The Li family.

After Fan Jin took Hu Xiaoyun and Ao Qing in, only Aunt Li was at home, and Huoya followed Li Zhu to work in the fields.

"Aunt Li, we'll eat here at noon!"

Aunt Li, who was busy in the house, saw Fan coming in, and returned with a smile: "Fan is here, you can find a place to sit by yourself." ”

"I'll clean up first, and I'll cook for you later."

Hu Xiaoyun took the ribs in Fan Jin's hand and said, "I'll help, you and Ao Qing are here to rest and rest." ”

"I'm going to help too."

Ao Qing and Hu Xiaoyun went to the kitchen to help out, while Fan Jin was looking at the Li family to see if there was anything to buy.

If there is no accident, I will leave Gaoyao Township in two days at most and go to Dongguang Mansion, and I will take advantage of the rest during this time to repay the Li family.

After all, if you give money yourself, according to Li Zhu's character, it is impossible to collect it.

After a while, Li Zhu went home with Huoya, Fan Jin and Huoya sat in the house, and the two childhood friends chatted happily.

"Fan Jin, are you going to be a big official in the future?"

Huoya looked at Fan Jin and asked with a smile.

Fan Jin laughed: "That's not necessarily, in this world, everything is uncertain." ”

Huoya said indifferently: "It's better to be an official, and don't worry about food and clothing." ”

Fan Jin looked at Huoya and asked, "What about you, Huoya, do you still want to join the army?" ”

Huoya was silent, and after a while, he said: "I want to go, manly man, I will definitely go to join the army." ”

"But I don't worry about my father, if I don't come back from the war, my father and mother will miss me."

"But it's different now, Fan Jin, you will be an official in the future, and you will be able to help me take care of my father and mother when the time comes."

"When I become a general, we brothers will meet at the top."

Fan Jin looked at Lehehe's open teeth, and said with a smile: "You can't even read the book on strategy, how can you be a general?" ”

"Open your teeth, you never rely on brute force to fight, and if you rely on brute force, you will never be able to be a general in your life."

Huoya frowned, "What then?" Do you know how to write a war and make a strategy, can you teach me? ”

Fan Jin looked at Huoya and asked seriously, "Do you really want to join the army?" ”

"Yes!"

Huoya looked at Fan Jin firmly.

Fan Jin pondered for a moment and said: "Then you are going to study, and when I go to Dongguang Mansion, you will go to Guangling County with me and go to the Academy of Literature to study!" ”

"I will help you say hello, and when the time comes, you will learn the Confucian classics and the art of war at the same time."

"Even if you can't pass the Tongsheng exam, if you go to the army in the future, it will be easier for you to be promoted and educated."

However, as soon as he heard about reading, he had a hard time, and he did not have the patience to sit down and read.

However, Fan Jin is right, if you want to be a general, you can't rely on brute force alone, and people who can't read can't command the war at all.

Just as the two were chatting about their ideals, there was a sound of eating outside.

"Let's go, go eat first, you think about it for a few days, whether to go to Guangling County with me or stay at home when the time comes."

"Hmm."

——————。

A few days passed quickly, and on the 20th of February, Fan Jin got up early in the morning, packed his things and prepared to go to Dongguang Mansion.

"Ao Qing, please clean up the house, I'll go to the next room."

After Fan Jin said hello to Ao Qing, he trotted to Huoya's house.

At this time, Huoya was still lying on the bed, his eyes were red, his face was full of entanglement, and he obviously hadn't slept all night.

"Tooth Gap!"

Fan, who had said hello to Li Zhu and his wife, came in front of Huoya's door and knocked on the door.

Aoya got out of bed and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Fan Jin guessed the reason when he saw Huoya's blood-red eyes.

"Have you thought about it?"

Fan Jin looked at Huoya and asked.

Huoya nodded: "Think about it, Fan Jin, I'll go with you!" ”

"But what I think is that when I can read, I'll go home and do farm work while I learn on my own."

"I can't let my dad work alone and enjoy himself outside."

Fan Jin laughed as he listened to his answer.

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to me."

The two hugged each other heavily, and then Fan Jin asked Huoya to pack up his things, and then talked to Li Zhu and his wife about Huoya.

Which parent doesn't want their son to want his son to become a Chan, but when this day came, Li Zhu and his wife obviously hesitated.

They don't want Huoya to repeat their life, but they don't want Huoya to study and join the army, after all, no one can guarantee that this world will come first tomorrow or accidents.

But with Fan Jin's guarantee, Li Zhu and his wife finally agreed.

After solving the matter of opening teeth, Fan Jin went to Hu Xiaoyun's house.

Hu Butcher didn't come out of the stall today, and when Fan came in, Hu Butcher was secretly wiping his tears at home.

"Nephew, are you here?"

Hearing Butcher Hu call himself, Fan Jin smiled and nodded, "Daddy Hu." ”

When Butcher Hu saw Fan coming in, he pulled him to sit down, looked at Fan Jin and said earnestly: "Virtuous nephew, I didn't do it right before, I was confused." ”

"Now that you are developed, you have passed the Xiucai examination, and you will become a big official next, you can't be that treacherous person."

