Chapter 62 Township Examination

Time flies by, three years pass in the blink of an eye, looking at the group of children who are reading at night in the school, Zhang Shiyang seems to have returned to the college entrance examination that year, sweating hard under the scorching heat, and reading at night. To a certain extent, the college entrance examination in the previous life is a turning point of fate, and to get admitted to a good university is to have a good starting point, and the opportunity for employment in the future is much greater than that of others.

The scientific examination in this world is divided into three stages, the township examination, the county examination, the prefectural examination and the scientific examination. They can be tested for children's students, talents, lifters, and finally the champion of the national scientific examination, the list eye, and the flower. Tongsheng is the first step in the life of these children, this step is still more important, if you are admitted to Tongsheng, you can also be regarded as famous, and you can also make a living in the future.

Zhang Shiyang specially called the children of the whole village to the school and gave everyone free lamp oil every night. This lamp oil has animal oil, vegetable oil, and various mineral oils bought, Zhang Shiyang's house is lit up every night, because Ma Hao is also there, so Ma Widow has to wait until late at night to accompany Ma Hao home. Zhang Shiyang bought a lot of rice, and every night the horse widow boiled porridge for everyone as a supper, you must know that reading is a very hard thing, it consumes brainpower, and every night she cooks meat porridge for everyone. Those dogs had to bring some prey back to the house every day, enough to boil meat porridge, and the rest of the meat was dried into bacon by Zhang Shiyang and dried in the yard, and sometimes the people in the village were helped.

Under the supply of Zhang Shiyang's porridge, the mental strength of these children has become more sufficient, and time flies, and three months have passed. The grass warbler flies in February, spring is coming, the time for the township test is coming, tonight is their last night, tomorrow they will leave with the village chief to go to the township test to register, and then live in the county, waiting to participate in the scientific examination after half a month. Tonight, Zhang Shiyang called three butchers in the village, skinned the three goats that had just been hunted from the mountain, disemboweled, cleaned them, and then set up three large cauldrons and began to cook, some haggis were also put in the pot, together with some of the ingredients that Zhang Shiyang picked on the mountain some time ago, and then put the green vegetables, and the aroma of the meat in a pot spread far away. The whole village can vaguely smell some of the smell of meat, the horse widow is sitting on the side of the rice, steamed steamed buns, white noodles are difficult to eat in these years.

A group of children didn't have the heart to study, and they looked outside from time to time. Over time, a pot of steamed buns steamed out, and the meat was cooked. Zhang Shiyang glanced at the children who were looking inside from time to time, lowered his head and smiled, and then said, "Okay, don't look at it, come out, I have something to say to you." A group of children put down their textbooks when they heard this, and then walked out of the school and stood in front of Zhang Shiyang, although they all looked at Zhang Shiyang, but their eyes still looked at the meat and steamed buns from time to time. Zhang Shiyang also understood, so he said: "You are going to the county and township test tomorrow, you have worked hard to practice literature and martial arts in the past few years, everyone is obvious to all, of course, with your level, if you study hard, you will not talk about the champion in the future, but everyone can be admitted to Xiucai, as for the most people who lift most of the people, there is no problem, as for the scientific examination, some of the top three people also have a great chance, so you don't have to be nervous about the exam this time, there is absolutely no problem with a township test."

A group of children were overjoyed when they heard this, and after several years of getting along, everyone had absolutely no doubts about Zhang Shiyang's words. Looking at the happy child in front of him, Zhang Shiyang spoke again: "As for these meats and steamed buns, they are all for you to send farewell rice, everyone hurry up and take a bowl to eat, otherwise someone will die of hunger in a while." When a group of children heard this, they ran to take bowls and ran towards the three pots of meat, Zhang Shiyang looked at the children who were eating, and then said to the three butchers: "You guys should eat too." The three butchers thanked them and picked up their bowls to join the meat grabbers.

