Chapter 391: Your Big Brother Studied Himself Silly!

cried, then scolded harshly."What wind did Lao Si get into, breaking my granddaughter I'll fight him to the death!"As a result, Old Li Si actually carried back a dairy goat, grinning widely and laughi...Seeing his grandmother and younger sister arrive, Jiaren was overjoyed. He couldn't wait to bow before them and exclaimed, "Grandmother, Mr. Peng took me to meet Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang praised me for my talent and said that from now on, I should go practice calligraphy with him for an hour every other day!"

The old woman was confused with one man on her left and another on her right, but as long as her grandson was happy, she was happy too. She repeatedly agreed, "Good, good, I will definitely study hard in the future."

Zhao Yuru, having spent a long time in the academy, knew it very well. She explained to her mother-in-law at this moment.

"Mother, this Mr. Tang is the famous calligrapher who excels at writing with his left hand. Many people come to the academy hoping he will give them guidance, but it's said that Mr. Tang refuses to see anyone."

"I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be willing to teach our child. It seems that Jaren has talent, and he is a person who values talent."

The old woman finally understood and her face lit up.

"Oh, then shouldn't we prepare a gift to show our thanks We can't let them teach our children for nothing!"

Jia Ren was a little shy and smiled back, "Grandma, Mr. Tang said that he's getting old and doesn't plan on taking on any more apprentices. He just wanted to give me some guidance."

"Silly boy, we didn't give you a pittance, it's just a thank-you gift," Li Lao Tai chuckled, patting her grandson. "Think carefully, does the old gentleman have any preferences Like paper, ink, or someone's calligraphy"

Li Lao Tai thought that all scholars had such preferences and was already thinking about asking Mr. Wen to help her choose.

Jia Ren thought for a moment and said, “I've heard from my classmates in passing that Mr. Tang is fond of cultivating flowers, especially orchids. He’s quite obsessed with them.”

Orchid

The old woman and Zhao Yuru looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.

The Li family was born into a humble farming household, ordinary people.

To be honest, our whole family is struggling just to survive. It's hard enough to eat and have clothes, let alone afford orchids. I've never even seen one...

This is awkward!

But, there's still the omnipotent chubby girl around~

After listening to the commotion for a while, Jiayin immediately set her sights on the space nursery.

With this artifact in hand, as long as she gets orchid seedlings or seeds, within a few days, she can make the orchids in Li's family flourish everywhere.

Not only can you give it as a gift, even using orchid leaves to stir-fry dishes is possible!

"Big brother, big brother, I will plant flowers!" Jia Yin pulled on her big brother's long shirt forcefully, trying her best to make herself noticed.

Jiarren was afraid that his younger sister would pull down his pants, so he quickly picked her up and laughed as he coaxed, "Okay, okay, big brother knows that Funiu will plant flowers. The flowers Funiu plants must be very beautiful. Big brother will come back and take a look later, okay"

Evidently, he treats the flowers his sister has in her mouth as wildflowers from the mountain.

On ordinary days, Jia'an, Jiaxi and the little boy Mao Ge went up the mountain to play mischievously. Whenever they encountered pretty wildflowers, they would dig them up and plant them at the foot of the wall.

The last time I went home, Jia Ren saw me, so now the siblings are talking at cross purposes and aren't on the same page.

Li Lao Tai and her granddaughter understood each other perfectly. They immediately grasped the granddaughter's meaning.

She was afraid her granddaughter would blurt out something inappropriate, so she quickly snatched her granddaughter into her arms. "Don't worry about your big brother, he's gone silly reading too much. When we get home, grandma will help you plant flowers."

Jia Yin gave grandma a big kiss.

Get out of the way, you imbecile! Only Grandma understands her.

Jiarren didn't know that he had been disliked by his sister. He hurriedly finished his lunch, played with his younger brother for a while and then went back to the academy.

Old Mrs. Li instructed him, “For Mr. Tang’s gift of thanks, don't worry about it. Just wait for it to be prepared at home and we will send it to you.”

"Thank you, grandma."

Jiarou led Ligao into the study. Ligao was still a little reluctant to leave.

But thinking about how his older and younger brothers would all be studying at the academy from now on, seeing each other every day, he went to class happily.

Gou Sheng'er was left behind.

First, Jia Ren's classmates were attending class, and he didn't have anything urgent to do. Second, he hadn't seen his parents in a long time and wanted to spend more time with them.

Soon, the students who came to eat also left. The whole shop became quiet. After everyone had a simple meal, they were going to check out the new courtyard.

Lao San hurried back from outside. Seeing his son and nephews and niece, he shoved the hot glutinous rice cakes over to them. "Eat up, just out of the pot," he said.

Homepeace, Homejoy, and Meow were overjoyed. Homejoy exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Father!"

Home An and Cat Brother also jumped up and shouted, "Thank you, Third Uncle!"

Jia Yin split a piece of glutinous rice cake and climbed onto San Bo's broad back.

Thus, she could eat steadily with one hand holding the sticky rice cake.

Li Laosan carefully dodged his niece's blow, his eyes filled with concern.

The family was busy with work. The husband and wife were busy running around, taking care of two nephews in addition to their own duties, leaving no time to visit the little niece at home.

He, this uncle of hers, couldn't bear to see his niece suffer. He was deeply troubled by this.

Carrying the hefty little girl on his back, listening to the smacking sounds of her eating something sweet, he finally felt a bit better.

This time, Dongmei and Yechan stayed behind to watch the shop, while the rest of the group went out through the back door.

Jiā Anfen gave Goureng two pieces of niangao and then, with Jiaxi and Mao Ge'er, started running ahead while eating. They pulled the niangao apart as they ran, causing Li Lao Tai to yell repeatedly, "Don't eat and run! Be careful you get a stomach full of wind!"

The originally quiet alleyway was lively because of the family's presence.

Not having walked far, the crowd arrived at the courtyard diagonally across from the shop, which was Li Laosan's newly bought home.

Most of the residents in Lu'an Town are scholars or the families of students, and their households are not large.

So, the courtyard here isn't very large.

Throughout the entire town, there were only a few houses with three courtyards, about ten with two, and the rest of the hundred or so families all had single courtyards.

The Li family courtyard was very well-built, and it was well-maintained on a daily basis. The paint on the doors and windows was all very new.

And there's a main house, east and west wing rooms, even a small kitchen nook and other essential spaces. There's even a well in the corner of the courtyard – though humble, it has all the basic necessities.

There are three main rooms, and three wing rooms on both the east and west sides. Excluding the hall for living, entertaining and receiving guests, there are six rooms available for habitation.

Even if all five boys lived at home, there would be more than enough space.

It's convenient and quiet to come back for a meal at noon and in the evening.

After Jiahuan and Wenjuan got married, they were given a room. Wenjuan wanted to be able to go back to her parents' home easily whenever she wished.

Wu Sanniang had no mouth to speak with, but her praise was clear. "This courtyard is really good, it must be comfortable to live in."

Lao Li looked around and was very satisfied. She couldn't help but sigh with her son and daughter-in-law, "People really can't see the future. Think about when our family first arrived in Qingshui Village and we had to sleep under a big tree at the village entrance. At that time, I was holding Funiu in my arms, and I just thought that even if there was a broken straw hut, it would be nice for us to have a place to stay."

"Who would have thought, just a few years have passed, and our family now has a large courtyard in Suijin Beach, a small courtyard in the city, and now another one here." is a natural instinct for women, regardless of age.Yueya'er squeezed out of Mrs. Wen's arms and ran forward, gently touching the skirt hem, then turned back to her mother with a coquettish smile."Mot...
