Jiang Mingyue held Xie Yuan's big hand and said warmly: "Are you worried that some villages won't last half a month?"

Xie Yuan came back from his thoughts and shook his head gently. He did not tell his wife what he was worried about. He changed the subject and said, "Let's go back to the village tomorrow!"

"Okay!"

She paused and said, "Should we bring some rice, noodles, meat, etc.?"

"Can!"

At noon, Jiang Minghong and Shen Yu did not return. After the couple finished eating, Xie Yuan entered the study, and Jiang Mingyue brought in Apple.

"Tomorrow my husband and I are going back to Xiejia Village. You get up a little earlier than usual and take Yu Gen to buy some meat, rice, noodles and candies."

Apple has done this kind of thing several times, and she is very familiar with it. Bring back some rice and noodles.”

Jiang Mingyue nodded.

"What do you need to buy, madam?"

Jiang Mingyue thought for a while and said: "If you meet a watermelon seller, buy a few watermelons, and then buy a few kilograms of fruit. Grandma Xie likes to eat that."

"it is good!"

After the apples were withdrawn, Jiang Mingyue opened the drawer and took out the ledger. Perhaps because of the hot weather, tea was selling particularly well this year. Several shops under her name could earn three or four dollars a month just by selling tea. two.

Jiang Mingyue calculated her income and expenses. Well, even if she spends money lavishly, she can still make a surplus of more than thirty taels every month.

She put down her account book, took out some money, handed it to Apple and entered the bedroom.

Qi Yongsi stayed in the tomb for most of the day. For the first time, he realized that he could still speak so well. When leaving the tomb, he glanced at the gold and silver jewelry buried with him indifferently. When he passed by a box containing books, stopped.

After a while, he left the tomb with a few books and returned home. The people in the village had prepared dinner for him.

Qi Yongsi looked at the steamed buns and a plate of boiled wild vegetables. Well, he had been eating like this for more than ten years, and he had never felt anything bad. But when he ate it today, he found it a bit hard to swallow. Sure enough, it was easy to go from frugality to luxury. , it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Qi Yongsi sighed with emotion, took the Wowotou, and walked around from house to house. He found that everyone was not as good as him, so he sat at the door of his house and fell into deep thought? Can wind bones be used as food? It is obvious that it cannot.

Da Qi has been subjugated for more than 200 years. What is the point of their so-called persistence? Qi Yongsi felt that if their village did not make changes, they would starve to death sooner or later. Thinking of this, he stood up and called the whole village together.

At the same time, Yu Gen carried the drunk Jiang Minghong back to Zaolin Hutong.

In the bedroom, Jiang Mingyue was preparing to rest when she heard Pingguo tell her that her brother was drunk. She was about to go out when she saw Xie Yuan walk in.

"You go to bed first, I'll take care of Minghong and I'll be back in a minute."

Jiang Mingyue stopped when she heard this and said sweetly: "Thank you, sir!"

Xie Yuan smiled, closed the door for his wife, returned to the front yard, brought a bowl of sobering soup that had been cooked for a long time, gave Jiang Minghong a drink, changed his clothes, and then left.

In the bedroom, Jiang Mingyue saw her husband coming back and asked, "How is my little brother?"

"After drinking the hangover soup, I changed him into dry clothes and he fell asleep."

Jiang Mingyue felt relieved and murmured: "Drinking so much wine at such a young age is very harmful to your health. You can talk to him for me tomorrow."

Xie Yuan responded with a gentle 'OK', patted his wife's back gently and said, "Go to sleep! We have to get up early and go back to the village tomorrow."

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm' and closed her eyes.

At the beginning of Mao Shi, when the sky was just gray and bright, Jiang Mingyue and Xie Yuan left Zaolin Hutong in a carriage.

At half past nine, the two returned to Xiejia Village. At that time, some young laborers in the village were working in the fields. The women took care of their children, made breakfast and mended, and the old people sewed bamboo baskets, made brooms, etc.

As they entered the village, Xiejia Village slowly became lively, and some children even ran around their carriage.

Jiang Mingyue took the candy from Apple's hand and gave it to the children.

The two chatted with the villagers while walking. Before they reached the end of the village, the old patriarch and the patriarch's grandmother came out after hearing the news.

Xie Yuan and the others took a few steps forward, took the initiative to support the two old men, and followed them back home.

At that time, Aunt Gui was supported by a little maid, and she followed Jiang Hai and the others off the boat.

"This is Wanping."

"We have been hurrying slowly all the way and finally arrived at Wanping."

"I'll see Mingyue and Minghong soon! I wonder if they are doing well now."

"The results of the college examination should have come out. I don't know if Minghong has passed the examination or not."

"Shall we inquire?"

"I think it works!"

…………

Jiang Hai and the other two started to inquire as they walked.

In Zaolin Hutong, it was already midnight when Jiang Minghong woke up. He washed his face and then fully woke up.

"Where is brother-in-law, brother-in-law?" Jiang Minghong handed the square handkerchief to Yu Gen and asked.

"They have returned to Xiejia Village."

Jiang Minghong nodded and was about to enter the main hall to eat when the courtyard door suddenly rang. When Chun Xing opened the courtyard door, Jiang Minghong looked at the four people outside with great joy.

"Aunt Gui, Brother Hai, Brother Chen, you are finally here, come in quickly."

"The young master has grown taller."

"Minghong, we have all heard that you have passed the scholar examination. Congratulations, our Jiang family finally has a scholar."

"The patriarch and the people in Zhuangzi will be very happy if they know about it."

…………

The group of people entered the main hall chatting while walking.

After everyone sat down, Grandma Gui took a sip of tea and asked, "Isn't Madam at home?"

Jiang Hai and the others immediately pricked up their ears. They were all extremely curious about their uncle who had never been masked before!

"Sister and brother-in-law have returned to the village together. Your journey here has been smooth."

"It went well. It's just that I'm not in good health. I got sick on the way, which delayed some time. Otherwise, we would have arrived long ago."

"Mommy should be able to take care of herself in her old age, but she still has to work hard for our brothers and sisters. Minghong feels guilty."

Aunt Gui laughed happily.

"I don't like to hear this. Madam, I'm still young. Besides, I'm lucky to be able to come and take care of you."

After the two said a few words, Jiang Minghong asked about things in the village.

At the same time, Patriarch Xie of Xiejia Village looked at Xie Yuan and said, "Another scholar has appeared in our village. This is a great event. Do we need to set up a banquet to celebrate?"

Xie Yuan and his wife looked at each other: "No, it's not too late to celebrate when Minghong passes the exam."

He paused and looked at the old clan leader and said: "The clan members can send six acres of land to Minghong's name. Please make arrangements and see to whom it will be sent."

When the old patriarch heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled happily.

"Okay, I'll arrange this."

Xie Yuan immediately asked him about the situation in the fields.
