Du Mei quickly figured it out again, Lin Dai was young and had never seen anything in the world, he must have been frightened by this change, since ancient times, his career has been bumpy, since he has changed his mind, it is inconvenient for her to force it.

"This idea is not bad, you go back to rest for a few days, accompany your father and mother, and then follow the shopkeeper Dong to learn by heart." Du Mei thought about it, anyway, in the future, there will always be a shopkeeper in the shops in Gangneung City, rather than going to the tooth shop to ask, it is better to use his own family who knows the roots.

"Really? I failed your expectations, and you didn't scold me? Lin Dai raised his head and said with sparkling eyes.

"What kind of stupid thing is this, why should I scold you, whether it is reading, learning to be a shopkeeper, it is all what you want to do, no matter what we do, we must do our best, worthy of our hearts, even if we no longer do this in the future, remember the original efforts, but also have no regrets.

You have studied and worked hard, and those knowledge are remembered in your heart, although it is bad luck now, but it will be beneficial in the future, but you don't know that it is today's work. Du Mei smiled with crooked eyebrows, making people feel like a spring breeze.

"I will definitely learn from the shopkeeper Dong in the future." Lin Dai saluted solemnly.

"Well, there is a shop waiting for you to take care of it in the future." Du Mei patted him on the shoulder and encouraged.

"Plum!" Shen Zhanghua was wearing a dark blue robe, stepping on the red confetti all the way, and slowly walked towards her.

"Shen County Order." Du Mei bowed.

"For the grace of saving your life, please accept my worship!" Shen Zhanghua helped Du Mei and fell to the ground.

"Shen County's order is serious, the clean person will clear himself, I won't go over and ask them to return your innocence." Du Mei bowed back.

"I know that you are running up and down, and you will definitely waste your money, and my heart is uneasy." Shen Zhanghua said apologetically.

"What are those things, they are just things outside the body, and your well-being is the most important thing." There were people coming and going in the aisle, crowded one after another, Du Mei simply let Shen Zhanghua into the house, and the two sat at the table and talked.

Shen Zhanghua was touched by Du Mei's sentence "Your well-being is the most important thing", he looked at the girl in front of him, bright as the sunshine of this spring, he clearly knew that Du Mei had nothing else to do, but his heart was still beating like a drum, and his face was red like a tide.

He likes Du Mei, like no trace, as if it is the spring breeze and spring rain in March, overnight, the peach blossoms bloomed, the wicker burst buds, Du Mei did not know when to live in his heart, he knew for the first time in his life how to love is a kind of gain and loss feelings.

He didn't dare to talk about his affection to anyone, he knew that Du Mei's clear eyes had respect and admiration for him, but there was no love. He was afraid that he would say it, and he was afraid that he would never talk to him so freely again.

Shen Zhanghua was locked up in the county jail, thinking about a lot of things calmly, but he didn't say that he liked Du Mei, which was the biggest regret in his life, and now, she sat in front of him vividly, her eyebrows and eyes were flying, and she was smiling, he still only told her about the complicated things in the yamen and the growth of summer grain in the field, but he felt very satisfied.

Everyone ate and drank for a day, and when they got to the end, even Shen Zhanghua, who didn't drink on weekdays, didn't know who poured wine, his face was red, and he couldn't say a word to say goodbye to Du Mei.

"Plum ...... I...... Like you...... ......Shen Zhanghua didn't finish speaking, the wine surged, he took a few steps, and he vomited in the corner of the wall.

"Are you alright?" Du Mei frowned and stepped forward, stroking his back to help him calm down.

"You go and greet the guests, I'll come, who is this, filling you like this!" The sharp-eyed Ye Qing hurriedly stepped forward and replaced Du Mei.

"I'm happy, I like it!" Shen Zhanghua's eyes were drunk and hazy, and he couldn't see it really.

"County master, you should be happy today." Ye Qing said with a smile.

The suddenly changed male voice startled Shen Zhanghua, and instantly burst into a cold sweat, he stood up, raised his eyes and saw Du Mei standing in the swaying lamp shadow under the corridor, smiling and greeting guests, he wiped the corners of his mouth, leaned against the wall weakly, and said softly: "Thank you, shopkeeper Xiaoye, please go and call Han Liu to pick me up." ”

Ye Qingfei ran away, Shen Zhanghua looked at Du Mei's figure a few steps away, and smiled silently, perhaps, such a distance is just right.

A few days later, the spring test list was released, and Du Jie was admitted to Xiucai in one fell swoop. Dujiagou boiled all of a sudden, and the Wei family was even more proud, and when he met people, he said that he was the only one in a hundred years.

Du Jie won the first battle, but Lin Dai abandoned the article to engage in business, which made the scrap manuscript very disappointed, he compared Du Jie and Lin Dai horizontally and vertically, and quietly said to Du Mei that if he didn't get out of that file, Lin Dai would definitely be able to be admitted, he wanted Du Mei to persuade Lin Dai to come back and continue to study, but Du Mei politely refused.

How many people have exhausted their family wealth, abandoned their wives and children, worked hard for many years, and just got in. Lin Dai was no longer willing to take this road, so Du Mei naturally would not force him.

Du Jiagou was envied again, and the patriarch Du Huaibing also felt that he had face, his waist was straight, and all he heard in his ears were compliments.

