The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Listen, for some reason, he fell asleep under the grape trellis. In his dream, he dreamed that Professor Li taught him to study in his previous life. When he woke up, he felt melancholy.

After he woke up, the sound of reading in the room had not stopped.

It was already close to noon, but he didn't expect him to sleep for such a long time, Li Wen wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, afraid that his parents would find him outside, so he didn't miss this place any more, and hurried to out.

The scholar who was studying in the house did not know that there was a child under the grape arbor outside who listened to him reading for a whole morning.

As soon as Li Wen went out, he was caught by his mother.

"Where did you go to play, kid? Auntie looked for you everywhere but couldn't find you." Sun Yi was helping out in the kitchen. She was flustered after not seeing her kid for a long time, and came out to see Siya Playing with other children, but did not see her three treasures.

After asking Siya, Siya said she didn't see Three Treasures, she searched around the courtyard but found no one, thinking of the last time the child disappeared, Sun Yi felt a little panicked.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a child running out of nowhere, and the woman grabbed the child.

"Aniang, Sanbao is in this courtyard, there is no one running around." Li Sanbao smiled at his mother.

"You kid, you still said you didn't run around. Why are your clothes so dirty?" Sun Yi saw that the child's clothes were stained with something, so she bent down and patted the dirt on the child, saying, "It's already noon , Sambo is hungry? We have to eat later, you play in this courtyard for a while, don't run around, you know?"

There is a lot of food in the kitchen. She works in it, but it is not easy to take food out of it for the children, and others will gossip if they see it.These days, it’s always a good time to arrange things for the banquet. If everyone gets them in advance, and there aren’t enough things for the banquet, it will be ugly for the host to pursue.

The banquet won't start until the afternoon, and it's only noon now, so it's still early.

"Yeah, aunt, I understand. If you are tired, aunt, you should take a break." Li Wen meant to tell his aunt not to work hard, because others don't know his aunt's body. He knows it.

"Aniang knows, don't run around outside. Aniang works in the kitchen. If you have anything to do, go to the kitchen to find Aniang." Sun Yi also reminded a few words, Li Wen nodded honestly, After touching the child's little face, the woman went to the kitchen.

The banquet at the village head's house didn't start until the sun set.

Anyone in the village who had tables and benches brought them over. The children followed the adults to find a place to sit down. People from every household in the village came.The village chief greeted the guests at the door. People in the village who came to eat would accompany them with gifts, sending a piece of meat and a basket of eggs, and some cheeky people came to eat after grabbing two handfuls of wild vegetables.

The mother-in-law of the village head curled her lips in dissatisfaction when she saw someone coming over with two handfuls of wild vegetables.

The cheeky man also went in, making it clear that he came here for free today.

There are all kinds of people in the village, and everyone has long been familiar with them, but after these things, everyone will still talk about them behind their backs.

The adults sat at a table, and the children sat together.

Li Wen sat in the pile of children. Their table was full of children, and the noise of the children could be heard next to their ears. The child on the opposite side was having a runny nose, wiping their hands with their sleeves.But there is no way, who made him a child, so he can only sit with a group of little carrot heads.

"Sanbao, when did you say it will arrive at our table?" Sitting beside her brother, Li Siya kept looking behind her, trying to see when the food would be delivered to them.

From the moment the cooking started in the kitchen, there was a scent coming out, and Li Siya's saliva never stopped, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.

"Hurry up, wait a little longer, our side is indispensable." Li Wen saw his aunt serving the dishes, and thought of his aunt coming to help with work from the morning to the evening, he still felt sorry for his aunt.

The dishes were delivered from the top to the bottom, and they were also delivered to their table after a while.

They sat at this table full of children, and they didn't follow any rules. These days, the children were hungry and couldn't get enough to eat. As soon as the food was delivered, a group of children rushed to grab it, and those who couldn't handle the chopsticks went straight to grab it.

"..." The corners of Li Wen's eyes twitched. Fortunately, he stretched out his chopsticks quickly, and he picked up a lot of chopsticks, and gave some to Li Siya.

"Thank you brother." Li Siya has small hands and short hands, and she can't grab it if she is farther away.

Not to mention the children scrambling for food at this table, the women sitting there are not all the same, as soon as the food comes, one person and one chopstick will go over it, and if the action is slow, the bowl will be empty when the chopsticks are put over.

The dishes came up one by one, and they started the next round of robbing the food. The scene was noisy, eating a meal was like fighting a battle, and the children who couldn't get it were crying loudly there. The one with a big temper directly started to move his hands.

The adults saw it and didn't have time to take care of it. Everyone is busy picking up vegetables and eating at the moment, so there is no time to take care of the children.

"Siya, I'm full, I'm leaving first." Li Wen hurriedly finished eating and ran away, not wanting to stay here any longer.

"Oh, brother, why are you leaving?" Li Siya continued to eat, her stomach was not full, seeing her brother left, the little girl continued to grab food.

Those who help with the work can only eat at the end. The host's house specially left two tables of meals for them. After finishing the work in the kitchen, Sun Yi sat down with her mother to eat with everyone.

After Li Wen was full, he came out to see his aunt and granny, and they started eating. He went over and called aunt.

