A car accident, our family of three crossed

The group sat in the teahouse for a while, drank a few sips of tea to quench their thirst, then paid the bill and left.

Today, the villagers of Shangtang Village are paying special attention to the movements of the Hang family. Everyone knows that the entrance examination in the county town is over today and Hang Shuheng should be back.

When the carriage came from the village entrance, it attracted everyone's attention. It was almost noon, and most of the villagers were on their way home from the fields for dinner.

From afar, they saw the Hang family's carriage returning from the village entrance. Everyone did not go home this time, but turned around and walked towards the Hang family's yard, carrying their hoes.

Having just returned from the fields, they didn't care that their trouser legs were covered in mud. Everyone just wanted to go to the Hang family to see what was going on and greet Hang Shuheng first.

So, when the carriage returned to the door of his house, many villagers had already gathered in front of the gate, all of whom had come directly here without having time to go home and change their clothes.

"Oh! Shuheng is back."

"Shuheng! How did you do in the exam? Are you confident?"

"How is it in there? Did you have enough to eat?"

As soon as Hang Shuheng got off the carriage, he received a warm welcome. However, facing the endless stream of questions from the crowd, he felt really helpless!

After exchanging greetings with the villagers outside the gate for a while, I was finally allowed to enter the house.

In the yard, the old clan leader, the head of the village, Zhou Huan, Old Jiang, Master Liu and others were already waiting, waiting for the villagers to take Hang Shuheng into their home.

The old patriarch looked at him carefully from head to toe and said, "You look very energetic, not bad. It seems that you didn't wrong yourself in there."

"Uncle, look at what you said. Am I the kind of person who would let myself be wronged?" Hang Shuheng said with a smile: "Besides, I am going to take the imperial examination, not to go to jail. What can I be wronged for?"

Besides, he never let himself be wronged when he was in jail!

When the old patriarch heard him talking about going to jail, he quickly spat a few times and glared at him with disapproval. How could this brat dare to say anything out loud?

"Shuheng! Your uncle is worried that something might happen to you in there, or that your body can't handle it." The village head stepped forward to smooth things over. "I heard that every year during the imperial examinations, many people can't handle the pressure mentally or physically, so they collapse and are carried out."

Master Liu had a say on this point. He echoed, "That's right. The imperial examination is not just about academic knowledge, it also tests one's ability to endure. Some people get extremely nervous once they enter the examination hall, and there are many who don't make it to the end."

After saying that, he smiled and added: "However, these problems will not happen to Shuheng."

Looking at his calm expression, let alone pressure, he might even feel bored because the time is too long!

"Everyone, let's talk later if you have anything to say! Let Shuheng take a shower and change clothes first." After Zhou Huan finished speaking, he received a look from Hang Shuheng that said, "Uncle, you understand me."

"Yes, yes, let's let Shuheng take a shower and change clothes first! The food in the kitchen is almost ready, we can eat and chat later."

Hang Shuheng was allowed to go and finally had some peace and quiet. He went back to his room to get his clothes and went to the bathroom. Chen Laoer had already filled the bathtub with warm water.

This bathroom was later designed by Hang Shuheng, who specially invited Master Yan to bring several craftsmen to renovate it. He also dug a drainage system, so the water after bathing does not need to be taken out, but can be drained directly.

Because this drainage system was the first time Master Yan had seen it in all his years, not only did he not charge a penny for it, he also promised to give Hang Shuheng a share of the profits if he made a profit from this method in the future.

Hang Shuheng took a comfortable warm bath and immediately felt relaxed and refreshed. Even the air around him was fresh.

When he came out of the bathroom, Yangyang ran over, asked him to squat, and then kissed him on the cheek.

It turns out that this little guy is still waiting for his dad to come home and give him a bath before kissing him!

In the dining room, hot meals have been served, filling up two large tables.

Today's meal was prepared by Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Xu. They had been busy for the whole morning and it was really hard for them. Song Ning quietly said thank you to them for their hard work.

There were two tables of food, one for the men and one for the women and children. It was quite lively.

The table of women and children finished and cleaned up quickly, but the men's table started drinking.

Before the results were announced, the old clan leader and the head of the village still felt a heavy weight on their hearts and could not relax for the time being. Today was a good opportunity to have a couple of drinks to ease the anxiety and heaviness in their hearts.

After drinking for a while, the two of them lost control and got drunk. When they left, Hang Shuheng had to find someone to help them back.

Zhou Huan stood with his hands behind his back, watching their departure, and said to Hang Shuheng with a smile, "You are going to take the college entrance examination, and these two are really worried about you!"

Hang Shuheng sighed, shook his head and chuckled, "It's really hard for them."

He was also helpless about this, but it was no use just telling them not to worry so much!

Although they said nothing and asked nothing, perhaps because they were afraid of adding to his psychological burden, he knew that even if he told them that he was quite confident about the college entrance examination, they would not feel at ease.

As long as the results are not announced, these two people are afraid that they will not be able to put their minds at ease.

After the meal, Master Liu's family and Mr. Jiang exchanged a few words with Hang Shuheng. Thinking that he had just returned from the college entrance examination, he must need a good rest, so they did not stay long and left soon.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhou Huan and his daughter decided not to stay and bother them any longer. After asking Hang Shuheng to have a good rest, Zhou Huan took Zhou Ru to the workshop for a look around as she had requested.

In the workshop, except for a few aunts who were responsible for cooking for the workers in the big kitchen, the rest were all men. As an unmarried girl, it was naturally inconvenient for Zhou Ru to go to the workshop on weekdays.

However, this was the time for the workers to take a break at noon. Most of the workers had eaten and went back to the workers' dormitory to rest, so there were not many people on duty in the workshop.

When they arrived at the workshop, they only saw Shuisheng and a few others instructing a group of newly recruited farmhands. These young men now had the demeanor of master chefs.
