After her husband died in battle, she relied on the villain cub to make a comeback.

end of August.

The sun was shining brightly, and the evening breeze was a bit cool, but the temperature at noon was particularly high. The entire south had officially entered the autumn harvest.

Even the college gave students "field leave" to go to the countryside to work in the countryside.

Ye Zhizhi's family had a total of five acres of rice. It was exhausting to harvest it just by her own family, so she hired some men and cows to work in the fields.

She took several children to dry the rice and remove the ears.

Erzhu patted the dried rice on the stone pillar and said, "Mom, eldest brother hasn't been home for several days. He has been waiting for news in the town. You said that eldest brother can be admitted as a scholar and be exempted from [-] Is there tax on acres of land?

I heard Daqing tell me that three or four hundred years ago, there was an old man in our village who took the exam for more than 400 years before he was admitted as a scholar. This shows how difficult it is to become a scholar! "

Ye Zhizhi said honestly, "Others may not, but your eldest brother will definitely pass the exam!" Several villains in the book all respect Xiao Xingzhi. His intelligence is not something to be boasted about. For him, a college exam is just a matter of official career. Just start.

Erzhu nodded and began to look forward to his eldest brother's results.

Not only him, but everyone in the village is also looking forward to it.

Their talent in Tianshui Village has been withering away a hundred years ago, not to mention scholars, but also children. In recent years, Xiao Qiru and Xiao Xingzhi have only emerged.

The former failed the government examination, but as for Xiao Xingzhi, everyone in the village had high hopes for him every time.

On the third day of the autumn harvest, Li Zheng was the first to receive the good news from the county: Xiao Xingzhi had indeed become a scholar!

He is also the head of the Three-Yuan Case and the No. 1 scholar!

You know, in history, no student has ever achieved what he has achieved after studying for two days!

Therefore, after Li Zheng received the news, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep. He just felt that most of the taxes in the village could be exempted this year, so he simply made arrangements all night to welcome the scholar of his village back home!

Ye Zhizhi had an uneasy sleep all night, so she turned over and fell asleep with a quilt on her face.

Obviously, the whole village welcomed Xiao Xingzhi's incident, but Li Zheng didn't tell Ye Zhizhi because he saw that the couple seemed to be quarreling two days ago.

Therefore, on the morning of the fourth day of autumn harvest, as soon as Ye Zhizhi got up, he heard gongs and drums beating at the entrance of the village, as if celebrating the New Year.

She is still wondering here.

Erzhu also scratched his head, "Mom, it's so happy outside, whose family has a daughter-in-law?"

"Don't worry about it, go out and take a look. If you know someone you know, go and get a gift and save yourself cooking!"

The autumn harvest in the past two days has exhausted her to death. Let alone cooking, just talking about it will cost her half her life.

Ye Zhizhi took her four children out to beg for food. Along the way, she saw villagers wearing colorful clothes. They didn't even go to the fields and ran around with red cloths.

"Mom, why do I look at it? It seems like my eldest brother's name is written on this red cloth?"

Ye Zhizhi narrowed his eyes, he's a good guy, but he's not that good.

What's the saying, 'The little fairy Wenquxing descends to earth, and green smoke rises from the Ye family's ancestral graves! Ye Zhizhi, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven all night long!'

'I have done my best to win glory for the village, and have shown great concern for the village's worries. Thank you to the little scholar for passing the exam, and even being exempted from the court tax on [-] acres of land! The entire Tianshui Village kowtows to you!'

Li Zheng was standing on the stone pillar in a bright red wedding dress and shouted, "In a moment, the old Xu family will continue to play music and dance! Let me play the suona! Do you know how to stir up the atmosphere?"

"Don't worry, I'll keep it for our little scholar to blow from the full moon to the first seven days!"

Ye Zhizhi, "..."

"Is Zhizhi here too?"

Li Zheng's wife greeted Ye Zhizhi warmly.

Ye Zhizhi pointed at the banner and choked, "Okay, why did I become a chicken or a dog?"

"Oh, don't worry about small details!"

Li Zheng waved his hand, and Ye Zhizhi immediately fell out of favor, "Xing Zhi will come back soon, and you can't show off your face to him again! From today on, you will do what you offer to the Bodhisattva, you know?"

Ye Zhizhi, "..."

Oh.

Ye Zhizhi was waiting at the entrance of the village to pick up Xiao Xingzhi.

But it was not until noon that a group of figures finally appeared.

At a glance, Ye Zhizhi saw the figure in a straight blue shirt standing in the crowd. He had a very good temperament. He was getting off a luxurious carriage. There were four or five carriages behind him. They were all the kind of fat-bellied outsiders who raised their hands to Xiao Xingzhi, patted his shoulders, said a few words, and finally left with satisfaction under Xiao Xingzhi's smiling eyes.

"Xing Zhi," the old face in Li Zheng still blushed twice, and ran forward with small steps, "You are back! Everyone came out to pick you up early in the morning! Why did you come back?"

'Pfft——' a sound.

Before Xiao Xingzhi could speak, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old red-robed boy next to him smiled and said,

"Brother Xiao has become a scholar. He is no longer what he used to be. Of course, he must first deal with the problems of the various members of the Communist Party of China and expand his network of contacts. How can we waste time and experience on people like you who want to change the law?" Take advantage of Brother Xiao’s mud-legged body!”

