Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

"Mom, didn't you get some sleep?" Zheng Xiaoman asked worriedly when she saw that her mother looked a little unhappy.

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom. I'll just take a nap at noon."

"My father went to the house?"

Zhou Chunfeng nodded, "Yes, your father went there early in the morning."

Zheng Xiaoman put his sister aside, went downstairs to put on his shoes, washed up, and came back to eat a bowl of egg custard.

After dinner, she poured her mother a glass of spiritual spring water and said, "Mom, drink some water first, then lie down and take a nap. I'll make lunch, and I'll call you when it's ready."

Her condition was not very good. She was worried all day yesterday and did not sleep all night. Her face looked a little pale now.

With her eldest daughter around, Zhou Chunfeng felt relieved.

"Okay, Mom, take a nap. Call me if you need anything."

Zheng Xiaoman handed the water over and said, "I understand, mother. Just go to sleep for a while."

Zhou Chunfeng drank the spiritual spring water, took off her shoes and lay down on the kang.

After a while, she began to snore softly.

Zheng Xiaoman asked her sister softly, "Are you going out to play with your sister, or are you sleeping with your mother?"

Chun Ya immediately stretched out her hand towards Zheng Xiaoman, "Sister, I'm with you."

Zheng Xiaoman picked her up and helped her put on shoes, then took her hand, gently opened the door and walked out.

Someone was hired to cook for the new house, so Zheng Xiaoman only had to cook lunch for her and her mother.

Chengyang County,

Early in the morning, Zheng Qingming and several others packed up their exam baskets and went to the Imperial Examination Hall. When they arrived, many students who had come to take the exam were already standing at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.

When the time came, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened, and a few people lined up with everyone else to be inspected and enter the Imperial Examination Hall.

The guards mainly check whether the candidates have any smuggled items. The items in the examination basket and everything on the candidates will be checked.

After the inspection, everyone goes in and gets a seat number.

The examination halls in the county are all divided into examination rooms, and each room is partitioned in the middle.

The seats of Zheng Qingming and his companions were not next to each other. They each received a number plate, found their own seat and sat down.

The examination room was drafty from all directions, so forget about staying warm.

Fortunately, the weather today is pretty good. The sun is out and the temperature is a little higher.

After Zheng Qingming sat down, he took out the paper and pen from his exam basket and placed them on the table.

He was wearing fingerless gloves made by Zheng Xiaoman, so he didn't have to take them off during the exam.

After everyone was seated, the Chengyang County Magistrate entered the venue, made a round of inspection, and returned to his seat after checking the candidates.

The exam started soon, and the entire exam room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The first county examination consisted entirely of basic questions, and the questions were all set by the county magistrate.

The content of the exam is the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as basic knowledge such as poetry, fu, strategy, and essay.

Generally speaking, as long as one has a solid foundation and can write fluently, one can pass the county exam.

After sending several disciples into the Imperial Examination Hall, Mr. Fang left to find his friends. He was not worried about the county examination at all.

If the disciples he taught couldn't even pass the county examination, then they would have no need to study with him in the future.

At this moment, several people in the examination room couldn't help but feel happy after receiving the test papers, because these questions were all the ones that the teacher had taught before.

The first test mainly examines the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics, and consists of fill-in-the-blank questions.

A few people picked up their pens and started writing without any pressure at all.

At noon they ate some food they brought in, rested for a while and then continued answering questions.

After the first day of the exam, several people became more confident about this county exam.

In the next few days, several people were in good condition, and almost all the test questions were what they had learned before.

They even completed all the policy essay questions on the last day.

Without thinking, several people just wrote down all the articles they had written before.

As soon as the five-day exam was over, Zheng Qingming came out of the examination room and suddenly felt relaxed.

These days, after every exam, they would get together to review their answers.

After checking the answers, they knew they would have a good chance of passing the county exam.

The results of the county examination will be posted within a month, so they will not wait in the county town.

After passing the county examination, they can take part in the provincial examination in April.

On the second day of the exam, a few people decided to go to the county town together to relax.

Mr. Fang didn't care about them and let them play by themselves.

Several people were walking together on the streets of the county town. They all had money on them and wanted to buy some gifts for their families.

Lixia dragged Yang Shuxing and Goudan to run around the stalls one by one, finding everything new and interesting.

In fact, it was mainly Lixia and Goudan. Yang Shuxing was dragged here by them.

Lixia brought all of her own small treasury with her when she came to the county town this time.

He had nearly ten taels of silver on him, including the New Year's money given by his parents and the money secretly given to him by his sister.

When the group returned to the inn, Lixia was holding several large and small bags.

Zheng Qingming looked at him with amusement, "What did you buy? Aren't these all food?"

Lixia touched her nose and said, "Not all of them. Look at these. They are the gifts I brought for mom and the others."

Zheng Qingming looked at the small paper bag next to Lixia, and then looked at the other large paper bags. It seemed that the large ones were all filled with food.

He also didn't understand why his younger brother liked eating snacks more than other girls.

On the way back, there were still two carriages, and by the evening, the group finally arrived home.

Zheng Qingming paid the taxi fare, said something to the teacher, and took Lixia back.

When they got home, they were stunned. All they saw was a pile of ruins, and there was no trace of their house.

If there weren't so many people here, they would have thought their house had been razed to the ground.

"Dashan, look! Your two boys are back."

Someone with sharp eyes saw Zheng Qingming and the other man and immediately shouted towards Zheng Dashan.

Zheng Dashan was breaking adobe bricks in the backyard. When he heard his son coming back, he dropped what he was holding and walked out.

"father"

"father"

Zheng Qingming and Lixia saw Zheng Dashan and immediately walked over.

"Hey, hey, hey, you see, I was so busy that I forgot you guys came back these two days. It's too chaotic here, you guys should go to your grandma first, your mother and sister are all over there."

Zheng Qingming responded and took Lixia to the old house first.

He put his things down, changed into an old set of clothes, and went back to help with the work.

The people who were helping with the work saw Zheng Qingming coming over to work right after he came back, and said to Zheng Dashan with envy: "Brother Dashan, your son is really good. He is filial and can study. We are so envious of him."

Zheng Dashan looked at his eldest son who was working with his head down, and his face was full of the smile of an old father.

"Haha, Qingming has been sensible since he was young."

The man looked at Zheng Dashan and said with a smile: "You haven't got engaged yet in Qingming, right? What do you think of my daughter?"

Zheng Dashan glanced at the man and scolded him with a smile: "Just stop it, your daughter is not even ten years old, why are you joining in the fun here?"

"Hahahaha" everyone around laughed.
