This Second Male Lead Has Something Special
Chapter 53
Su Lin walked out of the Su family yard and headed for the hillside on one side.
There was a lot of pig grass there, and Bi Qiao usually went to that field.
Sure enough, not long after walking, he saw a figure sitting on a stone pier, with his hands under his chin, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Su Lin walked over and shouted: "Bi Qiao, how much is left? I'll take care of the rest... OK, I'll do it."
He looked at the basket and saw that there was nothing in it.
It turned out that the girl was sitting here in a daze.
Su Lin cut the pig grass with a sickle, and he did it in a very professional manner.
These jobs were not unfamiliar to him.
After a while, he had cut half a basket. Su Lin had just stood up, and the girl in front of him came over with a small handful, "Here."
It just happened that it was enough to fill a basket with what she had.
Su Lin said: "Go back."
Bi Qiao looked to one side and whispered: "I'll go back later."
Su Lin didn't suspect anything, nodded and planned to carry the basket home.
But not long after walking, he looked back and saw Bi Qiao walking towards the mountain.
Taimin Village has a good terrain.
There are high mountains on one side and lakes on the other. A long time ago, there was a famine, and the villagers survived with the mountains and lakes.
It is also obvious that there are many fish and shrimps in the lake and many animals in the mountains.
Similarly, there are many birds of prey.
If they are not really hungry, few villagers dare to take the risk to go up the mountain. After all, there have been rumors of big insects eating people in the mountains.
Su Lin frowned when he saw Bi Qiao really going up the mountain.
In the memory of the original body, Bi Qiao was a bought child bride, so even if no one in the family bullied her, she was extremely uneasy most of the time.
She was afraid of being driven out, so she was particularly diligent.
Even if the work in hand was finished, she had to find some work for herself, or sneak to the mountainside to see if she could try her luck and meet some pheasants and rabbits.
For this reason, Su Jianyi was proud of picking up this girl more than once.
There is one more person to feed, but the work is very efficient. This girl is also lucky. She can encounter some wild goods from time to time when she goes out, and her family can still eat meat.
Anyway, what Bi Qiao did, in Su Jianyi's eyes, is to add points for herself.
She is thick-skinned enough.
Su Lin frowned because no matter how good Bi Qiao's luck is, there will be times when she fails.
She went to the foot of the mountain many times to try her luck, and she really encountered a raptor once. Fortunately, the little girl was nimble and climbed up the nearby big tree to escape.
Later, when the family saw that the person had not returned, they called many villagers to look for him.
Fortunately, there were many people who went, otherwise they would not be able to work together to kill the hungry wolf staring at Bi Qiao.
The original body was very impressed by this.
It was really dangerous, but the stewed wolf meat was also very fragrant.
Even if it was a little sour, it was still meat.
Su Lin didn't hesitate much, and walked towards Bi Qiao with the basket on his back. He had to talk to the girl. Even if he didn't go deep into the mountains, he couldn't go to the foot of the mountain often.
Who knows if he will encounter a bird of prey again?
After following for a while, Su Lin found something wrong.
If she just went to the foot of the mountain to try her luck, Bi Qiao could walk straight up.
But she was always looking for a direction.
It felt like she was looking for a location with a purpose, but she was not too sure, so she stopped many times to look around and gestured with her hands.
It felt a bit strange.
Su Lin thought about it, walked up and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Bi Qiao was startled and waved her hand quickly: "No, no, I, I just..."
Su Lin looked around and said, "It's not safe here, let's go back first."
At this time, Bi Qiao looked in a certain direction, said nothing, but her cheeks were inexplicably red.
Su Lin looked in her direction.
After seeing this, he immediately reached out and pulled Bi Qiao down, and the two squatted in a long grass.
Just in front of them.
There are two figures.
A man and a woman, two people... cough cough.
It was a little far away, Su Lin just glanced at them quickly, and didn't see clearly who the two people were.
"Why is Uncle Su Shun with Widow Chen?" Bi Qiao whispered.
Su Lin frowned.
Su Shun?
Isn't this the male protagonist's father?
Su Lin slightly popped his head and looked at the grove in front of him. The two adults were entangled together, and it was really hard to tell who was who.
In the original body's memory, the male protagonist's father did not cause such a thing.
Even in the book, the male protagonist's father is considered a positive character. The male protagonist's grandfather is the original body's great-uncle, and the great-uncle is really partial.
The male protagonist's father is not a foolish filial person. Even if his parents are partial, he can do everything he can to get everything for his wife and children.
