I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times

Cai started kneading the dough and steaming the buns, while Jiang Yue was responsible for cutting the meat.

The chef brought his own big iron pot and built two large stoves in the yard. One of the stoves was already lit to steam pig blood.

By the time Cai had finished kneading the dough, Jiang Yue had already cleaned out the whole pig, including strips, chunks, shreds, and a pile of meat and bones.

The woman in charge of cooking was amazed. This girl could support the whole family. She heated the oil and prepared the fried food first. In this weather, the food would not go bad.

The next day, the sky was cloudless.

It happened to be a school break, so there was no need to ask for leave. Jiang Ming was busy preparing the banquet. Jiang Xue and Jiang Lei, who were still young, were responsible for looking after the host family to make sure those villains didn't take the opportunity to cause trouble.

As noon approached, villagers began to come to Jiang Youshan's house one after another. They brought their own tools, some carrying tables, and some carrying stools.

When a banquet is held in the village, most people bring their own tables and chairs and eat other people's food, which is very conscious.

The yard is big enough to accommodate everything. We came early and drank a big bowl of sweet water. There were also people walking around the yard, looking at the dogs and pigs, looking very curious.

Everyone in the village came, except for one family, the Jiang family.

Across two courtyard walls, the sizzling aroma of oil wafted into the Jiang family’s house.

Mrs. Liu had a dark face, and Old Man Jiang also looked unhappy.

The three families stayed in their rooms and didn't come out. I don't know what they were doing.

Jiang Youfang was also hunting in the house. She was afraid that her mother would see her saliva. The smell of meat had never ceased from yesterday afternoon until now. I heard that they had slaughtered a whole fat pig. How much meat should there be?

She was craving for meat. She hadn't eaten meat since her marriage. She would have stopped doing so long ago, but Liu said that she could save some money and give it to her, so she stopped making a fuss. Fortunately, she was still able to get eggs every day.

If the family had not divided up, she would have eaten the wild boar, as well as the roe deer, wild deer, pheasants, and hares she had eaten before... If they were converted into silver, how much more would she have given as a dowry?

The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. She no longer had the heart to do her embroidery, so she simply lay down on the kang and went to sleep.

Li's words were not nice. He had money but didn't help his nephew build a house. He even pretended to let them use the stones as they pleased.

The stones were all in the wild, so close to the mountain that if you walked a few steps you would find all kinds of stones, and you would also have to rely on human help.

Jiang Youtian said to the children, "Let's all go to your uncle's house for a feast."

Li was furious when she heard this: "It's just a few bites of meat. Is it worth embarrassing?"

Jiang Youtian glared at her: "Didn't you hear what the village chief said yesterday!"

Li suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean... you want to go?"

Jiang Youtian quickly scolded her: "Still yelling, let them hear you, you are the only one making a fuss."

Li half covered her mouth and whispered, "You are afraid that they will hear you, so you still go to his house..."

Jiang Youtian was so angry that he slammed the table: "Let me tell you clearly, your Third Uncle is a bottomless pit, and the hole has to be filled every year! Our family has to earn private property now."

Li stopped making a fuss. In her eyes, those two families had bad intentions long ago, and now there was another thing: they were fighting for the family property.

Jiang Changshun asked, "Dad, do you think Third Uncle can pass the exam?"

Jiang Youtian opened his mouth. The third brother had made connections to take the exam for the scholar, but until now, the results have not been announced yet? Even if he passed the exam to become a scholar, he couldn't become an official without spending money to bribe people. But where was his family with money? Even if he passed the exam to become a scholar, he couldn't become an official.

Jiang Changshun understood that his third uncle had no hope.

Jiang Changli's expression turned hateful, and he gritted his teeth: "My brother and I will go right away."

It is obvious that his grandparents are partial to one another, and his family may get nothing in the end. He can go and earn it himself, but - what belongs to him must not be given to others.

