It was during lunch that Yu Zhou saw the elders of the He family.

He Yunqi's father seemed to have just come back from the outside, before he even had a sip of tea, he immediately rushed to the side hall to meet Yu Zhou and Yu Wenliang.

It's just that he looks quite serious. Tao Jiang sees him like a mouse sees a cat.

The two women of the He family, He Yunqi's grandmother and mother were much more easy-going, especially the old lady He, when she saw Yu Zhou, she quickly pulled her to her side and said, "Thanks to having you as a friend, Yunqi, these days Seeing his body getting better little by little, my wife is happy even eating and sleeping."

After speaking, he touched the tears overflowing from the corner of his eyes.

"You are serious," Yu Zhou said with a smile, "Yun Qi and I are good friends, so naturally we should help each other."

"Yes, what you said makes sense." The old lady patted Yu Zhou's hand, and then flirted with He Yunqi's father.

After thanking Yu Zhou, the old lady didn't leave Yu Wenliang alone, and pulled Yu Wenliang to praise her.

Compared with Yu Zhou, who has rich social experience and is good at dealing with the elderly, Yu Wenliang is much more tender. Although he was not rude, he was still blushed thoroughly by the old lady's praise.

Needless to say, the lunch that the He family used to entertain guests was sumptuous. After lunch, the bowls and chopsticks were removed, and several people gathered around the table to drink tea. Then Father He asked Yu Zhou: "I heard from Yunqi that you are going to participate The county test at the beginning of the year?"

"That's the decision." Yu Zhou replied.

Father He nodded, "In the past, Yunqi was weak, and his grandmother and mother and I didn't dare to let him take the county test. Now that his health is improving, by the time of the county test, he should have enough energy to cope with five years. An exam. When you take it together, you can also be each other's companions."

"That couldn't be better." Yu Zhou originally wanted to take the county exam with He Yunqi. This kind of mentality is probably similar to that before the exam, and a friend who is a top student will take the review with him, and he will feel more at ease in his heart.

"I still have some books and policy questions about the county examination," Father He said as he stood up, without asking Yu Zhou and Yu Wenliang if they would like it, and said directly, "Take them back and read."

It was indeed impossible for Yu Zhou to refuse, so after quickly thanking him, they followed Father He to the study outside.

After arriving at the study room, Father He directly took a stack of organized books and papers with things written on them to Yu Zhou, "You take these back to read, and just return the books when you're done."

After Tao Jiang heard it, she changed her previous quail appearance, slipped to Yu Zhou's side and said in a low voice, "The things my uncle sorted out are very useful, you are blessed."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the top book and flipped through it a little. Before he finished flipping through it, he shouted, "Uncle, what you gave me back then was not so detailed."

Hearing this, Father He raised his eyelids and glanced at him, Tao Jiang immediately shut up.

When Tao Jiang flipped through it, Yu Zhou also saw something. In addition to the text on the normal book, there were many annotations in small script in the blank space beside it. Every page was densely packed, and it looked like a flower Thoughtful.

So he hurriedly said another word of thanks, "Uncle Lao is taking care of you."

"It's just a waste of time." Father He waved his hand, then changed the topic, "As long as your Tongsheng Exam goes well, all my hard work will not be in vain."

Yu Zhou nodded and assured, "I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

Father He nodded, "You should have talked a lot about learning in the morning, so I won't ask too many questions today, come over when I have time next time, and I'll test you again."

Dare to say such a thing, Father He naturally has absolute confidence in his knowledge.

Yu Zhou didn't doubt it either, and bowed his hands and saluted, "Then I'll thank uncle for his advice first."

After returning from the study to He Yunqi's Zhaoxia Courtyard, Tao Jiang patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief, "I was scared to death just now."

"What's the matter?" Yu Zhou didn't notice any scary actions Father He made just now, could it be that there are other details he missed?

"Just now my uncle said that we had been discussing about learning for the whole morning," Tao Jiangdao, "We obviously spent half of the time discussing my cousin's lifelong affairs, so I feel very guilty."

Yu Zhou wanted to say that there was something guilty about it, but no one else would know if we didn't say anything, but when he saw Tao Jiang's appearance, he pretended to be puzzled and said, "It's not that people who often do bad things are here. Can you be as stable as Mount Tai in the face of interrogation?"

"That depends on who is asking the question. Uncle's words won't work." After Tao Jiang finished speaking, he realized that he had stepped into a trap, and said hastily, "How can I do bad things often!"

His reaction like this made both Yu Zhou and He Yunqi laugh out loud. Even Yu Wenliang didn't dare to laugh too exaggeratedly due to his age, but he also pursed his lips and laughed so that his shoulders twitched.

The time to get together is always short, and soon it will be around Weishi, when Yu Zhou and Yu Wenliang should say goodbye.

In addition to the stack of books and policy questions given by He's father, He Yunqi's grandmother and mother also gave some return gifts to Yu Zhou and Yu Wenliang, which made them feel very embarrassed.

Tao Jiang returned the gift and pulled He Yunqi, insisting on sending Yu Zhou and the others out of town.

It was not until the gate of the town that he gave the things to Yu Zhou and Yu Wenliang, and said reluctantly: "I will go back to the county school tomorrow to continue my studies. I will go to say goodbye. It will be Chinese New Year when I come back. I haven't even gone to Yu Wenliang yet." My brother was a guest."

