Xiao Qinglin looked at the bright and clean back room, which was completely different from when he came in the morning.
At that time, there was ashes everywhere, and the house was very cold. I wanted to ask Barry to find someone to clean it up, but I was afraid that interfering too much would hurt the self-esteem of the couple.
During the Chinese New Year, his second uncle specifically told him that he should leave room for dealing with others, but he didn’t know whether the room he left this time was the right one.
"Brother, take me to the next door and take a look?"
"Okay."
The east room where the two went first was not as big as the main room, but the back room was the same and the furniture was the same.
Li Hui lit the candle, and Xiao Qinglin took advantage of the situation and sat on the kang.
"Brother, this year's college examination has been postponed."
"...Why?"
I guessed that he called me because he had something to say, but I didn't expect that it would be such "breaking" news.
Is this year’s college examination going to be cancelled?
No, didn’t Li Fang be notified to take the annual exam?
"Brother, don't worry, it's a good thing that the college examination has been postponed. There have been many scholars in Liangyan in recent years. They don't take the annual examinations and don't receive rice because of their age, but they still hold the title of scholar. Magistrate Pan couldn't stand it. Last year he
I gave the government a proposal and wanted to streamline it. If it is approved now, it depends on the results. If it is good, it will be promoted in all states and prefectures. This is an opportunity, and I must seize it."
Li Hui specifically mentioned this to Wang Sen earlier, but he didn't expect the result to come out so quickly.
No, it can’t be Wang Sen. He is just a government official and can’t even get in front of Magistrate Pan.
"This matter... was your second uncle's idea?"
"Not entirely. He has wanted to do this for a long time, but has always been blocked. My second uncle helped him, which can be regarded as a favor for me in the future."
Xiao Qinglin confessed that in front of Li Hui, he had no secrets and did not want to have secrets.
"In short, starting from the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, I will study hard. There is no need to argue the case, as long as I can win. I look forward to the ideas I mentioned will be realized in five or ten years."
He is talented and has a good foundation. As long as there is nothing wrong with him, there should be no problem.
Xiao Qinglin has full confidence in him, and Li Hui himself is gearing up. Now he has to work steadily and overcome difficulties step by step.
"By the way, brother, there is one more thing. Wang Sen has resigned from the office and is focusing on studying at home. But I found out too late that I couldn't send him to Mr. Chen. He is now studying in the county academy."<
/p>
"He really did this? Didn't he not mention it later? He stopped supporting the family?"
Three questions in a row made Xiao Qinglin scratch his head uncomfortably.
"Well...I have arranged a way out for him. If he fails the exam this time, he can work as an accountant in my restaurant. Anyway, he has a working status, whether he is in the county government or a restaurant, it doesn't matter. And the salary I give is better than
There are many county offices."
"Are you so kind to everyone?" Li Hui couldn't help but ask.
Although he is free to help whom he wants, such a warm-hearted and kind-hearted person can be easily taken advantage of.
Xiao Qinglin also understood the meaning of his words and shook his head with a smile.
"No, I'm not stupid. When I had a drink with him last time at your house, I found that he has a strong sense of strength in his bones. If he is lucky enough to be an official, he will definitely benefit the people, and it will also be a blessing to me, Liang Yan." p>
He is at a passionate age, plus he has been studying since he was a child, and he has his own insistence on patriotism and loyalty to the court.
This kind of heart is rare and even more valuable. Knowing that he is not a bad person, Li Hui is relieved. Now he hopes that Wang Sen can stand out in the county examination and then seamlessly participate in the college examination.
After dinner, Xiao Qinglin was sent away, and Li Hui went into the house with a basin of hot water.
"Stop sewing. The light is not good at night. Do you need your eyes? Come here and heat your feet to relieve fatigue."
"Don't worry, I'll finish sewing this point." As she spoke, Cheng Xue bit off the thread and took out the mattress cover she got from home, "Help me."
After putting on the clothes on the thick and soft mattress, Li Hui touched it and sighed:
"It has to be cotton from Fucheng. It's so comfortable."
Cheng Xue had previously confessed that the quilts he made this time would be taken to Fucheng and the capital, so he picked them all and bought them.
"Send it to Tangtang's house, so that my daughter can be more delicate. After sending it, go and see if Tiedan and the others need anything. Don't get up early tomorrow and have a good sleep."
Speaking of which, she hasn't slept much since time travel. Occasionally, she gets up late because she feels unwell.
Li Hui put the needlework into the cabinet before going out. There were no lights in either room, so he went to the west room first.
In the house, Li Yue was washing Li Tian's feet. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and said:
"Why haven't you gone to bed yet? Is the mattress ready?"
"Your mother hurriedly made a bed for you two to use first. After washing, go to bed quickly. Remember to hang the door. Have you brought in the children's bucket?"
"I brought it in." Li Yue replied, "Dad, don't let my mother work at night and tire her eyes."
"I know, she's burning her feet. She'll go to bed later. What's missing? I'll buy some tomorrow."
"Well, dad should go to bed early."
Li Hui heard the sound of her hanging the door bolt, and then he went to Li Heng's side with confidence. He did not enter the house, but only let someone come out to lock the door.
If you don’t bring a tiger with you, if someone climbs over the wall and comes in at night, it will be easy to cause trouble if you don’t open the door.
When I returned to the house, I saw Cheng Xue making a mattress again, and I immediately felt unhappy.
"Do you hate debt so much? Can't you do it tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, on the eighth day of the lunar month, avoid acupuncture. I won't do it when you come back."
Cheng Xue had a good attitude and took two more stitches and quickly put them away.
There are particular things to do when stitching during the first lunar month of Liaodong: no sewing is done on the third, fourth and eighth days.
When Li Hui was burning her feet, he told her about Wang Sen. After hearing this, Cheng Xue thought the same as him, this Xiao Qinglin was too warm-hearted. However, Wang Sen was a bit of a jerk, and he was not evil-minded and could be dated. p>
"I hope he can succeed in the joint entrance examination this time, and Qiu Wei will take the Juren Examination with you."
Oh, I really have confidence in him.
Li Hui went out to pour water in a good mood and bolted the door of the house. Just like in Wanghe Village, Li Huai slept between the two, Cheng Xue lay on the end of the kang, and Li Hui slept on the corner of the kang.
"Hey, do you think Li Fang can come to the county to take the annual exam this time?"
"As long as you don't die, it should be fine."
Li Hui's answer was very hard, so hard that even Cheng Xue didn't know how to explain it.
What do you mean by just not dying? Is it possible to die just because you don’t take the annual exam? If you really die, Li Qingnian’s life will be difficult in the future.
"A sneeze—A sneeze—A sneeze—"
Jiang Jianye looked at Li Qingnian who kept sneezing, sighed and said:
"You should pay attention to your health during this period. Your father loves you the most. Seeing you like this will make him feel uneasy."
Li Qingnian knelt upright in front of the soul, motionless and silent.
Not many people came to express their condolences, not even many actual relatives at home came. Those people who were good friends with him on weekdays were not there when he arrived.
It was Jiang Jianye who helped set up the funeral shed. Today he has fully understood what it means to "have tea when people leave".
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Jianye continued to speak, gave Qin a few words, turned around and left...
