After finishing the business, Lin Yunchu went back to the house to pack his things. He would be staying at the Xie family for about ten days, so he had to bring a few sets of clothes to change into.
She had been tidying up for a while when Lin's mother pushed the door open and came in.
"Yun Chu, these are two pairs of shoes I made for my parents. You can take them with you."
After saying this, Lin's mother opened the small cloth bag in her hand, revealing two brand new pairs of cloth shoes that had just been made.
This was made with the leftover cloth from making clothes at home. Lin's mother also carefully added a few more layers of soles. She is good at sewing, and the shoe she made is beautiful and sturdy. It will definitely last for a long time.
The last time she went to the Xie family, she looked at the shoes worn by old man Xie and old lady Xie. The toes were worn out and the soles were worn out. She thought that the fabrics she had brought to the Xie family before were used to make clothes for everyone in the family.
They certainly couldn't bear to make a pair of shoes for themselves, so as soon as she had some free time after returning, Lin's mother made these shoes for them.
She is good at sewing. She made thick soles and was willing to spend a lot of money on the material. These shoes must be durable and warm.
Lin Yunchu took the two pairs of shoes with a smile, and looked at them again and again in his hands. He had to say that Lin's mother and Pan Xiuxiu were really good at sewing, with the stitches being fine and strong.
Now the clothes and shoes for the family members are made by the two of them, and they are no worse than the ready-made clothes sold in cloth shops outside.
Then he nodded to Lin's mother, put the shoes in his hand back into the bag he had packed, tied them up together, and waited to take them to Xie's house tomorrow.
Now Lin's mother was finally relieved and turned back to her room.
Within a day, the news that the Lin family sent Lin Chang'an to the school in the neighboring Lijia Village spread in the village. Many people were envious, some were jealous, and some were disdainful. Many people in the village gathered together to talk about it.
"It's obvious that the Lin family's kid isn't cut out for studying. The Lin family even spent so much money to send him to school, but what good is that? Humph!"
A man in coarse linen clothes said "Pah" at the ground with a look of disdain on his face.
"Of course not. The Lin family hasn't had a single scholar in generations. Studying requires talent. Otherwise, it would be very difficult."
There were hardly any educated people in the entire Qingxi Village. Now that they knew that the Lin family had actually sent Lin Changan to school, some people felt indescribable emotions.
Thinking back to the time when the Lin family was extremely poor, with insufficient food and clothing, they often had to rely on Lin Qingshan's family for support to barely get by. How long has it been since then?
The Lin family bought land and cows, and now they sent Lin Changan to school. Their lives are getting more and more prosperous.
"What's wrong with going to school? If your family has the ability, send your kid to school."
A woman walked out from the side. The more she listened to what these people said, the more irritating it became to her. When everyone heard the sound, they all looked back and only then could they see who was coming.
It turned out to be Zhuzi's mother, Lu.
The man who had just spoken was about to step forward to argue when he was grabbed by the person next to him. He was suddenly speechless, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He was so angry that he couldn't let out the anger in his chest.
The Lin family is now different in the village than before. At the beginning of this spring, the Lin family led twelve households in the village to plant potatoes together. Now even the head of the village looks up to the Lin family.
If they make a big deal out of it, they will probably end up in trouble. They might even be called in by the village head and scolded.
The Lin family could spend the money they earned however they wanted, so they were just a little bit jealous and said a few sour words. If this matter became public, the only one who would be despised by the villagers would be themselves.
Seeing that the person in front of her didn't dare to say a word, Mrs. Lu snorted coldly and then turned and left.
He was even more disdainful of those people who had just said those sarcastic words. These people didn't want to go to the fields to work, but were gossiping about the Lin family here. It was really unbearable.
Lin Changan often went to her house to play with Zhuzi. How could she not know Lin Changan's temperament? Although he was not very old, he was very sensible and often brought delicious food to Zhuzi.
She liked him very much and was also very smart. Before going to school, she came over and told Zhuzi that she could not come to play with him often in the future.
She also recited the Three Character Classic with Zhuzi, saying that she learned it from Lu Yanzhou. She thought that this child would have a great future, and those people were just jealous of the Lin family.
Besides, at the beginning of spring, the Lin family led the villagers to plant potatoes and gave them to every household for free. However, those people were suspicious and refused to trust the Lin family, fearing that their land would be wasted.
Her family also planted potatoes together with the Lin family. She went to check on her own field every now and then and found that the potatoes were growing very well. She also believed in the Lin family.
When the potatoes are harvested in a few days, if it is a bumper harvest, she will think of selling some potatoes to the Lin family, and using the money to buy some cloth for Zhuzi to make a new dress.
The Lin family was completely unaware of the discussions in the village. Early in the morning, Lin Yunchu followed the Lin family into the mountains. After returning at noon, he asked Lin Changting to drive the ox cart to take him to the Xie family.
Because they arrived in a hurry, the Lin family did not send any message to the Xie family in advance, so when the Xie family saw Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting coming, they were surprised and happy.
Everyone quickly welcomed the two in. Old Man Xie thought they were in a hurry because something urgent had happened in the Lin family. After the two drank a bowl of water and took a breath, he quickly asked them why they came.
"Grandpa, it's nothing serious. My eldest brother will be back soon."
Afterwards, Lin Yunchu mentioned that he would stay at the Xie family for a while and take them into the mountains to pick mushrooms. After hearing this, everyone in the Xie family breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, everyone thought something big had happened to the Lin family, but luckily nothing happened. Thinking about going into the mountains to pick mushrooms, everyone became excited again.
I heard Lin Yunchu say before that these mushrooms can be sold to restaurants in town and that you can make a lot of money. There are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains, but they don’t know which ones are edible and which ones are not, because no one in the village dares to go into the mountains and pick them up.
Lin Yunchu came here specially to take care of the Xie family's livelihood. Old man Xie said "OK, OK, OK" several times.
Then he instructed Li and Zhao to quickly clean up a room for Lin Yunchu to stay in.
Upon hearing this, the two of them quickly agreed and got up to clean up the house. They had just heard that Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting had followed them into the mountains in the morning and then rushed to Xie's house. They must be exhausted.
"No, no, aunt, auntie, there's no need to go to such trouble."
When Lin Yunchu saw the two of them getting up to clean up the room for him, he quickly stood up and waved his hands to refuse them. He turned around and explained to Old Man Xie, "Grandpa, it's not a bother. If my cousin doesn't mind, I can stay in the same room with her."
