Chapter 142 You Can Run As You Want
The children also go to the waterwheel to play, which is a unique sight.
And spring is here, and all the peach blossoms along the Peach Blossom River are in bloom. The gorgeous pink mist makes it feel like living in a fairy tale.
Insanely beautiful.
There are also large areas of pink scenery on Peach Blossom Mountain.
Lin Shiqi suddenly had an idea and collected some peach blossoms to make peach blossom wine, which was just right for making a high-quality long video.
Neither is wrong.
Unfortunately, the peach blossoms in Taohua Village, although particularly beautiful, are wild varieties that do not bear fruit.
Otherwise, when the fruits are produced in May and June, it will be so spectacular.
Because it does not bear fruit, the flower blooms particularly beautifully.
When Mrs. Zhou learned that Lin Shiqi was making peach blossom wine, she was very supportive. The process of making peach blossom wine was complicated and it could not be mass-produced, so it could only be made as gifts or for family members to drink. Mrs. Zhou felt a little regretful, but she was also content, as their family's tofu business was booming.
Everyone in the surrounding area knows about their Zhouji tofu.
A fixed daily income that cannot be changed.
At the beginning of spring, the quantity was increased and two deliveries were made a day.
One in the morning and one in the afternoon.
This year, Zhou Laoer is not the only one delivering the goods. After the robbery incident last year, Zhou's family has become more vigilant.
Mrs. Zhou hired several strong men in the village to accompany Zhou Laoer in delivering goods.
It can be considered as protecting the carriage tofu.
A cartload of tofu is worth several taels of silver.
If the escorting man is paid more than ten cents per trip, many people are willing to go.
It means just following along, easily and without any effort.
…
After deducting the expenses in the first month of spring, Mrs. Zhou had more than 100 taels of silver left.
At the end of the year, a family made over a thousand taels of silver. What a concept!
Even the landlords' families are not as well-off as theirs.
Unfortunately, all the money earned last year was wasted by the robbers.
On this day, Longquan School was on a month-long holiday. Zhou Lang came back from the school. It was still early, so he took his nephew Zhou Qinan to the fields to help Old Man Zhou and others pedal the waterwheel.
This made Old Man Zhou very happy.
When the villagers passing by in Taohua Village saw them, they all praised Zhou Lang and Zhou Qinan, and also envied Old Man Zhou.
At night, everyone in the school went home, and it was naturally time for the Zhou family to have a feast.
There was a table full of dishes, including meat and eggs.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Zhou Lang said, "Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you."
Everyone looked over at the same time.
He said he was telling it to Old Man Zhou and his wife, and everyone was curious.
Something that could make Zhou Lang talk about it so seriously during the meal must not be a trivial matter.
Old man Zhou stopped eating and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Lang said, "Our teacher said that I have some talent for studying and suggested that I take the examination to become a student. I thought that after all, I have studied for a while. Since the teacher has confidence in me, I agreed to give it a try."
No one spoke.
For a moment, I was stunned.
Wang was the first to break the silence. "No, Dalang took the exam for the Tongsheng degree after studying for three years. You have only been in school for a few days. No matter how talented you are, can you compare to our Dalang? Your teacher is trying to cheat you out of your money. It costs a lot of money to take the Tongsheng degree exam, including the registration fee, the exam fee, etc...."
Lin Shiqi added, "As for money, sister-in-law, don't worry about it. I have some extra money, which can be used to support my husband's studies and exams. This year, we worshipped the Goddess of the Mountain, and she hinted that my husband could pass the exam and become a student."
Wang was defeated.
She didn't have the confidence to say this because she couldn't afford to send her son to school.
"What I mean is, even if our family has money, we can't waste it, right? If Fourth Brother really wants to take the exam, it's better for him to study for two more years before taking the exam than to waste money now."
At this time, Zhou Qinan spoke.
He smiled and said, "Let Fourth Uncle take the exam. He should familiarize himself with the examination room first. If he fails this year, he can try again next year or the year after."
He also didn't believe that Zhou Lang could pass the examination to become a student after studying for just a few days.
If he overestimates his own abilities, facts will teach him a lesson.
Otherwise, everyone would think that it was so easy for him to pass the examination and become a student.
Don't take him seriously.
Zhou Lang smiled, "Qinan really understands my thoughts. I was also thinking about getting familiar with the examination room affairs first. I don't expect to pass this year. Anyway, my wife will pay for my exam money, so I won't spend the money from the public school."
Now, everyone was speechless.
Who made the fourth room rich?
The fourth wife is rich, but has no children yet. She just wastes the money she earns.
Mrs. Zhou is a fan of the fourth son, and she agrees with whatever Zhou Lang says.
Once Mrs. Zhou agreed, other people's opinions basically became unimportant.
Old man Zhou also sighed and said that the fourth room had money, but it should not be wasted too much. However, he was scolded by Mrs. Zhou and swallowed the money back into his stomach.
After the meal, Wang was not convinced and went to Zhou Qinan to ask for details.
"Did your teacher really say that your fourth uncle is a good student? Did he say that he could pass the examination and become a Tongsheng?"
Zhou Qinan said, "The teacher did praise Fourth Uncle a few times, but I haven't heard anything else."
Wang snorted coldly, "That's just too much money to burn. If he could pass the exam and become a student, I, Wang, and her surname Lin would become richer and richer. He doesn't even help his parents. What a waste..."
A bunch of nasty words followed.
…
Zhou Lang came back to inform him.
The next day, I went to the county town to prepare for the first exam.
The first one is the county exam, which lasts for five days.
There was an examination hall in Jixiang County. Lin Shiqi sent Zhou Lang to take the exam. There were many students around the examination hall and the management was strict. One had to line up and be searched before entering the examination hall, and no one was allowed to bring anything extra.
She thought that all the candidates for the Tongsheng examination were teenagers, but in fact, there were many older people, some as old as 23 years old.
It is really difficult for these candidates.
Zhou Lang is considered to be young.
No wonder, Zhou Qinan passed the examination to become a Tongsheng at such a young age, he deserves to be called a talented player.
Before entering the examination room, Zhou Lang lined up in the crowd with his book box on his back.
While admonishing Lin Shiqi,
"I'm not at home, so be careful when you're alone, and don't take your phone out to play with it..."
Lin Shiqi, "Zhou Lang, why didn't I notice you being so nagging before? My second brother is driving the carriage and is waiting for me to come back!"
Zhou Lang glared at her.
It's almost his turn to go through security.
He took off half of the love lock from his chest and handed it to Lin Shiqi.
"Take it."
Lin Shiqi blinked.
"Give me?"
"I'm worried about you being outside alone when I'm not around. If anything happens, hide in the Concentric Lock Space." Zhou Lang looked at the sky.
Lin Shiqi felt as if something was melting inside him.
Zhou Lang gave her half of the key to the love lock?
"Then I'll take it and run away, leaving you alone."
"You can run as you please."
Zhou Lang looked at her like an idiot, glared at her again, and went through security check.
Lin Shiqi held the love lock that carried the warmth of Zhou Lang's body, and a warm current surged through him.
Dog Zhou Lang gave her the most important thing in his life!
