Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That’s right, Teacher Lin. You didn’t ntion this before. We can’t let the children go to other schools midway.”
“Please stay at least until spring.”
Every year, Great Chu started school in spring, which was around February and March after the new year.
The rest of the ti, other than the seven-day holiday, the school would only recruit students on the 15th of May or the 15th of September. However, both these days were busy tis.
The higher the institution, the more they would recruit students on ti.
It was only July, so it was still early for spring enrollnt. Even the schools in the county had to wait until spring.
This was also the reason why the villagers were anxious.
“Teacher Lin is so miserable. He can’t even leave.” Chu Ziluo could not help but take out the peanuts from her pocket and peel them with her mouth. They were freshly boiled and were still a wet. The old residence had been drying a lot of boiled peanuts for the past few days.
It was needed for entertaining guests on weekdays.
“However, if Teacher Lin leaves, many people in the village won’t be able to study anymore,” Chu Ziluo said.
Nenya stood beside her and looked inside. “I wonder how Teacher Lin will deal with this. These aunties are very strong. They won’t beat Teacher Lin up, right?”
Chu Ziluo smiled. Her eyes curved into crescents. “I think the aunties are more likely to block Master Lin’s door every day and not let him leave.”
When Lin Zhongjin heard the words of the two children who were of similar age beside him, he could not help but take a look.
The one who was slightly thinner should be a servant girl. She seed to just listen to the young miss in the family.
However, the young miss was indeed wearing ordinary cotton clothes. The color was only a little better. She had a round face and bright eyes like grapes. Even though she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she was clean and had a hint of intelligence.
“Why are you looking at my young miss?” Nenya noticed Lin Zhongjin’s gaze at the first mont. She raised her head and looked at him sowhat warily.
When Chu Ziluo heard Nenya’s words, she tilted her head to look at the young man beside her. She was still chewing on a peanut. Seeing that Lin Zhongjin was ignoring Nenya’s words, her gaze fell on the villagers and Teacher Lin at the school gate.
“Little Master, have you gone through the tonsure?” she asked curiously.
The young man did not say a word and completely ignored Chu Ziluo.
His gaze fell on the entrance of the school without moving his eyes.
He stood tall and straight, holding a Buddhist prayer bead in his hand.
Seeing that Lin Zhongjin did not answer, Nenya pulled Ziluo away from him and whispered, “Miss, he shouldn’t have, right?”
“Why?”
“My mother said that the children in the temple who followed her down the mountain were all unwilling to shave their heads. Otherwise, why would they go down the mountain to look for relatives? If they’ve already shaved their heads, why would they return?
“It seems so. Then did he shave his hair because of an accident?” Chu Ziluo’s voice was soft. She felt that it was not good to gossip about others, but she was curious, so she whispered to the bud in private. It was also a way to satisfy her craving without causing trouble for herself.
It was a pity.
Lin Zhongjin was born with sharp ears and eyes. When he heard the words of the two little girls, he could not say that he did npt care. However, he did not take it to heart at all.
“Actually, there are also disciples who have shaved their heads, but they worship Buddha at ho.” Nenya had experienced more things and knew a lot of things, although they were all gossip.
“I see.” Chu Ziluo nodded. “But since you’ve returned to Teacher Lin’s side, you don’t have to shave your hair anymore.”
“But finding your family is a good thing,” Chu Ziluo said with a smile..
