The wood mage and the native brother

After Ji Hai fell asleep, he fell asleep until the next morning.

As soon as Ji Hai opened his eyes, it was Xu who was crying and laughing,

"You are awake. If you don't wake up, my mother and I will go to the doctor."

"What time is it?"

After sleeping for too long, Ji Hai's mind is still groggy.

"Just after breakfast, you're hungry, I'll get you something to eat."

With that said, Mrs. Xu was about to go outside.

"I'll go out by myself,"

Ji Hai waved his hand,

"Sitting in the examination room for four rounds, and sitting in the car for a few days, if you don't move anymore, your skeleton will fall apart."

After sleeping for a day and a night, Ji Hai's body was weakening, and he stood up with the support of the bed, his body swaying.Mrs. Xu hurried forward to help, but Ji Hai did not refuse this time.

Once out of the house, the head of the Ji family, Ji Laoxiu, was already sitting under the shade of a tree with a book, and Sister Xie was holding the teapot on the small table so that Ji Laoxiu could drink tea.

Granny Fang hugged the radish and fed the chickens with chaff, looking absent-minded.

"Father, mother."

Ji Hai called out.

When Mrs. Fang turned her head and saw that it was Ji Hai, she immediately opened her eyes with a smile.

"Boss, wake up, wake up, you are very tired these days, have you slept enough? If you haven't slept enough, go back to sleep."

Ji Hai smiled,

"Where can I sleep all the time, my brain will be rusted from sleep."

Granny Fang replied with a smile,

"Yes yes yes, get up and move, get up and move."

Concerned again,

"Are you hungry? If you want to eat, mother will make it for you."

Ji Hai lifted his clothes and sat next to Ji Lao Xiucai, and said with a smile,

"It doesn't matter what, mother will do as she sees."

Mrs. Xu took a step forward,

"I'll go with my mother."

Ji Hai said from behind again,

"When boiling water, boil a little more, and the body is covered with dirt all the way back, so let me and dad wash up."

"Eh."

Granny Fang cheerfully agreed, then turned around and called Sister Xi,

"Go, get another pot to boil some hot water, and bathe your uncle and grandpa."

Sister Xi made a low reply and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Fang who walked around from the backyard.

"and many more."

Fang took a few steps forward, took old lady Fang's arm and said,

"Mother, Sister Xie and Brother Yan still have to go to the field with me. There is no time to delay here. Before the third child went to work in the county to raise money for the uncle, the work in the field has dropped a lot, so it will be a shame if you don't hurry up." What should I do?"

Fang pretended not to see Xu gritted his teeth and smiled, and said,

"Besides, where are the nephews and nieces who take care of the uncle's bath? If you say it, it will make people laugh. Mother, you are good at cooking, and the whole table is fast and delicious. The sister-in-law can't manage the firehouse, so go On the contrary, I have to drag you and ask my sister-in-law to boil some water to serve my husband and father-in-law, isn't it just right."

Mrs. Fang was only agitated when she saw Ji Hai woke up, saying that Sister Xi never thought of it so much when she was a child, and when she heard what Fang said, she felt a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and was about to speak when Elder Ji behind her had already spoken.

"The third daughter-in-law is right, the eldest daughter-in-law just follows you, don't delay the work in the field."

The head of the family has said so, no matter how much Xu has an opinion, he can't say it.Mrs. Fang obviously listened to Ji Laoxiu, and dragged Mrs. Xu into the fire room.

Fang smiled at Yan Yan, and greeted her two children to go to the field, and greeted Ji Lao Xiucai before leaving.

Ji Laoxiu smiled while holding the book,

"Women, you know these small stomachs all day long."

Ji Hai took a sip of the tea, but he squinted his eyes because of the bitter taste.Ji's family didn't have much money left, so the tea they bought was naturally not good tea.

"Whatever you want, women don't need to get fame."

Ji Laoxiu stroked his beard, nodded without comment, and asked,

"This government test is sure."

Ji Hai put down his tea and rolled up his sleeves,

"The number is five or five."

Ji Lao Xiucai was obviously not satisfied with this answer, he frowned and asked again,

"What did you answer, teach me to listen silently."

Ji Hai picks out what he remembers and reads out.

Ji Laoxiu stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and sighed,

"It's really divided into five or five. Although it is impartial, there is a middle way, and the rhetoric is gorgeous and bright, but the words are empty, and I don't know what to say. It's just a matter of luck."

When Ji Hai heard this, his face sank.Although he claimed to be [-]% or [-]% sure, he thought he was [-]% to [-]% sure, but Ji Laoxiu came to a conclusion, but he was a little unconvinced in his heart.

Ji Laoxiu was holding the book, but he knew what Ji Hai was thinking, so he couldn't help sighing secretly.

There are three sons in Shui's generation, the second is a vagrant, the third is a fool, and only the eldest, Ji Hai, is the most talented, but he has studied for so many years without gaining anything.

Fortunately, the grandchildren of Huo's generation are all promising, especially Ji Huan of Sanfang, who has something to say at a young age, and given time, he may not be able to become a great talent.

Ji Lao Xiucai works as a teacher in a school in the county town on weekdays, and Ji Hai and the three are studying here.Because of Ji Hai's government examination, Ji Laoxiu took a few days off to accompany him. Now that the government examination has come to an end, Ji Laoxiu returned to the county the next day.

Ji Hai rested at home for a few days, and then went to school with Ji Shuo and Ji Huan.Ji's family has returned to its previous calm, working at sunrise and returning at sunset.

But Ji Deng is very clear that such peace is only temporary.