Zhang Shiyang looked at the horse widow standing on the side, walked over quietly, and then pulled her sleeve. The horse widow looked at Zhang Shiyang suspiciously, and after seeing Zhang Shiyang's signal, she followed Zhang Shiyang into the house, and Zhang Shiyang took out a pot of meat: "You have been busy all night, hurry up and eat, I just quietly hid this meat." When the horse widow heard this, her eyes narrowed into a crescent: "Sir, eat it too." Zhang Shiyang shook his head when he heard this, then turned around and walked outside: "I don't eat, I'm not hungry, and I don't have the habit of eating at night."

Walk out of the yard and look at the hot people who are eating, find a chair and sit down, and watch the people eat. When everyone was about to eat, Zhang Shiyang waved his hand at the two students and motioned for the two students to go with him, but everyone was puzzled and didn't care. After a while, I didn't know where to get a big box, Zhang Shiyang walked in front, and the two students followed behind carrying the box. I put the box on the ground, but the ground shook, and it was obvious that the box was not light.

After everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Shiyang clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and then said: "Since you are going to the exam tomorrow, the county is different from the countryside, and the consumption in it is not comparable to the countryside, I also understand the situation in your family, sir, I don't have any great ability, I have saved some silver by selling medicinal materials in the past few years, since everyone is going to take the exam, and there will be fame in the future, this is also a happy event, I will fill in a lottery for everyone."

Saying that, he opened the box, but inside were paper bags of about the same size, almost the size of a fist, looking at the puzzled eyes of everyone, Zhang Shiyang explained: " There are ten taels of silver in each paper bag, each of you takes one, which is my congratulatory gift to everyone, in addition to the registration fee of one or two silver in the town, the rest of you buy some things, as for your accommodation fee, I have already handed it over to the village chief, you don't have to worry about the silver, I have already thought about it for you, you just need to work hard for the exam."

A group of children looked at each other when they heard this, but no one moved to take it, although they knew that Mr. was very rich before, but they didn't expect to take out a thousand taels of silver at once, Zhang Shiyang looked at everyone's reaction and said: "Hurry up and get it, it's not early, I still have to sleep after taking it, hurry up, it's useless for me to keep the silver, it's better to give it to you."

Under Zhang Shiyang's explanation, a group of children stepped forward one by one to pick up the silver, their faces were excited, but they didn't know what to say when they looked at Zhang Shiyang. It's just that I don't know who led them to Zhang Shiyang one by one and bowed, Zhang Shiyang didn't stop him, and then looked at a group of children and said: "Everyone has divided the leftover meat, take it home, everyone disperse, scatter, disperse." After speaking, he took out the remaining meat in the pot and divided it among everyone, and watched a group of children gradually leave, and finally only Ma Hao was left in the yard. Zhang Shiyang knew that he was waiting for the horse widow, so he pushed the door and walked into the house, at this time the horse widow had almost finished eating, looking at the remaining pot of meat, Zhang Shiyang said: "You can take this pot of meat home, and those steamed buns, I can't eat them alone." Widow Ma didn't shirk when she heard this, she also knew Zhang Shiyang's surname over the years, picked up the meat and packed the steamed buns, walked out of the door, and walked out of the door with Ma Hao.

Seeing that the courtyard was in disarray, Zhang Shiyang didn't bother to clean up, so he closed the door and slept with his head covered. The night was in a hurry, the day was soon bright, all the men, women and children in the village dragged their families to the village to send this group of children, looking at the village chief, Zhang Shiyang said: "Village chief, this time it is troublesome for you, I don't know if the silver given to you yesterday is enough, in short, you can't be bitter with the children." The village chief nodded: "Enough, enough, and I heard that you gave that group of children a sum of money last night, but you broke the bill again." Zhang Shiyang shook his head: "Needless to say, it's not too early, let's start quickly." The village chief nodded when he heard this, called out to the children who were saying goodbye to their parents, and embarked on the journey. Looking at the children and the village chief who had gone away, Zhang Shiyang knew that this group of children was the hope of the village, and they gathered the hard work of the whole village. Zhang Shiyang walked out and returned to the village
