Zhao Dawen narrowed his eyes. He was thinking not only of his son, but also of himself. If there was a suitable teacher, it would not be a problem for him to take the exam twice more.
"I heard from my third brother that the other party is just a scholar."
"We just listened to what the third brother said. Who knows the details? As the head of the family, the future of the child is important."
"When I get back to the village, I will go and ask around. If he is really a powerful one, I will squeeze my two children in even if I have to force them." Including himself.
My third brother has already paid the tuition, so they naturally don’t have to pay more.
There is really no other choice but to move my mother out.
Zhao Jiadong felt relieved that his father was willing to ask for help for them. He believed that the teacher was definitely more capable than his own father.
"Master, shall we go back to the village today or tomorrow?" After the exam, Wang didn't want to stay here any longer. No matter how beautiful this place was, it was not their home. She was worried about the land and pigs at home.
"Let's go back tomorrow." He had planned to stay here to study, but now he decided to give up, as he was afraid that he would get so angry that he would vomit blood.
He really wanted to know how much knowledge his third brother and Xiao Lei had. If he tested them when he came back tonight, would they accept the challenge?
Zhao Dawen was thinking all the way...
"Jiadong, your parents want to have a good sleep today. If you are hungry, go to the kitchen and get something to eat." Wang, who rarely stayed up late, had not slept much for two nights, and her eyelids were drooping.
"Hey, you guys go and have a rest." Zhao Jiadong knew that they didn't sleep, but what did it have to do with him? They weren't worried about him.
On the kang.
"Master, is the eldest brother's marriage going to be arranged?"
"Yes, we can't delay any longer. We promised him but he refused. It's a pity that he didn't marry a wife who can help him. He has to rely on himself in the future."
"It was a big loss for Ruxin to go to the Qian family. If it weren't for this, the eldest and second sons wouldn't have arranged such a bad marriage, and Ruxin wouldn't be unable to get married now."
"Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. It's all fate." Boss Zhao didn't want to admit that he had done anything wrong.
There are fewer people taking the exam now and there is no such thing as a bad number. Everyone has a good seat and they are all together, so it is very easy to find a number.
"Uncle Zhao, here's your exam number. Please sit down. My portrait is right next to you."
"Tuo, I won't go with you if it's this close."
"Uncle San, mine is here too. We are all together."
"Just find someone. Go and get ready." Compared to his future son-in-law, Zhao Dashu was quite cold towards his eldest nephew.
The bell rang and their last exam began. Zhao Dashu was amazed at this exam. He thought he was old enough, but he was not considered old among this group of people.
There were several old men who could barely walk steadily holding exam baskets, and their hands were shaking as they watched them organize their things.
Why bother?
What's the use of passing the exam? You'll still end up in the coffin anyway, so it's better to enjoy your old age in peace.
After taking the test question, Zhao Dashu let out a long sigh. The teacher was right. The Tongba exam was not easy either. Each one was harder than the last, especially the last one.
He asked why fame and fortune were so difficult to obtain.
Zhao Dashu read the paper carefully and thought for a long time before he started writing - making a draft.
Xiao Lei sat upright in the small examination room, studying slowly and thinking about how to answer the questions.
There was no other sound in the examination room except for the patrol officers. Everyone was deep in thought, some with furrowed brows, some with sweat on their foreheads, and some biting their pens in a daze.
