Time flew by like a fleeting horse, and soon it was the beginning of April of the next year, and there was less than a month left before the Wu Kang'an Township Examination.

At this time, the Wu family had successfully bought a shop in the town, and reached a long-term cooperative relationship with the villagers. Now most of the villagers raised chickens, ducks and geese, and planted large tracts of vegetables. The butchers in the village also changed their careers. , became a big pig farmer, and sold all the pigs he raised to the Wu family, which made him more money than when he was a butcher.

From the very beginning, the Wu family only sold some marinated pork, and added a lot of other meats and vegetables.

As for the Wu family's land, they also chose to rent it out to people in the village for farming. After all, they were busy with the business of the shop, so they really didn't care about the fields.

Dong Heng's mother raised some chickens and ducks with the villagers at the beginning, but when he sold them to the Wu family, the Wu family didn't accept his chickens and ducks at all. At the beginning, he offended the Wu family so much, who is still a temperless person? Now that everyone in the village is looking towards the Wu family, Village Chief Wu and the others are naturally not afraid of offending Dong's mother.

In a fit of anger, Dong's mother ran to the door of Wu's shop in the town and yelled, saying that the people of Wu's family were immoral and unrighteous in their actions. Maybe the food was poisoned, so those diners should be careful, so as not to be punished by Wu's family. It hurt.

Some diners who often buy stewed meat at Wu's house have not changed. They come to the stewed meat shop to buy food as always. Customers who buy braised pork at Wu's don't think so.

During that time, the Wu family's business really plummeted. It's not that there were no customers at all, but it was still not as good as before.

The business of Wu's family is not as good as before. If things can't be sold, there will be less purchases. The villagers of Xingfeng Village will naturally ask Wu's family for inquiries. The thing is said.

The villagers managed to live a good life, but they were disturbed by Dong's mother. During that time, villagers threw stones into Dong's mother's house every day, so scared that Dong's mother set off early one morning to go to the county to find Dong. Heng went.

But Dong Heng has no way to solve these problems, he secretly kept this matter in his heart, thinking that in the future he will be named on the gold list, and then he will not be able to clean up these foolish people. Of course, the key point is to clean up the Wu family.

Afterwards, it was Wu Bai who figured out a way. He asked the Wu family members to go to the back of the store and eat directly in the store when they had lunch every day, and everyone had to eat their own braised vegetables in front of the guests.

When Wu Fulang heard Wu Bai say this at the beginning, he felt a little distressed. After all, those things are all money, and they make everyone in the family eat. The business is not good. Isn't this worse?

But in the end, Wu's father, as the head of the family, decided on Wu Bai's idea.

Therefore, the guests who came and went during that time, whether they were in the store or passing by the door every day, could see the Wu family eating braised pork. After a long time, all the Wu family members were fine, and there was nothing wrong with each other. Only then did the customers gradually gather together, and the business in the store slowly returned to its previous state.

Only then did Wu Fulang and the others understand Wu Bai's intentions.

On this day, Wu Kangan came back.

He was about to leave for the neighboring state capital to take the provincial examination, and this time he came back to report the situation to his family.

The township examination is not fixed in a certain state capital, it is usually held in several nearby state capitals in turn, but Wu Kang'an is unlucky this year, it just happens to be the turn of the next state capital, so he has to travel far.

Wu Bai did not intend to go to the neighboring state capital this time. Firstly, it was useless for him to go, and secondly, since the shop opened, the family was busy with many things, so he planned to stay at home.

In the end, after some discussion, the family decided that Wu's father would follow Wu Kang'an to the next state capital, while the others stayed at home.

Wu Kang'an College was very urgent, so he only stayed at home for one night, and took Wu's father to the county seat the next day, but this time the Wu family did not rent a carriage, because they bought a carriage themselves. It happened that Wu's father took the carriage to send Wu Kang'an off.

With the departure of Wu's father, the store became more and more busy. It just so happened that Wu Bai's elder brother was diagnosed to be pregnant that day. This is the first grandchild of the Wu family, so everyone in the Wu family is precious.

So Wu Bai proposed to recruit two people to work in the store, so that everyone can relax. As for the eldest brother, he only needs to take good care of the baby.

No one objected to Wu Bai's proposal. Finally, after some discussion, everyone decided to choose one of Wu Bai's two elder brothers' natal families to do the job. After all, these two families are quite reliable. Since the Wu family After the development, I didn't see them coming to the door to fight the autumn breeze, which shows that their character is guaranteed.

In addition, they are all relatives, so they should help each other.

After deciding on the manpower, Big Brother Wu and Second Brother Wu planned to visit their natal homes respectively, but because Big Brother Wu was pregnant, Brother Wu went to his natal home in the end.

