Cheng Xue tightened her arms when she heard this, feeling particularly satisfied with the soft little girl in her arms.
"Let's go pick up your dad after breakfast, and then go to the restaurant to have dinner and celebrate."
"Celebrate? What are you celebrating?"
Li Tian's confused look was particularly pleasing. Cheng Xuejian pecked her forehead and explained:
"Of course it's to celebrate your dad's passing the exam! No matter what the final result is, if you can persevere, you are a hero."
"Is he the kind of hero who protects his country?"
"Yes, that's the kind." Cheng Xue nodded.
It's not just that you can protect your family and country by joining the army. As an ordinary citizen, as long as you raise your children well, have upright values, be patriotic, and be kind, you can actually protect your family and country in another way.
The couple stayed tired for a while before getting up and washing up. When they came to the front hall, breakfast had been set and several children were discussing who should call them.
As soon as Li Huai saw his mother, he immediately came up to her and hugged her waist tightly——
"Mom, I miss you so much. I haven't seen you for many years."
"How could there be such a thing? It's unclear what to say."
"Why not? Grandpa Pang taught me, 'One day without seeing you is like three autumns apart', but I haven't seen you for many years."
Looking at the little guy, Cheng Xue pursed her lips and chuckled, patted his back, and came to the table with her children.
In preparation for the start of the trial operation, she indeed left early and came home late. The children were not awake when she got up, and they had already fallen asleep when she came back. Looking at Li Hengxin's envious eyes, she walked behind the children, one in each hand, and held both sons in her arms.
ri.
"Thank you for your hard work, my three little heroes. Because of you at home, my mother can go out and do it with peace of mind. Thank you."
When the three brothers and sisters heard this, they all raised the corners of their mouths, nodded heavily, and looked happy. Being recognized by adults is the best compliment for children.
Breakfast is the same as at home, with one boiled egg for each person, half a bowl of millet porridge, steamed buns, flower rolls, and a cup of milk. It is very rich and nutritious. Now Li Yue is responsible for preparing three meals a day at home, which shows that she has completely mastered it.
, don’t worry.
After breakfast, Li Yue took the initiative to go to the main courtyard to find Cheng Xue with the account books she managed.
"Mom, here are the accounts for the past few days. Take a look."
Cheng Xue took it and nodded after reading it.
"Very good, you did a good job. Mom can rest assured that you will marry someone and take care of the family in the future."
"Mother~ what are you talking about?" Li Yue's face turned red and she stamped her feet in annoyance.
It was rare for a young daughter to be so coquettish. Cheng Xue smiled and pinched her cheeks and said:
"It will happen sooner or later. Let's not talk about this for now. You go and ask your brother and sister to change their clothes. When we pick up your father, we will go to the house."
"Okay mom, can we eat at home tonight?"
"If we don't eat at home, there are night stalls in the capital. Let's go there and look for something to eat."
"Well, okay."
Li Yue left with the account book in her arms. Cheng Xue looked at the child's back, planning where to go to play.
They have been in Beijing for a while, but their family has not gone anywhere. At most, they have gone shopping on the main street and just looked at the flowers. Whether they can pass the palace examination is not important anymore. They take the children out and broaden their horizons.
This is the essence of this trip to Beijing.
After a short repair, the family set out for Gongyuan.
Compared with the number of people accepted in the first test, the fifth test was obviously much inferior. People gave up one after another after the first test. By the fifth test, not even half of the Gongyuan seats could be filled.
It is said that in the past, absenteeism was not allowed in the National Examination, but this year when they registered, they specifically mentioned that absences were allowed and there would be no prosecution.
It seems now that they had already decided to solve tricky problems at that time, so they stopped some money-intolerant moves and promptly stopped their losses. From going to Beijing to renting a house, they saved everything they could, including doctors and bodyguards, all at no cost.
It costs a lot of money, not to mention other people.
It is not easy to support a scholar, but it is even more difficult to support a scholar to go to Beijing to take the exam.
They are lucky. Their family has a profitable business, and their ancestors have given them money. Otherwise, if they had to work alone, Li Hui would not even be a scholar at this time. It would be difficult to concentrate on working to support the family.
Go to school.
Of course, these are all "ifs", and there are no ifs in life.
"Squeak...ah..."
The sound of a heavy door opening came. What was different from the previous four times was that this time the move came out quickly and happily, and everyone's face was filled with smiles, and they were completely different from before.
Li Huai had sharp eyes and pointed in the distance and kept shouting "Dad". By the time Cheng Xue saw the person, Li Hui was almost there.
She naturally took the child in her arms, hugged Li Tian in her arms, and said happily:
"I didn't have to wait long this time. The three of us were the first to come out."
Cheng Xue looked at Zhou Fei and knew Xiao Qinglin's face without asking, he must have done well in the exam.
After everyone exchanged a few words, Xiao Qinglin was picked up by the mother-in-law beside his mother. Zhou Fei also left with Lian. As for Lian's biological brother, he didn't come for the fifth scene.
Several people got on the car, Cheng Xue walked at the back, frowning as she watched three people in the same clothes get into the carriage not far away, and Lian Yulan behind them.
"What's wrong, why don't you get in the car?"
Li Hui asked, followed her gaze, and then said in confusion:
"You are Zhou Fei's brother-in-law, are you here to pick up his brother-in-law? The direction is wrong, right?"
He didn't see the triplets entering the car, but Zhou Fei and Lian were walking to the west. This direction was east, which was obviously wrong.
I wanted to go over and remind him, but Cheng Xue pulled me into the car directly.
"We are not going home today. We will go directly to the string house to eat. After eating, we will rest in the backyard. After we have rested, we will go to the teahouse to listen to books, and in the evening we will visit the night stalls in the capital."
"Okay, okay." Li Heng couldn't help but nodded, "It's been so long since I've been in Beijing, but the last time my parents took us to visit a house on the main street, we came and went in such a hurry, so boring."
"So, I'll make it up to you once. When I have time, I'll ask Uncle Xiao if there are any mountains around the capital. Let's go hiking with some food and have fun for a day."
Cheng Xue's words made several children look forward to it. They were all at a playful age. Going out to play and farming were two different things. Li Hui looked at her and knew that she was hiding something. However, due to the presence of the children,
, I can only ask again when I get home at night.
We talked and laughed all the way, and when the carriage arrived in front of the string house, there was no parking space in the open space.
When we first installed the shop, we deliberately smoothed the front. Because the shop is at the end, we cleared out all the junk piled at the end and paved it with red bricks to serve as a parking lot.
Just for this piece of land, Xiao Qinglin did not hesitate to find his father. There was no other reason. The open space was not small, and no one cared about it when the rags were piled up. But when someone was there to clean it up, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen came immediately. If it weren't for Xiao Song's high position, they would
All your hard work will be in vain.
It can be seen that the capital is not a fair place!
