As for Ling Yun, after they visited Jingshan Academy, their father, Ling Daren, dragged them to the courtyard of the academy and followed the crowd to watch the masters post their admission lists.
Ling Daren clenched his hands into fists until he saw Ling Yun's name appearing in it, and his eyes stayed on the word Ling Yun.
Excited, his eyes were red and tears were rolling in his eyes. He silently stared at the list on the wall for a long time.
During the time he was in the room just now, he suffered a lot, but for the sake of his son, he endured the contempt of others and the inner discomfort.
Now looking at his son's name mounted on the wall, I feel mixed emotions and burst into tears.
"Dad, don't worry about other people's opinions. What others have, I will have your son in the future. And if I want to earn more, there will be more. You and your mother, grandpa and grandma, and sisters, they all have it.
"Seeing Ling Daren who touched his heartstrings, Ling Yun quickly comforted him, his expression extremely firm.
"Okay, okay, if my son has this ambition, he will feel relieved as a father."
If you give birth to a child like this, you will have no regrets in this life!
Looking at Ling Yun who vowed to promise him, Ling Daren felt happy at this moment.
Ling Yun looked at the people who were rubbing shoulders and was slightly moved. He stood motionless and thought for a long time.
Then he looked to the southeast, scanning in a clockwise direction, and suddenly discovered that the fat man who was pestering him just now was looking around, as if he was looking for something.
After thinking for a moment, he thought something was wrong and quickly looked away.
Although Ling Yun retracted his gaze decisively, it was too late.
The fat man seemed to feel strange the moment Ling Yun saw him, and followed his gaze.
This is incredible!
He actually saw the person he longed for!
The fat man spotted Ling Yun's figure and called out to the soldiers, and the two of them rushed here immediately.
Looking at the fat man rushing towards him, Ling Yun couldn't help feeling frightened.
He felt horrified when he recalled that the fat man who had just clung to him was dressed neatly, but the flesh on his body trembled when he walked.
Besides, despite the fact that he looks like a young man and has mucus hanging from his nostrils, he loves cleanliness very much, so he naturally scorns this phenomenon.
I thought that if this person was stalking him, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and turned pale.
If I let the fat man catch up, not to mention the runny nose, I would feel horrified when I see his trembling flesh, let alone keep pestering me, which is simply unreasonable.
So Ling Yun took Ling Daren's hand and said hurriedly, "Dad, let's go back!"
"Ah? Son, dad hasn't seen enough yet, why don't you wait a little longer?" Ling Daren refused.
At this time, Ling Yun wished that a pair of wings could grow on his back so that he could fly freely, so that he would not be afraid of the fat man's entanglement.
After thinking for a moment, he came up with a plan and said cleverly, "Dad, let's go quickly! It's still early, but buy some things from the county, otherwise I'll go home empty-handed later, and I'm afraid I will disappoint my mother."
As soon as he said this, Ling Daren's heart moved. When buying something, he had to buy something to take home.
Last time I bought a hosta for my daughter-in-law, Ying'er was so thoughtful and considerate that night, which made him so happy. Now that I think about it, it is really a blessing in life, and it's an endless aftertaste!
Fortunately, my son reminded me, otherwise I would have forgotten it!
Ling Daren thought for a moment, turned slightly red, and cast a grateful look at Ling Yun, which made him feel baffled!
"Dad, are you okay?" Ling Yun carefully patted Ling Daren's hand, fearing that he would buy a bunch of things in a mess and go back.
"No, no." Ling Daren waved his hands repeatedly, hurriedly covering up his inner guilt.
Ling Yun didn't know that he just wanted to escape from this place quickly at this moment. He had forgotten everything else, so how could he notice Ling Daren's abnormality.
Realizing that his son wanted to leave, which coincided with his desire to go shopping, he quickly agreed, "Okay, listen to my son, we'll leave now."
After saying that, he took Ling Yun's hand and walked down the academy hill.
The fat man behind saw Ling Yun and the two turning around to leave, so he naturally quickened his pace. When he got tired, he quickly asked the soldiers to carry him.
The fat man lying on the soldier's back urged the soldier to go faster and shouted loudly, "Don't go, wait for me..."
When Ling Yun heard this, he thought it was okay, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Ling Daren looked at his son who was walking quickly and was slightly startled. Then he was reminded by Ling Yun to walk faster. Ling Daren had no choice but to follow Ling Yun's footsteps and stride down the stairs.
As for why his son was in such a hurry, he just assumed that Ling Yun was in a hurry to go home and tell his family the news of being admitted to Jingshan Academy, and he didn't think much about anything else.
The fat man looked at Ling Yun and the two who had finished descending the stairs. He couldn't help but become anxious. He opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly, "Wait, wait for me..."
"Son, I think I heard someone calling us again?" Ling Daren suddenly stopped when he heard the fat man's voice and wanted to look behind him.
Hearing Ling Daren's reminder that someone was calling them, Ling Yun couldn't help but shudder slightly.
Wanting to escape from here, he hurriedly took Ling Daren's hand and urged, "Dad, there is no one we know here. Have you forgotten how those people looked down on us just now?"
