Chapter 98
98
When Liu Ya heard that Shen Yuntang was going to teach Lin Yu how to write and keep accounts, he also applied to join.
Although he is now making sausages, he feels that these numbers are unique to his family and outsiders cannot recognize them. It is too mysterious and interesting, and he also wants to learn it.
"This can become our family's secret code in the future. Let my sister and Tugen Maimiao come and learn it!" Liuya suggested.
Shen Yuntang thought that they would all follow him in the future. Now he was short of manpower, so they could only do some manual work. When the business got bigger, he could hire others to do the manual work. As they were in the management, they should indeed learn to write.
Moreover, it is convenient to write simplified Chinese characters and Arabic numerals, but it is not easy for outsiders to understand Arabic numerals, and there are some things that outsiders cannot decipher even after seeing them.
Yuanbao also came to apply to join. Although he could write, he felt that this accounting method was too convenient. Normally, he had a headache when doing accounting because each word was so complicated and it took him half a day to write.
So they had a meeting in the morning to praise each other, and then they had a small class after dinner.
Everyone was given a pencil and paper, and they all buried their heads in their studies without needing to be urged.
Lin Yu learned the fastest because he had to help Shen Yuntang sell sausages. He was most afraid of seeing other people's disappointed eyes, so every day Cheng Yeran taught him a few words, and he forced himself to memorize them that night.
He has a quick memory and can remember the pronunciation and writing method after writing it a few times. He can not only recognize and read it, but also write it.
Shen Yuntang admired him. He had to learn pinyin to help him and started from simple characters, but Lin Yu started directly from people's names and did not learn pinyin. He just remembered it this way.
Shen Yuntang couldn't help but praise him, "If you were a man, you would definitely be able to get the top score in the exam."
Lin Yu couldn't help scratching his head shyly. He was now accustomed to being praised by others. He would not be at a loss when hearing praises, but he would be shy.
And now he has the same idea as boys and girls. We are all human beings, so why can men enter the court and serve as officials, but girls and boys are not allowed?
He couldn't figure it out and no one could answer him, and this became the most distressing thing in his heart.
In the evening, when he was chatting with Liu Ya, he said to her, "When I lived in the village before, my family said that I was not as good as boys since I was born. I was stupid, couldn't read, couldn't recognize words, and was timid. But after I came out, I met you. You are also brave and smarter than many boys. Now that I have learned to write, I find that writing is not that difficult. Have my parents been lying to me? In fact, I am not that stupid."
Liu Ya got angry when she mentioned this, "Not only are our parents deceiving us, but the whole world is deceiving boys and girls. No, it's the men who are deceiving boys and girls. They are too self-abased and know that they can't compare to boys and girls, so they stop them from studying and making progress."
When Liu Ya starts scolding a man, she can do so until late at night.
Lin Yu was writing beside Liu Ya while listening to her cursing. He felt terrified at first, but now he feels relieved.
He hadn't thought about Zhao Yanlin for a long time. In the past, his mind was filled with endless work and Zhao Yanlin every day.
In the past, there was only Zhao Yanlin in his world. Everyone told him that he lived for Zhao Yanlin and he could not survive without Zhao Yanlin.
He thought it was true, but after coming here, except for occasionally thinking of Zhao Yanlin in the first few nights, his time and energy were occupied by embroidery, painting and writing.
When he received guests during the day, he forced himself to talk to people. He was scared before each speech and felt relieved after he finished speaking, but at least he didn't stutter anymore.
On this day, Yang Shiming came to paint the summer limited edition, and Zhao Yanlin also came with him. When Lin Yu saw Zhao Yanlin, he suddenly remembered that his family asked him to come to the county town so that he could take care of Zhao Yanlin.
If he hadn't seen Zhao Yanlin today, he would have forgotten about this, but Zhao Yanlin probably didn't want him to take care of her.
Zhao Yanlin didn't want to come over originally. What was so good about Lin Yu? He would rather see Yuan Bao than that ugly monster in his own family who was not worthy of being shown on the stage.
Yang Shiming said that Lin Yu had been in the county town for such a long time, but he didn't go to see him. It was a bit unreasonable. Even if he was just an ordinary relative and he brought him to the county town, he should go to see him, not to mention that he was his closest person.
Zhao Yanlin felt aggrieved. Why did everyone have to interfere in their family affairs? But he didn't want to quarrel with them over this matter.
Next year he will go to Beijing with Yang Shiming to take the exam. The two of them will have someone to look after each other on the way. If Yang Shiming is made unhappy, it will be bad if he is not taken with him.
Although Zhao Yanlin was a good student, he was an idiot in life and always asked Yang Shiming for help in both big and small matters.
It wasn't for nothing that Cheng Yeran said that Zhao Yanlin was a giant baby. He had seen Yang Shiming taking care of Zhao Yanlin like a child several times.
Cheng Yeran sincerely hopes that Yang Shiming will pass the exam next year. After becoming an official, he can take Yang's mother to his home to take care of her, and he won't have to owe the Zhao family any favors.
The Zhao family only visits Yang's mother occasionally, but Yang Shiming has to take care of this giant baby of the Zhao family all the time.
I didn't think it was a big deal before, after all, there's no need to care about who paid more between friends. Later, after discovering that Zhao Yanlin had character issues, Cheng Yeran no longer considered him a friend, and started to feel calculative.
