The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Village head Li Mao supported his old father, and hurried over with Li Zheng, the head of the clan, and the elders of the clan. The seventh uncle is now in his seventies, and this age can be regarded as the longest-lived old man in the village up.

Seeing Uncle Qi coming out supported by the village head, Li Wen stepped forward quickly, reached out to hold the old man's hand, and called out affectionately, "Uncle Seven."

"Hey, it's the Three Treasures, it's the Three Treasures that have come back, it's the No. [-] man from our Li Family Village who's back, Caomin..." When Uncle Seven sees their No. [-] man has returned, he will bow down to the No. [-] man.

"Seventh Uncle, it's the Three Treasures who have returned. Seventh Uncle doesn't need to be too polite." Li Wen supported the old man and prevented the old man from saluting him. He looked at the village chief and Li Zheng and others, and greeted them one by one, saying, "There is only Li Sanbao here. I hope that the seventh uncle and the third grandpa, as well as the uncles and aunts and aunts in the village, will treat Sanbao as before. You are all relatives and elders of Sanbao. Courtesy is empty, and Sanbao still hopes It’s good to be able to be as close as a family with everyone like before.”

He still remembers pulling the seventh uncle's beard when he was young, and now the old man is still alive to see his high school champion come back, and these uncles and aunts and aunts in the village are all elders who watched him grow up, Li Wen never forgot the place where he was raised, and the relatives and elders who watched him grow up.

Etiquette is for others to see, here are only his relatives and elders, in front of these relatives and elders, he will always be Li Sanbao, a child who grew up in the Li family village, a junior.So even if the number one scholar in high school came back today, to Li Wen, it was just that he came back to his hometown to visit his family and relatives and elders, not to put on his official airs.

Only the juniors saluted the elders, and no elders saluted the juniors. Whether it was his high school champion today, or his entry into the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, when he came back here, Li Wen was just an ordinary villager in Lijia Village.

"Yes." Village head Li Mao nodded yes, Li Mao supported his old father, so everyone didn't have to salute Zhuangyuanlang.

"Father, let's go back." Li Wen put his hand on Li Haopeng's shoulder, and reached out to pat the boy's head.Li Haopeng was comforted by his brother, and rubbed his head against his brother's hand like a puppy. The child raised his head and looked at his brother shyly.

Li Wen remembered that in the year when he took the college entrance exam, his aunt's younger brother, after passing the college exam, went to Nanyang to study, and it has been so many years since he went there.

Before he knew it, so many years had passed in the blink of an eye, and his brother had grown up to this age.

Fortunately, no matter how often he comes home, this younger brother always remembers his elder brother and is very close to him. Li Wen also likes this young younger brother very much, but the two brothers spend a lot of time together these years. less.

"Yes, let's go back first." Seeing that he was so happy to see his son, he even forgot to let his son go home first. Li Shanshan came to his senses and hurriedly let the child go home first, knowing that the child came back from such a long distance. , must be tired.

Li Wen turned around and said to Zhao Xiangyi in a low voice, "Brother Zhao, you go to my house first, let's go back and have a meal first, and then we will see how to arrange the place for everyone to live in later."

Zhao Xiangyi nodded and had no objection to this.

Everyone went to the Li family compound at the end of the village, Li Wen and his father Li Shanshan walked in front, Zhao Xiangyi followed Li Wen, the village head Li Mao supported the seventh uncle, Li was with the patriarch and the elders of the clan Follow in the past, followed by the villagers of Lijia Village.

The man in charge of guarding the gate behind closed the village gate.

"Mother, you go slowly." Sun Yi was helping her mother who had a bad leg and hurried outside.Over the past few years, Li Wang's legs and feet have become worse and worse, and he can't walk very well, so he walks very slowly, so they fall behind.

Li Wen was walking home with his father and everyone, and saw his mother and grandma from a distance.

"Auntie, Auntie!" The two people came forward, and Li Wen saw his Auntie and grandma at a glance, and shouted.

"It's the Three Treasures, it's the Three Treasures that have returned." Seeing the grandson who had returned, Mrs. Li said, holding his daughter-in-law's hand vigorously.Seeing her son who came back, Sun Yi's tears just fell down like this, she looked at her son without blinking, and nodded in response to her mother-in-law, "Mother, yes, it's Sambo who's back, back..."

It was her Ah'er who came back...

"Grandma, grandma, I'm back." Li Wen went forward and held the hands of grandma and grandma. Seeing his grandma and grandma's eyes were red, and his nose was a little sore, he said, "Grandma, Grandma, you all shed tears of joy when you saw me come back."

"Look at A Niang, it's A Niang who is so happy to see Ah'er come back." Her son came back with the No. , She has become the champion's wife.

