Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

Lin Ze, who sells cakes and bread, knew that sooner or later someone would come to his door, but he really didn't expect that the first one to come was his uncle who hadn't seen him for many years.

What was even more unexpected was that Lin Dakun didn't care about relatives at all, and directly made Lin Sangui dizzy because of his prescription.

Lin Ze is a soft-spoken character. If he is not sure, he will nod and agree if he is not sure. Kindness makes money. As long as he can make money, he doesn't want to cause trouble. After all, the Lin family has a simple background, and it is still possible to monopolize things. troublesome.

But now that Lin Ze's temper has come up, he is going to eat this big cake by himself, and no one is going to take a piece of the pie.

"Father, you don't need to worry about Lin Dakun's side, and you don't need to be angry. If Xianleju wants to swallow it, I have to see if it has the ability..."

Lin Ze directly explained to Lin Sangui with a cold face.

It's not that he hasn't encountered this kind of vicious competition before, and if this can't solve it, he's still messing around. Besides, his reputation has recovered now, and if he starts a private school, there are many people in Nanyang Town who want to befriend him.

However, the owner of a mere dim sum shop, even if it is a time-honored brand of several generations, the status of a merchant in this era is not high, as long as he operates well, the fame of a small scholar can overwhelm the other party.

This is the class of this era, scholars, farmers, businessmen, otherwise why ordinary people are trying so hard to take the imperial examination, because fame brings many benefits.

But Lin Sangui was still not at ease. After all, in the eyes of the villagers, the townspeople were already very important figures.

Lin Ze looked at Papa Lin's worried expression, and he didn't hide his clumsiness anymore, he showed a hole card to comfort him,

"It doesn't matter, there are more than just Xianleju's bosses in the town. After the rectification banquet, I will have half of the Nanyang town's members stand by my side. If Xianleju wants to survive, it's best not to mess with it." I."

Such a tone of voice is not insignificant.

The people in the room didn't know about Lin Ze's private school plan, and they were secretly surprised.

Even Lin Jianwen stared at Lin Ze with eyelids twitching. His eyes were cloudy and uncertain. He found that he was becoming less and less able to see through Lin Ze as a big brother. Thinking of what Lin Ze said just now to kill him, he suddenly felt a little sweat on his back ...

There are many people in this room who are not his own, so Lin Ze will naturally not explain too much.

After comforting Lin Sangui a few words, he told Lin Xiaolian to take good care of her. Finally, she gave Lin Jianwen mother and son a warning look, and then called Lin Erbo to leave together.

As for Zhang Yinzhu, Lin Ze didn't pay attention from the beginning to the end.

Before leaving, seeing Zhang Yinzhu's resentful expression, and his eyes expressing the expression of "you are a heartless man", Lin Ze shuddered, thinking that sometimes being too self-absorbed is really a very serious disease.

After leaving Father Lin's door, Lin Ze and his wife did not go home, but went to each other's house with Lin Erbo.

The purpose is naturally to talk about the workmanship of the dessert shop.

Lin Ze had already thought about this matter. After the dessert shop opened, Zhang Yu and Luo Ge'er alone would definitely not be able to keep busy, and Lin Ze was also reluctant to let his wife be too tired.

Therefore, the two little brothers mastered the dessert making skills. As for other laborious tasks such as beating egg whites and whipping cream, they naturally had to find someone to replace them.

The He family still has people handpicking, but eggs can't be put in one basket. It doesn't make sense to keep asking outsiders and not asking your relatives to pay attention to the family in ancient times.

I didn't mention it before, but Lin Ze was watching the reaction of his second uncle's family.

Although he doesn't hang around in the village and stays at home all day doing things, Lin Ze is not deaf to what's going on outside the window. He knows what happened in the village and what he talks about.

Fortunately, the second uncle of the Lin family didn't disappoint him. There was nothing troublesome in the family, so calling for help probably wouldn't cause trouble for him.

"...Just do odd jobs, be a second-in-law, just give, a few hundred cash a month?!"

Lin Erbo's family was knocked out by the sudden pie, and their mouths were as big as eggs.

Lin Ze invited a total of four people from their family. The two sons prepare the kitchen work, and the daughter and younger brother greet the guests in the front hall. The former is 300 Wen per month, and the latter is 200 Wen per month.

This is the basic salary. The final salary depends on performance. If you do well, you will get a bonus. If you do well, you will be deducted from wages.

Although it is a bit more expensive than other people of the same level in the town, it is not much higher.

After all, it’s not true that Lin Ze doesn’t really spend too much money, he still has to pay according to the market conditions, except for special positions, and now he just pays more for the face of his relatives.

But this is really a big deal for Lin Erbo's family, because if you want to go to the town to make money, you have to have connections, and the second child is a tight job!

After being dumbfounded, Lin Erbo hurriedly nodded in agreement.

He doesn't think about others, but if Lin Ze is willing to take the initiative to pull their family, he naturally has no reason to refuse. Who doesn't want a better life at home, sons, daughters and brothers are all waiting for money to marry.

Zhang Lihua, who was slightly shaken by the messages in the village before, was even more moved and guilty. She always thought that Lin Ze had forgotten her relatives, but they all missed her.

