Returning to Tianjia Village again, Mingjia clearly felt the changes in the village.

"Children from several nearby villages are also sent to Tianjiacun to go to school, and the village school has been rebuilt!"

Mingjun acted as a guide, introducing the current situation of the village to his sister. The road into the village was built by several villages who pooled their money.

"Brother, I will try to stay at home when I return to the village this time. The village chief and the house will trouble you to move around!"

Mingjia sat in the carriage, opened a corner of the carriage curtain, and observed Tianjiacun.

Mingjun thought for a moment and understood what Mingjia meant!

"Okay! You should also rest at home for a while. When the results of the provincial examination are released, we will set off south!"

"Thank you bro!"

The days in Tianjia Village were painful and happy for Mingjia. He didn't need to think about anything every day. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lingquan's one-on-one guidance.

Unable to practice in the yard, Lingquan took Mingjia up to Wild Boar Mountain one early morning before dawn.

Ming Jun's kung fu was taught by Shen Xianwei and Shi San. It wasn't necessarily advanced, but at least it was learned systematically. In sparring, it wasn't as full of mistakes as Ming Jia's.

Mingjia and his brother also fought several times. In fact, Mingjia used the soft sword and spear well, but his lack of endurance led to insufficient lethality.

Seeing that Ming Jia was training hard, Ming Jun wanted to stop him several times, but he finally swallowed it.

"You have had thoughts since you were a child. Take care of yourself!"

Ming Jia went into the mountains, and Fang Hai followed him. There were many good things in the Wild Boar Mountain.

Mingjun completely changed his career and became a contractor. He guarded the construction sites of two houses every day, and several guards also came to help.

During this period, Mingjia also brought people back several times. Mingjun looked at his sister's skin color and her eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, and he knew that his sister enjoyed this kind of training.

"Brother, look at me, I've grown taller again!"

Ming Jia stretched out her obviously shorter cuffs in front of Ming Jun, her intention was still very obvious.

"Okay, I'll send someone to buy you two more clothes!"

"Thank you bro!"

At the end of August, Mingjia took Lingquan, Fang Hai and others back home to smear the story.

"Brother, I will accompany you to wait for the results to be released!"

"The list will be released on the 28th, and Ru Ying has already gone to guard the list!"

Ming Jia was calculating the time in her mind. News would arrive at the earliest twenty-nine, and the official messenger would have to wait another day!

According to the previous agreement with the village chief's uncle, as long as my brother's grades are not too bad this time, the village will definitely hold a running banquet to celebrate.

[It’s a bit difficult to get to Xuzhou before the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th! 】

Mingjia received a letter from Chen Shao'ang. Chen Shao'ang's letter only said that Xuzhou Port would choose a special day to open to navigation.

"Special day"? All Ming Jia could think of was the day when the Supreme Emperor abdicated and the new emperor succeeded.

"Brother~! When will the house be built?"

Ming Jia remembers that when a new house is built in her hometown, there is always a celebration when the beams are installed!

"It's only been the past two days. I heard that our family is building a house, and villagers from the surrounding villages have come to help. The more people we have, the faster we can work!"

"Brother! You and the village chief uncle will discuss it. We will hold a running banquet when the house is built. When the results of the provincial examination are released and we receive the official notification, we will leave!"

"In a hurry?"

"Ok!"

Mingjia didn't explain much, and Mingjun didn't continue to ask questions. He went over his explanation in his mind and got up to go find the village chief.

Ming Jun only said that he was afraid that holding a banquet after the results would be too high-profile, so he wanted to hold it in advance together with the new residence, and wanted to keep it low-key.

Of course, the more high-profile the village chief is, the better, but he doesn't understand official matters and is afraid of really causing trouble for Xiao Qingshan.

"Sure! Just do as you say!"

Mingjia directly took off the purse from his waist. There were no elders in the family to take care of it, so he asked the village chief to help him take care of it.

"Don't worry, Mingjun, uncle will make sure the banquet is beautiful for you!"

Seeing the village chief's promise, Mingjun went back with peace of mind. As for the accounting issue at the table, Mingjun didn't care at all.

"Mingjia, the village chief has already agreed! Our luggage needs to be packed in advance!"

"Brother, the people around me pack their bags the fastest!"

On the day when the house was built, the sound of firecrackers rang out for a long time. Mingjia also changed into coarse clothes and mingled with the crowd watching the last group of people working.

Originally, when the beams were raised, there was a blessing ceremony. Elderly people in the village who lived longer or women who had more children would go to the house, which meant that they could bring some blessings to the new house.

But everyone in the village feels that the Xiao family is the most blessed in the whole village, and there really is no other blessing that can be given to the Xiao family.

Finally, Mingjun suggested that the children from the village school be invited into the house for a run.

Even though we are both scholars, it is just a metaphor to share the luck of studying with each other.

Mingjun specially asked people to buy a lot of candies and snacks for the children to express his gratitude!

In one morning, the beams of the two houses were all installed. There were really too many people working on them.

While the men were loading the beams, many women were already busy with lunch. After all the beams were installed, a few firecrackers were set off, and the flowing banquet was ready!

Mingjia returned to the old house before the banquet. When no one was around at night, Mingjia would find another opportunity to visit the house!

Aman came back with a large food box half a person's height. There were several dishes on each floor, all of which Mingjun had asked to set aside in advance.

"Second Young Master, you can eat these first. If it's not enough, I'll bring it to you later!"

"Enough! Very enough!"

The food Mingjun asked Aman to send back was not only enough for Mingjia, but also enough for the few guards who stayed at home.

"Uncle Thirteen, Uncle Fourteen, Lingquan, come and eat! Let me tell you, this kind of big pot rice is the most delicious!"

The lively dining table lasted until the afternoon, and all the leftovers were given to the women who came to help, and they were put away until dark.

For the first time, Mingjun felt that laughing all the time was a very tiring thing. When he returned home, he leaned back on his chair and had no strength at all.

Mingjia looked at her brother's weak look and couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Brother! Be mentally prepared. You have just started. There will be many such entertainments in the future, and these are just small scenes!"

Ming Jia is not an alarmist. On the flowing water mat in the village, the most malicious intention of the villagers is to curry favor with Ming Jun, hoping to get a good job through Ming Jun.

In the environment of Tianjiacun, wine is a good thing. There is no drama of trying to avoid drinking by pouring wine on each other. Everyone wishes they could drink two more glasses to satisfy their craving.

"Yeah~~! I know!"

"Jiajia, I'll go back and rest for a while. I'll accompany you to the new house later!"

Mingjun also drank a few glasses of wine today, and he was a little dizzy at the moment. There were still people walking around in the village, so Mingjun quickly squinted for a while.

The brother and sister visited the new house at night. Mingjia looked at the house and compared the drawings in his hands. As expected of the manpower recommended by the village chief, the house was built really well!

"Brother, how long will it take for this to be completed?"

"It will take at least half a month. The house is finished and there is a yard! But I plan to leave Aman to keep an eye on it. We will set off as planned!"

"it is good!"
