During the meal, we were busy grabbing delicious food and had no time to speak. After the meal, no one said anything nice or repeated.
Even though Hua Jin felt quite thick-skinned, she felt a little embarrassed to be praised so constantly.
Even the old man Hua Chengtian began to feel a little entangled after satisfying his appetite and learning about the child's craftsmanship. He thought that if he had the child's milk and his mother was with him, it would be okay to change the taste once in a while.
It's a pity that they don't know that their little cotton-padded jacket has made up its mind to follow their advice and there is no need to stop cooking easily.
Helping Nai and Niang, pick vegetables, and clean them will also reduce their burden.
I am not sensitive to oil fumes in a short period of time.
The days that followed went on in an orderly manner, and it was quickly approaching the day when the eldest brother Hua, the second brother, would take the test as a child.
This is also the most important thing for the Hua family this year.
The family started preparing a few days in advance. Not only did they prepare new clothes for the two children to prepare for the exam, but the food in the morning and evening was richer and more nutritious than before. Even the sound of working was much quieter than usual, just because they wanted to Create a good environment for the two children so that they can study hard.
The test site for children is in the county seat. Those who are far away may even have to leave home several days in advance. The same is true for the Hua Yun'ao brothers.
This shows why it is so difficult for poor people to study. Even if the whole family saves money and food to support one person to study, it may not even be able to afford a scholar. After all, studying is the most time-consuming and money-consuming thing. It is better not to be famous. Who doesn't want their children to make a good fortune after being educated, but making a living requires money, and some just stop here.
This is reality, a reality that has to be accepted.
The Hua family decided to leave early in the morning on the third day before the exam.
Crescent City is too far away from here. It takes a day just to travel there, and a day is left to find an inn for the two children to adjust.
Considering that it is far from the county seat, we are also prepared to not be able to find an inn and live in an oxcart. After all, for such an important exam, as long as there are scholars who don’t want to try it, you can imagine the number of people, so you must be prepared. preparation.
If this is the case, the family will have to make more preparations, including water rhubarb feed and food.
Originally, Hua Jin was not prepared to go with her. After all, she still knew the importance of this exam to her brother. As a little girl, she would not join in, so as not to distract her father and brothers from taking care of her.
She didn't expect the outcome. Taking into account various factors, the adults in the family finally decided to take her with them after discussion.
There should be no accidents in the childbirth exam for two children, and the preparations need to be complete, so that even if there is an unexpected event, the granddaughter's blessed space can be used as a precaution.
The unexpected thing he encountered the last time he went to the city, his son told him privately that Old Man Hua knew that living things could be taken into his granddaughter’s space, and he was even more aware of the storage of unorthodox medicines in the space. Although the conditions for entry were a bit harsh, Old Man Hua thinks this is not a problem. .
He even thought about asking his son to carry a few medicine-soaked handkerchiefs with him, just in case, no matter whether there was danger or not on the road.
But the prerequisite for this is that the granddaughter must follow along.
Coupled with the fact that his granddaughter is much more flexible than before and the child is naturally strong, Old Man Hua is really not that worried.
As for persuading the old wife and daughter-in-law to also use the excuse of blessed land, the two of them hesitated but agreed.
The departure time was determined, and in the first two days before departure, Mrs. Qi of Hua cooked a lot of food in the kitchen, especially meat buns and steamed buns. She put them in several pots and placed them in Huajin's blessed space, as well as boiled eggs. Several large portions of hot dishes such as salted duck eggs are also put in. When eating, just use a bowl or plate to scoop out part of it.
Calculating the time spent on the road and adjusting, we would need to stay in the county for at least several days. After preparing so many things, both women felt that it was a bit lacking. After thinking about it, they mixed a few large portions of refreshing cold dishes and Hua Laohan specially went to the town to buy them. The exquisite pastries are collected into the blessed space together with the girl.
Hua Laohan heard that the exam lasted for several days, and even Chu Gong was in the exam room. Naturally, he had to eat. The pastries were durable and made of good stuff. It was best to bring them in. He also smuggled some fruits from his granddaughter. Be transparent in front of your children and let your grandson take you into the examination room with you.
The remaining items that were inconvenient to be placed in the blessed land space were placed directly in the bullock cart, and some were eaten under cover.
It's time to set off early tomorrow morning. We'll have a sumptuous dinner for dinner, and even kill a chicken to make chicken soup.
Of course, in such a special period, Old Man Hua couldn't help but say some words of encouragement. Chicken Soup for the Soul said every word, and Hua Jin couldn't help but admire him.
"... Just do your best and don't put pressure on yourself. Grandpa, grandma, and your parents don't want you to study to be successful. They just want you to be literate and polite. There are countless roads that can only be tried. Only then do you know which one is suitable for you..."
"Your master is right, just think of it as just going out to have fun. It doesn't matter whether you pass the exam or not. It's all about gaining experience. Isn't there a saying that says that studying is not as good as studying." Mrs. Hua said. I forgot.
"It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." If he didn't say anything, he was afraid that the wrinkles between his eyebrows would be so deep that he could pinch a fly. Hua Yunxiang quickly smiled and winked at her. , the unobtrusive look easily stirred up the atmosphere.
He was a little careless, but that didn't mean he was very rough-hearted. How could he not hear the connection between his family members and their words? His heart felt hot. Of course he hoped that such a good family member would always smile.
In his own way.
"Yes, yes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Look, my memory is not good as I get older." Old Mrs. Hua laughed.
"You're not too young to have breast milk," Hua Yun'ao said seriously, with emotion in her eyes. She looked at her family members who were comforting her. She was very lucky to be their child and gave them enough love, tolerance and absolute space. Like a beacon guiding their brothers in the direction when they were confused and lost their way.
"That's right, her breasts are young. Who in our village has breasts as big as hers and is young and good-looking? It's not an exaggeration to say that we are sisters when we stand together." Hua Yunxiang looked at her in disapproval and stood up and hugged her, mouthing The inside seemed to be smeared with honey, which made Mrs. Hua smile happily.
It is said that no matter what age a woman is, she does not like to be praised for being young and beautiful.
"You kid, you are talking nonsense. You can't be so honest outside!"
Mrs. Hua replied playfully when she was happy, and everyone at the table suddenly laughed. The originally slightly serious atmosphere was relaxed when Mrs. Hua said this.
"Nai, don't worry, your grandson is very smart. You only tell the truth at home." Hua Yunxiang winked at Nai slyly.
