If in the future, Su Tiantian no longer wishes to acknowledge him as her master, then this master-disciple relationship will end there.
He had no regrets.
After Lin Ping finished speaking, he respectfully kowtowed to heaven and earth and to the ancestral master.
Su Tiantian was about to kneel down and kowtow along with him, but she found that she couldn't kneel down.
A force steadily supported her knees, gentle yet powerful, determined not to let her kneel.
Lin the Blind Man sensed it, smiled, helped Su Tiantian up, patted her knee, and said in a doting tone, "No need to kneel. Being able to be your master is a great bargain for me. Just pour me a glass of wine."
Even Blind Lin was curious about Su Tiantian's fate, wondering why she was so expensive.
To be honest, he didn't even know Su Tiantian's birth date and time. Judging from the situation, he'd better not ask, lest he get too emotional.
After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Blind Lin excitedly led Su Tiantian to sit down and eat.
During the meal, Su Tiantian served food to Blind Lin, who was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
"Big sister, when are you and Tiantian planning to go back to your hometown? I'll pack up and go with you so that everyone in the family can meet me. Then I'll bring Tiantian back with me. She's three years old this year, so there's no rush for her to start school. In the few years she's in elementary school, she can learn from me first. It's also close to Xiaoluo here, so she can come and see the child on weekends."
Lin the Blind smiled and turned to Liu Xiaohua's direction to ask.
Liu Xiaohua also said with a smile, "My filming will be finished in a few days, probably five or six days. Once it's finished, we can go back to our hometown."
Now that we're all family, I suddenly feel much closer to her. That "elder sister" makes me feel like we're real siblings.
"My family doesn't know I'm filming. Don't let it slip when you go back. I don't want to tell them yet. I'm just waiting for them to see me on TV."
Liu Xiaohua gave another word of advice, then smiled a little shyly.
Blind Lin nodded: "Okay, I'm the most discreet person."
Through these past few days of observation, Lin the Blind Man learned that the Su family made their living by fishing, and their business was now quite large.
He had a feeling that he would get along well with the Su family because he knew they had good family relationships.
"Mom, who knows, you might become a big star someday."
Su Luo looked at Liu Xiaohua with a smile, but this was not a joke.
Instead, Liu Xiaohua became radiant when she talked about filming, as if she were seeing herself a few years ago when she was studying medicine with Dai Ping'an.
Acting is her mother's passion, and as her daughter, she wants to encourage her to pursue her dream.
"Liu Meizi, could you please give us a few autographed photos later? We'd like to keep them as treasures."
Lu Xuelian said with a smile.
Liu Xiaohua blushed: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. I'm just taking pictures for a few days for fun, like kids playing house..."
There's no way they could be associated with a big star.
A big star has to be someone like Lu Chen—talented and handsome.
I'm so old and still illiterate, I'll never become a big star.
"You're too modest. Anyway, I'm optimistic about you."
Lu Xuelian smiled gently. When a person does what they love, they shine. Although Liu Xiaohua was a little shy, her burning gaze did not lie.
"Give me an autographed photo too. Maybe my little temple will become more lively in the future, and people who come here will know that my temple is small but powerful."
Lin the Blind doesn't understand acting, but that doesn't stop him from keeping up with the times. He doesn't care about other celebrities, but he does care about his own.
"Mom, I want an autographed photo too!"
"Grandma, I want one too."
Su Luo acted coquettishly, and Su Tiantian joined in the teasing.
Liu Xiaohua was so happy she couldn't stop smiling, and nodded happily but modestly: "Okay, okay, if I become famous, I'll have it all."
Regardless of whether she's famous or not, she's genuinely happy.
We returned to the city the next day.
Su Tiantian was still a little reluctant to part with it.
Lin the Blind Man and Black Dog and Black Rice escorted him all the way to the foot of the mountain. He waved and said, "Once I'm settled here, I'll come too. Then we can go back to our hometown together."
This trip will take at least half a month, so we need to make sure things are settled at home first.
Since Su Tiantian would be living with him from now on, he couldn't be as careless as before.
He can be oblivious to his blindness when he's alone, but he can't care about his child.
So we had to hire a villager to cook, do laundry, and clean the yard so that the children could eat clean meals every day.
"Woof woof woof—"
[Little master, when will you come again? Black Rice will miss you...]
Black Rice let out a whimper from its nasal cavity to express its reluctance to part.
"Good boy/girl, I'll be back soon. Take good care of the house."
Su Tiantian used her hands to make a megaphone shape and shouted to Heimi.
When Black Rice heard Su Tiantian's voice, it wagged its tail excitedly and jumped up and down in response.
"Woof woof woof—"
Don't worry, little master, I will definitely take good care of the house.
As the car drove away, Blind Lin and the black dog gradually became small dots, and after turning a corner, they were completely out of sight.
After Lin the Blind Man could no longer see the car, he patted the black dog and grinned, saying, "I really got a great deal. That bastard Liu Yuan still wants to compete with me? He'll never get a chance. Let's go, let's go back and call that guy to brag about it, and also urge him to hurry up. The little guy's grandfather still has some treasures in their hands."
"If you dare to cheat even one person, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
Blind Lin carried a stick and tapped and banged his way back up the mountain.
Black Rice barked and followed, as if responding to his words.
...
Su Tiantian fell asleep nestled in Su Luo's arms.
Liu Xiaohua and Lu Chen were talking about filming.
Liu Xiaohua listened to Su Luo quietly, like a primary school student listening to a teacher's lecture, with a gentle smile always on her face.
Zhao Zhiyuan and Lu Xuelian were in the same car.
"Old Zhao, have you noticed that Tian Tian takes her mother's surname? Su Luo is studying medicine, and we don't know what Tian Tian's father does."
Lu Xuelian shared her doubts with Zhao Zhiyuan.
Zhao Zhiyuan glanced at Lu Xuelian and smiled faintly, saying, "Perhaps we'll find out in the future."
Perhaps Lu Chen already knew; Zhao Zhiyuan had inadvertently noticed a hint of heartache in Lu Chen's eyes when he looked at Su Tiantian.
"You're right."
Lu Xuelian smiled; she only hoped that fate would bring them together.
If only I could really be Su Tiantian's grandmother.
Lu Chen took Su Luo back to school.
Su Tiantian waved to her through the car window: "Goodbye, Mom."
Su Luo smiled gently, completely oblivious to the shocked expressions on the faces of many around her. She waved and said, "Goodbye, my darling."
Lu Chen and Su Luo nodded to each other before driving away.
Su Luo stood there watching the car drive away until it was out of sight.
Students immediately gathered around to ask questions.
"Su, you're married now? And you have such a big daughter??"
Su Luo was a popular figure at school; many people knew her, and many pursued her. Seeing this scene today was shocking to everyone.
