"Okay, then we'll wait for the old man to treat us to dinner!"
"Yeah yeah!"
After everyone had left, Old Man Lin asked, "Is it okay to leave these fruit seedlings here?"
The old man said, "Okay, I'll ask White Wolf to come over and watch over it at night."
Old Man Lin said, "Can they do it?"
"Of course they can. This isn't the first time we've let them see things, so don't worry!"
Seeing that Laozi was so confident, Old Man Lin felt a little relieved and went back with the Xu family, leaving only Xiao Ba to watch over the two white wolves.
Qibao was a little surprised that Xiaoba was willing to stay outside. Usually, this guy didn't even want to go out. There were already several dogs in the village pursuing him and they often came to see him, but Xiaoba just didn't want to interact with them and just lay lazily at home and slept.
The other dogs in the village took the opportunity tonight and followed over, but Xiao Ba stayed next to the white wolf, and the other dogs didn't dare to come forward. They could only lie on the ground from a distance and look at this side.
Everyone was very tired tonight, so we just cooked some potato flour for dinner to fill our stomachs, tidied ourselves up, fell into bed and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, the workers came to work on time, and people from the village who came to help plant the fruit seedlings also came.
Another busy day begins. The foot of Daqing Mountain is bustling with activity. Children from the village also come to join in the fun, and the sounds of playing and fighting are everywhere.
Qibao looked at the children in the village and an idea gradually grew in his mind, but he had to think about it carefully.
Only after all the fruit seedlings were planted did the Xu family finally breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, they watered them with some spiritual spring water and the whole thing was done.
Looking at the originally empty land, which was now full of fruit seedlings, I was so happy in my heart, because this would be full of money in the future.
After two days, the foundation of the workshop has been dug and the walls can be built tomorrow, which brings us one step closer to success.
This is Old Man Lin’s first time as a manager, so he pays close attention to every little thing. Although he doesn’t need to do any physical work, he cares more about it than others.
Qibao was very satisfied. Details determine success or failure. Grandpa's personality was suitable for management. As they got familiar with the job, he would definitely do better, so she felt relieved.
………
Until April, the Xu family workshop was still in full swing. During this period, Manager Hong and Manager Tong also came to the Xu family.
Manager Hong came to deliver the pills and silver. Over the past few months, the Xu family earned tens of thousands of taels of silver from pills alone. Add to that the barbecue restaurant and greenhouse vegetables, and the Xu family's annual income is nearly 200,000 taels of silver, which is a considerable sum.
My brothers and sisters are back today because my eldest brother is going to take the Tongsheng exam. Other students from the academy have also signed up, including the village chief’s grandson Shitou.
The academy therefore gave the students three days off to allow them to come back and prepare well. This year's Tongsheng exam would be held in Huamen Town, supervised by the local official and two officials sent from above.
In the past two days, Wang made a lot of delicious food for the eldest brother to nourish him, because the eldest brother spends a lot of time studying every day, which is very demanding on his brain. Sometimes Shi Tou from the village chief's family will come over to discuss academic problems with the eldest brother.
The other brothers also knew that they couldn’t disturb their eldest brother at this time, so they were much quieter when doing things and talking at home.
It was not until the afternoon before the exam that the old man personally took his eldest grandson and Qibao to the town, with Uncle Xu driving the horse-drawn carriage.
They settled down in the house in the town in advance. Since the examination for the Tongsheng degree only took one day, the Xu family was not worried.
The next morning, the old man got up early and took them out for breakfast. Qibao also brought a bamboo tube of spiritual spring water for his eldest brother. It looked no different from ordinary water. The candidates had to check everything they brought to make sure there were no problems before they could enter the examination room.
The examination hall was located in a large courtyard next to the yamen, which was specifically used for examinations.
When Qibao, his grandfather and his uncle arrived at the entrance of the examination room, it was already surrounded by people who had come to send their children to take the exam.
It's not time yet, and all I hear are parents telling their children to do well in the exams and bring honor to our family...
Qibao doesn't agree with saying this at this time. Saying this at this time will undoubtedly add pressure to the already nervous candidates.
"Brother, you are here too?" Suddenly a voice came from behind.
The old man turned around and saw the village chief greeting them with a stone behind him.
"Yes, today is such an important day, of course I have to come!"
"Your son Wenwu will definitely pass the exam. I often hear Shitou say that Wenwu is highly regarded by the teacher in the academy. He will definitely pass the exam this time!" said the village chief.
"Okay, I hope my Wenwu and your Shitou can get good grades!"
Xu Wenwu said, "Grandpa, Uncle Village Chief, I saw the teacher from the academy. I need to go over and gather with him now. Otherwise, he will definitely be worried if we are not all here."
"Let's go together!" said Stone.
"Okay, go ahead and don't be too stressed. Grandpa is waiting for you outside!"
Xu Wenwu and Shitou nodded and headed towards their teacher.
After a while, the candidates began to line up to enter the examination room. Two officers stood at the door. They had to open and check each candidate's belongings one by one, and also search them.
Qibao thought, no wonder they had to come so early in the morning! It would take a long time to check all the candidates one by one!
After all the candidates were checked, the door of the examination room was closed when the time was up, leaving a group of parents waiting outside.
