A happy life always feels like it goes by very quickly. This year’s autumn harvest is pretty good, God has given us food to eat, and the weather is good. This year, the village finally doesn’t have to worry about starving to death. His family’s drying field has played a big role. In the past, it would have been good if the rice could be put into the warehouse within five days. This year, it will be enough if it takes less than four days.

Soon, the new year has passed. This year is Li Miao's first New Year in this world, so he mainly goes to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices. He was quite familiar with this procedure. He had read it from books, but this was his first time experiencing it in person. Even when he kowtowed in the ancestral hall, he vaguely felt the approval of his ancestors. It seems that the hidden danger to the soul has been completely eradicated, so Li Miao also prayed and prayed for success in this year's science examination while kneeling down.

Today, in the front yard of Li's house, there was a lot of people. The heads of the Li family and the Hu family were even present in person. Villagers even packed half of the yard. fortunately. Li Miao's yard was originally large. This is an ordinary monthly exam. There will be one every month starting in August. The long-term workers of Li Miao's family have long been used to it. It has been seven months since the village guard team was established for the high school entrance examination today. Because the exam was suspended during the Chinese New Year last month, this is called the semi-annual assessment for village guards.

It is very important to the guards, as it is related to their tenth place of 200 coins this month. The ninth place has 250 essays per month. By analogy, the first place, Lu Baiwu, has Shiwen per month. Don't worry about being widowed but worry about injustice.

There is no such thing as human beings are inherently hierarchical societies, and it is most reasonable to divide people into different levels based on ability. This will also give the village guard more motivation, and one size fits all will not work. Besides, they are different now. In the past, their biggest wish was to be full, but now, because they go to restaurants in the town to eat three days out of four, they are also famous in the town.

You said he was a boy of fourteen, fifteen or six years old, how could he not like to show off? In seven months, except for the grandson of Li Fugui's family who looked at the gate, who was more than a boy, the others had become young boys, and their force value was... good. Not long after the New Year, I heard that someone in the town started poaching. Although these young men still want to be happy. Resolutely refuse to obey.

But Li Miao has to start thinking about recruiting. Relying on previous favors alone is unreliable. Why haven't they donated yet? Besides, they didn’t know they were going to donate it.

So Li Bing and Li Jun were let out. Those who performed well and had potential would be taught the subsequent martial arts after one year. There are still monthly cases available after half a year.

That's why there was such a big scene today. The villagers and clan leaders were invited to watch, and it also meant to show off their power and show off the strength of the village guard. To deter those with evil intentions, he will take the scientific examination soon, and the family can feel a little more at ease. Today, names will be awarded according to the ranking of the competition.

This is not a small matter. Giving a name is almost the same as master-disciple status. If you are the second best. If your surname is Li, then you will be called Li Er, and from now on if you are surnamed Hu, you will be called Hu Er. None of these team members had names at first. They were all children from poor families, and they all called themselves "cat" or "dog".

After seven months of training, you can see whether he is a dragon or an insect. In the current compound, the most envious thing is a bunch of young men. These team members were originally on the same level as them, but now, they are basically a head above them. Who wouldn't be envious when I see the team members going out of the village to eat noodles in the town?

Now. Even the one who came in through the back door was almost as tall as them. He just looks small among a group of team members. People in the same village usually make fun of him. They are not even the ones to open the back door. Except for the smallest one, none of them are less than 170 centimeters. There are even two that are over 180 centimeters tall.

Now Li Miao is no longer conspicuous in the village. He originally grew to 178 centimeters in less than half a year. Everyone looked sideways. Later, after the Li couple came back, some of the pressure was relieved, but now the villagers have become accustomed to it. Now it seems that the short stature in this world is not due to genetic problems, but because of insufficient food.

Now Shopkeeper Liu's monthly profits are sixty taels less, which means that these guys are eating up at least seventy taels of silver every month. What is the concept of eating nearly 500 taels of silver from Li Miao in seven months? That is to say, when Li Miao first came here, the fields, grandma, and his money were eaten up by these guards in seven months.
