Chapter 447 Uncle Zhang, I'll help you clean up (2/2)



"good."

We climbed up and down, and when we reached the top of the mountain, it was already evening. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the top of the mountain, dyeing the entire top of the mountain golden.

Zhao Xiaoyu stood at the door of the inn, looking at the rolling hills in the distance and the twinkling lights below the hills, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so beautiful!"

The lights at the foot of the mountain are the lanterns lit by the shops.

Xiao Yu came up to him warmly and asked, "Sir, are you staying at the hotel?"

"I want three upper rooms."

The inn here is as unique as others have said, all wooden houses, and there are two two-story wooden houses at a glance. The mountain is humid, so the house is about 50 centimeters off the ground, and there are countless thick wooden piles underneath to support the weight of the house. With the surrounding scenery, it is very artistic, and she likes it.

"Come on! We have prepared meals in our inn, and the cook will still be in the kitchen at midnight. If you need anything, just let us know."

The service is comprehensive.

Xiao Er took them to a room, a simple house. As it was a wooden house, there was no Kang (bathbed) inside, only a bed, a simple table and a few stools. Because there was no Kang (bathbed) there was a special cabinet for the luggage.

Song was also looking around the house. "My girl, there is no kang here. No wonder you don't entertain guests when the weather gets cold."

"Well, it's dangerous to go up the mountain in winter. It's cold here. I think the shopkeeper will leave when it gets cold."

"We came at a good time today. It's not too cold or too hot, and the scenery is just right."

"Well, mother, should we eat at the inn tonight or go out? I heard there are several restaurants and even two wine shops nearby."

"Let's eat at the inn," Song pounded her sore thigh, "I've been living too comfortably these past few years. Look, I only worked for a few hours today and my waist and legs are sore. It's more tiring than a day of farm work before."

"Master, wait a moment. I'll make the bed and come to give you a massage to soothe you."

"So, mother, isn't it good that I asked you to exercise often? Look at grandma, running around the village every day to join in the fun. Then look at uncle, who is stronger? Good health is something that cannot be bought with any amount of money. Don't listen to what those ladies say about not leaving the house or stepping out of the door. If you don't step out when you are young, you will have to be carried by others when you are old. It's just a slight soreness now, and it will only hurt more tomorrow."

Song was shocked. Will it hurt more tomorrow? Is she so weak? She used to be exhausted only during the autumn harvest and spring ploughing. Her whole body seemed to have been crushed. "I will follow you to exercise."

I have indeed relaxed myself in the past few years and my life has been so good.

Zhao Dashu had three masks on his face. He turned a deaf ear to everything outside and focused on doing the test paper.

He couldn't concentrate because the test was not easy and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to finish it.

This time the test questions were more than what the teacher usually gave them. The people who came to the toilet thought his attire was strange. Why did the people who got the stinky numbers this year dress so strangely? They were well prepared. If it were me, I would just have to endure it.

I took another look at Zhao Dashu's outfit and planned to make a few later in preparation for the next exam.

Three days later, mother and daughter sat in the carriage waiting for the examinees. This time, none of them handed in their papers in advance. Song was afraid that someone might get a bad number, so she called for an extra carriage.

"Sister, why haven't Dad and brother-in-law come out yet?"

"Hasn't anyone else come out yet? Wait a little longer."

Zhao Dashu started copying the test paper on the morning of the third day. Doing the questions took him a lot of time. After copying, he only checked it twice before it was time to hand in the paper.

The first game was so difficult that he felt he might not be able to perform in the third game.

After the test papers were collected, everyone heard the exit bell and stood up, packed up their things and prepared to leave.

During the exam, several people fainted in the examination room due to exhaustion and were carried out by the yamen runners.

Zhao Dashu thought that they were definitely not exhausted, but were probably fainted because the test paper was too difficult. Poor thing, when he went to the toilet, he saw one of them being carried out like a dead fish.

There was also a case where someone voluntarily gave up and didn't want to continue taking the exam. He cried loudly when he was being held, and was threatened by the yamen runners not to disturb others.

It's always an exam, and there's everything.

Before I could finish packing, Xiao Lei came over and said, "Uncle, I'll help you."
