Chapter 37: A Chinese Wandering Soul (4)
In the end, he enjoyed the care of his family with peace of mind, and continued to immerse himself in his exam dream with peace of mind, but let his family who had been working hard become the laughing stock of the big guy because of his ridiculous behavior!
Ning Caichen suddenly realized something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This falling into the water woke up the shadow that he had been reluctant to get out of for many years - admitting that he was not the material for the scientific examination!
This realization is not easy, thinking that he has been researching for many years, he always feels that he is unlucky, and finally once realized that he is not that material, the time is already a little too late.
He can't lift his hands and shoulders, and he's really useless except for reading!
Ning Caichen ate his mother's freshly baked fragrant flatbread, and sighed sadly while eating.
"My son, but the bread that my mother baked today is not delicious?" Seeing his son sighing, Ning Wang couldn't help but ask.
"Definitely. Mother, my son is thinking, how to find a living livelihood, he can't go on the exam like this. Ning Caichen put down the pancakes he had eaten most of in his hand and said.
"You don't have to worry, my son. Although my family is not a rich family, it is enough to support you to study. Don't worry, your dad can still do it for years! Ning Wang persuaded him.
"No, mother. The child has made up his mind. It's time to wake up from the dreams I've had all these years. Tomorrow the child will go to the town to find a job to make a living. Ning Caichen said seriously.
"My son......" Ning Wang was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ning Caichen: "Mother, don't say more." The child really decided. ”
Looking at Ning Caichen with a firm expression, Ning Wang finally sighed and didn't continue to say anything.
Seriously, she also hopes that her son will not continue. But anyone can say this, but she, the mother-in-law, cannot.
After taking the exam for many years, although every time she will persuade her son to make persistent efforts next year, over time, she no longer has any hope in her heart. But looking at her dejected son, her advice was swallowed back before she could say anything.
Now, the son has finally come to his senses.
It's good, it's good.
After all, continuing to take the test like this is not a long-term solution.
In the future, he and his wife are gone, and there will be no one to take care of his son. If he can find a living job now, even if he continues to fail in the future, he will not starve to death on the streets.
So, the villagers of Tonghua Village saw a strange thing.
Ning Caichen, who had to die every time he finished the exam, went to the town in good spirits on the second day after the thirty-first exam.
Many people speculate that maybe the Ning family is going to be developed.
Ning Caichen, who had not been admitted for more than 30 years, was finally admitted.
Soon, the news spread like wings to every corner of Tonghua Village.
Even the flower cat hiding in the house to catch mice lazily stretched out its ears in the direction of the Ning family, as if it would not let go of a minute or a second.
Ning Caichen came to the town and prepared to set up a small stall to write letters for others.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his pen and ink inkstone was put out, he was stopped by a group of tolerances.
"From which village?"
The messenger asked by knocking Ning Caichen's shoulder with the male knife at his waist.
"Tonghua Village." Ning Caichen didn't know why, and replied.
"Is there a certificate?" Tolerance continued to ask.
"What proof?" Ning Caichen was confused.
"Permission to write letters. You can't work without a license. The poor man explained lazily.
"When is this the rule, how do I not know?" Ning Caichen had never encountered the situation of being surrounded by a group of tolerances, and argued with a red face.
"The rules issued in the thirteenth year of Wende. To write letters on behalf of others, you must have a license certified by the government. Of course, there are exceptions for those who have a reputation for reading..... Are you a child? ”
The poor man explained impatiently. Suddenly remembering the exception, his face changed, and he asked Ning Caichen kindly.
Ning Caichen's old face turned red, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing that the people in front of him are in their forties, they haven't even been admitted to the last children. The bad guy who had just improved his attitude immediately collapsed.
"If you don't have a certificate, you can't write letters for others. If there is an emergency and you write it out on your behalf, who is responsible? Therefore, the letter writer must have a certificate before he can work. ”
Tolerance tore off a ticket and unceremoniously stuffed it to the stunned Ning Caichen.
"Operating without a license will result in a fine of 300 yuan. Go to the yamen and pay the money to get the things. ”
After speaking, as soon as he waved his hand, the tolerance around Ning Caichen who had never made a sound confiscated the pen and ink inkstone that Ning Caichen had just moved out.
After collecting the things, the messenger seemed to have another gust of wind.
Ning Caichen wanted to catch up and say goodbye, but he didn't expect that before he could chase half the street, he was so tired that he couldn't breathe.
In the end, I could only watch the poor person who received his pen and ink inkstone and walked away.
Ning Caichen went to the yamen to ask for it, but he was kicked out because he had no money and dared to go to the yamen to ask for something.
In the evening, the depressed Ning Caichen got up from the ground in front of the yamen, dusted off the dust on his clothes, and reluctantly prepared to go home and ask for money to redeem his only brush and inkstone.
On the first day, I seriously prepared for life, and failed!
Ning Caichen drooped his head and walked across the familiar bridge, riding on the bridge with a long sigh because he had no face to go home.
"It's you!" Nie Xiaoqian was about to go to bed, but was attracted by a familiar sigh.
She turned into a cloud of mist and emerged from under the bridge.
Ning Caichen continued to sigh, indifferent to the fog that suddenly appeared in front of him.
The weather in February is still a bit chilly. Sometimes, it is normal for a light mist to form on the surface of the water.
Ning Caichen continued to sigh absentmindedly.
Finally, after the thirty-second sigh, he found Nie Xiaoqian beside him.
By this time, the light had dissipated, and there was a rumbling darkness all around. The cold moonlight hung high in the sky like a piece of cake that had been bitten off.
Nie Xiaoqian went from a cloud of smoke to a materialized person.
Big apricot-like eyes, pale face, melon seed face, and two scars on the head that are missing hair......
Of course, in the end, what made Ning Caichen recognize Nie Xiaoqian were the two crucial scars.
"Miss, why are you sighing with me?" The depressed Ning Caichen ignored the fact that the person in front of him was not a person, and he had the sympathy of the same people in the world.
"When I saw you sigh, I thought it was funny, so I sighed." Nie Xiaoqian said with a grin.
"......" Ning Caichen, who felt that he had been hit by his heart.
"What's wrong with you?" Nie Xiaoqian looked at Ning Caichen's changing face, and asked with concern in front of Ning Caichen's eyes.
"Nothing. I just feel that life is difficult. Ning Caichen said perfunctorily.
The strange feeling that he had just given birth to was also a fallen person at the end of the world, and the moment Nie Xiaoqian thought it was fun, it had long since disappeared. Ning Caichen remembered that the young lady in front of him was not human, so he didn't have the heart to speak.
