After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 189 Passed the exam

At Goudan's house, he was eating rice while his grandfather was counting silver and money beside him.

"Alright, sir, you've already ordered three times. What's wrong?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "Just eat your meal, why do you care how many times I order?"

Goudan curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, the days of making money are still to come. When the time comes, you can order three more times and you won't have to work for a day."

"You little brat, you just know how to brag!"

The old man laughed and scolded, with a happy look on his face. He let out a long sigh, sat down next to his grandson, and gave him earnest instructions.

"It's not easy to find a job that pays well. Be sure to do your job well and don't cause any trouble. Be careful when you work and don't make any mistakes. Got it?"

Goudan put down his bowl, wiped his mouth, and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, sir. After a while, I'll ask my third brother to introduce me to a wife, and you can just wait to have a great-grandson."

The old man's serious expression suddenly broke, and he patted him on the back: "I don't know who he looks like, but he's becoming more and more unruly every day! If you can't marry her, you can just live with your third brother!"

Although these families who received wages did not work for the Qin family for a long time, it brought them hope and they felt that this was the beginning of good days.

Although the people in the village had no way of knowing exactly what happened in the Qin family every day, people's joy could not be hidden.

The village is so small that if an egg drops at one end of the village, the sound can be heard at the other end. People who work for the Qin family have a better life, and everyone else knows it.

Seeing others making money right before their eyes, it would be a lie to say that they are not envious. Some people start to have ideas.

"Feng Ping, Feng Ping?"

Qian Fengping was busy in the kitchen with everyone when she suddenly heard someone shouting outside the yard. She quickly wiped her hands and came out.

Then she saw Uncle Wang from the village carrying a bundle of firewood and putting it in front of her house. He said, "I went up the mountain to carry firewood today. This bundle is for your family. Your family needs a lot, so don't be polite!"

Qian Fengping quickly grabbed an egg from the kitchen and stuffed it into her uncle's hand: "No, no, your life is not easy..."

After that, every few days, the villagers would either deliver vegetables or help fetch water. When she went to wash clothes, people would rush to help her.

She was at a loss for words when she told Fang Tong at the dinner table: "I've never been cared for and looked after by so many people. I know what they mean. I'm afraid to go out."

Fang Tong put down his bowl and waved his hand: "Why are you afraid to go out? They send things, just respond as you please, and it will be fine after a while."

After a few times, there were indeed fewer people coming to the door. If people accepted the gifts, they had to give gifts in return. If too many people came, it would seem like they were trying to take advantage. The Qin family's intentions were actually written on their faces.

Liu Cui and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. There had been many people watching them recently, but after the Qin family gave them some advice, they stopped.

One day, an ox cart came to the village entrance.

Sitting in the car were Qin Gaofei and his son Qin Shucai.

Qin Gaofei was sitting on the ox cart, feeling so proud and satisfied. Today the county examination results were announced, and his son ranked 42nd!

Although only 45 people were admitted, and the ranking was a bit low, it was still a good thing to be on the list, and I could take part in the provincial examination!

They had been staying in the county town for a while, and whenever someone came over to greet him while checking the list, he would be very proud.

In the end, his son quickly pulled him away.

But Qin Gaofei was a restless person. As soon as the ox cart arrived at the village entrance, he stopped when he saw someone and started showing off to them that his son had graduated from high school.

"What? Shucai passed the exam? Oh, this is such great news!"

"Oh my God, did you pass the exam?"

"What is this, scholar?"

"No way, I'll have to pass the exam next time!"

"What? Only those who pass the government examination can become Tongsheng. How can you be a Xiucai?"

The people at the entrance of the village started chattering and people from the surrounding areas immediately came out to watch the fun, and soon a lot of people gathered here.

"Oh, how could I tell you that I've been reading books since I was little? This kid is different from other kids. He's smart and steady. You can't tell at a glance that he's not like us who can only dig for food in the fields!"

"At the same age, when others were studying, my son was still rolling in the mud. Alas, this seedling is different!"

Those present complimented Qin Gaofei one moment and praised Qin Shucai the next, which made him feel very uncomfortable and he could only smile awkwardly.

Qin Shucai realized that his ranking was a bit low with this score, and it was hard to say whether he could pass the provincial examination.

On his way back, he wanted his father to not be so conspicuous and just go into the village and go home, but his father didn't listen to him at all.

At this moment, he looked at his father, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing, and everyone was flattered.

He tugged at his father's clothes from behind, trying to remind him that it was enough and to go home quickly, but his father pretended not to know.

"Everyone is right. Look at the scholar Qin in the past. He was a student at the age of sixteen and a scholar at the age of nineteen. My son is only fourteen now! He can pass the imperial examination at this age. This is a real talent, right?"

At such a happy moment, everyone praised him and everyone cooperated with him with a smile.

Qin Gaofei was extremely proud and felt that before his son passed the imperial examination, today was the proudest moment of his life.

"Haha, not to mention Qin Xiucai's son, who is now disabled. I heard that he can't take the exam. Oh, this is really..."

Qin Shucai saw that his father was getting more and more unreasonable and couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly interrupted him.

"Not really. I haven't taken the exam yet, so how can I compare with Mr. Qin? Dad, let's go home quickly. Grandpa must be waiting anxiously at home."

He was afraid that his father would say something else, so he quickly pulled the man away.

Qin Gaofei had to leave, still very unhappy: "Hey, kid, your father rarely has such a happy moment, what's wrong with chatting with everyone? If you are anxious, just go first!"

Qin Shucai has been studying for so long, but he really has no idea what to do with his father.

I don't know what's wrong with his father, but he just doesn't like Mr. Qin. Since he can't compete with him, he compares himself with his son and says some nonsense from time to time.

If he said some things at home, no one would care about him, but this was in the village, where words spread faster than money, and he still didn't know how to restrain himself.

The most important thing is that in his heart, Mr. Qin had enlightened him.

People say "once a teacher, always a father". Although the relationship between them is not as good as those between formal apprentices, there is still a favor between them, and he will not forget it.

But he also knew that these words would not convince his father, it was like playing the lute to a cow.

Some people in the village disliked his father, but because he was the son of the clan leader, they couldn't let him attract any more hatred.