That's right, both Lin Sangui and Jiang Rongniang are kind, how can their children have no conscience, only Chen Shuju can teach Lin Jianwen.

Zhang Lihua burst into tears of gratitude, she couldn't help feeling a little bit better after suffering too much...

Lin Ze couldn't bear other people's tears the most. Seeing that Zhang Lihua's red eyes were about to lose water, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Yu back home.

I was really tired after running outside all day today.

Moreover, Lin Ze drank a lot of wine when he ate at Li's house. Although he was not drunk, he was still slightly drunk and panicked due to alcohol, and his energy was low.

When I got home, I hurriedly fermented the dough for making bread. After the ingredients were ready, Lin Ze washed it casually and went straight to bed.

Zhang Yu was in good spirits because Li's mansion didn't drink during meals, and seeing Lin Ze's rare tired appearance couldn't help feeling distressed.

Although Lin Ze has never complained of being tired these days, the blue and black eyes under his eyes are an obvious sign of fatigue. He has to write teaching plans and private school plans late every night.

After boiling the water again, Zhang Yu wiped Lin Ze's body with a hot handkerchief, and massaged his legs, feet and arms for a while.

After finishing all this, Zhang Yu blushed slightly and kissed Lin Ze's lips before filling the oil lamp and taking out the book that Lin Ze had marked in pinyin for him to read silently for comprehension.

The husband will become better and better, he can't be too far behind, he must work hard to keep up, so that those who spy on his husband will retreat obediently in the future.

"Msanggong said that there will only be Ah Yu alone in this life..."

Under the light of an oil lamp.

Zhang Yu turned the pages of the book lightly, looking at Lin Ze who was sleeping soundly on the bed from time to time, whispering with a reddish smile on his face.

It wasn't until late at night that the oil lamp was burned out that the well-behaved boy yawned and closed the book, took off his coat and climbed into bed, leaned into his husband's arms, put his arms around the chest that brought him safety and support, and fell asleep...

******

Lin.

Today, the Lin family is also doomed to have no way to rest early. Although the villagers who came to help before helped clean up a lot of stalls after the wedding banquet, there are still some trivial things.

For example, the preservation of leftovers and cleaning the yard are all done by the host himself, unless you are willing to spend a lot of money to hire someone.

Originally, according to the rural custom, the leftovers at the banquet were packed away for willing guests or helpers, but because the Lin family’s finances were relatively tight recently, Chen Shuju quit. Leftovers stayed.

Everyone in the family thought it was not good to do so, and it would not be easy to get along with in the village in the future, but Chen Shuju has a hot temper, and without Lin Sangui's pressure, she would be showing off her might.

But it's a pity that this is all in the past. Ever since Lin Ze came, Chen Shuju found that her good days are coming to an end.

When Lin Ze was around, she couldn't please her, and when Lin Ze wasn't around, she still couldn't please her. Why?Because there is a daughter who is against her!

Chen Shuju couldn't figure out why her own daughter didn't kiss her, and why she listened to her deadly enemy.

She kept the leftovers from the banquet, but she didn't want to hide from the cleaning work at night. Lin Xiaolian stared at her with big eyes that were exactly like hers, monitoring her like a radar, and she was so angry that she was almost dead.

Considering that today is a good day for her son to get married, and the wedding night in the bridal chamber, the soundproofing of the house is not good, and a disturbance will inevitably make her son and daughter-in-law unhappy. Chen Shuju can only hold her breath, feeling even more displeased with her daughter.

"Wait, girl, I will marry you off tomorrow!"

Chen Shuju has said this countless times.

In the past, Lin Xiaolian was afraid because she was afraid, but she wasn't that afraid, but now that Lin Jianwen is married, it's her turn to get married in the next marriage.

Looking at Chen Shuju's ferocious gritted teeth expression, looking at Lin Sangui lying in the room, and thinking about the fact that her second brother was about to leave for scientific research, Lin Xiaolian felt a little uneasy.

"Wait and wait, you are not alone in the house!"

She replied to Chen Shuju equally aggressively, Lin Xiaolian rolled her eyes, and hurried to the kitchen to make medicine for Lin Sangui, regardless of whether she was tired or not in the middle of the night.

Since Lin Ze's separation, she has seen clearly the faces of her mother and second brother. In contrast, her father and elder brother, who used to feel bad, always remember her at critical moments.

Lin Xiaolian is not particularly smart, but her IQ is still qualified. In addition, Chen Shuju loves her second son since she was a child, and Father Lin loves her eldest son, so she ignores her a little. Kung fu practice is very proficient.

In short, judging from the current situation, it must be right to follow Dad and Big Brother!

By the way, I have to keep a close eye on my mother. My mother seems to be not quite right recently. She is always mysterious and doesn't know what she is doing...

In addition, I have to talk to my father about the marriage, and it's better to settle it early, so as not to let my mother ruin it.

Well, when the time comes, I need to find someone from the village who knows all about the roots and is in the right family. It would be great if I can be as good-tempered as my elder brother. Brother Yu is really happy now, and he must not be like the second brother, who is so negative...

Looking at the flames of boiling medicine in the platform, Lin Xiaolian played with her braids, full of sweet fantasies about the future.
