Eating big melon is so refreshing

On February 20th, the county examination results were announced.

The melon-eating system seemed to have disappeared this morning. Xiao Chunya was helpless and could only follow her brother and old father to the county to check the list.

At 40:400 in the morning, the place where the list was posted was already packed with people. There were clearly only candidates, but for some reason there were more than people looking at the list. It turns out that no matter what time and space, Chinese people like to join in the fun.

At the entrance of the alley, a full two hundred meters away from where the notice was posted, Zhao Erlang looked a little helpless. What was the point of hiding in a carriage?

"Dad, the tea and pastries in the teahouse are too dark. It's cold sitting there. It's better to stay warm in the car." Xiao Chunya squinted her eyes and yawned. She felt sleepy and said, "We are not in a hurry. We will definitely make the list anyway."

Xiao Qiulin also said lazily, "It doesn't matter whether you look at it early or late. The list won't change. Why bother going there and crowding in? You might get stepped on by others."

That made sense. Zhao Erlang had no choice but to stay in the carriage, feeling a little sleepy as he sat there. Suddenly, he heard cheers from the crowd in the distance. The notice had been posted.

"Back off, everyone, five steps back!"

A familiar voice came, isn't this Zhao Wulang's voice? He also has a small trumpet in his hand.

"Read out the top three according to the rules!" Zhao Wulang used a loudspeaker to save energy. He read out with full energy, "First place, Lin Shaoxuan! Second place, Zhao Chunya! Third place, Zhao Qiulin!"

The sound of the small speaker could be heard from a long distance away. Xiao Chunya, who was sitting in the car, had an ugly face. Damn it, I've been the runner-up for a thousand years! Now I finally know why the melon-eating system pretended to be dead. It turns out that it knew it had become the runner-up!

Xiao Qiulin, who was standing by, shrugged and laughed secretly. He thought to himself, "What you fear is bound to happen! The label of being the runner-up for a thousand years is like a deep mark firmly etched on the fat sister's forehead. I'm afraid it will be difficult to erase at least in the next few years."

Zhao Erlang kissed his daughter's round, chubby face with a smile on his face, and said softly, "Xiaochun'er, Xiaoqiu'er, you have done such excellent results this time. You will definitely have great hope when you go to Qingzhou Prefecture to take the examination for students of higher learning in April!" There was a gleam of joy in his eyes, as if he had already seen the bright future of his children with their names on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination.

"Hahaha, I ranked 20th!" This duck-like laughter is so distinctive. You can tell it's the foodie Luo Xiaopang from a distance.

Xiao Chunya got out of the car slowly, yawning as she walked forward. "Brother, come quickly. I saw Master Zhou."

Xiao Qiulin got off the carriage swiftly and agilely. When she saw the teacher, she hid in the carriage and did not go out to greet him, which made her prone to criticism and accusations.

Master Zhou's face was beaming. He was an old scholar who failed the imperial examination and was temporarily pulled in to fill the numbers. He never expected that his students were so awesome. In the first county examination, four out of six students made it!

One is in second place, one is in third place. One is in 20th place, and one is at the bottom. The top five are basically all candidates for the title, the 20th place still has a chance to fight, and the one at the bottom has to perform exceptionally well. In general, this result is quite good.

Young Master Mingyue said that a successful student would be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. Master Zhou seemed to see a shadow waving at him. How could he not be beaming?

Mr. Zhou felt that he had good talent and that he only lacked luck. With this achievement, he could go back and chat with his old friends.

"Hello, Master."

"Good, good, good, you are all good kids. Go back to Mingyue Villa for training the day after tomorrow and strive to get better results in the prefectural exam."

"Yes, Master."

Just as Master Zhou walked away a few steps, he heard the students behind him making mischievous noises.

"Brother Sun Shan!" Xiao Chunya teased Chen Zichuan and bowed seriously.

"Second place for a thousand years!" Chen Zichuan replied with a wry smile.

"Want to fight, huh?" Xiao Chunya raised her eyebrows. She had already disliked this guy.

"Come on!" Chen Zichuan was tough on the topic and he was sure that Xiao Chunya would not dare to fight on the spot.

really

Xiao Chunya had just rolled up her sleeves when Luo Xiaopang and Xiao Qiulin went to hold her down. Damn, there are so many people watching, can you please have some shame?

"He's already ranked Sunshan, don't provoke him."

"He cursed me to be a thousand-year-old dick!"

"How about I switch with you? I like being number two, it sounds much better than number twenty!"

"Baby, don't fight." Zhao Erlang couldn't persuade his daughter and simply carried the fat girl away. At once, everyone dispersed and went back to their homes to find their mothers.

Guangning Town

Zhao Lei and Zhao Lei have changed their mood. I know that the fat sister and fat brother got the second and third place respectively in the exam. They sincerely congratulate them. The Zhao family is preparing to have two more students!

"Shall we have a buffet?" Zhao Dong suggested enthusiastically. It would be unreasonable not to celebrate after getting such good grades.

"Uncle, they will be going back to Mingyue Villa the day after tomorrow, so don't be so high-profile, just give them a chicken drumstick." Zhao Erlang lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Chuner hates the millennial runner-up the most. He even wanted to fight with his classmates after seeing the list just now."

What is the eternal second place? If his eldest grandson can be the last, he will be happy! What's wrong with being the second place? Being the second place is also earned by strength.

"Is Xiao Qiu'er even more unhappy?" This one is the third oldest and has more qualifications to be unhappy.

"That's not the case." Zhao Erlang was very surprised by the two children's thoughts. They could get first place or third place, but they just couldn't get second place!

"Old woman, kill two chickens!" Zhao Dong raised his voice, "Kill the two fattest ones!"

"Uncle, don't kill the hen that lays eggs. I bought a capon."

"Erlang, don't make trouble. It's unlucky to eat castrated chickens at the celebration banquet." Zhao Xi said seriously, "We have to kill the egg-laying chickens. Only when they lay golden eggs can we pass the imperial examination!"

Zhao Dong nodded and agreed, "I want to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar smoothly."

Zhao Erlang was dumbfounded and said, "Didn't I say I was going to take the exam for a Tongsheng?" How did I suddenly become a Xiucai? It was very stressful!

Zhao Xi slapped Zhao Erlang away and said, "What do you know? Go cool off. Qingshan is already busy as hell. Go and help him share some of the work."

This was definitely a sign of being disliked. Zhao Erlang didn't know what he had said wrong. He rubbed his nose and went out.

"Where are you two little kids going?" He was holding a red panda and carrying a backpack. Are they going up the mountain?

"Grandpa, we want to dig some bamboo for GunGun to eat."

"Be careful, Wanzi, and go up the mountain with them."

"No, we won't get lost."

"The mountains are not peaceful, I feel at ease with Wan Zi following me." Zhao Dong said, "He has been to the mountains dozens of times and knows where to find spring bamboo shoots. There are bitter and sweet bamboo shoots, and the taste is very different."

The brother and sister only knew how to eat bamboo shoots and had no idea how to distinguish between sweet and bitter bamboo shoots, so they decided to let Uncle Wanzi go up the mountain with them.
