In the annual scholar examination, the number of admissions varies from prefecture to prefecture. This year, the admission quota for Cangzhou is the top 60. The best of the five people from Shenjia Village ranked 5th, and the worst ranked 28th.

In addition to these people from Shenjia Village, Li Yu also passed the examination and ranked 7th.

Such outstanding results made He Jinshu famous overnight.

Although He Jinshu felt that this was not his own credit, he only gave them a little guidance, and their ability to pass the examination to become a scholar was entirely due to their accumulation over the years.

He Jinshu is modest, but the people in Shenjia Village are not modest at all, especially the village chief Shen. He praises He Jinshu to everyone he meets. If someone says: Maybe he is just lucky, otherwise how could he, a scholar who didn't even pass the imperial examination, bring up so many scholars at once?

Whenever this happened, Village Chief Shen would retort: ​​"What good luck? He Xiucai is truly talented. Otherwise, our village hasn't had a single successful candidate in such a long time, yet how come he has five successful candidates all at once after teaching them? Can you find me someone with that kind of luck?"

When those people heard this, they stopped talking. They really couldn't find it now.

Anyway, this incident made He Jinshu famous again, so that when the village school started to recruit students, everyone knew that He Jinshu would be the teacher there. In addition to people from the two villages, it also attracted many people from other villages and even the town to come here to sign up for school.

He Jinshu was still unaware of these things. He was currently at home dealing with the parents of several students from Shenjia Village who had passed the imperial examinations.

The people who passed the examination and became scholars were Shen Zhihao, Shen Linxin, Shen Yan, Shen Hongyu, and Shen Qingkai.

After several parents learned that their children had passed the imperial examination and became scholars, they brought them to He Jinshu's house to thank him the day after they returned from the provincial capital.

Knowing that He Jinshu's family did not accept gifts privately, several families discussed and decided to kill two pigs and send them to He Jinshu's home. They would then send a generous gift when He Siyi and He Sixuan held their first birthday party at the end of the month, so that He Jinshu would find it difficult to refuse.

He Jinshu felt a little headache when he saw several families sending so much pork at once. It was a hassle just to deal with so much meat.

So he declined, saying, "My dear uncles and aunts, this is too much meat. I'll just leave one piece for you, and you can take the rest back!"

"No need to take it. Don't you raise pigs at home? This is for you." Shen Hongyu's mother said.

"That's right, isn't Brother Zhen a good cook? You can leave it to him, he can cook well." Chen Yanniang said.

"Yes, you can keep it for yourself. We don't have anything good to give you. Please don't refuse it!" said Shen Lin's bride.

.....

He Jinshu looked at Chen Chen standing beside him and asked, "Aren't you going to try to persuade me?" "This is over 200 kilograms of pork. What are we going to do with it if we keep it all?"

After receiving He Jinshu's signal, Chen Zhen said directly: "In that case, we will accept it. Thank you uncles and aunts."

He Jinshu was speechless after hearing this. I asked you to persuade him, not to accept it.

After hearing what Chen Chen said, He Sixuan, who was standing aside, also said in a baby voice, "Thank you, grandparents."

After hearing this, everyone praised He Sixuan for being such a smart kid and said he would definitely be as capable as his father when he grows up.

After a while of excitement, everyone prepared to leave. Before leaving, they told He Jinshu that Shenjia Village would hold a banquet in three days and asked them to attend the banquet then.

He Jinshu naturally agreed to this.

After everyone left, He Jinshu looked at the pork on the table and asked Chen Chen helplessly, "Why did you let them keep so much meat? We can't finish it all at once."

"If you can't finish it, make it into bacon or sausages," Chen Chen said nonchalantly. Then he added a little proudly, "This is the first time I've enjoyed your benefits. You can't let anyone take it back."

Seeing that Chen Zhen said this, what else did He Jinshu have to say? Just keep it according to your husband's wishes.

Then He Jinshu said, "How do you make the sausage you mentioned? How about making some for us today?"

"Sure." Chen Chen responded, "That thing is delicious. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after trying it once."

"My brother and I want to eat too." He Sixuan interrupted.

"Okay, Dad will make it for you today." Chen Chen pinched his little face and said.

Afterwards, Chen Zhen asked his servants to go to town to buy ingredients, and he would come to make sausages in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, just as Chen Zhen finished steaming a pot of sausages, his two sons ran into the kitchen. Then, standing near the stove, they looked up and asked Chen Zhen, "Dad, is it ready? It smells good."

Chen Chen looked at his two greedy sons and said as he took the sausages out of the pot, "It's almost done. Wait for dad to fry them for you. They will taste even better."

"Okay, Dad, hurry up." He Sixuan urged after hearing this.

After hearing this, Chen Chen said, "Go stay with your father. It's too dangerous here at the stove. Dad will make it for you in a while."

After hearing this, the two sons obediently moved their own small stools and sat next to He Jinshu, watching him light the fire while waiting for Chen Zhen to fry sausages for them.

After frying the sausages, Chen Chen inserted bamboo sticks into them and handed them to the two children and He Jinshu, saying, "It's a little hot, so be careful when eating."

"I understand, Dad." The two sons took the sausages impatiently and said.

Chen Chen put the remaining sausages on a plate and prepared to send it to the main hall for Grandpa He and Grandma He to taste. Seeing this, He Jinshu stood up, took the plate and said, "I'll take it there."

After saying that, he carried the plate out of the kitchen.

Chen Zhen did not refute this. It was almost time for dinner, so after making the sausages, he would make dinner.

Today, apart from keeping some pork for cooking, the rest was made into sausages and cured sausages by Shen Chen and Aunt Wen. There were three or four flavors in total, enough for their family to eat for a long time, and they could also give some to Shen's mother and others when the time comes.

He Jinshu ate sausages while carrying a plate into the main room. Seeing him eating while walking, Grandma He said with a bit of annoyance, "You really don't look like a scholar anymore."

He Jinshu couldn't help but pause his chewing when he heard this, and then he started eating again as if nothing had happened, thinking: He was led astray by Chen Chen.

But after he swallowed it, he still tried to save his dignity and said, "This sausage made by Ah Zhen is so delicious. Grandpa and grandma, you should try it too."

After saying that, he was afraid that Grandma He would say something else, so he added, "Grandpa and grandma, you guys eat first. I'll go to the kitchen to help Ah Zhen cook." After saying that, he turned and walked out of the main room.

Grandma He looked at He Jinshu's hurried escape and shook her head helplessly. Then she said to Grandpa He, "I wonder how Ning Yi and Huixian feel when they see their son grow up to be like this."
