Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 205 Tongsheng
Therefore, the soldiers who came to help with the work were secretly amazed when they saw the scale of the rabbit farming here.
"Okay, I'll take these rabbits with me," He Mingyu said, "Now that rabbit farming has grown to a large scale, you should also plan to build a rabbit jerky production plant."
"Don't worry, this matter will definitely not be delayed." Xiao Lan assured.
After seeing He Ming and his group off, Xiao Lan's family gathered together in the evening to chat.
"Xiao Wen and his friends are now in the city, and I don't know if they can get used to it. We are not around to accompany them. The children are still so young, and they have to take exams and so on..." Zhang's thoughts drifted to Xiao Wen in the city. It is said that children are a piece of flesh that fell from their mothers, and they have to be taken care of no matter where they go.
"Mom, don't worry. Xiaowen is grown up now and can take care of himself. Besides, we have Uncle Hu and Aunt Liu to take care of him. You don't have to worry about them." Xiaolan comforted Zhang.
"Well, Xiaowen is sensible and doesn't make me worry..." Zhang sighed.
Children from poor families grow up early. Xiaolan's family has been poor all their lives, so naturally they are all sensible and don't cause trouble for their family. This is because Zhang was thinking about the sad days her family had gone through in the past and was secretly sad.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer. It is almost the end of April and May. The lotus leaves in the pond have grown densely and are green and beautiful.
There was a shed for farmhands on the other side of the pond. Sheng Xuan saw that Xiao Lan was willing to stay by the pond, so he took the workers who built the food shop to build a pavilion for his daughter by the pond. When Xiao Lan was free and wanted to see the scenery of the pond, she would have a place to sit.
The fish in the pond are growing well. Some wealthy people from this town and neighboring towns have already come to inquire about the price and when they can sell the fresh fish.
The crops on the farm and in the fields have sprouted. Xiao Lan paid special attention to the sprouting of her own wheat field, because this is the first year of planting crops after the disaster and war, and every household is very diligent in taking care of them. There was enough rain this spring, and the crops in the fields have sprouted neatly. The farmhands have already pulled the weeds once, and the crops are growing well.
In May, Xiao Lan began to arrange matters for the meat workshop. After all, He Mingyu came to remind her last time, and this must be Shen Liu's intention. Shen Liu was her backer, and since the boss had spoken, how could she not take it seriously?
Xiaolan was busy building a meat workshop, while Zhang was preparing things for May Festival. As Zhang mentioned Xiaowen more and more often, the family understood that Zhang missed her son too much. Xiaowen was always right in front of her, and now that he had been gone for such a long time, how could she not miss him?
The provincial examination will be held at the end of April, and there will be three consecutive exams. Xiaolan estimated Xiaowen's schedule and estimated that he should be back in the next two days.
That day, Xiao Lan went to the meat processing factory to check the construction situation and then came back. The meat processing factory had Shen Liu's people to help watch over it. She just gave some ideas, set a general direction and paid for the construction. The rest of the things were naturally supervised by Shen Liu's people, so she was very relieved.
In the afternoon, Zhang's mother and several other girls were making rice dumplings in the yard. "Today is the second day of the New Year, why hasn't your brother come back yet? We agreed that he would be able to come back to celebrate the festival." Zhang started muttering again.
"Mom, it's only the second day of the Chinese New Year. There are still three days left. Xiaowen will definitely be back before the holiday." Xiaolan said with a smile, "If he can't make it back, I will go to the capital to pick him up."
As the mother and daughter were talking, they heard the sound of a carriage outside, and Zhang subconsciously looked outside. "Oh, Xiaolan, Xiaoting, your brother is back." Zhang said happily.
At the same time, Xiaowen's cheerful voice came from outside, "Dad, Mom, Big Sister, Second Sister, I'm back."
Zhang, Xiaolan, and Xiaoting quickly put down their work and went out to greet them. When the family went out, they saw a carriage parked at the door, and Hu Yidao, Xiaowen, and Xiaohu were carrying the luggage downstairs.
"Mom, eldest sister, second sister," Xiaowen greeted them quickly.
At this time, Zhang Shanfeng, the Zhang brothers and Sheng Xuan, who were working in the farm, got the news and rushed back. The family took their luggage and walked home with Xiaowen and Hu Yidao. As for making zongzi at home, they could not take care of it.
After returning home, everyone sat down on the kang. "Xiao Wen, it's a good thing you came back today. If you didn't come back, mother would have arranged for me to go to the provincial capital to pick you up." Xiao Lan said with a smile.
"That's right, Xiaowen, you don't know that our mother has been talking about you these days. What your second sister said is not exaggerating at all. But in my opinion, if you don't come back today, our mother will have to follow your second sister to the capital to pick you up tomorrow." Xiaoting joked with a smile.
"I'm not like that. Don't listen to what your two sisters say." Zhang defended.
After Xiaowen calmed down, his family asked him about his exam performance.
Passed the provincial examination.
In this era, Xiaowen's county and prefectural examinations were not considered imperial examinations, but were just the stepping stones to the imperial examinations. If you passed them, you would be a Tongsheng, and you would be eligible to take the imperial examinations. If you passed the prefectural examinations, you could take the academy examinations. There would be a academy examination in Liaodong Prefecture in August this year. Even if you failed the academy examinations, you would not have to take the county and prefectural examinations again. As long as you passed the Tongsheng examination once, you would not have to take it again.
This time, except Xiaowen, the others failed.
Xiaowen loves reading. Due to limited financial conditions at home, he did not receive formal education. Now he is learning to read and write from Mr. Huang. He also wants to be Xiaolan's supporter so that his second sister won't have to work so hard, so he works extra hard.
Before the family had time to enjoy themselves, Sheng Yugui's family got the news and brought Sheng Jiayu home. That's the good thing about living in a village: the whole village will know about the slightest disturbance.
In the whole Shengjia Village, there was only one scholar, Sheng Nuo, and one student, Sheng Hong. Now Xiao Wen has also passed the examination and become a student, and he is so young. This news spread throughout the village like wings.
"I just heard about it and rushed here immediately. Jiayu's father and her brother will be here soon. Such a big happy event must be celebrated properly. Our Xiaowen is a tongsheng at such an old age. This is the first in Shengjia Village and even in Taihe Town." Shen congratulated Zhang with a smile.
