"The dowry is secondary, the important thing is to be good to the girl, my biggest regret is that there is no girl, they are all a group of stinky boys!" Lin said happily, and was also happy for Li Ruyi, she has no daughters, and she likes several little girls of the Li family very much!

"Yes, we just thought so, just to see that Shijie is a child, but I didn't expect that you said that you would send so many dowry gifts! But in this way, if you marry us, you can rest assured! Hu sat on the stool and talked with the visitor, and he was also satisfied with Liu Shijie in and out of words!

"We really envy your family, the relationship between mother-in-law and sister-in-law is so good!" The onlookers looked at the Li family happily, thinking about their own bad things, and their tone couldn't help but be sour! Look at the thirty people of the Hu family, they are not bloated when they are pregnant, their skin is white and red, and they are carefully raised at a glance, I really envy the dead!

And Liu Shijie, who came home, just looked at the red marriage book in his hand, thinking that the girl would go home next year for herself, full of strength, working more energetically, watering on the mountain, cultivating at home, and eager to work for twelve hours a day!

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed!

"Grandpa, we don't have to go to school from tomorrow, the master has given us a holiday, let us prepare for the county exam and take the exam!" As soon as they came back that afternoon, Li Yujin and his brothers reported the good news to their families!

"Okay, hey, what are we going to prepare? Jin'er, what do you want to bring? As soon as they heard the news, not only Niu's, but also Hu and Zhou's, the two pregnant women, stood up. As if you were going to leave in the next moment, you have to prepare something!

"Grandma, mother. Auntie, don't need too much, just have a few changes of clothes, and a few of us will prepare books! Li Yujin saw that his family was about to work for himself, and hurriedly stopped him, his mother and third aunt were still pregnant with younger brothers and sisters!

"That's it, mother. I'll prepare the food, you just take care of your little brother! "Li Hui is helping on the side!

"Grandpa, let's pack up and go to the county in advance. Brothers can adapt to the environment in advance, or it would be a pity if you don't rush in case you don't feel well! Li Hui suggested that going in advance not only recognize the road in advance, but also familiarize yourself with the candidates who took the exam together!

"Done. You guys will clean up in the next two days. It's also convenient to clean up our yard in the county and live in it directly! Li Qingshan thought about it, it was also such a courtesy!

"Old man, what are we going to prepare for the children? Jin'er, what do you say, grandma will prepare for you! Niu Shi had been thinking about what to prepare in his heart for a long time, at this moment. Hearing the exact news from his grandchildren, Niu couldn't sit still!

"Grandma. Don't worry, there are still two days, it's getting dark, let's prepare tomorrow during the day! Li Yujin's brothers looked at the whole family eager to try, and they were very helpless!

"Old woman, hurry up and eat, prepare things tomorrow, anyway, there are still ten days, or live in your own house, everything is convenient!" Li Qingshan knocked on the cigarette pouch, or he was the most calm!

This night, several women in the family didn't sleep well, and from time to time they thought about what they wanted to prepare, and when they thought of a leak, their hearts were excited!

Early the next morning, the Hu family got up early to direct Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu to prepare for food, and then couldn't help but do it themselves! In the afternoon, Hu and Li hurriedly prepared a change of clothes for their sons. There are also several sets of shoes and socks that are being made these days!

Stacked on top of each other, Hu couldn't help crying, in the blink of an eye, the children are all older, they are going to go out to study, maybe they will go further in the future! I don't know if it's because of pregnancy, Hu is particularly emotional at this time!

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing, why are you still crying?" When Li entered Hu's room, he saw Hu sitting on the bed wiping his tears!

"Huh, brother and sister, you're here, it's okay, it's just that I can't help it when I think the children are going to go far away!" Hu wiped a handful of tears and beckoned Li Hui to sit down!

"Sister-in-law, it's not far away, it's in the county, and I'll be back in a few days! You can't be so sad, and the little doll! Li is not so sad, she can see more than Hu, on the contrary, she is very happy, it would be better if her son could pass the exam!

"yes, I've thought about it too much, by the way, what's the matter with you? Is everything packed? ”

"Almost, let's see if you've cleaned up, let's see if there's anything left behind!" Li Shi saw that Hu Shi was not so sad, and began to compare with Hu Shi in the same way!

