Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

After returning home, Chen Lang entered the "senior year" mode.

Endorsement, crazy endorsement.

Do questions, do questions like crazy!

During this period, Li Xiaohu and his wife brought their two children to Hezhong Village to help Li Xiuzhi make tofu.

After the market in Shanghe Village disappeared, Tianshangju relied entirely on Hezhong Village for its tofu supply.

Chen Lang had to prepare for the exam, so the task of making tofu fell entirely on Li Xiuzhi, and she needed someone to help her share the burden.

On the other hand, Li Xiaohu has been in a bad mood since his leg was broken. Zhao Chunhua was afraid that if this continued, he would sooner or later go to the Zhao family father and son with a knife to settle the score. After learning that her brother-in-law needed help, she took her two children and dragged her husband to Chen Lang without saying a word.

With the addition of Li Xiaohu and his wife, the pressure on Li Xiuzhi's shoulders was much less, and Chen Lang could focus more on memorizing and doing exercises.

Half a month passed by in a flash.

That morning, Liu Jun came to deliver soybeans and told Chen Lang that the county government had announced the results and the county examination would be held the day after tomorrow.

Li Xiuzhi immediately began to pack Chen Lang's luggage.

The county examination starts very early, so if you rush to the county town on the same day, you have to get up in the middle of the night.

But rest is also very important for students taking the imperial examinations, so more than 90% of students will choose to rush to the examination venue before the exam, book a room in the inn, and wait for the exam to arrive.

After Zhao Chunhua finished feeding her baby, she hurried forward to help.

Then she found that Li Xiuzhi only packed Chen Lang's luggage and did not pack her own.

"Sister, aren't you going with me?"

Li Xiuzhi said, "Erlang said I don't need to go. It's just a county exam, nothing serious."

"I'll go with him when the provincial and imperial examinations come."

Zhao Chunhua said, "It seems my brother-in-law is very confident about this exam."

"Sister, you are going to become a scholar's wife."

Li Xiuzhi said, "What? There's not even a clue about your fate."

"Besides, it sounds awkward to the scholar's wife. I don't like it."

"Then the wife of the number one scholar?" Zhao Chunhua touched Li Xiuzhi's shoulder: "You like this title, right?"

Li Xiuzhi muttered, "I hope he doesn't get the top spot in the imperial examination."

Zhao Chunhua asked, "Ah? Why?"

"Forget about becoming the top scholar. Even if you pass the imperial examination, you have to leave your hometown and go to a big city like the provincial capital."

"I'm just a country woman. How can I possibly get used to the big city?"

"And I can't live without you." Li Xiuzhi said.

Zhao Chunhua thought for a moment and said, "That's true. No matter how good things are outside, they're not as good as my hometown."

"But if your brother-in-law gets promoted in the future, you still have to go."

At this point, Zhao Chunhua glanced back at Chen Lang, who was chatting with Li Xiaohu in the yard, and whispered, "It's easy for a man to become bad after he achieves fame."

"Although I believe in my brother-in-law's character, there are so many attractive men out there who keep coming after him. How many men in the world can resist such temptation?"

"So sister, you have to keep a close eye on your brother-in-law."

"Of course, I'm not saying that my brother-in-law can't take concubines. It's normal for a man to have three or four wives."

"The key is that as the principal wife, you need to screen any woman who wants to marry into the Chen family. Otherwise, there will be quarrels every day and there will be no peace in the house."

Li Xiuzhi said, "Alright, alright, you're talking nonsense. It's still unclear whether he can pass the exam and become a scholar."

After saying that, he walked into the yard with his packed luggage and said, "Erlang, everything is packed."

Chen Lang picked up his bag, touched Li Xiuzhi's face again, and said, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow. Please discuss family matters with Xiaohu."

Then he looked at Li Xiaohu again: "Xiaohu, Chunhua, when I'm not around, please help Xiuzhi with the things at home."

Li Xiaohu held Erwa in his arms and nodded, saying, "Brother-in-law, don't worry about taking the exam. I'm here at home, so there won't be any trouble."

At this time, Guoguo came forward with a wronged look on her face, tears in her eyes, and said, "Daddy, I can't bear to see you go."

Chen Lang squatted down, touched his forehead with his daughter, and said, "My dear daughter, Daddy is in the county town. If you miss him, ask your mother to take you to the county town to find him."

Guoguo was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Is it possible?"

In her mind, this trip of Chen Lang, like his previous trip to Linshui County, was the kind that she would never see again.

But I didn't expect that this time I could see her whenever I wanted.

So the little man's heart was no longer sad.

Chen Lang assigned Cuicui some homework before reluctantly embarking on the journey to take the exam.

When I arrived at the county town, I first reported to Sheng Chuliang's home.

During the past period of time, Chen Lang sent tofu, fish and shrimp to Sheng Chuliang's home every two days, and Sheng Chuliang did not refuse. There was no problem in eating something sent by a direct disciple.

Since so many gifts were given, the servants of the Sheng family also benefited from it.

The last time I came, the servants in the house were all pale and thin, and looked like they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Now everyone's face has some color.

So they had a particularly good impression of Chen Lang. When they saw him coming to their house, they greeted him and helped pull the ox cart.

Chen Lang was also not vague. Whenever he saw someone, he would stuff some money into their hands. It wasn't much, just about ten copper coins.

The reason is that they have worked hard to take care of the teachers.

The servants were so moved that their eyes were filled with tears, and they kept praising the master for having such a good apprentice.

When he was stuffing money into the housekeeper's pocket, Sheng Chuliang happened to see it.

The butler was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees. He knew how strange his master's temper was.

But this time Sheng Chuliang didn't say anything, he just asked Chen Lang to go to the study to talk.

The housekeeper Wu Bo was stunned and asked in confusion: "Master didn't scold me?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Fifth Uncle, this money is a gift from a student like me. It's not stolen or robbed. Just take it and it's fine."

"I'm going to find the teacher. See you later."

When he arrived at the study, Sheng Chuliang did not mention the fact that Chen Lang had given money to the servants at home. Instead, he directly took out a set of papers and asked Chen Lang to do them.

"This test paper is a prediction question I made based on the county examination papers in previous years." Sheng Chuliang said lightly.

Chen Lang was so excited that he wanted to hug Sheng Chuliang and kiss him.

What do you call this? This is called Master's Topic Prediction!

Moreover, with Sheng Chuliang's level, the probability of winning is very high.

As long as I finish this set of papers, the probability of passing the county exam can be increased by at least 30%!

"Thank you teacher."

Sheng Chuliang said calmly: "What are you thanking me for? This is a prediction of the topic, not a leak."

"Don't put all your hopes on this paper."

"When you're done, go help in the kitchen."

Chen Lang was still excited, and was stunned when he heard this: "Teacher, what did you say?"

Sheng Chuliang cleared his throat, his face slightly embarrassed.

"The fish you cooked last time...the cook at home doesn't know how to cook it. I'll teach him later."

Chen Lang smiled and nodded, "Okay, teacher, I promise to teach you."
