Listening to the words of the two sons, Li Jin's mind suddenly came to the words 'Frozen three feet is not a day's cold'.
His tan was not the result of the month either.
I studied at Mr. Song before. When I got up early and went out, I could wear the stars and the moon. When I went back at noon, I had to walk in the sun for more than an hour. Later, I went to Fucheng and read and practiced calligraphy day after day. He practiced calligraphy in the courtyard and the pool. On the other hand, sun exposure is inevitable.
It's just that I have been running around recently, I have spent more time in the sun, and the little buns know more and more things, and the previous scene has been created.
After Xiao Shan Leopard called the first sentence, his father's eyes widened and he said, "Shan Leopard will be called Daddy."
As for the inaccurately pronounced 'hey' at the end, he directly ignored it.
At this time, the second cub really said to face: "Dad!"
Although the pronunciation is still non-standard, it is very different from the '嗲嗲' that his brother called him when he first learned to speak.
The second cub would ask his father to completely erase the trauma Li Jin had just received.
The little bun was also completely unaware of what his brother said at the beginning. He said happily: "My brother can finally speak!"
Xiaoshan Leopard will speak, but it makes the festive atmosphere of the family approaching the New Year's Day more intense.
Qin Muwen asked Xiaocha to sew new clothes for the two children, buying high-quality cotton, and choosing fabrics of the same color. After the first day of the new year, they would change the clothes for the two children together, which was extraordinarily festive.
And Qin Muwen is sewing clothes for Li Jin to participate in the test, but there is no announcement about how many layers of jackets he can wear. Qin Muwen temporarily sews single clothes and semi-finished jackets. There was even a leather jacket.
Last year, when Wan Yun participated in the test, the imperial court stipulated that jackets could not be worn to prevent carry-on, and only single-layer leather jackets could be worn.
If the fabric and leather are not prepared early, after the announcement of the list in January, all the clothes shops in the capital will increase their prices, and they may not be able to grab it.
Seeing that the new year is approaching soon, Zhu Shan is still running to the dock every day.
Li Jin naturally went with him. There were few people on duty in the Ministry of Industry at this time. He started to make some fine-tuning of the ship model by himself. No one followed behind him, so he was very comfortable.
In the past, when Li Jin and Zhu Shan were doing things, they would always be surrounded by people, not to say they were staring at them and not allowed to touch them at will.
Those people also have the mentality of learning, but they have too much energy. Many times, Li Jin and Zhu Shan only have an idea, and there are a bunch of people around them asking questions, and sometimes Li Jin doesn't even know how to explain it.
The day before New Year's Eve, Li Jin and Mr. Zhu Shan stopped going out, but stayed at home for the New Year.
This is very clear to the member of the Qing Li Division, and he directly sent someone to send them 'New Year's goods' on this day.
Li Jin didn't know the situation on Mr. Zhu Shan's side. On his side, he had twenty taels of silver, one piece of leather, a small piece of huanghuali wood, and everything from rice, sea bass, and spare ribs.
The person who gave the gift was wearing the official uniform of the Ministry of Works. He smiled when he saw Li Jin. Li Jin recognized it. This person usually asks him the most questions.
"These are all New Year's goods arranged by Mr. Yuanwailang. I'm just running errands. Many people tried to snatch me, but they didn't. I would like to congratulate you on your high school in the coming year."
Li Jin smiled and said, "Thank you."
The man said: "Sir, it's fine if you don't think I'm annoying."
Li Jin looks like a stranger, but in fact, when he asks him something, he will answer patiently, and even some concepts and formulas are not clearly explained in his mouth, so he just draws sketches to explain.
Make sure the person asking the question gets something.
In just one month, Li Jin's reputation in the dock has skyrocketed.
Li Jin asked him if he had eaten. The man knew how to advance and retreat and said, "My wife and children are still waiting for me at home, and they will come to the door some other day to harass me."
The Department of Water Purification of the Ministry of Industry is not only in charge of shipbuilding, but also in charge of auditing, estimating and selling rivers, water conservancy, bridges and other engineering expenses.
Unbelievably rich indeed.
After the person left, Qin Muwen went to touch the leather. The material was neither thin nor thick, and the one side was smooth and blocked the wind, just enough to wear it for a test.
He said, "This is a better material than the one I picked, just enough to sew another leather jacket for my husband."
After Li Jin heard his words, he couldn't help but took his hand and walked to the main house: "The previous one is enough, Wen Wen, the candidates are only allowed to wear one leather jacket. This leather is reserved for you and Children make winter robes."
Qin Muwen wanted to explain, "But this material is better."
Li Jin said with a smile: "The imperial examination is all about knowledge and perseverance. The little difference in leather clothing can't change anything. Besides, there is a brazier in the numbered room, so it won't be too cold."
Qin Muwen looked at her husband who had been tanned a little, but was more calm and confident, only to feel that his heart was beating fast.
He has been married to her husband for seven or eight years and has two children, but looking at her husband now, he still feels that he admires him every moment.
That night, Qin Muwen nestled in Li Jin's arms, his thoughts drifting far and far.
Just after giving birth to the little bun, the husband and prodigal son turned around and studied hard to support the family. At that time, he didn't really like his husband much in his heart, but he also felt that this was enough between husband and wife.
Dad also often taught him that life is too long, and it is difficult to maintain a relationship for such a long time. Do your own thing, live well, be psychologically satisfied, and don't care about the opinions of others.
