Chapter 121: Scholars

In autumn, it was busy, and Zhixin had to help the Lin family clean up the house and build roads. The family was not equipped with enough staff, so it became even busier.

After the tenth day of August, the crops in the fields should be recycled. At this time, the Lin family also stopped the work at the winery and rushed to reclaim the crops. The Xu family has planted a lot of land this year and has also dug a lot of ginseng soil, so it is even more nervous during the autumn harvest.

Jinghan and the others didn't stop and went to collect the fields. Mingyu followed Jinghan all over the mountain every day, constantly making things at home, such as making cakes of mountain grapes, squeezing seeds and drying skins in the mountains, or picking pears and peeling cubes. Anyway, I had a lot of fun every day, and I also saved a lot of delicious food. Mingyu was looking forward to my elder brother not sending someone to pick him up too early, and it would be great if I could live on the mountain for a few more days.

Reclaiming the ground is undoubtedly a very tiring job. When breaking the corn cob, it will be cut by corn leaves or face. When cutting beans with a sickle, it will be pierced by bean pods. The other crops are the same, and nothing is easy to do. Mingyu can only truly experience the hardships of farmers at this time. "Sister, I understand now. I dare not eat this or that in the future. Oh my god, it is really not easy for farmers to grow food. If I don't care about food, it should be thunder." Mingyu was bent down to cut beans, pounding his back twice and saying.

Jinghan is determined to temper Mingyu, so he will take Mingyu to do all kinds of work. However, Jinghan also knows it, so he won’t make him too tired, just experience all kinds of work. Fortunately, Mingyu has been training with everyone on the mountain and down the river for a while, and he can barely deal with these work. "Yes, the food grown by farmers has worked hard to get every porridge and meal, so we must know how to cherish it. When Mingyu returns home in the future, he must remember what he says today and cherish the results of others' hard work. Do you remember?"

"Hey, sister, don't worry, Mingyu knows." Mingyu continued to cut beans with a sickle. He was a very smart child. No matter what work he had, he could do it at a glance. He picked up the sickle for a while and had already done it well.

Zhixin, who was there, looked back and couldn't help but say, "Mingyu is really a good person, he did a good job. If he didn't know, he would definitely think you were a farmer."

The Xu family likes Li Mingyu very much. Others are cute but have no airs. They can't see the arrogance of wealthy children. This is the most popular thing. No matter what work there is at home, Mingyu has to help, and even if he works slower, he still has to do it. The Xu family naturally has no shortage of such a job, but this attitude makes people feel very comfortable.

The old man brought Wenxuan and Wenchang back from the town. Looking at the harvested food, the old man was filled with joy and kept sighing. The old man found Mingyu and naturally had to ask clearly, so Zhixin had to explain it to his father. After hearing this, the old man did not say he did not agree, but said that since he agreed to the other person, he had to fulfill his promise and take good care of Mingyu. Zhixin hurriedly said yes.

Wenxuan and Wenchang naturally saw Mingyu, and Wenxuan felt that Wenxuan was quite right about this chubby peer. "When the crops are harvested in the past two days, I will take you to make a pine tower. The thing is thrown into the fire and burn it, and the pine nuts that are peeled off are fragrant." Wenxuan said.

Jinghan glanced at her younger brother. Wenxuan had grown up in love in the past two years, and she didn't have the chubby feeling she was as chubby as a child. Maybe it was because she really liked the chubby feeling, so she treated Mingyu better and better. "What are our elder sister doing at home?"

"What else can I do? Embroidered wedding clothes. I'm going to get married in winter, and there are a lot of things to do. Brother Pengcheng is going to take the exam. If he can pass this time, our elder sister will become a scholar's wife. However, I still don't like my elder sister getting married." Wenxuan curled his lips, not like the feeling of my elder sister not being at home in the future.

Jinghan cuts beans from the ground, "No matter which one is, she will leave home when she grows up. Look at Uncle Wu, this is even further away. Fortunately, the eldest sister married into the town, not far away, and she will meet often in the future." Jinghan doesn't like her sister getting married, but women will eventually take this step in their life, no matter which era they are.

"Then my second sister will find someone close to you in the future, otherwise I won't agree." Wenxuan said a little coquettishly.

Jinghan shook her head and smiled. This marriage is not something that anyone can do. "No matter where we are in the future, we just need to think about our family."

The Xu family can have a total of about 70 acres of land. Everyone took them together and took them back after three or four days. It happened to be August 14th, and the old lady said that this year was Jingya's last time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, so she asked everyone to try their best to celebrate the festival. Fortunately, the village set a place to get a baton on August 16th, and the time was too fast, so Zhixin and the others left behind Wang and Fang families, and prepared a lot of food for them to celebrate the festival well on the mountain. Then Zhixin took the Xu family and Mingyu back to the town, and took all the things Mingyu's brother sent back.

