After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

The six or seven children nearby turned around and saw that it was Chu Chi who came, and they all greeted her happily.

"Sixteenth sister-in-law!"

"Aunt Sixteen!"

"Grandma Sixteen!"

Even though they were just a bunch of five or six-year-old kids, they were definitely respectful people. They would not isolate Chu Chi just because she was a girl and older than them.

The friendship they formed while playing together was by no means fake. They had already established an extraordinary friendship with this big friend who would bring the big cat to play with them.

Of course, having lived in Linjia Village for so long, Chu Chi was already very familiar with the number 16 on her head. Hearing everyone's greetings, she grabbed the little girl's paw in her arms and waved it, interacting with a group of friends.

"What are you playing at?"

She took two steps forward curiously, and Lin Chengxin quickly threw away the mud in his hand and opened his arms to block her way.

Thinking back to the last time when he planned to take Grandma Sixteen to play in the mud, and when Uncle Twenty-Three found out, he picked up a branch and gave him a severe beating. He instantly felt his butt starting to hurt again.

"Uncle An said, you are a girl, you are not allowed to play this game!"

A categorical refusal.

"Oh."

Chu Chi had already seen them playing in the mud again, so she nodded indifferently. She had no interest in it anyway, and this kind of dirty game was not fun at all.

Just when she was about to come up with a new idea, she saw a tall mule running over on the road not far away, with a person sitting on it. When the person got closer, she saw that it was her big sponsor again.

His eyes lit up.

"Uncle Bai, are you here to see me?"

He quickly and happily went over, raised his little face and greeted the sponsor very politely, as happy and enthusiastic as if a friend had come from afar.

Although Bai Lao Hu was not young anymore, he was still very agile in getting off the mule. He held the reins with one hand, looked at Lin Yuanzhou, the so-called wife who was betrothed to him since childhood, and sighed in his heart.

"No, I came to talk to your brother about something."

Oh, my eighteen taels are gone.

The cheerful dimples on her face disappeared instantly, and Chu Chi's voice sounded a little sad.

"Brother is not at home. He took An An to the academy."

"Did he say when he would be back?"

"do not know."

It was probably impossible to get any serious information from this girl who didn't have a very bright brain. White Tiger nodded and led the mule towards the village.

"Then I will go to your clan leader's house first and wait for your eldest brother to come back before we talk."

The old man was quite agile and soon reached the gate of the clan leader's house. Chu Chi watched from behind and muttered with regret in his eyes.

"His legs must be more than eighteen taels."

"Grandma Sixteen, what did you say?"

Lin Chengxin, who was closest to her, didn't hear it clearly. Chu Chi looked down at her friends and instantly became happy again.

"Let's play hide and seek again."

This proposal was immediately warmly welcomed by everyone.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Oh, let's go play hide and seek!"

"Come play outside my house. There are plenty of places to hide there."

"Fat Lin is right, let's go now!"

The children were all happily chattering as they ran towards the village. Chu Chi also held Lin Qianqian in his arms and blended in with them without any barriers. The mother and daughter had the same happiness on their faces, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not fake.

Meanwhile, Lin Youan and his group also arrived at the Green Willow Academy when the sun was high in the sky. Lin Youwen brought his father and cousin to his teacher, Master Li.

"Master, this is my younger brother. He is the one that the student mentioned last time that wanted to enter the academy."

Lin Youan walked forward very sensibly and performed the student salute in a proper manner.

"I am Lin Youan, my dearest friend, and I am honored to meet you, Master."

"No gift."

"Thank you, Master."

Their questions and answers were extremely casual and smooth, just like the natural relationship between master and disciple.

Li Cunxiao sat at the desk, silently looking at the little child opposite him. Through the eyebrows and eyes that could already vaguely see the handsome face of the future, he seemed to vaguely see the high-spirited Lin Yuanzhou of the past.

God is jealous of talented people!

If it weren't for that fatal accident, the former case leader Lin would have already entered the official career by now, right?

Alas, what a pity, what a shame...

Li Cunxiao was actually very envious and respectful of the talented scholar who was determined to achieve fame and honor as soon as he got on the stage.

There was a flash of regret in his eyes.

Lin Yuanshan, who was standing nearby, saw that Master Li was silent, so he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well recently? I've been busy with a lot of things in the fields recently and haven't been able to take care of you. I came to see how Youwen is doing in the academy. Master Li is really taking care of him. Thank you for your concern."

Although Lin Yuanshan is a quick-witted and tactful person, he actually respects scholars. After all, no matter where you go these days, people always say that everything else is inferior except for reading.

Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, sometimes your future is already determined when you are born.

Although he himself didn't have a good brain for studying and couldn't pass the imperial examination like the second brother, it didn't stop him from being envious and loving. Otherwise, why would he work so hard to support his younger brother and then his son and nephew?

What's more, this is my brother Wen's teacher? So when talking to him, I need to be more careful.

That mouth that had always been fearless was now as polite as possible. This shows that parents' fear of teachers is a good tradition that has existed since ancient times.

Li Cunxiao turned his gaze away and looked at Lin Yuanshan. The smile on the corner of his mouth was very kind, adding a touch of gentleness and scholarly air to his ordinary appearance.

"Brother Lin, you are too polite. Mr. Lin and I studied at Hongwen Academy one after another. We can barely be considered brothers from the same school. You don't need to be too polite with me."

"Yes, yes, I've heard my brother mention this before. It's fate, isn't it? Look at my nephew. He has come to study under you after many twists and turns. I'll have to trouble you, Master Li, to take care of him in the future."

Lin Yuanshan was extremely polite and humble. Master Li was a serious scholar, and he was definitely different from a country bumpkin like him.

Li Cunxiao sighed inwardly, not wanting to make things difficult for him, he stood up and waved to Lin Youwen.

"You Wen, go review your lessons first. I will take your father and cousin to look for the headmaster."

Lin Youwen looked at his father and younger brother, then nodded and bowed respectfully and left. After he walked away, Li Cunxiao looked at the child again, and nodded with satisfaction at the calm look on his face.

"Brother Lin, take this child with you and go with me."

"Hey, thank you, Master Li."

Lin Yuanshan dragged his nephew along and followed him obediently to find the principal of Green Willow Academy.
