The pork elbow was already cold and would not drip oil, so Cheng Yue wrapped it in oil paper and put it back in the basket before taking it out and handing it to Taoist Xuan Huai.

"There is a lucky charm in the box. Put it in a red cloth bag and carry it with you."

Taoist Xuan Huai took the basket and was about to leave, but turned around and said something more. He said that the couple didn't look smart, and what if they didn't know how to use it and wasted his talisman paper?

Cheng Yue realized immediately that this was referring to the gift he brought when he came. "Thank you, Master!"

In the past, she had always been of the mindset that it was better to believe it than not to believe it. And with her own experience of traveling through time, she became even more awed by metaphysics.

Taoist Xuanhuai nodded barely audibly, turned around, and walked briskly down the mountain in a few steps.

The whole family stood at the gate and watched Taoist Xuan Huai leave. As soon as he left, Wu immediately pulled Cheng Yue aside and asked, "My daughter, the master was talking about Xiao Jun just now, right?

I haven't even finished asking the question, how did he know who I was asking? And the intention was good, right? "

She was embarrassed to ask again just now because her daughter winked at her. Otherwise, the question was ambiguous and she would have to ask one more question.

The master's style was to predict the future. Cheng Yue patted her mother's hand and said, "Yes, don't worry, the master is talking about Xiaojun.

What I mean is, as long as Xiaojun sticks to his original intention, he will definitely have a better future! "

Fortunately, she said nice things, so her parents, brother and sister-in-law felt relieved after hearing them. If she had said something bad, she really didn't know how they would react.

Mrs. Wu was delighted when she heard this. She felt relieved!

Xiaojun has been a sensible child since he was young, he is kind-hearted and knows how to be grateful. Apart from anything else, he can definitely do it by sticking to his original intention!

Father Cheng was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. "It seems that Xiaojun is lucky. As long as he doesn't slack off and works hard, he will definitely have a bright future!"

Studying has always been a regret in his heart, but Cheng Jun has shown great interest in learning since he was a child, so he turned his attention to his grandson.

It would be fine if Cheng Jun didn't have this talent, he wouldn't force it. After all, this was his own dream and no one was responsible for realizing it for him.

But Cheng Jun happened to be talented, so they were willing to do their best to support him, just hoping that he could live a better life without any regrets.

Cheng Yang and Liu took a deep breath and said, "I hope Xiao Jun will live up to all the hard work he put in over the years."

It was not only Cheng Jun who had to study hard, but also Cheng's father and Wu. If it wasn't for supporting Jun's studies, how could they live frugally? At such an old age, they still had to find a way to make money?

As grandparents, Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Wu are able to do this, which is really a blessing for Xiaojun and even more so for them.

Uncle Cheng Er and Uncle Cheng San were also delighted. "Xiaojun is much better at studying than his elder brother was. He will definitely be able to do it!"

If they can pass the exam, it will be a great honor for the family! As grandfathers, they will be so proud!

Uncle Wu laughed out loud and said, "It looks like our family is going to have a scholar!"

My aunt rolled her eyes in disdain, "What? There is a juren above the scholar! I think you only know the scholar!"

Uncle Wu touched his head and said, "Really? Then take the imperial examination! Haha!"

My aunt said she didn't want to talk, she didn't understand anything, was like a fool, and just believed whatever others said.

After being interrupted by Uncle Wu and Auntie, Father Cheng and the others were not so excited. "Although the master has a promising future, the most important thing is to work hard! We have no say in this matter, it all depends on him!"

Although Cheng Jun has passed the county examination, there are still prefectural and academy examinations to come. It is already extremely difficult to pass the examination to become a scholar, let alone a juren. How many people can pass the examination among a hundred?

Uncle Wu nodded, "That's right. Our several villages combined have never produced a scholar. Brother-in-law, you are already very impressive as a student!"

Although he knew nothing about studying, he had heard people talk about how many people went crazy due to failing the exams, not to mention those who took the exams until they were old. One can imagine how difficult it was.

Thinking of this, my uncle suddenly got inspired and said, "Don't put too much pressure on your children! If they pass the exam, they can take it. If they fail, it's okay. But you can't push your children to have problems."

Cheng Yang said: "Don't worry, uncle! We won't. Anyway, we have food and drink now, and we are not afraid of having trouble making a living. We don't have to make him achieve anything great.

Xiaojun himself is open-minded. He is not the kind of person who gets stuck in a rut. Even if he fails the exam, it doesn’t matter. He can get over it slowly!"

"That's good. Xiaojun is a good kid! As long as he understands it!"

The aunt laughed at him, "You are such a rough guy, but you are so considerate. You should stop worrying about it. The children are more calculative than us!"

Uncle Wu chuckled a few times, "Of course! Oh, let's not talk about this, Yue girl, we should go back too. It will be too late if we don't leave now."

Dalinggou is far away, so they set out before dawn in the morning and it took them nearly two hours to reach Houshui Village. If they go back now, it will be evening before they get home.

Father Cheng also said: "It's time for us to go too. It's just right that we came together so let's go together!

My daughter, take your time to clean up the house, we will be going back first!

Although we didn’t collect herbs today, we are really happy to see such a nice new house here! ”

It's already this late, and I'm still thinking about medicinal herbs. I really can't stay idle all day.

Cheng Yue originally wanted to let them stay for a day, but it seemed impossible. The medicinal herbs were more important than her!

"Well, take the food from the kitchen with you before you go. I'll have your son-in-law pull a bullock cart to take you there later!"

Uncle Wu and his aunt refused again and again, "No, no! It's not that far, we can get home in half a day, you should move today and clean up the house!"

They must have gone to deliver the goods because they lived far away. This is so inappropriate. They saved themselves the effort, but Chen An would be late when he returned home!

Second Uncle Cheng and Third Uncle Cheng also disagreed, but it was hard to say. It was obvious at a glance that Cheng Yue mainly wanted to send off the uncles from the Wu family. They were not far away and were just a side trip.

"It's still early now. A bullock cart is always faster than walking. We'll be back in time for dinner! Ah Yue, go serve the food. I'll go pull the bullock cart now!"

After Chen An finished speaking, he went to the cowshed next door. Uncles and aunts of the Wu family couldn't say anything when they saw this. If they didn't agree, the situation would be deadlocked.

The whole family had no choice but to follow Cheng Yue into the kitchen. The second aunt suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "Oh! I forgot something! Yue girl, we still have the things you took away last time. I wanted to bring them back to you this time, but I forgot when I went out this morning!"

Cheng Yue thought something had happened, but she just laughed when she heard it. "Second aunt, that's for you, just keep it for yourself. Besides, it's not from me, it's from my mother!"

Mrs. Wu continued, "Second sister-in-law, you are so startled! You should eat and use what you need, otherwise you may end up in the stomach of a rat!"

Cheng Yue looked at her. Why did this sound so familiar? She even used her rhetoric?

"That's right. Let's go back and eat it. Don't let the mice get away with it. When we make some money, we'll give you a return gift during the New Year!"

The aunts chuckled and almost forgot that they would be able to afford to return the gifts in the future!

Cheng Yue packed the food for them respectively. The family went out and talked for a few more words before being sent home by Chen An in a ox cart.
