The male protagonist falls in love with me again

Chapter 119: The male protagonist of the sadistic article takes the imperial examination: As he wish

After deciding to send his two children to school, Old Man Li rushed to the Lin family that night and asked Lin Sanlang how much tuition was required for the school run by Mr. Ji from the neighboring village.

When he learned that the annual tuition for one person was three taels of silver, and that one had to provide one's own writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, the old man Li couldn't help but gasp.

He knew that scholars spent a lot of money, but he never expected it to be so staggering.

Although many people can afford the tuition, the price of the ink, paper and inkstone is really high.

Fortunately, my family now has money from selling ginseng, so we are a little better off. Otherwise, it would be difficult to support us.

……

The next day, Old Man Li took his two children to Lijia Village with the gift of becoming a disciple.

"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good..."

Before entering the door, the old man and two children heard the sound of reading coming from the yard, which was as clear and pleasant as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in the valley.

Old man Li knocked lightly on the door. After a while, a middle-aged woman came over and opened the gate.

After the old man Li explained his purpose, the woman warmly invited them into the yard.

Li Xiucai is in his forties. He looks gentle and has excellent conversation skills.

After briefly asking about the two children's situation, he smiled and nodded in agreement.

Old Man Li hurriedly took out the carefully prepared gift of apprenticeship. Mr. Li declined it briefly, but then happily accepted it.

Afterwards, he led Old Man Li and the two children into the study and formally accepted the two children as his students.

In the following days, the two children followed Li Xiucai and started their enlightenment journey.

……

It's been a month since I started school.

Li Xiaoyao sighed all day long and would often complain to Lin Qu about how miserable his life was.

Lin Qu was very intelligent and made rapid progress. Li Xiucai liked him very much and often praised him.

Look at Li Xiaoyao again...

Oh, I won’t say anymore. I always get distracted in class and always fall asleep.

Li Xiucai talked to him many times and even beat him with a stick, but Li Xiaoyao was quick to admit his mistake and made the same mistake again as soon as the class started.

If it weren't for Lin Qu's sake, Li Xiucai would have dismissed him long ago.

Li Xiaoyao actually wanted to study hard, but when he saw the densely packed words on the books, he felt sleepy and really couldn't concentrate on learning.

He also told his family that he didn't want to go to school anymore, but it was of no use, and he was even spanked several times by his father.

Because it is not far from home, except for the first half of the month, Li Dashan would pick up and drop off the two children to and from school. In the following days, they walked to and from school by themselves.

After school that day, the two brothers went home as usual.

Li Xiaoyao felt hungry just halfway through the journey.

"Brother Lin Qu, I'm so hungry."

Lin Qu took out the water bottle from his bag and handed it to Li Xiaoyao.

"Brother, drink some water and you can eat when we get home."

Lin Qu had no choice. The bread he brought in the morning was eaten by his younger brother at noon, and now neither of them had anything to eat.

Li Xiaoyao took a big gulp of water and wailed loudly, "Ahhhhhh!!! I'm so hungry!"

Lin Qu patted Li Xiaoyao's head and comforted her, "Hold on a little longer, we'll be home soon."

"But I'm really hungry..." Li Xiaoyao looked at Lin Qu pitifully, his stomach rumbling.

Lin Qu sighed helplessly and said, "Then let's walk faster. We can eat earlier if we get home."

So the two brothers quickened their pace and trotted all the way home.

Li Xiaoyao was running while complaining: "Why is the school so far away..."

Finally, they saw the familiar door of their home, and Li Xiaoyao jumped for joy.

"We're home! We can finally eat!"

As soon as he entered the house, Li Xiaoyao went straight to the kitchen.

Only after eating and drinking enough did Li Xiaoyao feel alive again.

……

The next day, before dawn, Lin Qu washed up, heated up the cakes that his grandmother had left for them last night, and went to wake up his brother.

"Brother, hurry up and have breakfast."

"If you're late, the teacher will punish you by making you stand."

Li Xiaoyao turned over and continued to sleep soundly, mumbling, "I don't want to go to school. Brother Lin Qu, go by yourself."

Lin Qu felt helpless and shouted several times in succession.

It’s a pity that Li Xiaoyao covered his head and ignored his words.

Lin Qu sighed and had to go to the school alone.

When the Li family was about to go to work in the fields, they heard a "creaking" sound. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Xiaoyao rubbing his sleepy eyes and walking out of the house.

Everyone was shocked!!!

"Yao'er!"

"younger brother!"

"Little one, why didn't you go to school?"

Li Xiaoyao and everyone looked at each other in surprise.

The old man Li said, "You all go back to work. I want to talk to my youngest son."

After everyone in the family left, Old Man Li frowned and stared at the little guy standing in front of him.

"Little one, do you really not want to go to school? Don't regret it."

The child said several times that he didn't want to go to school, but they didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was just playing around. They didn't expect that the child actually skipped school.

Li Xiaoyao pouted in grievance and nodded.

"Grandpa, I really don't want to go to school. Just let Brother Lin Qu go. I really don't want to go."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Li sighed deeply.

"Forget it, I won't go to school anymore. I'll go tell Mr. Li later."

When Li Xiaoyao heard this, he immediately became excited: "Thank you, Grandpa!"
