The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Whenever there is a happy event in the village, everyone in the village will be invited to drink and eat.

When the new house moved into the house, Li Shanshan went early to inform everyone that they would come to have a drink today, and the women of the clan came to help with work early in the morning.Even the seventh uncle came here with the elders of the clan. The village head and Li Zheng were invited to dinner, which shows that everyone has given Li Shanshan's family enough face.

There was a happy event in the family, and Li Shanshan also sent someone to invite the two younger sisters who were married to the neighboring village to come back to their mother's house for dinner.

Today, Li Sanmei and Li Simei also brought their husbands and children together. Seeing such a big house, Li Sanmei and Li Simei both knew that their natal family was different from the past.The children all told their parents that this house is so beautiful, with envy in their eyes.

"A Niang, brother and sister-in-law, we are back." Li Sanmei called out to A Niang when she saw A Niang.

"Well, it's good to come back, let's all sit down." Li Wang replied lightly. In the past, she was not a woman who loved her daughter too much, and her attitude towards her two daughters was lukewarm. good.

The old lady was far less affectionate with her grandsons than she was with her own grandsons. After all, grandsons are grandchildren, grandchildren of other people's families, and their own grandsons belong to their own family.

The children didn't come to grandma's house much, so they were not very close to grandma.

Seeing the two sisters coming, Sun Yi took their hands and talked to them affectionately, and said, "I saw that you haven't come here yet, so I wanted to ask someone to go to the entrance of the village to have a look, in case you couldn't find the way to come here."

"Hehe, why not? We also grew up in Lijia Village. We don't know anyone in this village. Sister-in-law, why are you worried that we won't be able to find our way?" It was when she left home in the morning that her mother-in-law asked her to finish the chores at home. She went out, but Li Sanmei didn't say the following words.

"Sister-in-law, is your belly five or six months old?" Li Simei asked when she saw the belly of sister-in-law

They would come back to their parents' house during the Chinese New Year, they hadn't been here for such a long time, and they didn't know that the sister-in-law was pregnant, otherwise they would have come back to take a look.It is difficult for a married daughter to come back to her mother's house.

"Well, yes, it's six months old." Sun Yi lowered her head and patted her stomach. The house was lively today, and the child in her stomach had been moving non-stop since early in the morning. She comforted the troubled child in her stomach, thinking A little helpless.

Seeing the two aunts come back, Sun Yi was still very happy.

Sun Yi was originally not from Lijia Village. There was a famine in his hometown that year, and many people died of starvation in his hometown. There was no food to grow in the field, and life was hard to live on. Everyone went outside. Everyone moved out.

Her father and mother took her and a younger brother on the road, and the younger brother died of illness on the way. Later, when they came to Lijia Village, his mother also left, leaving only a father and her to depend on each other.It wasn't until the second year after she married into Li's family that her father also left, leaving her alone, so there was no one in her natal family except herself.

A woman without her mother's family is like a rootless grass. If her husband's family treats her badly, there is no one to speak for her.This is also the reason why her second aunt always bullies her, even if her natal family has no one, Sun Yi understands it in her heart.

Fortunately, after she got married, even though her mother-in-law didn't treat her well, the men at home treated her well. Even the son she gave birth to was considerate and filial since he was a child, so Sun Yi didn't have any regrets in her heart.

The two sister-in-laws of the natal family, both sister-in-laws know that the elder sister-in-law is better than the second sister-in-law, so the relationship with the elder sister-in-law is also better.After talking with A Niang and sisters-in-law inside, Li Sanmei and Li Simei wisely went outside to help with work, "Aniang, sister-in-law, let's go outside to see what we can do."

"Well, let's go." Li Wang nodded and said.

There are a lot of bought meat and vegetables piled up outside the yard, which is as much as half a side of pork. I think there is meat to eat today.The women from the clan who came to help with the work were all diligent, knowing that today's dishes are very rich, everyone is working hard.

"There are so many dishes today, I have never seen anyone in our village hold such a sumptuous banquet."

"Yeah, look, there is half pork over there, so many people in our village can eat a bite."

"Let's work faster so we can eat earlier."

