On the day of the exam.
The village chief's wife got up in the middle of the night, cooked porridge, pancakes, and fried eggs for her son, and prepared the things he needed for the exam. Only when she saw that it was almost dark did she let the child get up.
While serving him food, the village chief reminded him of the things he needed to pay attention to during the exam.
The Song family is even more so. The elderly sleep little, and those who have something on their minds can't sleep at all.
The old couple hardly slept the whole night. When they got up, they found that everyone in the family was also up and the kitchen light was on.
"Don't make porridge, okay? If you drink too much, you'll have to hold your urine while doing your homework, which is uncomfortable."
"Hey, Zhiyu, just give me the pancakes and drink a few sips of the egg soup."
"Have you packed up your things? Check a few more times to make sure you don't leave anything behind."
"Everything is packed and checked many times."
"Look again later, all of you, you'll be really clueless if you drop something."
"I know."
The sky is not yet fully light, but the county town is already bustling with activity. Only during these few days of the year is the early morning the town busiest.
Inside the mule cart.
"Look over the test paper first and write once you have a clear idea of what you are going to do. Don't rush, okay?"
"Grandpa Zhiyu, the teacher has already told us everything."
"If you're tired, close your eyes and take a rest. I'll be with you guys soon."
"Not tired, I had a good rest last night. Luckily, grandpa lit some calming incense, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to sleep."
"It's normal. No one in the family slept well."
"Go and have a rest after you leave."
"good!"
Several families all have mule carts, and it is fast to get to the test site by mule cart.
The old man looked at the dense crowd of people and his legs weakened. "Oh my god, so many people are taking the exam?"
"Well, there are always many people taking any exam. I heard that there are even more people taking the Xiucai and Juren exams. Grandpa, let's go and line up first."
"Go ahead."
The line is so long, I don't know how long it will take?
There are so many people, but only a few are admitted. Almost none of those who came today were admitted. It's really not easy.
After seeing it, he realized how powerful Dashu and Lei Zi were. They didn't just take one exam, they took the exam for the scholar as well. No wonder it caused such a sensation at the time.
What a talented son-in-law!
I'll have to write him a letter someday and advise him to make more progress. Such a good brain will soon become rusty.
What a pity.
Zhao Dawen and his family were still in a hurry, with Wang carrying all their belongings. Even the two scholars could not keep up with her pace.
"Mom, please rent a mule cart in advance next time. I really can't stand it."
"How can you be so out of breath after such a short distance? Jiadong, you can't do this. What will happen when you get married? After the exam, you three must move every day.
Even if you don't work in the fields, you must walk around the yard for an hour every day. Anyone who doesn't walk will not be allowed to eat."
It's not that she is cruel, she really is doing this for their own good.
Zhao Dawen was actually in good health before. When he first got married, he would walk while studying every day. After settling in the county town, the less he moved, the weaker he became and his health worse.
In recent years, Jian Yu has become a useless person. Not only can he not walk or work, he can't even move on the kang.
No, it should be said that he had been in poor condition for many years, and after being exploited by Xiaohong, he was completely gone.
He gave all the last tenderness in his life to the little bitch, and she got nothing.
If it wasn't for the child, she really didn't want him. What was the reason?
Fortunately, I can make money by copying some books, otherwise it would be a waste of food.
Her son couldn't do that. It wasn't that she felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, but she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it and cheat on her son.
