Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 292 291 Going Home
The journey back was much easier.

It was late August at this time, and although it was still very hot, Jiang’s house had ice, and many people on the road borrowed ice from them, and when they rested at night, they found firewood to boil water by themselves.

Wait until the ice water has almost evaporated before returning it to the Jiang family.

Jiang Hu specially took one or two wooden basins, put them on the bullock cart behind to pull things, and deliberately basked in the sun, basically it can be dried in two days, and the saltpeter can be recovered.

Because there were ice cubes to cool down, everyone was not so stuffy in the carriage, and their spirits improved a lot.

Because Jiang Hu didn't take their money, he occasionally boiled mung bean soup, and would share a portion with his companions after chilling.

Most of them are teenagers who are not much older than Jiang Yu and Liu Ze, and occasionally there are a few older ones who are also younger than Jiang Hu.

Jiang Hu was kind-hearted, seeing them helping to carry water and firewood at night, he generously lent out ice cubes, and every night, he would definitely take back all the lent out.

After all, brothers have to settle their accounts clearly, not to mention that this saltpeter is not something that can be squandered casually, and it has to be returned to the Yamen after the scorching heat.

In summer, it will rain every now and then, and the way back is no exception, but summer rain comes and goes quickly, as long as there is a heavy rain, be careful to avoid falling rocks on the mountain.

It took another [-] days to return to Xiangmu Village safely and without hindrance.

At this time, it was late September, and it was three months since they left!
The news of their return, Chen Bantou sent people to go to the yamen to report the news one day in advance.

This time Cheng County also has four admitted to the scholar, which is also a great joy.

Early in the morning, gongs and drums were played at the gate of the city to welcome the new scholar.

I heard that even the county magistrate personally set up a banquet and invited the family members of the four scholar masters, waiting for them to go back and celebrate together.

But these seem to have nothing to do with Jiang Hu and his party.

When he reached the gate of Chengxian County, Jiang Hu told Bantou Chen, and then drove the carriage around and went back to Xiangmu Village.

After all, this entry and exit is more than a dozen copper coins.

Both Liu Ze's parents were in the city, but Jiang Hu thought about it and let him go home first.

The others are better. Liu Ze has really suffered during this period, and his complexion has weakened a lot. Compared with the flushed face when he first set off, he really seems to be recovering from a serious illness.

It was also because of this that Jiang Hu decided to take him back to Xiangmu Village directly. After all, Liu Ze would feel much better after eating the food at home.

And the most energetic ones are still Xiaomi and Wei Ziang.

The two came back from hunting all the way, and with the bows and arrows that Yingying gave them, the harvest also increased in a straight line.

Sometimes there are too many prey, and it is far away from the next county or small town, so they simply give away half-sold ones for free and deal with other people in the same industry.

The Jiang family and his party traveled this time. Although Jiang Yu and Liu Ze didn't pass the examination as a scholar, they are considered famous after their peers.

This is still being recognized by others. It turns out that they are the ones who cook every day in the examination room.

Back all the way, as long as there was an opportunity, many mathematicians would ask the two of them how to cook.

After all, for so many years, many candidates have been embarrassed to collect it because they have eaten up their stomachs.

Not to mention anything else, at least the food is cooked in the examination room, so it's good if you don't have diarrhea.

In the past, everyone was not good at cooking, and everyone did that, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But this time, with Liu Ze and Jiang Yu demonstrating in front of him, I realized that spending a little time learning how to cook, even if it is lighting a fire and boiling water, is better than nothing.

Based on the reactions of other students in the same industry, it is not difficult to guess that there will definitely be some people who will learn it when they take the college exam next time.

Closer to home, when the group set off, the village was still green everywhere, with corn and sorghum connected in pieces.

But now, the corn and sorghum have been harvested, the corn stalks and sorghum stalks have been cut down, and the ground is covered with sweet potato vines, and there are many mung beans and soybeans in the corners.

Seeing that it was almost home, Xiaomi couldn't help it.

"Mom, I'm going down for a walk."

After speaking, he jumped off the carriage without waiting for the others to react.

Fortunately, the carriage was also moving slowly at the moment, so it landed steadily.

"You child, be careful." Er Niang only had time to warn from the car window.

Xiaomi jumped out of the car and ran to the side of the road, beckoning to his mother: "I'm fine, you go back first, I'll walk by myself."

