Looking at Yun Lin, Li Qiu felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. After all, after so many years, it was impossible for him to take that small episode in his life to heart.
"Have it?"
Yunlin was stunned by his question. He really couldn't remember it. His impression of Li Qiu had been completely wiped out. Then he felt a little uneasy. Will his answer affect his grandson's future?
School entrance examination?
Li Qiu frowned slightly, searched for memories, slowly relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "Yes, we did meet, a few years ago, maybe three or four years ago. When you came to my store, I bought it from you.
How many pounds of honey, right?”
"Ah...that's what happened. It turns out...it's you!"
After his reminder, Yunlin remembered it. After all, he had sold maltose once in the past few years, and because of that sugar selling experience, his family had moved into a new house and had money to buy cattle.
After recognizing Li Qiu, Yunlin's uneasy heart calmed down a little. He remembered that Li Qiu was very talkative. In this way, his grandson's next school entrance examination should not be so harsh, right?
After all, what Yun Lin is thinking about most is about his grandson's future...
"Haha, you are really an old man. I never thought that we would meet again if we were destined to meet each other. The honey I bought from you made my descendants happy for a long time. I originally thought about whether there would be a chance to buy it from you.
I bought honey again, but it’s a pity that you never showed up again. It’s also true that honey is such a hard-to-find thing, how can you get it often?” Li Qiu stroked his beard and smiled.
Yunlin was not good at lying. He was selling maltose instead of honey, so he blushed a little when he heard Li Qiu's words. Being not good at words, he could only say awkwardly: "I was lucky that time, I was lucky..."
Maltose was too profitable, and the Yunjing family was cautious after the first time and never sold it again. At this moment, Yunlin thought that if his grandson could succeed in becoming a disciple, he would find an opportunity to get some maltose and give it to Mr. Li.
It will only be given to you if you succeed in becoming a disciple, well, that’s how realistic it is...
Zhang Changgui, who was standing by as a foil, was moved when he heard this. He glanced at them unexpectedly and thought that with this relationship, Yunjing's chances of becoming a disciple might be a little greater, even if that was not necessary.
"It's indeed luck. You should know that this honey is rarely sold in the town all year round. You can't even buy it if you want to." Li Qiu shook his head and said, not paying attention to Yun Lin's blushing. He just thought he was being cautious, and then asked: "
How have you been doing these past few years?"
"It's not bad. Thanks to Mr. Li, with the money I got from selling sugar, my family built a new house and bought a cow. By the way, Xiaojing even got engaged." Perhaps it was because Li Qiu was easy to talk to, Yun said.
Lin became talkative at this time, still a little reserved, but much more natural.
After listening carefully, Li Qiu smiled and said: "That's good, that's good. If every farmer can live in a new house like this and have cattle for farming, then it will really be a prosperous age!"
Even so, Li Qiu knew that it was just a dream. This dynasty has worked hard to govern, but the common people are still struggling to survive on the line of food and clothing. Heavy snowfalls, droughts, freezes and starvation are common. Every house in the new house has cattle.
The prosperous age can really only exist in dreams.
"Maybe one day," Yun Lin murmured, not that he was talking in his sleep, but that he had seen the changes in Xiaoxi Village in the past few years, and the days were getting better day by day. If this continued, he felt that Li
The situation Qiu mentioned might actually come one day in the future.
Li Qiu couldn't take it seriously. He only took it as a joke and didn't care. He started to have a family affair with Yun Lin...
Yunjing's senses were very keen. He noticed that although Li Qiu was chatting with his grandfather, he would occasionally glance at him, whether intentionally or not.
"Does the so-called school examination actually start when you enter the school?" At this time, Yunjing thought to himself.
He was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was wondering if he had done anything wrong. After thinking about it, Yunjing stopped worrying about this. He is himself, and just be yourself. Indeed, this time the matter is largely related to
At present, my future direction is not up to my own control, but everyone has his own way of living. If he has to deliberately show his favor to Li Qiu, he cannot do it. It is not that Yun Jing is arrogant.
If you are unwilling to bow to life, in fact, this time you will not really be able to determine your future destiny.
After thinking about this, Yunjing calmed down and calmly faced Li Qiu's constant gaze.
Then Yunjing, who has keen senses, noticed that when his grandfather said that he was engaged, Li Qiu's eyes flashed and his brows wrinkled imperceptibly!
I am engaged, and scholars often pay attention to a well-matched person. If I become a scholar in the future, my current marriage may affect my future future, so is the score in his mind lowered?
Noticing the change in Li Qiu's expression, Yun Jing made a guess in his mind.
Despite this speculation, Yun Jing did not take it to heart. It was still the same saying, whether it succeeds or fails, I will gain or lose my life, so I will try my best.
