Chapter 267 Follow-up (3)
"What's the matter?" Da Lang asked pretending to be ignorant.

"Your grandfather, you want us to go back to worship our ancestors, and then hold a banquet to entertain the folks in the village. It's also a joy for you. What do you think?" Lin Erniu put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said.

Sisters Lin Xiaoqiao and Mrs. Li listened to the conversation between their father and son without interrupting, and continued to pick up vegetables and eat as if nothing had happened.

After Dalang heard Lin Erniu's words, he didn't make a sound for a while, and said after a while: "Father, it's not such a big deal to be admitted as a scholar. Why should we do things with such fanfare? Sacrifice Haven’t we already offered sacrifices to our ancestors? Why do we need to set up wine and hold a banquet?”

After Lin Erniu heard this, he couldn't tell whether the eldest son agreed or disagreed, so he said, "Father knows what you said is right, but your grandpa also has good intentions and wants to make fun of you all, so you can do it." Don't reject his offer."

Lin Xiaoqiao was holding vegetables in his hands, but his ears were still listening to their conversation. It could be seen that Lin Erniu was quite persistent this time.

At this time, Erlang said: "Father, stop joking! Some of our classmates in the school are also admitted to the scholar, but they are not big. They still read books and practice calligraphy every day, as usual. And , Our husband also specifically told us that a scholar is just the beginning of our scholars, and there will be successes such as Juren, Jinshi, and even the champion in the future, waiting for us to move forward, so this examination of a scholar is not too much to celebrate Mr. told us, don’t be proud, and let us come back and tell our family members, don’t deal with those meaningless things, the most important thing is to study well in a down-to-earth manner. At that time, it would be better to have a drink to celebrate!"

Lin Erniu was silent for a moment after hearing the youngest son's words, and then asked hesitantly, "Is that what your husband really said?"

Dalang knew that his father usually respected people with knowledge like Mr., so he highly respected what Mr. said, so he made up such a lie and asked Erlang to say exit.

Seeing Lin Erniu asking him this way, Erlang nodded without any hesitation in order to convince his father, and replied, "Yes, sir also said that we are still young and our temperament is not stable enough, so What's more, we can't fix those celebrations or something, that will enhance our vanity and disturb our concentration on studying."

Seeing his second elder brother telling these lies in a righteous way, Lin Xiaoqiao frowned, wanting to laugh.

Lin Xiaoqiao felt that, just like their father, he was so easy to deceive because of his single-mindedness.

Sure enough, after Erlang finished speaking, Lin Xiaoqiao secretly glanced at his father's expression, obviously he believed it.

Taking advantage of Lin Erniu's silence, Da Lang went on to say: "Father, my son still wants to say something, I remind you. Our family has become quite famous in the town for more than two years." , the business of the shop is good, and our two brothers have passed the examination as a scholar, and many people know about it. So at this time, my son still thinks that our family should keep a low profile, otherwise we will recruit someone with a heart Jealousy or something is not good."

The two brothers took turns to fight, and Lin Erniu heard what he said, so after thinking for a while, he said: "You are right, it seems that we should keep a low profile. In addition, we have to listen Don't congratulate me with what you said, the most important thing is for you two to sit down and study with peace of mind."

The two brothers Dalang Erlang, after hearing this, looked at each other quietly with the mother and daughter Li, then nodded seriously, and said to Lin Erniu: "Father, don't worry, we two brothers must study hard and strive for success." Get your name on the gold list as soon as possible, and when the time comes, you and your mother will be honored when you return home."

Lin Erniu looked at his two sons and felt very relieved when he said such ambitious words, so he said with a smile: "You two are good-looking, father can have a son like you. I'm really relieved. Let's forget about running wine in the village this time, I'll go talk to your grandfather tomorrow, and tell him about your ambitions, so that he will be happy too."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao hurriedly gave his elder brother a wink, now Mr. Lin is very smart, it is very easy to deal with his own father, in order to avoid troubles, it is better not to let them contact each other up.

When Da Lang received the wink from his younger sister, he understood immediately, so he said: "Father, let me go with my younger brother, we haven't visited grandma and uncle for a long time. "

After Lin Erniu heard this, he didn't object. It's also good to let their juniors go to the old house to walk around more and show their parents.

Today, my old father even talked about the fact that the two grandsons did not visit him. It seems that my father must miss his grandson. If Da Lang Erlang went to see their two elders, his parents would be very happy.

So Lin Erniu nodded, and agreed, this matter is here, it can be regarded as a turning point.

Two days later, Dalang Erlang took a few feet of cotton cloth and two pastries, went to the old house, and gave Mr. Lin a reply.

This time, Mr. Lin's attitude towards the two brothers was really very kind. From the moment they entered the door, they smiled kindly, and even asked Mrs. Zhou to take out the cakes exclusively for the old couple to entertain them. them.

Da Lang Erlang was not at all moved by Mr. Lin's overtures, because they knew that Mr. Lin did not love them as grandsons from the bottom of his heart.

Being able to treat them so kindly now is nothing more than the fact that the two brothers are promising and their family is well-off, so they show their kindness so purposefully.

Think about it before, when the people in the third room lived together, even though the two brothers sat at the same table with Mr. Lin to eat noodles every day, he never took the initiative to talk to them kindly. , not to mention giving them food.

Therefore, the two brothers didn't touch those pastries, didn't even take a sip of tea, and gave Mr. Lin a straightforward answer that they would not come back to offer wine to their ancestors.

Mr. Lin was so full of joy that he fell to the ground. He thought that this matter would definitely be done, and he really hoped it would be done. Now that the second child's family gave him a refusal answer, how could Mr. Lin be reconciled.

So, he asked eagerly: "Why? This is a good thing, why don't you agree?"
