 Chapter 382: Ordination

"Yeah, Master Lin you never mentioned this before. We can't send the children to other schools halfway through the term."


"At the very least, you should stay until the spring enrollment."


In Dayu, the school year typically started in spring, around February or March after the Chinese New Year. Other than the weekly break on Sundays, there was only one extended break on May 15th for planting and another on September 15th for harvesting.


The higher the educational institution, the more likely they would stick to regular enrollment schedules and not admit students midway. Even county schools had to wait until the spring.


Currently, it was only July, far from the spring enrollment. Even county schools needed to wait until spring.


This was precisely the reason why the villagers were anxious.


"Master Lin is in a tough spot. He can't leave." Chu Ziluo couldn't resist pulling out some peanuts from her pocket and, using her mouth, began to peel them. The peanuts had been boiled and there were quite a few dried at the old house these days.


"However, if Master Lin leaves, many people in the village won't be able to study anymore." Chu Ziluo continued.


Nenya stood beside her, tiptoeing to look inside. "I wonder how Master Lin will solve this. These aunties and grandmas have strong combat capabilities. Will they beat up Master Lin?"


Chu Ziluo chuckled with her eyes narrowed into crescent moons. "I think these aunties are more likely to come to Master Lin's door every day and not let him leave."


Listening to the conversation between two children who were close in age, Lin Chong Jin couldn't help but glance at them.


The slightly weaker one appeared to be a maid, someone who listened to everything the young lady said. Even though she had guessed that she was a maid, she was dressed in ordinary cotton clothes, a bit more colorful, and her round face with bright eyes looked like grapes. Despite the plain attire, she was neatly dressed and exuded a lively charm.


"What are you looking at my Miss for?" Nenya noticed Lin Chong Jin's gaze first. She raised her head, looking at him with a bit of vigilance.


Hearing Nenya's words, Chu Ziluo, who was biting on peanuts glanced at the young man. Seeing that Lin Chong Jin ignored Nenya's words and kept his eyes on the villagers and Master Lin at the school entrance, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Young Master, have you been tonsured?"


The young man remained silent, paying no attention to Chu Ziluo.


His gaze remained fixed at the school entrance and his body stood straight. He was holding a Buddhist bead in his hand.


Seeing that Lin Chong Jin didn't respond, Nenya, who stood next to her pulled Chu Ziluo away from the man and whispered, "Miss, he probably hasn't been tonsured, right?"


"Why?" Chu Ziluo asked.


"My mother said that children from temples, especially those who come down the mountain voluntarily, are usually not tonsured. Otherwise, why come down to find relatives? If they have been tonsured, why return to secular life?"


"That seems plausible. So maybe he lost his hair due to some accident?" Chu Ziluo spoke in a low voice. She felt that gossiping about others wasn't good but she was curious. Whispering with Nenya in private wouldn't cause trouble for the person involved.


Unfortunately, Lin Chong Jin, with his sharp senses, overheard the conversation. It wasn't that he didn't care, he simply chose not to pay it any mind.


"Some lay disciples also get tonsured but continue practicing at home." Nenya, having experienced a lot, knew quite a few things, although they were just bits of gossip about daily life.


Chu Ziluo nodded in realization. "I see. Since he's back with Master Lin now, he probably won't have to shave his head in the future."


"Finding family is a good thing, though." Chu Ziluo said with a smile.
