It's good that he can't pass the exam, then he will feel relieved, or he can wait a few years. He received a letter from his mother-in-law, which was full of encouragement for him. She kept urging him to continue taking the exam, to work hard, and he would definitely pass the exam if he tried hard. He had confidence in him.
Taking Xiao Lei as an example, the two of them can go to the academy to study together and make progress.
His heart trembled when he saw the letter, but fortunately his mother-in-law came home.
No, why do they expect so much from him? This is difficult to deal with. He knows his own weight, but they don't.
He's under a lot of pressure from people who have too many expectations of him, okay?
How can I put it? It's like there's someone incredibly ugly standing in front of you, and you're frightened to death by the mere sight of them, while someone else is whipping you to hurry up and get married.
How can we have a bridal chamber? I can’t move!
Feeling weak all over!
If the son-in-law passes the exam at this time, he won't even want to go home during the New Year. He will definitely be annoyed to death by his mother-in-law. I don't know why she still thinks that becoming a juren is so easy and simple, and that it's everywhere and anyone can get it.
No, ever since none of Yue's children passed the exam, and those useless people in the village also failed the exam, Yue seemed to have higher expectations of him, thinking that he was born with the talent to study, but his studies had been wasted for decades.
Actually, he is not like his elder brother. He only lives up to the level of a scholar. That is all his ability in his life, and his talent is exhausted.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's not easy to get the scholarship. Just take your time. What Xiaoyu said before is right. You should be down-to-earth and not rush into anything."
Xiao Lei admitted that even if he wanted to run, he couldn't. "Dad is right. This time I'm going to see the world. I know my own strengths and weaknesses.
Not to mention me, even the teacher didn't have much confidence. He said he would probably have to take the exam again next time, and that studying for only one year was far from enough."
"It's so difficult to become a juren." Zhao Dashu sighed, and was glad that he was smart and knew to stop the loss immediately.
"It's really hard. The content is so much more than what we learned before. Dad has seen it too. If Xiaoyu hadn't helped me with math alone, I would have been exhausted."
"It's not easy for you. If you really can't do it, let's not take the exam. It's nice to be a leisurely rich man."
That's not necessary. He said he would earn a royal title for his wife. How could a man go back on his word?
"I'm still holding on."
There was nothing he could do if others had to suffer, Zhao Dashu shrugged.
"Since you have to take an exam, do you still need to take leave to accompany me during the confinement period?" Zhao Xiaoyu thought about it and it didn't make sense. He had no confidence to begin with, so shouldn't he seize the time to study?
"I'm not going to pass the exam anyway. I've already asked the teacher at the academy for leave. I'll stay home and study after you give birth. If you have any questions, I can ask you occasionally."
Zhao Dashu was very satisfied. His daughter had worked hard to give birth to his child. As a man, it was not his responsibility to take a month off to take care of his wife and children.
He said that sometimes he was really grateful to his mother for giving birth to a son. Being a woman was really difficult, especially giving birth. He would wait in the yard for every woman in his family to give birth.
My sister-in-law's breasts were the worst, it was almost like slaughtering a pig.
His wife is not much to be outdone, and his son-in-law is the most tolerant and his mother-in-law is the quietest.
Sometimes he would wonder if he didn't give birth to a son because his wife was too quiet when she gave birth. Should he remind his daughter to kiss louder when she gave birth?
If you ask him whether he wants a boy or a girl, he will definitely want a boy if he is not lying.
Now that he has a son, even if Zhao Laosan has an heir, his family line can no longer be considered extinct.
In his life, what he hated most was people saying that he had no descendants to inherit the family property, especially his family members. Every time he heard it, he wanted to spit in their faces.
"Well, Xiaoyu should take good care of the baby after giving birth. You should pay more attention to the baby at night and don't wake her up. If she doesn't take good care of herself during the confinement period, she will develop chronic illnesses."
"I know."
He took leave just to look after his children and wife, otherwise why would he take such a long leave?
In the yard, all the family members were gathered, except for one person who was out selling goods for money.
"Grandpa, Youfu has been gone for quite a while this time, hasn't he?"
"Well, he said he'd take the opportunity to repair his parents' graves and come back after they're done."
In the capital, they saw other people's graves and decided to repair them. Back then, they were so poor that they couldn't even afford a coffin. Now that they are rich, they can't let the people in the underground suffer.
Qian Youfu discussed with the old man that he wanted to rebuild their tomb and prepare two good coffins so that his parents could live in peace under the tomb.
It's a shame to say that even after living a prosperous life for several years, they had never thought about repairing the tomb. Every time they visited the grave, they just remembered to bring them good food and drink and burn more paper money.
Or maybe he and his grandson lamented that they had no money back then and couldn't afford to buy them a good home, and they didn't know if they would have a good life in the future.
He also said that it was built according to the style of a large tomb built by a wealthy person in the capital city, and that living in it should be comfortable.
These words touched their hearts, so this time Youfu went to repair the tomb. He didn't go because he was afraid that the scene would be too sad to bear, so he would go and talk to them properly during the New Year.
"Repairing a tomb? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"It was a last-minute decision. Two days before Youfu passed away, Lihua said that if we couldn't give him money before, we could just give him money now. We thought it made sense, so we probably won't come too early this time. Besides selling goods, we also have to repair the tomb, and it seems that time of year and other things must be considered."
"There's no rush. It's better to stay in the village for a while."
Zhao Xiaoyu blinked. The tomb of the Qian couple was indeed shabby, unlike her grandfather's tomb, which was quite decent when built and was one of the best in the village.
As the days passed, the weather became warmer and warmer. This summer was really tough on Zhao Xiaoyu.
It's hot, she's really too hot, but she can't always eat cold food. The doctor has repeatedly reminded her not to be too greedy for cold food.
"Mom, were you also afraid of heat when you were pregnant?"
"No, maybe you're in good health. Back then, I didn't sweat even if I didn't do farm work in the summer, and I even had to cover my stomach when I slept at night."
I heard that my daughter only wears her underwear when she goes to bed at night, and even then she still wants her son-in-law to stand by her and fan her until midnight.
"I guess the little thing in my belly is a fire doll."
"What are you talking about?"
"Really? Look, I don't have any reaction. I'm just afraid of the heat. I've been suffering since the weather got warmer."
"That's right, just bear with it, it will come out soon."
Zhao Xiaoyu wanted to cry but had no tears. "It will be cooler by the time he comes out. Mom, do you think he did it on purpose?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? But you are so afraid of the heat that confinement is difficult to endure."
Yes, it makes me want to cry just thinking about it. The confinement period is the hottest time of the year.
