"Where is my brother-in-law?" Guangdan asked after looking around.

"I went to the town to help my brother." Daya said with a smile while holding a cup of brewed brown sugar water.

The brother and sister chatted about family matters for a while and then Guangdan prepared to go home.

Daya was very reluctant to let him stay overnight at her house. After getting married, she had fewer and fewer opportunities to see her family.

Guangdan thought, why would he keep this little bit of meat for the night? So he ran away quickly.

As for the Lin family, when everyone went out to work in the afternoon, they were surrounded by onlookers. After all, catching wild goats was a rare thing in the village.

Even the two hunters came to chat with Grandpa Lin out of curiosity.

When Guangdan got home, the sun was already setting.

I ran back to my yard out of breath and saw my cousin who had caught sheep with me in the morning.

After saying hello, he went straight to the kitchen. At this time, the fresh aroma of mutton had already spread.

"Wow! This smells so good!!!" Guangdan immediately started exclaiming.

"You're back. Go take a rest outside and don't get in the way here." Fang Cuihua started to chase people away, putting an end to Guangdan's idea of ​​giving her a taste of the saltiness of the food.

After being kicked out by my mother, I happened to see Goudan.

What's going on with this kid holding Laicai and staring at me without blinking?

"What's the matter? Did you find that I, your brother, am brave, handsome and unparalleled?" The bald guy shook his head, flicked his hair, and blinked, and directly used the greasy man's tricks.

Goudan was choking on the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and he stared at his brother in front of him with an indescribable look.

"Grandpa said that when my handwriting gets better, he will buy me paper and ink." Ignoring his weird brother, Goudan still grinned and told Guangdan the good news.

When he heard words like paper, pen, and ink, Guangdan's first reaction was to escape.

After restraining his impulse, Guangdan showed a typical smile: "Study hard and make progress every day. You are the hope of our whole family!"

The pressure is directly put on Goudan, well, that feels good!

"I know everything. It's because of you." Goudan stubbornly pulled at the sleeve of Guangdan who was about to slip away, with a bit of embarrassment on his little face.

"Uh, no no, I'm going to go see the chicks!" Guangdan already had a bad feeling! !

"I will study hard. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to read and write every afternoon! I will teach you everything I know!"

When Goudan said this, it seemed as if his whole body was glowing!

Isn't this just saving a child who has dropped out of school?

But at this time, the dropout Lin Guangdan looked as pale as death, it was hard to describe!!

Alas, some people study for more than ten years and are still illiterate when they return.

Not wanting to listen to the little scholar's chatter anymore, Guangdan pulled up his sleeves and ran away. At this time, he could only look at the chicks and ducklings before he could calm down.

In fact, Guangdan knew clearly that in this era, studying was the only way out.

Even if a businessman is wealthy, his children still have to go to school because it is the only chance to change the family's fortune.

Thinking back to how Master Wu from Fule Restaurant had developed a liking for Goudan because of a few words he said, Guangdan suddenly felt that his future was bleak.

Even if you are really lucky and become wealthy, and have abalone and bird's nest banquet every day, it is still difficult without an academic degree.

Because without this academic qualification, you will become the wool in the hands of others and can only allow others to fleece you.

Thinking of this, I squatted at the door of the chicken coop and sighed. It is better to be a chicken, eat well and wait to be slaughtered.

After a gurgling sound, Guangdan stood up and touched his stomach, thinking that he had been thinking too much.

Right now, I have to eat meat every day! Then I can think about studying!

After all, the family doesn't have the money to support too many children in school.

Goudan, who returned to the room at this time, secretly made up his mind that he must teach Guangdan well. Such a smart second brother must not be wasted!

Today's dinner was extremely sumptuous, a large earthenware bowl of mutton soup. Although there were some wild vegetables in it, the internal organs of a whole sheep were all in it, and Fang Cuihua did not keep any of it.

Then there was a large pot of lamb stew, with nothing in it except lamb.

The main reason is that there is really nothing else to put in at this time of year. The taro and radish have all been eaten, and there is only some cabbage left. Fang Cuihua just didn't put it in. She just added more water and stewed it directly.

Add some fresh wild vegetables from the back mountain and grandma’s specialty pickled vegetables, and the meal was a real delight to both the host and the guests.

Even the great grandfather raised the wine cup in his trembling hand and said that he had not eaten such delicious mutton for a long time.

As for whether it tastes good or not, Guangdan feels that he has no say, mainly because he is short of oil and water, and now his eyes turn green when he sees meat.

As the little hero of this incident, his grandfather put several pieces of mutton in his bowl.

It’s just that the smell of mutton offal is a bit too strong, and it’s a bit too much for the egg alone to bear for a while.

Looking at his elder brother slurping the mutton offal soup, Guangdan felt that his elder brother was indeed a strong man!

After the guests left, grandpa asked, "How much mutton is left, old man?"

"There is still one front leg." Fang Cuihua put down the rag she was using to clean the table and asked Erya to do it. She then sat down on a small stool.

"Send it to the private school teacher tomorrow." After saying this, Grandpa looked at Goudan and Goumao with a kind face.

The six-year-old Gou Mao is still ignorant. He starts to feel sleepy after eating, and starts to doze off with a greasy mouth.

But Goudan was a smart boy. He immediately understood that it was because of him that his grandfather was giving the teacher the leg of lamb, and he lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Our Goudan is a good student, and the teacher takes good care of him. The brushes he used to use, and the paper and ink he uses now, were all given by the teacher. We can't be ignorant people."

After saying this, he sighed softly. Life is just one thing after another. Now that the family's debts have been paid off, other things have to be considered.

It costs money for Xiaoniu and Gouwei to get married, especially Gouwei, because they have to build a house when they get married!

If Goudan continues to study hard, it will cost a lot of money. Thinking of this, the old man frowned even deeper.

Grandpa had naturally thought about all these problems a long time ago, but he was still very optimistic. After all, Grandpa had only been ill twice since last winter, which was basically the best situation in recent years.

As long as the family members are in good health, we can slowly work on making money.

Next, Lin Daniu talked about selling mutton today. One string of money might not be much in the eyes of rich people, but for farmers, it is already a huge sum of money!

With this extra money, not only can the family debt be completely cleared, but it will also be enough to pay for grandpa's medicine for half a year!

"Tomorrow, Daniu will pay back the extra money, and find an excuse to pay back the rest later."

As Grandpa said this, his mood improved again. He looked at Guangdan's little head, who seemed to be thinking about something, and waved his hand gently.
