Fortunately, they were finally out of danger and settled down in the city temporarily.
In order to survive, Zhou Bin went out to do hard labor, while Xiao Nan temporarily lived in an abandoned courtyard.
Although Zhou Bin had lost all his memory, he was still very strong, so he could earn some money by working every day.
Gradually, Zhou Bin saved some money, and then the two of them renovated the courtyard. Gradually, the dilapidated courtyard in the past underwent new changes.
As time passed, Zhou Bin and Xiao Nan had lived in Wangshui Town for almost a year.
This year, Zhou Bin worked very hard and through his efforts, he made the lives of the two of them better and better.
During this period, Xiaonan has been taking care of Zhou Bin wholeheartedly. As a wife, she uses her gentleness and virtue to fill Zhou Bin's heart with warmth and hope.
Zhou Bin was a little unfamiliar with Xiao Nan in the beginning, but now, the two of them are very close and their relationship is so good that it is hard to describe.
Zhou Bin often felt sad that he had become Xiaonan's evil husband in a daze. She was a gentle, beautiful and considerate wife.
If it weren't for him, Zhou Bin didn't know how he would survive here.
Therefore, Zhou Bin cherished this understanding wife very much. He worked hard outside every day and was covered in dust.
But when he got home, Xiao Nan always cleaned him up neatly and never let him appear in front of everyone with a dirty face.
Xiao Nan told him that their family used to be a scholarly family and he could not disgrace the family tradition of Zhou Bin's family.
Zhou Bin couldn't help laughing sometimes. He jokingly said to Xiao Nan that he was just a laborer now, so how could he be called a scholar?
But Xiaonan didn't think so. She felt that Zhou Bin was a scholar. Even though he was down and out now, he was still a scholar.
When she married Zhou Bin, their family had actually fallen on hard times, but Zhou Bin's father still maintained the integrity of a scholar.
At that time, she firmly believed that her husband would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.
So she stubbornly called her man "husband". In fact, poor people like them all called their husbands "my man".
She felt that this kind of address was a bit vulgar. How could it be worthy of her husband who was a scholar?
When Zhou Bin saw Xiaonan's face full of anticipation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I am now doing the hardest and most tiring work every day, and following other people's advice, just to make Xiaonan's life better.
In fact, he knew that he would never be as successful as Xiaonan imagined.
Now he just wants to live a good life and grow old with Xiaonan.
However, there was one thing that made Zhou Bin a little regretful, that was that for more than a year, there was no movement in Xiaonan's belly.
Zhou Bin didn’t know what the reason was, but he wasn’t in a hurry because they still had a lot of time.
Half a year passed like this, and suddenly one day, when Zhou Bin came back, he found Xiao Nan coming to greet him with an excited look on his face.
Zhou Bin didn't know what made her so excited, so he asked, "Madam, what are you so happy about?"
Xiao Nan said excitedly, "Husband, I have something great to tell you."
Zhou Bin didn't know what she was going to say. Could it be that she was pregnant?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin was very happy and said with a smile: "My wife, are you pregnant?"
Xiao Nan's face turned red with embarrassment, and she immediately said, "Husband, it's not about that."
When Zhou Bin heard this, he thought, if it wasn't this, what other good things were there?
Xiao Nan immediately told Zhou Bin what happened. It turned out that Xiao Nan went to the town to buy something and suddenly saw the notice from the court.
It said that in order to recruit talents from all over the world, the emperor was going to hold an imperial examination in two months.
There is no threshold for this exam. Anyone who is academically talented can go to Beijing to take the exam.
As long as you pass the exam, the imperial court will make an exception and admit you.
Xiao Nan would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but once she did, she was so excited.
Her husband is a scholar, and she knows how talented he is.
Therefore, she firmly believed that Zhou Bin should go to Beijing to take the exam and win fame for himself.
After hearing what Xiaonan said, Zhou Bin was stunned. So this was the case!
But he had no intention of taking the exam at all. After all, his family depended on him alone to support the family.
If he leaves, how will Xiaonan live alone?
Therefore, Zhou Bin immediately rejected Xiao Nan's idea. He thought that it would be a waste of time if he went, and he would have to spend a lot of money, which was really not worth it.
So Zhou Bin didn't plan to go, but Xiao Nan got angry when she heard that.
She felt that Zhou Bin must go, after all, this was the only wish of Zhou Bin's father before he died.
She also knew that her man would do great things in the future and must not be buried in the dust forever.
In fact, in addition to working every day, Zhou Bin sometimes picks up some old books to read.
This was a shocking realization. Zhou Bin discovered that he indeed had a lot of things in his mind. He had memorized everything from governing a country, astronomy and geography, to the Four Books and Five Classics.
It can be seen that Zhou Bin had studied hard before. Although he lost his memory, he did not forget the knowledge.
Now seeing Xiaonan so eager to ask him to take the exam, Zhou Bin felt a little shaken.
He suddenly remembered that he couldn't live like this for the rest of his life, and he had to find a way to fight for their future.
Now that I have this opportunity, it seems that I have really learned a lot before.
If I pass the exam and get a good degree, then won’t Xiaonan be able to live a good life with me?
I think of how Xiaonan lived frugally for herself, never wanting to eat good food and always saving the best things for herself.
Zhou Bin felt bad, but now that he had this opportunity, he should give it a try.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin was a little shaken.
Later, after Xiaonan's repeated persuasion, Zhou Bin decided to go to Beijing to take the exam. For Xiaonan, he decided to take a risk.
Xiao Nan was very happy to hear that Zhou Bin was willing to go, and immediately prepared various things for Zhou Bin so that he could set off as soon as possible.
The capital city is still far away, so Zhou Bin must leave as soon as possible so as not to miss the time.
After several days of preparation, Zhou Bin finally packed all his luggage and money.
Xiao Nan left only a little money for herself and gave all the rest to Zhou Bin.
Zhou Bin couldn't bear it, as he estimated that he would be away for more than half a year.
It would definitely be inconvenient for Xiaonan to stay at home alone, and he couldn't bear to see Xiaonan suffer at home.
But Xiaonan insisted that Zhou Bin take more money with him, as it was very difficult to travel abroad, and she didn't want Zhou Bin to suffer any grievances.
She said she could do some needlework at home and that would allow her to get by.
In the end, Zhou Bin accepted Xiao Nan's opinion.
