Lin Jue nodded silently. According to Fang Dunru, this seemed to be a congenital heart disease. In the past life before time travel, Lin Jue had a distant cousin who suffered from this disease and died before he was twenty years old. .The older this disease gets, the closer it is to death. It is difficult to treat in later generations, let alone in this era. If Fang Huanqiu really has congenital heart disease, there is really not much time left for her. If she takes good care of herself, she may It only lasted a few years, but this was consistent with the situation in the previous life.
Lin Jue felt it was a pity that Fang Huanqiu was beautiful and generous, but she was so jealous of her beauty that she got such a disease. He thought that he could find out her illness in advance and maybe save her fate in advance, but now it seems that there is nothing she can do. .It is true that congenital heart disease is incurable in this era.
"Don't think too much. Come and polish the ink for me. After polishing the ink, copy the manuscript for me. Don't think that I am ordering you. Since you have learned from me, you should know what I stand for and what I should reject. , what kind of truth do you want to tell the world? Copying my manuscripts is your learning process."
Lin Jue agreed repeatedly, knowing that this was not a lie, but the truth. Copying Fang Dunru's manuscripts was to understand the process of Fang Dunru's thoughts, which was naturally a learning process. He was not here to study, but to Come to learn principles, understanding, and depth. This is what you must learn in the imperial examination high school. Memorizing everything from the back of the book is useless.
Lin Jue was huffing and puffing as he helped Fang Dunru grind his ink. Fang Dunru was sitting on the bunk with his pen hanging in deep thought. At this moment, Mrs. Fang called Lin Jue in the hall.
"Lin Jue, you said you were helping my wife dig puddles, why didn't you dig them today?"
Lin Jue looked at Fang Dunru for advice. Fang Dunru smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, you go help your wife dig a hole. Your wife has been talking about the puddle for several days, and you are looking for trouble. You are a flatterer. Something happened..."
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "This is what it should be. That puddle should have been there. As the teacher's student, I have no shirking responsibility. It's just that I can't help you transcribe today. I'll come back tomorrow."
Fang Dunru said with a smile: "Just wait, your wife has already begun to complain that the house is a bit small, and I guess she will soon ask you if you can build a house."
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "If Master's wife really makes this request, I won't and will have no choice but to accept it. I also think that your husband's house is a bit small. It doesn't even have a study room. It's time to build a study room."
Fang Dunru sighed and said: "It seems that you are not here to study, but to do hard work. I will not control you and force you to do academic work. It's better for you to know your own things. If you want to take the imperial examination, you want to If you want to get rid of the status of a bastard and want to stand out, you'd better put in more effort. Don't blame me if you fail the exam."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, the master will lead you in. Cultivation is personal. How can I be so ignorant? I'm going to help my master dig a hole. I won't disturb you, sir."
Fang Dunru waved his hand, dipped his pen in ink and started writing. Lin Jue opened the curtain and went out. Under the wooden corridor in front of the door, the mistress had prepared tools such as shovels and shovels waiting for him.
…
Lin Jue chose a corner of the backyard where the soil was relatively soft, but even so, this was a mountainside area with sand and gravel beneath the floating soil, so it was really difficult. But Lin Jue refused to give up. Although it was very difficult, Lin Jue Jue regarded this as an exercise, gritted his teeth and dug hard, sweating all over his body.
Mrs. Fang felt a little distressed. She brought herbal tea for a while, and handed Lin Jue a towel to wipe his sweat. She wanted Lin Jue to give up, but also wanted the pool to be completed, which was extremely conflicting. Fang Huanqiu also came to the work site soon after, holding a shovel.
Help silently on the side.
Lin Jue wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Junior sister, don't do anything, don't tire yourself. I'll do the rough work."
Fang Huanqiu said: "You are not a person who does rough work. My mother is also serious. How can I let you dig rocks here?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "What is this? Look at those common people in the market, carrying goods and bags, which one is born like this? Everyone is the same, if they can, I can. I don't take myself seriously.
So high."
Fang Huanqiu thought for a while and said: "But there is still a difference. You can write an article like Ailian said, but they can't."
Lin Jue chuckled and said: "That's true. Some people work hard and some work hard. The division of labor is different. What I mean is that no matter whether you work hard or hard, we are still human beings. There is no need to distinguish between what should be done and what should not be done."