Like He Yunqi, Tao Jiang also has few talents and reputations, and he is in good health, and he can even be called rough-skinned and thick-skinned. So two years ago, He's father asked him to take the children's test, the county test, the government test, and the hospital test for half a year. After passing the exams, he won the reputation of a scholar and successfully entered the county school run by the imperial court.

The number of times you can go home in a year is limited.

Seeing his sad appearance, Yu Zhou couldn't help laughing, "How can you leave home to be an official after this?"

"Do I seem to have the temperament suitable for being an official?" Tao Jiang was very self-aware, and then looked ahead and said, "Besides, being an official is not my ideal. My ideal is to become a teacher of the county school, and then be like me. Uncle taught me to teach those county school students."

Both Yu Zhou and Yu Wenliang were dumbfounded, and they both looked at He Yunqi questioningly.

He Yunqi said helplessly: "We also felt that if he became a teacher, he would mislead his disciples, but he insisted, everyone...you can't stop him from studying or taking the imperial examination right now."

Yu Zhou thought that anyone who has a dream is really great. Tao Jiang's reaction was similar to a news he had read before. He had bid for the right to bomb his alma mater after many years of graduation.He couldn't harm the school, so he came back to harm his juniors?

Tao Jiang continued, "When the Chinese New Year is approaching, when I come back from the county school, I must go to Brother Yu's house as a guest."

"Actually, I hope you can be a guest soon." Yu Zhou thought for a while.

Tao Jiang heard the words and immediately said with bright eyes: "Really?"

"Really," Yu Zhou said solemnly, "The autumn harvest is coming soon. My family not only has two acres of rice to harvest, but also more than half an acre of sweet potatoes to dig. If you can come to help me, my brother, it will be easy. Quite a few."

Tao Jiang: ...

After a while he held back, "Then can I take Xiaosong with me?"

After he finished talking about something, he immediately added, "He especially likes to eat the roasted sweet potatoes in front of our county school, and he will definitely like to go to the field to collect sweet potatoes."

It's a pity that he is used to having an unruly personality, and the book boy is not afraid of him at all. Hearing this, he muttered in the back: "It's obvious that you like to eat, so you let me buy it every time."

"Hahaha," Yu Zhou laughed, and patted Tao Jiang on the shoulder, "When you come back during the Chinese New Year, come and visit with Yunqi. There will definitely be more delicious food than roasted sweet potatoes."

"Yeah," Tao Jiang nodded again and again, took a tightly tied cloth bag from Xiaosong, and handed it to Yu Zhoudao, "This is a little gift for Brother Yu, I believe you will like it .”

From the shape, Yu Zhou could tell that there should be a few books wrapped in the cloth, but only he had it, and Yu Wenliang didn't. Combined with Tao Jiang's character, he couldn't help feeling a little unreliable in his heart.

After we parted and returned to the village, Yu Zhou agreed with Yu Wenliang to send the return gift from He's family to his home first, and then went to Mr. Wen's house with the book from He's father and asked him to read it first. .

After all, Mr. Wen knows Yu Zhou's current study progress best and can help arrange the order of study.

Most of the books that He Yunqi's father gave Yu Zhou and Yu Wenliang were read together, but there were also a few books that were given to them alone.

After turning over a few pages, Mr. Wen began to nod frequently.

Then quickly flip through the second book, the third book, and the policy questions written on the paper.

After about a stick of incense, he finally went through all the materials that Father He sent, licked his lower lip and said: "Grand He's talent and learning are beyond my comparability. The books he gave you are detailed and easy to understand. It's interesting to read, and Ce Wen is even more ingenious, and even the books that are given to you individually are given according to your shortcomings, and it must have taken a lot of thought."

Yu Zhou was stunned after hearing this. He thought that the learning materials He Yunqi's father sent were used by Tao Jiang or He Yunqi, and he sorted them out and gave them to them. He didn't expect that they were custom-made.

Father He had never met him and Yu Wenliang before, so he must have asked He Yunqi and Tao Jiang to know where they were short.

I couldn't help but be more grateful.

Mr. Wen returned Yu Zhou's share to him, "The books and policy questions Mr. He gave you are arranged according to the level of difficulty and depth. You can't make mistakes if you read it from the top to the bottom."

"Okay," Yu Zhou replied after stepping down, "After I've finished reading these, I'll change the look with Wen Liang."

When Yu Zhou returned home with a pile of books, Jin Chuan was washing rice and cooking, and when he saw him enter the door, he had a strange expression on his face.

But didn't say anything.

When Yu Zhou saw it, he would not let it go, "Did something happen?"

Jin Chuan hesitated for a moment and said: "When you went to Mr.'s house just now, I opened and put away all the things you brought back."

There is nothing to say about this at all, the two are married together, he went to someone else's house as a guest, and Jin Chuan took the gifts back and put them away, it was nothing more than a normal thing.

It's just that he suddenly thought of the package of books that Tao Jiang had given him, and he couldn't help but thump, and asked, "Is there something wrong with it?"

Jin Chuan asked: "Why did you... buy a few scripts written by yourself?"
