Bosheng has always liked Liu Tangxi, and when he heard her say this, he was immediately delighted.

However, he was still an honest and good boy after all, and he had a blind admiration for Wei Hanzhou. So, after laughing, he quickly said, "Third Uncle just started studying late. In fact, Third Uncle is still the best writer, I can't compare to him."

Liu Tangxi would not blindly boast. After hearing what he said, she stroked his hair and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if you can't write as well as your uncle now, you will surpass him one day. Auntie has confidence in you!"

Hearing this, Bosheng smiled again, his eyes slightly narrowed, his white teeth showing, looking innocent and cute.

Wei Hanzhou sneered a few more times.

With the double encouragement from Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi, Bosheng happily took the paste to paste the couplets.

After feeding the pigs, Liu Tangxi prepared to go to the stove.

Today everyone was making dumplings, and she took the initiative to take on the task of preparing the filling.

Her golden finger was so useful, it would be a pity not to use it. For the sake of her own stomach, she had to touch the ingredients.

When passing by Wei Hanzhou, she found that Wei Hanzhou's face looked cold again for some reason.

It's New Year's Day, who are you showing such an ugly face to?

However, Wei Hanzhou often had a cold face, and Liu Tangxi was used to it, so he didn't even give him a glance and walked past him calmly.

However, when she was about to pass by Wei Hanzhou, Wei Hanzhou suddenly spoke.

"Since you think my husband's writing is not good, why don't you write the rest?"

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi stopped and looked at Wei Hanzhou.

After staring at him for a long time, Liu Tangxi said, "Husband, are you jealous?"

Liu Tangxi was joking, of course, because she knew very well that Wei Hanzhou had never liked her. She was just trying to anger him, because given his personality, he would definitely not say such childish things in public, saying he didn't like her.

Since he wanted to see her embarrassed, she made him uncomfortable.

Sure enough, after she said this, Wei Hanzhou's eyes changed immediately, and his face looked a little dazed.

"This is where you're wrong. How can you be jealous of even a child? I'm going to make dumplings. Husband, you take your time writing~" Liu Tangxi said proudly.

Although she was a little hurt by the fact that Wei Hanzhou disliked her, it was really interesting to see Wei Hanzhou's expression change.

After saying this, Liu Tangxi went to the kitchen humming a tuneless tune.

However, she didn't notice that Wei Hanzhou had been staring at her busy figure for a long time.

After a while, Liu Tangxi prepared the filling, and Li, Zhang, Zhou and she sat in the main room to make dumplings together.

Thinking about staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, Liu Tangxi went to sleep in the afternoon.

When night came, the whole family sat together around the stove in the main room.

Wei Lao San took out the account book and talked about the expenses and income for the year.

Overall, although Wei Lao San was ill for several months, his income this year is much higher than last year.

Although I haven’t saved up enough of the twenty taels of silver I had before, if I can keep up that amount by next year, it will be almost enough.

"I saved ten taels of silver this year, but the one who made the most was my third son's wife. It's a shame for her."

When Liu Tangxi heard Wei Lao San call her name, she stood up and said, "Dad, you are too polite. Mom spent twenty taels of silver to save me. Compared with your kindness, this is nothing."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are all family." Li said with a smile.

The thing that made her most satisfied this year was probably finding a good wife for her son.

In a blink of an eye, I earned back nearly half of the twenty taels of silver I spent. My wife's illness was inexplicably cured, and I also earned a lot of money from the fruit trees on the mountain.

As an illiterate and somewhat superstitious old lady, Li had always blindly believed that these were all brought by Liu Tangxi.

However, she guessed it right by accident.

"However, embroidery work like the Guo family's is not available every year. I guess there won't be such a good thing next year. We have to save more money next year, and when the third child takes the exam, we can sell the two pigs at home." Wei the third child continued to talk, "The third child's exam is a big deal. If he passes, he will be married, and no one should have any objections. When Bosheng and Zhongxing grow up and want to go to school, the whole family will support them together."

Before Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu could say anything, Wei Hanzhou spoke first.

"Dad, no need. It won't cost that much money to go to the capital to take the exam. Two taels of silver will be enough for my son's food and lodging."

