Lucky husband

After crying, Li Caoye came out of his parents' room, saw his younger brother and siblings lying on the ground without touching anything on the ground, ignored them, calmed down and went to the uncle's house next door to fetch brother Qiu back.

Granny Li watched Li Caoye walk into the yard, and asked, "Caoye, is the matter settled?"

"Well, it's resolved." Li Caoye nodded, "Auntie, we have also separated, and my parents will take care of me."

Li Caoye spoke calmly, but both Mrs. Li and Jiang Zhiyun were startled. Jiang Zhiyun, who was holding a needle in her hand, couldn't control one of them, and she pricked her finger, bleeding profusely.

Mrs. Li didn't expect Erye Li to be so courageous, so she just separated from the family and chose to follow her daughter. Various thoughts went around in her heart, and finally she sighed with a complicated expression: "It's fine if you split up, you Take the child and follow your parents to have a good time, life is made by people, and it will always get better and better."

"Thank you, auntie." Li Caoye solemnly thanked Mrs. Li, and then took Li Qiusheng back.

Li Mingjin was listening just now. Having experienced a family separation once, he knew what a family separation meant. After Li Caoye and Li Qiusheng left, he asked, "Grandma, is it true that my cousin won't do it after a family separation?" Wronged?"

"Probably, the family is separated, and they no longer live under the same roof. There should be no more conflicts." Mrs. Li put down the sewing basket in her hand, and went to the room to tell her old man about it.

The separation of the family is easy to say, but it actually hurt the head of the family a bit. Mrs. Li asked the old man to talk to Second Master Li later, so as to relieve the distress in Second Master Li's heart.

Now it is the slack season, and the story of Li Erye's family quickly spread in the village. Few people knew what happened that morning, but after the old couple separated, they did not follow their son and daughter, but let the villagers see It's strange.

Li Erye pretended not to hear anything, but when the two brothers Li Chengdi and Li Chengliang were asked about it, they would feel a little uncomfortable. No matter how others asked, they would not say what happened at home.

Not saying it doesn’t mean others won’t guess. The ancestor’s rule is that parents don’t separate their families. Separating families is already enough for Li Chengdi and Li Chengliang brothers to be pointed at by others in the village. Following the eldest daughter, anyone with a brain would guess that something must have happened at Li Erye's house. It is very likely that the two brothers had a conflict with the eldest sister who returned home, which made the parents angry.

The big guy's eyes and comments made the Li Chengdi and Li Chengliang brothers feel uncomfortable and ashamed. They were really wrong about this matter and could not argue with others.

The people in the village were enthusiastically discussing the matter when it first happened. When the end of January and the spring plowing in February were about to start, everyone was not in the mood to discuss the matter of Li Erye's family, and started wandering around their own fields.

You know, last year experienced a drought, and the soil in every household seemed a little lacking in fertility. If you don't pay attention to the fields this year, maybe this year's harvest will be much smaller than in previous years.

Old man Li approached his eldest son to discuss farming in advance: "Cheng Zhi, what are you going to do with the rice noodle stall this year's spring plowing?"

For farmers, spring plowing is not a trivial matter, and there is no delay at all. If the grain produced in the field cannot fill the stomach, what is the use of earning more money.

"Xiuhe and I have thought about it, temporarily suspending the business of fish soup and rice noodles." Li Chengzhi had already discussed with Bai Xiuhe, "Except for grass leaves, we can't think of anyone else who can help us temporarily."

Instead of finding a worried person to do things in order to maintain the two flavors of rice noodles, it is better to only make one flavor of rice noodles like last year. Anyway, the reputation of Lijia rice noodles has been spread now, and many people in the county eat rice noodles. Willing to stop by their booth.

Old man Li doesn't care about the rice noodle stall, he doesn't interfere in those things: "Okay, as long as you have arrangements."

"Father, why don't we rent a cow earlier this year to help plow the land?" After talking about the rice noodle stall, Li Chengzhi talked about the busy work in the field, "Last year the field was dry for a long time, and the mud in the paddy field was hardened Quite a few, it all depends on whether we dug deep enough or not.”

"Well, I've thought about it too, most of you have this idea this year..."

After the father and son finished their discussion, Li Chengzhi took the copper coin and went to borrow cattle from a familiar family with cattle.

Borrowing a cow during the spring plowing period costs ten copper coins a day. Not only do you have to give money to the owner of the cow, but you also need to take good care of the cow, eat and drink enough, and not be too tired.

Because the Li family went to borrow cattle earlier, they successfully borrowed cattle. The time was set to start on the sixth day of February, a total of three days.

Now, the old man Li and the old lady Li have four acres, Li Chengzhi has three acres, and Li Chengshi has one more. There are a total of eight acres of paddy fields. In three days, with the help of cattle, the land can be turned over twice.

Spring plowing began in February, and everyone in the village began to get busy. This year, God took special care of the people. It began to rain continuously in early February. The rain was not heavy, but it was enough to moisten the fields and prepare for the next rice planting.

