"Yamada Village, here I come, la la la!"
Lin Shiyu shouted loudly, startling Lin Shiyi who was pulling weeds and reciting lessons outside the yard.
So, one more person joined the three-person picking team.
"Is that the little doctor?"
The sight of the four of them sticking their butts out trying to find herbs was really eye-catching, especially now that they were not buying herbs. Except in the fields and vegetable gardens, you couldn't see people sticking their butts out outside.
Just because of their special appearance, the villagers looked at them a few more times and Lin Shiyu and her group were recognized.
“It’s her!”
"It's really her."
After everyone's observation, it was officially confirmed that the man was the village doctor.
“Ah~”
A man in the crowd suddenly held his head and shouted, which scared the villagers standing next to him and they instinctively gave him a big slap.
"Hey, what are you yelling about?! You scared me to death."
The man covered his face, which had been hit, and said in a slurred and frustrated voice, "The young master has come out to collect herbs on her own. Does that mean her family really doesn't buy herbs anymore?"
After the Lin family purchased the herbs, Doctor Lin rarely went out to collect them.
When the others heard this, they thought, oh no, there are a few more frustrated people.
"It seems to be true..."
Someone murmured to himself, and he didn't even have the motivation to go find Lin Shiyu and the village chief to confirm.
Doctor Lin had been hiding from them for so long, obviously because he didn't want them to ask any further questions, so they went to the village chief to act as a lobbyist.
Who knew that after the village chief went to the Lin family, he also learned to avoid them like Doctor Lin did.
"No wonder the village chief refused to see us!" One of the villagers suddenly realized, then walked away dejectedly.
The others then dispersed.
Their lives were just beginning to look promising, and they were hoping to earn more money so they could get a few more pounds of meat for their children at the end of the year. Unexpectedly...
Everything is gone.
It’s all those people’s fault. If they weren’t so ungrateful, why would the young doctor be so angry?
Resentment began to grow in their hearts at this moment.
…
"What have you two been whispering about all the way here? It's endless."
It only took Xiaopang half an hour from setting out excitedly to becoming bored.
It’s not his fault. It’s because the other three people are busy with their own things and he doesn’t feel involved at all.
Sister Shiyu was willing to take him with her, but he felt dizzy after hearing what she said about the herbs, so he decided to stay away from her.
The other two people paid attention to him.
It's just the kind of attitude where he asks a question and the other person answers it.
Xiaopang wants to go crazy. We are all friends of similar age, so can't he learn from him and be lazy and have fun when he goes out?
No one is as hard-working as a log. Never mind the idea of doing things meticulously. Making money is important, after all, right?!
but……
Why not take some time to sort him out during your free time?
What's wrong?
ha?
One by one, they were muttering something he couldn't understand, as if they were possessed by ghosts.
"Ah? Ah!" Lin Shiyi was the first to come back to her senses: "What happened?"
She felt baffled by Xiaopang's furious look.
"What have you two been chanting about? You're talking like fortune tellers." Fatty pointed at Lin Shiyi and Tian Ge'er.
"You're just like a fortune teller. Humph, we're just memorizing."
Lin Shiyi rolled her eyes. She hated fortune-tellers the most. Not only had the fortune-teller caused their family to owe a lot of money, but she had also caused her brother to suffer a lot. Just thinking about these two words filled her with hatred.
"Endorsement?" Xiaopang's eyes lit up.
He completely ignored Lin Shiyi's expression and circled around her enthusiastically, looking her over: "Have you all started to learn to read now? How many words do you know?"
Xiaopang also knows how to read.
I know quite a lot of them (*?′╰╯`?)?.
He knew as much as his grandfather knew. Not only him, but everyone in his family knew how to read.
These characters are "inherited from ancestors". No one knows which generation of ancestors knew them, but they were taught by one generation after another, and then all the descendants knew them.
Lin Shiyi was startled by him and took a step back: "I don't know much, I'm just starting to learn."
"Not much, so how much is it?" Xiaopang continued to ask: "Tell me, Sister Shiyi."
The two are from the same clan, so it's not excessive to call her sister.
Lin Shiyi was disgusted by his tone and got goose bumps on her hands.
She looked at her cousin behind her and saw that she had no objection. In addition, she wanted Lin Shiyu to check whether she had made any mistakes in her recitation, so she began to recite the book aloud.
"That's all I know for now. I haven't learned the others yet."
She was reciting the "Three Character Classic" that she had just learned. Lin Shiyu used the content of this book as an enlightenment for her and Tian Ge'er.
After hearing this, Xiaopang was devastated.
The words that Lin Shiyi memorized were many times more than the words he knew.
"Oh, in addition to these, we also learned numbers and simple calculations." After thinking for a while, Lin Shiyu added.
The blow came even harder.
Back then, An Ru was the most educated person in the village, followed by Boyu, and his family ranked third.
It’s not that he hasn’t thought about studying with Lin Boyu, but whenever they go out together, he only thinks about having fun.
Besides, Boyu never talked about reading and writing in front of them.
Lin Boyu: …
I am the only one studying in the group. When I talk in front of you, am I hurting your heart or mine?
Starting today, Yamada Village's cultural ranking has changed.
"What about you? Do you know that many words too? As many as she does?" Xiaopang turned his gaze to Tian Ge'er.
This kid has only been in the village for a short time. It’s impossible that he has learned as many characters as Sister Shiyi!
Tian Ge'er shook his head repeatedly: "No, no."
Xiaopang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, there is someone here who is worse than him. Hahahaha.
Although he didn't know why, Xiaopang just didn't want to be the worst one among his companions.
"I know more characters than my cousin Shiyi." Tian Ge'er touched his nose embarrassedly.
They were locked up at home for half a month, and Lin Shiyi didn't come back during that time. He learned a lot more than her, especially the arithmetic that his father taught him. He studied very diligently and made good progress.
Xiaopang inhaled.
Xiaopang exhaled.
Xiaopang inhaled.
Fatty...
Xiaopang felt very disappointed. He said he wanted to go home for dinner, said goodbye to his friends, and left in a hurry.
"What's wrong with him?" Lin Shiyi asked worriedly, looking at Xiaopang's back. He seemed a little abnormal just now.
Lin Shiyu said calmly: "It's okay, he just needs to grow up."
I just don’t know which direction the child will grow in, I hope it’s in a good direction!