Jiang Changli pulled his brother out of the door, and Jiang Zhi followed, holding Jiang Changhe's hand.

Mrs. Fan came to visit later and asked, "Sister-in-law, where is the child?"

Li didn't respond, and only asked, "Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, why are you still worrying about her? Why don't you just stay in the house and take care of her?"

Because of her face, Fan turned and left.

Seeing the four children coming in, Jiang Youshan greeted them with a smile and arranged for the children to sit together.

Someone was surprised: "Changshun, why are you guys here?"

Seeing her brother's embarrassment, Jiang Zhi hurriedly said, "We are here to help."

Someone immediately laughed: "Then why did you sit down?"

Jiang Zhi blushed immediately, and the three children also thought it was ugly.

Jiang Ming happened to pass by with a plate, and when he saw Jiang Changshun, his eyes turned and he said, "Changshun, Changli, are you here? Come over and give me a hand."

The call was impolite and the order was given as a matter of course. The two had stiff faces but were grateful in their hearts.

The brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xue heard this and looked over here. Her eyes lit up and she shouted loudly, "Jiang Zhi, come and help."

Jiang Zhi had never been so grateful to Jiang Xue in his heart. He said something to his brother and ran to find Jiang Xue. Jiang Changli told Jiang Changhe: "Brother, go and help. Changhe, don't sit here by yourself. Jiang Lei is there. Go and sit with him."

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled. That's great. They really came. Only one family came.

Jiang Changping ran into the second room and said, "Dad and Mom, my elder brothers Changli, Changhe and Zhier have all gone to Jiang Ming's house for a feast. Let's go too. If we're late, the food will be eaten up and we won't get anything."

Qian stood up excitedly: "Did you really go? You're just trying to show your support to someone who doesn't care? You're an ungrateful person. I'll go talk to your grandmother and scold them to death."

Jiang Changping yelled in dissatisfaction: "Mom, aren't we going to eat?"

"What do you want to eat? Which one of them can we eat? They are just eating from the inside out."

Qian just walked out. Since she couldn't get any of the food, no one else could have it either.

Jiang Youcai stopped her, "You are so stupid. If you go and tell me now, won't my mother be angry with you? Didn't you see Fan went to the first room and went back to the third room? If you want to sue her, why don't you go and sue her? You are the only one who is looking for trouble."

Qian snorted, then sat back down and rubbed her belly, "You vixen, you almost got tricked. I won't go looking for trouble."

Jiang Youcai secretly scolded, "Silly woman."

Jiang Changping's eyebrows twisted into knots: "Are you going or not? Or - ah?"

thump thump...

Jiang Changping ran out of the house. How did he hear the sound of gongs and drums? And they were getting closer?

"Dad, Mom, come out and see, an official has come to our house, and he has brought a big red silk with him."

The yard was suddenly in an uproar. Jiang Changguang was the first to come out. He saw that they were indeed four officials draped in red silk, beating gongs and drums, with joyful faces, which was very different from the serious appearance they usually had on the street.

I got it, I really got it.

Jiang Youguang's mood was like a drop of mercury falling into an oil pan, crackling and exploding.

Liu rushed out, followed by Jiang Youfang, and behind her came Fan who was holding her belly. Finally, it was old man Jiang who came out.

Old man Jiang was very excited. He had been waiting for this for decades and finally it came true.

I just felt my legs and feet go weak, as if I was walking on cotton. I struggled to the gate and heard the official say that his son had passed the test.

This excited heart finally settled down, and he would be willing to die immediately.

No, he still wants to be the official's proud master, and he has to live well.

Liu ran back and took out the money bag. She gave a handful of copper coins to each person and called Jiang Youfang to bring fruit to the official. These were all prepared in advance. Jiang Youguang said that he would definitely win. As expected, he won.

As expected, the youngest son is the most promising, and her love for him is not in vain.

Old man Jiang personally brought a bundle of firecrackers wrapped in red paper and lit them, making a crackling sound that was very lively.
