Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

After the news spread, the next step was the issue of candidates to participate in the boy examination. In the end, the teachers discussed and came up with the result that the top three from Class B, Class D, and Class A would participate, and all Class A would participate.

All the students who participated suddenly became nervous, except Jiang Minghong.

It’s not that he’s not nervous, but that now he has no time to be nervous at all. After completing the homework assigned by several teachers in the private school, when he returns home, he still has to listen to his brother-in-law lecture on the Four Books and Five Classics, write test papers, write articles, etc. It can be said that Apart from sleeping, I just study.

It is worth mentioning that the test paper given by his brother-in-law was extremely difficult, which stumped Jiang Minghong for the first time. When he was writing the test paper, he couldn't help but glance up at his brother-in-law who was reading. Are you sure you are not deliberately trying to embarrass him?

Xie Yuan knocked on the table lightly.

"Don't look at me, I don't have the answer on my face, write quickly!"

Jiang Minghong lowered his head and took a deep breath, gradually focusing on the test paper.

Xie Yuan looked at his frowning brother-in-law, and the corners of his lips curled up silently. He did not embarrass him, this was to prevent him from becoming complacent.

While the two were studying, Jiang Mingyue would come in and bring them some food, tea, etc. Every time, she would come and leave quietly.

Seeing her brother working so hard every day, although she felt extremely distressed, she didn't say anything. Only hard work will pay off.

In this way, more than half a month passed quickly. In February, when Jiang Mingyue took apples out to buy, people in the streets were talking about the boy's test, and they were all interested in guessing how many prizes each private school would win this year. People have different opinions.

Jiang Mingyue bought rice noodles, turned to look at Apple and asked, "Is this always the case lately?"

Apple nodded slightly: "The county is paying great attention to this matter, and they are also speculating that Yu's private school will be among the top 10 out of 20, etc."

Jiang Mingyue nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After the two of them took a few steps forward, Jiang Mingyue saw someone selling baskets and walked over. One of the baskets had "exam only" written on the front, and she became interested.

The time for each county examination is not long, so this kind of test basket is very small and exquisite, because it only needs to put some dry food and pen and ink.

Although there were still a few days before the boy's exam, the test basket was very busy. Jiang Mingyue was crowded among the crowd and wanted to take the test basket and leave, but suddenly she heard an old woman say: "I don't want the green one, our brother is going to take the exam." , what’s the point of getting a green basket?”

"Mom, how about this red one? Red has a good meaning."

"This kind of red is not good, and the four corners of the basket are sharp and can easily hurt people."

Hearing this, Jiang Mingyue glanced at the basket in the middle-aged woman's hand. Well, it was indeed quite sharp. She originally wanted to buy a basket and leave, but now she suddenly changed her mind and decided to take a good look.

Although Jiang Mingyue didn't know how to choose, she could follow suit. After the old lady picked a basket and left with satisfaction, she immediately picked up an identical one.

The basket is round, woven with thin bamboo, and layered on top of each other. The old lady said that it means rising higher and higher. Jiang Mingyue also thinks this test basket is very good.

She returned home carrying a test basket that was several times more expensive than an ordinary basket. She hid the basket behind her and came to the study. Then she suddenly placed the basket in front of her husband, tilted her head and looked at him and asked: "Is this basket nice?"

Xie Yuan looked at the basket in his wife's hand: "Test basket?"

"Hmm! Do you know this kind of basket?"

"They are sold in Dongshi every year at this time." Xie Yuan said while grabbing one of his wife's hands, using all his strength to pull her into his arms and hugging her with both hands.

"Did you buy it before when you participated in the boy's trial?" Jiang Mingyue sat obediently in the man's arms and asked curiously.

"It was too expensive, so I made one up myself."

Jiang Mingyue looked at the man in disbelief.

"Oh my God! You can also weave baskets?"

Xie Yuan smiled and nodded.

"It's easy once you learn it."

He paused and added.

"I can also weave mats."

There was a hint of arrogance in her tone. Although such a man is childish, he is very cute. Jiang Mingyue took Xie Yuan's hand, kissed it and praised: "Mr., you are so outstanding."

Xie Yuan looked at the person in his arms with soft eyes, lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"You are excellent too."

As he said that, he put the book on the desk into her hand, and Jiang Mingyue read aloud to him as before.

Xie Yuan buried his head in his wife's neck and slowly closed his eyes. My wife's voice is soft and waxy, and her tone is gentle and cadenced. It is a pleasure to listen to her reading.

After buying the test basket, it was time to wear clothes for the exam. It was still very cold in February, so Jiang Mingyue prepared a thin cotton coat for her brother. Unlike before, this dress was very tight.

After Jiang Mingyue was ready, she specially asked her brother to try it on.

"very suitable!"

Jiang Minghong raised his arms and felt it, then tugged on the collar: "Sister, I've been growing very fast recently. Although this dress fits me well, I might not be able to wear it soon. Why don't you make it bigger?"

Jiang Mingyue helped her brother take off his clothes and said: "Your brother-in-law said that the environment of the examination room is very poor and there is draft from all sides. The clothes should be close-fitting so that they will not be loose and windy."

She paused and then added: "Your brother-in-law and I also prepared oil-paper umbrellas for you, just because we were afraid it would rain on the day of the exam."

Early spring is a time of heavy rain.

Speaking of Xie Yuan, Jiang Minghong asked: "Where is my brother-in-law?"

In fact, he had been back for a while, but he didn't see his brother-in-law, which made him feel a little strange. You should know that he rarely goes out since he married his sister.

"Going to the Yamen."

Jiang Mingyue lowered her voice and explained: "Your brother-in-law said that the table will be arranged in the next two days. He will go and talk to the people in the Yamen. Even if he can't arrange a good seat for you, it can't be too bad."

Jiang Minghong heard this and said sincerely: "Brother-in-law is interested."

"We are a family! But when you pass the Tongsheng exam, don't forget to treat your brother-in-law to a drink. He has been thinking a lot about you during this period."

Jiang Minghong nodded.

"Have you received any letters from your parents recently?" Jiang Mingyue asked.

"no!"

Jiang Minghong paused and said, "My parents are very nice there. Sister, don't worry."

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm' and said, "When you become a child, we will write a letter to your parents immediately to make them happy."

Jiang Minghong said 'ok' and asked, "Has there been any movement in sister's stomach lately?"

Unexpectedly, her brother would suddenly become concerned about this matter. Jiang Mingyue shook her head and said, "I know this matter well, so I'm not in a hurry."

Jiang Minghong said 'oh'.

"My sister seems to be very lethargic lately. I thought you had it!"

"Have it?"

Jiang Mingyue didn't even notice it herself.

Jiang Minghong nodded.

"That's impossible, after all, I just left Kuishui a few days ago." Ever since she decided to give Xie Yuan a baby, she had been actively preparing for pregnancy, but it was only a month ago, so she was not anxious at all.

Jiang Minghong didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, he was still a little shy to discuss such things with his sister.

In the evening, after the sister and brother had lunch, Jiang Mingyue went into the kitchen to tell Yu Xing and asked her to cook some sobering soup.