It's been a while longer, and this day is the day that Mr. Ji rests once a month.When Ji Deng followed Ji Jiang back from the field, the courtyard of Ji's house was buzzing with people.

Ji Jiang touched the back of his head,

"It's not a festival or a new year, why are there so many people in our family?"

Ji Deng reacted immediately, probably Ji Haizhen passed the exam.

Sure enough, when the three of Ji Jiang entered the yard, Mrs. Fang was talking with the neighbors, and the smile on her face didn't stop.Mrs. Xu and Ji Hai stood together, talking with Mr. Ji and Li Zheng.Ji Shuo raised his chin and followed Ji Huan into the study.

Monk Ji Jiang, who was only two feet tall, couldn't figure it out, so he was dragged away by the Fang family who forced a smile, leaving only Ji Deng brothers and sisters standing in place.

"elder brother……"

Ji Xiaomei was not used to seeing so many people, so she timidly pulled Ji Deng by the corner of his clothes and shrank behind him.

"Come on, let's go back to the house."

Ji Deng protected her sister and walked to the compartment where the two lived.As soon as the door is closed, it seems that the sound is cut off from the outside, and the room where the brothers and sisters stay is quiet and safe.

Ji Dengmao crawled out from under the woodpile to find two dumplings and shared them with Ji Xiaomei. Ji's family didn't care about them tonight.

Sitting on the bed, Ji Xiaomei gnawed on the dumpling and asked,

"Brother, what's going on outside?"

"Uncle has been admitted to Tongsheng, and he is celebrating."

"why?"

"because…"

Ji Deng paused, his eyes were not mature enough for his age,

"If you pass the Tongsheng exam, you can go to the scholar exam."

Although Ji Xiaomei still didn't understand, she lost interest and stopped asking. She hugged her dumpling and fell asleep after eating.

Sitting on the bed, Ji Deng gently patted Ji Xiaomei's back to coax her to sleep, but he didn't feel sleepy.

If you pass the Tongsheng exam, then you will go to the Xiucai exam.I don't know if it's this year or if it's another three years.

The answer was soon revealed.

Ji Hai proudly announced to Ji's family at the dinner table that he was going to take this year's provincial examination.The Xu family, Ji Shuo, and Mrs. Fang were naturally very happy. Although Ji Laoxiu was in the county, he also expressed his support for Ji Hai's examination of the scholar.

Fang's heart was so sad that she wanted to die, but she still had to say a few nice words on her face.But as soon as he entered his own room, his face drooped immediately.

What a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse!

Fang's resentment, that is, her family Ah Huan is still young and can't get out of the game. After a few years, she will definitely be able to suppress the limelight of Da Fang.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was furious, Ji Jiang cautiously advised,

"Brother is going to be admitted as a scholar, and he can teach Ah Huan to study in the future. It will also benefit our family. Don't be angry."

Fang sneered,

"What a fart, if you really pass the exam, don't you come here to teach your own son first, and then follow your nephew? Apart from a good name, what else can I get? When I borrowed money back then It's nice to say, and there isn't even a copper coin returned right now! You're the only idiot who still believes in other people's good words!"

Fang's words became more and more angry, and she stroked her chest a few times.Ji Jiang waited on him carefully,

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, it hurts your body."

Fang sneered,

"Meeting your elder brother and sister-in-law, why don't I hurt myself! The student who was admitted to the exam borrowed forty Wen from our family, and now the student who is admitted to the exam doesn't know how much he will borrow!"

Ji Jiang stood aside resentfully,

"We're all in the same family, so why are we so clearly divided? It's normal for elder brother not to join hands with the money spent on studying. In the future, when Ah Huan takes the exam, we may have to borrow some money from elder brother."

Fang rolled her eyes, she didn't believe that Da Fang's gang of selfish people could lend them money.Besides, if the money came from her family, Ah Huan, Fang would naturally be willing.But the problem is, she just can't be reconciled to Dafang.

Ji Jiang wanted to say more, but was swallowed back by Fang's eyes.

Fang took Ji Jiang and instructed carefully,

"Mother or Dafang borrowed money from you, don't give me a stupid answer, you have to wait for my consent before you know. If you dare to lend them money secretly, I will take Ah Huan back to my house , you find another wife to have a baby with you and live with you!"

Ji Jiang didn't dare, and quickly responded with all his mouth.

Mrs. Xu sent away the high-spirited Ji Hai and his son, and then went back into Granny Fang's room.

"Mother, the cost of this examination is no less than that of the county examination. Even if the daughter-in-law spends the first half of the year working day and night, it still won't be enough."

Xu frowned, looking embarrassed.

Granny Fang was also in a dilemma.There is not much money left for Ji Hai to pay Ji Hai for the county examination, and even Granny Fang's own private house has been moved a lot.But there are about ten people in Ji's family, and eating and drinking will always cost money.Ji Hai said that he was going to be a scholar, and Granny Fang was naturally willing, but no matter how hard it was to get the money out, Granny Fang was worrying these days, so Mrs. Xu came.

Mrs. Fang shook Xu's hand, earnestly,

"Boss daughter-in-law, you also know that it is too much for the family to support so many scholars. But it is a big event for the eldest brother to take the exam, and we have to support it. Seeing that A Shuo has reached the age of marriage, Why don't you push back and wait for the boss to come back after passing the exam, and then choose a better one."

Mrs. Xu obviously took it for granted.There is a father who is a scholar and a father who is a child, which one can tell Ji Shuo a better marriage, Xu's heart is clear.It's just that it's clear, but it can't be "clear" easily, so I frowned again and said with a smile,

"Daughter-in-law knows, it's all up to mother."
