This kid follows me like a tail, buzzing all the time, which has seriously disturbed my studies.
"Brother Li's home? Great, great."

Two years later, an extraordinary child prodigy appeared in Qingshui Town. The eight-year-old boy passed the examination for a student. Suddenly, Li Changsheng became famous in the surrounding area.
Li Changsheng's father walked into Wei Xiucai's house carrying a fish. He saw the Wei family members sitting in the lobby. Although they were farmers, they were not shy.
"Mr. Wei, the little girl of the Wei family and my son Changsheng, childhood sweethearts, should be a pair of mandarin ducks. The magpie chirped this morning, and we can reiterate the agreement we made a year ago."
The Li family is a farming family. If the Wei family had heard this before, they would naturally not agree. Even if Wei Xiucai wanted to agree, others would obstruct him in every possible way.
They had been rejected once before. This farmer Li just wanted to marry into the Wei family's upper class, so naturally they would not agree.
Now everyone present was silent.
Wei Xiucai smiled and repeated what he had said a year ago, saying: "The Li family did not stop their business because of poverty, and Changsheng did not consider farming as lowly. There will be no setbacks in their plans, so what is the problem with being poor?"
I took the grass carp. Although the betrothal gift was simple, it was enough.

Wei Xi was thirteen years old, and her body gradually grew up, becoming a well-known little beauty. If she had not been engaged to a child, I'm afraid that the number of people proposing marriage every year would have broken down the door of the Wei family.
"Longevity."
In the fields of the mountain village, Li Changsheng was lying on the grass, looking at the buffaloes at home not far away. A clear and pleasant sound came into his ears, and he looked up slightly to see a girl with a little baby fat, wearing a light yellow long skirt and holding a red three-layer food box in her hand, standing ten steps away from him.
Wei Xi came over and sat down beside him, then took out a bowl of red bean porridge from the lunch box.
"I cooked some red bean porridge."
Li Changsheng opened his mouth slightly, and Wei Xi understood what he meant, blew the red beans cool, and gently put them into his mouth.
He asked softly, "Father asked me to ask if you are ready this year. You will register at the Science and Technology News next month."
"..." Li Changsheng did not answer. Wei Xi felt that he was somewhat resistant to the imperial examination for some reason, so she did not ask any more questions and quietly fed him red beans one spoonful at a time.
Finally, after finishing a bowl of red bean porridge, Li Changsheng spoke up and said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Xi'er, if I fail the imperial examination and become the top scholar, will you still marry me?"
Wei Xi smiled and answered without hesitation: "Yes, we will grow old together."
When Li Changsheng took the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, he returned empty-handed and was stripped of his status as a scholar, forbidden from taking the imperial examination again for the rest of his life.
For a time, people from all over the town were laughing at him. His previous reputation was so high, and his fall was so tragic. In order to avoid suspicion, his former friends broke off relations with him one after another.
My father fell seriously ill because he couldn't accept it.
Wei Xi was fifteen years old and it was time for her to get married.
A formal marriage with three books and six ceremonies, a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, and a ten-mile red makeup.
It should have been so, but unfortunately because of some things in the court, Li Changsheng fell to the bottom.
That night, Wei Xi packed her bag, took off her jewelry and makeup as a lady from a wealthy family, and came to the Li family carrying only red silk.
She came alone with a beautiful smile.
"Changsheng, I have reached the age of marriage, you can marry me now."
Back then, the betrothal gift was only a fish, and now the dowry only includes her, which is enough.
