Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Han Zheng didn't want to talk to this seemingly unruly classmate, but he also didn't want to make enemies on the first day, so he temporarily put down the brush and said, "I'm not."

"Then how did you get in?"

"take an exam."

Qin Siran: "Is it the examination paper for the Tongsheng class or the Xiucai class?"

Han Zheng looked at Qin Siran with a look of idiocy, "Of course it's the exam paper for the scholar class."

After asking, Qin Siran realized that his question was too stupid. He coughed, licked his lips, and pretended nothing happened. "Have you ever been to school before?"

"Learned."

"Then why don't you take the Tongsheng exam?"

This person had too many questions, and Han Zheng didn't want to answer them, but everyone around him was waiting for the answer, so he had to continue: "Something happened at home, so I didn't take the exam. If you have any objections to my admission to the scholar class, you can talk to the teacher. He personally wrote the questions for my exam and also graded them himself."

Qin Siran didn't dare to look for Shen Xiucai because of this problem. He laughed dryly and said, "If I believe it, we will be classmates in the future and take care of each other!"

Han Zheng nodded calmly.

The school does not provide accommodation and classes end at 6:50 pm (4:30 pm).

Han Zheng was afraid that Li Yu would worry if he returned late, so he left quickly after school. However, he was not that fast, and it was completely dark when he got home.

The aroma of meat wafted in the air around the courtyard. Behind the half-open door, Han Xiaomei was sitting on a small stool peeling potatoes. Li Yu's voice could be heard from the kitchen. Everything was so warm and beautiful.

Han Zheng raised the corner of his mouth, pushed open the door and said, "Second sister-in-law, Xiaomei, I'm back."

Li Yu heard Han Zheng's voice, responded, and after finishing the work in his hands, he asked: "How was your day in school today? Were you able to keep up with the lessons? Did you get along well with your classmates? Were you tired?"

Han Zheng put down the book, looked into Li Yu's eyes and answered seriously: "The school is good, everyone takes good care of me, I can keep up with the courses, and I am not tired at all."

"That makes me feel relieved." Li Yu smiled, "You can take a rest first. We will have dinner in a quarter of an hour."

Han Zheng hummed, poured water to wash his hands, then carried a stool and sat next to Han Xiaomei to help her peel potatoes.

When it was completely dark, the family sat together to have dinner.

After dinner, Han Zheng reviewed his books while Han Xiaomei continued to stew meat with Li Yu. The family had money now, so Li Yu bought a whole pot of lamp oil, and Han Zheng could read whenever he wanted.

Of course, Li Yu would not let him stay up too late. As a student who has studied in modern times for more than ten years, she is well aware of the impact of lack of sleep on learning. She would never let Han Zheng overdraw his health for the sake of studying and do something that puts the cart before the horse.

The three of them were busy with their own things, waiting for the braised meat to be cooked. Li Yu measured the height and measurements of Han Xiaomei and Han Zheng for making clothes.

Han Xiaomei was full of expectations for the new clothes and completely cooperated with Li Yu, stretching out her hands when asked and puffing out her chest when asked.

Compared with her, Han Zheng seemed a little stiff.

It's not that Han Zheng didn't cooperate, but Li Yu was too close to him. As a native of ancient times, he was taught the differences between men and women since childhood. Han Zheng couldn't be as comfortable as Han Xiaomei.

Li Yu didn't expect this. She just thought Han Zheng was not used to measuring his measurements, so she quickly measured him and let it go.

"You should eat more in the future." Li Yu reminded them while writing down their data. In the ancient times, people were not as good as modern people. If they could not eat well, they would not be that tall. For example, Han Zheng was only 1.5 meters tall at the age of 12. If he did not eat more, he would not be able to grow to 1.7 meters.

She did not discriminate against people of short stature, but she also wanted Han Zheng to grow taller. For a man, a taller stature is better.

At the end of the Xu hour (nine o'clock in the evening), except for the light in Li Yu's yard, the rest of the village was dark.

Li Yu put out the fire, locked the kitchen door, yawned, and went into the house to sleep.

In the east room, Han Zheng heard that there was no movement in Li Yu's room, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long I slept, but suddenly, I heard the sound of something falling outside.

Han Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside.

It was clearly night, but there was a faint light outside the window. Han Zheng thought of a possibility, slowly lifted the quilt, and got up from the bed.

yard.

Two men stood stealthily at the kitchen door, trying to unlock it.

"It's really troublesome to lock the door of a kitchen." A male voice sounded in the dark. Han Zheng's ears couldn't help but move when he heard it.

This voice was very familiar, it was the voice of Li Dali that he had heard before. He didn't expect that this person had not given up yet and actually thought of causing trouble at night.

We can't let him succeed!

Han Zheng left the window and groped his way to the main room in the dark. He found the wooden stick placed in the room for self-defense according to his memory, then held on to the wall and slowly walked to the door.

Han Zheng intended to use this to scare away Li Dali and the unknown person, but as soon as his hand touched the bolt, he was stopped.

"Don't move, I'll do it." Li Yu said in a low voice.

Han Zheng was frightened by her, and after reacting, he said, "They may have knives, sister-in-law, I will beat them."

Li Yu smiled and said, "They have knives, and so do I." She had a habit of being prepared for danger, so even if she had a wooden stick, she would still put the knife by her side before going to bed every night, just in case.

Han Zheng looked at her. Although he couldn't see anything in the dark, he felt a surge of courage flowing from his heart to his limbs.

He was not afraid at all.

"I'll go with my second sister-in-law." Han Zheng said, "There are two of them, and I can handle one."

Having more people does provide more insurance, so Li Yu stopped trying to stop him.

Carefully bringing the door bar, Li Yu said "start". Han Zheng held his breath and opened the door little by little. When there was enough space for one person to pass through, Li Yu rushed out with a knife in hand.

The main room door was only a few steps away from the kitchen door. Li Yu ran over quickly and swung a knife at Li Dali's arm before Li Dali and the man heard the sound but had no time to react.

The first two times I just scared this guy and didn't really deal with him, but he became more and more aggressive. This time I must teach him a lesson.

Li Yu was quick and dealt with Li Dali, then immediately turned to the man next to him, but the man was not as stupid as Li Dali and dodged it.

Li Yu was a little disappointed, but at this moment, a wooden stick hit the man's arm holding the machete. The man felt pain and the machete fell to the ground with a snap.

Li Yu took the opportunity to bend down and grabbed the machete.

When Li Dali saw the knife in Li Yu's hand, his eyes were red with anger. He wanted to step forward to grab it, but he was afraid of being hurt again, so he shrank back and dared not move.

Li Yu stared at him coldly, "Li Dali, you didn't remember what I said before. Since you insist on asking for trouble, I won't be polite. Don't even think about leaving tonight."

On the other side, Han Zheng used all his strength, swinging the stick hard at the unknown man. The man's right arm was injured, and his left arm was powerless, so he was in a passive position.

Seeing that Li Dali was restrained by Li Yu and his machete was gone, the man gritted his teeth, ignored the sticks falling on him, turned around and ran towards the door.
