Guangdan'er's act of making a brush caused a big commotion in the main room after dinner.

"Are you serious? Goudan, show it to grandpa!" Grandpa Lin looked unconvinced.

Lin Daniu stared at his second son with a pair of tired big eyes, and the look in his eyes was the same as that of his old father.

However, Grandma Lin and Fang Cuihua's expressions changed from happy to sad.

"Grandpa, this is the brush! I will show it to the teacher tomorrow. My second and eldest brothers are very smart!" Goudan said without forgetting to say a good word for his two brothers.

Old Master Lin really couldn't tell any difference between this brush and the one in his memory. His big, cloudy eyes looked at Guangdan and Gouwei with some anticipation.

"No, why are you looking at us like that? It's not a difficult thing. As long as you are willing, you can do it." Guangdan puffed up his little black face and said confidently.

Fang Cuihua: I believed your lies!

After taking a look at the Lin family who were still rejoicing and catching a glimpse of her mother-in-law staring at the bare egg, Fang Cuihua instantly became uneasy.

"Yes, Grandpa, Dad, it's not that difficult actually. We have thought about it. If the teacher thinks this brush can be used, we will go to the town to try it." Gouwei directly helped to divert attention.

At this time, Lin Xiaoniu suppressed his inner excitement and grinned, saying, "I heard before that there was a kid in the next town who watched a carpenter work for a few days and then drew the blueprint of a waterwheel himself. I thought he was bragging, but now it seems possible."

"I think it may be because of intelligence." Guangdan responded in time, and the whole atmosphere suddenly became joyful.

Even the worry in Grandma Lin's eyes disappeared a lot.

"But it definitely won't work in your town. You have to go to the county town. There are only a few educated people in our town, so it'll be hard to sell. You can go to the county town privately to find a bookstore near the elementary school. It'll be easier to sell there." Lin Xiaoniu, the only businessman in the family, gave his advice in a timely manner.

"Let's see what the teacher says tomorrow. I think it's all good." Grandpa Lin said with a smile on his face.

Although this was done by the eldest grandson and the second grandson together, everyone in the family knew everything about this matter and it was basically Guangdan who did it himself.

Gouwei basically serves as a laborer, but at this time the old man is considering that Gouwei is old. If he can really master this skill, he will not have to worry about finding a marriage partner in the future.

This may be a bit unfair to Guangdan, as he is still young. Although there are many children like him who have made a name for themselves at a young age in the area, Grandpa Lin still doesn't want Guangdan to be so ostentatious.

The family has a grandson who can read and write, which is often ridiculed by the villagers. If there is another grandson who can make brushes at a young age, there will be even more gossip.

At this time, Grandpa Lin was still very conservative in his attitude towards the people in the village. After all, the Lin family's financial situation was really too poor.

Do these bastards care?

He didn't care at all. He was not the kind of person who cared about fame or fortune. In fact, he had already made up his mind in the afternoon that this craft would be handed over to his eldest brother.

Gouwei is actually a somewhat magical person, because he is very strong, but at the same time he is careful and patient, without any of Ms. Fang Cuihua's impatience and carelessness.

Moreover, compared to himself, his older brother is more suitable to take on this matter.

At this moment, Lin Erniu cleared his throat a few times and spoke timidly.

"Dad, Goumao will be six years old after the New Year. Should we send him to a private school?" After saying that, he looked at Grandpa Lin pitifully.

Guangdaner felt that his second uncle was acting heavily, but when he saw his grandfather's face suddenly become sad, the words just came out of his mouth.

"Grandpa, I won't go to the private school after the New Year. I'm not cut out for studying. Let Goumao go. Maybe he can learn better than me. Goudan can come home and teach me a few words later."

These words almost made Fang Cuihua jump up from the stool. Fortunately, Erya pulled her back.

Looking at his second grandson who acted like a monkey, Grandpa Lin had to admit that this kid was indeed not good at studying. After thinking about it, he nodded.

Fang Cuihua was extremely anxious, but women in the family had no say in matters like this.

As if he could see his eldest daughter-in-law's mood, Grandpa Lin spoke slowly.

"Guangdan is smart. As long as he can learn a few words, he will be fine in the future. Look at the pine nuts, small fish, and brushes he made recently. We were wrong before. Maybe it would be better for the child not to study."

What Grandpa Lin meant was that studying is simply hindering Guangdan's ability to perform well!

This kid's path is not to study hard.

Although this statement is a bit far-fetched, it does sound like it is true.

Glancing at his second sister who was watching the fun on the side, Guangdan grinned and said, "My grandfather really understands me! In my opinion, we should let my second sister Xiaoya and I learn to read with Goudan in the future.

"Master, you see, when our Guangdan passes the exam to become a scholar, it will be embarrassing for Erya, the elder sister, to tell others that she can't read. In my opinion, she doesn't need to know many words, but she should be able to do basic math. You can't do it like our mother, using small stones to do the math, right?"

Comrade Fang Cuihua, feeling that she had suffered a huge invisible blow, turned her head and glared at Goudan in annoyance.

"You little bastard, you're still slandering your mother?"

"Hehehe, next time I let my second sister help mom with the accounts, she won't need to use little stones." Guangdan said with a wink.

At this time, not to mention Fang Cuihua, even Second Aunt Cao Lian was moved. If a girl can read and do accounting, can't she marry into the town and become the shopkeeper's wife?

That's much better than farming! !