Li Zheng's face suddenly turned red. He opened his mouth and argued in a low voice, "I, we, we didn't want to take advantage."

"Yes, I didn't want to take advantage, so I just wrote on the red cloth thank you, Brother Xiao, for exempting you from the tax on eighty acres of land! What a shameless person!"

The young man in red robe shook his paper fan with a condescending look on his face.

Ye Zhizhi laughed angrily when he saw this, pulled his hair and said, "A student with perfect scores in the immoral exam? Did you shake your brains and run to your aunt to show off your power?"

How about taking advantage of the tax revenue from Xiao Xingzhi’s [-] acres of land?Who the hell allowed him to grow up in the village eating hundreds of meals?Who asked him to use the money collected by everyone in the village to buy books and study? !It’s your turn. The pigs from the neighboring village ate two more bowls of bran, and that caused our village to swell? "

The young man in red robe was so angry that Ye Zhizhi pulled his hair and slapped him on the forehead, and his face turned red, "It's full of nonsense and uneducated! Let go! Let go!"

"Not only can I let go of your father, but I can also let you go and die!"

Ye Zhizhi kicked him up and said, "Xiao Xingzhi, please go home. As for you, Tianshui Village does not welcome a dandy whose dog's belly can't hold two ounces of oil! If there is a dog of this kind barking in the right place, Call me directly!"

"...You, you dare?!"

"See if I dare!"

Ye Zhizhi lifted the stick on the side.

The young man in red robe stepped back dozens of steps and cursed loudly, "It's insulting to gentlemen! Women's kindness! Only women and villains can't--"

"What's wrong with me being a woman? I can keep my five children fed, clothed, and sensible. As a woman, I can do much better than you fools who come with clothes, mouth, and food. You look down on women so much." , if you can, don’t get out of your mother’s belly! What’s the point of pretending to be here?”

The quarrelsome young man had nothing to say, threw up his sleeves and jumped away angrily.

Xiao Xingzhi said nothing.

Just as she followed Ye Zhizhi into the village entrance, she heard Grandma Liu who was guarding here shouting:

"He's back! He's back! The Wenquxing of our village is back!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Old Xu's family, start playing the suona! Guys, let's round up the applause!"

"Welcome Wenquxing to the earth!"

"Welcome the little scholar back to the village!"

"Xingzhi! You are electricity, you are light! You are the only pride!"

"Xingzhixingzhi, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice!"

"Xingzhi, look here! You are my heart, you are my liver! You are my sweetie!"

Xiao Xingzhi, "..."

Erzhu and others, "..."

Ah, are the aunts in the village so wild now?

Ye Zhizhi covered her face and pushed Xiao Xingzhi, "Everyone has good intentions and has prepared it a long time ago. Go and say thank you to everyone."

Xiao Xingzhi frowned. He didn't feel particularly moved, only embarrassment.

Li Zheng didn't notice, and took Xiao Xingzhi's hand with a look of joy on his face, "Xingzhi, you really gave our Tianshui Village a face! Out of so many villages this year, you are the only one who passed the scholar examination. You don't know, Chengjia Village and the others My eyes are red with envy!”

This child has been smart since he was a child, and Li Zheng felt that his future was limitless!The results of it!

This is indeed the case!

"I can't give them envy. Xingzhi belongs to our Tianshui Village!"

"That's right, if you can pass the exam to be a scholar, the next step is to hold a public exam. We in Tianshui Village have not seen a living candidate in the past few years!"

"Today is a good day. I suggest that we all do something special! Each family will bring out some of their specialty dishes to cleanse the place!"

Li Zheng happily pulled Xiao Xingzhi, and everyone gathered around him as if they were watching their own son Jackie Chan, squeezing Ye Zhizhi and flying ten meters away.

Ye Zhizhi, "..."

Are you reasonable?

Ye Zhizhi was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back, and she really had no strength to fight with them.

When Sanzhu saw it, he went back home to light a fire and cook.

"Eldest brother was dragged to his house by Li Zheng for a drink. Mom, should we go too?" Erzhu said.

It's early in the morning, and anyone who can get up can drink. Besides, everyone has to go back and the whole family cooks a dish and brings it out before the banquet can begin.

Ye Zhizhi said simply, "Let's go home and eat something to fill our stomachs. It's hot today, and then we can spread the rice ears on the ground to dry them and let them dry out."

Just do it.

The children in the family have a clear division of labor.

The grains were slapped against the wall.

Xiao Xingzhi sat at Li Zheng's house for a while. He didn't eat anything. He mainly had dishes and chopsticks from the countryside. The common people couldn't wash them clean and didn't have that kind of consciousness.

The food was also low in oil and salt, which was not as satisfying as the food he had eaten in Yuanwai Mansion these past few days.

He made an excuse and walked home.

As soon as I returned, I saw the sweaty brothers and stepmother, working vigorously to remove the ears of the rice.

Xiao Xingzhi frowned and said, "Mother."

He said, "Why don't you hire someone to do the work? I have already passed the scholar examination, and you are still farming in the countryside. How disrespectful is this?"
