But with each comparison, the gap between the two families is getting wider and wider, and the more they compare, the more angry they become.
The angrier you get, the more you compete.
There was no hope for his grandchildren. As soon as his two grandsons got married, Mr. Su asked Mrs. Wang to have a baby, hoping that his two newly married grandsons would give birth to a big, fat grandson as soon as possible.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou finally became mothers-in-law and could finally relax.
——
As soon as May passed, June followed.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Su Hua and Zhou Heng are okay, but Su Chong has turned a layer of tan because he is often exposed to the sun while practicing martial arts and has also peeled off a layer of skin.
The college examination is on June 25th.
On June 24, they packed their bags and went to town to meet with Lin Pingsheng. This time, the number of people participating in the college examination was reduced by half.
Some failed the prefectural examination, and some were ranked too high in the prefectural examination. There is no chance of success if they take the prefectural examination. It is better not to go this time, study hard and wait until next time to take part.
So this time, there were only about twenty people there.
Su Xiaolu still accompanied her, and she decided that she would follow her brothers every time they took the exam.
The exam is not easy. She is a little miracle doctor. It will be safer with her.
The time for travel is coming soon, and Liu Zijin has not arrived yet.
Some students could not wait any longer and urged the Master to leave the city quickly.
"Master, let's hurry up. Liu Zijin may be delayed by something, and he can find the way. He came late himself, so we can't keep waiting for him."
The departure time was agreed upon, but Liu Zijin didn't come by this time. It was inevitable that everyone would complain while waiting.
The ladies discussed it and decided to wait another quarter of an hour and leave if they didn't come.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Zijin still didn't come, so the father and son took the students out of the city.
Lin Pingsheng saw that Su Chong and others were still not leaving, so he came over and asked, "What's going on?"
Su Chong said truthfully: "Master, we are on good terms with Liu Zijin. He has not arrived yet. We are worried that something has happened to him. Liu Zijin is very concerned about this exam. He should not be late."
Su Chong and others knew very well how much Liu Zijin cared about this exam.
Both emotionally and logically, Liu Zijin shouldn't be late, but he was late.
Lin Pingsheng said calmly: "Perhaps something has delayed him, and he may not be able to go this time. If you are worried, I will find out where he lives, and you can go and see him after the exam."
Su Chong frowned. He looked at Lin Pingsheng and said firmly: "Master, you go first. I am in good health and my feet are fast. I will wait for him for another hour to see."
Seeing Su Chong's stubborn look, Lin Pingsheng knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he agreed: "Well, Su Hua, Zhou Heng and Xiaolu, let's go first."
The journey of several hours is not easy for a scholar.
Su Hua and Zhou Heng didn't have the energy, so they left first.
Su Xiaolu followed them. Su Chong had martial arts skills, so she wasn't worried.
After the people left, Su Chong waited at the entrance of the town.
He waited for an hour and a half, and when it was noon, he was about to leave, only to see Liu Zijin arriving late.
He was still injured and was very depressed and lame. He did not plan to enter the town, but went directly to Anping County.
Su Chong quickly stopped him: "Brother Zijin."
Liu Zijin paused, turned around lamely, and looked at Su Chong in disbelief: "Brother Su Chong, why are you still here?"
An answer came to him, but he couldn't believe it.
Su Chong looked at Liu Zijin and sighed and said: "You are delaying your arrival. I am waiting for you. I am afraid that something will happen to you and you will be delayed. I want to wait and see. If you come, I will go with you so that I can have company."
Son."
Liu Zijin lowered his eyes and swallowed his lumpy throat: "Brother Su Chong, thank you very much."
Su Chong pulled Liu Zijin to the side and sat down: "You seem to have hurt your foot. Let me show you. We will have to travel for several hours in a while. It's hard to walk with your foot like this."
Liu Zijin almost burst into tears and said anxiously: "Brother Su Chong, it's necessary..."
"I won't help you in vain. When you get rich in the future, just pay me back, one hundred cents."
Su Chong squeezed his hand and knew that the muscles and bones of Liu Zijin's ankle were swollen.
Liu Zijin didn't know how much effort he put into walking this way.
Su Chong injected internal energy into Liu Zijin's ankle to heal his injury and soothe him.
Su Chong didn't ask what was going on, and then left with Liu Zijin on his back.
Liu Zijin exclaimed: "Brother Su Chong, let me down quickly. How can this be done?"
No matter how heavy he was, he only weighed several dozen pounds. How could he let Su Chong carry him on his back?
Su Chong walked steadily and said: "Zijin, I don't know what happened. We are friends, and friends should help each other. We study, not just to gain fame. You work so hard and are so successful."
Talent, I know you will definitely come, unless you have no choice but to come."
"I'm a martial arts practitioner. My master always asks me to wear iron blocks. He knew that I was merciful and didn't ask me to wear them. You're not that heavy. It's not as heavy as the iron blocks I wear. Don't say anything. You're like this.
The foot injury is serious and you need to take a good rest, otherwise it will cause serious problems in the future."
Su Chong had practiced martial arts for more than three years. He could tell at a glance that the injury on Liu Zijin's foot was that the muscles and bones were severely damaged. If he didn't take good care of himself, he would become a lame person in the future if the disease took root.
He regarded Liu Zijin as a friend and had been waiting here for almost two hours. Knowing that Liu Zijin was in trouble, of course he wanted to help.
Liu Zijin choked with sobs, tears dripped on Su Chong's clothes, and he seemed to be trying his best to suppress them.
"Brother Su Chong, I can't repay you for your great kindness. If there is a day when I stand out and there is trouble in the future, I will definitely sacrifice my life to save you."
Liu Zijin endured the hatred in his heart and said firmly to Su Chong.
Su Chong smiled and responded: "Okay."
He came far, far away, and along the way, he was filled with hatred, resentment, and resentment, but he was relieved at this moment.
Su Chong didn't ask anything, but Liu Zijin said everything on the way.
Liu Zijin's family is far away. His father has passed away, and his mother raised him. Three hours after arriving in town, he passed the Tongsheng examination with very good grades.
In that small village, the team leader of the same clan also served as the village chief. His grandson Liu Zijian wanted to replace him, so for more than a month, both mother and son were controlled.
In order to survive, Liu Zijin had to tell Liu Zijian all the answers to the questions he was preparing for the college examination. In the past two days, he even injured his foot.
In the middle of the night, his mother let him go, and Liu Zijin had to take the college examination, so he came anyway.
He didn't have a penny on him, and it was extremely difficult to walk to Anping County with only his injured feet.
He was unwilling to do so. Even if he died, he would die on the way there.
Fortunately, God allowed him to meet Su Chong.
Liu Zijin's voice was a little hoarse, and he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Brother Su Chong, meeting you is my greatest luck, Liu Zijin."
If he misses this opportunity, he will never get ahead. Liu Zijian will take his place in the provincial examination or even the imperial examination, and the real Liu Zijin will be trapped behind him and become Liu Zijian's think tank!
