The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

In the past few months, Jiang Qingyi has practiced the Chaos Technique every day and has now reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. She feels that her current combat power is very good, but she has never had the opportunity to actually fight.

In addition, she chose spirit stones for every transaction with Venerable Tianshu. However, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones were placed in the space but could not be upgraded. Jiang Qingyi estimated that the energy required for this upgrade was too huge, so it needed to be accumulated.

Previously, Jiang Wenbin wrote to say that he was preparing to take part in this year’s autumn examination. Old Mrs. Jiang was worried for a long time and even her appetite declined.

Although they often brought things back, they were always worried when they couldn't see anyone.

At dinner that day, Jiang Dashan brought up the matter again, "My little brother is doomed this year, and I don't know how he did in the exam!"

Old Mrs. Jiang stopped eating and asked tentatively, "How about we go back? I'm really worried."

Jiang Dahe asked hesitantly, "It's not impossible to go back, but what about the business of this family?"

Old man Jiang glared at him and said, "I won't let you go back, so don't worry so much."

Jiang Dahai was also worried about Jiang Wenbin, "How about I go back?"

Mrs. Jiang denied it outright, "No, your wife is pregnant, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Let me take grandpa and grandma back. They are in good health and have free time. We can rent a carriage and it will take less than half a month to get there."

The two elders looked at each other and thought that this plan was feasible.

However, Jiang Dashan and his brothers were worried, and after discussing for a long time they decided to let Jiang Dashan go back with them, and he could also help drive the carriage.

The matter was settled.

The next day, Old Mrs. Jiang began to prepare the things she would take with her on the journey, including dry food and clothes.

Jiang Qingyi let her do whatever she wanted. Anyway, she could pack them up and put them into the space to take away when the time came.

Two days later, Jiang Qingyi and three others set off in a horse-drawn carriage.

The carriage was rearranged and the cushions were very soft, so it could be used as a bed.

Jiang Qingyi sat inside with the two elders. All their luggage was put away, and Jiang Dashan was driving the car outside.

The feeling of going back is completely different from the time I came here. When I came here, I was trying to survive, but this time I felt like I was going out for fun.

They planned to go back via the official road, which was easier to travel along the way.

After the carriage had been traveling for half a day, the people stopped to rest.

With Jiang Qingyi around, they weren't afraid even if they had to sleep outdoors at night.

……

Half a month passed and the carriage stopped in front of the city gate of Chengnan County. After paying the entrance fee, Jiang Dashan drove the carriage directly to the inn near the academy.

The long journey was tiring, and even in good health, the two old people were a little exhausted, so Jiang Qingyi settled them in the inn to rest first.

It was very late, so the few of them did not go to the academy to find Jiang Wenbin first.

During dinner, they heard that tomorrow would be the day when the results would be announced, which was just in time.

The next morning, the group of four went to the place where the results were announced.

Jiang Dashan squeezed into the crowd and found his younger brother. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Wenbin's arm.

Jiang Wenbin quickly turned around and saw that it was Jiang Dashan. His expression became surprised and happy. He shouted, "Brother, why are you back?"

"Dad and mom are worried about you, so they are here too, including Xiaowu."

Jiang Wenbin couldn't believe that his parents came all the way from the capital to here. He couldn't wait to meet them, but he had to look at the list first.

"Brother, wait for me over there. I'll come right over after I check the list."

"Okay, we'll wait for you under the tree over there." He said and squeezed out of the crowd.

There were not many people taking part in the Autumn Examination in Chengnan County, but there were quite a few too. At this time, there were several layers of people surrounding the list inside and outside. Some were servants from their families who came to help look at the list, some were poor students who came to look at the list themselves, and others were just onlookers who came to watch the fun.

Perhaps it was because he was eager to know whether he was on the list, Jiang Wenbin struggled to squeeze into the crowd and got to the bottom of the list.

He looked down and saw that his name was second. It was surprising that his hard work this year was worth it to be ranked so high.

Jiang Wenbin was happy and wanted to share his joy with his family, so he immediately squeezed out of the crowd.

It was the first time that Jiang Qingyi met her uncle Jiang Wenbin. She heard that he was the one who helped her choose her name.

Jiang Wenbin is seventeen years old this year. Probably because he doesn’t eat well, he is a little thin and looks like a weak scholar. I don’t know how he managed to finish the exam under such circumstances.

Old Mrs. Jiang's eyes became moist as she looked at her youngest son whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Jiang Wenbin almost knelt down to pay his respects to the two elders, but fortunately old man Jiang held him back.

Old Mrs. Jiang also hurriedly asked, "Old Four, are you doing well here alone?"

"Good, very good. I received the things my mother brought from the capital. Life is pretty good. I just need to study hard."

Old Mrs. Jiang nodded and murmured, "You've lost weight. You're not willing to spend money to eat something good, kid."

Jiang Wenbin smiled shyly.

Jiang Dashan said again, "Dad and Mom, this is not a good place to reminisce about the past. Let's go back to the inn first."

The inn was not far from here, and several people walked over, while Jiang Wenbin supported Old Lady Jiang as they walked.

There was nothing shameful about what they wanted to say, so they found a seat in the lobby of the inn and sat down.

Thinking that everyone had not had breakfast yet, Jiang Qingyi asked the waiter to bring a few bowls of wontons.

While waiting for the wontons, Old Mrs. Jiang took Jiang Wenbin aside and talked for a long time.

Jiang Qingyi was listening on the side, and she also learned a lot about her uncle. He actually got second place in the exam, and he was really a good student.

Now he can go to the capital with us, and his grandparents won’t have to worry anymore.

Knowing that their son ranked among the top, the two elders were so happy, especially old man Jiang, who smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face.

The wontons came up very quickly. The clear soup was added with salt and vegetable leaves, and no other seasonings were added. They didn’t taste as good as the ones I made myself, but they were still eatable.

In the following days, Jiang Wenbin asked the teacher of the academy to write a document, which was like a proof of identity. This would be an important certificate for participating in the spring examination next year.

Because of his high ranking, Jiang Wenbin was also invited by other students to go out and discuss academic matters every day.

Jiang Dashan originally proposed to go back to Jiangjia Village, but was rejected by Old Lady Jiang, who said that the whole village had fled famine and all the belongings in the house had been moved away, so there would be nothing to see if he went back.

Jiang Qingyi took Old Lady Jiang for a stroll on the street every day and bought everything they were interested in.

Old Mrs. Jiang is a qualified shopping partner. When she goes out with Jiang Qingyi, she never criticizes her for spending money inappropriately. She is always supportive when she buys food and also expresses her own opinions.

One good thing is that this year is a bumper year for Chengnan County, and prices are slightly lower than in the capital.

Half a month passed in a flash. Jiang Wenbin finished his work and the group prepared to return to the capital.