The personnel also quickly settled down. The eldest brother has four brothers, the eldest brother is the third, and the eldest brother is from his natal family because the other two brothers have their own livelihoods. The eldest brother is a carpenter and specializes in helping people. He earns money by sorting furniture. The second elder brother is a smart man. He saw his brother-in-law's family buying chickens, ducks and geese, so he came to ask. After getting permission, he brought his husband to raise these poultry and made some money.

The second brother only has him and his elder brother at home, so it was his elder brother who came. His elder brother had just had a baby not long ago, and the family was indeed a little nervous. Now that he heard that his younger brother's in-law's shop was recruiting, he immediately fell in love with him. Should come down.

The store has recruited manpower, and Wu Bai has become less busy than before. His main job every day is to prepare various seasonings and then hand them over to others.

Because this seasoning formula is the foundation of the Wu family's shop, every time Wu Bai prepares these things, he stays in the room behind the shop to prepare them, without letting the two elder brothers see.

As for the two elder brothers, Wu Bai naturally taught them, but judging from their actions, they are not the kind who only care about their mother's family and ignore their husband's family, so Wu Bai is very relieved of them.

Time passed quickly, and a month and a half passed before I knew it.

One day, Wu Bai was going out to buy spices. When he came back, he found that his shop was surrounded by many people. squeezed into the crowd and came to the store.

Seeing that the shop was peaceful and no one seemed to be looking for trouble, Wu Bai relaxed his heart a little.

"Brother Bai, you're back, go and have a look in the backyard." The second brother said to him.

Wu Bai took a few steps to the backyard and found that it was Wu's father and Wu Kang'an who had returned, so he completely let go of the tone in his heart.

"Father, second brother, you are back!" Wu Bai shouted in surprise.

Seeing the red faces of the two people and the excited look of the Wu family, Wu Bai immediately guessed that the second brother Wu must have been admitted to Juren, but he still needs to confirm: "Second brother, you are going to the next state capital this time. How did you do in the exam? You don't know that since you left, Second Brother has been telling us about you every day, all kinds of worries, you can't disappoint Second Brother's kindness!"

Hearing this, Wu Kang'an looked at his husband, who turned his face away shyly, and he couldn't help but smile.

Speaking of which, since the couple got married, apart from the fact that both of them were a little unfamiliar at the beginning, so they were shy, after that he rarely saw his husband shy, but he did not expect to see him today .

Thinking that he usually spends most of his time in the academy and rarely stays with Fulang, and now that the elder brother already has children, but the two of them have no children because they get together less often, he feels guilty for a while, He took the initiative to walk up to Fu Lang and grabbed his hand.

Wu Erfulang did not expect that Wu Kang'an would suddenly grab his hand. He looked at the teasing smiles on the faces of everyone in the Wu family, and felt even more embarrassed. He wished he could bury his head in the ground, and retracted his hand vigorously .

But the more this happened, the more Wu Kang'an would not let go of his hand. Wu Kang'an said: "Fu Lang, you have worked hard these two years. Now that I have passed the Juren exam, I will definitely not make you suffer again in the future. Just wait and enjoy!"

Wu's father and Wu's mother saw that their son had a close relationship with Fu Lang, but they didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, they were not too young. When it was time to hold their grandson, the closer their son and Fu Lang were, the more likely their wishes would be. early realization.

Because of this, Wu Fulang simply said, let Er Fulang Wu take care of his body first, and the couple can start preparing for pregnancy. As for his affairs, he will be handed over to Wu's father. Wu's father did not refuse this arrangement, and accepted it happily .

Seeing that the people in front of Wu's Braised Meat Shop couldn't see the freshly baked Mr. Juren for a while, everyone also dispersed slowly.

In the evening, after the store closed, everyone returned home.

Only then did Wu Bai ask: "Second brother, I heard that Dong Heng also participated in the provincial examination this time, have you met him, and has he been selected for the exam?"

He was so happy before that Wu Kang'an even forgot about Dong Heng. Now when he heard Wu Bai's question, he replied with a bad face: "He was also selected for Juren."

Because of Dong's mother slandering his shop for poisoning, Wu Kang'an always had a confrontation with Dong Heng when he was in the academy. This time he was admitted to Juren. He thought he could beat Dong Heng, but he didn't expect that the other party would also be admitted. It is precisely because the two names are close to each other that he saw Dong Heng's name when he saw his own name on the list. It was at this time that he knew Dong Heng's name. Heng also participated in the provincial examination.

Although he and Dong Heng both studied in the county school, their masters are not the same, so he didn't know that Dong Heng also participated in this rural examination.

Seeing Wu Kang'an's discouraged look, Wu Bai comforted him, "Second brother, don't be discouraged. If you work harder, you might be able to pass the Jinshi exam."
