I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"It's a nice name." Lin Jin touched Jin'er's head. Because she was talking to a child, she couldn't help but use a clip tone. "So what are you looking for me for?"

Jin'er held a small cloth bag in her hand in front of Lin Jin: "This is for Sister Lin Jin."

Lin Jin was stunned for a moment, took the small cloth bag and took a look at it. There were a few pieces of maltose inside: "Where did this candy come from?"

"It was given by someone else. It's called a yuan. All the children in the village have it." Jin'er blushed and was too shy to look at Lin Jin. "Grandma said that my sister has done a favor to our family."

Lin Jin looked at the candy in her hand. She actually didn't like candy, but she also knew that candy was precious in this era. She put the candy back in Jin'er's hand and said, "Sister, I don't like candy. It hurts my teeth when I eat candy. It's so uncomfortable."

Jin'er held the candy, feeling a little at a loss and a little disappointed.

"Jin'er wants to thank you, right? How about this, Jin'er learns to read from you?" Lin Jin looked at Jin'er and had an idea, "If Jin'er can read, you will be very happy."

She didn't know whether the little girl would have any good fortune in the future, but it was always good for her to be able to recognize a few words. Even if she worked for others in the future, she would not be cheated because of her inability to read.

Jin Er just shook her head: "Paper and pens are expensive, and books are expensive too."

Lin Jin propped up her face and smiled: "It doesn't matter. Paper and pen are very expensive, so I'll use tree branches as pens and the ground as paper. As for the book, if Jin'er can recognize ten characters in one day, I'll give her the book I used before, okay?"

Jin'er was stunned, she knew that the four treasures of the study were expensive, but she didn't know how expensive. The books were used by Lin Jin, so in Jin'er's mind she automatically understood them to be worthless, just like vegetables are expensive, but no one wants rotten leaves.

She was thinking about her brother who was also very poor before. Recently, people in the village said that her brother was educated and knowledgeable, and now he has become rich.

Jin'er looked at the candy in her hand again. She also wanted to have money to buy candy, cotton cloth, and...

Lin Jin was very patient with well-behaved children. She just squatted on the ground with a smile on her face, not urging them until she saw Jin'er nod. Then she immediately pulled Jin'er into the yard.

"Then it's settled. You wait here first, and I'll go in and get the book." Lin Jin hid from Jin'er and exchanged a Thousand Character Classic of this era from the system.

Jin'er sat on the stone bench stiffly, her feet not even touching the ground: "Sister Lin Jin, how come you know everything?"

Lin Jin took out a pencil and a coverless lined notebook and handed them to Jin'er: "Jin'er can also learn everything, as long as Jin'er is willing to learn."

Jin'er's eyes fell on the brand new notebook, then looked at the pencil in her hand. After a long while, she moved her gaze to Lin Jin's face: "Sister Lin Jin, are you a fairy from heaven? Grandmother said that you are a Bodhisattva who came down to earth to save people from suffering."

Lin Jin touched Jin'er's head and said, "Sister is not a fairy, nor a bodhisattva. Sister is just a person like Jin'er."

She wrote Jin'er's name in the notebook: "This is Jin'er's name. Jin'er must remember how to write your name. It will be useful in the future."

Although Jin'er didn't know why, she nodded: "What about your sister's name? Is it the same as Jin'er's?"

Lin Jin scratched her head, but still wrote down her name: "It's not the Jin in sister's name, but the Jin in "Huai Jin Wu Yu". The Jin in Jin'er means beautiful silk fabric, and the Jin in sister's name means beautiful jade."

Jin'er looked at Lin Jin, as if she was thinking about something, and nodded heavily: "Sister is very beautiful!"

Lin Jin chuckled and poked Jin'er's head: "That's amazing, little Jin'er, I promised you that you will learn ten words before I give you the book. If you don't study hard, it will be dark soon."

Jin'er quickly turned her head back and listened carefully to Lin Jin teaching her how to read.

After Lin Jin taught Jin'er ten words, she let Jin'er learn by herself. If she didn't understand something, she could come and ask her. Then she started to prepare dinner for today.

