The general kneels on the washboard again

When most of the guests were seated, Yue Niang went to find Zhou Ruoyan.

Seeing Ruoyan dressed in white, with a light veil covering her face, Yue Niang couldn't help but be surprised: "Whose fairy is this?"

Ruoyan looked at her and said carefully, "Your Fu Yue's mother's family."

After saying this, both of them suddenly burst into laughter, even though there was clearly no humor in it at all.

After laughing, Yue Niang finally remembered the important matter: "Okay, okay, stop laughing. It's almost time outside. Are you ready?"

"Okay, let's go."

Ruoyan walked onto the stage holding a pipa.

She was a little nervous when she first went up and didn't say a word for a long time, but from the moment she played a string, Ruoyan seemed like a different person, her whole body full of energy and energy, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

Naturally, Pinmingju became famous in Qingshi Town, and the tea stalls at the door were crowded with people.

Yucui smiled from ear to ear: "Xiaodie, we haven't lost 20%."

At night, they returned to Nanshan Village. Yue Niang handed over the wages for the day and said to everyone, "Everyone, if you want to continue working at Pinmingju, we will register and pay you monthly."

Everyone had no objection and went home.

Erya was still not leaving, so Ruoyan returned to her room and said, "I'm too tired today. I'm going to bed first."

The lights in Mrs. Fu and Mother Ji's rooms were also turned off.

When there was no one around, Erya took out a letter from her arms.

This is a letter from Ang Lee. Erya doesn't want to show it to others, but she can't read it completely herself.

The letter has been wrinkled by Erya's study.

Yue Niang laughed and said, "Sister, could this be a letter from Brother Li An announcing the good news?"

She took it and opened it. After reading a few lines, her smile froze on her face. The content of the letter shocked her greatly. Li An failed the exam!!!

Is my memory distorted? Or is this Ang Lee not the top-scoring Ang Lee?

After sorting out her thoughts, Yue Niang remembered that it was not this year's top scorer. Her body was only ten years old at that time. It was the exam three years later.

After hearing this, Erya was filled with worry: "Did the letter say when Brother Li An would arrive? He must be feeling very uncomfortable right now."

Yue Niang looked at the letter again and said, "No, sister, but the date on his letter is from last month. It should be here in the next two days, right?"

Erya rushed out like a fly, holding Yue Niang's lantern. Yue Niang knew that she was probably going to the village entrance to wait for Li An.

But now it was dark, and Yue Niang was afraid that something might happen to Erya, so she decided to go out and find Erya.

He picked up another lantern and went out.

Yue Niang also had the experience of failing the exam, constantly doubting herself and then constantly reshaping herself.

During this period of time, I actually want to be alone the most, and words of comfort from others will often become the fuse that ignites my emotions.

But just as I reached the village entrance, I heard two people hugging each other and crying bitterly. The one crying the loudest was Li An.

He leaned on Erya's shoulder, wantonly expressing his grievance of failing the exam: "I'm useless."

"No, Brother Li Ang, you will always be the most powerful in my heart." Erya comforted him.

After saying this, Li An cried even louder.

At this moment, an aunt walked by and asked, "Hey, Li An is back? How did you do on the exam?"

Li An moved away from Erya's shoulder, picked up the things on the ground, and walked away with his head down.

The aunt kept asking Erya, "Zhao girl, how did Li An do in the exam?"

Even though they have already guessed the result from their crying, they still insist on hearing it again from the person involved to satisfy their strange competitive spirit.

Seeing others pass the exam is more painful than not passing it yourself.

Yue Niang secretly cursed in her heart: Pervert.

Erya glared at her fiercely and said, "Auntie, since you are so idle, you might as well go sell salt." After saying that, she left, trying to catch up with the distraught Li An.

Yue Niang walked to the other side and stopped her: "Sister, don't go yet."

Erya was very worried: "No, Yue'er, I want to go. I'm afraid he will do something stupid."

No one could stop her, and Yue Niang went with her.

Arriving at Li An's house, the door was tightly shut. Erya knocked on it and said, "Brother Li An, please don't do anything stupid."

"Leave me alone, it will be fine." Li An's crying voice came from inside.

Erya also backed down: "Okay, I'll go back and cook first. You must not have eaten yet, right? I'll bring it to you when I'm done." After saying that, she left without waiting for Li An to answer.

Yue Niang followed Erya: "Sister, what Li An needs most right now is quiet."

"I know, but seeing him like that, I can't bear to leave him alone."

Erya also started to cry.

Yue Niang held her hand tightly and said, "Sister, if Brother Li An wanted to commit suicide, he would not return to Nanshan Village."

After hearing what Yue Niang said, Erya stopped crying and went home to cook.

Yue Niang shook her head: "What is love in this world?" The thought of sharing another person's emotions made Yue Niang shake her head: "No, I can't let this happen."

She no longer cared about Erya. She was so tired today that she was about to fall apart. She needed to have a good sleep to recover her energy.

After waking up, it was time to go to Pinmingju to work again. As expected, Erya did not come today.

The number of people visiting Pinmingju today was not as high as yesterday. Around 5 p.m., more people suddenly came to the place, including some stopping by to rest and some students returning from school.

Li An and Er Ya walked in one after the other. Li An said awkwardly, "Yue Niang, I can't pay you back. I'll work for you to pay you back."

Yue Niang sighed, "Brother Li An, have you given up yet? I told you I'd pay you back once you've passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer."

Yue Niang greeted the two of them: "There are so many guests here, please help first, and we will talk about it when we return to the village in the evening."

The two of them also got busy.

I didn't get home until very late at night.

Li An was a little restrained: "Sorry, Erya, Yue Niang, I disappoint you."

Yue Niang said, "No, Brother Li An, Sister Erya and I are not disappointed. Whether you have completed high school or not, we just hope that you can be yourself. Sister Erya didn't sleep all night last night because she was afraid that you would do something stupid."

Erya was a little shy: "Brother Li An, if you fail once, we can continue to take the exam. You are only eighteen years old and you have a long future ahead of you."

"I know, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid." Li An's words were like a reassurance to Erya.

Erya looked at Li An affectionately and said, "Brother Li An, study hard. I will take care of your food, clothing, and daily life."

At this time, Yue Niang seemed to have thought of something: "Brother Li An, why don't you go live in the town? These aunts in the village are gossipy and their words are unpleasant to the ear."

Li An also had this plan: "I have the same plan, but I don't have a place to work or live in the town."

Yue Niang said seriously, "You can go to Pinmingju to work as an accountant. It's the busy farming season now, and there are only two people working in the village today. I'll ask Brother Xiaoming to recruit new workers."

"That's great." Li An also agreed.
