[Comprehensive wear] Baiwei life

Lin Dali is an immigrant. When he came to this village, he had nothing. He earned most of the property of the old Lin family, including the fields. Before his two sons were able to work in the fields, he had already purchased 30 mu. .

In the middle process, in addition to working hard, he also used some shady means, but he dared not do anything that violated the law.

For him, the little grandson is the hope that in the future he can change the name of the old Lin family and honor his ancestors, but the land is his lifeblood. At this age, he can no longer earn a fortune like he did when he was young. Rely on this land for the elderly.

To put it bluntly, I don’t know when the natural disaster will happen. The little grandson has a talent for reading, but if there is an accident, let alone changing the family of the old Lin’s family and honoring the ancestors. It is a matter of not being able to pass on the family line.

Therefore, Lin Dali couldn't cut off his way out just for the sake of hope.

But at the same time, he is still confident that his little grandson will be able to win the exam in the future. As long as the disaster does not happen that day, he will be able to win the exam sooner or later.

Lin Dali didn't want to cut off his way out, and at the same time he didn't want to cut off that hope.

"It's not impossible, but when our family separated, the big house was not very satisfied, and didn't give it a tael of silver. If I suddenly sell a few acres of land to raise money for you to go to the government school Studying, the big house has to make a fuss, you don’t know who your uncle is, she can do anything, you are a scholar, your reputation can’t be stained, if I sell the land here, in case of trouble Get up, isn't the gain outweighing the loss?" Lin Dali said with a troubled expression on his face.

When the family was separated, it was written clearly on the paperwork that the 96 taels of silver and 10 mu of land belonged to the second house, 30 mu of land to the eldest house, and 20 mu of land to the old couple.

Although the old couple are provided by the second family to take care of them, the 20 mu of land is under his name. Lin Dali just added an insurance policy for himself at the time just to be prepared, but he actually used it unexpectedly.

The little grandson can go to the government to study, or he can sell the land, but he can only sell the land under the name of Erfang.

Lin Mu didn't understand what the old man meant at all, and now he sighed sincerely, and he didn't blame his father for being embarrassed, he knew about his sister-in-law's temper, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, for fear that the family's ugliness would not be publicized.

Lin Xi understood what he heard, and couldn't help but feel a little chilled. Since the old man has already planned to live with them as the second wife, why should they share each other? Besides, the old man doesn't want to let him study. hope.

He failed the rankings twice, but he didn't look at what conditions his family provided him. The pens, inks, papers and inkstones were all the most common ones, and after he was selected as a scholar, he kept studying at home, and he didn't even think about giving him money. Go out to worship famous teachers.

As for the candidates who won the exam, some went to the government school, some went to the state school, and some went to the academy, all of them were taught by famous teachers, and they were more informed about the examiner than he was.

Can you blame him for not being able to win the exam? The conditions are not as good as others.

Lin Xi was full of complaints, but now that he was under the eaves, he had to bow his head.

"Isn't there still 10 acres of land under my father's name? If I sell the land under my father's name, my aunt has nothing to say. The family has already been separated. Even if my aunt makes trouble, it doesn't make sense."

What's more, the whole family has moved to the county seat.

Good idea, Lin Mu felt relieved, "Then dad will sell the land under my name, sister-in-law can't say anything."

Lin Dali pursed his lips, and paused for a long time before agreeing, "Then do as you said, Lin Xi's studies are important, and he can buy the land when the family is gone."

Lin Mu felt uncomfortable. Their family was a single family in the village, and his father had worked his hardest to earn all the wealth. It would be unfilial for him to sell it like this.

"Listen to Dad, we don't understand this matter, so we will trouble Dad to explain it. Son, you must study hard after you go to the government school, and don't disappoint Grandpa's expectations of you. For us farmers, the most important thing is The fields are gone."

At the thought of selling the land, his heart throbbed with distress, and his father would definitely feel even more uncomfortable. After all, his father earned the land with all his efforts.

Lin Xi was equally uncomfortable. When the old man used this trick to coax his uncle and cousin, he didn't think it was a big deal, but it was really enough to change the object to his father.

It would have been better if we hadn't separated.

The big house has taken away everything that can be taken away, ranging from small needles and threads to large tables, chairs and benches. Although there is no shortage of furniture in the rented yard, Lin Ze plans to live in the county permanently. If you don't go back to your hometown, you won't go back to your hometown, so the less things left in this house, the better.