"My Xiaoyun has taken you since she was a child, and you have seen your attitude towards you over the years, don't become a big official when the time comes, and dislike the wretched wife who accompanies you."

Fan Jin listened to Butcher Hu's words, and couldn't help laughing, this old man, this is afraid that he will not admit it when the time comes, and now he will wind himself.

But Fan Jin didn't care about this, people like Hu Butcher were like that.

You only have to stuff the gold ingots into his mouth that he will probably shut up, otherwise he will always be able to say a lot of things to you.

However, Hu Butcher's worries are not unreasonable, since ancient times, the phrase "the most negative heart is a scholar" is also very popular.

"Don't worry, Daddy Hu, I know what you said, when I win the lift, I will marry Sister Yun, and you will be blessed at that time."

After Fan Jin finished speaking, Butcher Hu laughed, and held Fan Jin's hand with his fat hand full of lard: "Good nephew, I'll wait for your words." ”

"You wait here, I'll tell Xiao Yun to pack up quickly."

"Dad, I've packed it up, what are you talking about with Fan Jin, smiling so happily?"

Hu Xiaoyun didn't have many things to bring, just some clothes and daily necessities, as well as the silver that Fan Jin handed over to him for safekeeping before.

Fan Jinzhong still had ten taels of silver left before Xiucai, and after winning Xiucai, Guangling County rewarded 20 taels of silver, as well as Xiucai's annual allowance of 4 taels, plus after the previous celebration banquet, Lin Qinghai's congratulatory gift was 6 taels of silver, and now there are a total of 40 taels of silver.

This wealth is not small, enough for a family of four or five people, and two years of ordinary expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Jiang Lizheng also gave Fan Jin a gift of five taels of silver before, but Fan Jin spent it and bought something for the Li family.

By the way, I also bought something for Hu Butcher, after all, he is also Hu Xiaoyun's father.

Butcher Hu smiled, looked at Hu Xiaoyun and said, "Isn't this that you are leaving, Dad and Fan Jin have a good chat, and when the time comes, wait for you to come back for the wedding." ”

"Oh, Dad, don't worry about this, just make a good stall at home, don't worry about it so much."

Hu Xiaoyun said with a frown when she heard Hu Butcher talk about marriage again.

Butcher Hu just smirked and didn't speak, and when Fan Jin walked out of the door with Hu Xiaoyun, Butcher Hu didn't go out to say goodbye.

"Dad, I'm leaving, and when Fan enters high school, we'll be back. These months, you take care of yourself at home. ”

Hu Xiaoyun looked at the butcher Hu standing in the room and said with a slight chok.

"Hey, dad knows, you guys go, pay attention to safety on the road. If there is good news, write a letter to my father, and I will be happy and happy. ”

"Okay."

The farewell of the father and daughter was very short, Fan Jin looked at Hu Xiaoyun, who was slightly choked, took the bag on his back, and then arched his hand at Hu Butcher: "Daddy Hu, please rest assured, with me, Sister Yun will be fine." ”

"Hmm."

Butcher Hu nodded, turned his back and went to work on something else.

Fan Jin and Hu Xiaoyun walked all the way to Fan's house, and on the way, Hu Xiaoyun wiped his eyes from time to time, and Fan Jin knew that Hu Xiaoyun was still a little reluctant.

The more reluctant Hu Xiaoyun was, the more she could see the courage of Hu Xiaoyun when she ran away from home alone.

"Sister Yun, don't worry, it's only two months, and we'll come back when the time comes."

"Hmm."

Hu Xiaoyun wiped the corners of her eyes and said.

When Hu Xiaoyun arrived at Fan Jin's house, Ao Qing had already packed up Fan Jin's things, and the house was also cleaned up, and Huoya was waiting at the door of the house with Li Zhu and his wife.

"Sister Yun, Ao Qing, you guys get in the car first."

"Huoya, you put something in too, I'll go get something in the room."

Fan Jin walked into the house, and Hu Xiaoyun was just about to go in with Fan Jin to help Fan Jin find something, but was stopped by Ao Qing.

"Let Childe go alone."

Ao Qing's eyes were meaningful, Hu Xiaoyun still didn't understand, and then Ao Qing pointed to Li Zhu and his wife who instructed him to open his teeth, and Hu Xiaoyun understood at once.

A gust of wind blew, the door of Fan's house suddenly closed, and in the living room, Fan Jin looked at his parents' tablet, took a deep breath, and then lit six incense sticks with incense candles and inserted them.

"These three sticks of incense belong to Fan Jinjing's father!"

"These three incense sticks are my father's mother!"

"Dad, mother, the child has already shown his talent in high school, and he will definitely live up to your spirit in the sky in the future, continue to work hard, strive for the champion of high school, set up an archway for you, and build an ancestral hall!"

"As for the pig demon in the high old mountain, when the child figures out the various reasons, the child will definitely avenge you!"

After Fan Jin finished pouring incense, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed to the tablet six times.

The incense that had just been lit in the incense burner burned quickly, as if Fan Jin's parents' spirits in the sky had heard Fan Jin's words.
