The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

The soup stewed by the old hen is fragrant and thick.

"Well, it smells so good." Li Wen drank two bowls in a row, and his whole body was warm after drinking it.

Knowing that her grandson was exhausted from the exams these days, Mrs. Li asked her daughter-in-law to kill an old hen to make soup for her grandson. Only the old lady was so willing to do this to her grandson.Li Wang put the chicken leg into his grandson's bowl, and said, "My dear grandson, eat a chicken leg, this is specially reserved for you by grandma."

"Thank you grandma, you can eat too, grandma, so don't worry about me." Li Wen felt very shameful in his heart, he was the third in this family, and there were two younger ones behind him.Seeing Wu Yato staring at the chicken legs in his bowl, but Li Wen knew that if he gave Wu Yatou a handful of chicken legs, it would still cause Wu Yato to be scolded by his grandma, so think about it.

Now their family is much better than before, only five girls in their family have never experienced any hardship since childhood.Since she grew up, the family has gradually improved, meat is often seen on the dinner table, and Wu Yatou is not as hungry and skinny as Si Ya and the others were when they were young.

"Elder Sister." The fifth girl was not satisfied with drinking the broth, she grabbed the elder sister's hand and wanted to eat the meat on the plate.

Li Daya is a little older, she understands the rules of this family better, the meat on the table is not something they girls can eat casually.The big girl comforted the fifth girl, and gave the younger sister a chopstick of food.

"Hey, I don't want it, I want to eat meat." The fifth girl cried, pointing to the chicken on the big plate, asking for meat.

The whole family calmed down and looked at Wu Yatou, not knowing what was going on.

Li Wang's face immediately turned dark. Seeing her mother-in-law's face changed, Li Dahua quickly grabbed the five girls and slapped them, "You damn girl, let you cry and cry, some eat and cry all day long, a girl who eats a movie , it would be nice to have food for you to eat, but you still want to eat meat all day long, I will let you eat, I will let you eat..."

"Wow..." The little girl who was beaten cried even louder.

Li Daya stood aside and watched A Niang beating her younger sister, her eyes were red, and she didn't dare to pull her.

"Sieve, stop beating, fifth sister is still young." Li Wen saw his second aunt beating fifth girl, and said aloud.

"Yeah, Dahua, stop beating the child. Don't you just want to eat meat? Today I killed a chicken so much meat, it's all for everyone to eat." Sun Yi got up and asked her aunt to stop beating the child .

"Go away, I beat my child, I want you to come here to pretend to be kind..." Li Dahua didn't like Sun Yi's mother and child at first, but when she saw Sun Yi coming to pull her, she pushed Sun Yi heartily and pushed her away. open.

Sun Yi didn't stand firm and almost fell down.

"Aniang, be careful!" Li Wen yelled when he saw that his aunt was about to fall.

Fortunately, Li Shanshan made a timely move and pulled him back, so Sun Yi stabilized her body.

Sun Yi's face turned pale after being shaken like this, Li Wen hurried over and asked, "Aniang, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"

"Noisy, noisy all day long, this family will not have a moment of peace. I think you are all hugging your belly, and you two don't have to eat today!" Li Wang was furious, pointing at Li Dahua and the little girl. Said.

Li Wen saw with his own eyes that his second aunt deliberately pushed his aunt. It seems that this woman must teach her a lesson, so when he heard his aunt say that they would not be allowed to eat, he would definitely not do it today. Helped his second aunt and the others to intercede;

Ma Dan was kind enough to be struck by lightning!

"Both of you, go back to the house!" Second Li's face became ugly when he saw that the trouble between his mother-in-law and daughter was too ugly, and his wife almost pushed his sister-in-law down.

If this falls, how can he explain to his elder brother and nephew?

"Ayi, is there something wrong?" Li Shanshan asked worriedly when he saw that his daughter-in-law's face was not looking well.

"No, I'm fine." Sun Yi waved her hand and said.

After a good meal turned into this, Li Shanshan looked at everyone with a sullen face.

The food on the table was still there, even if Li Shanshan was unhappy, he finally said to his mother for the sake of the peace of the family, "Mother, this is over for today, everyone sit down and eat Bar."

Li Dahua was also crying there, what was wrong with her beating and scolding the girl, because she gave birth to a girl and she was disliked, and the son she gave birth to would be the same as Li Sanbao!

The big girl pulled her sister over to coax her, and the little girl didn't dare to cry after crying twice.

"Looking like a family star, crying all day long, forget it, let's all sit down and eat." Li Wang's face was not very happy.

Everyone sat down to eat again, and the atmosphere was much more silent and awkward than at the beginning.

"Grandma, you can eat a piece of meat." Li Wen picked two pieces of soft meat for his grandma. In recent years, his grandma's teeth have fallen out, and hard things can't be eaten. They eat soft ones. Nothing with bones.

He grows up year by year, and the old lady grows old year by year. It is a sad thing to see relatives grow old.

