After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

In addition to the heat in summer, there are also many flies and mosquitoes, so Yan Qingqing asked the laundry shop to step up the production of mosquito coils.

Other products make money, but Yan Qingqing intends to use this mosquito-repellent incense as a welfare product and make it a mass consumer product.

So I notified Xihuafang to rush to work day and night.

These purchasers heard that there were such high-quality and cheap products, and they all rushed to place orders.

No matter which merchant wants to give this kind of welfare money to their customers, firstly, it can win people's hearts, and secondly, it can also gain popularity.

Therefore, there are more merchants waiting to purchase goods in front of the washing factory than in the food processing factory every day.

Village Chief Yang and Yang Wensheng were very happy to see this situation. The better the business of the washing house, the more stable the workers in their village would be.

Although the Xihua Factory started production not long ago, it hired two more workers, one for expansion and one for temporary workers, who were mainly responsible for loading and unloading goods for merchants.

Although he is not a regular worker in the workshop, his wages are high.

The busy days always go by extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it enters the end of summer, and soon it is the harvest season.

Li Xiangkang came back from Xifeng Academy, and Yan Qingqing almost forgot that he had to take the exam this year.

Naturally, the first thing Li Xiangkang did after returning was to say hello to Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing looked at her son, who was already as tall as her, and felt emotional. When she first traveled here, Li Xiangkang was thin and small, and was dirty all over, but the six- or seven-year-old child looked like he was four or five years old.

After careful maintenance in the past few years, coupled with studying in the academy, not only has he grown a lot taller, but also in terms of temperament, he has the feeling of a handsome young man with a poetic and scholarly spirit.

Not only has Li Xiangkang changed tremendously, but the Li family has also changed greatly from top to bottom.

If you compare them now with those two years ago, no one will think that they are the same person.

Li Xiangkang said to Yan Qingqing: "Mom, I have to take the exam this year. The master said that the environment in the college is too noisy and asked me to go home and review my homework in peace.

In addition, Master also gave me some homework, saying that they were all test questions from previous years, and asked me to sort them out.

If you don't know how to do it, you can go to the academy to ask the master for advice, or you can go to the master for advice yourself. "

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. Master Song and Master Zhao in our village are both very knowledgeable.

During this period, if you want to go to school, you can go to the school in our village to study. If you don't want to, just stay at home.

And Mo Chen is here during this time, so you can discuss any questions with him. "

Although Xiao Mochen is not the emperor yet, he is very likely to be the emperor in the future, and Li Xiangkang will definitely be Xiao Mochen's right-hand man in the future once he becomes an official. It would be best if they can start getting along now.

Even if they have any political differences in the future, their friendship today will be a good story.

Of course, if Xiao Mochen cannot become emperor, everything their family is trying to do may end up being in vain.

Yan Qingqing had prepared for the worst, but made the best effort.

Li Xiangkang thought for a while and replied: "Mom, I want to study at home with peace of mind. After all, I have never listened to a lecture by a master in the village.

Moreover, it would be unrealistic for the Master to disrupt their original schoolwork plans for me.

After I finish the homework assigned by Master, I can take it to Master Zhao and Master Song for advice. "

Yan Qingqing was relieved to see that Li Xiangkang was now determined and planned.

Li Xiangkang also worked hard. He got up at five o'clock every day to exercise, then started the day's morning reading, breakfast, study, lunch, homework, dinner, review lessons, and then rest.

It's like this every day, and it's a bit scary to be self-disciplined.

In the end, even Xiao Mochen couldn't stand it anymore and came to the study to find Li Xiangkang.

Li Xiangkang is practicing calligraphy, and his strong and powerful handwriting is already quite impressive.

Even Xiao Mochen was a little surprised when he saw his handwriting. He remembered that when he first came to Li's house, Li Xiangkang's handwriting could not be said to be ugly, but it was definitely not beautiful.

Now the writing of this word is actually as good as his, how can Xiao Mochen not be shocked.

Li Xiangkang was writing happily. He didn't stop writing until Xiao Mochen came. Instead, he said while writing: "You sit aside for a while, I will finish writing in a while."

Xiao Mochen nodded immediately without disturbing him, and soon Li Xiangkang silently wrote a preface to the Nanyang Collection.

This is a travel note, a masterpiece written by an ancestor who visited Nanyang Mansion. Li Xiangkang liked it very much and often used the content in it to practice calligraphy.

When Li Xiangkang stopped writing, Xiao Mochen sighed and said, "You have made such great progress in your knowledge in less than two years. I am really ashamed of myself, brother."

After Xiao Mochen confessed his age to Yan Qingqing, he always asked Li Xiangkang to call him brother, and he was indeed two years older than Li Xiangkang.

Li Xiangkang curled his lips when he heard this and said: "You are a noble person and have many things to do. Unlike me, I only have one thing to do: study. If I don't do it well again, wouldn't I be sorry for my mother and brothers who have worked so hard?"

What Li Xiangkang said was true. Xiao Mochen was so busy all day long that he had no time to study.

At the same time, Li Xiangkang always thought that his mother and brothers were busy working for the family, but he was sitting in the bright and clean schoolhouse studying, enjoying the fruits of his studies.

If he hasn't got any grades in his studies, how can he stand up to his mother, brother, sister-in-law, and the like?

Therefore, Li Xiangkang studied hard from morning to night in school. Coupled with his intelligence and photographic memory, the speed of his progress even shocked his master.

As the exam was approaching, the master was afraid that he would collapse too tightly and affect his performance, so he thought of letting him rest at home for a while.

But who would have thought that Li Xiangkang worked harder at home than in the academy.

When Yan Qingqing found out, he just sighed and asked the kitchen to make more tonics and send them to Li Xiangkang.

Unexpectedly, the first person who couldn't stand it was Xiao Mochen.

Xiao Mochen said again: "With your knowledge, it's definitely not a problem to pass the test as a boy student. Don't push yourself too hard."

Li Xiangkang smiled when he heard this, and then said confidently: "Of course I know it's okay for me to be a boy student. The key is that I want to be a scholar."

Xiao Mochen was also shocked when he heard this. Is Li Xiangkang planning to take the scholar examination after studying for two years?

But no one has stipulated that if you have a short study time, you cannot take the exam to become a scholar.

Moreover, Li Xiangkang's knowledge is indeed solid, and he might be able to pass the exam.

No wonder Li Xiangkang worked so hard. It turned out that he was planning to take the county examination, government examination, and the third-level examination in a row.

There were regulations in the Yan Dynasty that those who passed the county and government examinations could be titled Tongsheng, and those who passed the academy examinations were called scholars.

Scholars have special privileges. They can be exempted from taxes and conscription. They do not kneel before officials. They are considered true scholars.

However, it is not easy to pass the scholar examination, and some people fail to pass the scholar examination throughout their lives. For example, Li Daniu was still a child after taking the examination for most of his life.
