The Gan family is nervous about preparing for the exam, as the person who wants to take the exam, Gan Houli is much calmer, he and his brothers are similar but not alike, before the eleventh was born, the Gan family took him as a little lady to raise, good-looking, relatively thin and quiet among the brothers, when the brothers like to play with mud, he sits quietly, and when the brothers call friends in the neighborhood, he still sits quietly.

Since he was a child, he likes to listen to people talk about books, and he is interested in the books of his brothers, so he is the first person among all the children to go to school, and he is also the most favorite person among his brothers.

The master likes him, so he doesn't want to delay him, and when he is old, he wants Gan Houli to apply for the White Crane Academy, and Gan Houli didn't say it when he went home, because he didn't want to go to the White Crane Academy to study, and the students in the school also discussed the White Crane Academy, saying that the tuition of the academy is expensive, and the people who study in it are either rich or expensive, and Gan Houli doesn't want to go to such a complicated place to study, he likes to read, and it doesn't matter where he reads.

But the family wanted him to take the test and registered him, so he couldn't take the test.

Before dawn, Zou Xiaoxi entered Gan Houli's room with an oil lamp, there are many children in the family, most of them are a few people in a room, only Gan Houli can be a single room because he has to prepare for the exam. Before the door was opened, there was movement on the bed, Gan Houli had already woken up, Zou Xiaoxiao said, "There are many people on the road later, you mean to go early." ”

Gan Hou responded, it was still a little cold in the early morning of April, washed with hot water, and then ate a bowl of hot noodle soup, Zou Xiaoxi baked oil cakes, boiled eggs, and packed them in a cloth bag to bring them.

Gan Butcher and Gan Da have not killed today, after cleaning up, they said let's go, go out, Gan Da squatted down and said that he wanted to carry Gan Houli, Gan Houli did not let him, Gan Butcher said obediently, "This is more than ten miles to the White Crane Academy, when can you walk by yourself, and besides, you have exhausted all your strength on the road, how can you have the strength to take the exam in the examination room." ”

Gan Houli could only let his father carry it, and then changed his second uncle, Ah Weng took turns to carry it, on the back of the Gan butcher, Gan Houli whispered, "Ah Weng, I will definitely study hard and gain fame." ”

"Ah Weng believes you, you will definitely be able to pass the test." Gan butcher said.

At first, there were no cars and people on the road, and I saw a car passing by halfway through, and at this time the sky was already bright, and Gan Er was covered in sweat, "I suspect that the person I inquired about is unreliable, and there is no car, so I walk?" ”

"What's wrong with letting you walk a little?" Gan butcher said, "You see that you are weak, and it is useless to walk such a way." ”

When there are two miles away from the White Crane Academy, I saw a lot of cars, and those who came once had experience, the car was parked on the halfway, and when the time came to go back, the province turned around at the gate of the academy, and the fart was crowded with horse-drawn carts and donkey carts, and it was not easy to turn around, and the time was wasted there.

Gan Tuhu and the others quickened their pace, and led Gan Houli to the entrance and asked if it was late, and the corresponding candidates and students on the registration form smiled, "It's not late, it's a coincidence, it happens to be the last one in this examination room, and you can take the exam if you go in." ”

"Here's your exam room number, take it." The student said, "Candidates take this into the examination room, adults take this, and when the results are posted on the notice board, just look for this examination room number." ”

"Candidates enter the venue, adults are waiting outside, the first test is one hour, rest for half an hour, and then continue to take the next one, don't go far during the break, if you miss the admission time, the score of that exam will be zero."

Gan Da explained to Gan Houli, "You will come to this door when you are resting, there must be a person here with your second uncle, are you hungry now, do you want to take an egg." ”

Gan Houli said that he was not hungry, so he followed the handyman in, but fortunately, the handyman saw that he was dressed a lot, and politely led him in, and did not deliberately embarrass him because he was small.

Gan Butcher and his party were the first to come from the car, and Gan Butcher found a high position, "You can see the gate here, and it's far away from the road, wait for Shichiro to come out and let him sit here to rest." ”

Gan Da took out a piece of baggage cloth from the cloth bag, which was also prepared by Zou Xiaoxi, worried that Qilang would have no place to sit, so he could sit on the ground with this. Gan Er went to chat with the people around him, and as soon as those people heard that they were coming for the first time this year, they immediately opened the conversation, which was too experienced.

Did you bring dry food? Bring, how much to bring, what is it to bring those few oil cakes and eggs, you can only get home in the evening, that is a day without eating. Did you bring water? It's useless to bring water, you have to bring a stove, it's not hot on this day, and there are candidates who have diarrhea every year after drinking cold water and taking the test, and the preparation for a year is in vain. How old are the candidates? Seven years old! That's not in a hurry, it's rare to be able to pass the exam this time, it's just right to be admitted at the age of eight or nine, anyway, the academy is a batch from seven to twelve years old, and a batch from twelve to seventeen years old.

Gan Er asked, how to use the age of twelve as the boundary? Those people laughed even more, "It seems that your family is not a scholar, and you don't even know that you can only take the exam at the age of twelve." ”

Gan Er was not unhappy, "I won't tell you that several children in the family, although they are all sent to the school, but they are just learning in such a chaotic way, and I don't know what they can learn. ”

There are still people coming one after another, the candidates enter the door, the people who send the test are staying outside, there are more and more people outside, and soon there is no place to rest, so they can only go away, Gan Er returned to the slope, at this time he knew the foresight of Gan Butcher, they could sit comfortably and rest, and it was very convenient to go to pick up and drop off.

"I really didn't know there were so many exquisiteness in it if I didn't come once." Gan Er said. "But it doesn't matter, we will have experience next year, they said that most of them will have to take the second and third exams to pass the exam, catch the car and stop halfway, and then bring the stove, and you can have hot water, and you can heat dry food."

"By the way, where's Daddy?" Gan Er asked.

"I don't know." Gan Da said, looking at the academy not far away, he was very nervous.

Where did Gan Butcher go, Gan Butcher compared the location of the academy and Maple Village in his heart, compared the direction, and walked towards Maple Village, this road has never been walked, and he really let him go back, Liu Sanniang was shocked when he came back. "Why did you come back so soon, but what happened?"

"No change." Gan butcher said, "Qilang went in for the exam, I'm idle outside, it's okay, I just want to say if I can come back by a short road, you are closer than going from the county seat, but there is no serious road on this road, and it is not appropriate to ask Qilang to go." ”

It's not that Qilang's exam went wrong, Liu Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, "Since you're back, just wait, I'll make the meal, you bring it over for them to eat, and you won't starve." ”

"Bring me a small charcoal stove for roasting in winter, decorate it with charcoal, and let Shichiro eat it hot." Gan butcher said.

Gan Xiaotang was originally playing in the house, but when she heard the movement, she ran out and stretched out her hand for Gan Butcher to hug, and Gan Butcher asked her, "Do you want to go out with Ah Weng?" ”

Gan Xiaotang shook his head, "If you don't go today, Seventh Brother will take the exam." ”

"Later, I'll go to see what the dean of books looks like, and Twelve will be with me." When can't she go to the academy, as long as her seventh brother becomes a student of the academy, it's not like she wants to go.

"My little girl, what a little girl." Gan Butcher threw Gan Xiaotang to play, "Ah Weng also thinks that your seventh brother will definitely be able to pass the exam this time." ”
