Chapter 190 Getting Better Step by Step
The Su family is very united, but Old Madam Meng had heard many stories and seen many things in the capital before, so she could guess some problems as soon as she heard them.
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Well, I have some guesses in my mind, but I think that is an internal matter of the Wen family, so I didn't interfere."
Madam Meng said, "It's better not to interfere. This matter is very complicated and may bring up some past events of the Wen family."
"From what you said, I feel that this Wen family master is a capable person. Once he finds out who wants to harm him, he will definitely deal with that person and some of his affairs."
After discussing the Wen family's affairs for a while, they talked about Su Xueyi's exam.
Mrs. Meng knew that her son was well-educated and there was no need to worry, but she still looked at him nervously. She wanted to ask him how he did on the exam, but she was worried that asking would put pressure on her son.
Anyway, she didn't say much before her son went for the scientific examination.
I'm afraid that if I say too much, it will add pressure to him.
In fact, the Su family is living a pretty good life now. They have enough food and warm clothes, are respected in the village, and live a fulfilling life every day. She thinks it's pretty good.
Maybe it doesn’t matter even if I don’t return to the capital.
Anyway, it's good that their family is happy together.
She feels particularly happy every day when she sees her two grandsons.
Su Xueyi understood his mother's eyes. When he saw her eyes, he could guess what was in her mind.
"Mom, there will be no problem with this college entrance examination. You don't have to worry."
Su Xueyi had a good idea of how she performed in the college entrance examination.
Madam Meng knew her son well and would never say anything without certainty.
With these words, she felt relieved, and Mrs. Meng showed a bright smile on her face.
"Mother knows that you are well educated. With your words, we feel relieved."
Madam Meng felt relieved.
"If I can pass the examination and become a scholar, I will be able to take part in this year's autumn provincial examination. If I pass, I will become a juren."
Old Madam Meng actually had some expectations in her heart, hoping that Su Xueyi would come back with the top scorer in the imperial examination.
Of course, she held back and didn't say it out loud, for fear of putting pressure on Su Xueyi.
In fact, this is pretty good. We can improve step by step and get better step by step.
In this way, the family drank tea and talked, as if they had a lot to say.
Su Xueyi talked about the exam scene and said softly, "Mom, this time in the exam room, I was able to take the exam thanks to the food and medicines prepared by Yao Niang. Everything came in handy. Even several classmates said that the medicine and cooling oil were particularly effective. After using them, I didn't feel sleepy in the exam room. Yao Niang prepared all kinds of medicines..."
Madam Meng looked at Shen Yueyao gratefully and said, "I knew that Yao Niang had thought of everything and was more capable than mother, so I'll let Yao Niang worry about everything about your exam. You must treat Yao Niang well, she is our family's benefactor."
Shen Yueyao put down the cup and said, "Mother, look at you, we are all family, there is no such thing as benefactor or not."
"Yes, yes, don't talk about that."
Su Xueyi said: "Mother, don't worry, I will treat Yao Niang well, she is also very important to me."
How important it is, perhaps only he himself knows best.
In the examination hall, when he was hungry and wanted to eat, other candidates might only eat cold and hard dry food, but he ate hot meals.
The water I drink is extremely sweet and refreshing. When I have a headache, I take a headache pill and it works immediately.
Moreover, the medicine given by Yao Niang does not need to be boiled. It is in the form of pills and can be taken directly with water. The effect is more effective than boiled medicine. Almost the moment you drink it, your headache will be relieved.
And one night the temperature dropped, and I slept under the quilt Yao Niang gave me, and I didn't feel cold.
It is actually difficult to sleep well in the examination room.
Because some people in the examination room were sleeping and snoring.
But Yao Niang gave him earplugs. After wearing them and an eye mask, he could sleep soundly.
But he won't sleep very deeply, he will wake up at about the same time.
This is a habit I developed from my previous light sleep, where I only slept two or three hours a day.
What's more, since Yao Niang is not around, Su Xueyi won't be able to sleep for too long.
So he can maintain good energy for exams every day.
Shen Yueyao didn't know what Su Xueyi was thinking, but her face felt a little hot after hearing what Su Xueyi just said.
"Mother and the two children are right here."
Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao with a smile. It was rare to see her shy. He whispered, "Okay, I won't tell you. Let's talk in private."
Seeing how good the relationship was between the two, Mrs. Meng tried hard to hold back her laughter, but a happy smile still overflowed from her eyes.
The two kids are used to their parents' loving relationship, so they are very calm.
They ate the candies their mother bought obediently, and they were very happy and cherished them.
He licked each candy as if he was reluctant to eat it.
Su Xueyi seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, Mom, do we have any news about the bandits?"
Madam Meng shook her head and said, "No, I only heard that there are cases in other places, but we are fine here. The reason why Mother brought Dabao and Erbao to live in the old house is because she thought your eldest brother has kung fu and can protect our family."
"Oh, by the way, Yao Niang, you don't have to worry. I've also asked people to get information from Xinghua Village. Everything is fine. There are no horse bandits here."
"But the town government has also posted a notice, saying they're recruiting people with some kung fu skills to suppress bandits. There's a generous reward, and if you perform great deeds, they'll report to the court and receive commendations..."
"Your eldest brother wanted to go and respond to the call, but you and Yao Niang were not at home. Your eldest brother was worried about us, so he stayed at home to protect us first."
"Now that you're back, your eldest brother might be recruited."
Su Xueyi said, "Mom, I can also protect my family. If big brother wants to go and fight the bandits, then let him go. Let him do what he wants."
Su Xueyi knew that her elder brother had also contributed a lot to this family.
Many times, my eldest brother does something not because he wants to do it, but because his family needs him to do it.
He would sacrifice himself for the good of his family.
Su Xueyi also feels sorry for her elder brother, so she will respect his ideas this time.
Old Madam Meng also thought so, but for the safety of Dabao, Erbao and Erya, Su Xiuye had to stay at home.
Now that Su Xueyi and Yao Niang are back, she feels relieved.
After the family chatted for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, everyone started cooking together.
Mrs. Meng cut some leeks and eggplants.
Shen Yueyao thought of making leek and eggplant pancakes. She liked eating leek and eggplant pancakes very much and they were delicious.
So I thought of making it for the whole family.
While we were busy together, it was time for lunch break in the workshop.
Everyone came out of the workshop and went home to eat.
Those who lived far away brought dry food to eat in the workshop.
In order to make it easier for everyone to eat, Shen Yueyao set up a large pot in the workshop specifically for cooking.
If it is inconvenient for everyone to go home for lunch, they can put the food they brought with them in a big pot and heat it up.
If one pot can’t heat up, use the second one. Anyway, Shen Yueyao will buy some firewood specifically for this purpose.
There is enough firewood.
When Su Erya came back for lunch at noon, she saw her uncle and aunt had returned. She excitedly ran to Shen Yueyao, reached out and hugged Shen Yueyao and said, "Aunt, I missed you so much when you were away for a few days."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Have you been tired these days?"
"No, Third Aunt, I still remember you mentioned before about giving wages and bonuses to the people in the workshop. I have made a wage list, but as for the bonuses, it's up to you to decide."
