"Your...brother?" He was about to kill someone when he took a quick look and saw that this wasn't his younger brother who was studying in the town?

"elder brother."

"Why are you back today?" Zhou Cheng changed his expression and said happily.

"Sorry, I was out of town a few days ago. I went to the city with my teacher to meet old friends and missed my brother's wedding." He felt guilty. In order to reassure him, the teacher didn't tell him that his brother had come to see him.

Although Zhou Cheng had regrets, he was used to being careless. He patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Your studies are the most important thing. Go into the room first."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you to her, this is your sister-in-law!" He hugged Li Chu happily.

Cheng Yan lowered his eyelashes slightly. It was really weird for this little girl to stand with his brother.

"Hello, sister-in-law." He looked at his shy eldest sister-in-law, bowed his hands and made a tacit agreement not to mention what happened in the forest.

"You talk to your sister-in-law, and I will cook for you." Zhou Cheng pushed her forward and went to work in the kitchen with a smile.

The two of them were left staring at each other.

Cheng Yan's face was cold, and he tilted his head to look at his brother who was busy in the kitchen, and his sister-in-law who was licking her lips in front of him. He frowned and said, "I'm going to help brother cook."

"Oh, okay." Li Chu nodded quickly.

Cheng Yan took a step forward, and upon hearing her unhesitating response, helplessness flashed through his heart.

He walked into the kitchen. When Zhou Cheng saw him coming, he quickly pushed him out, "I can be alone."

"I'll wash the vegetables for you." He ducked away, picked up the vegetable basin and left.

Seeing this, Zhou Cheng had to let him go.

Lichu picked up the winter melon and chased it around the yard, looking innocent and innocent.

Cheng Yan washed the dishes and looked at the scene of the girls playing and the figure of his brother working in the kitchen.

After all, he is his brother, so naturally he feels more sorry for him.

While eating, Li Chu looked at the fat meat in the vegetable bowl and said, "Brother, here it is."

Zhou Cheng picked up the fat meat in a natural movement, bit off the fat part, and threw the lean meat into her bowl.

"Thank you brother."

"Eat."

Cheng Yan: "..."

After eating, Lichu hugged the dog and insisted on giving it a bath, "Brother, boil the water and let's wash the winter melon to make it fragrant."

"Okay, I'll start burning in a moment, you can go and play first."

Cheng Yan accompanied him to clean up the mess. In the kitchen, he washed the dishes and looked at his busy brother, but hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing."

After bathing the dog, she made a fuss about washing herself. Zhou Cheng went to the well to fetch water and continued to boil the water.

From time to time, I have to coax her emotions.

A hundred times busier than working.

In his room, Cheng Yan frowned frequently as he listened.

This woman is really... pampering and torturing.

And his brother... is a bit too humble.

At night, Li Chu finished her bath and lay in the man's arms. She crossed her legs and said in a soft and sweet tone, "Brother, you are clean today."

When Zhou Cheng heard this, his Adam's apple rolled, and it finally left. It had been suffocating him to death these days!

He picked up the girl and threw her on the bed, then pressed her on top of her.

Although the two of them deliberately kept their voices low, they couldn't resist the thin walls of their home. The person sitting at the table next door reading a book tightened his grip on the book.

His clear face was calm and unaffected.

If only he could ignore his red earlobes.

Cheng Yan didn't know how long he had been sitting there. It wasn't until the candles had burned out that he heard the room next door become quiet.

"Brother, it hurts..."

From the next room, the girl's sweet and soft voice came again.

Cheng Yan raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and sure enough, there was another movement next door.

It was even louder than the previous time. The girl's cry was so delicate and soft that Cheng Yan couldn't tell. Did it really hurt her?Or the interest between the two.

Cheng Yan frowned when he heard his fingers tapping on the table carelessly. The sound was so soft that he couldn't help but wonder, had his brother hit someone?

I cried so hard that I was miserable.

About two hours later, the movement next door became quieter. Cheng Changchang took a breath and was about to blow out the candles and rest.