Li Wen knew that his grandmother had always favored him, so it also made his second aunt jealous.It's just that his second aunt doesn't understand that people's hearts are changed. If you want others to treat you well, you have to treat others well.And when others treat you well, you should also treat others well, otherwise the kindness of others will not continue to be given to you.

His grandma loved him, and he knew grandma was good since he was a child, and he wanted to give grandma a piece of meat since he was a child.If he just blindly only knew what to ask for and didn't know how to give, the people in this family might not be able to kiss him like they are now.

But Li Dahua didn't understand this truth, she just knew how to be jealous and hated others, but never found the reason from herself, even her own daughters didn't kiss her.How can a mother be called a mother if she doesn't love her child and beats and scolds her child at every turn?

It is difficult for Li Wen to condemn a woman like his second aunt, because her world is backward and ignorant, and it is difficult for you to force him something.So it's not without reason that he doesn't like his second aunt. This woman has never been kind to others, but only selfishly thinks about her own interests.

The meat on the plate was distributed to everyone, and everyone could eat the meat.

Seeing the chicken soup on the table, Sun Yi didn't have any appetite, so she stopped eating after a little rice and vegetables.

The rice and dishes on the table are all finished, and there is still a little soup left in the plate, so today's meal is considered over.

After they had eaten, it was already dark outside, and everyone went back to their houses.

Back at the house at night, Li Wen saw that his mother's complexion was not very good, so he asked, "Aunt, are you feeling unwell, or if you don't know, my father and I will take you to the town to see the doctor."

"Ma'am, if there is something to do, you can go to see a doctor, and you will just think about it all day long." Sun Yi nodded her son's forehead and said.

"Aniang, what I said is true. How come the family is doing well now, so we can't even pay for the doctor's money. Let's go to the town to see the doctor. Let's rest assured if we are not sick. Isn’t it? Aniang, you are still waiting for your son to be the number one scholar in the exam. Aniang, don’t you want to be called the mother of a scholar, the mother of a number one scholar? Think about how prestigious this is, don’t you?” Li asked Lian, “Scholar Phrases like "his mother" and "the number one scholar's mother" can be used.

He is sure to win the examination for a scholar, but he still needs to work harder for the top pick.

"Pfft...you child." Sun Yi was so entangled by her son that she couldn't help it, but what his son said moved her, Sun Yi said, "Cheng Cheng, I will go to town with you tomorrow to have a look." , you child, Auntie has nothing to do with you."

"Aniang, don't you just look at it, hehe." Seeing that his Aunt agreed, Li Wen smiled.

A smile flashed in the eyes of the man standing aside when he heard what the two girls said.

"Father, Auntie, I want to ask you something. If we build a house here, do you want to continue living with Second Uncle and his family?" Li Wen remembered what his aunt did to his Aunt today, Usually he doesn't stay at home very often and doesn't know what's going on at home, so he doesn't know how his aunt usually treats his aunt.

But in the past few years, he was still young. When he was at home, he had seen his aunt being rude to his mother.

"You kid, why do you ask such a thing?" Sun Yi said when she heard her son's words.

"Mother, I mean seriously, I'm not young anymore." Li Wen really wanted to talk to his parents about this matter, he didn't want to talk about any conflicts between his mother and aunt in the future, it must be his mother I have suffered a lot.

He continued, "Aniang, if you don't want to live with your second uncle and aunt, let's take advantage of this meeting to clarify the matter. When the time comes to build a house, our two families will come separately, and grandma will stay with us in the future." Pass.

"As for the business at home, it's okay for Dad and your second uncle to continue to do business together. Even if we have separated, it will not affect the business of the second uncle and our family. The second uncle is still my second uncle, and we are still Isn't it a family?"

In fact, their family's food business, the recipes they make are mainly in their own hands. His aunt doesn't know anything about it. This is why his grandma prevented his aunt from accidentally leaking to her natal family.

As for his second uncle, he didn't even think about separating the family, so he was only thinking about doing business with his father to make money and train him to study.So if it is about the separation of the family, the only one who is sorry is his second uncle, Li Wen thought in his heart.

"Let's not worry about this. I'll discuss it with your grandma and second uncle later. It's important that we take your mother to the town to see the doctor for a checkup tomorrow." Li Shanshan said in a loud voice.

For this man, the matter of family separation can be put on the back burner, and the most important thing is that the daughter-in-law needs to see the doctor〇

"Well, okay, let's take Auntie to the town to see the doctor first." Li Wen didn't have any objections.

But after what happened today, Li Wen didn't quite agree that after building a new house, he would still live with his second uncle and his family.There will always be conflicts when there are many people living together. Today's incident was just because of a piece of meat, and it ended up being such an unhappy family.

Since his father said to let it go later, let's let it go later, he is not as clear as his father in dealing with these matters.

In February, it was still covered with a quilt, and it was still very cold to sleep at night.

Li Wen curled up on his own little bed, buried himself in the quilt and slept in his sleep...
