Chapter 418
Li Xiu sniffed softly.
Don't look at Chengzu running up and down all day busy doing business, and Xia Geer thinking about this and that all day long, both of them have no free time, Zong'er seems to only want to study in the college quietly, Seems to be the most relaxed guy in the family.
However, only those who live together know how hard he works. He gets up very early to study every day, and he has to study until late at night before going to bed. Regardless of whether he has no rest in winter or summer, the pressure he faces at a young age is not small at all.
"Zong'er is a child with aura." Cheng Wenliu looked at Lin Chengzong's straight back, and he believed that Lin Chengzong would be admitted as a scholar this time.
Waiting for Lin Chengzong to enter the gate of the examination room, the Lin family and Cheng Wenliu who were waiting outside left together.
Three days does not seem to be a long time, but it is a bit difficult for those waiting, especially Li Xiu, who is worried that Lin Chengzong will not take care of himself and catch cold, and he is also worried that he will be hit because of his poor performance in the examination room.
Finally, when the exam was over, Li Xiu took the rice cakes and millet balls to the teahouse outside the exam room at noon.
With experience this time, Li Xiu booked a private room on the second floor early, paid double the money and chose a seat by the window, where she could see the entrance of the examination room at a glance.
Only the restless Li Xiu was outside alone with the two children. Lin Xiazhi was worried, so he handed the little bun to Cheng Fulang, and came out to find Li Xiu to pick up Lin Chengzong together.
Cheng Fulang knew that today was the end of the county examination. He had waited in the same way at the gate of the county examination room during Cheng Wenliu's examination before. He understood Li Xiu's mood, so he took the initiative to take Xiao Baozi and Lin Xiazhi to go there together. It passed in one afternoon.
Sure enough, with Cheng Fulang and Li Xiu looking better, the three adults and three children were talking, and it didn't seem long before they heard three long bells coming from the examination room.
Li Xiu suddenly realized that Lin Chengzong was about to come out after the exam.
Zhao Nan is Lin Chengzong's bookboy, and he ran downstairs before his master ordered him: "Fulang, Cheng Fulang, Young Fulang, I'll go to the entrance of the examination room to pick up the young master."
Three bells sounded to indicate that the examinee stopped writing and could not write any more questions, and there was still a short period of time before the examinee came out of the examination room.
Cheng Fulang looked at Li Xiu fidgeting and teased him: "Brother Xiu, this is the exam, you are so nervous, you will be fine when the results are announced."
"It's different, it's not the same." Li Xiu didn't care so much about whether his son could pass the examination of scholar, he was worried about his child's health.
Cheng Fulang shook his head and remained silent. He was the same at the beginning, and he felt that it didn't matter what his grades were, but he still felt nervous when the results were announced.
The three children seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, and even the most lively Xiaomi Tuan calmed down.
Their positions can directly see the entrance of the examination room. Li Xiu saw Zhao Nan rushing left and right in the crowd and soon arrived at the entrance of the examination room.
After about a quarter of an hour or maybe not that long, the door of the examination room opened, and candidates came out one after another.
In addition to the examinees who came out, there were also some who were helped out by officials. I don't know what they went through inside, and they looked weak.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiu's heart rose.
"If you look like this, you probably don't know how to make a fire, and you have diarrhea after eating raw and cold food in the examination room." Cheng Fulang has experience.
Hearing Cheng Fulang's explanation, Li Xiu felt relieved, her child must have no problem lighting a fire.
Some candidates became stupid as soon as they left the examination room, standing at the entrance of the examination room and laughing or crying loudly.
The people who picked up people in the past and those who came out of the examination room surrounded the entrance of the examination room tightly, and the scene was in chaos.
Li Xiu's eyes were fixed on the entrance of the examination room without relaxing for a moment, until he saw a sapphire blue figure, and he stood up abruptly.
The person running out wearing royal blue is none other than Lin Chengzong. From a distance, his condition is not bad.
Zhao Nan greeted him the moment he appeared: "Young master, young master, it's too messy here, let's go to the teahouse first."
"Ah, are they in the tea house?" Lin Chengzong handed the basket in his hand to Zhao Nan.
"In addition to Fulang, there are Young Fulang and Cheng Fulang, as well as Fourth Young Master, Young Master Sun, and Young Master Cousin." Zhao Nan told everyone who was in the teahouse.
"Then let's go there quickly." Lin Chengzong was locked in a small room for three days, eager to see his relatives.
There were quite a lot of people at the entrance of the examination room. Lin Chengzong met a few classmates on the way to the teahouse. They looked at Lin Chengzong who was in good spirits and were a little envious. They couldn't help talking to him a few more words and made an appointment for two days. Get together.
Lin Chengzong agreed, mainly because he heard from his classmates that the party was hosted by the teacher, and he wanted to hear the teacher's comments on the imperial examination.
Because it took some time on the road, it took a long time for Lin Chengzong and Zhao Nan to arrive at the teahouse.
After entering the room, Lin Chengzong greeted people first, seeing his appearance, Lin Xiazhi felt relieved.
Li Xiu thought differently. He looked at Lin Chengzong, who was more haggard than before, and felt very distressed: "I lost weight."
After speaking, he glanced at the basket Zhao Nan was carrying. There was a basket full of fried noodles, dried meat, kimchi and sweet-scented osmanthus honey before, but now there is still half of the food left uneaten.
