The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

After seeing the two off, a few days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the county issued a notice for the Tongsheng examination.

The four boys of the Su family, the two grandsons of Zhou Lizheng and Zhao Xuanming, seven people signed up. The scholar who acted as guarantor was Su Andong.

In the blink of an eye, it was February, and in a few days I would have to take part in the county examination.

Although the weather has gradually warmed up and the snow has basically melted, the temperature is still very low. For the boys taking the exam, it is not only a test of their brain power, but also a test of their physical fitness.

In order to improve their physical fitness and be able to pass the exam smoothly, the other three boys of the Su family followed Su Zhihao to do morning exercises more than 20 days ago.

Zhou Huilan, who was at home, had also prepared clothes, knee pads and other items for her children who were taking the exam.

Su Anton also made a special trip to the county and bought them new pens, ink, paper, inkstones, exam baskets and other items.

The Su family had also agreed that they would take the seven boys to the county to live the day before the exam. They would live in the two houses in the backyard of Lanhuifang, and the rooms would be prepared for them in advance.

As the exams approached, Su Yuanyuan found that the Su family's dinner table became quieter and quieter. This was because the brothers who were always noisy had become somewhat silent. Su Yuanyuan knew that they were nervous.

Su Zhihao had a good mental state. Even before the exam, during his last break, Su Zhihao went hunting in the mountains as usual, unlike the other boys who stayed at home to study.

Su Anton did not stop Su Zhihao from going up the mountain to hunt. Instead, he thought it was a good idea to relax before the exam and combine work and rest.

What they didn't know was that although Su Zhihao went up the mountain, he was very careful. He knew very well that he must not get hurt before the exam. He went up the mountain just to relax and hunt pheasants and rabbits, and didn't go deep into the mountains at all.

The day before the exam, Su Anton gave the students of the private school a half-day class and then gave them a holiday. He had to accompany several children to take the exam.

After having lunch at home, the group went to the county. In addition to Su Andong, Zhou Lizheng was worried and also went to the county.

When we arrived at the county, we went straight to the backyard of Lanhuifang.

Su An Dong wanted to take them out for a walk, just to relax before the exam. But except for Su Zhihao, none of the children had the interest. In the end, they all stayed in the room to read.

Early the next morning, Su Anton and Zhou Lizheng sent the children to the examination room.

The results of each county examination will be announced once, and those who are eliminated will naturally not have to take the next examination.

A few days later, the exams were over and all I had to do was wait for the final list.

After the county exam, Zhou Jiazhi and Zhou Jiaxin, the two grandsons of Lizheng, both fell ill after leaving the examination room. Fortunately, it was not a serious illness, just a common cold.

Su Zhicheng and his companions looked at the two people who had fallen ill, and they were all thankful that they had been doing morning exercises with Su Zhihao during this period. They did not get sick, and it seemed that this morning exercise was useful.

Because of this little episode, Su Zhicheng and others silently decided that they had to continue doing morning exercises with Su Zhihao.

The list came out the next day.

When the list came out, Su Anping also went. All three of his sons took part in this exam.

Su An Dong looked at his slightly nervous elder brother and teased: "I saw you running around in the store all day long, looking like you didn't care, but you turned out to be so nervous!"

Su Anping did not hide anything in front of his brother and spoke the truth: "If I appear to care so much and ask about their well-being, I'm afraid they will be nervous. I thought if I acted more normal, they would be more relaxed. In fact, although I was in the store these few days, my heart was so heavy! I followed them into the examination room." After saying this, he touched his nose embarrassedly.

Adults always have a shortcoming, that is, they will pin their shortcomings on their children. They always hope that their children can do what they cannot do; they always hope that their children can complete the wishes they cannot fulfill on their behalf. Su Anping has such a shortcoming. He himself has no talent for reading and does not like reading; but he hopes that his children can make a name for themselves through reading.

The list fulfilled Su Anping's wish. The seven children who took the exam performed well and all passed the county exam.

Su Anton's emotions were managed well, but Zhou Lizheng was so happy that he lost his composure.

Zhou Lizheng kept thanking Su Andong, saying that it was thanks to him, otherwise the two children would not be where they are today. After saying this, he praised Su Andong again. He praised Su Andong until his face turned red, and he kept saying humble words.

Don't think that you should be so happy because it's just a county exam and you didn't really pass the exam to become a student.

Passing this county exam was of great significance to Zhou Lizheng. The Zhou family had been farmers for generations, and now they had a scholar, so how could he not be happy?

Several children did not go to see the list, but looking at the expressions of Su Anton and others, one could guess that the result should be good.

But everyone was still somewhat nervous, fearing that they would fail the exam.

Su Zhicheng was the happiest person to learn that all seven of them had passed the county exam. He was the oldest among the seven candidates and also had the most pressure.

Su Zhicheng always thought that he was the eldest brother and couldn't lose face in front of his younger brothers. This time, he passed the county exam, so even if he didn't pass the exam, it wouldn't be a disgrace to him.

After taking the county examination, you can rest for a while and wait for the provincial examination in April.

After looking at the list, Su Anton took them all home to continue studying.

Su An Dong did not give them another day off, thinking that they had already had a whole day off yesterday, which was enough. The test is not over yet! What's the point of taking a break! If you don't study now, when will you study?

Even for the two who were sick, Su Anton only asked them to rest early every day and did not give them any holidays.

Su Anton thought that this common cold was just a flu. We were all grown men, so why should we be so delicate?

In addition to daytime classes, Su An Dong now arranged evening classes for them. In order to save time for study, he also let the two grandsons of the Zhou family and Zhao Xuanming stay at his home for food and lodging, since they could sleep anyway.

Su Anping and his wife are now staying in the county and rarely come back to sleep, so Su Antong asked Su Zhicheng and others to sleep in his parents' room.

Now Su Anton can be said to be seizing every available moment to urge the seven people to study.

Zhou Huilan, as a mother, aunt and aunt, loves the children very much and has been preparing delicious food for them in various ways these days.

It has to be said that people still like to eat delicious food. The satisfaction on the taste buds really comforts their tired hearts.