Wei Lao San immediately said, "That won't do. There's an old saying that goes, 'A poor family can be rich on the road.' You should bring more money with you when you go out. You're not familiar with the place, and no one can guarantee what will happen to you."

"Dad is right, third brother. Let's save more. If you pass the exam, you will have to go to the capital to take the exam in the spring of next year. I don't know if you will have enough money by then. I heard that the capital is far away from here and it will take several days to get there." said Wei Daniu.

Wei Erhu also said, "Brother is right. We should bring more money. I saw some people from other places at the dock. After getting off the boat, they were not used to the food and accommodation, so they got sick. It cost a lot of money."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Erhu was scolded by Li: "It's New Year's Day, what are you talking about? Spit it out, the third brother is in good health."

Wei Erhu touched his head and said with a smile: "Oh, I said the wrong thing. I just wanted to be on the safe side."

Wei Hanzhou always wanted to speak again, but never found the opportunity.

Before he could say anything, Wei Lao San spoke up: "Lao San, you don't have to bear any burdens. The family can only support you until the spring of the year after next. If you fail this imperial examination, it will be three years later. Bo Sheng has grown up, and we still have to support him to study. Zhong Xing also needs to be enlightened, which also costs money. The family can't afford to support three people. Now that you have a family and are an adult, you can earn money on your own and slowly think of ways to deal with it in the future."

"Dad, isn't this inappropriate? My third brother is such a good student. Even if he fails this time, he might succeed next time." Wei Daniu raised his objection.

Wei Lao San raised his hand to stop Wei Daniu from saying the following words, and said: "Lao San, don't think Dad is too much. Dad has seen too many scholars who have never made any progress in their lives. Let's not talk about the distant ones, let's talk about the recent ones. One is your fourth uncle, and the other is Li Xiucai from the next village. Your fourth uncle has been studying for 20 to 30 years, but he hasn't even passed the examination to become a scholar. After Li Xiucai passed the examination to become a scholar, he also worked hard for many years but failed to pass the examination to become a son. We should... If you were a wealthy family, I would be willing to support you to continue your studies. But we are poor, and I have more than one son. Your two elder brothers have saved money to support you to study for ten years. You are a scholar now, and you have the ability to make money. If you really want to continue to take the exam, there are many ways. You don’t have to work hard like me and your two elder brothers. Similarly, you should also remember the kindness of your two elder brothers and don’t forget to take care of your two nephews. ”

The third son of the Wei family has been supporting his younger brother's education since he was able to earn money. After he got married and had children, he also supported the education of the eldest son and grandson of the Wei family. He was really scared.

In the first few years, he was willing to support his younger brother, but later on, his younger brother kept failing the exams, refused to work, and was very arrogant towards him. Gradually, he couldn't stand it anymore, and began to feel unfair.

Until now, his parents have passed away, but because of those things, his relationship with his eldest brother and fourth brother is very bad, and they are even worse than strangers.

Since he had suffered so much, as a parent, he naturally did not want his sons to follow in his footsteps.

Wei Hanzhou swallowed all the words he was going to say, stood up, and bowed solemnly to Wei Lao San and his two brothers.

"Dad, don't worry. No matter whether I can pass the exam in the future, I will never forget the kindness of my parents and my brothers and sisters-in-law."

Liu Tangxi had been listening attentively while eating melon seeds, and was deeply impressed by Wei Lao San's sensible attitude.

Wei Hanzhou was the top scholar, but Wei Lao San said that he could only take the exam once, and if he failed, he would have to find a way himself.

Although Wei Lao San said so, Liu Tangxi knew that Wei Hanzhou was not a bookworm. While studying, he also copied books for others. Although she didn't know how much money he made, she guessed that it must be a lot. Even if Wei Lao San really didn't support him to study, he could still support himself to study.

However, why is the gap between this person and others so big?

Wei Hanzhou was copying books while studying, and he still managed to get the top spot in the exam as he could do two things at the same time.

I don’t know how this brain grew.

In fact, although Wei Lao San seemed very fair on the surface, deep down, he was unwilling to give up his son who was good at reading and wanted his son to continue his studies.