Li Xiu couldn't help asking: "Zong'er, didn't you eat well in the examination room?"
"Don't worry, I have something to eat. These are leftovers." Lin Chengzong pulled Li Xiu to sit down, telling Li Xiu not to be nervous.
In fact, Lin Xiazhi didn't feel that his younger brother had lost weight, but thought that he might have a bad face because he didn't sleep well these two days: "Look at the other candidates, and then look at our Zong'er. He looks better than those people." It's much better, so don't worry."
"Young people are in good health. If you go back home, eat two more meals and sleep well to make up your body. Let's choose a road with fewer people and go first, otherwise everyone will think about leaving later, and if you want to go out, you will still be able to recover." It's not easy." Cheng Fulang also persuaded.
"Yes, yes, let's go back first. Yusheng has cooked a lot of delicious food, my in-laws, why don't you and your in-law's father come over to eat too?" Li Xiu thought about the crowds and lively dinner, and warmly invited Cheng Fulang and Cheng's father I also went to Lin's house for dinner.
"Okay, I've missed Yu Sheng's cooking skills for a long time, and I won't miss his rare cooking." Cheng Fulang agreed without hesitation.
Sure enough, as Cheng Fulang expected, just after they left, several roads outside the examination room were blocked. Li Xiu also heard someone calling the carriage in front to hurry up, and felt lucky for a while.
Back at Lin’s house, everyone smelled the aroma of vegetables when they entered the door, which made Li Xiu, who hadn’t eaten much at noon, suddenly feel hungry. He thought that Lin Chengzong didn’t eat much, so he quickly brought a plate of pastries for Lin Chengzong to eat first. mouth.
Lin Chengzong didn't feel hungry, he thought that Ah would be worried if he didn't eat, so he picked up a piece and took a bite.
After chewing a few times, Lin Chengzong's face suddenly changed: "Ah, I still have to stop eating beforehand."
After speaking, he clutched his stomach and rushed to the backyard.
Li Xiu was frightened by his startled appearance: "What's the matter?"
Lin Xiazhi probably understood what was going on and laughed.
Li Xiu was in a hurry: "Brother Xia, you still have the heart to laugh, go and see what's going on with your brother!"
Seeing that Li Xiu was really in a hurry, Lin Xiazhi said shit that he couldn't understand.
After hearing these words, Li Xiu showed embarrassment. The examiners asked too strangely. No wonder Zong'er only ate half of the basket of food. It turned out that he was worried about being poked with shit.
Although Cheng Fulang experienced his son taking part in the county examination once, he didn't know about the poop poking, and Lin Xiazhi was surprised and a little disgusted when he heard about it.
When Lin Chengzong came back again, Li Xiu and Cheng Fulang didn't mention this again, they had already talked about other things.
After agreeing to have dinner at Lin's house, Cheng Fulang sent someone to tell Mrs. Cheng to come directly to Mrs. Lin's house later, and also informed the family that there is no need to prepare meals.
As for Cheng Wenliu, he already knew that he would have dinner at Lin's house today, so he didn't need to send someone to tell him.
Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu came back from the village in a hurry. They could have been earlier, but there was a big order that Lin Chengzu had to call the shots, so they were delayed for a while.
Yang Yusheng fulfilled his promise, and personally cooked a large table full of Lin Chengzong's favorite dishes, which made Lin Chengzong, who had been choking on his appetite for food for three consecutive days, very satisfied.
The county exam was over, and everyone didn't want to put pressure on Lin Chengzong before the results came out, so they didn't mention the county exam at the dinner table.
After dinner, Cheng Fulang and others left Lin's house and returned to Cheng's house.
Tomorrow everyone will go to Lin's house for dinner again, because tomorrow happens to be Xiaonian Gao's two-year-old birthday.
Xiao Nian Gao is two years old, he doesn't understand what being two years old means, but he knows that after his birthday, there will be delicious food, and he will collect fun ones.
So when Li Xiu told him that it was his birthday, Xiao Nian Gao was much happier and drank half a bowl of milk.
Since this birthday coincided with the end of Lin Chengzong's county examination, everyone lived in the county without going back to the village.
The children's birthday is simple, just have a meal together as a family, the Li family also came, and there are two tables full of people.
Sure enough, as Xiao Nian Gao understood, everyone prepared a lot of gifts for him.
What Lin Xiazhi gave was a small wooden horse, the bottom was made into an arc, and it wobbled on it, and the little rice cake liked it very much.
In addition to presents, Yang Yusheng also made several kinds of delicious small rice cakes, and the small rice cakes were very happy all day long.
After dinner, Lin Huzi pulled Lin Xiazhi aside and talked to him about Tuanxi Mountain: "Xia Geer, the fruit trees on the mountain are blooming. I went up the mountain to have a look, and many branches are blooming with flower buds. Look at you. When are you going back to the village?"
This year is the first year of grafting. Lin Xiazhi doesn't expect the newly grafted branches to bear edible fruits. As long as they can bloom, it is considered a success. As for how many flowers bloom and how many fruits they bear, he doesn't care.
Counting the days, it has been a long time since I went back to the village. Lin Xiazhi promised Lin Huzi to go back to the village to look at the fruit trees on Tuanxi Mountain.