Zhixin and the others returned to the town in a ox cart. Before they could reach the door of their house, they saw a lot of people surrounding the Xu family. They heard the sound of firecrackers from afar. Jinghan was a little confused and looked up at his father. "Dad, hurry up, let's see what's wrong." Zhixin nodded, raised the whip in his hand, and the cow left faster.

The family came to their doorstep. Zhixin got off the ox cart and shouted while walking in, "Everyone is giving up, everyone is giving up, the master is back." Zhiming behind drove another car, and now he got out of the car. Wencheng, Wenxuan, and Wenchang all jumped out of the car. The children of the Xu family were tall and strong, so they just rushed inside.

The people around the door of the Xu family naturally had neighbors. When everyone saw that it was the Xu family who had returned, they quickly moved aside and said, "Everyone hurry up and let the scholar's parents come back."

Jinghan heard it behind and his heart was thrilled, "Master Scholar? Are you talking about the eldest brother?"

At this time, the crowd had already separated, and the Xu family came to the gate smoothly. They happened to see Wen Han standing among the crowd and saluting the people around them, "Dear neighbors, my nephew is not talented. I can pass the scholar today, and it is also the blessing of the ancestors of the Xu family. My nephew just came back from the capital city and was exhausted all the way. I also asked all uncles, uncles, Rong and Nephew to wash up, meet the family, and then discuss the banquet for you to invite you to your neighbors."

While talking, Zhixin brought his family to Wenhan. When his relatives met, he patted his son on the shoulder again in such a happy scene. "Son, good." Then he turned around to face the crowd behind him. "Dear neighbors, today the dog is lucky to be a scholar. Xu has nothing to say. He has a drink at noon and everyone comes to drink."

The old man was so beautiful that he stood there and said, "Yes, yes, come to have a drink at noon, everyone comes, everyone comes."

There were a few people next to him, who looked like people in the yamen. Zhixin had experienced Zhixiang's academic performance as a scholar before, so he understood. He quickly took out some silver and distributed it to those people. "In a hurry, he can't give a red envelope. Please forgive me. Please give me some thoughts. Take it to the bar." Zhixin gave those people five taels of silver each.

When a few people saw the heavy silver in their hands, they immediately smiled, "What is Mr. Xu saying? It is our honor to announce the good news to the scholar."

The old man led his children and grandchildren to talk to these people here, while Xue and Zhu took their children into the gate to meet Chen.

The only people in the family were Chen, Jingya, Jingwan, and Lao Wang. Chen didn't know what was going on outside, so he sent Lao Wang out to take a look. It happened that everyone was back, and the old lady realized that her eldest grandson had won the scholar. "Oh, Merrill, hurry up and take some money, and all the good news would have to give them red envelopes. This is a courtesy and can't save." Chen got up to get the money.

Xue stopped her, "Mom, Zhixin has given the money to others. Our family has not been so tight in recent years. We have money in our hands, so you don't have to take it out."

Chen didn't listen, and still took out some money and handed it to Xue. "Isn't I going to prepare lunchtime if I don't give me some money? Hurry up, take the money to the market and prepare quickly. This is our family's great joy, so I have to celebrate it." The old lady loved her eldest grandson the most, and she was so happy that she couldn't even get along with the news.

Xue took the money and went with Zhu to discuss what to do at noon, and then the sisters-in-law went out to prepare. Of course, there were a lot of things to buy, so they couldn't get it, so Wencheng and others followed.

Chen had not passed his happiness yet, but he noticed Jinghan and Jingxian, as well as the fat man beside Jinghan. "Yeah, whose child is this? He looks so good. Come on, come here and let me see, this little thing is a blessing. Jinghan, don't you tell grandma who this is?"

Jinghan quickly told grandma about Mingyu's origin, and finally said, "Grandma, it was too noisy just now, so I forgot to introduce it to you. Mingyu, this is our grandma, just call grandma as well."

Mingyu hurried over to salute Chen, "Boy Li Mingyu, I have met Grandma Xu."

Chen pulled Mingyu over and looked at him carefully, nodding. "Good child, since he has come here, just take this as the home. If you want to eat and play, go to your sister Jinghan. She has many ideas. Stay here with peace of mind, and don't have to miss home, just treat this place as your home." Since the son agreed to stay this child, the old lady would certainly not object. Besides, Mingyu is so cute that the old lady likes it at first sight, so naturally there will be no unhappiness.
