Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As for the deeper principles of life, Chu Jin really did not know much at the moment.
Teacher Lin was rendered speechless by his words. After a while, he gently stroked Chu Jin’s head with a benevolent expression. His heart also became more open. “Yes, I’ve been too narrow-minded. I’ll accept these pickled cabbages.”
“Lil’ Jin, it’s time to return to class and memorize the content taught today. I’ll come over to check your recitation later.”
Chu Jin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the class had started and that he was not late.
He quickly turned around and greeted Ye Muyu and Chu Ziluo.
“Mother, Sister, I’m going to class first. I’ll talk to you when I get home later.” After saying that, he rushed into the school.
Teacher Lin waited for him to leave. He looked at Ye Muyu and extended his hand. “Madam, please come in. I’m sure you want to ask me about Lil’ Jin.
Please come in and have a cup of tea.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Teacher Lin,” said Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu looked at Zhang Shu and whispered to him to wait at the school gate.
She brought Ziluo along, and because Nenya was taking care of Ziluo, she also went in.
They entered the school.
There was only one big room in the school, and it was full of students. At this moment, they were reading and reciting.
It was very pleasant to hear.
At the very least, parents liked to hear their children reading.
There was a small courtyard next to the room. In the courtyard, some books were drying.
There were two rooms behind.
It should be where Teacher Lin lived.
There was also an open kitchen next to it. Hot water was still boiling on the stove at the entrance of the kitchen.
When Teacher Lin heard the sound of boiling water, he quickly walked over and brought the kettle down.
The hot water in the kettle was just enough to make tea.
Teacher Lin extended his hand and invited Ye Muyu to sit at the wooden table in the courtyard.
He sat opposite her and washed the teacups on the table before starting to make tea.
“Thank you, Teacher Lin,” Ye Muyu said.
Teacher Lin shook his head. “It’s nothing. It’s just that the tea leaves at home are average. I’m afraid they won’t suit Madam’s taste.”
“Teacher, you don’t have to call me Madam. You can just call me Lady Ye.” Ye Muyu actually came to see Master Lin on a whim. She had originally only accompanied Ziluo to see the two children develop a relationship.
However, when she saw Teacher Lin, she could tell that his temperament was different. She had seen many scholars before. At the Dragon Boat Festival, Chu Heng knew all the scholars in the county.
She felt that those scholars were real scholars.
However, Teacher Lin was obviously more knowledgeable and talented, so why was he only teaching in the village?
Of course, they had heard that Teacher Lin was waiting for someone in the village, but no one knew who he was waiting for.
A few years ago, there were even old women in the village who wanted to introduce wives to him, but they were all rejected by him. Later, they found out that Teacher Lin had a wife and children, but his wife and children were not here.
However, it was even stranger. Why did he not return home when he had a wife and children? He had been teaching in the village school for almost five years. Ye Muyu didn’t need to think much to know that Teacher Lin had a story.
However, she would not ask.
At this moment, she was simply trying to understand Chu Jin’s situation from Teacher Lin.
“Then this old man will respectfully accept your request.” Teacher Lin nodded with a warm smile on his face. Although he was middle-aged and there was only an old woman servant who cooked for him, the place was clean and tidy..
