Happiness System

"Madam, are you awake?"

“??? I’m hungry!” She was startled when she saw a big face when she opened her eyes.

Qin Yunxi stared at him blankly, and it took her a while to realize where she was.

"The medicine has been picked up. We can leave once my wife is well." Mu Jingheng froze for a moment, his expression cracked. It seemed that he had misunderstood Doctor Kang.

"Well, I'm fine!" he said as he struggled to get up.

Mu Jingheng reached out to help her up, then carefully tidied her hair before helping her off the bed.

It was only five minutes' walk from the clinic to the wonton shop, and Qin Yunxi broke out in a sweat. Fortunately, the wonton shop was still open.

"Boss, two bowls of wontons, please!"

"Okay, sir, the wontons will be here soon!"

Qin Yunxi observed the store for a while and found it was relatively clean and tidy, so she sat down and waited for her meal with peace of mind.

"Sir, two bowls of wontons are here! Please be careful of the heat!" There were no other customers in the store at the moment, so the wontons were served quickly.

It smelled good and the portion was large, so Qin Yunxi couldn't wait to grab a spoon and scoop up a wonton, blew it to cool it down, and took a bite.

Her eyes lit up when she ate it. This was what food was. What was that old rice porridge?

Unfortunately, her stomach had been shrunk by the original owner's hunger, and she felt full before she had eaten half of it. She could only put down the spoon with regret.

Mu Jingheng, who was standing next to him, ate attentively and politely but not slowly, and almost finished the whole bowl.

"Are you full, madam?" Perhaps he noticed her gaze, so he stopped.

"Well, I can't eat anymore." And he felt a little sleepy.

Mu Jingheng also knew her usual appetite. After taking a look, he saw that she had indeed eaten more than usual, so he poured the leftover wontons into his own bowl and started eating.

Qin Yunxi saw this and thought to herself, this man is really good, it was not in vain that she spent money to support him to take the county exam!

If System 00 were here, I would praise it again. Forget it, it’s too noisy. I’d better go back and play it again!

"Boss, let's settle the bill." Mu Jingheng quickly finished the remaining food.

"Okay, one bowl of wontons is five cents, two bowls is ten cents in total, sir!"

Mu Jingheng counted out ten copper coins and handed them over.

"Okay, that's exactly ten cents. Take care, sir!"

He nodded slightly, then helped Qin Yunxi up and walked out with the medicine bag.

Fortunately, he didn't walk fast, so Qin Yunxi had no difficulty following him.

"Jingheng, you haven't told me when the county exam will be held!" She took two quick steps and grabbed Mu Jingheng's sleeve.

Mu Jingheng frowned. It was indecent to pull her on the road, but he was afraid of hurting her so he didn't pull his sleeve back.

Seeing that the other party was not going to give up, he had to answer truthfully: "March 20th."

"What day is it today? Do I have to pay the registration fee in advance?" Qin Yunxi pouted slightly, not satisfied with his answer.

"The registration deadline is March 10th, ten days before the exam." Mu Jingheng replied helplessly.

"Ah? Today is the last day! So are we going to register now?" Qin Yunxi stopped and looked up at him.

"My wife, let's go to the grain store to buy rice, and then go to the butcher shop to buy some meat for you to nourish..." Mu Jingheng could only stop.

"Don't you have enough silver? Why don't we go back to the pharmacy and ask Doctor Kang to borrow some? He is a good man and should be able to lend you some. You can write him a promissory note..." As he said that, he pulled him back.

"There is enough money, no need to borrow, but you have to keep it, my wife still needs to take medicine to recuperate."

Mu Jingheng didn't move, and of course her weak body couldn't pull him.

I heard that men are afraid of women crying?

Qin Yunxi quickly calmed down and said with a sob: "You don't listen! Did I guess right? That's why you don't want to take the exam, because you're afraid that if you pass, I will live a good life with you..."

As he spoke, tears streamed down his cheeks.

To be honest, she has just recovered from a serious illness and her face is pale and thin. Although she is not very beautiful, she looks a bit weak.

It is easy to make people blame themselves and be soft-hearted.

Mu Jingheng was her husband, and the other party was devoted to him, so he naturally felt guilty and soft-hearted when he saw this, and he regretted it the moment she opened her mouth with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry, my lady. I will listen to you. Don't let your thoughts run wild." It was not appropriate to hug someone so recklessly on the street, so he had to pull her to the side of the road and gently wipe her tears.

Crying is very energy-consuming, so Qin Yunxi decided to stop while she was ahead.

Seeing that his wife finally stopped crying, Mu Jingheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that she looked listless, he thought for a moment and decided to take her back to the clinic.

On the way, I specifically explained that the minimum requirement for candidates in the county exam is that they must be fresh graduates.

Most colleges accept nominal students. Those students who cannot afford to go to school or do not want to attend school as a part-time student will choose to be listed, but they have to pay a nominal fee which is one-fifth of the tuition for ordinary students.

He had to first go to the academy where he was registered to ask the teacher to issue a certificate, and then go to another place to register. Qin Yunxi's health was not suitable for traveling with him.

