Chapter 58 Examinations

Qingzhu's matter has passed, because spring ploughing is more important, everyone works hard, pinning the hope of the new year on the ground. Yan Shaojie also took the spring ploughing holiday and came back to plant seedlings with his family, and the Yan family could plant the seedlings as in previous years.

In order to save time, Yan Yan sent rice to the fields, so that they could rest more. This rice planting is a tiring job, bending over to plant seedlings, and holding the seedlings in your hands, heavy on it. After half a day's work, my waist couldn't be straightened, my legs were still trembling, and I couldn't walk well.

Yan Shaojie had three days off, two days of rice planting, and on the third day, Yang resolutely refused to let him go to the ground, asking him to rest and go back to school. This time, Yan Shaojie was obedient, because he was going to take the exam this year, and if he was admitted to Xiucai, he would be able to live up to his family's expectations.

After planting the seedlings, Yan Qingshan is about to do the work in the field, and the Yang Shu's family planted the seedlings early, and the crops in the field are almost planted at this time, "Yang Shu, go and help you Uncle Qingshan," Yang Jiang said to Yang Shu as he passed by the Yan family's land.

"Okay," Yang Shu immediately walked to Yan Qingshan's field, "Uncle Qingshan, I'll help you do some work for a while." ”

"Isn't your family ready?" Yan Qingshan asked, and when he looked up, he saw Yang Jiang not far away waving his hand, motioning for Yang Shu to help.

"Almost," Poplar said as he helped plant the sweet potato.

"Go back to our house for dinner, Shaojie should come back too," Yang said with a smile, and with the help of poplar, the sweet potatoes were planted in the afternoon. Yang Shu went back after eating at Yan's house, and Yan Shaojie waited for everyone to pack up before saying, "The time has been set, just in early June, I will go to the town to take the exam." “

"Really? Then brother, you have to prepare well, come on! Yan Yan smiled and made a cheering motion, and Yan Shaojie smiled and bowed his head.

"Shaojie, you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, we have the affairs of the family." Yang said with a smile, Yan Qingshan was also silly and silly, it is estimated that this will be the most successful thing in his life, he seems to have seen the scene when Yan Shaojie came back after taking the exam.

In the days that followed, Poplar came to help until the crops were finished, and of course his own fish were well cooked. Yan Qingshan planted the crops, and I don't know where to find papaya, peach blossoms, osmanthus and other saplings, and transplanted them in the back of the house. The Yang family was not worried about Yan Yan going up the mountain, but he secretly broke a lot of wild bamboo shoots, which made Yan Yan very happy.

Yan Yan cooked the wild bamboo shoots freshly and dried them a lot, this wild bamboo shoots were delicious, Yan Yan also used bracken to eat the wild bamboo shoots cold, which won unanimous praise. Yan Shaojie now reads after dinner, and Yan Yan also adds some vegetables from time to time to make up for Yan Shaojie, this reading body is the key, fortunately, although Yan Shaojie is working less now, he has a good foundation and can bear it.

Yan Yan also often warned Yan Qingshan and the Yang family not to have too much expectations, and if they were disappointed, Yan Shaojie would be even more uncomfortable. Yan Qingshan and Yang also listened to it, and gradually they didn't pay much attention to Yan Shaojie's exam.

The chickens in the family killed a few during the New Year, and now there are only a few hens that lay eggs; The ducks also killed two, but this year it was enough to lay eggs, and the two little pigs were really fast. The Yang family went to cut the pigweed every day, but Yan Yan concentrated on the family's work.

The spring ploughing has passed, and the sky is slowly getting warmer, Yan Qingshan will weave some bamboo baskets in the yard at night, and the Yang family will make clothes and shoe soles, Yan Yan has nothing to do, Yan Shaojie will concentrate on reading with an oil lamp in the room.

Because Yan Shaojie took lunch to the school to eat, Yan Yan made some meals that were easy to heat, and also wrapped a few sweet potato cakes and tea eggs, so that he could pad his stomach when he was hungry in the afternoon.

Yan Yan forgot to see if there were any chrysanthemums last spring, but this year he noticed a lot, and there was a large one at the foot of the mountain! Every morning, Yan Yan fed the chickens and pigs, washed and dried the clothes, and then went out with a small basket. It seems that no one here has ever used chrysanthemums, Yan Yan picks a large basket every day and goes back, some of which are directly dried and can be used as pillow cores in the future; Some have been washed and boiled before drying, which will be made into tea in the future.

When there was really no place to dry, Yan Yan started digging some chrysanthemums and planting them at the back of the house, so that he could pick them at his home in the autumn, and he was happy to think about it. Yan Yan would brew a cup of chrysanthemum tea when he was on fire in his previous life, clearing the fire, and now he can eat it with fruit cakes, sweet potato cakes, etc., which is really good.

Yan Shaojie has been going home later and later recently, and at first Yang was worried about whether something was wrong, but later Yan Shaojie said that he had some questions to ask his master after school, so he came back late, Yan Yan was worried: Wouldn't it be a blow if he couldn't pass the exam?

"Brother, are you still reading?" Yan Yan packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and entered Yan Shaojie's room with a cup of brewed chrysanthemum tea.

"yes, what's the matter? Sister," Yan Shaojie felt strange, Yan Yan usually wouldn't come to him at this time.

"Brother, there are some things I want to say to you," Yan Yan put down the cup, sat on the edge of the bed and said: "Brother, don't have too much pressure, this exam also has to pay attention to luck, you have to be mentally prepared, we don't count on your talent status to live, it's just that if you get the test, it's the icing on the cake, and if you don't pass the test, it's nothing." ”

"I know, don't worry, I have the bottom in my heart, I just have to do my best to take the test, otherwise I won't be reconciled."

"You know what you know, and I know that you are reasonable, so I can rest assured." Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't bother Yan Shaojie anymore, got up and walked out of the room.

Yan Shaojie smiled and shook his head, this sister has really grown up and knows how to worry about her brother's affairs, too, this family is getting better and better because of her sister, she has bought land and saved money, and it is estimated that it will be better in the future. Yan Shaojie drank a cup of chrysanthemum tea and calmed down.

This chrysanthemum tea is also good, it can also be used as a pillow core, sleep more peacefully, fluffy and soft, and I don't know where my sister came from so much careful thinking. I must fight for my breath, so that I can support my sister in the future, otherwise what if my husband's family bullies her?

My sister is so good, who married her is a great blessing, if Yang Shu has that sincerity, it is a good family matter, after all, it is a small play, Yang Shu's temperament he still understands, and Yang Shu's family is not complicated, my sister can save a lot of worry when she marries.

The more Yan Shaojie thought about it, the more he felt that Yang Shu was good with his sister, it seemed that he would have to have a snack about Yang Shu's affairs in the future, if Yang Shu's actions were satisfied, he could say a few good words in front of his sister. And Yang Shu is now working harder and harder to make money, so that his sister can live a good life when she marries.

Yan Yan didn't know that Yan Shaojie had already thought so long-term, she took a hot bath and went to sleep beautifully. The newly changed chrysanthemum pillow core is comfortable to fall asleep, this is her last thought before falling asleep.