But at the same time, he is more aware of the harm of damaging the harmony among brothers.

Not only can the son make money by copying books, the daughter-in-law can also make money by embroidering. In time, the son can also go to school.

After finishing this serious topic, Wei Lao San changed the subject and began to talk about the plans for next year.

"Although we have made a lot of money from apples, the third child will take an exam next year, so we won't buy a tree yet. It costs money to buy a tree, and it won't produce fruit that year. Let's wait until the third child finishes the exam. The eldest and second child will go to work in town, and your mother and I will take care of the farm work. You can come back to work when it's busy. The third child should study hard. The first, second, and third children can embroider at home to earn some money."

"Yes, Dad." Everyone responded.

Things always have to come to an end, and by the time of Hai time, the serious business is over and everyone starts chatting.

Normally, Liu Tangxi went to bed before 11:00 p.m. This afternoon, he took a nap but was not too sleepy.

However, around midnight, she began to feel sleepy.

This custom of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year is really torturous.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Liu Tangxi was already so sleepy that he dozed off.

Shulan and Fuyao had fallen asleep one after another, and Zhang and Zhou carried them back.

Zhou also went to bed first because she had to hold the child.

Although Bosheng was also very sleepy, he knew that he was the older brother, had grown up now, and had started to read and understand things, so he tried his best to restrain himself.

Finally, Zi Zheng arrived.

The new year has begun.

Wei Lao San said a few more words, and after about a quarter of an hour, the fire went out and everyone dispersed.

However, there were two people inside who did not move and were still sitting there. One was Wei Hanzhou and the other was Liu Tangxi.

"Han Zhou, why aren't you leaving yet?" Li asked.

Before Wei Hanzhou could say anything, Li noticed something was wrong and asked, "Huh? When did your wife fall asleep?"

Wei Hanzhou glanced at the head pressing on his shoulder and said quickly, "It was after midnight. He just fell asleep."

"Oh, then wake her up. The fire in the room has been put out, so she won't catch a cold when she sleeps." Li said.

"Yes, okay, Mom." Wei Hanzhou agreed.

After saying this, Li went back to the house.

Soon, Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi were the only two people left in the room.

Although Liu Tangxi was not heavy, Wei Hanzhou felt that the head on his shoulders weighed a thousand pounds.

"Cough." Wei Hanzhou coughed lightly.

However, Liu Tangxi did not react at all.

Then, Wei Hanzhou coughed again: "Cough."

Liu Tangxi still had no reaction.

Perhaps half a cup of tea had passed, or perhaps a quarter of an hour had passed, but Liu Tangxi showed no sign of waking up.

Noticing that the room was getting colder, Wei Hanzhou glanced to the side.

**********

Liu Tangxi was awakened by Wei Hanzhou.

I opened my eyes in a daze, and heard Wei Hanzhou say, "It's getting late. Mother has already gone to make breakfast. It's time to get up." After that, Wei Hanzhou opened the door and went out.

It took Liu Tangxi a long time to digest what Wei Hanzhou said.

The moment he sat up from the bed, Liu Tangxi was still dazed.

She only remembered that she seemed to be staying up to celebrate the New Year last night. When it was midnight, she fell asleep without realizing it. Then what happened? When did she come back from the main room, and how did she come back?

How come she has no impression of any of this?

Touching his swollen head, Liu Tangxi frowned.

However, after hearing the conversation between Zhang and Wei Daniu outside the house, Liu Tangxi had no time to think and quickly grabbed her clothes and prepared to get up.

The moment he touched the clothes, Liu Tangxi suddenly woke up and stood there in a daze.

So, who took off her clothes?

Was it her? Probably not, she had no impression of it at all.

Liu Tangxi looked down at her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her inner garment was neatly put on.

Then, I quickly put on my clothes, got out of bed and made my bed.

By the time she finished washing up, Li had already finished cooking the dumplings.

After dinner, Li and others went out to pay New Year's greetings, leaving only Zhou and Liu Tangxi at home.

About a quarter of an hour later, people came back one after another.

Li looked at Wei Hanzhou standing in the yard and said, "Third brother, your second grandfather said he wants to see you and wants you to take your wife to visit him."