Together with Chun Geng, there was also this year's child birth test. Zhao Chengze, the magistrate of the county, set the time for the child birth test on February [-]th.

Brothers Li Mingde and Li Mingli returned to the county school after their annual leave, and did not return to Li's house until the tenth day of February.

Since the tenth day of the lunar new year, Bai Xiuhe hasn't gone out to set up a stall. Her two sons are going to take part in the childbirth examination, and she is thinking about the children in her heart. How can she still be in the mood to sell rice noodles.

Whether it was the Bai family or the Li family, there were no serious scholars in the family. Bai Xiuhe was very nervous. On the afternoon of the tenth day alone, she asked Jiang Zhiyun several times about the method of the childbirth test.

In fact, when Li Chengshi was on vacation during the Chinese New Year, he had already talked about the process of the childbirth examination several times at home, but Bai Xiuhe always felt that she hadn't remembered it.

Jiang Zhiyun told her what Li Chengshi and Jiang Yuzhi had told her several times, and when Li Mingde and Li Mingli came back, they also told what the teacher in the school had explained, and finally made Bai Xiuhe feel more at ease.

Early in the morning on February [-]th, Li Mingde and Li Mingli took the confession letter provided by the village head Bai and the affidavit letter from Jiang Yuzhi, and they came to the county government office under the leadership of Li Chengzhi to sign up for this competition. Children's test.

The content of the personal confession is the most, including the candidate's name, place of origin, age, physique, appearance characteristics, and the names of the three generations of grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother. Whether innocent.

The affidavit is the guarantee material provided by the county student to ensure that the candidate's information is true and that there is no impostor, etc. If something happens to the candidate, the guarantor student will also be implicated.

In the Dayu Dynasty, 癝生 refers to the first-class scholars. Except for the first-class scholars who passed the examination that year, the rest of the scholars have to participate in the annual examination every three years. The annual examination is presided over by the county magistrate. During the year, students are given six buckets of rice every month and four taels of silver per year.

Only junior students are eligible to sponsor students who are not junior students to participate in the junior exams. Jiang Yuzhi basically ranks in the top [-] every year in the exams, so he can sponsor students every year.

In addition to these two documents, there must also be a joint letter, which requires five candidates to testify and testify against each other. Li Mingde and Li Mingli had already found three classmates who were close to each other when they were in the county school.

There were quite a few students who signed up for the children's examination, some from schools in the county town, and some from private schools in various villages and towns. Students from the Li family came to line up early in the morning, and they didn't successfully register until almost noon.

Li Mingde and Li Mingli were mentally prepared for the registration of the Tongsheng Examination. Their classmates had already participated in it. When they talked about it, they told them not to talk to other people who participated in the Tongsheng Examination, so as not to be affected. .

Li Chengzhi wiped the sweat that was squeezed out: "It's not easy, let's reserve the room now, and come to the county seat tomorrow afternoon, so as not to rush over the morning after tomorrow and forget things in a hurry."

They signed up fairly quickly, and there was Li Chengshi, the head of the county government officer, who was in charge of registration. The officer in charge of registration was very polite to the three of Li's father and son, not like yelling at others at every turn.

However, Li Chengshi was not in the county government at this time, and his two nephews were going to take part in the childbirth test. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not participate in the preparations for the childbirth test, and was sent by Zhao Chengze to the villages and towns in Changping County to check on the situation of spring farming.

After the registration was completed and the guest room was booked, Li Chengzhi took his two brothers home. Everyone was quiet at night, worried that it would affect the sleep of the two students of Li's family.

It was on this quiet night that Li Mingjin had a dream.

He dreamed that there would be a strong wind tomorrow night. His uncle and his two brothers were in the inn in the county seat. The windows were not closed tightly before going to bed. A cool breeze was already swirling around the house.

The weather in February was still very cold, and there was a cold wind at night. When they woke up the next day, both Li Mingde and Li Mingli were in a bad state, looking groggy and listless.

By the time the two of them entered the examination room, they had already started sneezing and running noses.

Li Mingjin didn't dream about what happened after entering the examination room, but he knew that his two elder brothers were ill, which would definitely affect their performance in the children's examination.

After sitting up from the bed and rubbing his eyes, Li Mingjin quickly got dressed, ran to find Jiang Zhiyun, and told him about his dream.

In Li’s house, apart from Li Chengshi, no one knows better than Jiang Zhiyun what the children’s exam is like. Once you get sick and have a fever, let alone get a good grade in the exam, you are not sure whether you can persist until the end of the exam. After all, the weather is still cold now. It takes one day to stay in the examination room.

Jiang Zhiyun's heart was pounding, she didn't dare to delay, she went to Old Madam Li anxiously, leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Granny Li's heart tightened after hearing this, but she soon relaxed again. Now that things haven't happened yet, since Brother Jin has let her know about the dream, she can't make the dream come true.
