New ink fragrance in old times

Seeing this, Lin Mo's eyes flashed with surprise. He continued with his work, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, thinking; "Good opportunity."

When Mrs. Lin saw the two, her kind eyes lingered over them, filled with love and concern. "Da Lang, Er Lang, you two must have traveled hard today. Studying is hard work, too. Why don't you take a break?"

Lin Sixuan said, "Grandma, it's okay. It's not too late to rest later. Erlang and I will come to help."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin's eyes flashed with relief and love. "My dear children, your filial piety is truly rare. But studying is important, and you also have to take care of your health. Look at you two, you've both lost a lot of weight."

Lin Sixuan smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry, Grandma. We know our limits. Today at the community school, the teacher shared a lot of interesting information. We were fascinated and kept discussing it on the way home. We're in good spirits now, and it's a pleasure for us to spend time with you and your family."

Lin Siyuan also echoed: "Yes, grandma, we are young, and we won't be tired if we do more work."

Old Mrs. Lin smiled with relief.

Lin Sixuan continued, his eyes gleaming with a passion for learning and a vision for the future. "Besides, the professor deliberately gave us an extra day off so that we could personally experience the hardships faced by the people. We could put these feelings into words and write articles that are warm and profound, so that we can be more fully prepared for the children's exam next February."

When mentioning the Tongshi exam, a flash of anger crossed Mrs. Lin's face. She slapped her thigh hard, with a hint of reluctance and indignation in her voice.

"Da Lang, you could have taken the Tongshi exam this year. It's our fault that we couldn't find a guarantor. Don't worry, your grandfather has already asked someone to find out. Just focus on your preparations and leave the rest to us. You will definitely take the exam next year."

"What a bunch of short-sighted people! My eldest grandson is so smart, they will regret it sooner or later!" Although her tone was heavy, her eyes were full of pride and trust in Lin Sixuan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Sixuan comforted her, "Grandma, don't be angry. Missing this year's Tongkat Ali exam may be an opportunity for me. I can focus more on my studies, make up for my shortcomings, and be more fully prepared for next year's exam. Furthermore, the teacher at the community school has high hopes for me and is already inquiring about my guarantee for next year. I believe there will be good news before the New Year."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin's anger subsided a little. She turned to look at Mr. Lin, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Old man, we must thank that gentleman for taking care of our Dalang."

With the addition of Lin Sixuan and Lin Siyuan, the nights at the Lin family are given a different kind of vitality and warmth.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the busy and harmonious courtyard, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

While working, everyone cares for each other from time to time. You say "I feel bad", he says "I'm ashamed", and then he says "Don't blame yourself too much", and it's so lively with the back and forth.

Lin Mo sat aside, watching these heartwarming scenes, his heart filled with warmth, but also with a hint of anxiety.

Lin Mo wanted to interrupt several times, but was worried that his intentions would be too obvious and would be discovered by the Lin family. He could only put his thoughts aside for the time being and observe silently, looking for a more appropriate time.

Lin Sixuan suddenly said, "Sanlang is already five years old this year, and will be six next year. Why don't I teach Sanlang a few words tomorrow and let him learn at home first, and then teach his brothers later."

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, but he tried to remain calm, his eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation. "Really? I can learn calligraphy from you!" He feigned excitement, but in his mind, he was already quickly formulating a "teaching plan" for tomorrow.

After hearing this, Mr. Lin pondered for a moment and said, "If it will interfere with your studies, let Erlang teach. Dalang, you should focus on preparing for the exam." He turned to Lin Mo and said seriously, "Sanlang, you must study hard tomorrow and don't cause trouble for Dalang, understand?"

Lin Mo was secretly happy and said "OK" with an excited look on his face.

Lin Siyuan wanted to say something. He also wanted to teach his younger brother to read, but he had only gone to the community school this year and didn't know as much as Lin Sixuan, who had been studying for three years.

Lin Mo quickly nodded in agreement, but he was secretly pleased. He thought that as a modern university student, being taught to read by a ten-year-old was more than enough. However, he had to be careful not to let this "special" thing show up.

So, he secretly made up his mind to play the role of "primary school student" well tomorrow, making everything look so natural and seamless.

Although Lin Mo's heart was filled with ripples because he was about to be "taught" to read, he tried his best to maintain the innocence and excitement of a child on the surface. He knew very well that although he was already a sophomore, in this world, he was still a five-year-old child, and his words and actions had to be consistent with this identity.

As night falls, moonlight shines on every corner of the Lin family courtyard, adding a touch of tranquility and peace to this warm and ordinary scene.

"Sanlang, tomorrow morning, we will start learning from the simplest characters. Remember to pay attention and feel free to ask me if you have any questions." Lin Sixuan's voice was gentle and encouraging.

Lin Mo nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with nervousness and anticipation. He secretly made up his mind to seize this opportunity, not only to obtain information but also to disguise himself and not reveal any flaws.

It was late at night, and the Lin family members finished their work of peeling corn and went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Mo lay in bed, tossing and turning, feeling anxious about the unknown challenge. He closed his eyes and rehearsed tomorrow's study scenario in his mind, trying to adapt and integrate himself into this new role.

At dawn, Lin Mo woke up driven by his biological clock. He quickly got up, dressed himself, and prepared to face his "first lesson".

Lin Mo stepped out of the room, and the fresh morning air hit him. He took a deep breath and felt refreshed. As he walked into the yard, an unusual noise caught his attention. The sound came from the direction of the kitchen, but it seemed to be mixed with the sound of reading aloud.

Following the sound, Lin Mo discovered that Dalang and Erlang of the Lin family were already standing in a corner of the yard, holding scrolls and reciting articles with full concentration.

The morning light shines on their young faces, reflecting expressions of determination and concentration. The picture is peaceful and powerful.

Lin Mo was delighted.

"Big brother, second brother, good morning!" Lin Mo walked closer while greeting them, his voice revealing a hint of lightness and anticipation.

"Brother, second brother, you have started studying hard so early!" Lin Mo began to get close to them.

Lin Sixuan looked up and smiled slightly: "Sanlang, a day's plan begins in the morning. Morning time is the most precious, and it is perfect for studying."

Lin Siyuan also stopped reciting, his eyes fell softly on Lin Mo, his tone was filled with encouragement and expectation: "Yes, Sanlang, do you want to join us? Brother will teach you."
