The Little Lucky Girl.

In the evening, the family sat together for dinner. Old Man Su happily drank two glasses of wine and sighed, "Thanks to our good boy, otherwise the second child would not be able to continue his studies!"

"Yes, if the family had money, the second son wouldn't have missed the imperial examination!" Old Wang said:

The next day, Old Man Su, his father and his two sons followed the clan elders and the village chief to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors!

The highly respected grandfather among the clan elders muttered: "May the spirits of our ancestors in heaven bless us. The Su family has finally produced its only scholar. May our ancestors bless our family to be prosperous and healthy for generations to come!"

Both the Su family father and son kowtowed three times to their ancestors!

After the ancestor worship, Old Man Su invited the clan elders and the village chief to his home for dinner!

After returning to the Su family, Uncle Su started to kill chickens and fish... Old man Su chatted with the clan elders and the village chief!

An hour later, a sumptuous meal was ready. Su Laoer also took out the peach wine that Su Qing had given him. The old men drank and talked happily, and they ate very happily! The village chief had long been craving meat, and his family had only wild vegetable porridge with pickles every day! There was not much oil or water.

After dinner, everyone went home!

The whole family sat together in the evening to discuss the banquet! The time was set for the day after tomorrow, and everyone went shopping for groceries tomorrow.

After everyone had discussed it, they went back to their rooms to sleep!

In the west wing at night, Su Lao Er coaxed Su Qing to sleep, and then the couple did something unspeakable between husband and wife...

The next day at noon, Old Man Su and his two sons went to the county town to buy vegetables. Su Zhiyuan went to the college to invite the dean, the teacher... and several classmates who also passed the imperial examination.

The Su family father and son bought chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and eggs, and also ordered a pig from Butcher Wang! Then the three of them drove the ox cart back home! When they got home, the two brothers each went to their parents-in-law's house to invite them to dinner the next day!

In the morning, the women and men of the tribe came to help, setting up the tables and chairs. The women picked vegetables, washed them, cut them, and cooked them...

The men killed chickens and fish and chopped meat, while the women stewed the killed chickens, ducks, and fish. Soon the aroma of meat wafted out!

Pots of meat and vegetables were served on the table, and the portions were particularly generous, even more sumptuous than Su Qing’s full moon banquet last time! The children in the village were so greedy that they kept shouting!

The guests who came to congratulate them were all present. Several respected elders and the village chief sat at one table with the dean of the college! The two families of relatives sat at another table, and the rest of the villagers sat down individually!

The banquet started after the firecrackers were set off. The villagers ate voraciously, as if they had been hungry for a long time!

After the banquet was over and the guests were sent away, some villagers stayed behind to clean up before leaving. Old Wang asked the villagers who helped to take the remaining meat and vegetables back home because they would easily go bad in the hot weather!

After finishing all this, the whole family was a little tired. Although tired, we were very happy!

The autumn harvest arrived in the blink of an eye, and the once emerald green fields instantly turned into a golden ocean. In the sunlight, the rice grains shone like gold, clustered and clumped together, shining brightly.

Taking advantage of the fine weather, the villagers took their sickles to the fields to harvest rice, their faces filled with the joy of a good harvest! The busy farming season lasted for more than ten days.

The villagers harvested the rice, dried it in their own yards, and packed it up!

Old Man Su didn't have to pay taxes this year because his second son passed the imperial examination. This saved him a lot of food...

Two relatives were also exempted from taxes under their names: the village chief's family, Aunt Li's family who got along well with Old Wang, and those in the clan who often helped!

These families were extremely grateful to Su Lao Er! In those days, grain production was not high. After deducting taxes, the remaining amount was not enough to feed a family of several people!
