Chapter 46 Departure
Yuan Xiucai was also polite, avoiding the position where Yu Xiaoxiao's hand was touched, took the basket, and said with a smile: "Can you tell me your names and where you live?"

Shen Ye was a scholar and said: "Student Shen Ye, a member of Shenjia Village under Qingshan Town."

Shen Qi followed suit: "Student Shen Qi is also from Shenjia Village under Qingshan Town."

Yuan Xiucai nodded to show that he understood: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll write the guarantee letter right away."

"Ok."

Yu Xiaoxiao quickly responded, and then watched Yuan Xiucai and the child enter the kitchen together, put down the basket, and then went to her study to write a guarantee letter for the two of them.

A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Xiucai came out with two pieces of paper with some wet ink on them, and handed them to Shen Ye and Shen Qi respectively: "You can go to the government to report with these two letters of guarantee, and you will get a guide. 2 It will be used in the county test of the month."

Shen Ye once again made a scholarly salute and said, "Thank you for your reminder, sir."

Yuan Xiucai nodded, and then began to chase people away: "Okay, you can leave now."

The three of Yu Xiaoxiao didn't care, they got the things anyway, so they left happily, and went to the government to report to the government to get a guide.

After going to the government, it took another tael of silver to get the guides for the two people.

Yu Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart, studying is really costly, the two exam qualifications alone cost more than seven taels, and when the time comes to live in the county, preparing for the exam will cost a lot of money, tsk tsk... This is the true meaning of ancient reading. The difficulty lies!

Sure enough, the poor family of the ancients and the poor family understood by modern people have completely different meanings.

If this ordinary family wants to produce a scholar, it really has to be supported by a family of more than a dozen people. The cost is simply not affordable by ordinary families.

After sighing, Yu Xiaoxiao packed up her mood and continued her life.

When the three of them returned home, Yu Xiaoxiao began to prepare things to take away in a few days. That's right, Yu Xiaoxiao planned to go ten days in advance, and then she could rent a house to live in.

Yu Xiaoxiao asked Shen Qi to tell Fifth Aunt and Aunt Li that her family planned to go to the county in two days and would not come back until April. By the way, she had to explain what she had done before, and she must do it in the next few months As before, nothing can go wrong.

If they do well, when their family comes back, they will give an extra 200 Wen as a reward.

After exhorting Shen Qi, Yu Xiaoxiao and Shen Ye took a basket of eggs and the money needed to buy hemp sticks in previous years, and went to the village head's house to ask for work.

A basket of eggs is the trouble. Yu Xiaoxiao told the village chief that she would take her two children to take the county test, and told herself that she would rent a house half a month in advance. The child will continue to take the government test, and will not bring the child back until the results of the government test come out.

He also warned: "In the past few months, I have to ask Aunt Osmanthus to look after the house, and there is also the matter of collecting hemp poles in the village. Everyone in the village is waiting to make money, so we can't delay everyone because of our own affairs.

I also need to trouble the village head, your family to help collect the hemp stalks. This is the money used to collect the hemp stalks in previous years. If there is less money, please ask the village head uncle to help with it first, and then return it to you, the village head uncle .

You can see it? "

After hearing this, the village head and Aunt Osmanthus said that it was a big deal: "Girl Xiao, don't worry about entrusting us with your family affairs, we will definitely show you well in the past few months.

This is a big deal for two children, you have to take good care of these two children. "

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "Well, I will definitely take care of it. You keep this basket of eggs, but don't refuse, otherwise I will feel sorry for bothering you so much."

The village head and Aunt Osmanthus looked at each other, and at the same time understood what they meant, Aunt Osmanthus smiled and took it over: "You have said that, Auntie will not be polite to you, wait a moment, Auntie will give you the basket Make room."

After all, go back to the house and put the eggs away.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the village chief and said, "I'll leave that matter to you, Uncle, and we plan to leave in three days."

"Okay, the three of you, mother and son, must go with the others when the time comes, and try to take the official road, you know? Although our place is not too far from Anyuan County, I am afraid that there will be danger on the road.

Just go out, be vigilant at all times, don't let anyone bully you mother and son..."

Yu Xiaoxiao listened obediently, nodding from time to time to show that she had listened.

Aunt Osmanthus came out with an empty basket after a while, and while returning the basket to Yu Xiaoxiao, she couldn't help telling Yu Xiaoxiao to be careful like her old man.

Yu Xiaoxiao knew it was the kindness of the elders, so she picked them up one by one, and was told for a long time before being let go by the two of them.

Back at her home, Yu Xiaoxiao rubbed her head that hurt from the nagging, and continued to prepare her luggage.

Finally, after thinking about it, Yu Xiaoxiao took out the same things from the packed luggage again. It was inconvenient to carry too many things when going out, and besides, it was not that she didn't have money, and she would just buy what was lacking at that time.

So there was such a scene, Yu Xiaoxiao took out a crock pot from the luggage, put it back in place and said in his mouth: "When the time comes, you can rent the yard and buy it. It's not expensive, it's only a few pennies. You can buy it Affordable, affordable..."

Then I took out some miscellaneous things, and said the same sentence in my mouth, "I rented the yard and bought it. It's not expensive, it's only a few pennies. I can afford it..."

At the end of the packing, there were only three people's money boxes, the money box containing all the family belongings, and three sets of clothes for each person.

A back basket can hold it, Yu Xiaoxiao is afraid that she will be short of money, and feels that she has packed less luggage, and finally puts back the ones she just took out, and then quickly shifts her attention to clean up the mess she made just now. The room was tidied up.

Then, without even daring to look at the luggage, he turned his head to the kitchen to make dry food for the three of them, and took it with him to eat on the road.

I didn't do anything too complicated, so I made a dozen scallion pancakes and cooked the meal by the way.

When the meal was ready, the two children also finished all their own affairs and packed their luggage by the way.

In one hand, there is an exquisite little basket, which contains the two people's pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and when Shen Ye took over the job of copying books, he super-recorded books that are useful to himself and his younger brother. that's it.

After eating, the three of them went back to their houses to sleep.

In the blink of an eye, the third day was the day when Yu Xiaoxiao's mother and son planned to leave.

The three of them got up early, and Yu Xiaoxiao heated up the scallion pancakes first, then wrapped them separately in oil paper bought in advance, put half of them in the basket, and wrapped them in clothes.

Half of it was divided into three portions again, and each of the mother and child carried one portion in their arms, so it was convenient to take out to eat when they were hungry.

After tidying up, Yu Xiaoxiao carried the sacrificial basket on her back, and the two teenagers also carried their own baskets, and left the village in the morning light for Anyuan County.
