Chapter 114

After dinner, Tao Yongneng told his family that he had taken on a job, which would last until summer.

Brother Tao Zuoliang congratulated him, and he said modestly: "It's because your uncle has a lot of things to do, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do this job."

Brother Tao Zuoliang still smiled and congratulated him: "Father, if you don't have superb craftsmanship, others will not entrust the work to Dad. Dad, where you need our help, you can just call us."

Tao Yongneng turned his head and asked Tao Weicheng with a smile: "Cheng'er, you are not very old, and the family can afford your brother's education now. You will take a big exam this year. Whether you pass the exam or not, will you study for another year?"

Tao Weicheng smiled and shook his head: "Grandfather, I have studied for so many years. If I can't take the big exam, I don't know the bottom of my heart. After I took the exam this time, I knew the gap between me and others. It's safe."

Tao Weicheng has signed up for this year's examination for children's students. He himself feels that there is not much hope. His master persuaded him to take the examination a year later, maybe he will be more confident.

With his current situation, he may be able to pass the first test, but the second test depends on luck. The number of people in Fenzhou City is not many on the third test every year, and it is probably the same this year. Tao Weicheng also feels that his hope is not great.

Tao Yongneng approached Tao Zuoliang in private and said, "Liang Er, go to the school tomorrow and ask your master about Cheng Er's studies. If he has hope to continue studying, you can persuade him well."

Tao Zuoliang understood what Tao Yongneng meant. He went to the school to ask his master, and the master said to him heart-to-heart: "Tao Weicheng is a very sensible student who knows how to advance and retreat. I support his decision."

The Master's words were not very clear, but Tao Zuoliang did not continue to ask. He came back and had a serious talk with Tao Weicheng, and finally decided to support Tao Weicheng's decision.

The day of the county examination came under the rainy spring, and Tao Weicheng was the first person in Tao Yongneng's house to take the exam. When the whole family got up early in the morning, they were all very careful.

The sky had just turned bright, and Tao Zuoliang had already sent Tao Weicheng to take the exam.

Ping Sanshun and Ji Bajie were very excited. They walked around the yard several times before they calmed down.

When Tao Qingbi entered the school, she had just sat down when Ying Hongtang rushed over and said, "A magpie came to my house today, and it barked several times. My elder brother must have passed the exam."

Tao Qingbi recalled that she also heard the sound of birds chirping in the morning, and said joyfully, "Brown Tang, I also had magpies chirping several times today, my elder brother will definitely be on the list this time."

Ying Honghua sat beside her, not bothering to remind the two of them that at this time, every family could welcome the cries of magpies, and every family was very happy.

Ying Hongtang would not let Ying Honghua sit idle, she turned to Honghua and said, "Sister, several magpies have come to our house to announce the good news, right?"

Ying Honghua nodded with a smile, Tao Qingbi thought about it seriously, and said, "I went into the room to freshen up, maybe at that time, a group of magpies came to my house to announce the good news."

"Pfft." Ying Honghua couldn't help laughing on the sidelines, as expected, it was children who would compete to win or lose in terms of numbers.

Ying Hongtang turned her head to look at Ying Honghua: "Sister, when I entered the room, did two groups of magpies come to our house to announce the good news?"

Ying Honghua looked at the door of the classroom, sat up straight at once, and reminded in a low voice: "Master is here, please sit down."

Ying Hongtang immediately took a step back and sat down. Tao Qingbi opened the pages of the book directly, and the two looked down at each other. The master stood on the podium, looking at the students below who were looking at the pages, with a satisfied expression on his face.

After the county test, Tao Weicheng came back to study hard. Three days later, he was on the list. Tao Yongneng and his family were secretly happy. Tao Weicheng privately said to Tao Zuoliang, "Father, I was lucky enough to pass the county test this time."

Tao Zuoliang patted him on the shoulder: "It's already very good."

On the day of Tao Weicheng's exam, the weather was rare, and Tao Zuoliang sent his son to take the exam, and he felt better.

In the afternoon, he took Tao Weicheng home. In the carriage, Tao Weicheng shook his head at him and said, "Father, you didn't do well in the exam."

Tao Zuoliang made preparations in his heart, but he was still disappointed when he heard Tao Weicheng's words. He smiled at Tao Weicheng and said, "Okay, if you are still on the list this time, your grandfather will definitely ask you to continue studying for two years." .”

"Father, it's not that I don't want to study, but I will study for a few more years, and it will be about the same level as I am now. I won't study. I will come back and do my best. Let my brothers continue to study."

On the day when the government examination was released, it rained heavily again. Tao Zuoliang and his son went to see it. They rushed back before noon. Ping Sanshun and Ji Bajie saw their expressions and hurriedly asked them to sit down and drink a bowl of ginger soup.

Tao Zuoliang shook his head at their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Tao Weicheng said bluntly: "I carefully read the names on the list. Only Ying Ziqi passed this time in our school. He will continue to take the college examination."

Tao Qingbi had already heard the news in the school. When she came back to see Tao Weicheng, she said cautiously, "Brother, you are already very capable. You have passed the first test."

Tao Weicheng looked at her amusedly: "Niuniu, relax a little bit. Brother said earlier that after this exam, he will stop studying and come back to work with peace of mind. In the future, when there are fewer goods in the store, brother can also make some items to send over. "

"Brother, let's make a few small spinning wheels. The small spinning wheels that have been carefully polished will definitely sell well."

"Okay, I'll make it tomorrow. If it's sold, I'll buy the meat and invite everyone to eat it."

"Okay, what big brother makes will definitely sell well."

The two brothers and sisters talked about the work, and after Ping Sanshun and Ji Bajie exchanged glances, the two laughed. In this situation, Tao Weicheng stopped studying, which actually relieved the pressure on the family a lot.

Ping Sanshun and Ji Bajie said in a low voice: "Cheng'er is also getting old, you should pay more attention to the situation of each family outside in the future, if there is a good woman, you can also tell the woman's family in advance."

Ji Bajie was stunned, and Ping Sanshun looked at the expression on her face, and smiled: "My mother-in-law told me about Liang Er's big event, and I was also stunned for a while, never thinking about how the child grew up so quickly gone."

Ji Bajie glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, I will be busy with Cheng'er's important work in two years, I think he is still a child now, let him learn to do two years' work with peace of mind."

Ping Sanshun smiled and said: "I just want to remind you that as parents, you should discuss and decide on your own. Your father and I have already said that as long as you are parents and don't think badly about the children, me and Your father will not interfere with your decision."

"Mom, we definitely won't have bad thoughts about our children's affairs, and we also hope that they will have a good life in the future."