She took a look at the eel and found that it had almost spit out all the sand. In fact, it didn't matter whether it spit out the sand or not. After all, it had to be cleaned thoroughly later. It's just that it is easier to clean after spitting out the sand.

Lin Jin first put the rice into the pot and cooked it before starting to clean the eels. While Jin'er was learning to read in the yard, Lin Jin concentrated on processing the eels. Apart from the smell of blood, the process was quite harmonious.

Jin'er had never learned to read before and was eager to get the book, so she studied anxiously. But the more anxious she was, the less she could remember and she started crying.

Lin Jin had just finished preparing the eel and was about to boil water when she heard the crying. She was stunned for two seconds, wiped the dirt on her hands, walked to Jin'er, bent down to check: "Why are you crying?"

"Sister, I, I am too stupid. I didn't remember it." Jin'er sobbed and rubbed her eyes with her hands, as if she didn't want Lin Jin to see her tears.

"Don't worry, take your time. If you can't remember today, it must be because you didn't eat dinner and you're hungry. We'll continue tomorrow." Lin Jin rubbed Jin'er's head gently, "Be good, don't cry. Jin'er is not stupid. You've already recognized four or five words. How can you be stupid?"

"Really?" Jin'er's eyes were red. She reached out to hug Lin Jin's waist, feeling a little aggrieved. "Sister, why aren't you my mother?"

Lin Jin: “…”

How should she answer this question?

Forget it, just keep silent.

Lin Jin touched Jin'er's head and said, "We are tired today, so let's take a rest. I will go make fish soup for Jin'er, and then we can take some back to grandma, okay?"

Jin Er hummed: "Thank you, sister."

"You are so good." Lin Jin pinched Jin'er's face with a smile, and then continued to make eel soup.

When she saw Jin'er before, she thought the child was pitifully thin. After spending so much time with her today, she felt even more that the little girl was extremely thin and needed some nourishment.

Although the grain harvest in Jiangnan is not good, it is a land of fish and rice after all, and there are really many foods that can nourish the body, but some foods are not very acceptable.

After Lin Jin finished cooking the fish soup, she tasted it and immediately gave Jin'er a bowl: "Come on, have some fish soup, but be careful, it's hot, it's freshly cooked."

Jin Er tried to pick up the bowl on the table, but her hand was burned. She quickly took it back and said, "Thank you, sister."

She blew on the soup, carefully leaned close to the edge of the bowl and inhaled a little, then started blowing again, repeating this several times before she could taste a little.

Lin Jin looked at her covering her lips and chuckled. She also drank hot water like this when she was a child.

She also took out a clay pot of fish soup and put it in the basket. This portion would be given to the aunt when she sent Jin'er back later.

Lin Jin saw that the time was almost up, so she held Jin'er's hand with one hand and carried the fish soup with the other to send the girl back. She saw the reluctance in the girl's eyes, so she gave the books and notebooks to Jin'er and took them back.

"Sister, I'll come to see you sometime tomorrow." Jin'er said with reluctance in her eyes.

Lin Jin bent down and said, "Any time is fine, but if my sister is not at home, Jin Er will have to wait for a while."

Because of Lin Jin's words, Jin'er went to find Lin Jin before dawn for two days in a row, and then read books and learned words in the yard with the light of a lantern, quietly waiting for Lin Jin to wake up.

The little girl was willing to learn, and Lin Jin taught her attentively. While teaching Jin'er the Thousand Character Classic, Lin Jin did not forget to tell her short sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the fables she read when she was a child.

Lin Jin originally thought that she should be able to teach Jin'er the entire Thousand Character Classic before leaving. It is not easy to teach a group of children, but it is easy to teach a single child.

But just when Lin Jin was about to fall asleep at night, the system suddenly sounded an alarm, which continued like an invasion of alien creatures, making Lin Jin's eyes widen.

"System!" Lin Jin shouted while holding his head.

The system's alarm sounded a little quieter, but it continued: [Alarm, the surrounding magnetic field is detected to be changing, which may cause unknown harm to the host. The host will be forced to sleep to ensure its safety. Alarm...]

Lin Jin listened to the system saying these words as if it was repeating a broadcast, and the next second he lost consciousness and passed out.
