66. An empty one

"Boss, you will post a notice at the door of our restaurant tomorrow, saying that the restaurant is going to be renovated so it is temporarily closed, please understand, we will open as soon as possible." Lying in the quilt, Lin Xue suddenly thought that they would open a restaurant in the future, and those previous guests were all customers, but they had to be well encircled, and they couldn't be easily offended.

"I see." There were no five fingers in the room, Li Qi turned around and looked at Lin Xue with his feelings, "Xiaoxue, I think I have started building a house recently, this Feng'er is going to school after the New Year, I want to make a study room for him to study alone, and the child is getting older, so it's not good to be crowded together." ”

I didn't expect this wood to be careful, Lin Xue said with relief, "I'm waiting, I guess the news of this official road is about to come out, wait for us to sell the restaurant and spend more money, build a house well, two floors, make an indoor staircase, the yard is also a little bigger, you can raise some chickens, ducklings, pigs, don't want it, it's too smelly, I'm planting a few fruit trees, apples, pears, and the like." Lin Xue gushed endlessly.

Li Qi didn't react for a long time, and after a while, Lin Xue heard a slight snoring, smiled helplessly, and closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Qi went to find someone to write a notice according to Lin Xue's instructions, originally there was Li Cheng at home who could write, but Lin Xue was unwilling to deal with him, and would rather spend some money to find someone to write.

Not long after, Li Qi came back with the ox cart in a hurry, and before he had time to tie the ox up, he ran into the upper room, Lin Xue felt strange and followed in.

"Dad, I just heard someone at the entrance of the village that the list will be released today, and the notices have been posted." Richie was sweating profusely.

The old man stood up excitedly, "Then what are you waiting for, call Shangcheng'er, let's go to the town to have a look, it's really the ancestors who blessed our family to show off their talents." Looking at Wang, he said, "Old woman, take more money, I want to buy a few bottles of good wine to celebrate." ”

Wang smiled, took out the key to open the cabinet, took out three taels of silver, thought about it and took two taels, and handed them to the old man, "I am cutting a few catties of meat for Cheng'er to make up for it." ”

Lin Xue went out with the old man, Li Qi and Li Cheng were already waiting at the door, they didn't see Wang Jie, I don't know if she didn't want to go, or Li Cheng didn't let them go, the three of them got into the ox cart, Li Qi rushed to the restaurant at the entrance of the village first, how could Li Fu not be present for this kind of big event.

The restaurant was busy, Li Qi got out of the car to call someone, Lin Xue looked at the door of her restaurant closed, and a notice was posted on it, she didn't know what was written if it was too far away, but she was still relieved of Li Qi's ability to do things, and from time to time she could hear people talking about when the restaurant would reopen, and it tasted very good.

Li Qi came back, followed by a group of people, all clamoring to get on the car, but the ox cart was too small to sit down, and the restaurant couldn't be empty, and finally decided to let the Erfang family and Li Ping stay, why Bai Fen was able to go together, of course, it was Li Ping's credit.

Although there were a few fewer people, they still couldn't sit down, the old man hired another carriage and sat on it with Li Fu and Li Cheng, while Zhang and Bai Fen Lin Xue sat on the ox cart and went on the road again.

Inquired about the location of the notice, everyone went straight away, there were a lot of people around the notice, the old man gave up the plan to see it in person, and asked Li Fu and Li Qi to see it, although the two had not read a book, they still knew a few words, there were too many people Lin Xue was not willing to join in the fun, so he waited aside.

Li Qi squeezed in hard, and finally rushed to the front, his eyes looked at it from top to bottom one by one, and he was looking at it again, no, he was looking at it upside down, no, he didn't give up and looked at it again, or no, and stabbed the person next to him in confusion, "Why can't I find my nephew's name, is it not finished." ”

The man looked contemptuous and said, "It's all here, if you don't make the list, it means that you haven't been admitted, and you will take the exam in three years." ”

At this time, Li Fu also squeezed in, and while looking at the list, he asked, "Third brother, have you found it?" ”

Li Qi couldn't bear to hit him, so he said, "I haven't finished reading it yet, let's find it together." ”

"Forget it, I know you're useless." Li Fu muttered and continued to watch, not daring to blink his eyes, for fear of missing it.

Li Qi pretended to look at the list, but he was thinking about how to tell the old man this cruel news, hey, he had to tell the truth in euphemism.

"Third brother, why is this not Cheng'er's name, did I miss it?" Li Fu asked.

Li Qi could only tell the truth, "Big brother, I didn't find it either, the person next to me just now said that if you don't have a name, it means that you didn't pass the test." ”

Li Fu looked displeased, "What are you talking about, Cheng'er reads so well, how can he not be hit, I'm looking, there must be." ”

Li Qi couldn't persuade him, so he could only squeeze it out first, as for the cruel news, let Li Fu reveal it, at this moment, the honest Li Qi also became cunning.

"Third child, how is it, Cheng'er has taken the first exam." The old man asked expectantly.

Li Qi snorted twice, he couldn't say it, Lin Xue knew that the situation was not very good when he saw this, and he couldn't bear to embarrass Li Qi, so he relieved him and said, "Boss, are you being squeezed out." Secretly gave him a look.

Li Qi understood, "Yes, Dad, there are too many people, I was squeezed out as soon as I entered, but the eldest brother is in front, he must have seen it." ”

Give Richie a thumbs up, and it's going to get smarter.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry, it's a sure thing that I'm on the list, and it's definitely in the top ten." Li Cheng still looks arrogant.

"Dad, Cheng'er has said so, then you can rest assured." Zhang said on the side.

Bai Fen moved from the old man's side to Lin Xue and quietly asked, "Third sister-in-law, did you miss it?" Looks like she guessed it too.

Lin Xue nodded lightly, did not speak, and the two tacitly understood at the same time and took a step back, away from Li Cheng and the old man.

The number of people around the notice has increased unabated, the middle cheered loudly, the family went to the restaurant to celebrate happily, the head was lowered, and the parents who followed next to him also severely reprimanded, not studying hard, not reviewing before the exam, not playing well during the exam, etc.

Finally, Li Fu squeezed out of it, walking with heavy steps, there was no trace of joy on his face, Lin Xue felt that her heart was beating wildly, which felt weird.

The old man finally noticed that something was wrong, the face on his face was gone, and he asked hesitantly, "Boss, do you see Cheng'er's name, how many are you?" ”
