The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

With the help of the villagers, the two brothers finally succeeded in harvesting and threshing the rice. After looking around, Su Lun noticed that there were still some mung beans left at home. It was a hot summer, and there were no air conditioners or fans available at this time, so mung bean soup naturally became the only choice to cool down.

Su Lun immediately washed the mung beans and cooked a large pot of mung bean porridge. After it cooled down a little, he poured all the remaining sugar in the pot into the porridge without hesitation, and then left it aside to cool down completely. Not only that, he also boiled some eggs for later use; then he cut the big watermelon given by the children yesterday into several pieces.

After everything was ready, Su Lun began to distribute these delicacies to everyone present: a bowl of green bean paste, an egg and a large piece of watermelon. You know, in such a special period, ordinary families would save up the eggs laid by their own chickens and sell them in the town for money. Who would squander them like this? Therefore, everyone said that it was difficult to accept this generous gift and repeatedly refused it, saying that they would never accept it.

Seeing this, Su Zheng quickly stepped forward and said, "Dear friends, please do not refuse. Please accept it! During this busy farming season, I am deeply grateful for your hard work in coming to help me. Any words of thanks would be too insignificant. Only this can express my gratitude! If you insist on refusing, I will lose face and will not be able to call myself a gentleman anymore!"

After hearing this, the villagers reluctantly accepted the eggs. However, they were reluctant to eat them immediately. Instead, they planned to carefully store them for their children to enjoy in the future.

In this slightly backward era, white sugar was scarce and precious. Ordinary families were reluctant to buy it unless necessary, let alone use it to make desserts such as mung bean paste. For these hardworking farmers, this simple bowl of mung bean paste made them feel unprecedented sweetness. After tasting it, they expressed their gratitude to the Su brothers and said goodbye politely to return home.

"Brother, these villagers are so enthusiastic." Su Lun looked at Su Zheng and said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, when I first decided to teach those children to read and write, I actually had some selfish motives. At that time, we had just moved back to the village, my mother was weak, and you were in that situation. I was worried that you and your son would be bullied, so I thought that if I could do something for the villagers and show them kindness, maybe they would treat our family well. After thinking about it, the only thing I could do was to teach for free. But I never expected that they would treat me so sincerely in the end. Every time I think of this, my heart is filled with guilt."

"Brother, don't think like that. From now on, we just need to put more effort into the children's studies. Now that I have recovered, I can also lend you a helping hand." Su Lun comforted his brother.

"What Allen said is absolutely right. If Allen is lucky enough to pass the imperial examination and has the opportunity to serve as an official in the future, he must not forget to take care of the folks in Sujia Village!" Su Zheng said earnestly.

Su Lun naturally understood that Su Zheng had high hopes for him, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will do my best."

However, Su Lun was not as calm as he appeared to be. In fact, he did not have much expectation for the upcoming imperial examination. The reason was simple. The timing of his transmigrating to this world was too unfortunate. There were only two months left before he turned eighteen, and the provincial examination happened to be held half a month before his birthday. What was worse was that he had not yet officially enrolled in school, so he was not qualified to take the exam.

Even so, relying on the remaining memories of the original owner and his solid foundation as an excellent student in his previous life, Su Lun was not completely without confidence to give it a try. However, the times are different now, and the knowledge and skills taught in modern society are far from those required for the ancient imperial examinations. Even if he really took part in this exam, it would be difficult for him to succeed in one fell swoop.

After thinking it over, Su Lun found that there seemed to be only one way for him to go - that is to join the army. Although his body was already extremely tired after a whole day of hard work, Su Lun did not stop improving and honing his physical fitness.

As night fell, after dinner, Su Lun and his brother Su Zheng packed up the food and dried vegetables drying in the yard and moved them into the house to prevent the sudden rain from getting these precious rations wet. After everything was packed up and he said goodbye to his brother, Su Lun's evening training began.

Like in the morning, he first jogged five laps around the courtyard, followed by a hundred standard push-ups, and finally half an hour of horse stance practice. After completing a series of movements, Su Lun felt his legs trembling, and even had difficulty standing. Obviously, this body that had not been fully exercised for a long time could not withstand such high-intensity exercise!

Su Lun originally planned to continue practicing boxing routines, but after a little thought, he finally decided to give up the idea. After all, everything should be done in moderation. If you continue to force yourself to practice, you may not even be able to get out of bed tomorrow. In view of this, Su Lun thinks it is safer to follow the principle of gradual progress. In the next week, you should first use easy jogging as the main training method, focusing on strengthening your physical reserve. After your body adapts to a certain intensity, you can gradually increase the difficulty of training.

As for how to improve my martial arts, I will have plenty of time to practice after I join the army! I just don't know if there are any legendary martial arts masters in this world! If such a person really exists, then my current ability is probably not enough! Thinking of this, Su Lun's thoughts became more and more scattered, and he went further and further away... At this moment, his body was already occupied by extreme fatigue, and he was even too lazy to change his clothes, and fell asleep like this.

Su Zheng, who was outside the house, noticed that the candlelight in Su Lun's room had not been extinguished, but there was no sound inside. So he knocked on the door gently, but received no response. He could not help but worry about his brother, fearing that something might happen, so he carefully pushed the door open and walked into the room. When he got closer, he saw his brother lying on the bed with his clothes on, breathing very slowly and regularly. It turned out that he had fallen asleep due to overwork. Looking at his sleeping brother in front of him, Su Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, feeling helpless and distressed. He gently picked up the thin blanket beside him and carefully covered his brother, then slowly walked out of the room and closed the door.
