Eating big melon is so refreshing

Guangning Town, Luo’s House.

The fat boy had a conflict with his grandfather, and he finally cut off his own palm with a knife and fainted from the pain.

Luo Xiaomei hanged herself and was dying when she was rescued.

Grandpa Luo looked ten years older in an instant, and his hair turned completely white overnight.

"The Ximen family's forbidden technique, when practiced, leads to the end of severing all feelings and love, and killing one's loved ones." Xiao Qiulin appeared quietly and silently. "Ximen Changjun, do you regret it?"

Grandpa Luo's face changed drastically. He wanted to attack but was shocked to find that he couldn't move. He looked at the 15 or 16-year-old boy, who was unfamiliar but also a little familiar. His whole body was shrouded in a black aura, and his face was very blurry.

"You...who are you?"

"Your inner demons are too strong. You are unable to break through your state of mind after entering Yunmeng Mountain, and your cultivation will only fall again and again. The defective "Yuan-boosting Pill" of the Xiao family cannot restore you to your original state at all. It will only cost you a few more years of life."

Xiao Qiulin said coldly, "In the previous life, the little fat brother and sister were tortured and killed because you ignored their abnormalities while practicing martial arts."

His figure gradually disappeared. If the fat sister who was leveling up didn't have many friends, and the fat boy was in such a predicament, he would not bother to pay attention to the old man.

The ancestors of the Ximen family and the Baili family obtained a set of exercises called "Taiyin Zhenjing" hundreds of years ago. Due to different understandings, the two families practiced in different ways. In addition to the difference in blood inheritance, the Baili family only makes people feel that they are like white snow on an iceberg; the people of the Ximen family have a shady and sinister aura of tomb robbers.

The little fat boy's biological mother committed suicide because she secretly practiced this technique. The little fat boy's uncle was mediocre in talent and could not comprehend this technique, so he escaped the disaster.

The fat boy's personality was not suitable for practicing this set of exercises, and he was still young, so his grandfather let him follow the path of a pharmacist, which turned out to be a tragedy in his life.

"The fat boy's hand is disabled?" Zhao Silang happened to be in Gaojia Village when the incident happened, and the news was blocked, so he only knew a little.

"Dr. Zhang's medical skills are superb, and the rescue was timely. He really can't use his strength in a short time." Zhao Erlang shook his head. "It's a pity for this child. After this incident, he was forced to grow up. He swore that he would never make pills again."

"Even if Xiao Yan is gone, there are still Zhang Yan and Li Yan. Anyway, the old man of the Luo family doesn't like Daqing, the third brother's family. He despises our family for being peasants." Zhao Silang curled his lips and said, "My daughter will never marry these people in the future."

"Your daughter is only one month old, okay?" Zhao Erlang rolled his eyes at his silly brother and said, "Xiaochun'er was able to find a half-come-along son-in-law, so Xiaoxue'er can follow suit, right?"

Young Master Mingyue was actually paying for it himself. He was sold by his own elder brother in front of all the civil and military officials. With such a huge dowry, Xiao Chunya made a fortune.

Why did they specially build a Guangning Zhongzhuang? It was because the Baili family had too many guards and maids, and the fat man wanted to live in Guangning Town for a long time. How could they accommodate them without building a manor?

"Fourth Brother, Xiao Qiuer said that Gaojia Village is no longer suitable for children to live in. Tell your father-in-law to try not to go back to live there."

One third of the people in Gaojia Village have already moved to Guangning Town to work or buy houses, but they are unwilling to give up the wolfberries on the hilltops and the crops in the fields and often go back to live there.

Gao Family Teahouse

Gao Yuan had no intention of giving up. Although his family only had two acres of thin land, they could produce 4000 kilograms of potatoes a year. He was reluctant to give up.

"Father-in-law, we still need to pick the wolfberries on the mountain, but don't stay overnight in Gaojia Village." Zhao Silang said, "Let's rent the two acres of land to people in the village to grow crops. First, it takes time to grow crops in the fields, and second, the business here is also very busy."

"Give Gao Dong the two acres of land to farm. His family and ours are relatives within the fifth degree of mourning. Your uncle's eight acres of land was also given to them to farm."

Gao Yuan did not choose to rent the land to others before because he felt that his family had little land and there were many people in his family, including his eldest daughter's family of four. More food would keep them from going hungry.

Gao Yuan's eldest brother's family has few people, so they rented out the family's land to others early on, and only went back to harvest the wolfberries on the mountain.

Zhao Silang had some impression of Gao Dong. He nodded and said, "Xiao Qiuer said that Uncle Gao Dong has a strong yang energy. His home is close to the entrance of the village. As long as he doesn't go out after dark, nothing will happen."

"The village is now very desolate during the day, and I feel uneasy living in the village." Gao Sanshan said whatever he wanted to say. It might be because he had been away from Gaojia Village for too long, and he felt that Gaojiazhuang was unfamiliar.

"One-third of the people work in the town and don't go back on weekdays. The village has fewer people. How can it not be desolate?" Gao Lin said while holding her fat grandson. "The elders and children don't need to go back to pick wolfberries. If they are too busy, they can hire people to pick them. Our family doesn't lack this little money now. Safety is the most important thing."

"Mom, no one has lived in our house for a long time. What if a thief breaks in?" Gao Dashan was reluctant to give up the house that he had spent a lot of effort to build.

Gao Lin said decisively, "After the first phase of the small houses are built, we will move all the things in our house out. This is why I asked you brothers to buy a house each."

Gao Sanshan blinked his eyes and said, "Mother, I thought you bought three houses for us to use as our wedding houses, but it turns out that they are used to store furniture."

"You can't even find a wife, let alone a wedding house!" Gao Lin said unhappily, "You two are eighteen this year. If you don't work hard, you will be single."

Zhao Silang did not participate in this topic. He quickly slipped away and went back to hug his fat daughter.

After the news that the little fat man mutilated one of his hands and vowed never to make elixirs again spread, the Xiao family disappeared without a trace. Who would come to them if they were of no use?

The sad atmosphere was soon dispelled by the good news from the yamen runners. The Zhao family had three students at once, which made everyone very happy.

Xiao Chunya wrote to the court, asking for the dates of the provincial and imperial examinations to be moved together to save the travel expenses, as the journey was not safe.

Therefore, after the results of the provincial examination were announced on April 15, the academy examination would be held on April 22. After all, the weather in April was much better than that in June. Many people were short of money, and it was not easy for them to go to the provincial capital, so the change in the time of the academy examination was agreed by most people.

With the price of talismans remaining high, more and more people want to have the status of a scholar, which is much better than farming or doing business. Who wouldn't want to make a huge profit?

Failing to pass the examination to become a scholar is the next best thing. Passing the examination to become a student is also good, but you definitely cannot be a commoner. By then, there will be no crops to grow and it will be difficult to do business. How can you support your family?
