When the stewed chicken was almost done, Hemai sprinkled a small amount of cilantro inside, while Shan Cao served the bowl to the side.

He scooped out the chicken, covered the steaming pot with a curtain and carried it to the dining table in his room along with the fried rabbit meat.

Shan Cao's Mom took the chance and came over. She quickly fried a green melon egg and fried soybeans, adding two more dishes to the table.

The table of people were seated, and were not too particular. Shanmu merely said a few polite words to wish for Yang Liulang and his wife to have a good time, and that sort of thing made Hemai blush a little.

The two families started to eat, Yang Liulang and Lu Changming the father and son adding fuel to the meal, drinking a few cups too many, everyone started to chat even more merrily.

At the table, Lu Changming talked about the school.

Shanmu was studying at the school in Qinglu Village, so he would be studying at the school in town next year.

In this town, the school's training for teachers was no different from when they were at Qinglu Village. At the very least, it was several times more expensive than the training for teachers every year. To farmers with Xiaoqing Village, this was not a cheap number.

The number of students with Xiaoqing Village who were studying could be counted. The eldest son of the Linn Family, Linn Helin, and the eldest son, Linn Hemiao; the son, Li Changxin; and the two sons of the Lee Zheng family.

In the village, these families had already been envied by countless others. To have extra money to support children in their prime and not farm, and to study instead, would be to pay a great price.

At this moment, Lu Changming became depressed, "This town is really expensive, I'm afraid the whole family will have to tighten their stomachs next year, hah, when will their days be better?"

Madam Qin advised: "Shanmu is a material for studying, the two of you are living a bitter life now, once Shanmu becomes famous, then your days will be better!"

Shan Cao's Mom laughed bitterly: "Yeah, isn't that how I usually advise his father? Hey, Shanmu, did you hear what the Granny Linn said? I must work even harder in the future! "

Shanmu solemnly nodded his head, and said in a soft voice, "Father, mother, don't worry. My family will use all of their strength to help me study, your son will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

Madam Qin sighed: "Chang Ming, if your family of four can stay together, even if you suffer a little, it doesn't matter! Eh, but my Helin … "

When the Old Granny mentioned Linn Helin, the atmosphere at the table turned silent. Shan Cao's Mom rolled her eyes at Lu Changming, as if to say that he shouldn't have talked about the repair in the town just now.

Although Hemai hadn't seen his brother Linn Helin for a moment, she knew that Linn Helin was reading books properly in the Academy. However, it wouldn't be so easy for him to study again next year. If he couldn't be certain, he would have to withdraw from the academy.

If I told him to study well in town, why would he quit? Wasn't it all because of Linn Changjun's death!

Before Linn Changjun's death, with the food and clothing of a whole six people from big to small in the house, and with Linn Helin and Linn Hemiao's cultivation in the town, when Linn Changjun died, no one left anything for Linn Helin to cultivate. And Linn Hemiao had Linn Changxi and his wife to support him, so he naturally didn't need to worry about the matter of the repair.

Shanmu looked at Madam Qin's pained expression and softly said: "Granny Linn, don't get angry yet. When I went to my uncle's house last year, I coincidentally saw Changxin coming out of the academy to help the teacher gather his stuff. I heard him say before that Helin was always praised by the teacher, that he had a good brain and hard work. I heard from him that Teacher might break the rules and keep Helin here, so he can do some odd jobs in the academy to make up for his mistakes! "

With these words, the atmosphere at the dining table immediately became jubilant.

"Really? My Helin, will he really be kept in the academy? " Madam Qin asked excitedly.

Shanmu smiled and nodded, as he said calmly: "Granny Linn, don't worry, Changxin is a steady man. If it wasn't for the facts, he wouldn't have told me."

"That's a guarantee!" Lu Changming smacked the table and laughed loudly, "Shanmu, from now on, you have to study hard with your brother Helin. You need to stay in the Academy and perform well!"

Lu Shanmu naturally knew what his father meant, "Don't worry Father, I will definitely learn from Helin."

When Hemai saw Madam Qin's joyous expression, she also became joyous as well.

If Linn Helin was really a sprout for studying quickly, regardless of whether he could get into high school or not, even if he was an Elementary Scholar, he would still be a good student in the future.

Usually, he would teach the children in the academy, take in and fix them, and then carry out some odd jobs like copying and painting. His days were definitely not better than when he came back to farm in the fields!

Her heart was filled with happiness as she turned around and whispered to Yang Liulang, "If there really is an Elementary Scholar in the family, then I'm afraid that would make grandmother happy the most."

"Mn," Yang Liulang also nodded his head, "Since he's your big brother, he naturally won't be bad."

Hemai was startled, a look of surprise flashed past her eyes, then she laughed. This man, she did not know that he could speak like that!

Yang Liulang also laughed, but he was angered by Hemai's laughter until his face became red, and he quickly took a sip to hide his red face.

After the two families finished eating, they sat for a while. Lu Changming drank quite a bit, with Shanmu and Shan Cao's Mom supporting him, he bid farewell to the old lady, and the family of four left the small cottage.

The only ones left were Hemai and Liulang, who were naturally unwilling to allow the old lady to clean up the mess on the table.

"How nice it is for you to come in and rest. I do these chores everyday, why do you need to touch them?" Hemai said softly to Yang Liulang.

Yang Liulang's hands continued to move without stopping, and only said: "In the past, when I was alone at home, I also did these chores myself. "Now that you're here, with an extra person to take care of me, can it be that I can still sit in my room and drink tea as if it's natural?" He leaned in closer to Hemai and said in a low voice: "Marrying a wife isn't to be an old lady, of course I have to cherish her."

Linn Hemai's ears had turned red from his words, and unnaturally lowered her head, as she muttered: "You already take good care of me on normal days, there's no need …"

Yang Liulang shook his head, "If you don't want to be at peace with me for the time being, then don't argue with me about these trivial matters."

Hemai saw that his tone was serious, and started to speak.

She sighed inwardly, not knowing whether her fate was good or bad. Not long after, her father was gone. Yet he was treated so meticulously by another person who had nothing to do with him.

After cleaning up the mess in the house, the couple sat down and chatted with Madam Qin.

Madam Qin looked at the two people sitting together, one was tall and sturdy while the other was petite and cute, with eyes that constantly overflowed with satisfaction and love.