It is difficult for farmers to support their children to study, especially for children whose elders are not partial.
The male protagonist can go to the academy, and it really depends on this father.
Even the original body had expected that his father would be Su Shun.
But what happened now?
Su Shun and the widow of the village went into the woods?
They actually bumped into him?
Su Lin turned his head and looked at the girl beside him, "Did you do it on purpose?"
"What?" Bi Qiao looked surprised, as if she didn't understand what he said.
Su Lin looked at her for a few seconds, stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to go home after cutting pig grass."
"...Okay." Bi Qiao responded in a low voice, and followed behind him very sensibly.
The two left one after the other without caring about what happened in the woods.
They didn't hide, and didn't care whether the people in the grove would see their backs. According to Su Lin's idea, if they saw them, they would see them. He wouldn't be the one to be afraid.
"Wait, is there any sound?" Su Shun pushed the person on him away, and was so nervous that he didn't have any thoughts. He quickly closed his untied clothes.
"Who is there? Who dares to run to the foot of the mountain now?" Widow Chen came forward, looking a little impatient. She hooked Su Shun for a long time. After finally getting her hands on him, she was reluctant to let him go so quickly.
Holding Su Shun's hand, she fell to her chest. As a result, Sun Shun didn't know what he saw at this time, and he squeezed it nervously.
"Ah ah!!!"
A scream was heard from a long distance.
Su Lin seemed not to hear it and continued to walk forward.
Bi Qiao, who was a few steps slower than him, stopped and resisted turning back, but the corners of her drooping mouth slightly curled up.
It was a while before the two returned to the Su family yard.
After Su Lin finished cutting the grass for the pigs, he went to feed the pigs. After a while, a cursing voice came from the house, "You are going to die. You only know how to eat every day. You don't work much but eat a lot. It's really unfortunate for our Su family to have someone like you."
The one who cursed was the old lady of the Su family.
The one who was cursed was Jia, the original mother.
It was time for dinner. Jia asked the old lady to get food to cook, and was scolded.
It was not just Jia who was scolded. This happened almost every day. The three daughters-in-law took turns to cook and were scolded.
But they liked this job.
The old lady was reluctant to give up the food that was getting less and less every day, but she still had to give it the right amount.
The three sisters-in-law who cooked, as long as the old lady was not paying attention, would get some benefits more or less.
Not much, sometimes just a small handful of porridge or a small half of a sweet potato.
But when they were not full every day, giving the children an extra bite was also a happy thing for them.
Jia was not unhappy at all when being scolded.
If she were to choose, she would have wanted to be scolded every day so that she would have a chance to eat more.
That's right.
The other two sisters-in-law secretly left a bite of food for their own children.
But she was different.
She didn't care about her man or her son. She couldn't even take care of her son, so she naturally wouldn't care about her future daughter-in-law.
While the old lady wasn't paying attention, Jia secretly took a bite of the sweet potato she took out.
She didn't care if there were any teeth marks on it. No one could find it if she cut it with a kitchen knife.
No...
Bi Qiao found it.
During dinner, she saw at a glance that there was an obvious tooth mark on the small half of the sweet potato that was given to her.
You don't need to think about how it was left.
She really couldn't eat it, so she simply hid it in her sleeves, waited until everyone finished eating, and walked to Su Lin when no one was paying attention, "Brother Su Lin, you eat it."
As she said that, she stuffed the small half of the sweet potato into Su Lin's hand.
The tooth marks were so obvious that Bi Qiao would naturally notice Su Lin. He stared at her without saying anything, but conveyed his feelings with his eyes.
Are you serious?
Bi Qiao acted as if she didn't see it, and she blushed slightly, "You must not be full, I, I'll save some for you."
After saying that, she turned and ran away, as if she was shy.
"Tsk tsk, isn't the wife I found for you good? I feel sorry for you before you even get married." Su Jianyi came over and patted his son's shoulder, "You must thank your father in the future. If I hadn't been smart and found you a wife as soon as possible, you would have been single for the rest of your life."
Su Lin glanced at him indifferently, "Dad, you should go read a book, or do you want to rest early and continue working tomorrow?"
"...Who said I don't read a book? I'll go now!" Su Jianyi rolled his eyes at him, thinking that he had to be more serious these days, so as not to be caught by his family, otherwise the old man would really not let him go to school.
Su Lin was too lazy to pay attention to him.
According to the original body's memory, the old man did not indulge Su Jianyi to continue studying this time.