Ling Daren thought about it immediately and felt that his son's words were reasonable.
Leaving aside whether there are people I know here, even if someone catches up, it may not be a good thing. If I encounter the group of sharp-nosed, monkey-cheeked, mischievous villains just now, I will inevitably feel sad again.
Another voice of "Wait for me" came slowly from behind.
Ling Yun, who was walking behind Ling Daren, turned a deaf ear. His footsteps doubled and he couldn't help but become faster.
Ling Yun's eyes were wide open, and his heart was pounding, as if it had reached his throat, fearing that he would be overtaken if he took one step at night.
Just like this, the two of them were chasing each other, scrambling for the first place. Seeing Ling Yun quicken his pace, the fat man and the soldier were not willing to lag behind, crossing the crowded crowd and racing against time.
It wasn't until he got on Uncle Zhou's ox cart and slowly drove into the gate of the county town that the dust settled. Ling Yun let go of his hanging heart and felt relieved.
The two of them hurriedly purchased a lot of items, and Ling Daren sneaked into the jade bracelet shop again, choosing too much to choose from.
Speaking of which, Ling Daren, who is usually dull and dull, is now smart, eloquent and careful as he chooses carefully in the store.
Ling Yun was dumbfounded, thinking that the man who only had his wife in his heart was shining with light, like fireflies, and like the blazing sun hanging high in the sky, attracting attention from thousands of feet.
Once again, the two of the Ling family were stunned by Old Man Zhou. With their hearts surging, they sat on the slow-moving ox cart and drove towards Guangping Village all the way.
On the way home, Ling Daren happily shared with Uncle Zhou the news that Ling Yun had been admitted to the academy.
As a person who travels to and from the county, Mr. Zhou naturally knows the importance of Jingshan Academy.
I originally knew that when Ling Daren sent Ling Yun to the academy to take the exam, he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in his heart.
All cats and dogs want to enter the academy, but the academy is not a place where ordinary people like us can set foot.
It’s not that I look down on the Ling family, I just feel that such a noble place as the academy is not easy for lowly peasants like us to set foot in.
Then this place is just the back home of the children of aristocratic families, or the sons of rich families.
And have you ever heard of news that farmers like them were admitted to academies?
But since the master asked to go to the academy when taking money from others, Old Uncle Zhou naturally had no reason to refuse.
What's more, they are from the same village, so they won't express their inner thoughts.
But he never thought that Ling Family Silang would actually pass the exam. When Old Uncle Zhou heard the news, he was naturally surprised and dumbfounded.
He paused blankly for a long time before he came to his senses and congratulated Ling Daren.
He said complimentary words against his will, "Silang's admission to Jingshan Academy is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of a scholar. Daren family, you should enjoy the blessing. You may really become a scholar in the future!"
"No way, no way, it's just a fluke for this kid. No matter what achievements he has in the future, I will try my best." Faced with Old Man Zhou's flattery, Ling Daren looked calm and indifferent.
In fact, he was greatly affected by it, his face turned red, his ears turned red, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his heart trembled involuntarily.
Ling Yun was admitted to Jingshan Academy, and the news was spread by Uncle Zhou in Xiaguangping Village.
Jingshan Academy is famous in the county, and naturally everyone knows about it. Even couples who don't go out often hear about it.
But most people in the village didn't know about it, but when people who knew it mentioned that it was the only academy in Lingshan County, they were all shocked.
Jingshan Academy was originally a famous academy in Lingshan County, an academy that local students wanted to get into.
Even if a child from a wealthy family enters, he still needs to pass the entrance examination before he can enter. You can imagine the importance of Jingshan Academy.
But what they never expected was that the Ling family, which was already suffering from foreign debts, suddenly heard the news that the fourth son of the Ling family was admitted to Jingshan Academy, and the villagers became suspicious.
I couldn't help but look up and down, have all the money borrowed by the Ling family been repaid?
If it's all over, that's it.
Just thinking about it carefully, where did the Ling family get so much money to study in an academy?
The villagers, who were thinking hard, tried their best, but they never came up with a reason.
Then I found Mr. Zhou, who had been driving for the Ling family recently, and after some entanglement, I found out that the Ling family had made some money making baby strollers during this period.
Not only did he pay off all the foreign debts, but he also made a profit. Even the ox cart that Bao Zhou owned was given a dozen copper coins more than ordinary people.
The villagers who learned about this were naturally shocked. At the same time, they complained that the Ling family had created such a valuable thing but not shared it with the village?
Making a fortune behind closed doors will inevitably lead to resentment.
What's more, they went to the village chief and asked the Ling family to contribute the drawings for making strollers to increase income for the village.
The village chief, who had always been a man of few things, was naturally hesitant. Then he went to Li Chuan excitedly and talked about the matter, hoping to get him to come forward and ask questions.
I never thought that when Li Chuan heard that he was from the Lingyun family, he would scold the village chief and others with sharp words without asking the whole story.
The people who were full of expectations suffered a big loss at Li Chuan's house, so the village chief took the exhausted people back to their homes in despair.
