The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 40

While cleaning the courtyard, Qin Muwen spotted Li Jin, who was showing a red paper with the name and birthday of their child to Chen Xiran, beaming with joy. It reminded him of a few nights ago when Li Jin jotted down a few names and took them to their room, asking for his opinion.

Qin Muwen could vividly imagine Li Jin sitting in the study, writing down the names under the warm glow of a yellow candle, his contemplative eyes reflecting the light. He was in awe as he held the paper with both hands, looking at each name carefully. Eventually, he left the decision to Li Jin, knowing that he was the head of the family.

Li Jin had settled on the name "ruo" and said, "I hope Li Ruo will take after you in the future and be as benevolent as water."

After that, Li Jin then went to practice writing the name for the bun, leaving Qin Muwen feeling lost as he sat by the bed.

Did Li Jin just compliment him? But how could he be benevolent?

Qin Muwen buried his face in the quilt until Li Jin came to bed, and even then, he could feel his face turning red.

Fortunately, it was dark, and the blush wasn't visible.

As a scholar, Chen Xiran was quick to praise the name, saying, "Very good!"

Although Li Zhuzi has taken care of Li Jin's family a lot, he still held traditional beliefs about valuing boys over girls, and girls more than gers, and was less interested in the name. He left the full moon gift and said, "I must go back to the mountain to chop wood, so I must go back first."

Zhou Gui, who knew of Li Zhuzi's connection to Li Jin's mother's family, escorted him to the door and exchanged a few words. Li Zhuzi was taken aback by the kindness and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? You're someone working at the town's medical clinic."

Zhou Gui, who had been in charge of reception at Xinglintang for many years, was skilled in dealing with people and had never made a mistake.

He stated, "I  consider Doctor Li as half a master, and as you are his elder brother, I should pay my respects to you."

Li Zhuzi was taken aback.

He almost stumbled on my left foot while walking back.

Of course, this was just a minor incident, which Chen Xiran finished discussing.

Suddenly, he looked at Li Jin eagerly and said, "A Jin, the more you write, the better I want to practice too!"

Their relationship was getting better and better, and they were no longer as formal as when they first met.

Li Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Don't you enjoy writing with a pen? Hard work is the key to improving your writing skills."

He thought of the calligraphy master Wang Xizhi, who practiced calligraphy by the wash inkstone pool, and finally practiced until the water in the pool turned into ink color, which amazed the world.

Chen Xiran's eyes widened, "I understand, and I don't want to fall behind you. I will practice for the same amount of time as you do."

He thought that Li Jin was busy all day, and he did not have much time to practice calligraphy. Therefore, practicing for the same amount of time as Li Jin was sufficient to catch up with him.

Li Jin smiled and said, "Really?"

Chen Xiran patted his chest and said, "Of course, it's true."

Li Jin took out the rough paper he used to practice calligraphy from under the table and showed him his handwriting.
