The male protagonist falls in love with me again

Chapter 39: Cannon Fodder to Marry Scholar: School

After Lin Datian passed the examination to become a scholar, he did not plan to take any higher exams because he knew he was not cut out to be an official.

So he chose to open a school in the village to teach children how to read and write.

Because he passed the imperial examination at a young age and became famous, children from several nearby villages were sent to him.

On the other hand, the male protagonist Ji Chen has already married the male protagonist Shou.

They live in the county town. Village chief Ji also resigned from his position as village chief and moved to the county town with his family. He rarely returns to the village.

Since marrying Lin Datian, Li Xiaoyao's life has become more comfortable and free than before.

When he was at his mother's house, although he was favored, he also needed to help with some housework, and he could not sleep in until noon as he did now.

However, it was completely different in the Lin family. Lin Datian took care of all the housework, allowing Li Xiaoyao to enjoy his leisure time to his heart's content.

Li Xiaoyao felt that Lin Datian was so good to him, obeying him in everything, and was simply a good husband.

Fortunately, the Lin family had already split up, and Lin's father, mother, and eldest brother Lin's family lived in the county town. Otherwise, if they saw Li Xiaoyao's lazy look, they might be dissatisfied.

……

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

At noon that day, the sun was shining brightly and Li Xiaoyao was sleeping soundly on the bed when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of someone reading.

Li Xiaoyao tossed and turned in bed, struggled for a long time, and finally slowly climbed up from the bed.

After getting up, Li Xiaoyao washed up, had lunch, and then staggered out of the lecture hall.

He stood outside the window and looked inside. He saw Lin Datian and a group of little kids reading with their heads shaking.

Li Xiaoyao watched this scene and found it very interesting.

Especially when Lin Datian called on a child to stand up and recite, the little guy actually recited the entire text word for word. Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but admire him secretly.

However, when Lin Datian pointed to the words in the book and asked the child to read them, the child looked confused and did not recognize a single word.

Lin Datian had a helpless expression on his face, and Li Xiaoyao couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Hahahaha... Isn't this exactly like when I was a kid? Li Xiaoyao recalled that when he was in school, his teacher always said that he was reading "white-eyed books" and only knew how to memorize things by rote, but couldn't recognize a few words.

Lin Datian heard laughter coming from outside and turned around to see that it was his wife leaning against the window, laughing so hard that she was bent over.

He glanced at the embarrassed student in front of him again, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

He asked the students to recite the text by themselves, and he walked out of the room and took his wife to the next room.

"My dear, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Lin Datian asked his wife to sit down and poured him some water attentively.

Li Xiaoyao glanced at him and replied with a smile: "If I sleep any longer, I'll get moldy."

Lin Datian suggested, "How about this? I'll take you to the county town to buy jewelry this afternoon, okay?"

His youngest son is lazy all day long. He thinks this won't work. He'll get sick from staying at home all day.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao asked in surprise, "What about your group of students?"

Lin Datian said as a matter of course: "Of course we give them half a day off."

When he first went to school, his teacher often did the same thing, giving them holidays, and then he secretly took his teacher's wife out for a trip.

Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows, not expecting it to be like this.

But he was very happy to go to the county town and immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go."

Lin Datian nodded and walked towards the next room. I don’t know what he said, but the children’s cheers immediately rang out.

Then a group of children ran out of the school with laughter.

Looking at these energetic children, Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh that it turned out that children in ancient times didn't like going to school either.

Come to think of it, the characters here are difficult to write. Although he knows the characters, he prefers to use branches to mark on the ground.

The words he wrote on paper were just a ball of ink. He had been able to read for many years, but he still couldn't write calligraphy.

……

When the couple went out, they saw a child outside the door. The child looked about five or six years old, with a pale face and very thin.

Li Xiaoyao found that he didn't know this child, so he turned to look at Lin Datian with confusion in his eyes.

Lin Datian patted his wife's head and explained, "This child is from the neighboring village of Yuanjia. His name is Yuan Mo. He is eight years old and lives with his widowed mother."

"This child is the most hardworking one in the school. Every time after school, he would stay for a while and ask me some questions that he didn't understand."

When Li Xiaoyao heard this, he suddenly realized, so that's how it is.

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Then you go and answer his questions. I'll go back to the house to get something."

You can't tell that the child is already eight years old. He is as thin as a five or six-year-old child. Li Xiaoyao still feels pity for him and wants to send some food to the child.

Lin Datian responded gently: "Okay~"

After watching Li Xiaoyao enter the house, Lin Datian walked towards Yuan Mo like a spring breeze.

When Li Xiaoyao came out, the two seemed to have finished their conversation.

Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and handed the basket to the child.

Yuan Mo didn't answer, but looked up at his teacher like a well-behaved kitten.

Lin Datian glanced at his wife tenderly and said to the student, "Take it."

Yuan Mo then accepted it and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Master's Wife."

Li Xiaoyao: "Yeah, good boy."

Yuan Mo and the master and his wife said goodbye and left. When he turned around, his eyes immediately turned red and tears flowed out like a flood.

He was afraid that he would never see his husband and his master's wife again. His mother had passed away, and his uncles would definitely not let him go to school anymore.

Yuan Mo wiped away his tears, feeling as if his heart was being bitten by millions of ants.

In order to let him study, his mother stayed up all night to embroider and sell money, and worried about him all the time. Unexpectedly, she didn't even get to enjoy the happiness, and passed away after a lifetime of suffering.

The family’s land was occupied by his uncles and aunts, and he himself didn’t know what to do in the future.

His uncles and aunts didn't like him, and he didn't have enough to eat every day. He definitely couldn't stay in that family anymore, otherwise his fate would be either starvation to death or being beaten to death by his cousins.

Thinking of what the teacher said about the capital being the most prosperous, Yuan Mo decided to go there and try his luck.