Fang Huanqiu said thoughtfully: "That seems to make sense."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about that anymore. By the way, your handwriting is very good. My humble work was written like this by you, and it looks like the calligraphy and paintings of famous people sold in calligraphy and painting shops. It is a great honor."
Fang Huanqiu finally heard Lin Jue praising his hard work, and felt very happy. He blushed and said, "You saw it. I wrote it blindly. I used your article without your consent. Don't be angry."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "I saw it as soon as I entered the room. I was also wondering, which calligrapher wrote my article so beautifully? I didn't dare to ask for a while. I just asked the husband and I found out that it was a junior sister.
It was written like a tiger father and a dogless daughter. I didn’t expect my junior sister’s handwriting to be so good.”
Fang Huanqiu looked at Lin Jue with bulging eyes, and laughed out loud himself.
"I know you are flattering me, but I am still very happy."
Lin Jue laughed, raised the shovel and started digging. He thought to himself: Of course I want to make you happy, but you can't be angry because of your illness. The happier you are, the better it will be for your condition.
Lin Jue worked hard to dig the hole, but Fang Huanqiu obeyed the order and stopped helping. She also knew her condition and could not do strenuous work, otherwise she would have difficulty breathing and feel uncomfortable. But she did not want to leave, so she served tea
She took on tasks such as delivering water and towels. She would talk to Lin Jue from time to time.
The men and women were matched, so the work was not tiring. There was a well-spoken and beautiful girl supervising the work, and Lin Jue really didn't seem to feel tired. Fang Dunru came over to check on the progress. He also looked at his daughter and
Lin Jue was chatting and laughing, and left with his hands behind his hands knowingly. Mrs. Fang basically kept her head hidden since her daughter arrived. She was tending the vegetable patch in the front yard, and from time to time she listened to the chatter and laughter coming from the back garden.
Lin Jue enjoyed this state very much, which was why he joined Fang Dunru's family again. In his previous life, Lin Jue felt the warmth of a strict father and a loving mother from Fang Dunru and his wife, so he missed this feeling.
Of course, besides this purpose, there are other reasons, but this is Lin Jue's main psychology.
As the sun gradually set in the west and towards the end of the day, Lin Hu's return accelerated the excavation of the pool. After removing a layer of hard stones about a foot long, the soil below turned out to be surprisingly soft, and the progress was further accelerated.
.
The pit is nearly five feet deep, and has basically reached the desired depth.
"We'll be done by digging out this stone. Then we'll make some repairs and gather the soil into the ridge next to the pond, and we'll wait until it rains to store water." Lin Jue pointed to a piece of stone embedded in the soil in the corner of the pit.
Big stone road.
"Master, rest a while, I'll do it." Xiao Hu raised the shovel and inserted it under the stone, and pried it up hard. The two-foot-square stone was pried away from the soil. Lin Hu reached over and lifted the stone, which turned out to be as big as a millstone.
Lin Jue hurriedly helped, and the two of them carried the stones and threw them out of the pit. Suddenly, Fang Huanqiu, who was standing by the pit, shouted in surprise: "Water, there is water."
Lin Jue hurriedly looked towards the pothole where the stones had been moved, and saw a stream of clear water gurgling out, quickly gushing out of the ground. It was like a clear spring.
"Spring water. Spring water has been dug. Hahaha, spring water will be dug up halfway up the mountain. What a day." Lin Jue said with great joy.
While he was talking, the spring water had already poured into the bottom of the pool, and the spring water was cold and refreshing. Lin Jue and Lin Hu hurriedly climbed up the earthen steps. Fang Dunru and Mrs. Fang came after hearing the news, and several people stood by the pit and watched the spring water gush.
I was overjoyed. In just a short period of time, the spring water had filled the small pool to the point of overflowing.
"It seems that we need to dig a ditch for drainage. If we can dig a small ditch around the yard and carry the spring water to various places in the front yard and backyard, it will be more convenient in the future. I can also open a few more vegetable beds and load more
A few ridges of flowers and grass.”
Mrs. Fang seemed to be talking to herself. Fang Dunru looked at his students with pitiful eyes, Fang Huanqiu covered his mouth and snickered, and Lin Jue had a sad face.
