After breakfast, the couple took Baby Luo to the yard of Yang Huazhong's house next door.
On the table in the main room, two bowls of tea were still steaming, with a baggage roll beside them.
The bundle opened a corner, revealing the red oranges inside.
"Hey, where did the oranges come from? Did my father go to town this morning?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Mrs. Sun came from behind and said, "No, your third sister-in-law just sent it here."
Third sister-in-law? Chen Jinhong?
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.
"What's wrong with Sister-in-law coming here?" she asked, taking an orange and peeling it in her hand.
Mrs. Sun said: "Nothing happened. I just came over to talk to me and said that I went back to my parents' house with Yongzhi yesterday to burn incense."
"Her father, Qiqi, brought over some oranges picked by relatives over there." Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Sun didn't talk about this topic anymore because Baby Luo was here.
"Come here, baby, let Grandma hold you and play with you."
The woman reached out and took Baby Luo from Luo Fengtang's arms, and then handed her a smaller orange.
"Baby, take it and play with it. Here are the oranges, it's so fun to play with..."
Baby Luo held up the orange in his hand and tilted his head to look at it curiously.
Sun's face was filled with smiles, and she turned to Luo Fengtang over there and said, "Tangyaozi, you should also eat oranges."
Luo Fengtang smiled and nodded.
He came to Yang Ruoqing's side, picked up an orange, and peeled it in his hand.
Listening to Yang Ruoqing and Sun talking there, all the peeled orange flesh was delivered to Yang Ruoqing's hands.
Yang Ruoqing gave him an appreciative look and asked Sun while eating oranges, "Where is my dad? Did he go to the fish pond again?"
Mrs. Sun shook her head: "I'm not going today. Last night the town's security chief sent a message, asking everyone from the villages below to go to the town to have something to do."
Yang Ruoqing nodded. After the autumn harvest, this time should be to inform the people about taxation.
God is kind to this area this year. There was no severe drought or flood.
"Your father left before breakfast. He went to town hungry. I don't know if he knew how to buy two buns at the entrance of the town to satisfy his hunger."
Over there, Sun's slightly worried voice came again.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other, and they both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
That kind of thing is called mutual support.
Just like mom and dad, as time goes by, they become deeper and deeper.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about my dad. He is not a child. Besides, our family's conditions are better now, so dad should be willing to give up those buns for a few cents." Yang Ruoqing comforted Sun.
Sun nodded and saw Luo Fengtang giving all the peeled orange flesh to Yang Ruoqing.
Mrs. Sun felt very relieved.
With a loving smile on her face, the woman said to Luo Fengtang, "Tangyaozi, don't just look after Qing'er, you can eat it yourself."
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Well, there's no rush."
More than half an hour later, the sound of carriage wheels came from outside the yard.
Sun suddenly said: "It's your father who's back. I can hear this sound, it must be your father!"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huazhong drove the carriage through the courtyard gate.
"Haha, my mother and father are really in tune with each other." Yang Ruoqing joked, wiped her hands and mouth, and quickly stood up.
In the yard, Yang Huazhong's carriage had not stopped yet, and excited voices had already been heard in the main room.
"Mother Qing'er, happy event, happy event!"
"Dad, what's the happy event?"
Yang Ruoqing rushed out of the main room immediately and asked urgently.
Yang Huazhong jumped down from the carriage, his face glowing red.
"Your brother Da'an has passed the exam to become a scholar!" he said.
"Really?" Yang Ruoqing suddenly became excited.
"Oh, this is such a happy event!" She said stroking her hands.
Sun followed with Baby Luo in her arms. Upon hearing the news, Sun's reaction was similar to Yang Ruoqing's.
The woman came over and said, "Dad Qing'er, is the news accurate? Did our Da'an really pass the examination?"
The woman asked in a low voice.
Yang Huazhong nodded: "The security chief told me personally, is this still false?"
"The news just arrived in town yesterday. It will be sent to the school where Da'an and the others study in the next two days. The results will be posted by then!" he said.
Hearing this, Mrs. Sun was so excited that she didn't know what to say and her face turned red.
Luo Fengtang was also very happy. He walked over and took the reins from Yang Huazhong's hand: "Father-in-law, you go inside first to talk. I'll park the carriage in the backyard."
Yang Huazhong smiled and nodded, and Luo Fengtang drove the carriage away.
Yang Huazhong reached out and hugged Baby Luo, and Sun and Yang Ruoqing gathered around him.
Yang Ruoqing asked Yang Huazhong: "Dad, Da'an passed the examination as a scholar, but what about Dajie? How did it go in the examination?"
Yang Huazhong smiled and said: "Everyone is successful!"
"Ah? Isn't that a double happiness!" Yang Ruoqing was so happy that her mouth almost tilted to one side.
A younger brother and a cousin, the two boys started their education together, studying in the wind and rain, regardless of the cold or the heat.
I finally see the results, hahaha, what a great first step in the long march!
She said to Mrs. Sun who was also happy next to her: "Mom, you go into the house to talk to dad first. I will go to the yard next door to tell Granny Ga and aunt the good news!"
…
The incident of two scholars happened in Changping Village, and like a hurricane, it swept through eight villages in ten miles in just two days.
Although Dajie is a member of the Sun family, he only started learning after coming to Changping Village.
Therefore, in the hearts of the villagers, Yang Huazhong's house is a geomantic treasure land!
After the house was completed, Da'an and Dajie moved in and both passed the examination.
As a result, many families in the village who wanted to send their children to school began to secretly plan whether to move their houses out of the village as well.
As for Lao Yangtou, his waist is straighter than before.
After Yang Yongxian, there was another scholar in the family.
Moreover, Da'an was able to pass the scholar examination after only two years of schooling. According to this progress, he might still be able to pass the examination in two years!
Everyone in Lao Yang's family was immersed in joy.
On the night when the list was posted, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang took Baby Luo to have dinner at their parents' house.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Sun said to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, "Your uncle, grandma, uncle and aunt are going back to Sunjiagou in the next few days."
"Oh?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, guessing something.
Sun continued: "Dajie is the first scholar in Sunjiagou. This is a great joy."
"Your father-in-law and the others have made a plan and plan to go back to Sunjiagou to hold a banquet. They will invite the villagers and relatives to get together and have a good time with the wine."
Hearing Sun's words, Yang Ruoqing nodded in agreement.
Yang Huazhong said: "When are you leaving? I will send them back to Sunjiagou." (. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Please to m..)
