Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

When his cousin tortured him that night, he had no intention of sparing his life.

He still clearly remembers that his life force was gradually fading away. After being locked in the secret room for nine years, he had long given up hope that anyone would rescue him.

When he was about to die, he vaguely saw himself nine years ago when he passed the imperial examination and was full of vigor and vitality, and his mother greeting relatives and neighbors with a smile on her face.

Just as he was dying, a god in white clothes walked up to him. Behind him was him lying inexplicably in the forest, surrounded by corpses without facial features and with the upper bodies of various animals. Although he was scared, he quickly accepted this fact.

Because he clearly remembered that he was dead, there was no good skin on his body, his legs were twisted and broken, and he died miserably and no one knew about it.

But miraculously he survived that night.

From then on, he firmly believed that there were gods in this world.

The sudden appearance of two boxes of gold this morning further confirmed his guess.

There are gods in this world.

After writing the IOU, the real county magistrate put it away carefully, picked up a clip to light the gradually dimming oil lamp, picked up the memorial that his cousin had ignored the situation of the people when he replaced him, and began to read it.

................

Life goes on as usual.

Yaoyao’s daily life is learning to stand, walk, talk, and eat less to lose weight.

After several months of hard work, Yaoyao was able to walk shakily. Wearing a small bellyband and striding with her short legs, she chased Guoan ferociously.

She wanted to be the best in everything, and she also learned to speak out words one by one.

"Turtle...blister." Yaoyao stretched out one hand, frowned, and spoke in a baby voice, calling Guoan to wait for her.

Yaoyao, who wanted to run before she learned to walk, fell to the ground hard.

"...Pot.....Pot wuwuwu....Bu...Deng.....Wo." Yaoyao sat on the ground and cried loudly, with big tears falling one by one.

Guoan saw his sister fall down and felt distressed. He quickly turned back and hugged Yaoyao, "Brother, don't cry, don't cry, brother, hit the floor, hit the floor, hit, hit."

"Hehehe...pot...pot...wo...catch...road...mud." Yaoyao clutched Guoan's clothes tightly, tears still hanging on her chubby pink face, and her eyes were full of pride.

Guoan's eyes widened, "My sister lied to me again."

"Hahaha, hello...guo...guo...catch...the nest." Yaoyao opened her arms and rushed out like a little firecracker, running staggeringly, with the two little buns on her head shaking.

Guoan followed his sister with a nervous look on his face, "Sister, don't run, slow down."

These words made Yaoyao even more excited. She stepped very hard with her short legs and ran with her bare feet.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Yaoyao can walk, has grown a lot taller, can talk, and looks more and more beautiful." Mrs. Lin was picking soybeans in her hand, looking at a group of children playing in the yard with a smile. Yaoyao was pouting and acting like a rogue.

Old Lady Liu's eyes were filled with smiles, and her lips never faltered. "Oh, you don't know how naughty she is. She steals food every day. She even climbs up on a stool to eat the pork elbow hidden in the cupboard. She has so many tricks up her sleeve."

"Her brothers even covered for her. When they were discovered, they claimed they ate it. Even when her mouth was full of greasy food, she still claimed it wasn't hers. If I hadn't seen that she had lost a lot of weight recently, I would have spanked her."

"Haha, it's a blessing for children to be able to eat. I see that Yaoyao is becoming more and more like the lucky doll in the New Year pictures." Old Mrs. Shen looked at Yaoyao with a smile as she picked soybeans and said, "My granddaughter has gained a lot of weight recently. She is plump and full of energy."

"That's right. The children in the family have all grown stronger and look healthy."

Old Mrs. Ye smiled and looked at the children playing in the yard with fondness in her eyes.

The naughty Yaoyao climbed onto Xiaohei's body, pulled her ears and asked Xiaohei to carry her and run. Her brothers and sisters followed Xiaohei and chased him. The yard was filled with the children's cheerful laughter.

Yuan Laoer took the book out of the house and ran to Yuan Laosi's house to ask Yuan Laosi to explain the meaning of the book to him.

Yuan Laosi was still thinking about how to take Qingshuilou's business to the next level. When he heard Yuan Laoer's voice, his eyes rolled.

"I think you should go take the scientific examination, second brother."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lao Er's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise, pointing at Yuan Lao Si and asking, "Why haven't you gone to the capital to take the exam yet?"

"Mom, mom, the fourth child hasn't gone to the capital city to take the exam yet!"

When Old Lady Liu and several other old ladies heard this, they were shocked. Oh, how could they have forgotten such a big thing!

In an instant, Yuan Laosi's house was crowded with people.

"Hurry up and pack your things and go to the provincial capital to take the exam. If you miss this time you will have to wait another three years." Old Mrs. Liu was busy packing clothes for Yuan Laosi.

Yuan Lao Si rubbed his forehead helplessly and said, "Mom, our Lihua Village is very close to Yongchen City. There's no need to go so early."

Old Lady Liu stopped what she was doing and then she remembered that the fourth brother had said that the exam would be held in Yongchen City.

It's really too early to go now as it's a week's journey.

"Don't worry about the affairs of Qingshui Tower. The most important thing now is to study hard and pass the exam to become a scholar." said Old Lady Liu.

The fourth child is busy in Qingshui Building every day and I don’t know if he has time to read.

Yuan Lao Si smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. When I have time, I go to Hanlin College to ask the teacher to teach me about the questions I don't understand. I am very confident in taking the test."

"I've seen my second brother, third brother, and father reading a book every day recently. Why don't we let my second brother, third brother, and father take the exam with me?"

Yuan Lao Er was shocked, "Lao Si, you think too highly of your second brother. How could I possibly pass the exam and become a scholar?"

"Everything is possible." Yuan Laosi said with a smile.

Old Lady Liu slammed the table and said, "Okay, it's decided. You all should go and take the exam. It doesn't matter whether you can pass or not. If you can't pass, you can pass as a student. At least you have been to the examination hall.

How can we teach children in the village to read without going through the necessary procedures? "

Without allowing Old Man Yuan, Second Old Man Yuan, and Third Old Man Yuan to refuse, Old Lady Liu made the decision for them directly.

He also declared that from now on they would read for two hours every night.

Second Yuan and Third Yuan didn't care, it was just a formality, whether they passed or not was a matter for the future. Only Old Man Yuan sighed every day, thinking of the accidents that kept happening on his way to the exam when he was young.

The men of the Yuan family work during the day and read by lamplight at night.

Time soon arrived and it was Yaoyao's first birthday.

Today, the Yuan family is very lively. People from all over the village come to give gifts with whatever they can afford.
