The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 80
Mrs. Zhou is putting the cleaned duck into the pot, adding fennel, garlic, salt, green onion, ginger and rice wine. The cooked juice has a faint fragrance of green onion.

Li Caiwei sniffed, "Er Niang, what are you doing?"

"Drunk duck."

"It smells delicious."

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and smiled, "Jiasheng is going to take part in the provincial examination in a few days. He said he likes this dish the most, so I made it for him."

"Jiasheng is going to take the provincial examination?" Li Caiwei was a little surprised, this is great news.

Mrs. Zhou nodded, but there was some sadness on her face. When Li Caiwei saw it, she immediately asked, "Er Niang, is it difficult at home?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "There is no one in the family earning money now. Jiasheng will spend more than 20 taels of silver for taking the exam this time, plus travel and accommodation expenses. I have only saved 20 taels of silver over the years. Xuan is going to marry a daughter-in-law again."

When Li Caiwei heard it, she knew what Zhou meant, "Er Niang, don't worry, I will lend you 20 taels of silver."

"The relatives and friends in this family are all afraid of borrowing money. I am worried about this. I am a daughter-in-law. Thank you so much. When Jiasheng is held high, I will return it to you."

"Erniang, don't rush to pay it back. As long as Jiasheng can pass the exam, life will be better in the future."

Mrs. Zhou walked over, took her hand, and whispered, "Don't look at the three daughters of the aunt, but to be honest, it's not convenient for me to borrow money from them. Every family has its own difficulties. Caiwei, I also Knowing you is not easy, last time you also helped Jiaxuan, I really don't know how to thank you."

Li Caiwei held Zhou's hand tightly, "Er Niang, don't worry too much, if Jiasheng needs anything, just tell me." After the meal was ready, Li Caiwei helped bring the meal to the dining table. The man sat in the corner sullenly and didn't speak.The eldest sister and the third sister are very lively, and the third sister has been learning from the elder sister.

Li Caiwei walked in front of Liu Jiacheng, "Jiacheng, what's the matter with you?" Liu Jiacheng shook his head, knowing that he must not be used to being crowded, "Let's eat." The food was served, and the whole family gathered around the dining table .

Yu took out three sticks of incense from the room, "Jiasheng is going to take the provincial examination this time, God must bless Jiasheng to pass the exam... the family is safe and sound..." Yu stood at the door holding the incense and said in detail After talking a lot, Mrs. Zhou put the wine on the table, placed three bowls, and poured rice wine into each bowl.

"Jiasheng, you can order some firecrackers, and if you light the firecrackers, it will help you pass the exam."

Liu Jiasheng walked to the door, lit the firecrackers, crackled, and the flames were shining through, printing smiles on everyone's faces.There is a lot of holiday atmosphere in the countryside, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is a big holiday. Generally, people will make Chinese zodiac buns, jade rabbit cakes, pumpkin cakes and so on.It's just that since Liu Huansheng left, the family has deteriorated day by day.

This time, Jiasheng is going to take the provincial examination, which is something that the whole family is happy about.

Mrs. Zhou took a piece of drunk duck and handed it to Jia Sheng, "Jia Sheng, this is your favorite drunk duck, you can eat two more pieces."

The third sister Liu Xinmei also took a piece for Liu Jiasheng, "Jiasheng, the third sister is counting on you to win honor for the family, you have to work hard." She took a cloth bag from her pocket, "The restaurant of the third sister's family has just opened Soon, I didn’t earn much money, so you can use it first, and if it’s not enough, Third Sister will help you figure out a way.”

Eldest sister Liu Xinhe also took out a few taels of silver, "Jia Sheng, you are the best at studying in the family, after you pass the exam, you have to take care of your mother and brother."

In fact, Liu Jiaxuan is also very good at reading, but in this situation at home, he gave up early and let his younger brother study.Zhou wept with joy, touched his tears, "Jiaxuan, I'm sorry."

Yu comforted: "Don't cry, Jiaxuan's family wins and wins, but the family's conditions are limited, and only one person can study. Jiaxuan has a flexible mind. In the future, he will follow Jiacheng's wife to start a career and make achievements. here."

Eldest sister Liu Xinhe also said: "Although Jiaxuan is introverted, he has a good brain. Even if he doesn't study, he can live well in the future, Er Niang, don't worry."

Zhou wiped away her tears with her sleeve, "That's right, I'm so happy, why should I cry?"

Li Caiwei comforted, "I'm going to reclaim the ten acres of barren hills to plant fruit trees, and the ten acres of land to plant melons and fruits, as well as ponds. I'm going to raise fish. All of these need manpower. Jiacheng and I must be too busy." Come, brother Jiaxuan, if you come to help me, I will be happy."

Mrs. Yu nodded, "The family finally has something to look forward to, Jiaxuan, you have to thank Jiacheng."

Liu Xinmei stood up, looking elated, "Caiwei, you know that I own a restaurant, my mother told me that you can grow vegetables out of season, this is a rare thing, if you are willing, then you can sell your vegetables to me, if I don’t need so many here, I know many restaurant owners, and I will tell them when the time comes, you don’t have to worry about selling this dish.”

Eldest sister Liu Xinhe nodded, "Third sister has a good idea. Someone wants this vegetable, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it after planting it. It happens that third sister knows a lot of people. Caiwei, you have to discuss it with third sister."

Li Caiwei nodded, "Eldest sister, third sister, I have actually had this idea for a long time, but I am worried that I will encounter various problems when planting out-of-season vegetables. After all, no one here has grown out-of-season vegetables. I am afraid that if it fails It's..."

The third sister Liu Xinmei stopped her from continuing, "Caiwei, I know you are a smart person, and you will definitely not fail. Let's just agree. In December, I guess the vegetables will be almost ready. I will then return."

With support, even if there are difficulties ahead, she is not as worried as before.

"Okay, then we've made an agreement, and I'll contact you when the time comes." Liu Xinmei knew that Jia Sheng was going to the county seat to take the imperial examination, "Jia Sheng, when you come to the county seat to take the exam, you will live at the third sister's house."

This Mid-Autumn Festival can be regarded as a comfortable time, the family is happy, those who take the exams take the exams, and those who do their careers do their careers.The third sister had lunch and returned to the county with the third brother-in-law. Mrs. Yu asked the eldest sister and brother-in-law to stay for dinner. The eldest sister said she wanted to sleep, so she went back first.

Li Caiwei helped reheat the lunch and made some side dishes.

Yang Shi also showed a rare smile. During the day, she kept a straight face and said nothing. "Caiwei, Sanniang is such a straightforward person. Say what you want, it doesn't look like some people are hiding it. If you say something wrong, don't take it to heart."

"San Niang, we are all a family, we don't care about anything."

"Caiwei, look at this girl Jiahui, aren't you in need of someone? If you don't want Jiahui to come over to help, you can just pay me some salary, as long as she doesn't starve." Yang shoved Liu Jiahui.

Yu couldn't stand it, "Jia Hui is only eight or nine years old, and you let her work? How did you become a mother?"
