Chapter 372 The Landlord's Foolish Son and His Poor Dog 5
Aunt Zhang was in a good mood. She looked at her son and said, "Tomorrow, I'll ask Daniu to come and teach Goudan a few words."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li quickly declined, saying, "We won't delay Daniu's success in taking the imperial examination..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Aunt Zhang: "Well, I don't mind passing the imperial examinations, but we, Da Niu, don't have that blessing. We can just copy books nearby, teach children to read, and earn some money to support our family. Besides, Da Niu is willing to do it, right?"
Daniu, who had been sitting in the corner without saying anything, suddenly blushed when he was mentioned, and stammered, "Yes... yes."
Aunt Zhang glanced at her youngest son, feeling somewhat helpless. She turned back to look at Old Man Li and said, "My youngest son is just like his father, quiet and shy. Now he is nineteen years old, but still hasn't married. As a mother, I am very worried."
Ji Bai felt the gazes glancing at him from the side from time to time, and he ignored them and lowered his eyes to look at the rice in the bowl.
818 smacked his lips a few times, and then began to introduce the characters to him.
[Mrs. Zhang is now 54 years old. She had her child, Daniu, when she was 35. Daniu has not been in good health since birth and cannot do heavy work. In order to give him a future, the family gritted their teeth and sent him to a private school.]
[Daniu did not disappoint his family's trust and learned a lot. After returning, he taught the characters he learned today to his brothers' children. He also copied characters for rich families in the town to earn some money to supplement the family income.]
[Daniu and the original body are only three years apart in age, and their homes are very close, so they grew up together. ]
[But later, when they both grew up, they stopped playing together, because the original body had to accompany him to work in the fields, and Da Niu had to go to school in the town's private school. Today was the first time since they grew up that they sat together to eat.]
After 818 finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Daniu who had been peeking at the boss. After a while, his brows knitted together, and he turned on the screen while muttering: [The original book never said that Daniu liked Goudan. ]
According to its experience in several worlds, the way that Daniu looks at the boss now is that he likes the eyes of his own boss.
Da Niu's real name is Lin Feng. He has a handsome appearance and exudes a scholarly air, but he is far inferior to Brother Chu Xuan.
818's eyes suddenly became serious.
The boss can only be Brother Chu Xuan's!!
Although Brother Chu Xuan is a fool in this world, as long as he is there, no one can separate Brother Chu Xuan and the boss!!!
Thinking of this, when 818 looked at Daniu, there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Mr. Li said, "I still need to ask Momo's opinion."
As he said that, he turned his head to look at Ji Bai and asked, "Momo, are you willing to..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Bai shook his head and said, "There is still a lot of farm work to do at home."
Da Niu, who had been silent the whole time, stammered, "I...I can wait for you to finish your farm work and then teach you how to write later."
818 looked at him with his eyes wide open, and rolled up his sleeves, showing his chubby arms and gesturing in front of him twice, threatening: [Think carefully! The price of snatching people from my brother Chu Xuan is very heavy! ]
Ji Bai: .......
“duangduangduang——!!”
Ji Bai turned his wrist slightly, looked up at the person sitting opposite him and said, "Thank you, Brother Daniu, but after my grandfather and I finished working in the fields, it was almost dark, and my family...can't afford lamp oil."
Hearing his absolute refusal, the light in Daniu's eyes dimmed, and he slowly lowered his head and whispered, "I have..."
Aunt Zhang glanced at him, then looked at Ji Bai and laughed, "Oh, this kid still thinks that everyone has plenty of time like when they were kids."
Old Master Li scratched his head and said, "If Momo wants to learn, I can do the farm work by myself. If we work hard to save money, we can still buy some lamp oil."
818, who was squatting in the corner with his head covered, almost couldn't squat, but fortunately the three big bumps on his head hurt a little, as if warning him not to interfere.
In the end, it could only continue to squat in the corner with its head covered.
Ji Bai shook his head and said clearly: "I don't want to learn."
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang laughed heartily and looked at Mr. Li with some reproach, "Goudan feels sorry for you, an old man, working alone, and wants to share the burden with you. Can't you see that?"
After saying that, she tilted her head to look at Ji Bai again, and said with a comforting smile: "I understand your thoughts. You are a good child. I have watched you grow up. No matter what choice you make, I will support you."
She reached out and gently held his hand, then lowered her voice and continued, "Don't feel any burden. Auntie supports you."
Ji Bai raised his eyes to look at her, and saw different emotions in her eyes. He paused slightly, then nodded gently.
Aunt Zhang let go of his hand, raised her hand and gently rubbed his head: "You are so good."
Aunt Zhang looked up at Mr. Li and said, "When is Goudan going to get a wife?"
Ji Bai:.........
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li also became a little worried and said, "I am worried about this too."
In that era, boys could get married at the age of fifteen. Momo was very handsome, and the girls in the village would be shy when they saw him. However, his family conditions were obvious to everyone in the village, and no one was willing to marry their daughter to him, so the marriage was delayed for two years.
Aunt Zhang consoled her, "Don't worry, Momo is only sixteen, right? She's still young. The silly kid from the landlord's family is twenty-three now, and he still hasn't married or had children. The landlord isn't in a hurry, so we don't need to worry either."
At this point, Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's true. But I heard that the landlord's silly son is extremely handsome and his family has countless wealth, so why hasn't he married and had children yet?"
Aunt Zhang glanced at Daniu, who was eating silently, and said, "Daniu, you have been in the town for a long time and have been to the landlord's house. Do you know what's going on?"
The mentioned Daniu looked up and bumped into the beautiful black eyes of the good-looking man. He paused slightly, his ears turned red, and he stammered: "I don't know much about this matter. I also heard from my classmates that it was...that stupid son didn't want to get married."
