Chapter 296 County Examination
Now?
He was unwilling to be a parasite like this, and he also wanted to help his brother with things within his ability.
But he couldn't do anything right.
He also knew that he was a little too reckless in venturing into the underworld, but he really didn't want to remain a failure.
"Do you know what kind of life we spent together?"
Shen Yuanzhou said slowly: "Before we separated from grandpa and grandma, we didn't have enough to eat every day, and there was always work to do. We got up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs."
When Xie Yunche heard his description, he couldn't believe it. The Shen family was doing well now, so how could they have lived so miserably in the past?
"You can't believe it, can you?"
Shen Yuanzhou showed a bitter smile, which quickly disappeared. "The good life we have now is all brought by my younger sister. She also found things that our three brothers like to do. Our family is very satisfied with our current life."
"So, I think, even if you can't help your big brother, as long as you do what you like, they will be happy for you."
"really?"
Xie Yunche murmured, what does he like to do?
"Yuan Zhou, do you still plan to continue to venture into the martial arts world?"
"go."
The one who answered him was Shen Yuanzhou's decisive voice, without a trace of hesitation.
When I walked out of the Shen Mansion and got on the carriage back to Beijing, I was still in a daze.
After seeing him off, the Shen family took a carriage back to Daohua Village.
"After being away for so many days, it's more comfortable to live here." Lin Cuicui said to her husband.
Shen Changshan patted her hands without saying anything, and the couple walked in hand in hand.
Shen Li had a clear idea of A'niang's thoughts. They had been through many things along the way before they arrived at Daohua Village. The moment they settled in Daohua Village, the family developed a fledgling complex for this place.
But this is not a bad thing, and people will always have concerns and ties in their hearts, so why stop them?
After returning home, everyone went back to their own yards. Shen Li took a quick look at the flowers and plants in the yard, made sure they were still alive and well, and left them alone.
……
Soon, it was early February.
"Ali, are all the things your fourth brother wants ready?"
"Taohua, are you ready to eat?"
Shen Li and Xu Taohua looked at each other, then looked at the sky outside. It was still dark, and their mother/mother-in-law was too nervous.
Shen Qian'an stood up. The robe he wore today was very simple. There was no embroidery on it, and no cotton was added to the clothes, so he wore two extra pieces. However, he was thin and tall, so he did not look bloated.
He came back in early February. He is now from Qingxi County. This time the county examination is being held in Qingxi County. He also has to go to the government office to take the prefectural examination. If he passes the examination, he will become a student.
He stepped forward and supported Lin Cuicui, "Mom, you are just too nervous. We have already checked the things you are worried about yesterday. There is no problem. Don't worry."
"it is good."
He said this verbally, but in fact he was not less nervous at all. He just didn't want to put too much pressure on Shen Qi'an, so he tried hard to hide it.
Shen Changshan was also very nervous, but he didn't show it.
If the fourth child really passed the exam, then their Shen family would be able to change their status. How could they not be excited about such a big event?
"Fourth Brother, Mom doesn't know what's going on in the examination room either. You must be careful and don't catch a cold, okay?"
Shen Qian'an nodded patiently and listened to Lin Cuicui's nagging. Then the family took a carriage to the examination room. At this time, a hint of light could be seen in the sky outside.
Because they were afraid of encountering any problems on the road that would delay their time, the family arrived at their house on Chunhui Road a day in advance, so the examination venue was not far away.
Before we got close to the examination hall, the driving speed slowed down, but fortunately it was still early, so it was okay to drive slowly.
The streets were filled with scholars and relatives who came to see them off, and of course, there was no shortage of onlookers.
The carriage moved forward slowly and finally stopped after a quarter of an hour. Seeing that this place was not far from the examination room, Shen Qian'an planned to walk there.
"Father and mother, the carriage can't move. I'll walk over."
"Okay then, we'll take you there."
As he spoke, Shen Changshan picked up the basket and carefully protected it in his arms after getting off the carriage. He couldn't let those with bad intentions stuff things into it, otherwise the basket wouldn't fit in.
The basket contained food for today's lunch. It wasn't much, just enough for Shen Qian'an alone.
Shen Li and Lin Cuicui also got off the carriage. Xu Taohua didn't come, so she stayed at home to watch over Shen Mochi. The incident at the last Lantern Festival still left him with a psychological trauma, and he was unwilling to go to crowded places with anything.
Shen Li asked the coachman to find a place to park the carriage. If there was no space, he should drive the carriage back first and they would walk back by themselves later.
Not only did they get off the carriage and walk, many people did the same. This place was not far from the examination hall, so instead of waiting anxiously, it would be better to walk directly there and enter the examination hall early so that they could adapt themselves for a while.
When they arrived at the door, someone was checking whether the students were carrying any prohibited items.
Shen Qi'an took the basket from Shen Changshan's hand and said, "Dad and Mom, my little sister should go back. I'm going in now."
"Come on, fourth brother."
"Qian, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Shen Qian'an smiled and nodded, then he walked into the examination room. At the door, the steamed buns and pancakes he brought with him were broken into pieces one by one and checked. Even the clothes on his body were taken off and checked thoroughly inside and out.
At this time, the sky was gradually brightening. Seeing Shen Qianan go in, the three of them also went back.
After Shen Li went back, she came out again. It was a half-day off and business was good today. Not long after opening, the private rooms were already full, probably because they were waiting for people from the examination room to come out.
"My boss."
"Sit down and talk."
Shen Li sat on a chair and asked Yang Gui to sit down and talk. She never liked to look up at people.
"How's business in the store these days?"
Yang Gui pondered for a moment before saying, "Boss, business these days is about the same as usual, but today is particularly busy."
"Well, business will be good these days. Especially at this time, we must pay attention to the hygiene of the store and not make any mistakes, understand?"
Yang Gui nodded, "I understand, Boss, I will check it again later."
"Well, you can take care of the rest. Go and get busy."
"Yes."
Shen Li strolled to the backyard again. After a while of development, there were already five dairy cows in this shop, and they were still in the lactation period. The milk produced by each cow was not only of good quality, but also of sufficient quantity.
He raised his hand and poured some water from the space into the cows. They were the great contributors to the store and should not be neglected.
After looking around and finding nothing that needed improvement, Shen Li went home. Yang Gui did a good job, so she could give him more salary at the end of the month.
