The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

As soon as May is over, the fifth day of the lunar new year is Li Wen's birthday. This is his fifth birthday in this world, and he will be five years old after his birthday.

Early in the morning, his mother cooked him a bowl of noodles with an egg on top.

The whole family can only have a bowl of noodles and an egg on his birthday, which is already a luxury for their family.

"After today, our three treasures are one year older." Sun Yi put the noodles on the small table and told her son to sit down and eat the noodles.Sun Yi dared to do this because of her mother's special orders, otherwise she would not have dared to cook such good food for her son on her own.

Seeing her son's well-behaved appearance, Sun Yi said, "Eat the three treasures while they are hot."

Smelling the aroma of noodles and eggs, Li Wen has tried his best to control his appetite, but when he smells the aroma of food, his mouth will also secrete saliva.He sat down on the small bench, Li Wen leaned closer and smelled it, and said to his aunt with his little face up, "It smells so good, thank you aunt."

"It's delicious. Auntie, you should try it too." Li Wen picked up the chopsticks and picked up a mouthful of noodles, and then held a chopstick for his Auntie, asking her to eat it.

Knowing her son's temper, Sun Yi went over to take a bite, rolled her eyes with a smile, and said, "Yes, it's delicious. Auntie ate it, let's eat the three treasures by myself."

The son knew to be filial to his mother since he was a child, and he would share any good food with his mother. If she didn't eat it, he wouldn't eat it himself.Sometimes Sun Yi thought to herself, why did she give birth to such a good child, who was smart, sensible and well-behaved since she was a child, it was simply a treasure given to her by God.

The family agreed to send the child to study, and the woman's heart was filled with hope. Her son is so smart, he might be able to come back with a champion in the future, Sun Yi thought in her heart.

"A Niang." Li Wen ate half of an egg, and asked his A Niang to eat the other half.

With tears in her eyes, Sun Yi took a sip of the egg and let the child eat the rest.More than half of a bowl of noodles entered Li Wen's own stomach, and his mother refused to eat any more after taking two sips.

There was still some unfinished food in the bowl, which happened to be given to Li Siya who came over.

After the little girl finished drinking the soup, she stuck out her little tongue and wanted to lick the bottom of the bowl clean.Li Wen didn't want the little girl to lick the bottom of the bowl, thinking it didn't look good, he reached out to take the bowl, looked at the little girl and said, "I've finished eating, there's no more, Siya, I'll sell it to you when I get rich food."

When Li Siya heard this, she looked at her brother with bright eyes.

"Brother, I won't lie to you." Li Wen couldn't stand the little girl's gaze, looking at the little girl's hungry and thin face, even though he wasn't fat himself, he was not as thin as a hungry face.

The little girl hadn't had enough food since she was born, and she was really skinny with only a handful of bones left. In addition, his aunt didn't really care about the number of daughters. good.

Li Wen felt that he was actually a selfish person, but in such an environment, there was nothing he could do if he was not selfish. Everyone's stomachs couldn't be full, and he had to have a full stomach if he wanted to survive.Even if there are some good things, he still takes care of his mother and grandma first. For the rest of the dishes, he will think of his younger sister and sisters, but when it is their turn, there are already none.

But he thought, it won't be long before their family gets better.

The food for breakfast was the same as usual. Li Wen ate a bowl of noodles earlier, but he wasn't hungry when it was time to eat, so he didn't eat it.

Hmph, being a grandson is different!

Li Dahua knew that Sun Yi cooked noodles and laid eggs for Li Sanbao in the morning, which was allowed by her mother. She thought she couldn't eat an egg after giving birth to a baby, and a kid would have a bowl of noodles and eggs to eat after his birthday. Blaming her for giving birth to another female doll, Li Dahua felt unwilling to think of this.

"You show someone a bad face early in the morning. If you don't want to eat, you can go down. You don't have to eat." Li Wang's sharp eyes swept towards the wife of the second family. This daughter-in-law is really getting more and more let down People can't like it.

If I had known earlier, I would have asked the matchmaker to tell my son a girl from another village. It was better than marrying such a thing and going home. She would be lazy at work, eat more than anyone else, and couldn't even give birth to a son!

"Where is it, mother, I don't want to eat, I'm hungry." Li Dahua murmured, and hurriedly lowered her head to eat her meal.

In this family, Li Dahua was still a little afraid of her grandmother, like a quail in front of her, swallowing everything she had to say and not daring to make a sound.

Li Daya and Li Erya ate their food with their heads down. The two girls had no sense of presence in this family.

Li Siya raised her head and secretly glanced at her grandma and grandma.

After breakfast, the family was busy with their own affairs. After the two men in the family went to work in the town, the work in the field was handed over to the two women to take care of them.This year's rain is good, and it will rain from time to time after spring. The crops in the field don't need to be watered, and the growth looks good. Compared with drought years, it is much easier.

In addition, Da Ya and Er Ya can help with many tasks, and even Si Ya will work behind the sisters, and they can also be busy with the work at home.

Now his mother took him with her wherever she went, so when his mother went to work in the field, she took him there, and Li Wen followed behind her.

"Just sit and play by the side, don't run down." As the weather got warmer, Sun Yi's cough gradually got better, and the woman looked better than before, and she didn't look so pale.

"Oh." Li Wen actually wanted to help his mother with the work in the field. In fact, the work he did was very simple, just pull out the grass when he saw it in the field.But his mother didn't allow him to go to the ground, so he had to watch from the sidelines.

Li Siya followed and burrowed into the ground, as flexible as a small earthworm.

Li Wen was waiting for his aunt under the tree, when he heard the rustling sound from the grass, he looked there suspiciously, thinking it was some kind of beast.Then I saw a big black dog with a shiny black coat come out of it, looking at him with a pair of hanging triangular eyes.