It can be regarded as home, this journey, she definitely doesn't want to get in the carriage again for a year!

When another carriage passed by, Wei Ziang also jumped down, and Jiang Hu also told them to be careful.

They have all entered the village and the door of the house, so there is no need to worry about them getting lost or anything.

The most important thing is that during this trip, the strength shown by the two of them can completely reassure the adults in the family.

"Brother, why did you come down, are you too tired from the carriage?"

Xiaomi is not a person who can stand it. Being locked in such a small carriage all day long has already made him miserable.

When she was on the road, she once proposed to run with the carriage when it was cool in the morning and evening, but her parents strongly opposed it, so she had to let it go.

On the way, it was because there were too many men in the company, no matter how young Xiaomi was, she was still a girl, so her parents were naturally worried.

It's all coming home soon, so naturally you don't have to worry so much.

Wei Ziang nodded: "It's quite boring, it's still early, does Xiaomi want to go for a walk in the field?"

They rushed to the county seat ten kilometers away last night, but it was already midnight and the city gate was closed, so they didn't rush on their way.

Although Jiang Hu and the others live outside the city, it is not impossible to walk around the city and go home directly, but it is difficult to travel in the middle of the night, so they also rested for the night.

At the beginning of Mao this morning, I got up at dawn and started on my way. Because I was eager to go home, I didn't even bother to eat, and I was thinking about going home early.

No, it's not even Chen Shi yet.

The morning breeze blows on the body, and the whole person is refreshed and very comfortable.

I ate late last night, so I don't feel hungry at the moment. Hearing Wei Ziang's proposal, Xiaomi's heart skipped a beat.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the field to have a look. In previous years, we were catching eels at this time, but this year I missed it for several months!"

As he said that, he pulled Wei Ziang, and left the village road with a turn of his footsteps, and went up to the ridge of the field.

"I don't know how Xiaocao's archery is doing. She has no foundation at all. It must be very hard for her to learn how to hunt."

After returning home, Xiaomi also thought of his other little friend.

In Xiangmu Village, there are many children of the same age, but Zhang Xiaocao is the only one who has the best relationship with her.

After all, they moved from other places, and they lived at the entrance of the village, far away from other people in the village. Except for herself, several brothers and sisters went to the city to study and embroider every day.

As for the only one who stayed at home, she liked hunting not to mention, and she rarely had contact with other children in the village.

Speaking of it, I still feel a little guilty. I was outside and completely forgot about my little sister at home. Now that I am back, I remembered that there is still a little sister at home.

"It just so happens that it's still early, why don't you go and have a look?"

The main reason is to walk around and relieve the discomfort of sitting in a carriage for a long time.

Xiaomi thought about it, he wasn't hungry anyway, and Xiaocao was probably doing housework at home right now.

"Okay, let's take a look."

Just when he was about to change direction and go directly to Xiaocao's house, he heard an excited voice.

"Xiaomi! Xiaomi, you are really back!"

Yo, who is it if it’s not Xiaocao?Carrying a basket on his back, he is cutting sweet potato vines in his field.

"Xiaocao!" Xiaomi also waved excitedly, and ran towards Xiaocao.

"I was going to find you, but I didn't expect you to be here."

Xiaocao was darker than when she left. It should have been tanned by the busy farming some time ago, but when she saw Xiaomi, she still grinned.

"When I saw the carriage just now, I guessed that you were back. How about it, have your brother and the others passed the exam?"

The two children of Jiang's family went to take the exam for scholar. This is a big deal, and it has been spread in the village for a long time.

The villagers thought that Liu Ze was also a child of the Jiang family, a distant relative, etc. Jiang Yu didn't explain too much.

"No, but you can take the exam again next year, don't be afraid." This is not something to be ashamed of, Xiaomi naturally admitted it openly.

"Oh, don't be sad. I heard that it's very difficult to take the exam. Some people can't pass the exam until they are five or sixty years old. Your eldest brother and them are still children."

This is so right that Xiaomi doesn't know how to answer, but she knows that Xiaocao just wants to comfort herself.

The two little sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, so Xiaocao simply put down her sickle and pulled Xiaomi to talk, while Jiang Yu was listening and accompanying Xiaomi.

(Mao time: 5 am to 7 am, Chen time: 7 am to 9 am)
　I'm sorry everyone, I will accompany my daughter on June [-]st today, and it's too late to go home. I will try to update more than [-], and continue to ask for support.