"Why did Sambo come down?"

"Aniang, I'm full, you can eat, I'll go over there to play by myself."

After talking to his mother, Li Wen went to the side. Sun Yi saw the child who had left, and turned back to continue eating her meal, and said something to his mother in a low voice.

Li Shanshan, who was drinking with people over there, saw their family's three treasures, and Li Wen looked up to see his father looking at him.The eyes of the father and son met, Li Wen walked over to his father, and called out "Daddy."

"Well, have you eaten?" Li Shanshan took his son into his arms. If you say that this man doesn't love his son, it's not true. It's just that men usually talk less, and they love their children a lot.

"I've eaten, I'm full." Li Wen slipped into his father's arms, smiling at his uncles.

Compared with the tables where women sit, it is much more civilized for men to eat and drink together, at least no one will grab the food on the table.When everyone saw the boy from Li Shanshan's family, they all liked to tease the children. Li Wen continued to pretend to be a child who was innocent and smart, and dealt with his uncles.

"Would you like to taste it?" Seeing his son staring at the wine in his glass, Li Gusu dipped his chopsticks into his mouth and asked.

Li Wen really stuck out his tongue to lick it, and wrinkled his little nose.

"Haha..." All the men at the table laughed.

"Okay, let's go play when you're full." Li Shanshan patted his son's butt and told him to play.

"Oh." Li Wen smoothly turned out of his father's arms. The taste of the wine I tried just now is naturally not as strong as the modern sorghum liquid liquor. The same is true of water, he would suspect that this wine has been mixed with water.

In this era, the sale of alcohol had to be approved by the imperial court, because grain was used to make wine, and ordinary people could not brew it casually. The shops selling alcohol in the town had to be registered with the government office to sell alcohol.

When the sun went down and the banquet was finished, everyone got up to the table one after another, and almost all the dishes on the table were eaten.

"This is what Seventh Uncle's birthday banquet is for today." Speaking of today's banquet, everyone gave a thumbs up.

There are also meat dishes on the table today. Although there is not much meat, there is still a bit of oil and water. For many people who have never eaten a little meat, this feast is already considered very good.

I haven't seen the last time someone's house put wine, and the dishes that were put out were all vegetarian, without any oil or water.

After eating, the women will stay to help pack things.

After a day's work, everyone is tired, and everyone's work is unavoidably slow. The first lady said, "Let's be quicker, pack up our things and go home to rest."

"Let's hurry up and go home when we're done." Someone echoed.

After waking up to work in the morning, Sun Yi also felt tired, as if something was stuck in her heart, she took a breath, and insisted on washing the pile of pots and pans while squatting down.

"Mother, the child is crying. I'll take the child home first." The child was crying, which happened to give Li Dahua an excuse. Li Dahua told the mother, and took the child away with the mother's consent.Second Aunt Li laughed at people when she went out, "It's dark and the child knows where to go and keeps crying. I'll take the child home to coax him."

The child is obviously hungry, just feed him a meal.

Then Li Dahua took the younger one away, and the two older girls stayed here to work, and Li Dahua didn't care.Who is so stupid to stay there to help with work when his stomach is full, and Li Dahua curled his lips in his heart after walking away.

Today Li Dahua brought a child over to help with work, and she was lazy while working. Seeing that she brought a small child, no one would say anything about her, so Li Dahua felt at ease and did less work, but she did not see her when eating Eat a little less, the chopsticks will be lowered faster than anyone else, and the chopsticks will be picked up more than anyone else.

Some things are seen by others, but they are not said in person.

When Li Dahua left with the child, the old woman who was close to Li Wang discussed her two daughters-in-law, and the talkative old woman said, "I see your two daughter-in-laws, the second one has a lot of heart , or the boss, this person is honest and diligent in doing things."

What's the use of working hard, and the stomach can't give birth to a baby. If it wasn't for the sake of her grandson, she would have asked that woman to divorce and remarry. Li Wang smiled in her heart, and smiled on her face. In response to other people's words.

To the west there is still the last bit of sunset, and all the work is done.

Seeing that everyone had finished all the work, the wife of the village head's family smiled and said to everyone, "Thanks to everyone's help today, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to do so many things myself, hard work Thank you, everyone, for your hard work.”

"Hey, it's hard work or not. We are all members of our own family. We should help with something. In the future, if anyone has something to say, we will come over." Today, all the people who came to help are from the same clan. All of them are related by relatives.

This is the case in the village. When someone has a happy event, everyone goes to help. The family does not cook, and the whole family goes to eat.The village head's mother-in-law is stingy and has a good face, the woman muttered in her heart, and thanked everyone politely.

There is still food in the kitchen that has been taken back, and the woman is not willing to take it home for anyone to eat, and it is still in the kitchen.

After the work was done, everyone went back together, and some people were whispering on the road.

"Ma'am, can we go home now?"

"Well, let's go back."

Li Wen waited until his aunt finished her work, and then followed his aunt, and went home with his aunt and grandmother.Sun Yi held the child's hand, touched the child's head, and took the child home.

The man behind saw his wife going back with the child, and followed in twos and threes to go home.
