"Are you hungry? Let's go eat."
Tangli felt a little distressed when she thought about the children who had not eaten for most of the day. It was also helpless for them to answer the questions on an empty stomach.
Tangli took them to a restaurant with a good reputation in Hedong County and ordered some non-greasy dishes.
The children are very precious now, so they must not get upset stomachs.
Zhuo Shu also went along. He felt very reserved, but Tang Li, Wei Ziang, and Xu Jue all cared about his feelings the entire time. So, Zhuo Shu didn't feel uncomfortable, but rather touched, and once again took note of this sentiment.
Tangli took the children for a hearty meal and returned to the inn to let them have a good rest.
After taking an exam, Dabao was less nervous and more relaxed.
Three young classmates were talking about poetry and philosophy, and time flew by in their lively conversation. When they felt sleepy, they all went to bed.
Soon the next day arrived and the second exam was held.
The same thing happened the next day. Tangli bought some steamed buns for them and asked them not to eat the lunch provided by the examination hall.
This day was also uneventful.
Then came the third day...
The third day passed quickly.
After finishing the three exams, the children all breathed a sigh of relief.
I always feel especially relaxed after a big exam.
Tangli planned to take the children to relax and stroll around Hedong County.
Zhuo Shu did not follow.
Mrs. Wei had been very nice to him, and he felt embarrassed to ask for free food and accommodation.
Zhuo Shu returned to the inn, left a letter, and went home carrying the tattered bookcase that he had repaired over the past two days.
Tangli took the children to the street.
The streets of Hedong County are bustling.
Dabao and Xu Jue divided the work, Dabao looked after Sanbao and Xu Jue looked after Erbao, as they moved among the crowd.
"Sister!" The fat baby who was walking around and eating suddenly saw a cute little figure. His eyes lit up immediately and he rushed to Sanbao like a small pinball.
"Sister!" The fat baby was very excited, like a little fat dog seeing meat buns.
How dare you covet his sister?
Dabao stood in front of Sanbao vigilantly, looking down at the fat baby.
The fat baby also tilted his little head to look at Dabao.
Dabao usually looks gentle, but when he squints his eyes, he looks quite scary.
The fat baby flattened his mouth and ran away with a "woohoo".
It was just a minor incident and no one took it seriously.
After the family had enough of shopping, they returned to the inn and saw the letter left by Zhuo Shu.
Tang Li looked at the letter without paying much attention to it.
This young man is just like that by nature, he doesn't like to trouble others, so just let him be.
I just hope he has a safe journey.
The other side.
Qin Wenxuan was not very happy.
He and the two babies were not in the same examination room, so he didn't pay much attention to these people.
He didn't take these people seriously at all. They were like small fish and shrimps. He would just teach them a lesson if they provoked him.
As a result, when he came out after the exam today, he actually saw that the two babies were safe and sound, and that nosy guy named Zhuo was also there!
His face drooped and looked extremely ugly.
His lackeys were a little scared when they saw his gloomy look. But they still came up to him and flattered him:
"Brother Qin, what's the point of them just finishing the exam? Won't they still be crushed by you when the results come out?"
"Yeah, with that level, he's definitely in the bottom three without even having to do anything."
"Yes, the last three places will definitely be his. Brother Qin, in a few days, your name will not only be known to everyone in Hedong County, but it will definitely spread to Qinghe County. When the great scholars in Qinghe County hear your name, Brother Qin will definitely have a bright future! Brother Qin, don't forget us classmates when the time comes." Qian Lu is the most servile and the best at talking, and is very much liked by Qin Wenxuan.
After he said this, Qin Wenxuan felt a little better.
"You are the top scorer in the county exam, and you will be the top scholar in the future. Don't bother with those scumbags. They are not worthy."
Qin Wenxuan smiled and said, "Yes, they don't deserve it."
There are still four days before the results are posted.
He is particularly looking forward to it.
…
Tangli took his children and lived in Hedong County, waiting for the announcement of the results.
Tangli was impatient and wanted to know the results the moment they came out. So, he simply stayed and waited.
Either stay in the inn or go out for a walk, and in the blink of an eye, four days have passed.
The day the notice was posted.
The entrance of the county school was crowded with people, including parents and students. Everyone stretched their heads to look, with nervous expressions on their faces.
Tangli was also waiting there with the children.
Although Dabao and Xu Jue were confident that they had done well in the exam, they still couldn't help but feel nervous at this time.
The two held hands tightly.
Erbao and Sanbao also stretched their heads and stared at the gate of the county school.
When the time came, two guards came out, escorting a man who looked like a teacher.
The teacher held a notice in his hand.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The teacher gave the notice to the two guards, who then used rice paste to stick it on the wall.
As soon as the list was posted, the crowd rushed over.
Tangli has good eyesight and saw it at a glance.
First place, Wei Ziang.
Second place, Xu Jue.
Third place, Zhuo Shu.
The top three are all unknown names.
Qin Wenxuan, who everyone thought was the leader, was actually in fourth place!
"Who are the first and second place winners? Why have I never heard of them?"
"Qin Wenxuan is only fourth?! Didn't they say they would definitely be first this time?"
"Mom!" Dabao was extremely happy.
His score was actually first!
My little chest is filled with joy!
Tangli touched Dabao's head.
"Dabao, Mom is proud of you!"
"Xu Jue!" Dabao looked at Xu Jue excitedly.
Xu Jue smiled slightly. He knew Dabao's talent and this was within his expectations.
Seeing Dabao happy, he was happy too.
The two young boys hugged each other, both of their faces filled with joy.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Qin Wenxuan looked at his name on the list, his face turned pale, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't believe it.
How is that possible?
Those two babies actually took first and second place?
And Zhuo Shu!
These three were people he hated, trash in his eyes, and now they were actually getting ahead of him!
It was like a slap in his face, burning!
Qin Wenxuan's eyes were red, and he wanted to rush up and tear the list down.
"Brother Qin, this is impossible? How could this happen?"
Qin Wenxuan's lackeys were also dumbfounded.
No one expected this result.
Those two babies actually have such abilities?
How could someone from that mountain valley be so formidable, actually taking the top three spots?! Crush these talented young men?!
It's unbelievable.
"Get out! Get out of here!" Qin Wenxuan slapped the dog-legged guy.
Those lackeys were a little afraid of him and couldn't help but step back.