But later, in order to miss his husband, he would put the little bun in the house of an acquaintance, and go to the village alone in the evening to wait for his return.
Perhaps, from then on, he wanted more than just 'respect'.
Thinking of this, Qin Muwen's body suddenly reacted, and he was very close to Li Jin. Li Jin quickly noticed this subtle movement.
As a brother, no matter how late he develops, he is now twenty-one years old, and he will be twenty-two after the new year.
Before Qin Muwen could dodge, Li Jin had already pinned him down.
The oil lamp in front of the window is crackling and frying, reflecting the characters of blessing pasted behind the door, as well as various decorations in the house, which are so warm and heartwarming.
And the two of them were swept up on the Babu bed carved with flower, bird and fish patterns, and neither of them had the energy to pay attention to it.
On New Year's Eve, Xiao Baozi, Xiaoshan Leopard and Xiaocha each received a lucky money.
Xiao Baozi greeted the two fathers in a proper manner, and he could say a long congratulatory message without Qin Mu's education.
Now that he is only six years old, in fact, the steamed bun is only four and a half years old.
Li Jin planned to wait until his fifth birthday to teach him how to hold a pen. The brush is different from the modern pencil. Children have soft hands, and it is easy to make the bones crooked when pinching the pen too early.
After this year, Xiaocha will be fifteen, and when it is time to get married, Qin Muwen also asked him what he thought.
Xiaocha also knew that the master was doing it for his own good. That was the case in the court. When a woman or a brother was older, it was difficult to talk about kissing.
But Xiao Cha thought about it for a few days, but still shook his head. He knelt in front of Qin Muwen and said, "Master, Xiao Cha is willing to continue to serve you and my master. If Xiao Cha really wants to get married, I also hope that my husband was born in Hongyan Village..."
After all, Li Jin came from Hongyan Village. If he married a man from Hongyan Village, the other party would not bully him because of Li Jin's face.
Qin Muwen also saw what he was thinking and said, "It is reasonable for you to have this idea, but both parties have to let go of the marriage. I can't use the name of the master to bully others."
Xiaocha quickly responded: "Xiaocha knows, thank you, my husband."
On the fifth day of the new year, Li Jin brought dishes made by Qin Muwen and good wine to greet Mr. Zhu Shan for the New Year.
Zhu Shan's family had known Li Jin for a long time, took the gift from him, and politely welcomed him to the study.
Zhu Shan was originally solving a series of calculus, but Li Jin just came, so he rudely grabbed the strong man and counted it together with Li Jin.
In fact, the concept of calculus has not been introduced yet, but the problem of Zhu Shan can be calculated by calculus.
No wonder it took him so long to calculate less than half of it.
Li Jin understood the question, took a pen and paper, and began to recalculate.
The two were hungry, Li Jin Zhushan looked at the results from Li Jin's side, and after listening to Li Jin's explanation, he admired: "It's still a great cultivation."
Li Jin shook his head and said nothing.
In his impression, in his previous life, calculus was introduced and brought back to China after students studied abroad in the late Qing Dynasty.
In this day and age, arithmetic problems are somewhat similar to calculus, or even typical calculus, but because numbers and formulas are in traditional Chinese characters, it is actually difficult to calculate.
But Li Jin's reputation is not enough now. Strictly speaking, Zhu Shan's reputation is not enough to promote the use of Arabic numerals to solve arithmetic problems in this dynasty.
After all, not everyone is devoted to arithmetic, and not everyone is happy to introduce new things to solve problems.
Therefore, Li Jin's thought can only be temporarily put down.
At noon, Zhu Shan stayed with Li Jin for dinner, and there were his three sons at the dinner table.
Zhu Shan is forty-seven this year, his children are older than Li Jin, the eldest and the second are also on duty in the Ministry of Industry, and the third is still taking the imperial examinations.
Before Li Jin came, Mr. Zhu Shan's children had not returned home.
At that time, they thought that the person came under the banner of math and learning, but in fact, they wanted to go to the Ministry of Industry for a rich job.
After this period of communication, they also knew that Li Jin, like his father, was a truly learned person. Therefore, they also planned to meet Li Jin under the banner of the Chinese New Year.
But this generation is not easy to calculate, Li Jin thought, it would be embarrassing to be called 'uncle' by his peers.
Fortunately, they are also called 'sir' back and forth, completely avoiding the situation of elders.
The third child is twenty-three this year, one year older than Li Jin. He is already a scholar and is preparing for the township examination next year.
He has long heard that Li Jin is already one of the candidates for the competition at a young age, and since he is the same age as Li Jin, he is very close to him.
In the afternoon, when Li Jin went back, he saw that the list of items that could be brought in during the Spring Festival and the rules of the exam had been posted.
This year, as it was last year, only two single-layer robes are allowed, one of which can be leather. Jackets are not allowed.
He passed through the main street, and along the way, he saw many people in a hurry going in and out of the cloth village, it seemed that they were buying leather clothes.
When Qin Muwen heard the news that he couldn't wear jackets, he was rarely angry: "The exam on the ninth day of the second month is the coldest time, so it's too much for people to wear thicker clothes."
Li Jin comforted him: "Don't worry, I can handle it early this year."
Xiao Baozi was born in such a family and knew the importance of the imperial examinations. He said, "Daddy will be warm when he holds Xiao Baozi after taking the exam!"
Saying that, he held Daddy's fingers with his warm little hands, holding his head up, "Does it look like a small stove?"
