Lottery System: Ancient Escape

Chapter 5 Family (Thanks to 3324Slove Crazy Seeking Phoenix)
At this time, Zhao Shuanzhuo was leading a group of little boys to start digging a hole in a sandy field not far away.After a while, the children cheered, and it seemed that something had been gained.

The surrounding adults also looked over one after another, with envy in their eyes, and even a few adults followed the example of the children and began to look around for traces of food.

The children caught a nest of voles, two big and five small, the big one was no bigger than a child's fist, and the small one was only the size of a walnut, which looked fleshy.

These voles were given to the village head by them in exchange for four black-faced pancakes. Everyone shared the pancakes equally and ate them happily. This day's food was settled.It also saved a lot of food for the family.

At this time, Zhao Feiyu was holding a bowl of thin yellow-black gruel mixed with wild vegetables. The gruel was so thin that a figure could be seen. Just like that, what was in this bowl was the best in the family. .

Zhao Feiyu's family has a simple population. His father, Zhao Changsheng, is a man in his 30s, educated and a child.

Later, he failed in many trials, and the family almost went bankrupt.As a result, before the next year's hospital examination, what was waiting was drought and war.

Tongsheng cannot be exempted from military service. In order to avoid being drafted, the whole village of Zhaojia Village decided to flee to the east to the fiefdom of King Anping.

Zhao Changsheng's status as a child is extremely embarrassing. He has the status of a scholar, but he cannot enjoy all the preferential treatment.

If you continue to study, your family can't afford it, and if you give up, you feel it's a pity. It's really "a pity to abandon it, and it's tasteless to eat it."

At this time, it was not easy to test for scholars, and the admission rate was very low, less than 10%.

This rate is much lower than the current admission rate for postgraduate entrance examinations. Therefore, although ancient scholars were at the bottom of the imperial examination system, they were at least equivalent to current college students.

Because there were not many scholars in ancient times, if a town can produce a scholar, it is a very remarkable thing.

Therefore, it is really not as easy to test a scholar as in the novel.

Zhao Changsheng studied hard for dozens of years, but he had nowhere to serve his country despite his enthusiasm.

Now, this seven-foot man no longer has the arrogance he had before, and his back has long been deeply bent by the reality of life.

Although he was not admitted as a scholar, he was the only boy and the only scholar in the village.Therefore, in the village, whenever there was something wrong, the village head would call Zhao Changsheng to discuss it.

Zhao Changsheng's family has not yet separated, the eldest brother Zhao Changfu, the second brother Zhao Changgui, the rich and the noble, when it was the third child's turn, he turned around and became Zhao Changsheng.

There are 14 people in this family, big and small, and there are only 6 adult laborers.

The elder family has two adults and two children, the second child has two adults and three children, and the Zhao Changsheng family has two adults and two children.

There is also Grandma Zhao, a shrewd old woman in her 50s. Grandpa Zhao left many years ago. Grandma Zhao is a capable and strong person. She no longer looks for a wife and has raised her three sons with her own energy.

You said that in these years, normal people can starve to death. Why is she a woman who not only raised three sons, but also made the third son admitted to Tongsheng, and married the three sons all at once? Home, I have to say something about old man Zhao.

When old man Zhao was young, he liked to follow the escort team and do some work of buying and selling. Although he didn't make much money, it was much better than farming in the village anyway.There will be some big opportunities from time to time, and the family will gradually save a lot.

The oldest, the second and the third were sent to the school one after another, and the Zhao family became the No. .

It is said that he met bandits on the way, and Mr. Zhao was also hacked to death in that battle, and his body did not dare to restrain himself.

Later Mrs. Zhao went to look for it, but couldn't find it.The body may have decayed long ago, or it may have been dragged away by wild wolves.Anyway, no one is alive, no one is dead.

In this way, slowly, the Zhao family declined, and the eldest brother and the second child could not study well. So the eldest brother and the second child decided to learn a craft if they could not study well. After all, they were not good at studying, and there was still a third child.

Therefore, the two older brothers handed over the burden of studying to the third child without any good intentions, and did not ask the third child for his wishes.

Anyway, whether you agree or disagree, you have no right to object, elder brother is like father, you can only obey, just study hard.
