The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 31 Controversy over exam submission

Yang Chunsheng stood up instantly and shouted outside: "At home, coming, coming."

After saying that, he walked out of the house, and Yang Dashan followed him out of the main room.

In the main room, you could vaguely hear voices speaking, but you couldn't make out what was specifically said.

After a while, the Yang family's father and son walked in with somewhat solemn expressions.

Seeing that the two people looked strange, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked: "What, what happened?"

"Yang Er came over to report that the youngest daughter-in-law of my third uncle's family fell down while pregnant. The barefoot doctor in the village can't solve it. She will be sent to the county seat now. Please quickly take five taels of silver and ask the boss to send it to her."

The third uncle was a relative of Lao Yangtou who lived next door to him. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang stood up neatly. As he walked, he muttered: What a sin! Why did this good thing fall down? This niece-in-law is usually very cautious, but because she is her first child, she did not return to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang walked out of the room with the money, handed the money to the boss and warned: "Don't let your mistresses and others get angry. If the money is not enough, just say it. Human life is the most important thing now."

"understood."

Yang Dashan took the silver and ran out of the door.

The lively atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent. Mrs. Zhang saw that her little daughter's face was not very good, and she suddenly thought of something.

He immediately smiled and said: "Boss and wife, it's almost time, prepare lunch!"

Zhao Yunxi looked at the lonely look on Yang's face and felt inexplicably strange. But if you don’t talk about your elders’ affairs, it’s hard for you to ask them. Silently holding Yang's hand, he gave her support.

Two days later.

Zhao Yunxi and the others were ready to return to Shatian Village.

When she came, Mrs. Yang brought some cotton, fabrics and cakes bought last year for her two elders.

When returning home, the Yang family brought a lot of fruits stored in the cellar and the glutinous rice that Zhao Yunxi liked to eat to their daughter's family.

The Yang family members standing at the door shouted to the people who were gradually walking away: "Dani, please be careful on the road with your children. Yunzheng, Yunqin, Xiaojiu, come to grandpa's house to play when you have time."

Zhao Yunxi looked back at everyone and waved: "My dear, I'll be here again in March, and I'm going to transplant the fruit trees. My grandma, uncle and aunt, please take good care of your health. I'll see you next time, little Zhuzhu." "

In the past two days, the Yang family had eaten and drank water from space springs. Everyone was happy to say that their little sister and children were back home, and even the water was sweeter than usual.

At the entrance of the village, Zhao Yunxi's family got on the bullock cart returning to the village. It was already two hours later when we arrived at Shatin Village.

The four of them entered the courtyard and went to the main room to say hello to the second elder. Yang took out the fruits, dried fruits and fermented glutinous rice that he had brought back.

Mrs. Zhou looked at it and said, "What your parents give you and the children cannot take, your eldest brother can keep it for yourself."

Yang said with a smile: "Mom, I brought a lot at home, and the children can't eat much. You two can keep these to eat, and you can entertain guests when they come."

Mrs. Zhou knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was not a fussy person, so she kept some of it with intention.

Yang, who had been gone for two days, missed Zhao Youliang. After dividing the things, she returned to her room.

When Mrs. Yang entered the house, she saw the children talking to her husband about interesting things about the past two days.

In the evening, the Zhao family had just finished dinner.

Old Zhaotou looked at his eldest grandson and said: "Dalang, you are going back to the academy after the Lantern Festival. You will have to wait until your exams are over before we can meet each other. Relax, don't be anxious, and roll the paper Be sure not to get it dirty. You and Yunsong must wear thicker clothes. There are many people who get sick and freeze to death during exams every year, so you must keep warm."

Seeing his grandfather's worried look, Zhao Yunzheng said firmly: "Ah, I will pay attention to these things. Don't worry too much. Master said that I will be fine in the county examination."

After hearing Changsun's words, Old Zhaotou's face looked much better.

"Aweng, we have a bullock cart at home. When the time comes, we can just go to the county town to send the eldest and second brothers to the examination room!" Hearing his granddaughter's words, Old Zhaotou's cloudy eyes flashed with light.

Zhao Yunqin followed up and said: "Yes, Aweng. Anyway, there is no work at home at that time. When the time comes, you come to the county town and we will send the eldest and second brothers to the examination room together."

Seeing his wife's hesitation, Mrs. Zhou also gave some advice. In the end, Old Zhaotou finally nodded and said that he would go to the county seat to take the exam when the time came.

After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the three Zhao Yunzheng brothers returned to the academy.

The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month is the time for a blessing ceremony in Sha Tin Village.

Storing grain is a ritual held for next year's harvest.

In the evening, Old Zhaotou took his family to the square. Zhao Youliang, who had been recuperating for nearly five months, also went out today.

On the way to the square, people kept asking about Zhao Youliang's situation, and told him to be more careful in the future. Faced with everyone's kindness, Zhao Youliang patiently answered them one by one and expressed his gratitude at the same time.

Half an hour later, village chief Zhao Youde walked onto the stage in the square, looked at the villagers and shouted loudly: "The blessing ceremony has officially begun."

As soon as the words fell, the drummers and gongs started to act in unison, and the atmosphere was instantly pushed to its peak.

"Pray to God for blessings, Sha Tin Village will have good weather and a bumper harvest this year."

"Pray to God for blessings, Sha Tin Village will have good weather and a bumper harvest this year."

Listening to the villagers' shouts, Zhao Yunxi was deeply shocked.

Watching my uncle light the firecrackers placed outside the grain circle.

Everyone started dancing around the bonfire to pray, and kept shouting loudly: "Good weather and good harvest."

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it’s the day before the county exam.

Several members of the Zhao family went to the county town to send their children for exams, and it happened that Zhao Youliang also went to have a look at his legs. After all, spring plowing was about to begin, and it was impossible for him not to work in the fields.

In the county town.

Old Zhaotou looked at the second brother walking out of the inn and said hurriedly: "How about it, are there any rooms in this inn?"

Zhao Youcai shook his head feebly: "The shopkeeper said: The inn was fully booked five days ago."

Zhao Yunxi saw that the remote inn in front of him was fully booked, and he already expected that the situation in the next inn would be similar. They did arrive a little late, but they couldn't give up. What if they were lucky and someone checked out?
  With this idea in mind, the Zhao family traveled all over the southeast, northwest, and no one came across anyone checking out.

Looking at his exhausted family, Zhao Yunxi began to feel anxious. I thought if it didn't work out, I would look for a residential area to see if it could be like a B&B in my previous life.

Zhao Yunxi did what he said, after asking all the houses around the examination room.

The family stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, full of worry.

"If it doesn't work, go back! The city gate is about to be closed."

Seeing everyone's lonely expressions, Zhao Yunxi could only admit it even if he was unwilling to do so.

Zhao Yunxi turned around and got on the bullock cart, looking at the houses on both sides with some regret, how could every house be full.

The Zhao family, who was feeling depressed, sat in an ox cart and walked along the street toward the city gate.

As soon as he walked out of the main road, Zhao Yunxi heard shouts from behind him.
