Sanchuan County, Yangwu County, Huoyu Township.

In the dark night, the hazy moonlight sprinkled on the fields. Uncle Chen, wearing a straw hat and carrying a hoe, hurried home happily.

Although I was tired after a day of work and my clothes were soaked with sweat, when I thought of the scene of autumn harvest, I seemed to forget all the hard work and fatigue in an instant.

Uncle Chen pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of his house and saw his younger brother who had returned from studying away from home. He was so happy that he exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother, you're back!"

"Well, brother, why are you working so late?"

"Hey, the government is buying cotton at a high price this year. I'm thinking of growing more and selling it in the fall to earn money to send you to the Imperial Academy."

"I should have sent you there last year, but it's all my fault that I'm incompetent and couldn't even raise the money for the trip..."

The tall and handsome Chen Ping looked quietly at his brother who depended on him for survival.

Although he is in the prime of his life, the hardships of life have carved wrinkles on his face, making his weathered face look particularly vicissitudes of life.

For the poor people of Guizhou, it was difficult to have enough food and clothing, let alone study. If it were not for his brother's full support and support, how could Chen Ping have the opportunity to study?

Chen Ping took a quick step forward and hugged his brother's hunched back tightly. There was a glimmer of light in the corner of his eyes. He suppressed the sob in his throat and excitedly shared his joy.

"Brother, His Majesty has established the imperial examination system. As long as you pass the exam, students from poor families can also enter the court and become officials."

"Great, great! My brother is smart and hardworking. He will definitely become a high-ranking official. This will bring honor to our family!"

"Brother, I will do my best to live up to your kindness over the years."

"Oh, what's the point of being grateful? You are my brother, and we are a family."

"Well, but I will never forget your kindness, brother. If you become successful in the future, I will definitely make you rich and worry-free."
