Chapter 7

Seeing how her mother was biting her lips with tears in her eyes, An Ran immediately trotted over, held her hand, and comforted her: "Don't cry, mother, Daddy will definitely pass, you can pass the county test, you can pass the government test , and you can pass the college exam.”

"Hmm..." Mrs. Gu hummed with sobs, seeing her daughter was so smart and caring, she couldn't help but smiled softly with tears in her eyes.She gently took the hands of the two children and said: "It's getting late, go back to the house, mother is going to close the courtyard door."

An Ran groaned in disappointment, stood on tiptoe and took a look outside, was about to turn around and go back to the house, but suddenly saw a familiar figure striding towards the house in the distance.An Ran immediately broke free from her mother's hand, ran out quickly with two short legs, and shouted as she ran, "Daddy...Daddy..."

Gu Wanniang was startled, and when she looked up, she saw that An Ran had already run up to the figure, and was immediately lifted up high, her crisp laughter filled the evening wind with such happiness and joy.The child's father is really back!
"Daddy, Daddy, Anran misses you so much!" Anran hugged her father Zhao Shihua's neck, smiled and kissed her father's face.Although this era is very backward and patriarchal, An Ran's deepest feeling over the past year is love.Parental love, brother's love.Father and mother never disliked her as a daughter, but loved her even more because she became sensible and obedient, even worse than her brother.

"Daddy misses our little girl too." As he spoke, Zhao Shihua kissed his daughter heavily on the face.

Seeing how happy her father was, An Ran immediately asked, "Did Daddy pass the exam? My daughter knows that Daddy will definitely pass the exam!"

"Yes, Dad passed the exam! Not only did he pass the exam, but he is also the top case!" Zhao Shihua said with a little pride.

What is the case?An Ran didn't really understand.But since there is an initial word, is it number one?
"Daddy got first place in the exam? Daddy is amazing! My daughter likes Daddy the most!"

"Hehe, Daddy also likes our little girl the most."

While speaking, Zhao Shihua had strode to the gate of the courtyard with An Ran in his arms.Seeing his wife's tearful eyes, Zhao Shihua couldn't help holding his daughter with one hand, and holding his wife's hand with the other, and said, "Mother Wan, I passed the exam! I passed the county case chief exam!"

This night, the family of four happily ate a sumptuous dinner, including fried bacon with shallots, steamed egg custard, fried wild vegetables with diced bacon, and a red bean bacon soup.Gu's grandfather planned to save a few eggs from birds and cook them for An Ran tomorrow morning.

Zhao Shihua was very excited today and talked a lot about the county examination.What made him happy was not only that he had passed the test this time, but also that the direction of the test that he found from this county test was extremely beneficial to him.

Gu Wanniang said: "You just studied for two months during the slack season before you passed the examination. Now there is still one month before the government examination. You should study hard and forget about other things."

Zhao Shihua shook his head and said, "No need. You don't know, the topics of the county test this time are very different from the previous ones, and you won't be able to pass if you just read the books. In addition to the traditional four-book essays and scriptures, there are also specific examples of judgments. Familiarity with the law is tested; there are case detections, which test people's intelligence and meticulousness; there are also views on certain common customs and current events, and even agricultural and water conservancy calculations, etc., which test personal knowledge and ability. But those questions are too simple, I think, the government examination and the hospital examination are probably the same questions, but the difficulty has increased. But the test post poems and verses that have always been there before are gone..."

An Ran couldn't help but feel moved when she heard this, she only knew that in ancient times the scientific examinations were all about the Four Books and Five Classics, why did her dad say that it was a bit like the exams in her previous life?Could it be that the emperor of this time and space also traveled through time?

"What's wrong with your daughter? Come on, this is your favorite lean meat." Seeing An Ran staring blankly at him, Zhao Shihua bit off the skin and fat from the piece of meat his wife gave him, and took the remaining lean meat She gave it to her daughter, and said with a gentle smile, "Eat it, there is no fat left." This girl is different from other children, she doesn't like to eat fat meat, but only likes to eat lean meat. He doesn't understand, this lean meat It takes a lot of effort to chew, and the teeth are always stuck. What is there to eat?

An Ran looked at the red piece of lean bacon in the bowl, and then at the steamed egg custard in front of her, feeling indescribably moved in her heart.The family is poor, and they may not be able to eat meat once a month, but their parents always give meat to their brothers and sisters.But when the hen laid eggs, the parents were reluctant to eat them or sell them, so they always steamed egg custard for their brothers and sisters to eat.But my brother always let her eat, he only ate two bites, and gave her the rest.

"Thank you, Daddy! Daddy eats custard!" An Ran scooped up a spoonful of custard for her daddy with a rough porcelain spoon, and then gave it to her mother and elder brother. "My mother eats custard, and my brother eats it too."

An Qi took An Ran's spoon, but poured the egg custard into An Ran's bowl, and said, "Okay, sister, you can eat it yourself, brother, you will be gone after eating it."

Gu Shi and Zhao Shihua looked at each other and smiled, looking at these two sensible children, they could only feel a deep sense of happiness flowing in their chests, sweet and warm.

After dinner, Mrs. Gu went to the kitchen to tidy up, and Zhao Shihua sat at the table in the main room to check Zhao Anqi's homework these days.After asking a few words, he asked him to recite a few passages, and finally read the big characters he wrote.Seeing that her father did not praise her elder brother, An Ran still nodded with a smile from time to time, and concluded: "It seems that my father is not lazy these days." After thinking about it, she added, "I still need to work harder in the future."

An Ran already knew that in this day and age, Lao Tzu generally rarely praised his son. Generally speaking, if he was not scolded, he was praised.An Ran is actually not used to it, because her father never hesitates to praise her.

An Ran saw that her brother had handed in his homework for her father to read, so she hurriedly took what she had written to show her father.

"Daddy, this is written by my daughter."

Passing a thick stack of written raw-edged paper to her father, An Ran stood beside her father's lap, slightly raised her head, and looked at her father's expression expectantly.She doesn't want to be illiterate, she wants to understand this time and space as soon as possible, so she must learn to read with her brother, so that she can justifiably ask her father for books in the future.But she didn't want her father to find out that she was too "genius", so she didn't perform well when her father was at home, but she suddenly showed up when her father was away and her mother was busy.
