Sun and Jiang Shengcai had no scholars in their family, so they didn't pay much attention to these things. Even if they knew about the academy examination, they couldn't remember when it was held.

Suddenly realizing this, they were a little nervous. What should they do? Their son-in-law was going to take the exam again. They couldn't help at all.

Jiang Ningning didn't feel anything. Her husband had told her before that he would return to the academy once things at home were stable.

It seems her husband is going back to the academy.

Xiao Yan was indeed planning to return to the academy.

The family is basically stable. For the time being, they are running the sausage wrap business. It doesn't matter whether he is there or not. He will naturally return to the academy, pass the imperial examination, and get in touch with power as quickly as possible.

Xiao Yan bowed again and said, "My injury is no longer serious. I will take part in the entrance examination."

When Tian and Xiao Fushan heard this, they opened their mouths to say something.

"That's good, that's good." Xu Ji was immediately relieved. They had all failed the exam for several years, and he cherished every opportunity to take the exam. He felt that Xiao Yan must feel the same way.

"Then will you go back to the academy before the exam?" Xu Ji asked again.

"Yes, I will be back tomorrow." Xiao Yan said.

Tian and Xiao Fushan wanted to say something more, but they didn't rush to say it.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Xu Ji found out that Xiao Yan had actually gotten engaged during this period.

The little girl in front of him with her face covered with burn scars is Xiao Yan's future wife.

The two families came to the town to do business together and were preparing to go back.

Xu Ji was extremely surprised and hurriedly greeted him again.

The reason why he was surprised was not because he thought there was anything wrong with the girl, but because he felt that Xiao Yan was injured and was about to take the college entrance examination. Why was she distracted by the engagement at this critical juncture? It wouldn't be too late to get engaged after the exams.

He was a little worried that Xiao Yan would fail the exam again this year.

But then he thought that he himself was not sure if he could pass the exam, and he was still in the mood to worry about others. He felt helpless with himself.

"I left a few books at home and went back to get them. I also happened to be going to the bookstore on this street to buy two books. I had just finished buying them when I ran into you. I have to go back to the academy to review my lessons, so I'll take my leave now."

Xu Ji, Xiao Yan, Jiang Ningning, and Tian Shi all bowed to each other before leaving quickly.

The exam is imminent, he has to try harder to pass.

Xiao Yan knew that the family was from this town. Even though they were not a wealthy family, they were much better off than the original owner.

It was not until he saw Xu Ji walking away quickly that Xiao Yan turned around and found that Tian and Xiao Fushan were looking at him with a look of wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

Tian hesitated for a moment before advising, "Xiao Yan, why don't you just not take the exam this time?"

"Yeah, yeah." Xiao Fushan agreed. "You should just recuperate and not take the exam this year."

Although they are a family, Sun and Jiang Shengcai did not dare to give any advice.

After all, Xiao Yan had always been in the academy before, and Tian and Xiao Fushan rarely talked about Xiao Yan's performance in the academy in the village. They really didn't understand this matter.

Xiao Yan said: "My injuries are all healed."

It's really all fine.

The bandage was still on just to make people think he wasn't well yet. This way, he would have an excuse to stay at home until things were stable at home, and he wouldn't be urged to go back to the academy.

And said:

“I’ve already signed up, why shouldn’t I take the exam?

This is an opportunity. Some people want to take the college entrance examination but can't. How can I give up so easily?

Maybe I'll pass the exam.

But if I don’t take the exam, I will definitely not pass.

Besides, the academy examination is not held every year, but twice every three years. This year happens to be the second time in these three years. If there is no examination this year, there will be no academy examination next year, so we will have to wait until the year after next to take the examination again.

Dad, Mom, do you really want me to wait until next year to take the exam again?"

Tian and Xiao Fushan seemed to wake up at this moment, and both slapped their heads and said:

"We were confused, we were confused. Yes, you're right. If you don't take the exam, you definitely won't pass. The college entrance examination isn't held every year, so you should seize every opportunity. Whether you pass or not is another matter. Okay, go ahead and take it."

Sun and Jiang Shengcai also nodded. They didn't understand anything else, but their son-in-law's words were indeed very correct.

"You're smarter than your father and I, which is naturally good," Tian said, "but even if you fail the exam this time... son, don't take it to heart.

Mom and Dad have always been afraid that you would take it to heart and put more pressure on you. How could you be happy then? We rarely saw you smile before.

Even if you are smiling, we feel that you are not actually happy.

Mom has told you before that compared to passing the imperial examination, Dad and Mom want you to be happy more.

As for the exam, just try your best."

As she spoke of this, the usually strong Tian's eyes turned red.

Xiao Fushan felt bad too, and his eyes were red. After all, they only had this one son.

If something happens to this son due to stress, what hope will they have in the future?

Therefore, they never told the villagers about their son's performance in the academy before, lest someone in the village deliberately distort their words and their son hear them, and then their son would have wrong ideas and put more pressure on himself...

Fortunately, his father told him in a dream that marriage would be good for both families, so his son should not get into trouble due to the pressure in the future.

They were really worried about this before.

The teacher told them that their son couldn't concentrate normally during exams. He not only broke out in cold sweats, but his hands were also shaking. He said this might be the reason why their son couldn't pass the exams, and that their son wasn't usually like this...

"I understand, mother." Xiao Yan nodded. Seeing Tian and Xiao Fushan like this, he was naturally touched.

Seeing their son's determined eyes, unlike before, he really listened to it. Tian and Xiao Fushan both nodded: "Okay, okay."

Although she was smiling, there were tears in her eyes.

They really no longer have to worry about anything happening to their son due to stress.

A lot has really changed since we got engaged.

Everything was in fulfillment of their father's dream of benefiting both families.

Not only do both families have a lot of money now, they have also started businesses, and even their son has changed a lot.

Naturally, my daughter-in-law has changed, and even my parents-in-law have changed. In fact, even they themselves have changed. They are much happier than before. They are happy from the bottom of their hearts every day and can't help smiling...

"Oh, right," Tian sniffed, then hurriedly said with a smile, "You're going back to the academy tomorrow. When we get back, shall we ask Doctor Lin to see you again?"

Knowing that only after seeing Doctor Lin again would Tian and Xiao Fushan feel completely at ease, Xiao Yan naturally nodded again: "Yes."

Although Jiang Ningning didn't say anything, she felt that her husband no longer had to pretend to be Xiao Yan's original personality and could be himself.
