The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"and many more--"

Li Dazhu chased to the gate of the yamen, just in time to see Li Shanshan's group, and hurriedly called to stop the people in front.

"Dazhu, why are you running here?" Li Shanshan asked when he heard the voice and saw Dazhu running from behind when he turned his head.

"Yes, it's your family's three treasures and four girls who have been found. Your mother, let me tell you that you don't need to report to the police, and go home quickly." Li Dazhu hurried along the way and rushed to the county government. Still out of breath, he panted heavily and said to Li Shanshan.

"What, are the two children really back?" Li Shanshan asked with disbelief on his face.

"Yes, yes, I, can still joke with you." Li Dazhu laughed.

As soon as he heard that the child was found, Li Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, brother Dazhu, for coming to tell us." It's about the board.

They came to the yamen to report to the officials, and what they reported was just a hope. If something happened to the child, it may not be true that the officials of the yamen would really help ordinary people like them find the child back.Fortunately, the child was found before they reported to the police, which is naturally a better thing.

"It's good if the child is found. We don't need to report to the officials, so let's go back." Two uncles followed Li Shanshan to the town's yamen. They were a little older and walked slower. Everyone worked hard all the way to the county seat.

This is also the reason why Li Dazhu, who came from behind, could catch up with the people in front.

A group of people left from the gate of the yamen, and the yamen servants at the gate of the yamen saw a few people coming, and then left without doing anything, they were still wondering what was going on.

Knowing that the child had returned home, Li Shanshan was anxious and wanted to go home quickly to see if the child had really returned. He was always a little worried if he didn't see the child.There are also wives and old mothers at home, everyone is worried for a day.

Li Laoer heard that the two children had returned, he was relieved, and the pace of going back was relaxed, talking and laughing with people on the way.

"Brother, if you hunt good prey another day, send it to our restaurant, and our restaurant will collect it for you." The shopkeeper received a few prey from Orion, all of which were still alive, and beckoned Xiao Er to the back kitchen Go, settled the money for Orion, and said to Orion.

Some customers in the restaurant like to eat some wild game, try something new, and they can afford the price.Orion will send prey to their restaurant. The shopkeeper finds that the wild animals sent by Orion are better than those sent by other hunters. He has become familiar with Orion once and twice, and the shopkeeper is not very good at suppressing Orion. The price, the price given is still fair.

"Okay, I'll send the wild animals to your Ruyi building another day. Thank you, shopkeeper Wang." Orion took the money. Into the arms.

Looking at the entire Qingping Town, the Ruyi Restaurant is the largest and has the best business, and the prey will be collected in the restaurant, which saves him from having to run outside.And comparing the prices of several other restaurants, Ruyi Restaurant's offer is still reasonable, and Orion will send the prey to this restaurant.

After thanking the shopkeeper, Orion came out of the restaurant.

Passing by a group of people in a hurry on the street, Orion went into a tavern opposite.

Li Shanshan and his party returned to the village from the town, and it took another half a day before they returned.

"Thank you Uncle and the clan brothers and the boys for going to the town. Thank you uncle and clan brothers for a trip." Back in the village, Li Shanshan thanked the several uncles and clan brothers who went to town with him, please Everyone went to his house to drink water.

The two uncles waved their hands, "Another day, don't worry, you go home first to see if the child is back, and we are going home too."

Everyone didn't follow Li Shanshan to his place either, they separated in the village and went back to their respective homes.Li Shanshan was worried about the child, and hurried back home, followed by Li Laoer and Li Dazhu.

***

The mother and son woke up after taking a nap in the house, and it was already sunset.

After sleeping, Sun Yi's spirits improved a lot. After Li Wen woke up, she yawned and followed behind his mother.Seeing that the child looked sleepy, the woman touched the child's face and said, "Sambo, why don't you go back to the room and sleep for a while?"

"Don't go to bed, Mom, if you sleep at night, you won't be able to sleep." Li Wen rubbed his eyes, but he wasn't sleepy, but he didn't recover from the energy, "Wait for me to take it easy, Mom."

"Well, Auntie is busy in the kitchen. If you don't make dinner, it will be late." Sun Yi was a little worried when the man at home hadn't come back, but it was time to make dinner now, so she had to go Get dinner ready.

There is no separation in their family, and the two families always eat together, so the housework is done separately.At home, the women in each family take turns to cook for a day. Aunt Li did it yesterday, but today it is Sun Yi's turn to cook.It is not easy for a family of more than a dozen people to cook a meal alone. Fortunately, Da Ya and Er Ya will help with any work at home when they see each other.

At this moment, every household is cooking dinner, and the small village is full of smoke, and it is peaceful.

Everyone in the yard of their house was busy with work. Mrs. Li sat on a small stool in front of her house, following her grandson with her eyes.Seeing her grandson in front of her, the old lady was more satisfied than anything else.