But Su Jianyi was stubborn and used his classmates' methods to survive for another three years.
Su Lin did not stop the development of this matter.
If he wanted his father to strive, there was really no other way except to study.
In short, he was too useless and could not do anything, but at least he was smart. The reason why he always ranked last in the school assessment was because he did not study seriously.
As long as he was serious, not to mention the long-term, it should be no problem for him to pass the exam to become a scholar.
Su Lin thought it was no problem.
There had to be no problem. However, before supervising his father to study, he always had a doubt in his heart.
Looking at the half sweet potato stuffed into his palm, Bi Qiao felt a little strange.
There was no such time to share food before.
This small piece of sweet potato is not a snack after dinner, but the main meal of the day. Adults who do heavy work need two more cakes, and children, in addition to sweet potatoes, have a bowl of very thick porridge and two plates of vegetables.
Even if you finish all of these, you may not be full.
Not to mention that they kindly gave away a small half of the sweet potato.
Su Lin looked at the teeth marks on it. Was this really kind or disgusted?
Su Lin was not sure what Bi Qiao was thinking, but it was obvious that he couldn't eat it. Just then, a cousin passed by and stuffed it in his hand.
Just as he was about to reach out and touch his head, the little cousin looked at the sweet potato in his hand with wide eyes, as if he was worried that someone would snatch it, and ran away quickly.
"..." Su Lin retracted his hand.
He suddenly felt that his task was quite heavy.
In addition to watching my father read, I also have to think about how to keep the family full.
As usual, you can think of a few modern snacks and meal recipes to make money.
Having good cooking skills is one of the best ways to make money quickly.
"Tell me, how come Widow Chen's life is so good? She married a man. Men are nothing, and they always beat people. As a result, Widow Chen's husband fell into the water and died within two years. She had a girl at her knees. She thought they were mother and daughter. The two of them were having a hard time. I never imagined that her daughter could be so powerful and make a lot of money at such a young age." Aunt Su said with admiration, "Didn't you see that Yin Huan just came back from town and brought a lot of things? There are several bags of grain alone.”
Widow Chen?
Su Lin thought of the grove at the foot of the mountain.
"So powerful? How can Yin Huan make so much money?" Second Aunt Su marveled and couldn't help but inquire more. If a little girl can make so much money, then they can too, right?
"They say they are selling pastries. We can't even eat what rich people eat. How can we have money to sell pastries?" Aunt Su sighed, "Why do you think she thinks like this? Why do we just Can’t think of it?”
Su Lin looked strange when he heard this.
pastry?
This way of making money is too familiar.
Wait a moment...
If you put it this way, wouldn’t Widow Chen’s daughter be transported through time?
He didn't believe that people really came up with it for no reason. As his eldest aunt said, people in the farmer's family didn't even have enough to eat, let alone use the ingredients to make cakes.
It is difficult to try to make it unless you already have a recipe for pastry in your mind.
Su Lin seemed to be curious and asked: "Auntie, has Yin Huan always been this good?"
When he spoke, there was admiration in his eyes, and in the eyes of Aunt Su, he was a child who wanted to make money like Yin Huan.
Thinking about it this way, she felt a little regretful.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have said it at home. If Su Lin also wanted to make some cakes, wouldn't it be a waste of food?
Aunt Su quickly said: "How can she be so powerful? Wasn't Yin Huan a very dull girl before? Her mother was also powerful, otherwise she wouldn't have kept the family after the man's death. No matter what, our family and Their family is different, they can’t waste food.”
Immediately afterwards, Su Lin asked some more questions.
Then I learned that Yin Huan had an accident a few months ago and almost died.
Obviously, those who survived the catastrophe must be blessed later, which led to these changes.
"By the way, Yin Huan picked up a child a few days ago." Aunt Su remembered something and sighed: "Their family's life is really getting better and better, and there is still food for the picked up child. "
Su Lin was now sure that there was something wrong with Yin Huan's origins.
If I remember correctly, the male protagonist of the imperial examination is time-travelling, and now there is a supporting character who has time-traveled, and he...
Good guy, has this little world become a sieve?
After dinner, it's basically time to go to bed.
According to calculations, it was only seven or eight o'clock in the evening, but there were not so many entertainment projects in ancient farms. After eating, I would sleep, and I would have to do heavy work early tomorrow morning.
Not to fulfill his original wish, Su Lin felt it was necessary to improve the conditions at home.
However, others were asleep, and oil lamps were still burning in one room.
