"The academy is closed for the holidays. I thought that since it is the end of the month, you should come to sell the ointment. I was afraid that you would have gone back. Fortunately, you have already gone back."

"We are just about to go back. It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Let's go together."

There were three brothers and sisters when they came, and four when they left.

On the way, Shen Li told Shen Han everything about his family, especially the blind box. Only then did Shen Han understand what the picture he drew was used for.

After arriving home, Shen Han walked around the house several times. He was really happy. He didn't expect that his home was now a brick house. At the same time, he felt impressed at how capable Shen Li was and was very lucky to have such a sister.

Liu Dahua and Shen Li cooked several dishes together, and the family finally had a reunion meal together.

After dinner, several people sat at the table and chatted.

"Brother, is the house built okay?" Shen Li said with some pride.

Shen Han looked at her bright black eyes, like a puppy waiting for praise from its owner, and said gently: "Very good, Ah Li is really amazing, even better than the brothers."

Shen Li felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. She scratched her chin and said, "I'm not as good as my three brothers. You know the blind box. Although I came up with the idea, it was my second brother who made it. His craftsmanship is second to none. And third brother, he was the one who helped solve the problem with Sister Daya last time. And you, my eldest brother, are such a good student. Compared with you, my little cleverness is not good enough."

"A Li, don't be so modest. It's all thanks to you that our family is what it is today. We are proud of you now. Come, let's have a drink." Shen Han picked up the bowl on the table, but there was no wine in it, but tea.

Shen Li hurriedly picked up her bowl, which contained water.

"Brother, how can you drink without me and brother two?" Shen Xing also picked up his bowl.

Shen Liang said nothing, just picked up the bowl.

The four brothers and sisters drank the tea in the bowls together.

Liu Dahua sat aside, smiling with relief.

"Brother, don't you blame me for breaking off relations with grandma's family?" Shen Li was a little nervous. Shen Han was the eldest son in the family, and it was indeed he who should make the decision on this matter.

Shen Han's expression calmed down and he said seriously, "Ah Li, I know you are a person with your own ideas and sense of propriety. You know what you are doing, and I also know that everything you do is for the good of the family, so don't feel that you have done anything wrong. Although I am a scholar, I am not stupid. I know that this is the best solution. Moreover, if something really happens there in the future, we can help, and we will naturally not stand idly by."

Hearing this, Shen Li felt relieved. She raised her lips and smiled: "I understand, big brother."

Shen Han patted her head and said, "I have two days off, and then I will take the college entrance examination."

College entrance examination? Isn't that the examination for becoming a scholar?

"Brother, are you a Tongsheng now?"

"I was already a virgin when I was ten years old. No wonder you forgot. You were still young at that time, so how could you remember these things?"

Ten years old? No wonder the original owner has no memory. Isn't this a genius? If he had gone to the academy earlier, wouldn't he have been a scholar? It was really because of lack of money that he was held back.

"Brother, you will definitely pass the exam. I believe in you." Shen Li encouraged.

"Well, I've read so many books for so many years, so I can't read them in vain."

Shen Li looked at him with confidence and knew that he would win this time.

The other people in the family were not worried at all, as they all believed in Shen Han.

The two-day holiday passed quickly.

On the day of the college entrance examination, Shen Li and several people from his family wanted to accompany him, but Shen Han refused to let them go, saying that waiting there was too much suffering, and told them to just wait at home, as he would be back after the exam anyway.

Shen Li thought about it and decided not to add more burden to him, so he agreed.

When Shen Han came back, he said he had done well in the exam. Shen Li felt that passing the exam was a foregone conclusion and was just waiting to celebrate with him.

Three days later, the family of five went to the county to check the list. Sure enough, Shen Han not only passed the exam, but also ranked first.

This made everyone in the Shen family very happy, and Shen Li immediately decided to go to a restaurant with his whole family to celebrate.

Liu Dahua was a little hesitant: "Ali, let's buy something and cook it at home. It's so expensive to eat at a restaurant. Don't waste it. You still need to save money to open a shop."

Shen Han also agreed: "Mom is right, it's the same at home, don't waste it there."

"No, listen to me and go. It's such a good thing, we must go out for a good meal."

Shen Han hesitated: "It's nothing, he's just a scholar."

"We have to celebrate. This means that you, brother, have embarked on the road to the imperial examination. It's a good start." Shen Li insisted.

Shen Xing whispered on the side: "I haven't been to the restaurant yet, it would be nice to try the food there."

"Mom, brother, don't hesitate, just listen to me, let's go."

Since we are going, we should naturally go to the best restaurant in the county.

After sitting down, except for Shen Li, the rest of them felt a little uneasy. Looking at the decoration of the restaurant, it was definitely not cheap to have a meal there. When ordering dishes, they didn't know what to order.

Although Shen Li was not embarrassed, he didn't know what to order, so he said, "Waiter, give me one portion of all your signature dishes."

The waiter happily said yes and went to the kitchen.

"Ali, how much would one serving of these signature dishes cost?" Liu Dahua asked.

"Mom, we're already here, so we have to eat well. No matter how much it costs, we have to enjoy it. Anyway, I have enough money. If I lose it, I can earn more."

"Yes, mother, now that we are here, we should enjoy our meal." Shen Xing said.

Shen Han didn't say anything at this time: "Mom, listen to A Li."

Shen Liang remained silent. He was able to make money now, so the worst that could happen was that he could carve a few more dolls to sell.

Liu Dahua knew that it was useless to say anything more, so she stopped talking.

When the dishes came, there were exactly eight dishes and one soup.

Shen Li ordered a pot of wine, she filled the glasses of several people in the family, and then said: "I wish that big brother can pass the examination and become a scholar, and that he can pass all the examinations in the future and get his name on the list of successful candidates."

"Thank you, Ali, but can you drink?" Shen Han was a little worried.

It's no wonder that although Shen Li didn't want to drink tea, he could drink quite a bit: "It's okay, I can drink."

At this point, everyone in the family stopped saying anything to spoil the fun and picked up their cups to drink.

Especially Shen Xing, he drank the most happily and seemed to like drinking very much. Most of the pot of wine was drunk by him alone.

"Third brother, we have all finished eating, do you want to drink more?" Shen Li asked.

"More..."

Liu Dahua interrupted, "What are you drinking? You're a little drunk now. We still have to go home. Who can carry you for such a long distance when you're drunk?"
