Teacher Lin could only sigh and helplessly accept the gift.
“Madam, please.”
“The two children are reading in the house.”
“Lil’ Jin is becoming more and more sensible now. It’s still Madam who taught him well.’
“If this continues, Lil’ Jin will definitely be able to become a scholar. However, it’s too early to say anything. I hope that Madam can keep Lil’ Jin’s sincere desire to learn.”
“I will try my best.” Ye Muyu could tell that Teacher Lin thought highly of Chu Jin.
She also felt that this child was not stupid. On the contrary, he was a little smart. In the past, he was playful, so his intelligence was hidden. She only felt that he was insensible.
Now, under Chu Heng’s strict control and the change in teaching methods, he slowly stopped playing and was willing to take the initiative to study.
Ye Muyu knew that Teacher Lin was not just being polite.
Hearing this, Teacher Lin nodded his head, finally relieved.
After the provincial examination, he would leave. He had watched Lil’ Jin grow up, and he was Lil’ Jin’s first teacher. Naturally, he hoped that Lil’ Jin would walk a long, honest path in the future.
As the two of them spoke, they arrived outside Lin Zhongjin’s room.
The room that Lin Zhongjin stayed in was used by Teacher Lin to store his miscellaneous items. It was surprisingly big after being tidied up. It was even bigger than Teacher Lin’s library.
One had to know that Teacher Lin had a lot of books, and the library was filled to the brim.
Teacher Lin was a book lover.
Logically speaking, he should have used the big room, especially Lin Zhongjin’s room, which was facing the sun and was suitable for storing books.
Although Ye Muyu was surprised, she did not ask too much. After all, this was someone else’s private matter, so she did not ask too much.
“Zhongjin, Lilt Jin, Mrs. Chu is here.” Master Lin stood at the door with a faint smile on his face.
He had always been very strict, but ever since Lin Zhongjin came, the smile on his face had increased a lot.
“Mother!” Chu Jin and Lin Zhongjin were sitting cross-legged on the bed, reading a book. When he heard Teacher Lin’s words, Chu Jin quickly got off the bed and ran toward Ye Muyu, hugging her leg.
Ye Muyu was knocked back two steps by the child, and Madam Hu was quietly supporting her.
Ye Muyu smiled and rubbed Chu Jin’s head. “Did you trouble the teacher today?”
“Mother, sorry for the trouble. The teacher cooked some noodles with soy sauce for me. It’s delicious.”
“Then remember to be filial to him in the future.” “Mother, I know. I helped wash the dishes after the meal.”
“Not bad.” Ye Muyu was a little surprised.
Chu Jin was very happy to be praised. He even proudly pouted at Lin Zhongjin behind him.
Lin Zhongjin ignored him and bowed to Ye Muyu seriously. He had already changed out of his kasaya, but he was still dressed very plainly. The black robe made him look very heroic.
Although Lin Zhongjin was only ten years old, he was five feet tall, only half a head shorter than Ye Muyu.
At this rate, he would probably have the grace of a young man in a few years. Ye Muyu admired him a little when she saw his mature and steady personality at a young age.
“Zhongjin, you don’t have to be so polite. Aunt still wants to thank you for teaching Xiao Jin.”
“Madam, Zhongjin has something to ask,” Lin Zhongjin said frankly.
“What is it?” Ye Muyu could not help but feel interested.
Lin Zhongjin did not answer immediately. He reached out and took a book from the bed and handed it to her. “Madam, I asked the uncle in the village to help me buy this book from Madam’s shop..”
