"I can't eat."
By the river, Liu Shunzi ran into the equally anxious village chief.
"You said it's not our exam, why are we so anxious?" The village chief was puzzled. He went to see the big tree taking the exam and they were not as nervous as they were.
"Yes, big trees are really powerful. They can hold anything steady, no matter how big it is."
"The key is that their families can also remain stable. Look at Song and Xiaoyu. Two people in the family are taking exams, so they can still do what they should do."
"So, in the end, we were just too impatient, weren't we?"
"Definitely."
Needless to say, they just couldn't keep themselves steady.
"We didn't dare show it at home. The child was nervous enough, and seeing us like this would probably make him even more nervous."
"Yeah, it's out now. Village chief, I'm going to buy a pig's head tomorrow and stew it to nourish my brain. Do you want to come with me?"
"Can pig brains nourish you? My wife used to say fish brains are the best."
"Who told you that, sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law, they say fish brains are good for the brain, and fish eyes are good for the eyes. Their family often makes fish soup for Dashu and Xiaolei."
"Buy fish. I'll go buy fish every day."
Liu Shunzi went down to the river to fish out the fish that had not been sold. He was determined not to let his son suffer a loss.
"Actually, we really don't need to be too nervous. Don't you even know your own child's weight? The teacher has already said that this time we're just letting them try it out and experience it."
The teacher doesn't think their children can pass, so why are they so anxious?
"That being said, I always think about what might happen, don't you think, Village Chief? Actually, I feel honored for my family just to be able to enter the examination hall."
"Me too. I never dared to think about it before. But now at least everyone can read, right?"
"Really?"
The two men had comforted each other and had held out some hope before, but now they had lost all hope.
They are just going to be killed and serve as foils for others. Why should they be so nervous?
"Village chief, when are you going to the county town?"
"I plan to go there five days in advance, just like I did with Dashu."
"Well, we're close to the county town anyway. Have you packed up your house?"
"I'll ask someone to clean up in a few days," the village chief thought of the two families who had no houses in the county town and were going to take the exam this time.
"I've already told the Xu family that they can just live with us for now. As for Zhao Dawen, he can do whatever he wants."
"It's not like he doesn't have a house in the county town. Why do you need to worry about him?"
"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. It seems he has always rented a house in the county town."
"Yes, the rent is enough to stay in the inn. We can just take care of ourselves."
If the tree doesn't grow, who else can he lean on?
Who cares about him?
"By the way, their child, Xiaoxiao, should be able to go, right?"
"It's hard to say," the village chief shook his head, expressing his pessimism. "Do you still remember why you didn't pass the exam?"
"It seems that the test paper was soiled." Liu Shunzi said recallingly.
"That's right, that kid is just as anxious as we are. He gets nervous when encountering something. Do you think he can do well in the exam with that mentality?"
"Zhao Dawen must have told him not to be nervous."
"The problem is that sometimes the more you tell him, the more nervous he gets. Shunzi, do you understand me?"
Liu Shunzi nodded slightly, then smirked, "If he still can't succeed, his father will probably go crazy."