Li Dahua squatted there with the others to wash the vegetables, and the woman who washed the vegetables with Li Dahua said, "Dahua, if you don't separate from your uncle's family, you will have a share in this house, don't you think so?" ?”

"This uncle's family is building their house, and we will build ours tomorrow." Li Dahua said so, but he was a little confused in his heart.They still have a little money in their hands, and this money will be used to build a house. What will they eat later?

Besides, she still thinks that she will give birth to a boy next year, and send him to study in a few years. This is something that needs money, so thinking about it this way, Li Dahua thinks that their current old house is just enough to live in. Had to build a new house.

When everyone heard Li Dahua's words, they all smiled in their hearts. Everyone thought she was a fool to make trouble with uncle

The family is separated, and if they were to be replaced, everyone would want to cling to the uncle's family tightly.

"Da da la—"

"Old man, may I ask where Li Shanshan's family is going?"

"Oh, go to the valley's house, right? Go straight along this road, and go to the place with a lot of people behind."

A carriage came into the village. After asking the way, the coachman drove the carriage along the road and saw a new house at the end of the village.Huang Wanli knew that Li Shanshan's new house moved into the house today, so he came to the door with his son and gifts.

"Boss Huang, please come inside."

"Congratulations brother, congratulations."

Carriages followed one after another, all heading towards the end of the village.

Academician Qu and several gentlemen from Anlu Academy were invited. Shen Zijing and Su Yuan came in their family's carriage. It was the first time for them to come to Lijia Village.

"Students have met Academician Qu and gentlemen, please come inside." Li Wen didn't expect Academician Qu and gentlemen to give him such face, and everyone came together.As soon as he heard the gentlemen coming, he hurriedly went out to welcome the academicians and the gentlemen to go in together.

There were also Shen Zijing and Su Yuan who came from behind, and took them to the house for a stroll.

When Huang Fukang saw Li Wen, they didn't dare to approach him. Huang Wanli pushed his son from behind and said, "Don't you want to come over to play with Dad? Why don't you say hello to your classmates?"

"Oh, yes, Dad." Fatty Huang mustered up the courage to go up and talk to Li Wen.

"Little Fatty, why do you look fat again?" Shen Zijing stopped bullying Little Fatty a long time ago, and Huang Fukang was still a little afraid of Shen Zijing when he saw him.Li Wen stretched out his hand to push Shen Zijing, and said to Huang Fukang, "Don't pay attention to him, he just talks like this."

He wants to do business with his own father, so he can't bully other people's own son, right?Do you want to continue this business?

When the people of Lijia Village saw so many carriages and important people coming, they really felt that Li Shanshan's family was different from them.

The elders in the clan were shocked when they saw the academicians and gentlemen from Anlu Academy coming.Everyone knew that Li Sanbao was good at studying, but they didn't expect that even the gentlemen of the academy valued him so much.

The kitchen was in full swing, and there was a burst of aroma from the dishes.

"Academicians, gentlemen, please come and sit here." The Li family father and son invited the guests to the table, and Li Wen invited the academicians and several gentlemen to sit at the main table, together with several members of the clan elders.In front of the gentlemen, none of these elders dared to speak.

The people in the village were not polite to the host, and one by one found a place to sit down to eat.

There were ten dishes at the feast that day, five meat dishes and five vegetarian dishes, and several meat dishes were hard dishes. Big bowls of meat were full of oil and water. No one in their village had ever served such a sumptuous wedding banquet. , One by one, the stomachs that come to eat are full of oil and water.

After dinner, Academician Qu and the gentlemen were about to leave. The Li family and his son escorted everyone to the door.

"Sir, please go slowly." Li Wen didn't expect that the gentlemen of the academy would give him face like this. He went to invite the gentlemen two days ago. He thought that the gentlemen were just sending someone here as a gift, but he didn't expect The gentlemen all came in person, which moved him very much.

Huang Wanli also bid farewell to his master with his son, boarded the carriage and went back.

"Zijing, Su Yuan, I have a lot of things going on at home today, so I will invite you to come over and have fun at my house some other day." Li Wen did not leave Shen Zijing and Su Yuan and the others down for the night, and promised to invite them to come to play sometime later. .

"Okay, it's a deal." Shen Zijing pulled Su Yuan into the carriage, and he followed behind, waved to Li Wen outside, and the carriage left.

