originally thought that as long as he passed the county exam, it would definitely not be a problem to be admitted to Xiucai.

But now it seems that this is not the case, if he can't overcome his nervous mentality, let alone show talent, I'm afraid it will be difficult for even children.

And Li Jun, the mentality is good, but there are also many problems.

The most basic, and also the most intuitive, is the sloppy handwriting.

As soon as he writes quickly, he can't read the handwriting.

Those who reviewed the county school teachings had requirements for handwriting.

No matter how good your answer is, if the words are not good, you can obviously evaluate the paper, but you have to become middle or simply medium.

What's more, if you don't even look at it, you will be sentenced.

Xie Yanzhi's requirements for the two of them, there is no problem with a knowledge, as long as you adjust your mentality and don't be affected by irrelevant people and things.

The other is to write as neatly as possible, and it does not require the words to be good, as long as you look at the past, it will give a bad impression.

In response to the situation of the two, he will train them next.

Especially Li Zheng, when necessary, if Xu Xianling is free, he will ask him to help sit and watch.

Even if there is no county order, he will think of some movements, so that he must concentrate and not be affected by the outside world.

Although he knew that with Li Zheng's level, it would be difficult to be in the top ten in the government examination, but he was prepared.

He will be poor in the third and fourth of the county exam this time, and it is not just that someone is staring at this.

In the examination room, a little wind and grass will also be affected, and the mentality is too poor, which is really unbelievable!

As for Li Jun, he will find some calligraphy and practice calligraphy in his spare time for daily study.

It's only February now, and the next government test is in April, so they can change as much as they can!

Because of the brothers' situation, coupled with Xie Yanzhi's arrangement for them, the plans of Ma's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were originally looking for a good house and preparing to move, were interrupted.

It was Cheng Xuejiao, after pondering for a while, she said to Ma: "Mother, now the eldest sister has given us the business, Zhengzi is in a special situation, let's live there if we live in the eldest sister's house, we still live in a rented house." If Zhengzi is free, he can also come back for a night. ”

Before, they came to the stall to help with the work, so they could save a lot of money if they had a place to live.

But now that they have given up their business, they make a lot of money every day, and there is no reason to continue to take advantage of it.

Especially after the Xie family is not doing business, they get up early in the morning every day to prepare things, which is easy to disturb people.

Ma Shi thought about it and nodded: "Hmm! Since the business is okay, let's move out. When I get back, I'll take some time to go home in the evening, although we come out to set up a stall, but the house is all run by big houses, and the land is also cultivated by big houses. We have to discuss how much money we have earned, and how much is appropriate. Xue Jiao, Zhengzi's silver from childhood to adulthood, in addition to his uncle's family, the big house has also helped a lot, we have to be grateful. ”

"Mother, you don't need to explain, I know. We want to thank my uncle, my uncle's family, and my eldest sister and brother-in-law. Without his uncle and uncle's family, Zhengzi could not continue to study. Without the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law, we wouldn't be able to make money, and Zhengzi might not be able to get into the exam as much as he is now. ”

She clearly remembered that when the list was released, he deliberately took the time to look at the list, and saw that many people in their twenties and thirties were still taking the exam.

This is Zhengzi's first time on the scientific examination, and it can go so smoothly thanks to the eldest brother-in-law.

Because of his daughter-in-law's sensibility, Ma moved the afternoon of the next day after Li Zheng passed the county exam.

The place they rented was also in the east of the city, not very far from the stalls, and there were not many things, so they moved quickly.

Li Lin, who was originally in charge of housework and taking care of the children at home, was not as good as Li Shu's family, but she did not get her wish to separate the family after the year.

Fortunately, because her mother's brother passed the county examination, her status in her in-law's family also rose.

On the day of the move, she also came.

When she knew that her mother's stall hired short-term workers, she had two meals a day in the morning and midday, and she gave seven cents in money, and immediately said, "Mother, do you think I can do it?" I do things, you know. ”

Li Lin is the first child of Ma and Li Sanhai, and she is not much different in age from Li Yuan and Li Shu.

For the first child, Ma is naturally painful.

She knew the scene of her daughter's in-law's house, so she said, "It's okay for you to come, but what about the children?" ”

"Let the child's father bring! Mother, although we are not separated, the land is divided. My mother-in-law meant that if I had to grow all the sweet potatoes, then I would not divide the family, but divide the land first. The land allotted to us can do whatever I want. Therefore, instead of giving me paddy fields, they directly divided my three acres and four points of dry land. It's easy to grow sweet potatoes just like that. Sweet potatoes don't need to be cared for in the field every day like rice. In addition, Qiu Jing and Qiu Yi are sensible and will help bring their younger brother. ”

Ma also knew that his daughter had not been separated, and she did not have much money on hand.

I didn't have the ability to help before, but now since the stall has to hire people, who is not hired? It is better to give money to one's children than to earn it to others.

Thinking so, she didn't want to get her daughter-in-law's consent because of this, and finally her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law separated.

Therefore, she found a free time, and after asking Cheng Xuejiao, she got her consent, and then said to Li Lin: "Lin Niang, I asked Zhengzi's daughter-in-law, and she is very happy that you can come over to help." salary, give you 300 wen a month. ”

Li Lin was very happy when she heard it: "Thank you, mother, and thank you brother and sister, I will do a good job." By the way, mother, can I live here? ”

Ma nodded her head angrily: "What kind of stupid words, don't live here, where do you want to live?" You share a room with me at night, and when we get up in the morning, we need your help. ”

"Uh-huh, thank you! Then I'll go back now, make arrangements at home, and come back early tomorrow morning. ”

After Li Lin said this, she left happily.

Li Yuan was helping Cheng Xuejiao clean up the house, and when she saw this, she asked her: "Xuejiao, has Lin Niang broken up?" Before I got married, when she and Shu Niang came to add makeup to me, they said that they would go back and split up, but what happened later? ”

"The second sister has separated, but my sister hasn't yet. My mother just told me that my sister wanted to come to the noodle stall to work, and asked me if I agreed. also said that her mother-in-law's side was not divided, but the land was divided first. ”

Li Yuan thought about it and understood why the land was divided first, so he said: "Don't divide the family, it is estimated that I want to be together, and when I go back to serve in labor, only one person will be released." If you split up, you have to go to two people, which is not cost-effective. ”

"That's right! On the side of our old house, the current situation is also equivalent to living separately without separating families. Although there is no clear division of fields or anything, they are all waiting for Zhengzi to be admitted to Xiucai. At that time, even if they live separately from each other, they will not be separated from each other, so that they can be exempted from taxes and forced labor. ”
