This meal ended up unhappily.

He Laosan took a few days off to come back for the New Year, and there were many guests in ****, including the Chen family, who had never been to the door even after they became rich.

Old man Chen is a pedantic talent, he deliberately took the time of the afternoon of the second day of junior high school, came to the third room of He, and talked with his son-in-law seriously: "You have taken the **** luck, once you were awarded an official position, don't do business in the future, it is not easy for people to look down on!" ”

He Laosan dug his lips. Keep your head down and be silent.

The Chen family doesn't like his uncle, and similarly, he also doesn't like the people of the Chen family.

Old Man Chen saw that he had been talking for a long time, and he didn't even respond, and couldn't help but be angry: "You turned your face and didn't recognize people when you became an official, okay, if you don't wait to see me, in the future, I won't have your relatives!" ”

Everyone else in the room was whispering, and when they heard this angry voice, they couldn't help but be very surprised, and looked up this way.

Old Man Chen flicked his sleeves, and then arrogantly looked around the people in the third room, and sneered: "It's just the lowest businessman, I think I have been sealed an official position, and the profit and light righteousness in my bones are still there!" You He family, I can't afford it! ”

With that, he strode out.

Everyone else in the room was dumbfounded.

Originally, the relationship between the two Chen He families was not good, and the Chen family was not close to his mother's family, when the He family was rich, they were not good ****, and later, He Laosan was made an official, and his old man was moved, and even took the initiative to come to the door to show goodwill, but this pedantic temper has not changed at all, no, it was originally good, but now the relationship has not eased but has stiffened a lot.

Alas!

The Chen family sighed and left.

The people in the remaining three rooms are speechless when you look at me and I look at you.

He Chun'er looked at Chen comfortingly, and the latter smiled lightly, with an obvious gloomy look on his face: "It's okay, your father-in-law has this temper!" ”

He Zao gave He Chun'er a look, and the latter smiled and personally made a cup of tea for He Chun'er, and gave it to Chen with both hands: "Mother, today is the father-in-law's attitude is not good, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry for this for the New Year, I, as a granddaughter, will make amends to you on behalf of them!" Don't be sad, okay! ”

She said softly, Chen's mood was really good, took He Chun'er's tea, looked at the undisguised smile on her face, and thought to herself that her efforts over the years had not been in vain, and it was really not easy for this stepgirl to be towards herself!

On the third day of the next day, the family went to Chen's house.

Now that the status of Sanfang is different, the reputation is even more valuable, and what can be done willfully in the past is now to think about it.

Old Man Chen still didn't see anyone on the shelf, but the attitude of the others was obviously much better, even if it was a little cynical, on the whole, it was much better than in previous years.

The people in the third room didn't have so much time to coax Chen Xiucai, and when they saw that he was blindly sulking, they simply ignored him, and as for the others, they spoke by themselves, and finally after eating, they all got up and said goodbye.

Chen Xiucai's nose was almost crooked.

On the morning of the fourth day of the new year, He Zao's family set off for the county seat.

The county town is more lively than the village, and there are many people who give gifts for the New Year, and there are many eunuchs who have never interacted with each other before.

He Laosan and Chen both worked with full energy and care, and finally there was no big mistake.

Li Hongfu also went to the door on the fourth day of the new year, and gave gifts from two large cars.

He Laosan and Chen's eyes narrowed with laughter. He Chun'er was also ashamed and hid back in her house.

After eating the Lantern Festival, the dragon raised his head, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the county test.

Since the Chinese New Year, Sibao has been studying diligently for this day, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest, he is late for school, late start, even if there is a review memory book that He Zao helped him make, he still feels that the time is not enough, but he has an advantage.

His family was originally from a poor background, but by chance, he was rewarded with an official position, which is a rare experience for ordinary people, and in addition, he has intervened in the family's business chores, which can be regarded as having experience.

Li Hongwei also deliberately told him some of his experience in the examination. Therefore, the vision of the Four Treasures is actually not comparable to those who blindly read dead books and rely on their own rote memorization.

Chen Shihe had already prepared the small bamboo basket frame for the exam, the pen and ink, and also prepared clothes and food.

In February, the weather was still very cold, and the clothes on Sibao's body were also freshly made, wearing a thick cotton coat, and taking a thick fox fur coat that was covered outside, as well as a pair of gloves, and a bamboo blue scarf to prevent catching a cold inside.

Eating is also very particular, warm stewed vegetables, mixed Songhua eggs, salty sauce meat, dry mixed beans, cut hawthorn cakes, a few just oven baked cakes, a bamboo tube of boiling water. Of course, it will definitely be cold when you eat it, but there is no way to do it.

During the exam, it is impossible for the examiners to let you take a hot meal.

The county exams are all tested one day apart, and there are five exams all the time, and the day in the middle is the day to see the list. If you don't pass any of the games, you can just go home and leave, and you don't have to continue the next day's exam.

He Lao Er, Da Bao, and Er Bao were all like this at that time, so He Sanfang was also experienced, his face was calm, but his heart was restless.

One day on the first day, He Laosan asked for leave, and did not go to the Sinong Pavilion at all, his errand was very leisurely, as long as there was no errand above, he could come back as long as he ordered a Mao every day.

Chen was also restless, he didn't have the energy to do anything, and at noon he wanted to cheer up and make mustard rotten meat for his family, and almost cut his hand with a knife.

There are so many things, of course, He Zao came to the county seat from her hometown, she and He Chun'er, He Xia'er didn't do anything, just sat in the wing, roasted the fire, swallowed melon seeds, gossiped nonsense, and looked outside from time to time.

Mr. Jin was very indifferent, and he didn't give Qibao a holiday, and still took classes in the study.

Qibao scratched his ears and cheeks, and his heart went up and down.

Lunch was not good to eat raw, and it stayed up until the evening, and He Laosan packed up and prepared to go out to pick up the four treasures in person.

He Chun'er and a few people hurriedly followed.

Mr. Jin was also rarely kind, and asked Qibao to follow, and Qibao was so excited that he threw away the pen in his hand. jumped and chased after him.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the county examination compound, they heard the sound of the bell ringing, which was the end of the examination time.

Then, the official guarding the door opened the door, and countless candidates poured out from inside one after another.

Because it is a county exam, most of them are young people, and some of them are middle-aged people in their forties, who have read books all their lives, but they have been stuck at the first level.
