The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

The Su family and their group followed the gatekeeper to the back door of the yamen.

The gatekeeper called out respectfully, "Old Master, Old Madam, we've arrived. Please go to the living room and rest first. Wait for Steward Wang to return, then go to the inner courtyard."

The gatekeeper escorted the group to the living room and then left.

Nanny He conspicuously handed over a red envelope, but the gatekeeper quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "The master has ordered that we cannot accept it."

Actually, I really wanted to accept it, but unfortunately I met Lord Sun. If I were discovered, my wages would definitely be deducted.

Especially the red envelopes from Mr. Sun’s family, you must not accept them, or you might end up having your wages doubled.

He stealthily glanced at the magistrate's wife, who was wearing a veil hat, and then stealthily glanced at the chubby little girl.

Tsk tsk~~It seems that the rumors are true, Lord Sun really likes strong women.

The magistrate's wife in front of me seems a little too plump.

The gatekeeper was almost nervous and quickly took his leave without changing his expression or heartbeat, fearing that he would be killed to silence him if he knew Lord Sun's secret.

Sister Yun didn't want to wear a veil either. It would be uncomfortable to be trapped inside the veil, but she had a different status.

Either you are as old as my mother-in-law or as old as the fat girl. People like her are stuck in the middle, neither up nor down, and have to follow more rules.

At this moment, Sister Yun missed Sunjia Village and Hejia Village so much.

After Su and the others left, he immediately strolled around, looked around, and when he looked up, he thought the sky was particularly beautiful.

Su sat high and mighty in the main seat and said proudly, "I didn't expect the government office to be so big. We went through so many twists and turns to get to the reception room. Look at this small courtyard..."

Suddenly seeing rows and rows of green vegetables, I asked curiously, "Why is the government office growing vegetables? Shouldn't they be growing flowers and plants? I heard that high-ranking officials love to enjoy the flowers and the moon the most."

The county government office is divided into different parts, each of which is composed of many small courtyards.

Rows of lush green vegetables were planted in front of the living room, and they looked quite good.

Sun Bomin was also puzzled. He looked at Uncle Chen, then at Sister Yun and asked, "Really? How did you grow vegetables?"

Uncle Chen didn't know either, as it was his first time coming to Yuanlu County Government Office. Sister Yun also didn't know, as it was her first time here as well.

Uncle Sun leisurely took a sip of tea and ate a candied date.

He curled his lips and said, "Brother, don't you know Shanzi? He's always been very frugal. It must be Shanzi who grew the vegetables. If you grow your own vegetables, you don't have to go out and buy them, which saves you a lot of money."

Tsk tsk~ Shanzi, this stingy guy, was stingy enough in Sunjia Village, and he still couldn't change his stingy nature after coming to Yuanlu County.

Li Jinhua carefully took Xiao Heimei's hand and walked into the yamen, looking carefully at every brick and tile.

Just now, outsiders didn't dare to say a word, but now, family members dared to speak: "Uncle, aunt, I think it was grown by Brother Gui and the villagers. We are from the countryside, how can we buy vegetables every day? It's better to grow them ourselves and eat with peace of mind."

If she came along, she would also grow vegetables. Country people going out to buy vegetables to eat is hilarious!

This makes perfect sense.

Sun Bomin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, growing your own vegetables is not only economical but also convenient. You can grow whatever vegetables you want to eat."

Uncle Sun ate another candied date and curled his lips.

What do you want to eat? Plant what you want to eat. Shouldn't you buy what you want to eat?

How can it be more convenient to grow it yourself than to buy it?

I am poor, but my eldest brother just won’t admit it.

Hu Ming pulled the fat girl and the black girl together and said to Yun Jie'er, "Mom, is this where my adoptive father lives?"

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Sister Yun lifted her veil and shook her head: "This is not where my adoptive father lives. After passing those doors, it's where my adoptive father lives, and that's where we're going to live."

The three little mosquitoes looked in the direction of Sister Yun'er's finger, but they only saw endless walls and nothing else.

Hu Ming asked again, "Stepmother, stepfather's place is so big and the floor is so clean."

As soon as you enter the yamen, you will see a road paved with large stone slabs. It is not a stepping stone at all and does not look like a village at all.

Sister Yun said gently, "The government office is cleaned every day, so it must be spotless. But since we're living here, we can't litter or dirty the floor, understand?"

Hu Ming nodded, and Xiao Hei Mei also nodded in response: "Auntie, I understand."

The little fat girl had no intention of listening to Sister Yun. When she saw her sister said she knew, she followed behind and shouted, "Mother, I know too."

When he saw Third Uncle Sun stuffing candied dates into his mouth, he hurriedly broke free from Hu Ming's hand and ran to Third Uncle Sun, shouting, "Third Uncle, that's enough, that's enough."

Uncle Sun looked at the fat girl with confusion and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by enough? What is Xiaoxiao talking about?"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the little fat girl and immediately felt a heavy force pressing down on his hands. He exclaimed in amazement, "Brother, your big fat granddaughter has gained weight again. Oh, she eats so much every day. Only our Shanzi is rich enough to afford to raise her."

Uncle Sun has grandsons and granddaughters, and he has long since passed the hope of having a baby. But because he likes Shanzi, he also likes Xiao Feimei.

He held the little fat girl in his arms and bounced her around, grinning and saying, "Xiaoxiao, when Third Grandpa gets familiar with the route, I'll take you out to play and eat delicious food. Tsk tsk~~ This little face has such thick flesh."

The flowers have feelings but the water is heartless. It's a pity that the little fat girl doesn't like Uncle Sun.

When she was picked up, she immediately shouted, "No, I don't want you to hold me. I want Xiaoxiao to land on the ground. I want her to land on the ground."

Like a carp washed ashore by the flood, jumping around.

The little fat girl rolled around in Uncle Sun's arms, wanting to roll off the ground.

Uncle Sun quickly put the little fat girl down on the ground. The girl from the Shanzi family was not only fat, but also very strong. After the struggle just now, it was impossible to hold her.

He said angrily: "Brother, your big fat granddaughter is such a piece of shit, you are not even allowed to hold her, you stingy guy."

Sun Bomin immediately objected, "Third brother, don't talk about my Xiaoxiao like that. She's not stingy at all, she's very generous. I've never met such a sensible little girl."

Uncle Sun: ....

Forget it, I won’t argue with my eldest brother. In his eyes, there is nothing bad about his granddaughter.

As I was thinking about it, I was about to take a candied fruit from the fruit box.

The little fat girl was quick to act and immediately hugged the fruit box in her arms, shouting, "Third Grandpa, that's enough, that's enough, we can't eat anymore."

Uncle Sun was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and turned to look at Sun Bomin: "Brother, look, it turns out you don't allow me to eat candied dates. You kept saying enough is enough, but it turns out you're telling me not to eat anymore."

Sun Bomin happily pulled the little fat girl to his side and said with a smile: "Good granddaughter, eat slowly, and don't give it to Third Grandpa."

The little fat girl nodded with sparkling eyes: "Well, Third Grandpa has eaten enough and can't eat anymore."

After saying that, he ran to the yard holding the fruit box and pulling Hu Ming and Xiao Hei Mei.

The three of them each had a candied fruit and started eating happily.
