Because there were not many people, they did not eat at separate tables.
Chu Jin had been taught by Chu Heng not to talk while eating.
Now that Teacher Lin was here, he did not dare to be presumptuous and was especially quiet.
Chu Ziluo ate her meal obediently.
Chu Heng raised his wine bowl and toasted Teacher Lin.
Master Lin took a sip and realized that it was not too spicy and the alcohol was not strong. It seemed that Ye Muyu was not lying. He rxed a lot. After all, he was really afraid of getting drunk.
“Schr Chu, sorry for disturbing you today. Did Zhongjin cause you any trouble?” Teacher Lin said politely.
“It’s just a child,” Chu Heng said. “It’s not troublesome at all. Teacher, don’t worry about it.”
“I heard that you’ve gone to look tor other schrs in the afternoon to be a teacher at the vige school. Did you find anyone?” Chu Heng asked.
Teacher Lin nodded. “Yes, I found him. He’s Schr Wu from the county. However, he has to substitute for Schr Liu. He’ll only be free to teach at the vige school after Schr Liu finishes the provincial examination.”
“Schr WII?” Chu Heng pondered. “Schr Wu isn’t young anymore. Plus, he’s a local. There won’t be any need for him to take the imperial examination. He’s quite suitable. Teacher Lin is thoughtful.”
Teacher Lin had actually been looking for someone long ago. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach an agreement in an afternoon.
“That’s right. I have the same idea. The children in the vige are very smart. Moreover, the children want to study and their parents are willing to send them. It would be inconvenient if there is no teacher here for a long time.”
“Although Schr Wu is a little older and his lectures are more old -fashioned, he can still help the children andy a solid foundation for them. When the children are older, it will be much easier for them to go to the county school.”
“It’s also because of this that even though Schr Wu is teaching for Schr
Liu, it’s only one ss a day. It’s not necessary, but it’s not good to offend Schr Liu. So, he can only wait until after the provincial examination beforeing to the vige school to teach.”
“Schr Chu, don’t worry. During this period, I will continue to teach in the school until Schr Wues.” Teacher Lin promised. He was not someone who did not care about his responsibilities, so he naturally would not leave just like that.
Chu Heng was relieved when he heard this. He no longer needed to find a ce for his son to study.
He was going to attend the provincial examination, so it would be inconvenient to send Chu Jin to the county school. Teacher Lin was very thoughtful.
“Teacher Lin is very thoughtful. Chu Heng cheers to you.” Chu Heng raised his wine bowl and toasted Master Lin.
The two of them then talked about Chu Jin’s studies.
Chu Jin felt as if he had done something wrong, and he was a little flustered.
Ye Muyu smiled when she saw the child’s frightened look. She did not disturb him. After all, both of them were doing this for Lil’ Jin’s own good.
Unknowingly, Teacher Lin had eaten too much for this meal.
Under Chu Heng’s deliberate control, he did not drink much.
Lin Zhongjin was the same. He was full.
After dinner, the sky darkened. They could barely see the road withoutnterns.
Teacher Lin stood up and said goodbye.
Chu Heng asked Lu Chuan to send them off.
Teacher Lin smiled and declined. “Schr Chu, there’s no need. I’ve already troubled you today. This ce is close to the school, just a few steps away. There’s no need to bother sending us off. We’ll walk back in a few steps.”
“Then be careful on the road.”
Lin Zhongjin followed behind him. Chu Ziluo caught up with him and ced a small jar in his hand.
“Sister Ziluo, what is this?” Lin Zhongjin looked at her in confusion.
“Have you forgotten?” Chu Ziluo smiled. “It’s the honey grapefruit tea that we drank at noon..”
