A good husband and fortune

In this place where literature is more important than business, the only way for ordinary peasant children to become a phoenix is ​​to study hard.

It will be Qiuwei soon. If you passed the Tongsheng exam last year, if you can pass the exam this year as a scholar, then you can be called a gentleman in the future, and your family will no longer have to pay taxes.

Both Lizheng and Zhou Lianxiang took it very seriously, they didn't go there, they were busy working on the road construction, and they both went home to explain some matters in person.

This autumn exam requires a total of three exams, each of which takes three days and takes nine days. Fortunately, it is not so hot now in autumn, otherwise the whole process will be locked in a place only six feet high, eating, drinking, and lassing. Inside, the smell alone is already overwhelming.

"You just need to do your best for this exam, don't put too much psychological pressure and burden on yourself." A few days off, Lin Shi and Lin Yao came back very late, just after dinner Lin Zhi was with them Said, "I arranged for two servants to go with you. When you arrive in the county, find a restaurant to live in. If you need anything, tell the servants to do it. Don't be reluctant to give up money, you know."

"The mentality must be stable. There are three exams in total. If you make a bad plan, for example, the first exam, if we don't perform well, don't be too entangled. Things often happen when the horse stumbles. You must have a good attitude. Whatever the result, you two are our pride."

"Do you remember what your brother Xiaozhi said?" Zhou Lianxiang said that she had high hopes for Lin Yao, but she was not one to push ducks to the shelves. "Take it hard, as long as you are worthy of the sage books you read in your daily life."

"Brother Father, Mother, Grandpa Li, Brother Xiaozhi, Brother Shen, don't worry, Xiaoxiao and I will not let you down."

"Brother, don't worry, I will play well and not do that kind of cheating." Lin Shi also promised Lin Zhi.

"That's fine. You two don't need to study your books when you go to wash up now. Just get a good night's sleep. We'll take you to town the next morning."

"Ah."

The next day, Li Zheng's family of three and Lin Zhi's family all went to Qingshui Town to send Lin Shi and Lin Yao to the county exam. In fact, Zhou Lianxiang was nervous, but she didn't show it.

After seeing off the two radish heads, the group went to Hongfu Restaurant to have lunch before going back.

Since a large number of workers began to recruit workers to build roads, the process of road construction has been accelerated a lot, and the real autumn has come quietly. There is no longer the sultriness of autumn tigers, and the leaves on the trees begin to turn yellow slowly. Falling slowly, with the unique bleakness of autumn.

The lotus leaves in the Linjiagou River also began to wither. After the summer rainy season, the water level in the river also slowly receded, and one after another dried up lotus pods stood upright. The lotus seeds are an important material for making lotus paste fillings. Lin Zhi and Lin An picked lotus seeds in the river with a wooden boat for the past two days.

Everything was running normally on the track. The business of the duck egg factory had been in short supply recently due to the shortage of duck eggs. Then Lin Zhi came up with a method of making preserved eggs.

At the beginning, I didn’t choose to make preserved eggs because the preserved eggs were dark in color and astringent in taste. Lin Zhi was afraid that many people would not be able to accept them, but now the factory can’t stop, so I can only try it.

Because of Lin Zhi's existence, Linjiagou has become the envy of the villages with a radius of hundreds of miles. Many people want to work in the Linjiagou Duck Egg Factory, but now the Linjiagou Duck Egg Factory does not recruit outsiders.

After picking lotus pods for a day, Lin Zhi and Lin An went back. They packed the lotus pods in cloth bags and kept some at home. The servants sent the rest to Hongfu restaurant. Now they are using the material to make lotus paste Pastries are only available in Hongfu Restaurant. People in Qingshui Town must go to Hongfu Restaurant to buy lotus paste cakes.

"By next spring, our pond should be planted with lotus." Lin Zhi said while peeling the lotus seeds.

Lin An lowered his head at the side, with a troubled expression on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Zhi asked him when he found that Lin An's expression was not right.

"It's okay." Lin An shook his head, but he didn't look like a person who was okay.

Lin Zhi put down the material in his hand and said seriously: "What's the matter, I know you so well, you can't lie to me, what happened?"

"No." Lin An knew that he couldn't hide it from Lin Zhi, but he really didn't know how to say it, "I just don't know how to say it."

"What's the matter, tell me first."

"That's right..." Lin An gritted his teeth, sighed and said, "It's my sister's business."

"What's the matter, big sister?" Lin Zhi had an impression of Lin An's sister. She had a very similar personality to Zhou Lianxiang, and she was also a real person. Knowing that Lin Zhi liked to eat fruit, she would bring a portion of Lin Zhi with her every time she went back to her mother's house.

"It's all caused by money. Originally, my sister and my brother-in-law had a very good relationship, but since you brought our village to become rich, my sister and her mother-in-law started to find fault. She wanted my sister to set my parents' words, My sister disagreed, so she started to listen to my brother-in-law, and as time passed, there was a gap between my sister and her brother-in-law."

Lin An said with red eyes: "Yesterday, I don't know why the husband and wife quarreled again. My brother-in-law beat my sister. My sister went back to her mother's house in the middle of the night last night. I wanted to go to my brother-in-law today to argue. My sister stopped me, but my sister still won't let me tell my parents."