After eating, the people in the village went back one by one.

"Mother, brother, sister-in-law, we are going home too." At this moment, Li Sanmei and Li Simei are going back too, and they all come to say goodbye to the aunt and sister-in-law.

They still have a long way to go back, and it will be dark if they don't go back.

"Hey, it's better to go back earlier while it's still dark, and come back to play when you have free time some other day," Sun Yi said.

Li Sanmei and Li Simei's family came over with a few mouthfuls, and they were all full of food. When they went back, they carried a lot of things in their hands.Sun Yi, the sister-in-law, was not stingy with the two sister-in-laws, so it would be hard for the two sister-in-laws to go back to their natal homes, and they would go back empty-handed when they left.

Li Wen didn't have too much affection for the two aunts. After all, he had never seen the two aunts several times since he was a child. In the past, the two aunts brought the children over, and the two uncles rarely came together.He saw the bitterness on the faces of the two aunts, and they must not be living well at home.

Seeing the two aunts' house and they were going back, Li Wen also went with his father to see them off.

Some women in the clan stayed to help with the work. There was still a little meat and vegetables left in the kitchen. The weather was so hot that the vegetables would be spoiled tomorrow. Sun Yi told her mother and got her permission , I divided it up for everyone, and asked everyone to take it back and eat it.

So when they went back, everyone went back with things in their hands, and many people said good things about Sun Yi, "Sun Yi is generous, whoever wants a half-happy family, is willing to send such good food to other people's home. "

"Yes, Sun Yi's people are good."

Thinking of the last time the village chief's family had a wedding, they went there from morning to night, and when they returned, they were empty-handed and had nothing.Everyone whispered about Zhu Jinqiao's mother-in-law again, and about Li Xiulin and Li Sanbao. If you compare the two, you can tell which one is better at reading.

"Hmph, she also went out all day and said that her son was ordered by a fortune teller, that it was Wenqu Xing who came down to earth, and I don't know who Wen Quxing came down to earth."

Everyone laughed when they said this.

Li Dahua felt very uncomfortable following behind and listening. Thinking of so many gentlemen coming from her uncle's house, is it true that Li Sanbao is really a Wenqu star?Thinking about it this way, Li Dahua realized that it was a big loss for her to separate the family.

The guests in the house were all gone, and after the house became quiet, the family could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Aniang, you are inconvenient, go wash up and go to bed early." Li Wen saw that his mother had a big belly and had to work all day to be the hardest.Although he didn't ask his mother to do any work, people in the family came and went, and there were many things to do.

"Hey, Madam knows, Sambo also went to bed earlier, Madam went back to the house." Sun Yi stretched out her hands to support her waist, feeling a little unbearable.Li Wen reached out to help his mother, and helped him into the house to rest.

Mrs. Li Wang was getting old, so she went back to the house early to rest.

It was slowly getting dark, and the day passed so quickly.

Lying on his own big bed at night, Li Wen rolled on the bed and said with a smile, "Haha, that's really good." Finally he has his own room and his own big bed!In the future, he won't have to sleep in the same room as his parents.

Lying on the bed and looking outside, Li Wen remembered that his master did not come today, but his master had told him beforehand that he would not come today.

He was just a little curious, is his master hiding from someone?Li Wen thought to himself.

But it doesn't matter, if his master doesn't want to say it, he won't say it. If his master is willing to tell him about him one day, he will listen.It doesn't matter whether his master is a Jianghu Avenue or a wanted criminal by the government, he, Li Sanbao, will never deny his master.

"Ahhh-"

Zhao Si snorted, and he stretched out his hand to rub his nose.

The big black dog raised his eyes and took a look, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lying on his big bed this night, I don’t know if he was too happy in his sleep. In the morning Li Wen rolled up the quilt and got up from the ground. His biological clock woke up at a fixed point. He reached out and grabbed a handful of chicken coops. With a head like head, a little dazed, not knowing where he is.

It took a while to remember that they moved to a new house yesterday, and this is their new home.

"Three treasures."

"Well, Dad, I'm up."

After yawning, Li Wen hurriedly tidied himself up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and followed his dad to the academy to study.
