not come back.
After lunch, they gathered together to play cards.
After playing more than ten games, Ying Zhilin was the only one losing.
The third sister-in-law won a lot of money and teased him with a beaming face: "Brother-in-law is a first-rate student, but when it comes to playing cards for fun, you can't compare with us."
'Puchi...' Wen Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It's not that Ying Zhilin doesn't know how to play cards, it's clearly that Ying Zhilin is too good at playing cards. He calculates every step and lets everyone win just right, without any trace of letting the opponent win.
The third sister-in-law looked at her with round eyes: "What are you laughing at?"
Ying Zhilin quickly poked Wen Yan under the table, signaling her not to let the cat out of the bag.
Wen Yan suppressed a laugh and quickly shook his head, saying, "Even the invincible Jie Yuan Lang doesn't know something. Isn't this funny enough?"
The third sister-in-law stared at them suspiciously: "Your smile is too suspicious, are you two plotting something?
Could it be that you two are colluding and deliberately letting us win?"
Wen Yan: "How is that possible... It would be such a great sense of accomplishment to win against Jie Yuanlang!"
"Really there was no cooperation?"
"real."
"Okay, I'll trust you this time." The family played cards for the whole afternoon.
Soon it was time for dinner, and Ying Zhilin took the initiative to help with the cooking: "Mom and the sisters-in-law can continue to play with Yanyan, and leave dinner to me and my two brothers."
"That won't do. You're a scholar, and these hands are meant for turning pages with a pen. How can I let you use a knife to cut vegetables?"
"Exactly. Isn't there a saying that goes 'A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen'? How can I let you cook?"
Ying Zhilin explained with a smile: "This sentence advocates treating life with kindness, not that you can't cook."
The third sister-in-law scratched her head: "Is this what this sentence means? But Lu Tongsheng in the village often uses this word to talk about his wife!"
"That Lu Tongsheng must not want to work himself, and he bullies his wife because she has no education, so he uses this sentence to deceive her."
"So, that Lu Tongsheng is really bad!"
Ying Zhilin smiled and said, "So, let everyone have a taste of my cooking today."
Less than half an hour.
A table full of delicious food was served.
Ying Zhilin first picked up a chicken leg for Liu's father and Zhang Gan's mother: "Dad and mom, try my cooking."
Zhang Gan's mother took a bite with great anticipation, and her eyes lit up instantly: "Delicious! I didn't expect Zhilin to be such a good student and cook as well!"
The husband Yanyan married seems to be really good!
After a lively day, we stayed at Liu’s house tonight and will go to my second sister’s house together tomorrow.
At night, Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin stayed in the same room.
This room was specially decorated for her by the Liu family. Although the room is small, it is decorated very carefully and delicately.
In order to provide good lighting for the room, half of the window paper is made of shells.
At night, Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin slept on the same bed.
Although I also sleep in one bed at home.
But the bed at home is very big, and there is a quilt for each child, and the distance between them is enough for two Pei'ers to lie down.
It's no different from sleeping separately.
The Liu family is different.
Not only was the bed small, the quilt was also cramped.
After the two people lay down, their arms were pressed against each other's arms.
Wen Yan felt very awkward and moved to the side several times.
"Don't move." Ying Zhilin pressed her shoulders, "Don't move, I'll help you."
He leaned over and tucked in the quilt for her.
Ying Zhilin almost pressed down with his entire body.
The crisp scent of ink belonging to Ying Zhilin entered her nose. It was familiar, pleasant, and reassuring.
A scene suddenly appeared in my mind.
She lay on Ying Zhilin's chest and rubbed against him, saying that she liked the smell of him and inhaled hard on his neck.
This, this... this seems to be something that happened on New Year's Eve when someone was drunk.
So.
That night, I really slept with him in my arms and even flirted with him!
Wen Yan's face suddenly turned red.
Oh my god!
I feel like a female hooligan!
Fortunately, the lights were off and Ying Zhilin couldn't see her embarrassment.
After covering Wen Yan tightly, Ying Zhilin lay down beside her.
The two of them lay there for a while, and Ying Zhilin suddenly said, "Yanyan, can I put my feet next to yours?"
"Ah?!" Wen Yan tensed up instantly, "Is this... not good?"
