Defeating Ke Jin is not as easy as it sounds.

Han Qi attached great importance to Ke Jin and taught him everything he knew. Ke Jin did not disappoint Han Qi and won the first place in the county and prefectural examinations. He had a high probability of getting the top three honors. However, he had health problems during the prefectural examination that year and missed the exam.

His health recovered, but because the new governor had not yet taken office, the examination was postponed for another year.

This year, Ke Jin will take the college entrance examination again. Many of his classmates have already spread the word that Ke Jin will be the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination.

Sheng Chuliang originally thought that he had a good relationship with Han Qi, so he asked Chen Lang to find Han Qi. Unexpectedly, Han Qi not only did not treat him as a friend, but also severely humiliated his student.

Sheng Chuliang didn't say it, but he was very angry in his heart, so he made such a request to Chen Lang.

Of course, with Chen Lang's ability, it is very difficult to defeat Ke Jin. Sheng Chuliang asked someone to inquire about the preferences of the tutor, and also wanted to help his apprentice increase his chances of winning in other aspects.

However, the new governor did not play by the rules at all, so this time, Chen Lang could only rely on his own strength in the college entrance examination.

In order to defeat Ke Jin, Chen Lang moved directly to the Sheng Mansion and completely entered a state of turning a deaf ear to the outside world and focusing on reading the books of sages. Every day, he was either reciting or doing exercises, and he had almost no free time.

Before I knew it, a month had passed.

There are only twenty days left before the provincial examination.

Considering the time lost on the road, it was time for Chen Lang to set off for Qinzhou Prefecture.

But before leaving, Chen Lang still had one thing to do.

That is to spend the Spring Festival with my family.

Knowing that daddy would be going on a long trip again in a few days, and would be away from home even longer than last time, Guoguo had been clinging to Chen Lang these days, even wanting to sleep with him.

In fact, Chen Lang was reluctant to leave his wife and children, and thought about taking them to Qinzhou Prefecture.

But this proposal was once again opposed by Sheng Chuliang and Li Xiuzhi.

"Erlang, I don't want to be separated from you, but the exam is such an important matter. If Guoguo and I go, it will distract you."

"Besides, the journey to Qinzhou Prefecture is so long, and Guoguo is so young, she won't be able to handle it."

"We still have plenty of time left in our lives, so there's no need to rush into this moment."

Chen Lang said: "Xiuzhi, your cultural level has improved."

Li Xiuzhi said, "During this period, Guoguo, Cuicui, and Lanlan have been learning things from their godmother. I occasionally listen to them. After listening more often, they will be able to speak."

"And if I don't learn more about culture, what if you look down on me when you're in high school?"

Chen Lang tapped Li Xiuzhi's delicate nose and said, "You, don't think about these messy things."

"Because of what you said, I will use new techniques to punish you severely tonight."

Li Xiuzhi hooked Chen Lang's chin with her finger and said charmingly, "I'm not afraid of you just those two moves."

Chen Lang's eyes widened. "Okay, you actually look down on your husband!"

"I will punish you now!"

After saying that, he bent down, carried Li Xiuzhi on his shoulders, and strode towards the room.

Li Xiuzhi's face flushed red with shame. She struggled and said, "Good Erlang, put me down. It's broad daylight... If others see me, I won't survive."

Chen Lang patted Li Xiuzhi's butt and asked, "Are you scared?"

Li Xiuzhi said coquettishly: "I'm scared!"

Chen Lang put Li Xiuzhi down. After she regained her balance, she stuck out her tongue at him and said, "I was kidding!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

"Hey! Stop, you witch!" Chen Lang ran after her, but after just two steps, he saw Guoguo riding Xiao Huihui running in from the side door.

"Mom, let me help you!" Guoguo jumped off the wolf's back and said, "Little Huihui, go stop Daddy."

Xiao Huihui looked back at Guoguo.

So what I mean is, little master, are you serious?

Guoguo gently kicked Xiao Huihui: "Don't just stand there, hurry up and get on."

Xiao Huihui yawned and fell to the ground pretending to be dead.

Don’t involve me in your family’s internal strife.

Chen Lang laughed out loud and said, "My dear girl, your helper is disobedient."

"Daddy is coming to catch you and your mom right now, and when he catches you, he'll spank your little butt!"

Guoguo covered her butt and ran to Li Xiuzhi. Zier screamed, "Mother, help!"

Li Xiuzhi said, "Go and ask grandma for help."

Chen Lang glared: "Looking for external help? That's too much."

Li Xiuzhi said, "You can also ask your godfather to help you."

Chen Lang said: "Come on, the teacher is a henpecked husband..."

"Cough cough!"

A heavy cough was heard from outside the yard, and then Sheng Chuliang walked in with a frown on his face.

Mrs. Sheng followed behind him, her mouth twitching slightly, trying hard to hold back her laughter.

Guoguo hurried over and hugged Madam Sheng's legs: "Grandma, Daddy hit me!"

Madam Sheng said with a smile, "Grandma will help you fight back."

Guoguo turned around and made a face at Chen Lang, looking very proud.

Sheng Chuliang said, "Alright, let your father go. Erlang, hurry up and write the Spring Festival couplets."

"Xiuzhi, go call everyone from the tofu shop over, and let's celebrate New Year's Eve together tonight."

Li Xiuzhi nodded and said, "Okay, godfather."

Chen Lang came to the study to write Spring Festival couplets. Just as he spread out the red paper, Guoguo ran in with Xiao Huihui.

"Dad, let me help." Guoguo said crisply.

Chen Lang nodded: "Okay, help Dad grind the ink."

Guoguo was very happy and ran over to drag the chair. Xiao Huihui helped Guoguo push the chair next to the desk from behind.

Guoguo stepped on the chair and helped Chen Lang grind the ink.

However, this process did not last too long. With the arrival of the two little girls Cuicui and Lanlan, Guoguo no longer had the heart to help Chen Lang. He rode on Xiao Huihui and turned into a wolf knight and rushed out of the study.

But after a while, Cuicui came to the study and took over Guoguo's previous work.

While writing Spring Festival couplets, Chen Lang asked Cuicui some questions and was very pleased to find that her answers were all very good.

The teacher's teaching level is indeed better than mine.

"Cui Cui, why don't you write two too? We'll go back to the tofu shop and post them."

Chen Lang handed Cuicui a pen and paper.

Cuicui was a little excited and asked, "Teacher, I'm a girl, can I also write Spring Festival couplets?"

Chen Lang said: "Of course, the teacher doesn't care about these things, just write it."

Cuicui held the pen, tilted her head and thought for a while, then remembered two auspicious words and wrote them on red paper.

These two sentences are actually a bit inappropriate to use as Spring Festival couplets, but Chen Lang feels that if Sun Yuwei knew that this couplet was written by his daughter, even if the content of the couplet is "After X years, it is X year, and each year passed is counted as one year", he will frame it and hang it at the door.

Guoguo and Lanlan saw Cuicui writing Spring Festival couplets, and the two little girls also asked to write Spring Festival couplets.

Chen Lang gave up his seat so that they could indulge in writing Spring Festival couplets. He could also teach them some good words and phrases, making it both educational and entertaining.

After writing the Spring Festival couplets, Chen Lang went to the kitchen again. He had another task tonight, which was to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

As a man from Sichuan and Chongqing, making New Year’s Eve dinner is something that is ingrained in my genes and cannot be changed even if I live two lives!
