Chapter 67
In the twelfth lunar month, there is a rare day when the sun shines.

In the yard, Mrs. Jiang and old Shentou were basking in the sun. Mrs. Shen on the recliner was already drowsily falling asleep. Mrs. Jiang was sitting on a low stool with his back against the wall, watching Shen Zheng climb up on the swing like a monkey. Then, swinging himself high.

Xiao Miao'er stood around and kept shouting to go up.

Shen Dahe and Li Shi went to the county town to set up a stall, and Qingxiu was cooking her dishes in the outer courtyard.

And Shen Qingning stood in the yard holding a knife, "Grandma, is this one okay?"

She held a knife in one hand and a hanger of bacon in the other. This morning she was muttering that the bacon was ready to be fried and eaten.

Jiang turned his head to look, "Okay, let's just take that one, half-dried ones are best."

After hearing this, Shen Qingning cut off a piece and raised his hand to Shen Zheng, "Eat bacon at noon."

Shen Zheng swayed happily, "Oh, let's eat bacon, let's eat bacon."

Xiao Miaoer next to him also joined in the fun, "Eat bacon, eat bacon."

Qingxiu was coming from the backyard, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Did the three of you agree to be reincarnated into a family in your previous life? A whole family of delicious people!"

Jiang Shi was in a trance for a while, and it had been a long time since he had such a comfortable and carefree feeling.

It seems that there is no need to worry about anything, all you need to do is watch the children happily gossip, and the whole family will be happy without worrying about food and clothing.

"Dahe, Dahe! Hit! Dahe, Dahe! Hit!"

With a bang, the courtyard door was pushed open, and it was Uncle Zhao who was right there!
Shen Qingning was still holding the frightened knife in his hand, and Qingxiu was also holding a pot of vegetables leaves and stood there in a daze.

Uncle Zhao put his hands on his knees, panting for breath.

It was the old Shentou who was woken up, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong with Dahe, what happened?"

"Uncle, your family, Shen Guan, has been admitted to Tongsheng!"

Jiang was so excited that he stood up from the low stool, "What?"

Old Shentou also sat up straight, "Has Guan'er been admitted to Tongsheng?"

~~~
Mrs. Li stood at the gate of the yard and kept looking around. I don't know how many times he asked, "Why hasn't Guan'er come back?"

Shen Qingning didn't know how many times she had dragged her mother back to the yard, "Brother usually isn't home at this time, so don't worry."

Li's mouth hasn't closed since hearing the news, "Oh, how can you not be in a hurry, this kid is admitted to Tongsheng, how can he walk back slowly?"

Shen Dahe said with a smile, "If it were me, I would definitely not eat any food, and would run back to announce the good news."

Jiang shi replied, "When you three brothers were as old as Guan'er, they were not as stable as him."

Old Shentou also nodded, "Guan'er can hold his breath, and he doesn't tell his family about such things as the examination of Tongsheng."

"Yeah, if Lizheng wasn't so happy and came to my house to report the news, the kid probably wouldn't have said that the first time when he got home."

This time, Dongshui Village really has a lot of faces. Three children, Shen Guan, Zhao Wenhao, and Shen Ming, were admitted in one fell swoop.

Among the three, Shen Ming is the oldest, so the teacher in the private school two years ago let him go back to study by himself. He can teach everything he can teach, and if he will depend on his own luck in the future.

Shen Guan and Zhao Wenhao are both 14 years old.

Mrs. Li rubbed her hands with a look of longing, "If you pass the Tongsheng test, you will be a scholar, right? If you are selected as a scholar, wouldn't you be a scholar?"

When I think of my son, I will be called Shen Xiucai in the future, Li Shi is so beautiful.

"Shen Xiucai, Shen Xiucai? It sounds nice!"

Shen Qingning couldn't stand it anymore, "Scholars are like this, what if you get passed the exam?"

"Zhong Ju? Does Zhong Ju qualify as an official? Oh, yo, my Guan'er will be an official!"

Shen Qingning found that her mother's thinking jumped up, which was very similar to her ancestral Li family's accounting method. Besides, Shen Guan was not far away from becoming a marquis and worshiping a minister.

I don't know when Shen Guan comes back, how will Mrs. Li praise him to the sky?
Finally, Shen Tongsheng came back.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he was a thousand times more restrained than Li Shi.

Seeing her son, Mrs. Li's first sentence was, "You child, why are you so big-hearted, and you didn't tell your family about such a big event as the entrance examination?"

"Mom, do you know?"

Shen Qingning hurriedly shared the news with him, "Today Uncle Zhao came to our house to report, saying that our village passed three children's exams at once."

"Three? Who is the other one? Shen Ming?"

"kindness."

Shen Guan put down the book, "The master notified us after we went to school today."

When Mrs. Li was in the county, her son got the letter.

"Why don't you go to the stall and tell me to make your mother happy."

Shen Guan smiled faintly, "Don't you know now?"

Shen Dahe also asked him, "You're taking the exam, why doesn't your family know anything about it?"

"Isn't the family too busy lately? Grandpa was injured, and the workshop at home is still under construction. You and mother have to go out every day, so I didn't say anything. Anyway, you are taking the exam in the county town, so you don't need to prepare anything."

Shen Qingning was curious, "I took the county school exam? Is there a cubicle for each person? Can't even go to the toilet?"

"You're talking about jurors. We're just children. It's not time for lunch after the exam."

What did Mrs. Li think of at this moment, "If you pass the exam, do you want to have a banquet at Tongsheng's house?"

Shen Guan immediately refused, "Wen Hao and I both agreed to hold the banquet, and it won't be too late to wait until we are selected as a scholar."

"Brother, when will you be a scholar?"

"Next May."

"It didn't take long, less than half a year."

Shen Guan was amused by her, "The exam will be in May next year, but where will I be able to pass the exam next year? All the students who will take the exam will be children, and some students have not passed the exam for several years or more than ten years. Yes. Even this time, there are children who are older than dad."

"You're so good, you won the first-time exam for a child student, maybe this scholar will also win the first-time exam?"

Jiang shi said, "Don't think like this, Guan'er should not have such an idea, you have to know that reading is the most important thing to persevere, every day you study hard, you will be fifteen next year, so don't worry."

"Grandma, I know."

The whole family happily started eating, and those well-connected villagers who got the news also came to join in the fun.

Aunt Lanhua mentioned that Shen Mingzhong had become a Tongsheng, and his family had already started organizing banquets.

"Well, if you want me to say that there are three people in our village this year, and even counting his age, the two younger ones don't hold banquets. His family should restrain themselves first."

Shen Ming's grandfather was Old Shentou's brother, Grandpa Shen. There was only one son born in this great grandfather's family, which was Shen Ming's father, Shen Quanyou.

Shen Quanyou gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Shen Liang and the youngest son Shen Ming.

Some people in the village said that his family was not prosperous, but Shen Qingning felt that it was because they had fewer children that the great-grandfather's family could live a prosperous life like this.

If her great-grandfather had also given birth to three sons, and the family property was divided into one share, it would be less than ten mu of land with Shen Ming's father, then it would not be a family property worth talking about.

 Please comment, stand-alone is so painful, come and discuss the plot! !
