Lin Wanyue timed her mealtime perfectly before going home with Liu Junlan.
After arriving home, he didn't go straight in. Instead, he tiptoed into the main room and peeked inside.
"Sigh..." Seeing his third and fourth brothers slumped on the table, looking dejected, he said weakly, "This Teacher Cui is too fierce. How can he assign so much homework?"
"The Master is very knowledgeable. He is strict because he is afraid that you will fall behind in your studies. Alas, it is a pity that humans and ghosts are separated and cannot always be by the Master's side to learn." The eldest brother, Lin Zhongyuan, felt that the time for learning was too short.
A faint, ghostly aura drifted up behind Lin Wanyue: "What are you looking at? Are you hiding and refusing to study?"
Lin Wanyue was startled.
I hurriedly turned my head to look, and thankfully it was a little pink butterfly with pink hair.
Lin Wanyue patted her chest with her chubby little hands, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "You almost scared me to death!"
"Hehe." Little Pink Butterfly smiled with her eyes crinkling, and said seductively, "That guy surnamed Cui is so old-fashioned and pedantic. I think you should get rid of him as soon as possible, lest he corrupt your brothers."
Before Lin Wanyue could say anything, her father, Lin Weiming, returned from outside. Finding her sneaking around outside, he reached out and picked her up.
What are you doing here?
"Father..." Lin Wanyue pushed his face away unhappily.
Lin Weiming left home early this morning to find a carpenter to make furniture, doors and windows. After walking for most of the day, he was soaked in sweat and didn't smell very good.
Seeing his daughter's resistance, Lin Weiming became even more interested and insisted on kissing her.
"You're covered in sweat, hurry up and wash yourself!" Xuefu, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the noise and brought over a plate of food, while pinching Lin Weiming's ear with her other hand.
Lin Weiming quickly begged for forgiveness, "I was just happy to see my daughter!"
"Now that you've seen your daughter, you should go and wash her clean! She's all sweaty and has made Wanwan smell bad." Xuefu glared at her.
"oh……"
Lin Weiming had no choice but to put the person down. He didn't even get a sip of water before he had to take a shower.
…
During the meal, Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu shoveled rice into their mouths like two starving ghosts.
"Wow." Lin Zheyun looked on in surprise. "You two ate more than I did. You only read some books this morning. Are you that tired?"
"Of course!" Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu answered in unison.
The two complained, "Second brother, you have no idea! Master Cui not only made us practice calligraphy, but also made us memorize poems. We had to memorize them within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
"How could we possibly memorize a poem in such a short time! My third brother and I were about to explode, and he noticed if we weren't paying attention."
The two of them spoke so pitifully that Lin Zheyun and Lin Wanyue looked at each other, both feeling fortunate that they had run away quickly enough.
"Nonsense!" Lin Zhongyuan stood up for Master Cui and said, "It's just that you two are too far behind in your progress. Your handwriting is so ugly and has no structure at all, which is why I'm strict with you."
"By the way, Wanwan." After saying that, he turned to Lin Wanyue and asked, "Do you have any larger spirit incense sticks? We only studied for an hour this morning before the teacher disappeared... Could you get me a few more?"
Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu stared longingly at Lin Wanyue, shaking their heads desperately.
They certainly don't want to suffer such torture again.
"Big brother, learning should be done step by step. Don't eat too fast, or you'll get full." Although her older brother was eager to learn, Lin Wanyue still hesitated before saying this.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Zhongyuan's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Alright then."
"Here you go." However, Lin Wanyue still took out several fragrant pills and handed them to Lin Zhongyuan, telling him, "Just take three a day, no more."
Lin Zhongyuan's eyes lit up again, and he put the fragrant pill into his pocket as if he had found a treasure.
...
"I found carpenters in a neighboring county this time. They're a master and apprentice, and I saw that the furniture they make is very sturdy. I came back today, and they'll arrive tomorrow. Before long, our family will be able to move into our new house," Lin Weiming said, his voice filled with excitement as he talked about the new house.
The others were also very excited.
"Father, could you ask them to make me a desk?" No one but Lin Zhongyuan could be so eager to learn.
Lin Zheyun also shouted, "Dad, I want a target!"
"What do you need a target for? Just shoot a few arrows at the tree, isn't that enough? It's a waste of money." Lin Weiming rejected Lin Zheyun's request without even thinking.
"...That's true."
Fortunately, Lin Zheyun wasn't upset about being rejected, and went off to grab food from her two younger brothers.
"Of course you need desks, and each of you brothers will have one!" Although Lin Weiming didn't think all four of his sons would amount to anything, as a father, he still had to do what he could for them.
Whether they can learn it or not is their business.
Lin Weiming excitedly told Lin Wanyue, "I had them make you a bed, it's so beautiful!"
"Thank you, Daddy~" This time, Lin Wanyue didn't mind that Lin Weiming had already washed up, and hugged him and kissed him several times.
After finishing her meal, Lin Wanyue was stopped by Master Cui.
Master Cui took out two packs of cigarettes from his sleeve, one of which had already been torn apart and was haphazardly stuffed back in.
"?" Lin Wanyue didn't understand what he meant and blinked.