Zhao Yanlin hesitated before going out, and even wanted to pretend to have a stomachache and not go. In the end, he was afraid that they would think he was being too deliberate, or maybe he felt guilty, so he finally followed them.
When he arrived at Cheng Yeran's house, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a man talking to Lin Yu. Lin Yu no longer lowered his head, although he was still hunched over, but he could see the other person's face.
He clearly remembered that face was covered with pimples. The last time he saw Lin Yu, he almost vomited because of nausea. This time, he found it much more pleasing to the eye.
But why was he talking to a man? He felt angry. Why did he raise his head when talking to other men, but lower his head when talking to himself?
He walked over to listen to what they were talking about, and found out that they were selling sausages, and they didn't stutter anymore.
In the past, he hated the way Lin Yu was timid and afraid to talk to others, and he was also annoyed by the fact that he was a stutterer. He didn't expect that he was not a stutterer.
After the man finished buying sausages and left, Lin Yu finally had the energy to turn around and look at Zhao Yanlin, "Why are you here?"
He was still a little afraid of Zhao Yanlin. He had always been scolded by him before, so he was subconsciously afraid when he saw him.
"Didn't you come here to embroider? Why are you selling sausages?" Zhao Yanlin asked him.
"I also embroider, but Brother Shen has been busy with other things recently." Lin Yu used to call Shen Yuntang the boss.
Shen Yuntang felt uncomfortable hearing this. It was fine if others called him like that outside, but it was awkward to hear this name at home. Moreover, Lin Yu's identity was different from those hired people. After all, he was the husband of Cheng Yeran's classmate.
So Shen Yuntang asked him his age and found out that he was eighteen and Shen Yuntang was nineteen, so Shen Yuntang asked him to call him brother like his cousins.
Lin Yu added a surname in front of the name, and from then on he called Shen Yuntang Brother Chen.
"Can you sell it? He is so careless that he actually entrusted such an important matter to you?" Zhao Yanlin glanced at the account book on the table, but before he could see anything, Lin Yu quickly put it away. He felt even more unhappy.
Lin Yu was afraid that Zhao Yanlin would see the words he wrote and mock him, so he quickly put them away. Zhao Yanlin thought he was on guard against him.
Although other people's business accounts should be kept secret from outsiders, Lin Yu is his husband and should stand on his side. Why is he helping outsiders to guard against him? So what if he saw it? His family doesn't run a business, so how could he do something that would be detrimental to his family?
When Lin Yu heard him belittle himself, he subconsciously panicked and didn't dare to talk back.
Later, I heard Zhao Yanlin say, "You can keep accounts? Don't you know how to write?"
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen taught me." Lin Yu explained carefully.
"He taught you? With your brain, can you calculate it correctly? Don't make it a mess for people." Zhao Yanlin didn't understand. Not only Cheng Yeran and Yang Shiming treated Lin Yu better and favored Lin Yu, but why did even Shen Yuntang trust Lin Yu so much? Why did he entrust such an important task to Lin Yu?
"No, I didn't make a mistake." Lin Yu was unwilling to accept it and finally developed a bit of resistance, but it only lasted for a moment before he was scared.
mutter
Want to escape.
He had been belittled by Zhao Yanlin for two years, and that fear was buried deep in his bones. It was like Shen Yuntang knew that there was nothing to be afraid of Xia Xiaowu, but he was still instinctively afraid when he saw Xia Xiaowu, as if it was engraved into his bones, and it was difficult to eliminate this feeling.
"Don't make things difficult for him anymore. We are open for business. You standing here is disturbing us." Liu Ya heard that the annoying man came again. She was afraid that he would make things difficult for Lin Yu, so she immediately ran over to protect Lin Yu.
If hitting someone wasn't against the law, he really wanted to slap Zhao Yanlin twice.
Zhao Yanlin hated brothers who were not good at talking, and he also hated brothers who were good at talking. He also did not have a good impression of Liu Ya, but he was Cheng Yeran's cousin after all, so he did not conflict with him. Instead, he went to find Yang Shiming to watch him paint.
After Zhao Yanlin left, Liu Ya hugged his shoulders and patted him, "If he says this kind of thing again in the future, you should quarrel with him and scold him back. Let him know that you are not easy to mess with, and he will not dare to scold you again."
"How can I scold my husband?" Lin Yu sighed, "Everyone will condemn me for doing something wrong."
Liu Ya thought of the practical problems again. The elders always advised boys to be docile and let men make the decision. Moreover, Lin Yu's small body made Zhao Yanlin angry. What would he do if he got beaten?
"Otherwise, next time he says something, just treat it as if he's farting. Otherwise, next time he talks, plug your ears with two balls of cotton so you won't be upset if you can't hear anything." Liu Ya thought that they both had a day off tomorrow, "How about we go buy some cotton tomorrow?"
Lin Yu nodded, thinking that this was a solution. It was fine to live in Shen's house now. He couldn't hear Zhao Yanlin's voice and didn't have to worry. After the New Year, they would go home together and stay together for a month. He didn't dare to think about how he would get through that month.
Before coming here to work, he had traveled across mountains and rivers to come to the county town, just to meet Zhao Yanlin and talk to his husband. He didn't care even if his husband scolded him, as he was happy in his heart.
He couldn't have imagined that in just over a month, he went from looking forward to meeting Zhao Yanlin to being tired of meeting Zhao Yanlin.
