The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Not only grocery stores, but also peddlers from nearby come to buy in large quantities.

Some shops not only have one store in the city, but also have stores in other towns.

Now only the Wang family has the soap, so orders are pouring in like snowflakes.

They had been short of manpower for a long time, so they recruited a lot of people from the village.

The soap factory also expanded a lot. Not only that, even the lard residue from making oil every day was sold to the villagers at a low price by Old Lady Wang.

These days, every family can eat meat, and even those who were exhausted from fleeing famine have recovered a little.

Every child has some fat on his face.

Therefore, when they saw that Lao Wang bought a mule cart, everyone came over and asked him all kinds of questions.

But there was only congratulations and envy, not a trace of jealousy.

Old Wang talked to the villagers for a while, and then drove the mule cart back home.

He walked to the door of his house and cracked the whip in the air.

The whip made a crisp sound of breaking through the air.

Attracted several people over.

"Ahem, let's see what the mule I bought is like."

The family members looked at the mule and came forward to touch it.

"Old man, you bought a good mule. It can carry goods right out of the box. How much is it?"

Old Wang smiled proudly: "I bought it for six taels of silver. How about it? Not bad, right?"

"How much? Six taels? Wang Beimin, you spent six taels of silver to buy a mule?"

When Old Lady Wang heard what Old Wang said, she couldn't believe it.

Only then did Old Wang realize that he seemed to have overpaid.

Under normal circumstances, you can buy a good mule for five taels and five cents.

Although the mule that Old Wang bought was very strong, it was far from worth six taels of silver.

After Old Wang was given a loving education by Old Lady Wang, he realized that he had overpaid.

He looked at Wang Zhuzi unhappily and said to him, "Why didn't you tell me that it was too expensive?"

"Dad, I don't know how much silver a mule costs."

The two of them stared at each other, both feeling extremely innocent.

"Oh, I'm so pissed. Why did I think of asking you two idiots to buy a mule together?"

Fortunately, the mule that Old Wang bought was very good, so Old Mrs. Wang just cursed a few words and let it go.

Then have them unload the frame and lead the mule into the yard.

He grabbed a handful of hay for the mule and asked Wang Zhuzi to build a straw shed for the mule.

Daya and Xiaomi hid aside and laughed secretly.

Soon the shed was set up and the mule was led inside and tied up.

Old Wang found a small broom and used it to smooth the mule's fur.

If it's not working for the baby, there's no need for anyone else to intervene.

In the afternoon, he set up the bike rack and said he was going to pick up Goudan and the others.

In fact, I just wanted to go out for a walk and appreciate the surprised expressions of Goudan and the others from a close distance.

With a mule cart, it is much more convenient to go anywhere. Wait for Old Wang to bring the three people back.

The three of them shouted that they wanted to ride it for a ride.

But he was ruthlessly stopped by Old Wang, who said he was afraid that they would crush his precious mule.

Seeing that he couldn’t ride the mule, Goudan had to go back to his room to study.

The teacher will ask people to recite them one by one tomorrow.

He doesn't have as good a memory as Tiedan, who can't remember things after reading them once.

The early bird catches the worm. Go watch it early so you can watch it a few more times.

Now the three of them live in one room, and Grandma Wang simply converted one of the unoccupied rooms into a study for them.

There are tables and chairs inside that were specially made by a carpenter.

It makes it convenient for Goudan and others to read and write.

The three of them entered the house and began to do the homework assigned by the teacher today.

No one was lazy and everyone cherished the hard-won opportunity.

After all, before, they never dared to dream that they could all go to school.

In the past, they thought that as long as they had enough food and warm clothes every day, that would be enough.

At the gate of Fengcheng government office, many people were standing, waiting anxiously.

It was not until a bailiff took a piece of red paper and pasted it on the wall that people gathered around.

"Hey, stop squeezing me. Where are my shoes?"

“Hahahahahahaha. I got it. I got it.”

There were also people standing in front of the list, looking dazed, muttering to themselves, "Impossible, how could I not win? This is impossible.

I studied hard for ten years, but in the end I failed even the provincial examination."

After saying that, he burst into laughter, causing everyone to stay away from him, and a vacuum zone immediately appeared around him.

Wang Zhuzi squeezed in effortlessly relying on his big body, and then carefully looked up Wang Chengzi's name.

He originally planned to wait until there was no one around before coming over to check, so as to avoid any hassle.

But old lady Wang was anxious and wanted to see first if anyone had made the list.

Today, all the family members except those who are going to school came.

Everyone advised against letting Old Lady Wang squeeze in, fearing that she might fall.

But Old Lady Wang just wanted to see that the other people got older and the younger ones got smaller first.

It was inconvenient for the woman to squeeze in, so only Wang Zhuzi and Wang Chengzi were left.

Once Wang Chengzi passed the exam, he would have to take the prefectural exam two months later. Only after he passed the prefectural exam would he be considered a Tongsheng.

Therefore, they didn't dare to let Wang Chengzi squeeze in, so the only one who could go was Wang Zhuzi.

Fortunately, I have to do accounting and writing invoices recently because I run a shop.

Old Mrs. Wang felt that being illiterate was really difficult, and she didn’t even realize she was being cheated.

I decided at home to learn to recognize all the words.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t write, but you must know it.

The first things he learned were the names of his family members. Because of learning to read, Wang Zhuzi had no idea how many slaps he received from Old Lady Wang.

But at least I have achieved some success. At least I can recognize the names of my family members.

This just happened to come in handy now.

"Wang, Cheng,zi. Wang, Cheng,zi." Wang Zhuzi read out Wang Chengzi's name while scanning it line by line.

Finally, he saw Wang Chengzi's name, and he pointed at the words and read them aloud to himself.

Only after making sure that it was correct and not mistaken did I withdraw.

He wiped the sweat off his face from being squeezed by the crowd and ran straight to the Wang family.

"I got it, I got it. First place. Hahahahahahahaha, first place."

As Wang Zhuzi spoke, he started laughing.

Others heard it and started laughing too.

"I knew Chengzi would win. And sure enough, he won."

"My uncle is really amazing."

"Dad, you are so awesome."

"Brother Cheng, you got it."

Wang Chengzi grinned, as if he wanted to laugh, but after a few grins, the corners of his mouth formed a stiff arc.

With tears in his eyes, he looked at his family members who were around him and happy for him, and said with trembling lips: "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law. Xing'er, Guaibao, Daya.

I won. "

After saying this, he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

“Woo woo woo, brother, it’s not easy for you. This time you finally win.”

Before Wang Chengzi could cry, he was hugged by Wang Zhuzi, who was crying loudly.