In this delicate atmosphere, the servants of the Li family brought the meals one after another. There were a dozen dishes in total, including hot and cold meat and vegetable desserts, soups, melons and fruits, and staple food.
The food on the table was all ordinary food. Although it was not delicacies, it was still delicious and delicious. Yun Lin and the others secretly swallowed their saliva as they looked at it.
They are usually satisfied with a full meal. Where have they seen such a luxurious meal?
When the food was all served, Li Qiu stopped talking and extended his hand to say: "Please, everyone, I just have a simple meal. I hope you don't mind."
Although Li Qiu had already invited him to have dinner, Yunlin and others looked at the food on the table and didn't know what to do. They usually couldn't even imagine such a life.
None of the elders moved their chopsticks. Yunjing naturally sat obediently and didn't move. It's not that he deliberately pretended to be obedient, but this is the basic etiquette of being a human being and respect for the elders. Maybe many people will find it boring and eat whatever they want.
Well, why do so many things happen? Your elders can blame you. But if you integrate this kind of respect for your elders into daily details, there will usually be nothing, but at some critical moments, people can feel you as a person.
of cultivation.
Don't underestimate these details. Many times, it is often the inadvertent details that can determine the outcome of many major events.
"As guests please, don't be restrained. You can eat as much as you want. If you don't have enough, you can add more." Seeing that they didn't move their chopsticks, Li Qiu invited them again.
Then Yun Lin and others started to eat hesitantly, with such cautious looks. No matter how casual Li Qiu said, they still couldn't let go.
They moved, and Yunjing picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
From the beginning to the end, apart from Yunlin saying that Yunjing was engaged, there was no other expression on Li Qiu's face, which made it impossible for Yunjing to clearly judge whether the so-called school examination had already begun.
Li Qiu was very talkative before the meal started, but after moving his chopsticks, he remained silent.
He may have gotten used to it, but Yun Lin and the others were very uncomfortable and moved cautiously, fearing that something would go wrong.
In short, they ended up eating a table full of delicious food...
Yunjing is the one who eats the most delicious food. Poor God, although this meal in the Li family is not as good as some small restaurants in his previous life, it is the best meal he has eaten in the past few years since he came to this life. The food is even dry.
I had two big bowls and ended up feeling a bit full.
I don't know if it's because Yun Jing is the only one who can let go, but anyway, when Li Qiu saw him rubbing his belly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
From his expression, Yunjing could vaguely feel that he seemed to be remembering something, and the look in his eyes was a bit like looking at a junior.
Yunjing didn't think that he had a good impression of him because of his expression, but he roughly understood that given his family's family tradition, he probably hadn't experienced such a casual behavior in front of him for a long time.
After the meal, servants came to take away the dishes and even the table.
After rearranging the seats, Li Qiu sat on the chair at the front, took a sip of tea, nodded to Yun Lin and the others, then looked at Yun Jing and said with a smile: "In our chat earlier, I heard your grandfather say, you
It’s called Yunjing, right?”
Thinking that the real drama was coming, Yunjing looked at him and nodded: "Yeah."
"Don't be cautious and afraid, just treat it as your own home and let's chat casually," Li Qiu comforted Yun Jing with a smile.
Although he had never thought about accepting a disciple at all, and the hospitality of a meal was enough, he still had to go through the process. Then he asked Yunjing: "Brother Changgui came to my door a few days ago and recommended that you want to become a disciple."
I am a teacher, can this happen?"
At this time, Yun Lin and the others were watching nervously, not daring to express their anger, let alone say anything to disturb them.
Li Qiu still wanted to ask about something that was obvious. Yunjing didn't care whether he had any deep meaning or not, but still calmly faced his gaze and nodded: "Yes."
"Little guy, it's not easy to become my teacher. You have to accept my exam and pass the exam. Are you confident?" Li Qiu said with a smile.
Yunjing did not answer immediately. He thought for a while and did not answer directly, but said seriously: "I heard from grandpa and others that many people want to become your teacher, but they have not succeeded. Sir, he asked me if I have confidence. I
Naturally, I don’t dare to be arrogant.”
"Did you say these words yourself, or were they taught to you by others?" Li Qiu looked at Yunjing with some surprise and asked. He himself teaches students and has seen a lot. A baby as big as Yunjing can be said to be
You can't say anything like this.
What's more, he was a little surprised that at this moment, he didn't feel any tension in Yun Jing!
Not to mention he is a little kid, even if the mayor of Niujiao Town talks to him under such circumstances, he cannot be as natural as Yun Jing!
Is this child lacking in strength, or is it just his nature?
"No one taught me," Yun Jing said calmly again.
The children of the poor have long been in charge of their own affairs. Due to the pressure of life, many six- and seven-year-old children have begun to be sensible. Yunjing is now six years old and no longer needs to be as cautious as when he was two or three years old. Properly expressing his true nature will not make people angry.
It feels too abrupt...
