This year, the father and son accompanied Su Wan to celebrate his birthday and then left Licheng. They did not stay in Licheng for long and passed through Shangyang City to go outside the country.
Li Lin took his son to the nearest Nanqin, went to a small town, and lived in a lively and ordinary alley. He told the outside world that his family was in trouble, and the child's mother's family did not allow her to follow him, so the family only He and this bastard were left to depend on each other, living here, which was very pitiful.
The father-in-law said that he would not be able to take the child back to his mother until he was successful and became famous.
Mr. Li is very familiar with this business.
Ashi Zaizai, who has never seen the world, stared at his father dumbfounded. When there was no one else around, he couldn't help but said: "Mother said, you can't lie and deceive people. Dad, you are wrong to do this. Besides, , when did our family fall into despair?"
"If you still say that, be careful that grandpa will break your legs."
Although Ashi Zaizai didn't understand it very well, he felt that it was a bit sad that his grandfather had such a son-in-law.
Back then, his father had deceived his mother from his maternal grandfather. If it hadn't been for the blessing of his ancestors, his legs would have been almost broken.
Ashi Zaizai cast a condemning look at his father.
Li Lin lifted up his sleeves, which were a little white from washing, and reached out to pat his kid's head: "It's impossible to tell the truth in anonymity. If that's the case, what's the point of experiencing it? It's to experience it in a different identity. This is a different life.”
"In this case, there has to be an explanation. Now it's just us, father and son. We can't say that your mother is dead, nor can we say that your mother kicked us apart because she disliked poverty and loved wealth, so I feel wronged by you. Grandfather."
Father-in-law, I really feel wronged to you.
Ah Shi Zaizai thought about it. Although it was a bit disrespectful to arrange the grandfather, the mother was more important.
Grandfather, I feel sorry for you.
So the father and son settled down in the alley. Within a few days, Li Lin found a job as a teacher in a nearby school. Mr. Li was also very skilled at this job, and he quickly got started. Along the way, he taught his son Taken in.
Before leaving for school, he also told his son: "Ashi, you must remember, you are no longer the noble young master of the Li family, but the son of a down-and-out scholar. You must study hard and play with everyone, okay?" ?”
"I, I know..." Ashi Zaizai looked at his father's face while holding his little book bag. He didn't know why, but felt a little frightened in his heart. He always felt that something terrible had happened.
Finally, he followed his father to the school anxiously.
The results can be imagined.
The school was completely different from what he had imagined. In his eyes, the school was at least a building with clear windows, new and tidy books, and cleanly dressed students.
But here, the school is just three old tile houses. The academy originally had two teachers. Many of the books were copied by the teachers. Sometimes they were shared by several students, and the students were dressed in shabby clothes.
Paper is a precious thing and cannot be wasted casually, so water is used as ink when practicing calligraphy. There are several large rocks in the small courtyard. This is where students practice calligraphy.
Ashi Zaizai, who has been living a good life, was so shocked that he couldn't recover all day long. In addition, these babies are still young. Although some understand the importance of reading and literacy, some cannot control their children's nature. They think about it all day long. Play, chatter and make noisy noises.
Ashi Zaizai was so noisy that his head was buzzing, as if there were so many bees buzzing in his ears, which scared him so much that he covered his ears tightly.
But even if he was reluctant and his father didn't say he wanted to leave, he didn't dare to say that he felt that life was a bit uncomfortable. If he wanted to go home, he could only live day by day.
Half a month passed like this, and Ashizaizai sighed at the two dishes on the table: "There is no meat, Dad, you want to eat meat."
Ashi Zaizai has a bit of a sweet tooth and is not really keen on meat, but now he has not had a bite for half a month, and the food he eats is not very greasy, and his face has become visibly thinner.
"I don't have any money." Li Lin glanced at him indifferently, "I'll steam an egg for you tomorrow."
When the father and son came, they brought a box with them. The box contained a few sets of clothes and some enlightenment books. There were not many more, and they only brought a few taels of money. This was the daily routine of renting a yard. If you want to eat again, your hands will naturally be tight.
Life was so good in the past. Even though he knew that life was difficult for ordinary people, he didn't feel it at all. He had to experience the difficulty for himself. Li Lin planned to take him through such a life for two years.
However, life like this is still relatively good. Li Lin plans to take him to farm in two years. Only then will he know what it means to "work hard for every grain" and experience what it means to not have enough to eat.
At that time, he would not dare to think about why there was no meat to eat today.
Brat, just wait, now is the beginning.
Ashi Zaizai twitched the corners of his mouth and tried to negotiate: "I have money."
Li Lin turned to look at him: "Do you have money? Did you bring it out yourself?"
Ashi Zaizai has his own small treasury. He now has his own monthly money every month. Although it is not much, it is definitely a lot. However, he does not spend much on weekdays. At most, he only uses it to buy some snacks. and small toys, let his mother save them all.
But before he came out, Li Lin said that he was not allowed to take money secretly.
"No, no." Ashi Zaizai felt that if he didn't explain clearly, his father would be angry, so he had to close his eyes and betray his teammates, "Uncle Yuanyou gave it to Ashi to eat something good."
When I came back this time, Yuanyou, Huaisha and Mr. Xue all came together. They are also in this small town now, but they don't stay with their father and son, and they live some distance away.
However, Yuanyou missed Zai Zai and waited for Zai Zai on his way home from school. He felt that the young master was suffering, so he reluctantly spent the money he spent on roast chicken this month to replenish Zai Zai's health and eat something good.
"Dad, I didn't bring this out. I asked others to give it to me based on my ability. I can't give it back, can I?"
Li Lin thought for a while and said: "It is true that you gave it to others based on your ability, but they are not good at it, but I didn't agree before, this time, it will not be the same next time."
Ashi Zaizai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I, I want to eat meat. Uncle Yuanyou said that Du's roast chicken is very delicious. This is the money Uncle Yuanyou paid for me to buy the roast chicken."
Seeing how happy he was, Li Lin had no choice but to agree: "Bring me the money and buy it for you."
Ah Shi Zaizai happily handed over the money. Li Lin glanced at it without saying anything. He didn't know if Yuanyou had no money or something. It was really just the price of a roast chicken, and he didn't bother to say anything. .
When Achi was sleeping at night, he had a sweet dream of eating roasted chicken. The roasted chicken was so fragrant that it even woke him up from his dream.
