"Oh, let's not talk about him anymore. When he left, he told me that in twenty years at most, he would return home in glory and fulfill your grandfather's last wish. But now it's been over thirty years."
Cheng Shun sighed.
It is only now that he has given up on his elder brother that he can speak of this person so calmly. If he had talked about him in the past, he would have cursed him loudly.
"Dad, let's not talk about this anymore. No matter whether he's dead or alive, he was wrong to abandon you when you were still young. Dad, just promise me one thing!"
Cheng Yue sighed inwardly.
Even in modern times it is not easy to find someone who has been missing for more than 30 years, let alone in ancient times when transportation and communication were not well developed.
"Okay, let's not talk about him. What do you want your father to promise you?"
Cheng Shun didn't want to talk about his elder brother either.
"From now on, I'll listen to you about household matters and let me listen to you about business matters. When I make a lot of money, I'll let you and mom have some free time. You can just relax and stop working in the fields. Okay? Dad, look how tired you are every day!"
Cheng Yue said.
Her father is sometimes a little overbearing, and rarely is he as rational and kind as he is now. In order to avoid a lot of trouble in the future, she must first gain control of her business.
If she misses this opportunity, she will miss it forever. Who knows if her father will be confused and control her when he returns.
"Okay! Then Dad will be waiting for your good news!"
Cheng Shun saw what Cheng Yue was thinking at a glance, and agreed without saying much.
"Then let's go, let's keep running!"
Cheng Yue said happily.
"No, no, Dad is old and can't run anymore. You have to run the rest of the way by yourself! Dad is going to see how the house over there is going."
Cheng Shun waved his hands repeatedly.
He didn't want to run around the village like an idiot. It was already daybreak, it would be so embarrassing if others saw him!
Cheng Yue was dumbfounded as he watched his father waving as he walked towards Shanshui's house.
This cunning old man, is he really playing the emotional card and feels there is no need to waste time with his daughter?
That's too much! That's too much!
Cheng Yue was in such a depressed mood!
She ran the last distance with gritted teeth, and ignored the people in the village who greeted her on the way. She was in a really bad mood!
She felt that she was being tricked by her father.
…
Time passed quickly, and it was the ninth day of March, which was the time when the two scholars in the family took the exam.
Early in the morning, Cheng Yue, Gu Xuelan and Cheng Wen sent the two children to the examination room.
"Jinyan, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Remember to drink less water and eat less. Your parents and aunt will come to pick you up the day after tomorrow afternoon!"
Gu Xuelan looked much more nervous than Cheng Jinyan.
"Mom, why are you comforting my brother? Don't you care about me? I'm very nervous, but my brother is very calm."
Cheng Jinxing said dissatisfiedly from the side.
The whole family is biased, huh!
"You little rascal, take the exam honestly. If you pass, I'll reward you with one ounce of silver!"
Gu Xuelan kicked Cheng Jinxing angrily, and then tempted him with money.
"Tsk, only one ounce of silver? Then I might as well help Aunt cut paper for a few more days. Ten days will earn me one ounce."
Cheng Jinxing curled his lips. He now earns a hundred coins a day.
It’s not that he looked down on the one or two ounces, but he felt that it was much easier to earn one or two ounces by cutting paper than to earn one or two ounces by passing the examination to become a student.
