Chapter 496 He's actually my father-in-law? I guess I was mistaken.
The courtyard was bustling with activity. After taking a bath, Lin Beishan, as usual, went to take Yudian out to play.
The little guy is over two months old now, and his eyes are becoming even more expressive.
Lin Beishan was already a familiar face. The baby's head was resting on his grandfather's arm, and his body was leaning against his grandfather's chest. He blinked his eyes, recognized the person, and immediately grinned.
Gu Ersao now trusts Lin Beishan completely. The children in the family have all followed Lin Chang'er's generational naming conventions, calling Lin Beishan and his wife "grandparents" or "maternal grandparents."
As soon as Lin Beishan carried Yudian outside, a bunch of kids playing in the yard surrounded him, wanting him to tell them a story.
Lin Beishan sat on the stone stool, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's not dark yet!" It wasn't time for that step yet.
"Why don't you tell us what the teachers taught in class today?"
The kids love being randomly checked because they get a reward for good behavior, and at the very least, they get a piece of candy.
Occasionally, when Grandpa was in a good mood, he would reward him with copper coins.
The little children chattered excitedly, vying to be first. Those in front were fine, but those in the back, afraid of being blocked, desperately stood on tiptoe and raised their hands high.
After finishing her business with Wu Qingfeng, Madam Wu sat by the window chatting. Seeing the scene in the courtyard, she couldn't help but wonder, "I noticed that there are more children of all ages coming home from school than just these!"
Wu Qingfeng chuckled, "That's not all. The older children are probably practicing martial arts in the back right now, the little girl should have gone to the embroidery room with Xiao Lu to learn needlework, and the rest are just toddlers of two or three years old. That age is the most fun."
Mrs. Wu nodded, agreeing with her son. The batch of dolls she had seen overturned over the threshold earlier were indeed these dolls.
Thinking of something, Mrs. Wu added, "They climb over the threshold to get in every day after school?"
Wu Qingfeng nodded.
Madam Wu then said, "Why not make the threshold lower?" If it weren't inconvenient, it would be fine, but children have to walk across it every day.
Wu Qingfeng smiled and explained, "It's like this. Chang'er said that Linshui Village is now a good place to make a living. As long as everyone works hard, for at least the next two or three generations, life won't be too difficult."
"But that doesn't mean the outside world is the same as the village. People always strive for higher places. Once you go outside, many things and relationships are like this threshold; not just anyone can reach them by simply lifting their foot."
"So she said that we should let these children know this principle from a young age, so that when they go out into the world, they won't be flustered and at a loss."
After hearing this, Madam Wu couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself, "This Lin girl is quite thoughtful and opinionated; she won't be spoiled or pampered."
With such a temperament, the descendants she raises will not be too bad in character.
Thinking this way, she became even more satisfied with Lin Chang'er.
"Is this the eldest brother of the Gu family?"
Although Lin Beishan is of the father's generation, the original owner of this body had exquisite skills and had not suffered too much hardship, so he did not look old. In addition, he liked to play with children and had a good attitude, which made him look even younger.
Wu Qingfeng smiled and said in a deep voice, "Mother, that is Lin Beishan, the boatman that Chang'er invited back from Su County, and also Chang'er's godfather."
Madam Wu paused, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "So he's my father-in-law? I was so mistaken."
Wu Qingfeng explained, "My godfather is lively and cheerful, so it's no wonder my mother misunderstood. Many others have also admitted their mistake."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wu recovered from her embarrassment.
Just then, Lin Beishan said in the courtyard, "Little Winter Melon, didn't you learn anything at school today?"
Zhou Yi, whose name was called, immediately frowned and began to think hard. "Yes, the Master taught arithmetic. Two twos equal four."
Then Lin Beishan raised his voice, though his tone was still gentle, "Didn't you learn this seven days ago? Did the teacher teach this again today?"
