Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

The small vegetable garden in the yard is growing very well. The cucumbers and beans are full of fruits. The pepper trees and eggplant trees are growing juicy peppers and eggplants. There are also two rows of green onions. There is also a pumpkin vine climbing on the wall with a small pumpkin on it.

Tomorrow is the day Xiuwen will go to the college for the entrance exam, and it is also Xiuwen’s first exam. I got up very early and after making breakfast, I wanted to make something that I could take to the examination room to eat. The three-day and two-night exam is not easy. I heard that some people with weaker physical foundations will faint directly in it.

I bought onions, pork, garlic, noodles, and eggs. I mixed the flour and eggs and put them together to ferment. After fermentation, I steamed it and roasted it slightly in a pan. After it was done, I packed it and put it aside. I used the vegetable oil I bought two days ago to fry the noodles one by one, dried them, and made a bowl of instant noodles. I chopped the onions and blanched a few scallion pancakes. Then I fried the meat with dried chilies and added garlic. At that time, a bowl of instant noodles, plus the pork sauce, can also supplement some nutrition. Then I ran to the pastry shop and bought two pastries. If it is really inconvenient, pastries can also fill your stomach.

The food was almost ready, so I stuffed him with a thin blanket and a piece of clothing. This way he wouldn't be afraid of catching a cold when he rested.

After preparing these things, a day was almost over. In the evening, Xiuwen and Qiwen returned to the courtyard in the afterglow of the sunset. After being influenced by the school for a period of time, the young boy seemed to be more and more calm and confident.

When she saw what I had prepared, she touched it and said to me, "Thank you, mother. I won't let you down."

I didn't know what to say. I was just like a modern mother sending her child to an exam. I was anxious and nervous, expecting and hoping, but also afraid of adding to the child's pressure.

"Xiu Wen, the purpose of studying is to make you more aware of what you want. It helps you to be more reasonable, to have rules and regulations for doing things. You don't need to feel any pressure, just like you usually do in exams. Just do your best."

"Mother, I'm not nervous. Master Chen said that I have learned almost everything I need to learn. As long as I don't make mistakes on the spot, I will be very confident. Mother, just relax."

The next day, Xiaobao and I sent Xiuwen to the gate of Gongyuan and watched the students who came to take the exam line up one by one to enter. There were people checking at the gate, probably because they were afraid that someone would cheat!

Once these students go in, they will not be able to come out until the evening of the day after tomorrow.

After Xiuwen finished the inspection, he looked back at Xiaobao and me, stepped over the threshold, walked in, and gradually disappeared behind the door.

There were no more people waiting at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, so Xiaobao and I turned around and went back to our little house. If we just waited, it would be very hard to endure the days, so I decided to see if there were any shops on the street that could sell food. I planned to buy a shop and make hot and sour noodles to sell in winter.

It will also be an income at that time. This town has a lot of people coming and going. I heard Brother He and his friends chatting that day. The official road of this town used to be a very large commercial center in the city. Many people would pass by the town. There are still many people who stop to eat.

The few acres of sweet potato fields at home are growing very well now. When they are harvested, they can be made into sweet potato flour and sold in my own store.

After sending Xiaobao home to read, I walked around the street twice and decided to ask Brother He and his family for help. If it weren't for Brother He and his family's help, I wouldn't have been able to buy the house so cheaply last time.

I knocked on Brother He's door, and Sister He was very happy to see me. The cooperation between the two of us has made Sister He's money box much fatter. Last time when we settled the bill, Brother He also bought Sister He a silver hairpin. The couple's life is getting better and better. Sister He's face is always smiling.

I told Brother He that I wanted to buy a shop. The couple agreed and asked me to listen to them and ask for help in a few days.

A few days passed, and it was time for the Imperial Examination Hall to open. Xiaobao and I were waiting at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall early. Xiaobao even bought a few of his favorite meat buns and put them in his arms, saying that he would wait for Xiuwen to come out to give them to him. In order to prevent him from being hungry, he also thoughtfully filled a pot of water and held it in his hand. I laughed, but I was also touched by Xiaobao, so I let him go.

As the door creaked open, students slowly walked out, some looking dejected, some beaming, some staggering, and some stumbling.

Xiu Wen also walked out slowly with the crowd. After a few days and nights, he looked fine. Although he was a little tired, he had a smile on his face. Seeing this, my heart was at ease.

Xiaobao rushed over like a little cannonball and took the bun out of his arms:

Brother, are you tired? Come and eat quickly, Xiaobao specially saved it for you. This is hot water, brother, take a bite of the bun, and drink some hot water to moisten your throat. The dog's legs look warm and funny.

Xiu Wen took the bun, took a bite, drank a sip of water, and finished the bun in two or three bites. He put his arm around his brother's shoulders and rubbed his head.

The buns Xiaobao gave me are the most delicious. Thank you Xiaobao, let’s go back.

I got home and fetched some hot water for him to wash up. After dinner, I didn't ask any questions and sent Xiuwen to bed to recover his energy.

When the results were announced, Xiaobao went to see them early. I thought about it and bought some candy on the street.

As soon as I bought the things, Xiaobao came running over and said, "Mom, mom, my brother is on the list, and he's number one."

Soon, the official who brought the good news came over, and it was now completely confirmed. I happily wrapped a red envelope with two taels of silver and sent it to the official who delivered the letter.

The messenger took the silver with a smile and spoke kindly as if it was free of charge.

When the neighbors on both sides heard this, they all came over to congratulate me. I took out the wedding candies and distributed them to everyone. I chatted with the neighbors for a while before closing the gate.
