Chapter 81: Going to take the Children's Exam
Zhang and Bai were startled and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.
Liang Lizheng: "What's going on?"
It was obvious from Liang Lizheng's attitude that he was protecting Xu Zhichun. Both of them were a little dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say it.
Zhang: "Village head, please judge for yourself. This Xu doesn't keep his word."
After hearing what Zhang said, Liang Lizheng, as expected, started to scold her: "Are you anxious now? The whole village was eager to buy more sweet potatoes, but you ignored them. Why are you so anxious now? Zhichun hasn't even finished planting her own land yet, so how can she give you these vines first? That doesn't make sense. How about this, don't ask Zhichun for vines in the future. She has a lot of land and a lot to do. We have also raised a lot of seedlings, so we can afford ten pounds. You can come to me and ask for them. It's also one penny per pound. This is for Zhichun's sake. If someone else wanted to buy it, one penny per pound would not be enough. Whether it is expensive or cheap, you know yourselves, right?"
Liang Lizheng spoke in a barrage of words, leaving no room for questioning and leaving no room for the other two to speak.
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Thank you, Li Zhengbo."
Bai was furious and glanced at Xu Zhichun: "Thank you for what? What does that mean? Are you disrespecting them, your elders, right in front of them?"
Liang Lizheng chuckled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, Zhichun. You two understand, right? When the sweet potato vines grow back in a few days, I'll have your sister-in-law come to your house and ask you to pick them up. Don't worry. Is there anything else?"
Zhang and Bai hesitated.
Liang Lizheng: "By the way, let me say a few words. It's not easy for Zhichun to take care of Mingxuan alone. You aunts and uncles should also pay attention to them. They have a lot of land that has not been planted yet. Are you -"
"Would you like to come over and help plant one sometime?"
Before Liang Lizheng finished speaking, Zhang and Bai guessed what he was going to say and were shocked.
Zhang was frightened and quickly interrupted: "Head of the village, we have a lot of things to do at home and are busy. We don't have time to help. Mingxuan has stopped studying, but he is not a child anymore and can work in the fields! I think it's enough to have him help."
Mrs. Bai: "Yes, yes. Everyone praises Mingxuan for his intelligence. I believe he is better at farming than others. Why would he need us? I still have a lot of work to do at home. I'll be leaving now."
"I'm leaving first."
The two sisters-in-law didn't give Liang Lizheng any chance to speak again and ran away in a hurry.
Xu Zhichun suppressed his laughter and thanked him sincerely again: "Thank you, Lizheng Bo."
Although she could handle it, less trouble was always a good thing.
Liang Lizheng shook his head and sighed. One of these two was simply stupid, and the other was too smart. Just try your best, but don't do anything stupid. Otherwise, you will end up hurting yourself in the future and can't blame others.
They kept saying that Mingxuan didn't study and told everyone in the village about it. They said that Mingxuan was reviewing at home but they just couldn't understand him, and they arrogantly thought that this was an excuse.
hehe.
Fortunately, Mingxuan is broad-minded, otherwise he would have been instigated by them to quarrel with his sister-in-law.
"You're welcome. Ignore their nonsense. Let Mingxuan focus on studying for the exam. It's in seven or eight days, right?"
"Um."
"Tell Mingxuan to study hard. If you have any questions, come to me. No one is allowed to disturb Mingxuan from studying at this time. That's what I said."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Li Zheng!"
Xu Zhichun's thanks came from the bottom of his heart.
Liang Lizheng nodded and left.
These days, Liang, the village head, has been wandering around the village entrance when he has nothing to do. The villagers who passed by saw him and everyone understood that the village head is determined not to allow a single sweet potato vine to leave Liangjia Village.
The group of people who were originally eager to try growing sweet potato vines because they thought they were so easy to grow finally gave up completely.
I don’t dare anymore.
If anyone dares to make trouble again, Liang Lizheng will not let him off easily.
This is definitely not just Liang Lizheng's idea. The village elders and clan elders must all agree with it.
Forget it, this is originally a good thing of the village. Zhichun is kind-hearted and generously shares it with everyone. Don't be so ungrateful. If you damage the interests of the village and get driven away, it will not be worth it.
The tomatoes that Xu Zhichun had germinated and planted had sprouted and grown to more than two inches tall, which made people happy to see.
Of course, one tomato seed was not enough, so she specially got some more from the warehouse to ensure that a lot of them would germinate and survive.
Unfortunately, there are no ready-made potted plants in the space warehouse, so the sowing step cannot be skipped.
The strawberries have not sprouted yet and are bare, but Xu Zhichun is not in a hurry. He has sown so many strawberry seeds, it is impossible for them not to sprout, it just may take a little longer.
Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhu'er obviously didn't take the tomatoes and strawberries seriously and didn't ask a single question. However, when the three of them were together, they talked a lot about the flowers and plants they were planting.
Xu Zhichun didn't tell them for the time being.
Don't be in a hurry, wait until it is time to transplant. Persuade them to plant some, and the result will surprise everyone.
On the day of the Tongshi exam, Xu Zhichun and his colleagues deliberately closed their stall for a day.
Not only Xu Zhichun was nervous, but Liang Lizheng, Zhu'er's aunt and others couldn't help but feel nervous as well.
Liang Lizheng had many things he wanted to tell Liang Mingxuan, but he was afraid that Liang Mingxuan would be under too much pressure, so he didn't dare to say much. In the end, he only said, "Mingxuan, you are still young. Your sister-in-law is right. Just do your best. We will have many opportunities in the future. There is no need to rush. Uncle Lizheng didn't mean anything else. Uncle Lizheng didn't disbelieve in your ability. It's just that you are still young. Those other people have already grown up. It's normal that you can't compare with them - no, no, no, that's not what I said. Some people are just taller, how can they compare with our Mingxuan! Well, anyway, that's what I mean. Uncle Lizheng believes in you, believes in you, just keep going, keep going!"
Xu Zhichun tried to hold back her laughter. She was very nervous originally, but now she felt less nervous.
Liang Mingxuan was silent and nodded, "Don't worry, Lizheng, I understand."
"Okay, okay, the village head knows you're a smart kid! Okay, I won't say much, you guys go quickly. Zhichun, you guys take good care of Mingxuan."
"Don't worry, Li Zhengbo."
Liang Mingliang drove the cart, accompanied by Xu Zhichun and Zeng Xiaoyan. In addition to Liang Lizheng, many villagers also came to see him off and accompanied him all the way to the village entrance. Liang Mingxuan sat quietly on the ox cart, surrounded by countless auspicious words of blessing. Xu Zhichun responded to each of his questions with a smile, feeling emotional and warm in his heart.
Uncle Liang and Mrs. Zhang were also on the ox cart, and both of them had forced smiles.
Yesterday, Mr. Liang went to Liang Lizheng's house specifically to rent an ox cart. Today, the couple was going to the city to accompany their son Liang Mingxiang to take the Tongshi exam.
Uncle Liang was all smiles, talking about renting a car, but in reality, he was just waiting for the village head to say, "No need to rent, just use it." After all, his youngest son was now the only educated person in the village, and wasn't that what the village head valued most? How could he possibly ask them to rent a car?