It was a small room at the back of the house.
A specially built bookstore.
Most of the farmyards are crowded, with more than a dozen people living together, and several people living in each room.
In order to give Su Jianyi a quiet place to read, Mr. Su and his two sons built a simple bookstore for him behind the house.
This is the first time in the whole village.
Su Lin knocked on the door and walked in directly.
Before the people inside could say anything, he spoke first: "Dad, where are you reading?"
Su Lin entered so quickly that Su Jianyi didn't even take his legs back from the desk. Instead of reading, he was clearly leaning on the chair in a daze.
"You kid! Why didn't you say hello when you came in?" Su Jianyi was furious and put his legs down again. "My legs are a little sore. Put them down and relax."
Su Lin said "Oh" and then found a place to sit down.
Su Jianyi looked at him in confusion, "What are you doing? Don't bother me here and go to bed quickly."
"I'm not tired. I want to read a book with dad." Su Lin said, "Dad must be lonely alone. I will stay with you from now on."
Su Jianyi just felt that his head was big, why did he need someone to accompany him?
He would be in a daze when no one was around.
He waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go, let's go, I don't need you to accompany me."
Su Lin sighed, "Then let me tell dad the truth. I'm here to keep an eye on you. If you don't study hard, I'll tell grandpa."
"You're so brave, aren't you?!" Su Jianyi stood up, wanting to roll up his sleeves and hit someone.
Su Lin got up and walked out, shouting loudly: "Master!"
"Hey, hey, shut up!" Su Jianyi stomped his feet angrily, and he really wanted to call the old man over, but he would not get any good results.
"Grandpa!" Su Lin shouted again.
He called out everyone in the Su family directly.
"What's the fuss about at night?" Mr. Su complained, but he didn't even button up his coat when he ran out. He was obviously worried that something had happened.
But when he rushed to the back room, looking at the panicked Su Jianyi and the sullen Su Lin, Mr. Su did not ask what happened, but said to the others, "You go to bed first, we have to get up early tomorrow to work Live."
After driving the man away, Su Jianyi whispered, "Dad, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. I was reading well, and he suddenly rushed in to cause trouble."
"Grandpa, I've made up my mind!" Su Lin clenched his fists tightly, as if he had made a major decision, "I want to be Dad."
Su Jianyi was puzzled.
What does it mean?
Want to be him?
Suddenly, Su Jianyi's eyes widened. Could it be that this kid wanted to go to a private school like him?
That won't do.
Although he had never taken care of family affairs, he also knew that in this situation, the family could only afford to support one person to study.
But he couldn't give way just because Su Lin was his son.
"Dad! This won't do. I've studied for so many years. It's better for me to study hard for another three years than to train Su Lin again." Su Jianyi made a promise in a hurry.
His classmates had already given him an idea, but if his family really decided not to let him study, then he really had no choice.
He continued, "I will study hard this time, and I will definitely pass the exam and become a scholar in three years."
Su Lin glanced at him, "Didn't Dad study hard before?"
"..."Su Jianyi was choked.
If he was told this, he really didn't know how to respond.
Grandpa Su looked at Su Jianyi's frustration, and there was no reaction on his face, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
In fact, the old man understood what his grandson meant.
He wanted to be like Su Jianyi, not because he wanted to go to a private school like him, but because he wanted to be more relaxed.
If he didn't like his grandson's useless words at the beginning.
Now he couldn't help but think more.
Did he really do something wrong?
Even a kid could see that his father was hiding and not doing anything, could other people in the family also see it?
Then did they also have complaints in their hearts?
Of course there were.
If it was when he was young, he would be exhausted to death, and all the money he earned would be spent on his brothers, dragging his wife and children to starve with him.
After paying so much, what he got in return was that his brothers lived a leisurely life, without having to do any heavy work, and all the money had to be spent on him.
Don't think too much, he will get angry and want to beat someone up.
Su Jianyi was glared at by the old man, and he hunched his neck and dared not speak loudly. He was familiar with the old man's eyes. Every time he wanted to beat someone up, it was this vicious look.
Old Master Su suppressed his anger. He ignored his youngest son and said to his grandson: "We are farmers. We can't leave this land in this life. I overestimated him at first. Now I think everything is a wrong decision. Don't think about your father's situation. He will have to work with us in the future."
It was obvious that he didn't want to indulge anymore.
Su Jianyi was scared to death, "No, just give me another three years, and I will definitely pass the exam in three years."