Because the three rooms had just died, it was not easy for the family to hold a celebratory banquet, so Sanjin invited someone to hold a few tables of banquets at home, which was regarded as a thank you to relatives and friends. Du Jie did not come back from Qinghe County under the pretext of Wen Shu's examination, although everyone had a complaint, but they only muttered one or two behind their backs.

The next day, Shen Zhanghua suddenly came to Dujiagou to resign, he was a blessing in disguise for a while, and when he came to operate, he was actually sponsored by the seventh prince and the ninth prince at the same time to become the governor of Ningzhou, and he was about to take office in the near future.

"Congratulations." Du Mei was a little surprised when he heard the news, but he was sincerely happy for him.

"I am only reluctant to let the people of Qinghe County be." The courtyard of spring was already mottled with shadows, and Shen Zhanghua said in a low voice.

"You went to Ningzhou, Qinghe County is not under your jurisdiction, and when I go to Jiangling City to do business in the future, I am afraid that there will be more opportunities for us to meet than now." Du Mei is open-minded, only treats him as a friend and brother, and speaks frankly.

"You're going to be in Gangneung City for the rest of the year?" When Shen Zhanghua heard him say this, his face finally cleared and he burst into a little smile.

"That's how it is intended, Gangneung City is an imperial city, and there will always be more opportunities." Du Mei nodded.

"Then we're going to have to come and go from now on." Shen Zhanghua felt that it was not so sad to go to Ningzhou to take office at this moment.

Shen Zhanghua moved away from the county yahoutang of Qinghe County, in addition to bringing his own books and clothes, he also took away a clump of plums, this is the spring of the growth of all things, change places, you can still flourish!

The villagers of all ages in Qinghe County spontaneously came to see him off, Du Huaibing got up in the morning, and when he arrived, he saw that there was only simple luggage and a bush of flowers and trees with fresh soil in the car, his heart was sour, and tears moistened his eyes at once.

Everyone only thought that he could not leave his homeland, and brought a handful of clay flowers and trees as a commemoration, but Shen Zhanghua had a trace of extravagant hope in his heart, and he was thinking about the appointment next year that Du Mei said.

In this way, the time of ten days slipped away in the fingers, the sun warmed day by day, the villagers took off their heavy cotton clothes, the wheat in the field rose and tasseled one by one, and the rape could not wait to bloom, and at a glance, it was all a thriving scene.

And at this moment, it is also the most difficult season for farmers, every household has not much grain in stock, and people who raise ducks are even more miserable, and people have to be careful to eat, so there is still surplus grain to feed the ducks!

As a result, the ducks on the river beach were so hungry that they kept making noise all day long, and they were even more terrible at night.

Du Mei is at home these days, and she has fed 500 duck seedlings, and she has agreed with Qian Maoda that she will send 500 duck seedlings every month in the future.

Qian Maoda didn't think about what Du Mei was doing with so many ducks, he didn't have the brains to figure it out, but he knew that this was a long-term deal, and there would be a fixed amount of income every month, so he happily agreed.

The ducks on the river beach are crowing day and night, and the ducklings at home are also restless, and they are always carried by the ducks on the river beach in the middle of the night. Xu slept shallowly, often just falling asleep, he was woken up, for several days, unable to sleep at night, unbearable.

Du Mei saw that Xu was listless during the day and still forced to take care of the family's life, she was naturally very distressed. At first, the people in the village swarmed bees and raised ducks, and she foresaw today's results, she didn't plan to care, but if it goes on like this, the people in the village will inevitably not be able to raise ducks, and it is inevitable to lose money and lose money.

After all, she couldn't bear it, so she went to the river beach to check, and saw that the ducks were so thin that their necks were stretched when they screamed, and some ducks were seriously short of food, and they didn't even grow big feathers.

"Aunt Zhang, why don't you feed the ducks." Du Mei saw that Zhang was cleaning up duck droppings and stepped forward to ask.

"Meizi, I really regret dying now, if these half-sized creatures are let go of eating, the family's rations will be eaten in less than ten days! At this time, people eat less, where do I dare to feed it? Zhang looked at his fifty or sixty skinny ducks and said with a bitter face.

"But without feeding at night, just eating these wild vegetables and aquatic plants, it is difficult for the duck to grow a skeleton, let alone long meat and lay eggs, and if you miss this time, the duck will grow stiff, and no matter how you feed it in the future, it will not be better." Du Mei glanced at the food bowl and saw that it was full of wild vegetables.

"But there is only so much food, I can't let people go hungry, feed the ducks first, and there is not enough to feed." Zhang was holding a shovel and looked at the water in a daze.

"Otherwise, I'll give you some rice on credit, and you can pay me back the rice in the future, and use duck eggs and ducks to settle the bill." Du Mei thought for a moment and said.

"Oh, this couldn't be better, I'll pay for the duck, and I won't raise it next year!" Zhang's worries turned into joy and hurriedly agreed.

"Aunt Zhang, you have always been meticulous, why don't you ask me how to get credit at this time, and you just agreed?" Du Mei laughed.

"Meizi, what kind of person are you, my aunt doesn't have a point in her heart, how can you treat me badly." Zhang Shi rolled his shrewd eyes, smiled and said, "Tell your aunt quickly, what kind of credit method is it?" ”