But in this way, it took a lot of effort. Lin Ze rented three carriages, and originally wanted to hire a few people to help, but the six brothers of the Liu family came directly to help without saying a word.

Well, it must be about leasing the land, and Lin Ze didn't stop him. There will be more opportunities to work together in the future, and it is good to have contacts.

The move of the big house of the Lin family is so powerful that it has become the topic of conversation among the villagers in the past few days. When it comes to the Lin family, the person who must be mentioned is Lin Xi, who failed twice.

If people's psychology is so strange, they were the ones who were sure that Lin Xi would be selected before, and they almost praised them, but now they are also the same group of people who secretly ridiculed Lin Xi for failing.

The Lin family during this period is destined to attract attention.

A few days after the first Lin family moved out, the second house directly sold eight acres of land. Although it is not the best fertile land, it is not bad land either. It is said that it was sold for more than 40 taels of silver.

A few days later, the second room of the Lin family gave birth to a boy, named Lin Qi. When they were in the third room, they didn't know if they didn't have time to inform the first room, or the relationship between the two parties had already reached the point of mutual contact. At the ceremony, I didn't see a single person from the Lin family.

Lin Qi was not yet full moon, so the grandfather and father packed up their bags and went out to Fucheng, leaving only the old, weak, women and children of the whole family.

However, no matter it was because of Lin Dali's reputation or Lin Xi's fame, no one dared to provoke him.

Lin Ze has never heard of the news of the birth of the child at all, and no one has sent the news at all, but if you count the days, the child of the second room should also be born, and it takes three years of pregnancy to have a child, which is only in fairy tales The normal thing is that the pregnancy of a normal person generally does not exceed 11 months.

But the second room didn't send a letter, so it's too unreliable to ask them to go back to the village eagerly to inquire, besides, he is already planning to prepare for the county examination in February next year.

First of all, a person who only went to school for three years and then went home to work in agriculture, if he wants to take the county test, he has to find a natural reason for himself. According to normal logic, it can be said that the past can only be done, it can't be a dream Get advice from others, or come up with a whim.

In addition, to participate in the county test, you need to find someone to be a guarantee. There are two ways, mutual bond and bond. The former requires five candidates to guarantee each other. If one person cheats, then these five people will be eliminated at the same time. This is a risk It’s really not small. If Lin Ze doesn’t know the basics, even if Lin Ze is at ease with others, others may not be at ease with him.

Lin Ze’s childhood classmates have long since lost contact, and some scholars who came to bookstores to buy books also have to take the county test, but they are not very familiar with each other, and they check their character one by one. unrealistic.

The latter does not need to have so many people, it is enough for a natural person to come forward as a guarantor.

The so-called endowment refers to a scholar who ranks first in grades, and Lin Xi is an endowment, but even if Lin Ze finds a few more people to make friends with, he doesn't want to ask Lin Xi.

Fortunately, there is more than one student here, and Lin Ze is working in the bookstore, such a place with such a privilege, it is not difficult to meet a student. As for how to get the other party to agree, or even propose, it is You have to use your brain.

After planning for half a month, under Lin Ze's careful design and deliberate show-off, Wang Xiucai was eager to show off his talents, and he really took the initiative to propose, "Your knowledge is quite solid, it's a pity if you don't take the exam. If you don’t intend to be an official, nor do you plan to be a gentleman, it’s better to have a reputation than nothing.”

Lin Ze didn't pretend to be hypocritical at the moment, "I'll tell you the truth, I work in this bookstore, and I have met many book friends back and forth, and I have been reading and copying books, and I also want to go to get a reputation in the past Try it, but there is no acquaintance, so there is no one who can guaranty, I know you are a natural student, if you are willing to guaranty for me, I can go to the county examination, these few times deliberately write different words in front of you Books are also designed to attract your attention."

"On purpose? Let me tell you, why do you write different books silently every time you come here, and the difficulty is getting higher and higher every time. It's quite intentional, but I'm not going to guarantee it for everyone. How about it? If your answer satisfies me, then I will guarantee you, and I will not charge you a copper coin." Wang Xiucai was also from a peasant family, so he could accept Lin Ze's behavior.

People are different. Some people are born with everything and can get everything they want, while some people have to fight for everything. If they don’t fight for it, they have nothing.

Lin Ze had no reason to disagree. Even after investigating Wang Xiucai, he expected that the other party would have such a request.
