Chapter 96
"Hey, don't talk about him. When he left, he told me that he would return home in 20 years at the most and fulfill your grandfather's last wish. But, it has been more than 30 years now."

Cheng Shun sighed.

That is to say, now that he has given up on his elder brother, he can talk about this person so calmly. If he talked about this person a few years ago, he would have cursed him out loud.

"Father, let's not talk about this. It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies. It was his fault when he left you, who was still young. Father, you promise me one thing!"

Cheng Yue sighed inwardly.

It is not easy to find a person who has been lost for more than 30 years even in modern times, let alone in ancient times when transportation and communication were underdeveloped.

"Okay, let's not talk about him. What do you want Dad to promise you!"

Cheng Shun didn't want to talk about his elder brother either.

"From now on, family matters are up to you, and business matters are up to me. When I earn a lot of money, I will let you and your mother relax, so you can relax and stop working in the fields. Okay? Dad, Look how tired you are every day!"

Cheng Yue said.

Her father is sometimes a bit domineering, but it is rare for him to be so rational and eloquent as he is now. In order to avoid many troubles in the future, she must first grasp the right to speak in her business.

After passing through this village and the store is gone, who knows if her father will not figure it out and take care of her after he goes back.

"Success! Dad is waiting for your good news!"

Cheng Shun saw Cheng Yue's thoughts at a glance, and agreed without saying anything.

"Let's go then, let's keep running!"

Cheng Yue said happily.

"No, no, dad is old and can't run anymore. You can run the rest of the way by yourself! Dad, go and see how the house on the other side of the mountain is doing."

Cheng Shun waved his hands again and again.

He didn't want to run around the village foolishly. It's dawn now, how embarrassing it is for others to see it!

Cheng Yue was dumbfounded to see his father waving his hands and heading towards Shanshui's house.

This cunning little old man, dare you to play the emotional card, don't you think it's necessary to waste time with her daughter?
unacceptable!unacceptable!
Cheng Yue is in such a depressed mood!
Gritting her teeth all the way to finish the last distance, ignoring the people in the village who greeted her on the way, she was really in a bad mood!

She felt that she had been tricked by her father.

……

Time passed quickly, and it was the ninth day of March, which was the time for two scholars in the family to take the exam.

Early in the morning, Cheng Yue, Gu Xuelan and Cheng Wen sent the two children to the examination room.

"Jinyan, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Remember to drink less water and eat less, and your parents and aunt will pick you up in the afternoon the day after tomorrow!"

Gu Xuelan seemed much more nervous than Cheng Jinyan.

"Mom, why are you comforting brother, don't you care about me? I'm very nervous, but brother is very calm."

Cheng Jinxing said dissatisfiedly on the side.

The whole family is eccentric, hum!
"You brat, give me the exam honestly, and if you pass the exam, mother will reward you with a tael of silver!"

Gu Xuelan kicked Cheng Jinxing angrily, and then seduced him with money.

"Cut, it's only one or two taels of silver? Then I might as well cut a few more days of paper for my aunt, and it will be one or two taels in ten days."

Cheng Jinxing curled his lips. Now he earns a hundred dollars a day.

It's not that he doesn't look down on the one-two, but that he thinks it's much easier to get one-two through paper-cutting than to get into Tongsheng.
