A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Zhang Xingfeng was the first to jump off his father's carriage.

He ran into the yard, shouting, "Grandpa, grandma, mom, I'm back, grandpa, grandma, I'm back..."

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang were sitting in the yard and talking.

Then I heard Zhang Xingfeng's voice.

"Hey, why do I hear Xiaofeng's voice? Xiaofeng must be back!!"

Grandpa Zhang pricked up his ears and listened carefully, then said happily, "Hmm, that's Xiaofeng's voice. Xiaofeng is back."

The two men stood up and were about to go out when they saw Zhang Xingfeng running in like the wind.

"Xiaofeng, you guys are back. Are your sister and the others back too?"

"Yeah, grandma, big brother and big sister are back, and big brother Mo, brother Mo Wen and the others are here too."

"Oh, Ah Yan and the others are back too. Xiao Feng, your mother and the others are cooking in the kitchen. Go and ask them to make some more food. You must not have eaten yet after coming all the way back from the county town."

Zhang Xingfeng nodded: "Grandma, you guessed right. We wanted to come back early, so we didn't eat in town. I'll go right away."

After saying that, Zhang Xingfeng ran to the kitchen.

Grandma Zhang: "Old man, let's go outside to pick up Yueyue and the others. It's been a while since we last saw them."

"Well, go, go, go!"

"Mother, Second Aunt, we are back."

Zhu looked at Zhang Xingfeng who ran in and said, "Xiaofeng, you're back. Did your sister and the others come back with you?"

"Yeah, Second Aunt, Sister, Big Brother, and Big Brother Mo are all back together. Grandma asked me to come and tell you that we have to prepare more food now. We haven't had lunch yet, hehe!!!"

"Okay, your mother and I will cook right away. You guys wait for a moment."

"It's okay, Second Aunt, Mother, I'll go out and move the luggage first."

Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Your second aunt and I will quickly make some more food."

Zhang Xingfeng ran out of the kitchen and headed out the door.

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang just walked to the door.

The people outside the door were helping to move all the luggage from the car to the steps.

Zhang Yunyue: "Grandpa, grandma, why did you come out?"

Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "Didn't Xiao Feng rush in just now and said that you were all back? Your grandfather and I wanted to see you earlier, so we came out without waiting for you to go in."

Grandma Zhang used her elbow to signal Grandpa Zhang: "Old man, go and help them carry their luggage."

"Don't worry, I know, I know."

After saying that, Grandpa Zhang went down the stairs and went to help everyone carry their luggage.

The people who were busy beside the carriage greeted Grandpa and Grandma Zhang enthusiastically when they saw them coming out.

Mo Yan bowed to Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang as a junior: "Grandpa, Grandma, I come to disturb you again."

Grandpa Zhang: "Hey, what's the big deal? You have to come more often. The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away. You have to celebrate at home this time. You can't leave."

"Don't worry! Grandpa, Yueyue and I will stay a little longer this time and accompany you well."

"Hey, okay, okay! I'll help you carry your luggage."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Zhang Yunyue and Grandma Zhang moved the luggage on the steps to the yard.

Zhang Xingfeng ran out and saw that everyone was moving their luggage, so he also moved the luggage on the steps into the yard.

Village Chief Zhang, who was returning from the fields, passed by the door of Old Zhang's house and saw Zhang's father moving luggage beside the carriage. He said:

"Zhang Qian, you guys are back from the county town. Xiaofeng has finished his exam, right?"

"Oh, village chief, it's you, yes, we just came back from the county town, and Xiaofeng has also finished the college entrance examination.

You are carrying a hoe, are you coming back from the fields?"

"Yes, I was weeding in the fields this morning. Now it's almost noon, time for lunch."

As he spoke, he saw Zhang Xingyun and Mo Yan moving their luggage: "Hey, Xiaoyun, Mr. Mo, you guys are back too?"

Ever since Mo Yan and his family came to propose marriage last time, the villagers not only knew that the two were engaged, but later they also inadvertently found out that the owner of Tianxiang Tower was actually surnamed Mo.

Zhang Xingyun nodded and greeted the village chief: "Uncle Village Chief."

Mo Yan also nodded to Village Chief Zhang and followed Zhang Xingyun's call, "Uncle Village Chief."

Village Chief Zhang continued to talk to Zhang's father and said, "Zhang Qian, how did Xiaofeng do in the college entrance examination this time? Can he pass the exam and become a scholar?"

Village chief Zhang also hopes that Zhang Xingfeng can become the first scholar in the village. That would not only improve the reputation of the village, but he would also be proud of it as the village chief. So he is very curious about the results of Zhang Xingfeng's college entrance examination.

Father Zhang: "We didn't ask them. We didn't ask them during the exam because we were afraid that they would affect the subsequent exams. We didn't ask them after the exam because it was already over. Asking again would only make him more nervous before the results came out. So we all tacitly didn't ask him. We'll wait and see the results. Anyway, I heard from Xiaofeng that the results of the college entrance examination will be known in ten days."

After listening to what Zhang's father said, Village Chief Zhang nodded and said, "That's right. Now the result is already determined. If I ask, I will be more nervous these days. So I won't ask. However, I still hope that Xiaofeng can become the first scholar in our village. If he passes the exam, I will have a banquet to celebrate. Hahaha."

"Haha, of course, I'll borrow the village chief's good words first."

"Hahaha, fine, I won't talk to you anymore, Zhang Qian. My family is waiting for me to eat, so I'll go back first. Come over when you have time."

"Okay, village chief, come when you are free."

Village chief Zhang was carrying a hoe and heading home.

Father Zhang also continued to move the luggage.

All the luggage was moved into the yard and the carriage was driven to the backyard of the old house.

Zhang Yunyue took out the ready-made clothes she bought in the county town.

"Grandpa, grandma, these are the ready-made clothes I bought for everyone in the county town, specially for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Grandpa, these are yours, grandma, these are yours..."

Zhang Yunyue took this opportunity to give away the clothes to everyone.

Grandma Zhang: "Yueyue, don't buy clothes next time. We don't have enough clothes at home. Besides, we are all in the village. How can we wear so many clothes? Just buy clothes for yourself next time.

"Grandma, I've said before that the money our family earns is for you to spend. You usually live in the village and have little to spend, so you should wear new clothes more often. Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a few days, so it's a good opportunity for us to wear new clothes and celebrate it together."

Grandma Zhang raised her hand and tapped Zhang Yunyue’s forehead: “You, grandma can’t argue with you.”