Here, the Li Yujin brothers are also packing up their books, except for the books they want to read in the past two days, the others are neatly packed into the rattan box! After tidying up, continue to read in the study!

It has been discussed a long time ago, Li Anfu took a few children to go during the exam, and Li Hui and Li Xiu went to cook for a few people together!

In the village, not only the children of the Li family are studying, but also Li Mingliang and Li Mingjun of Li Dagui's family, as well as Li Liang of Li Dahai's family, Li Dabao and Li Erbao of Li Dashu's family, a total of eight people who want to participate in the scientific expedition, have made an appointment to set off together!

In addition, the Li family accompanied the people in the past, a total of eleven, and this ox cart could not sit down, fortunately, Li Dagui's family also had cattle, and it was discussed early, the Li family had a house in the county, and there were many rooms, so they invited the children of several other families to live together!

Of course, Li Dagui, Li Dashu and Li Dahai were very grateful, and the Li family had an adult to accompany them, so they handed over the children to Li Anfu and troubled him to take care of them!

Li Anfu did not disagree, the men of these families are now important talents in the Li family's brick kiln, and they are all doing work that no one can do, so it is natural to take care of it more!

"Dad, mother, I left with the children and set off!" Li Anfu sat on the wheel of the car and said to the family members who came to see him off!

"Cheng, you guys go, be careful on the road, and report safety if you can carry a letter!" Li Qingshan was the leader, and more than a dozen people from the Li family stood behind, watching them!

"Liangzi, Junzi, go to the county and listen to your Uncle Anfu, don't run around, this is the silver for you, pack it up, don't lose it, and don't let your Uncle Anfu buy things!" Lin once again explained to the two boys in the family!

"Got it, mother. Don't worry! Li Mingliang simply agreed, repeatedly promising that he would take good care of his younger brother!

The other two families have also repeatedly explained to their children that they should not run away for the first time. Don't be alone, take the exam well, anyway, it's a few words over and over again, and thank Li Anfu again and again!

Today, it is not only the family members of the candidates who came to see them off, but also many people in the village who came to see off the guests, which has not been a grand occasion for many years, regardless of the result. This year, Lijia Village has the most candidates!

watched the group walk farther and farther away, until it turned into a black dot and gradually became invisible. Everyone reluctantly turned around and went home, these teenagers are destined to go further and further on the bright road to the future!

In the afternoon, the group arrived at the county seat, and Li Hui and Li Xiu showed the way. The bullock cart stopped in front of the Li family's yard. Pull out the key, squeak, and the door is opened!

At first glance, it is a good courtyard, but it has not been inhabited for a long time, and the yard is full of fallen leaves!

"It's here, Daddy, brother. Get out of the car! "Li Hui and Li Xiu have been here, and they are very familiar with the distribution in the yard! There are a lot of courtyard rooms in the second entrance!

"Hey. Let's take things down first! "Li Anfu drove the ox cart into the yard!

"Dad, don't move it first, move it later, clean it up, or there will be no place to put it!" Li Hui and Li Xiu had already opened a few rooms to look, and the tables inside were covered with a thick layer of dust! If you don't clean up, you can't live in people!

"Okay, dad will clean up with you!" Li Anfu was stunned, he didn't notice! As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it!

"Uncle Anfu, let's clean up with you!" Seeing this, a few peasant boys in the back also came to help!

"Oh, you don't need to, don't you still have to study, I'll just come!" Li Anfu was afraid that it would affect everyone's reading, so he didn't let him say anything!

But a few children don't agree with anything, they are all peasant children, and they are very neat at work, besides, learning is not bad for a while, this is also where they want to live in the next ten days, and a few teenagers are particularly sensible to help!

When I first came here, I didn't clean up at home, I didn't prepare anything for food, clothing, and housing, and I didn't bring a mattress quilt when I came, Li Hui and Li Xiu found that the bed was there when they looked at the room, but the quilt and mattress were not, Li Hui and Li Xiu said to Li Anfu, and the two of them went to the street!

It's half an afternoon, there are a lot of things to buy, and Li Hui and Li Xiu don't have time to hang out, they all go straight to their destinations!