"Eh-"

The yard door was pushed open, and Li Wen was following his aunt's buttocks. When he turned his head and saw his father and second uncle came back, he immediately tightened his skin, moved to his aunt's place, and shouted "Father, second uncle."

Li Shanguan stared at his boy with a gloomy expression, and when Li Wen thought that his father would also pick him up and beat him up, his father let out a heavy "hmm".Seeing her husband and second uncle coming back, Sun Yi asked, "Husband, second uncle, you are back, have you reported to the Yamen?"

"No, it just so happened that we were about to report to the officials when we arrived at the Yamen, but Dazhu rushed over and stopped us." Li Shanshan looked at his wife with a softer gaze, and said.

"Oh, that's good." Hearing her husband's words, Sun Yi showed a smile on her face, knowing that the man at home was tired after walking such a long way back from the town, and asked him to rest for a while, and then he can eat while waiting up.

"Yeah." Li Shanshan glanced at his boy, Li Wen's skin tightened when his father looked at him, but fortunately his father took a look at him and had no plans to deal with him for the time being.Li Shanshan walked over to his aunt, and called out "Aniang."

"Just come back." Seeing the two sons coming back, Li Wang was relieved when he heard that they had not reported to the official.

Li Shanshan went to pour a large bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Wen stared at his father out of the corner of his eye, not daring to get close to his father at this time.His father looked at him, and the eyes of father and son just met. Li Wen looked away guiltily, and followed his mother every step of the way.

Li's second child came back and called A Niang, then went back to the house to see his wife and children.

The sun had set in the west, and the family's dinner was ready.

Today they saw meat on the dinner table, Chinese cabbage stewed with pork, and vermicelli in it. This is the first time meat has appeared on their dinner table since the Chinese New Year.Second Aunt Li, who came out of the house after breastfeeding the baby, could not help swallowing when she smelled the smell of meat, and said to her grandmother, "Auntie, what our family eats today is better than New Year's Eve."

The girls started to salivate from the cooking just now, but none of them dared to steal the meat from the pot.

Da Ya chopped up the stalks of wild vegetables and fed them to the chickens, and several hens gathered around to peck at them.

"Everyone sit down and eat." Mrs. Li Wang glanced at Li Dahua who was speaking, and said.

Li Dahua happily found a seat and sat down.

On the table, besides stewed pork with Chinese cabbage and vermicelli, there was rice steamed with corn mixed with sorghum, and a large plate of wild vegetables were fried. The boiled water was green, without any oil, and a little salt was put in it Go down and cook.

This is already the most sumptuous dinner that their family can bring out now.

After seeing Mrs. Li sitting down, everyone sat down one by one.

There are many people eating at home, so there are naturally many things to eat. It is said that Chinese cabbage is stewed with pork and vermicelli, but in fact, there are no pieces of meat in the pot, and there are vegetables and vermicelli on it.Li Wang's spoon scooped it down, and the first one scooped up a spoonful of vermicelli and vegetables in his grandson's bowl, and there were several pieces of meat in it.

Then came the ones in the son's bowl, and then the ones in the granddaughter's and daughter-in-law's bowls, and the old lady herself was the last one.

There was no meat in the bowls of the girls. They were all used to grandma's eccentricity, and none of them dared to say anything. They all thought that they were used to eating meat at home, so they didn't think it was unfair.

Second Aunt Li's eyes turned red when she saw the meat in Li Sanbao's bowl. Why is he a kid who doesn't do anything and eats more meat than all of them? They can only drink some soup and eat some vermicelli.Li Dahua pretended to smile and said to her grandmother, "Aunt, these girls haven't eaten meat for several months, you should let the girls taste meat too."

"I see that it's not some girls who want to eat meat, it's you who want to eat meat." Li Wang saw that the second daughter-in-law didn't treat girls very well on weekdays, so don't think that the old woman is easy to fool when she is old. .

This woman beat and scolded her own girls, how much she could love her.Even though her grandma doesn't like some girls, she, as a grandma, won't beat and scold them at will.

Of the two daughters-in-law, neither one was liked by the old lady, and Li Wang felt heartbroken when she thought of it. Fortunately, she also had a good grandson, which could make the old lady feel better.

"No way, I'm just talking about it." Li Dahua glanced at her mother-in-law. She had been suppressed by her mother-in-law for a long time. Even if she had a lot of dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law in her heart, she did not dare to express it in front of her mother-in-law.

"Okay, you can't stop your mouth if you have something to eat, eat it quickly." Li Lao Er put the meat in the bowl into the wife's bowl, and when he saw the meat in the bowl, Li Dahua didn't say anything. As soon as the chopsticks were clamped, the meat was sent into the mouth.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went through a trick before they calmed down and had dinner.
