Hu Tou cheered and ran in. After a while, he ran out with the bag in his arms and climbed onto the carriage quickly, fearing that he would be stopped if he was a step late.

Li Xiaoning laughed and said, "Can you be more stable? You are already this old. Look at your aunt. She is not like you."

"Hey, what's wrong with me? I feel like I'm pretty stable now. Also, you call Tianbao aunt all day long, and I've never heard you call me uncle."

After saying that, Hu Tou quickly looked at Liu and said, "Aunt, look at Xiao Ning, she really has never called me uncle."

"Uncle...Uncle...Uncle..." Li Xiaoning kept calling "Uncle...Is that all right?"

Hu Tou laughed and said, "My dear niece, I left in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. I will give you one when I return."

"I've made a note of this. I won't do it if the gift is not good."

"You also picked..."

"Who makes you the elder?"

"You should be allowed to pull your elders, right?"

"You have to give me a better gift, otherwise I will call you stingy uncle every day."

The two of them were teasing each other, and Liu's mother and daughter were watching with smiles. Tianbao sat beside them and served them tea and snacks.

"Tianbao, this snack is still warm." Liu's mother exclaimed.

"Qin Wu just made this this morning. She made several kinds of it. I put it in the incubator. I have several more of these incubators. I'll give you two when the time comes."

"Okay...your uncle works all day long, and he doesn't eat on time when food is served to him. By the time he eats, the food is cold, and he can only take a few bites."

Mother Liu felt distressed and said, "You can't ignore your health. Ask two more people to do it together."

"Don't you know your brother's temper? He is just stubborn and doesn't want to spend that money."

"Grandma, when I get back I'll ask Susu to give Uncle two big ones, so they won't get cold no matter how long they're left."

Mother Liu nodded happily, "Okay, okay..."

Li Wan and Liu Yanzhi rode in another carriage.

The group arrived at a farm in the county town. There were two servants inside who had already cleaned the farm in advance and changed the bedding.

He also cooked a table full of delicious food.

Tianbao smiled and looked at Yuexin, "Reward them well, they are so thoughtful."

Yue Xin smiled and replied, "Yes, Miss."

It is really cool in the village. I didn’t feel hot all summer, and there are fresh fruits and vegetables to eat.

This makes everyone who lives here don't want to leave.

Just a few days after September, Liu Yanzhi was in a hurry to go back. Although the private school had already started, he still took ten days off.

"Grandpa, will you stop teaching after this year?" Tianbao asked.

Liu Yanzhi nodded and said, "Yes, I will only teach him for this year. After this year, Hu Tou will be sent to the county to study. He won't be able to learn anything in the village."

"Dad, you are old, it's time for you to let go and enjoy your retirement." Liu continued.

"You know I can't sit still. When I stop teaching next year, I don't know what to do." Liu Yanzhi sighed.

"Grandpa, you can raise a dog and some chickens and ducks. You can play chess, right? I have some chess manuals. You can study them when you have nothing to do. We can play chess next time." Tianbao said.

Liu Yanzhi's eyes lit up when he heard Tianbao say this. "Chess manual?"

"Yes, Grandpa, do you want it?"

“Yes, yes, yes…” Liu Yanzhi replied quickly.

"Dad...Mom...Tianbao..." It was Li Yin's voice.

You can tell how excited he is just by his voice; the voice comes over before he even arrives.

Still such a loud voice.

"It must be my brother and the others who got through. Listen, my dad even wanted to fly over." Li Xiaoning pointed at Li Yin who was running over.

Li Wan took a few steps forward excitedly. When he thought of his three grandsons, each of whom was so outstanding, he was so excited that he wanted to jump up.

“Dad…Dad…Dad…” Li Yin ran over excitedly and grabbed Li Wan’s hand.

"Won it? All of them?" Li Wan asked.

“Yes, yes… they all passed… hahahaha… my son, your grandson… and my nephew, they all passed… hahahaha… Dachen is still the top candidate.

He is Xiao Sanyuan. Do you know what Xiao Sanyuan is? It is…"

Li Yin excitedly pulled the equally excited Li Wan and kept talking.

Liu Yanzhi was also very excited. He looked at Hu Tou standing beside him and said, "Look at your three nephews. I was also their mentor. Now each one is more promising than the other."

Hu Tou quickly said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam and show you. As for the first place... forget it... I don't have Dachen's brain."

Liu's mother tapped his forehead and said, "You just need to play less. If you can't compare to others in terms of brains...you need to work harder in other areas."

Hu Tou chuckled a few times and hid behind Tian Bao and Li Xiaoning. "Look at my grandpa... He has been inspired by Da Chen and the others to fight again. I have to accomplish all these... I have a miserable life, having three such promising nephews."

"So, come on, Hutou." Tianbao patted his shoulder.

"What place do Zhan Yu and the others rank in?" Liu Yanzhi asked.

"Zhan Yu is eighth. Da Zhu did well this time and ranked fifth. I really didn't expect this kid to make such a big splash and rank higher than Zhan Yu.

Ah Zhi and Ah Hu, one is 28 and the other is 39, both passed the test, and the villagers were extremely happy. They asked me to call everyone back, saying that they would open the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

Li Wan kept nodding his head, "Yes, we have to go back."

Liu looked at Tianbao and said, "Let's pack up and go back quickly." She was also eager to go back, after all, she had been out for so long.

"You, dad, grandpa and grandma go back first. I'll let Susu take you there, and I'll pack your luggage later." Tianbao said.

After everyone discussed it, Li Wan and his friends left first, while sweet girl Li Xiaoning followed behind to pack her luggage.

Yuexin, Zhiya and Lulan packed the luggage of Li Wan and Liu and others, while Tianbao and Li Xiaoning only had to pack their own luggage.

*

For three consecutive days, Li Zhanyu and Li Dachen were dragged by Li Jin, Li Yin and others to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. They were so tired that they wanted to run away.

"Sister-in-law..."

It was Mei Jingyan. She came in with red dates and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Zhan Yu and Da Chen are both scholars now."

"Same for Azhi, are you going home?" Tianbao stood up and took her hand.

"I'm back. I just came from home. My second uncle and his family are so happy."

"How is life in Xinchang County? Is everything okay at home?" Tianbao took her arm and sat down.

"My parents are all very well. I spent the New Year at my grandfather's house and also went to pay respects to my grandmother.

I thought they were about to release the list, so I hurried back, and now I’ve made it.” Mei Jingyan replied.

"Auntie...Auntie, you're back? That's great...I thought I wouldn't be able to see you this year." Li Xiaoning was holding food in her hand and had come to find Tianbao.