It is similar to the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. Only current students are eligible to take the examination, and people in society are not eligible.

But it is also quite open, allowing you to pay money and register as a repeater in the school, and you don't have to go to classes. The tuition is discounted, and repeaters are also considered formal students and are allowed to take the entrance exams.

Qin Yunxi didn't understand the significance of this operation, nor did she have the intention to follow. She was already very tired after such a short distance, and her body was in urgent need of rest. If she went, she would only be a hindrance.

Besides, it’s already past noon, and I don’t know how complicated the procedures are. Time is very tight, and I might miss it this year if I’m not careful!

It’s better to take the exam earlier and realize the original owner’s wish earlier!

Although she doesn't have to realize it, the important thing is to be able to move more openly!

The second male lead is making progress but she is the one enjoying it!

When they arrived at the clinic and explained the situation, Doctor Kang expressed his understanding and said they would take good care of Mrs. Mu and urged Mu Jingheng to get back to business.

But Mu Jingheng still insisted on sending her to the room before the inner room, and only left after listening to the sound of her locking the door from the inside.

Qin Yunxi was not a germaphobe. Seeing that the bed was relatively clean, she lay down with her clothes on and took a rest. She fell asleep soon after.

He is also very carefree!

She slept until Mu Jingheng came back. She heard someone knocking on the door in a daze, but she couldn't open her eyes. Then the knocking stopped and she fell asleep again.

"My wife? Wake up, it's time to go home." Mu Jingheng climbed in through the window and found that the woman was just sleeping, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lady, it's getting late. We have to go back before dark. The ox cart is waiting outside." Seeing that she had her eyes slightly open and seemed half awake, he picked her up with the quilt.

"I'm not going back. I'm going to the grain store. I don't want to eat stale rice..." Qin Yunxi muttered while leaning in his arms.

In just two days she had become accustomed to this humanoid tool. There was nothing she could do; her body was not strong enough and she could not leave him for the time being.

"Well, it's cold outside. Put on your coat and go buy rice." Mu Jingheng frowned. His wife wanted to go to Qingteng County with him, but the money was not enough. If he spent more money, he would feel more cramped when the time came.

But he had already paid the registration fee, and he was worried about leaving his wife with someone else. Besides, the family was really running out of food, and they would have to stay at home for several more days!

"Did you have a good day today?" Qin Yunxi rubbed his eyes and tried to cheer himself up.

"Well, it's okay." Of course it wasn't smooth, but fortunately I managed to get a spot before the deadline.

There is a quota limit for the county examination, but Qinghe County is poor and there are not many scholars, so there are always vacancies left over every year, so he was able to get a quota on the last day and qualify for the county examination.

Qin Yunxi put on her coat with his help and did not see his ugly expression. As she was still not fully awake, she could not discern the meaning of his tone or words.

When she opened the door, her hand paused. The door was still stuck in the previous position. There was a mark there. She saw it when she locked the door and deliberately stuck it in that position.

She turned around and asked, "Jingheng, how did you get in?"

Mu Jingheng pointed to the window and said, "Climb through the window."

Qin Yunxi: “……!!!” I was careless. Fortunately, I didn’t meet any bad guys!

There was indeed a ox cart parked in front of the clinic, but it was not the one from the morning. This one had a shed and a fence, which provided a certain degree of safety but did not block the wind.

Compared with the ox cart in the morning, this is already a luxury version, probably rented from a carriage shop.

That makes sense. It's the spring plowing season now and the farmers' cows have been driven to the fields, so they don't have any free time.

Mu Jingheng helped her up, told the driver to go to the grain store first, and then got on the carriage.

The grain shop is also on the main street, just a few dozen meters above the clinic.

We passed a butcher's shop on the way, but it was closed.

I wanted to buy some lean meat to make porridge, and some fatty meat to make oil for cooking, but I don’t know if vegetable oil is commonly used at this time?

There weren't that many varieties of goods in the grain shop. The sun had already started to set, and the visibility inside was dim, so it was difficult to distinguish the quality of the goods.

Qin Yunxi looked around and didn't find anything she wanted to buy, so she only chose ten kilograms of rice and two kilograms of eggs, and also bought half a kilogram of vegetable oil and some seasonings.

That's all, let's just make do with it for now. Her body can't handle a lot of nourishment for now. When she goes to the county town in a few days, I'm sure there will be a lot more supplies, and she can have a good nourishment then.

This little bit of stuff cost nearly a penny of silver. Mu Jingheng wanted to stop her and buy half fine grains and half coarse grains, but she refused. The two of them had to eat two kinds of food. She started to demolish the bridge before she had even crossed the river. No human being could do that!

But the prices are so expensive, especially in such a shabby place!

After putting the things on the oxcart and placing them there, the driver slowly started the car when he saw that everyone was seated.

There was no sun in the evening and the wind was strong, so it was very cold! Seeing that there were not many people on the road, Mu Jingheng turned his body to the side and reached out to hold her in his arms.

Qin Yunxi was not a pretentious person, so she chose a comfortable position and lay on him.

This is a human-shaped heater, who can refuse it!
