Zhao Guocheng and Wang Haiming went to pick up Zhao Shisheng and the other person. The exam lasted for two days, and today was the first day. They had to be picked up after the exam in the afternoon, and had to enter the exam room again before noon on the second day.

"How do you two feel? Are you tired? Are you cold?" Zhao Guocheng asked about their health and when he saw his two sons coming out, he happily raised his hands and waved them so that they could be more easily seen.

"Dad, I feel okay, not tired." Zhao Shisheng said with a smile.

"I felt like sitting on pins and needles. I wasn't allowed to leave after I finished writing and had to sit there. It was so boring." As soon as Zhao Shihui came out, he jumped around like a monkey that had been let out.

His feet were numb from sitting in there.

"Be patient, there's still tomorrow." Wang Haiming said with a smile.

"Yes, be patient. It's tomorrow. After the exam, go back and ask your mother to kill a sheep for you." Zhao Guocheng grinned.

"Really? Are you willing to give it up?" Zhao Shihui's eyes lit up.

"You have to be willing to give it up. You've worked so hard, so let's treat it as a reward. Let's go back," Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.

Wang Haiming also nodded and smiled. These two children are quite obedient.

Tietou and Jinbao cannot take the exam because they haven't reached the required level yet. They will probably need to study for another two to three years.

After all, Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui were enlightened earlier.

When they returned to the shop, Mrs. Yang had already prepared the food and was waiting for them. Today there was pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, braised fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork belly, and some stir-fried dishes, a full table of food.

After Zhao Shisheng and his friend came back, they were quite touched to see so many delicious meals. Not to mention that these must have been bought by their father, they both made up their minds to do well in the exam and not let their parents down and their grandfather's teachings.

After dinner, Zhao Shihui wanted to find his younger sister, but was stopped by Zhao Guocheng.

Because Zhao Shiying was already asleep.

Zhao Shihui had no choice but to return to his room to review.

The next day, when Zhao Shihui and Zhao Shisheng came out, Zhao Guocheng booked a private room at Fumanlou. He was determined to invite his father-in-law to have a meal at Fumanlou this time.

"Why go to such an expensive place? Wouldn't it be better to go back to the store and eat?" Wang Haiming frowned. This son-in-law was spending money recklessly.

"Dad, that's different. The food at home is home-cooked, while the food at Fu Man Lou is exquisite and delicious. You said you helped me and Rong Hua so much and taught the two children so well. What's wrong with me treating you to a meal at Fu Man Lou? I have already booked a private room, so please don't be polite. It's a good opportunity for the children to see the world."

Zhao Guocheng said this on purpose. After all, his family had eaten at Fumanlou before, and some of the ingredients were provided by their Zhao’s workshop.

"Okay, this won't happen again." Wang Haiming said with a smile. Although he said this, he was still very happy in his heart. This son-in-law is tactful and there is no father-in-law who doesn't like a son-in-law who is willing to spend money on him.

Only if the son-in-law is more generous can he please his father-in-law. Besides, Wang Haiming has only two children, Wang Ronghua and Wang Yueshan. Wang Yueshan is busy with the imperial examinations and has not yet started a family. The eldest daughter's children are like his own grandchildren. When people get old, they like to have children around them. He likes his son-in-law and grandson to be close to him.

So the children happily followed them to Fumanlou.

Manager Wang was not at home this time, and he was said to be back in the afternoon. Zhao Guocheng had no choice but to eat alone with his family. He had wanted to invite Manager Wang to dine with him this time, but it seems he will have to do it next time.

"Grandpa, how many times have you come here to eat?" Zhao Shiying looked at the surrounding layout and found that her grandfather was also looking.

"It should be the third time, but it's not many times anyway." Wang Haiming said with a smile.

"Yeah, did you come with your uncle?" Zhao Shiying blinked.

"Once, your uncle was willing to spend money on food, but I didn't. I would rather eat at a small restaurant outside than come in here. It's too expensive. Last time, your uncle spent three taels of silver on a meal."

Wang Haiming spoke the following words softly because Wang Haiming and Zhao Shiying were sitting next to each other.

"Hehehe~~~" Zhao Shiying was amused.

Wang Haiming was puzzled.

"Grandpa, don't worry. You can come and eat here boldly in the future. I promise that I won't let you pay. I have agreed on a monthly settlement with Manager Wang. I will pay for your meals, and then grandpa can eat more. Don't be reluctant. Nannan will earn a lot of money for you to spend." Zhao Shiying's ability to please others and act cute is unmatched.

Zhao Shimin, Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui were simply stunned. The little sister was such a flatterer that she flattered her grandfather to the point of touching him.

"Hahaha...Okay, from now on, Nannan will pay for grandpa's pocket money. Don't say it's too expensive." Wang Haiming said happily.

"No, no, plus my grandmother's things are not expensive, so I'm happy with it. If I can't make this little money, I wouldn't be myself." Zhao Shiying was very confident.

"Good job. For the sake of my grandfather's future food, come, let me have a drink with you." Wang Haiming grinned, as if he had found a good friend.

The juice in Zhao Shiying's cup was fruit juice. Not to mention, this juice was particularly delicious. It was probably a mixture of several kinds of fruits, which was children's favorite. Zhao Shiying took this opportunity to drink several cups with her grandfather.

Finally, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the completion of the exam for Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui.

During the meal, we talked a lot, ate a lot of food, and drank a lot of wine.

Wang Haiming was a little drunk, and finally everyone went back to the store together. Wang Haiming was helped by Zhao Guocheng to go back to the room to rest.

After finishing the old ones, you have to deal with the young ones.

Several children were urged to wash up and go to bed.

After waking up the next day, having a simple breakfast and explaining everything to Mrs. Yang and Old Man Yang, the Zhao family drove the ox cart back to Guxian Village.

Wang Haiming also came to Guxian Village. It would take a few days after the exam before he could go to the county to see the results.

Wang Haiming must go home, but it’s okay for him to stay at his daughter’s house for one night.

After lunch, before taking a rest, Grandpa Tai took the children to the back mountain.

Having not practiced for several days, Grandpa Tai felt that everyone must be very unfamiliar with each other. In the county town, he was a transparent person, but it was different when he returned home. His presence was equivalent to that of a master, but in the county, he was a transparent person.

Because he knew nothing about business, he just followed the little guy and looked around.

Wang Haiming was still curious as to why he disappeared right after dinner.

"Dad, don't worry about them. They went to the back mountain to practice martial arts." Wang Ronghua said with a smile.

"Oh, have the children made any progress in martial arts recently?" Wang Haiming was still very concerned.

"I think so. I didn't ask much about her normally, and even if I did, I would always hear her talking about training. But Nannan is so young and has been able to hunt wild boars and goats. I think she has made great progress," said Wang Ronghua.