"Boss, do you have a mattress and quilt here?" I don't have time to make it fresh, Li Hui knows that most of the quilts here are made by herself, and there are not many ready-made ones to sell, so I have to ask first!

"Girl, there are a few beds here, come and see!" The boss led the two little girls to the back hall, which is not very easy to sell, and the front is full of clothes and satin fabrics!

"Boss, is that all you have here?" Count the number of people, this is not enough, there are more than a dozen people in your own line!

"Why, girl, aren't you satisfied with this?" The boss looked at his quilt, the fabrics were all good, the cotton was also new this year, and the workmanship was also very good, why did the two little girls frown and were not very satisfied1

"Boss, no, it's that we want more, these are not enough!" Li Hui was very embarrassed, it was really a mistake, she knew to bring some mattresses from home!

"Girl, that's all I have here, it's not good to sell, so we won't prepare so much!" The boss was embarrassed and said, who would have thought that an inconspicuous little girl would ask for so much at once!

"Boss, where is there anything to sell? You don't have enough here! Li Hui looked at the three beds in front of her!

"Oh, girl, this is not much, why don't you go to the street in front of you and have a look, there are also there, but I don't know how many!" The boss was gentle and showed the way, and they didn't feel unhappy because of the business!

"Okay, boss, can you please send these to the innermost courtyard of Qingliu Lane, our surname is Li, and the two of us can't hold it!" Li Hui said to the boss!

"Okay, girl, I'll let the guy send it to you when you get back!" The shopkeeper thinks about it, it's not far away, and these quilts are not cheap, and they also make money!

After leaving this shop, I found several stores in a row to buy enough quilts for the need, and Li Hui asked people to send them over directly!

The problem of living was solved, and there was food, Li Hui and Li Xiu went to the vegetable market again, and the grocery store went around, rice, noodles, vegetables, meat, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and bought some of them!

The street is obviously more lively than the last time I came, and from time to time you can see groups of scholars going out together, and the words that pop out of their mouths are sour and rotten.

Of course, there are those who look like a rich young master, and there are not a few who carry a book basket alone, Li Hui can't help but be glad that his family bought a house early, at this time not only the inn is full, but it is also difficult to find a house if you want to buy a house, and the business of the tooth store is unprecedentedly full!

Passing by the door of the Ya shop where I came last time, I could see a lot of people surrounding the Ya Yu asking if there was a yard to buy! The toothymen are also very busy, eager to grow a few more hands, and regret why they didn't stock up on more houses earlier!

In fact, there are a lot of yards in the tooth store, but in such a large county, there are too many people taking exams, and there are too many rich people!

The innkeeper has been collecting money softly these days, and there are candidates who have rushed over one after another!

When I went back, the yard was already new, the yard was cleaned and sprinkled with a layer of water, so there was no dusty feeling!

This is also due to the fact that there is a well in the courtyard with a roller on it. The manhole cover is so good that you can use it directly when you move it away, and the water inside is not muddy at all!

The first day came, I was in a hurry, I bought so many things, it was dark, and I didn't have the time and energy to prepare too many delicious foods! Li Hui and Li Xiuzi bought some steamed buns and steamed buns outside, then went to the kitchen to fry two simple dishes, and cooked a pot of millet soup!

"Uncle, we can't eat your food for nothing, live in you, this is silver, it's our food expenses for so many days!" A few young men were more sensible, and after dinner, several people discussed it together. I have to give Li Anfu silver!

"What are you guys polite? Can't I afford a few meals? You are too much to keep this money, you can buy some if you want to buy it, uncle! Li Anfu waved his hand crampedly, and honest people don't know how to refuse if they refuse!

As a result, several boys didn't agree, and in desperation, Li Anfu symbolically charged them fifty yuan, and a few of them didn't shirk it, and they felt better!

At this time, it was not early, all the way to the boat and car, there was a busy afternoon, the big guys were tired, and a few boys did not continue to study at night, they all packed up their things early and went to sleep!

Strange place, strange bed, no village and chickens and birds, a little uncomfortable, but the bed is a brand new bedding, softer than home, or quickly fell asleep! (To be continued.) )