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi and said, "Okay."

Liu Tangxi didn't know who this second master was, but since Li and Wei Hanzhou both agreed, she followed Wei Hanzhou out.

After they went out, they were the only two left on the road.

There were some questions that had been bothering Liu Tangxi for the entire morning, and now that there was no one else around, he wanted to ask them.

However, those questions were a little difficult to ask and she didn't know how to ask them.

Before she could open her mouth, Wei Hanzhou spoke first.

"The second master is my grandfather's cousin. He is now over 70 years old and the oldest person in the village. Moreover, his eldest son is now the patriarch of the Wei family."

Liu Tangxi didn't care much about these. After hearing what Wei Hanzhou said, he responded vaguely.

Being interrupted by Wei Hanzhou, Liu Tangxi held back the question she wanted to ask.

Soon, the two arrived at the place.

People in Weijia Village come to pay New Year's greetings early. The last wave of people had already passed and the people who came to pay New Year's greetings had gone home. Therefore, when Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi came over, there were no people paying New Year's greetings here.

"Second Master." Wei Hanzhou greeted him.

Liu Tangxi quickly followed Wei Hanzhou and called out, "Second Master."

Wei Erjiang glanced at Wei Hanzhou and said with a smile, "Goudan is here."

Liu Tangxi was originally upset about what happened last night, but when he heard the name, he immediately came to his senses, widened his eyes, and looked at Wei Hanzhou in disbelief.

Although he only saw the side profile, Liu Tangxi also noticed Wei Hanzhou's embarrassment and awkwardness at the moment.

Wei Erjiang's son, the current patriarch of the Wei family, looked at Liu Tangxi's actions, then looked at Wei Hanzhou's expression, and quickly added: "Dad, Hanzhou is now a scholar, why do you still call him by his nickname?"

After his son reminded him, Wei Erjiang also reacted and smiled: "Oh, yes, I am old and confused. Your name is a nickname given to you by your grandfather. When you were born, you were thin and small, so your grandfather gave you this name, saying that a nickname is easier to raise. After so many years, you have grown tall and strong, and you are so good at studying."

Wei Erjiang said he wouldn't talk about it, but during the New Year, he liked to talk about the past and explained the origin of Wei Hanzhou's nickname in detail.

After that, Liu Tangxi didn't care what everyone was talking about. She just sat next to Wei Hanzhou and glanced at him from time to time.

Every time she looked at him, she would think of his nickname. Whenever she thought of that nickname, the cold and aloof image of Wei Hanzhou in her mind would collapse.

By the time the two of them came out, Wei Hanzhou no longer had any image in her mind.

Little shorty, Goudan.

These are totally inconsistent with Wei Hanzhou's current image.

On the way back, Liu Tangxi finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

“Puff!”

Once she laughed out loud, even though Wei Hanzhou was glaring at her with a dark face, Liu Tangxi still couldn't control herself and couldn't stop laughing.

As he laughed, he bent down, squatted on the ground, holding his stomach and laughed.

Wei Hanzhou has endured for a long time.

He had been holding back since Wei Erjiang called out his name just now. At this moment, seeing Liu Tangxi smiling so happily, he clenched his fists at his sides even more.

He wanted to scold her, but somehow, the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

After all, she is not Bosheng, and today is New Year's Day, so it is not good to get angry.

Gradually, Wei Hanzhou suppressed his anger.

"Last night, when my wife was sleeping on my shoulder, her saliva soaked my new clothes."

Suddenly, Liu Tangxi's laughter stopped abruptly, and the whole person looked at Wei Hanzhou blankly as if petrified.

Seeing Liu Tangxi's transformation, Wei Hanzhou's anger suddenly disappeared, and his face returned to its previous calmness. He glanced at the shocked and embarrassed Liu Tangxi, and calmly walked towards home.

Before leaving, he added, "My husband likes cleanliness, my wife, please don't forget to wash him."

Liu Tangxi stared at Wei Hanzhou's back in a daze. After a moment, she finally came to her senses and her face instantly turned red. Then, she waved her fist at Wei Hanzhou's back and cursed him fiercely: "You are indeed a bastard! Wei Sangou, Wei Goudan!"