Seeing her son come back, Sun Yi was happy, but at the same time she was very touched and excited, tears fell down uncontrollably.

"Let's go home, Ah'er is hungry, and Ah Niang will cook something delicious for you when I go back." Sun Yi wiped away her tears and said with a embarrassed smile.

"Well, I'm a little hungry. It's been a long time since I tasted A Niang's cooking. My son always misses A Niang's cooking when I'm away." Li Wen said with a smile.Sun Yi looked at her son with red eyes, and said, "Okay, when I go back, Auntie will cook some more dishes for Sanbao."

They knew that their son would come back soon, but they didn't know the exact date.

Li Shanshan would go to the pier every day, leaving someone to wait there, and he would not leave until the sun went down every day.It happened that Li Wen came back a little late, so he missed the person his father sent to pick him up.

Sun Yi didn't know that her son would come back at this time, so she didn't prepare food for her son in advance.But they know that their son will come back soon, so they have always prepared a lot of food at home, and it will be ready when they go back later.

"Aniang, don't bother too much. We have a lot of people. You can just cook some noodles and some meat to fill your stomach." There are more than 20 people in their group. on the line.

"How can this be done?" Sun Yi disagreed when she heard this, and said, "Don't worry, Sanbao, Auntie can cook some dishes for you. It doesn't take too much time, and it will be done in a while."

"That's right, I have to cook, I have to cook some good dishes." Mrs. Li has always loved her grandson very much, and she can't wait to present all the good things in front of her grandson.

This grandson has been sensible since he was a child, and he can read. Mrs. Li Wang never dreamed that her grandson would be admitted to the first prize. Hearing the news that her grandson was admitted to the top prize, the old lady was so happy that she woke up from her dreams for several nights.

"Aniang, let's go back and discuss this issue first." Li Wen reached out to support his grandma's hand, and said to the old lady, "Grandma, let me and Aniang help you go back together."

Li Wen knew that his grandma's legs and feet were not very good in recent years, and it was some old problems left over from the past. At this age, it is inevitable that the old man will have some physical ailments.He knew that his grandma's life was hard when she was young, but fortunately, their family's life has improved these years, and the old lady can enjoy a few days of happiness.

He has been studying abroad for the past few years, and he only comes back once a year. Seeing the old man grow old year after year, even though he knows that birth, old age, sickness and death are natural, Li Wen still feels a little sad about it.

"Let's go back and ask your mother to cook some delicious dishes for Sanbao." Mrs. Li let her grandson support her, with a smile on her face.

"Okay 0" Li Wen nodded with a smile. His grandmother loved him the most when he was a child. When he was a child, there were many poor people in his family and there was good food in the family. His grandmother always thought of him as a grandson.Later, life at home got better, and the old lady still thought about him as a grandson if there was something good in the house.

Li Wen remembered the old lady's kindness to him. This was the grandmother who loved him the most. Li Wen only hoped that the old lady would be in good health and live a long life, so that he could be filial to the old lady for a few more years.He just thought that he would go to the capital to be an official in the future, and he might not have much time to be filial in front of the old lady, so he sighed a little in his heart.

A group of people walked towards the Li family compound, Li Wen and his mother walked in front with the help of grandma, Li Shanshan followed behind his wife, followed by everyone.

Back home, Li Wen helped the old lady sit down on the main seat in the main hall.

"Everyone, please sit down." Li Shanshan led the village head and clan elders into the main hall, and invited everyone to sit down.Sun Yi went over to her husband and said, "Husband, you are here to greet everyone, I will go to the kitchen to make some dishes for Sanbao and the others to eat later.,,

"Well, let's go, cook a few more dishes, Sanbao and the others have a lot of people." Li Shanshan nodded and said.Sun Yi nodded, said "Understood", and took Du Qiulan out to the kitchen. The women who followed her from the village saw her and went to help.

There were guests at home, and Li Shanshan was busy greeting everyone, it was hard for Li Wen to leave at this moment, so he could only talk with everyone here for a while.

It wasn't until the sun went down and it was getting dark that the guests at home left one by one.

Xie Yunfei followed Zhao Xiangyi. He saw people in Li Liuyuan's family coming in and out. Both Li Liuyuan and his son smiled at everyone, showing no airs at all.On the way in just now, he could see that this Lijia Village was an unusual place. The village was full of green brick and tile houses, and the roads were spacious and clean.

From the faces of the villagers here, it can be seen that they live a life of prosperity and happiness, and from their faces, there is no trace of misery oppressed by life.Even the people in a few villages near the capital did not live as well as the villagers here, which made him feel a little puzzled.

But Xie Yunfei knew that all these things in this village were probably related to Li Liuyuan.