The big dog shook its black hair and walked towards him.

"General! Why did you come here?" Li Wen's voice was full of surprise, he didn't expect this big black dog to appear here.He wasn't too afraid of the big wolfhound, probably because of this, except for the first time, the dog hadn't been more aggressive than them.

When he was young in his previous life, his grandma had raised a dog. Not long after his grandma left, the dog followed him. Since that time, there have been no animals in their family.Dogs are actually animals that understand human nature very well, so Li Wen is not very afraid of dogs, and he quite likes them.

When the big dog walked in, Li Wen saw a pheasant in the big black dog's mouth.

The big black dog threw the pheasant in front of him. The pheasant was still flapping its wings, and it was still alive. Li Wen looked at the big black dog, then at the pheasant in front of him, and asked, "Is this for me?"

The big black dog answered him with a cold look, and then the dog left, leaving only a butt for him.

Obviously this pheasant is for him!

Could it be that Orion remembered his birthday?Made a special trip to get the pheasant that the big black dog gave him?Li Wen grabbed the thumping pheasant and giggled silly. He looked in the direction where the big black dog was leaving, and the big black dog had disappeared.

When Sun Yi came up from the field and saw a tied pheasant at her son's feet, Sun Yi asked, "Sambo, where did this pheasant come from?"

She would not think that her son caught it, let alone a child who wanted to catch a pheasant, even an adult would not be able to catch this kind of thing.Pheasants are different from domestic chickens. They have wings and can fly, which is difficult to catch.

"...Yes." Li Wen thought about it, and thought of the story of waiting for a rabbit, and said, "This chicken bumped into it by itself, and it knocked unconscious on the edge of this tree, and I just picked it up." The chicken Although he didn't bump into it by himself, it was also sent by the big black dog. They are all the same in essence, they are all delivered to the door.

It is also difficult for him to say that this chicken was sent to him by a dog, and it is difficult for him to explain it to his family when he goes back.

"Really?" Sun Yi was dubious, but she happily grabbed the pheasant at her son's feet, weighed it, and said, "This chicken is really important. It just so happens that today is the birthday of Sanbao. This chicken was killed and given to Sanbao." eat meat."

"Okay, okay, we have chickens to eat." Li Siya came up from the field, saw the big fat chicken in the aunt's hand, and heard the aunt said that he would eat chicken tonight, so he screamed, very happy up.

Da Ya and Er Ya were also happy, and Da Ya smiled a little more reservedly.

Heck, a chicken would run over and knock itself out on a tree for no reason?Li Dahua murmured in her heart why she was so lucky, and she had never seen a chicken delivered to her door to pick it up.

When they brought the chicken back home, upon hearing what his grandson said, Mrs. Li bowed to the mountain, murmuring and didn't know what she was talking about. After opening her eyes, she said to her grandson, "Blessed is my grandson!" Maybe the God of the Mountain knows that my grandson is celebrating his birthday today, so he sent a chicken to my grandson. Let's kill this chicken tonight and eat it, just to nourish my grandson."

The hens raised by people in the village are all used to lay eggs, and they are reluctant to kill them for food.

It's been a long time since their family had eaten chicken. When they heard that there was chicken tonight, everyone was very happy.

The big knife was wiped on the neck of the chicken, and the chicken blood spurted out, and the chicken stopped moving after a while.

"Pour the water down."

Hot water was boiled in the kitchen, Sun Yi killed the chicken, Li Dahua took out the hot water and poured it into the big basin, and everyone plucked the chicken together.

Li Shanshan thought it was his son's birthday today, so he came back earlier than usual, and returned from the town before the sun went down.Li Shanshan also cut half a catty of pork back from the town, and hid a small bag of sugar in his arms, which he bought for his son specially.

"Yo, did the family kill the chicken today?" Second Uncle Li asked when he came back and smelled the smell of meat, lifted the lid and saw the chicken on the plate.

"That's right, it's not that Sambo was playing under a tree today, a pheasant bumped into it and got dizzy, so we picked it up." Sun Yi explained.Seeing that her man brought back meat, she took it, "Why did you still buy meat? We have chicken to eat tonight. Let's save this meat until tomorrow."

Fortunately, it is not very hot now, otherwise the meat will stink tomorrow.

"Yes." Li Shanshan nodded.

Uncle Li is still surprised that there is such a stupid chicken, "Thanks to this stupid chicken, we have meat to eat today." It doesn't matter whether the chicken is stupid or smart, as long as they have meat, such a stupid chicken is the best. Well come a few more.

A chicken was cut in half, half was eaten tomorrow night, half was stewed in chicken soup, Chinese cabbage and vermicelli were put into it to stew, the cooked chicken was picked up and cut into pieces, and there was a large plate.

It happened that everyone came back, so Li Wang said let's have dinner.

"Ma'am, it's time to eat."

"Ah."

There is a large plate of chicken on the table today, and everyone has meat to eat.

As long as it doesn't go too far, Li Wang doesn't limit who eats more or less. She put the cut chicken legs into her grandson's bowl.Li Dahua didn't have any objection to this, even if she had any opinion, she had to put it back in her stomach, and she didn't miss the chopsticks on the plate of chicken.

There are many people in their family, half a chicken is not much for each person, but despite this, everyone is very happy to eat.

After eating the chicken, he also had chicken soup. The Chinese cabbage cooked in the chicken soup was fragrant and soft. Li Wen ate a big bowl of vermicelli and drank two bowls of soup. He was very satisfied.

But today, not only he was very satisfied with eating, but everyone was also very satisfied. In the end, they even drank all the soup at the bottom of the pot, and there was nothing left.