Suddenly, there was another sound from next door.

The sound seemed to be sticking to the wall.

It's so close... it's more like it's close to his ear.

Cheng Yan: "..."

He frowned, stood up, opened the door and walked out, taking a walk outside the house to relax.

After hearing no sound, his cold brows and eyes were slightly dissipated with sadness. He stretched out his hand in relief and stroked the wrinkled clothes until they were smoothed.

To be on the safe side, he sat outside until it got dark before he dared to return to his room.

Zhou Cheng got up early to cook and forced the weak man to get up.

Li Chu rubbed her eyes, curved her mouth, and complained: "Bullying people, as promised... ugh."

Zhou Cheng kissed her mumbling mouth.

"Hmph!" She dodged and snorted coldly.

She puffed up her cheeks, crossed her feet, and asked him to put on her shoes.

Zhou Cheng held her little feet, his eyes darkened, he raised his head but had not yet spoken.

Li Chu was so frightened that she quickly took the shoes from his hands, put them on herself, and ran out quickly.

Zhou Cheng regretfully followed out.

"Go and wake your brother up for dinner." Zhou Cheng shouted to her.

"understood."

Li Chu walked to the next room and raised her hand to knock on the door.

The person inside quickly opened the door.

Cheng Yan's eyes were black and his face was haggard. He looked at her quietly, the culprit, and said with restraint and alienation in his tone, "Sister-in-law."

"Get up, get up and have breakfast." Li Chu was frightened by his expression and took a step back.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I understand." He raised his legs and walked out, scaring the person even further.

He paused and closed the door.

While eating, Zhou Cheng asked, "How long will you stay when you come back this time?"

"About January, I have passed the college examination. Next month, I will go to the capital." He replied.

"So fast?"

"It's not fast. I have been preparing for three years." Cheng Yan shook his head. It has been three years since he missed the last imperial examination. If it were later, he might not be able to pass the exam in his life.

Now that the border is in turmoil and in a state of war at any time, he must pass this imperial examination, otherwise his brother will be captured when recruiting troops.

At least he himself has a scientific name, but his brother does not.

He has done too much for himself, and Cheng Yan also wants to contribute to at least make his brother's old age easier.

Lichu was stunned for a while after hearing this. She didn't understand, so after finishing the meal, she pulled Zhou Cheng to ask, and she finally understood.

In this world, if you miss the opportunity to take the imperial examination, all your previous efforts will be in vain. In other worlds, if you pass the exam to be a scholar or a scholar, no matter whether you pass the imperial examination or not, you will not be deprived of these statuses.

But this world is not good. If you miss it and want to scream about the imperial examination, you have to start all over again.

And some benefits can no longer be enjoyed. Many people who fail to pass the exam end up becoming teachers.

No wonder, when she heard that Zhou Cheng's younger brother had passed the college examination, she also wondered how her family could be so poor.

……

As soon as Cheng Yan returned to the village, everyone in the village and outside the village knew about it, and the door to his house was blocked.

They all came to him to write or read letters.

He didn't charge much, just a penny for a letter.

Zhou Cheng went into the mountain early in the morning. After his brother came back, he felt much more at ease and did not take Li Chu up the mountain again.

Today, she was held by the arms of several old people, "My dear madam, can you please ask your husband to write a letter for me?"

They didn't know this gentleman, they all came here after hearing the news, so naturally they didn't know Li Chu.

They misunderstood her identity, and others in line behind her also misunderstood her.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman are a perfect match when they stand together. They subconsciously think that the relationship between the two must be husband and wife.

Before Lichu had time to quibble, bah, explain, he was surrounded by those people.

Why do you have to pay when you can have sex for free?Especially the old people, when they see that they can take advantage of them, they naturally want to join.

"Yes, can you do a good job and not charge me?"

"I don't have much money, old man. I'll give you a handful of wild vegetables. Can you ask your husband to write a letter to my children who are far away in the military camp?"
