The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

The journey which normally takes an hour took Cheng Laowu only half an hour to reach Cangwu Town.

As soon as he arrived at the brick factory, he jumped off the carriage and danced with excitement.

"Fellow villagers! It's a winner, it's a winner! My third brother has won the first prize in the case!"

The people from Chengjia Village who were busy in the brick factory were stunned for a while before they reacted.

Suddenly, everyone excitedly dropped their work and rushed up from all directions.

"Xin boy, what did you say? Ze Li was the first in the case. What is the first in the case?"

"You are stupid, the first place is the first place, and Ze Li got the first place!"

"First place! That means Ze Li passed the exam and became a scholar!"

"That's right. After passing the examination, Ze Li will not only be exempt from corvée labor, but also from taxes. He will not have to pay taxes when growing crops or doing business, and he will not have to kneel when meeting the county magistrate.

Moreover, Ze Li was the top of the list, which means he was a real government-sponsored student, the first class among the scholars. His food was subsidized by the government, and he could receive six dou of rice every month and four taels of silver allowance every year.

If a student wants to take the college entrance examination, he needs two students from the imperial academy to guarantee him. It is not free for students from the imperial academy to guarantee him. There is a fee for that. In the future, Ze Liguang will earn a lot of money by guaranteeing students. "

"Great! This is a great event for our Cheng family. Lao Wu, go back and tell the village chief the good news. We'll come back from work later to celebrate together."

"Okay, I'll go back first! I'll leave the carriage here, you guys take care of it."

In the valley, Old Man Cheng and his colleagues were still busy planting rapeseed in the fields, but today he seemed a little absent-minded, and kept looking towards the cave down the mountain.

Old Man Cheng was not focused here. He almost dug up his feet several times while loosening the soil. He simply gave up, put the hoe on the edge of the field, sat down and smoked, trying to use the cigarette to eliminate the irritability in his heart.

"I don't know whether the third child passed the exam or not. Logically, the results should have been announced this morning. If there was good news, the fifth child should have been home a long time ago. Why is he still missing now?

I guess I failed the exam."

"Pah, pah, pah! What nonsense are you talking about, you old man? You can't do anything all day long, you just talk nonsense."

Zhang was also feeling somewhat nervous. Old Man Cheng's words were like the fuse that lit a powder keg, igniting Zhang's anger and causing her to explode in an instant.

"Okay, bah, bah, bah! I take back what I just said, old woman, don't be angry, our third brother will definitely win, Master Li said he can win."

As I was talking, I heard the sound of a motorcycle, and from the sound I knew it was going very fast.

When people in the fields heard the sound of the motorcycle, they all straightened up and looked over there.

Before the motorcycle came to a complete stop, Cheng Laowu's excited roar spread throughout the valley.

"Yes, hahahaha... My third brother got the top spot, Dad! Mom! Big brother! My third brother passed the exam and became a scholar. My third brother is the top candidate!"

Cheng Laowu shouted as he ran. Upon hearing his words, all the villagers of Chengjia Village rushed over and followed Cheng Laowu while asking questions.

"Xin boy, your third brother is really a scholar!"

"Yes, yes, Tenth Grandfather, my third brother not only passed the imperial examination, but he also ranked first, the first in the case!"

"Oh my god, hurry up and tell the old patriarch the good news and invite him to Sanfu's house."

The crowd grew larger and larger, and Cheng Laowu rushed to the front.

Cheng Dafu, who heard the news, also rushed over.

"Xin boy, did your third brother really make the top spot?"

"It's absolutely true, uncle. I went to see the list myself. It can't be wrong!"

"Good! Good! Good! Excellent! With the blessing of our ancestors, our Cheng family is indeed about to have a turn for the better. Where is Ze Li? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"My second brother said he needs my third brother's help with something, so he may not be back for a few more days."

"That's a bit of a shame. I was thinking about having a good meal together today to celebrate."

"It's okay, uncle. You don't have to wait for them. My third sister-in-law has already prepared a big meal at noon, and everyone in our village has gathered together to celebrate. Otherwise, how could I come back so late?"

"Since they have already had their feast, let's just ignore them. Let's go to your house and tell your parents the good news. You came back so late, they must be waiting anxiously."

Old Man Cheng and others had been unable to sit still for a long time. The moment they heard Old Man Cheng's voice, they excitedly ran home with their hoes.

People from the entire Chengjia Village rushed to Old Man Cheng's house from all directions. The old patriarch also came over with a radiant look and steady steps.

Ever since Cheng Xingwan was born, his health has been getting better and better. Even his gray hair and beard have begun to turn black, which seems to be a sign of rejuvenation.

I have the strength to walk again and I even threw away my crutches.

"Ze Li, this child, really lived up to our expectations. Not only did he and his wife give birth to a daughter for our village, but now he has passed the imperial examination and become a scholar. He is the biggest contributor to our village's current status.

But I believe that he will not stop here. Three years later, he will have bigger surprises waiting for us.

Under his leadership, our Chengjia Village will once again stand before the world. Maybe in my lifetime I will even see the day when our ancestors’ grievances are vindicated and the truth comes to light.

Sanfu, you gave birth to a good son!

We have been tired for several months. Let's take this opportunity to make Sanfu bleed a lot. We will have dinner at his house tonight."

As soon as the old patriarch finished speaking, the villagers started to make a fuss.

"Good! Such a great event should be a three-day and three-night buffet. We won't just eat for three days. We will empty his granary tonight."

Old Man Cheng was very happy and responded readily, "Okay! Let's all help each other. Let's drink a lot and eat a lot of meat tonight. We won't go home until we are drunk."

In that era, people were not allowed to brew and sell wine, but they could brew some for their own drinking.

All the men in the family knew how to drink. After the new grain came in, Mrs. Li brewed several large jars of wine. Usually, old man Li Cheng treasured it very much and would not easily let others drink it.

He was in a good mood today and would be happy even if I drank it all.

Over there, Cheng Lao Er made an appointment with wealthy businessmen who were interested in buying shops to go to the site to view the houses today.

Cheng Zeli also went with him.

Lunch took a bit long, which wasted some time, so we went a bit late.

As soon as I arrived at the newly built street, I saw a group of seven or eight well-dressed people who were impatiently trying to leave.

"What's wrong with Mr. Cheng? He was the one who asked us out, but he hasn't shown up yet. I think he's trying to play a trick on us.

Humph, let’s not buy this house, let’s go!”

As soon as Cheng Laoer arrived, he saw this scene and immediately stepped forward with an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, bosses. Something happened at home and I was delayed for a while. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

At this moment, Cheng Zeli suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face in the crowd, but he was not sure, so he spoke tentatively.

"Manager Guo?"

He was not mistaken, the man was Guo Wangshu from Jimin Hall.

"Brother Cheng, why are you here?"

Then I remembered that the owner of these shops was named Cheng, and an idea flashed through my mind.

"Are these shops yours?"

"To be honest with you, Shopkeeper Guo, this is my second brother."

"I see. I remember you were a Tongsheng. How was it? Did you take part in the college entrance examination this year?"

"Thank you, Manager Guo, for your concern. I am lucky to have made the list."

"Oh, so Brother Cheng has a happy event today. No wonder your brother said something happened at home. It really is a big happy event."

When the people nearby heard that their boss had passed the imperial examination, they stopped walking.

Just kidding, they are not fools.

Normally they wanted to curry favor with scholars but failed, so they couldn't miss this good opportunity that had come to their doorstep.

"Congratulations, Mr. Cheng!"

"congratulations!"
