During the days when Lin He was taking exams, everyone was very careful even when speaking, for fear of disturbing him from resting and reading.
When it was the last game on the third day, Li Yu planned to close the shop for the day, give Lin Fei and Wang Xiaowei a day off, and pay them their wages.
They have been away from home for a month, so let them go home and have some rest.
Lin Fei was a kitchen helper and an apprentice, while Wang Xiaowei was a handyman who occasionally helped in the kitchen. Li Yu's first month's wages were not very high.
Lin Fei's salary was 900 wen, and Wang Xiaowei's was 700 wen. Although Li Yu himself thought it was not high, it was actually much higher than his peers.
Many apprentices do not receive any wages.
After Lin Fei and Wang Xiaowei left, Li Yu took his whole family to the street to buy things.
Since the new store opened, everyone has been busy and has no time to go shopping.
First I bought some food, then some clothes and shoes for my family. Finally, I went to the carriage shop and bought a mule cart.
If you ask why they don’t buy a carriage, I can only say that the aristocratic system here is really stupid.
Only the super-rich or scholars of high status and above are eligible to buy horses. Ordinary people are not eligible to own horses privately.
Just like common people cannot wear silk,
Although Li Yu had a smile on his face at the carriage and horse shop, he was cursing in his heart.
That’s really enough.
There's no way. The cows at home are old, and driving the ox cart on the street is a bit too slow.
The family finally decided to buy a young mule to go with a cart.
In fact, there is no difference between a mule and a horse, Li Yu thought. If a mule pulls a carriage, it is a carriage.
After the shopping, they went to a restaurant again. This time, Li Yu treated the whole family to mutton. There was a very famous mutton restaurant in the town, and many people from other places came here to eat.
Li Yu also decided to take his family out for a meal.
When the mutton was served, Li Yu tasted it and found it was indeed good, with tender mutton and a delicious mutton soup. There were also the modern-day famous hand-pulled mutton and mutton in clear soup.
After finishing the meal and leaving, Li Yu heard Lin Hai say that the boss was a Hu person.
No wonder it tastes so good. If nothing else, the Hu people are definitely better at cooking mutton than the people in the Central Plains, after all, they have been eating it since they were young.
After the family finished eating and shopping, they drove the mule cart to the entrance of the examination hall to wait for Lin He.
Around 3 p.m., Lin He emerged from the examination room with a group of other students. Li Yu looked over and saw that although he looked in good spirits, his face still showed signs of fatigue.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to ask him how he did on the test, but just let him get in the car and go back to rest.
Li Yu is very familiar with exams. As a modern girl, she has been taking exams since she was a child. What she hates most after the exam is people asking her how she did, whether it was difficult, whether she knew the result, and whether she could pass the exam.
Li Yu would not ask Lin He how he did in the exam. Anyway, the results would be out in three days, so they just had to wait.
Moreover, considering Lin He's ability, he would not do badly in the exam. Even if he didn't get first place, he would definitely not be last.
It’s just time. What they lack the least is time.
After returning home, Lin He didn't ask for food. He just told Li Yu not to disturb him and let him sleep for a while.
Li Yu understood him very well. Lin He started later than others. In half a year, he was able to qualify for the county examination from Class A.
He worked countless times harder than anyone else.
While Lin He was sleeping, Li Yu asked everyone to go back to the house and not disturb him while he was sleeping. He wanted him to have a good rest and not be disturbed.
When Yang Liu finished preparing dinner, Lin He was still asleep. She went to ask Li Yu, "Mom, my third brother is still asleep. Should we wake him up to eat?"
"Don't worry about it. He's been too tired these past few days. Let him have a good rest. We'll eat first. Leave some food aside and heat it in the pot. He'll eat it when he wakes up."
Because of the busy business of running the store recently, the family hasn't sat together for a long time.
After dinner, everyone sat together and talked to Li Yu.
"Mom, how did my third brother do in the exam? He looks very tired." Lin Mei asked her.
"Don't worry. Others may not know, but your third brother is definitely fine. You don't know him well enough. When it comes to reading and writing, when has he ever failed?"
"That's right, Mom, do you still remember when you taught us to read when we were young? My second brother and I are obviously older than him, but Ah He would remember it every time you taught him. It took us a long time to remember it." Lin Hai said.
Lin Mei was surprised: "Is Third Brother so powerful?" It's no wonder she was surprised. She was only three or four years old when this happened and she didn't remember it at all.
Li Yu also remembered that the original owner had this part in his memory. Because of this, the original owner was sad for a long time.
She was sad about Lin He's health and because her family had no money and could not let her smart son go to school.
Li Yu said to Lin Mei: "Of course, for someone like your third brother, it's not an exaggeration to say he is a genius.
But I'm telling you, don't bring this up in front of Ah He. It puts pressure on him. Even if he doesn't perform well or doesn't do well on the test, don't show a disappointed expression. Remember?"
Although he didn't understand why Li Yu didn't let anyone bring it up, he knew it was for Lin He's own good.
Everyone promised that they would never mention it.
