Chapter 59
It was only now that Yu Xiaoxiao was completely free, but it didn't take long for her to be leisurely. Yu Xiaoxiao only went to see the chicken raising work occasionally. Fifth Aunt and Aunt Li did things very safely, which made Yu Xiaoxiao feel at ease.

Soon it will be the day when the family collects hemp sticks, Yu Xiaoxiao basically has nothing to do except wait for the child to go home for three days every month.

Yu Xiaoxiao was a little anxious to stay at home, so she thought about going hunting in early spring, just after winter, when the prey came out to look for food, presumably there must be a lot of prey, and this time she should be able to make a lot of money.

Just do what you want, Yu Xiaoxiao simply packed up early the next morning and went to the deep mountains. Sure enough, as expected, hunting is the best at this time, and no, I ran into a wild deer.

Last year I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't get it. This year, I came across it so easily.

Deer don't have much attack power. Of course, this is for Yu Xiaoxiao, so it's easy to fight. Even Yu Xiaoxiao didn't damage the deer skin.

After hitting the wild deer she was thinking of, Yu Xiaoxiao didn't plan on other prey in Huohuo Mountain Forest, and turned around to go down the mountain.

Who knew that there were actually "blockers", Yu Xiaoxiao watched the silly roe deer running around in front of her, and finally couldn't hold back, so she beat the silly roe deer as well, successfully making him one of today's trophies.

Familiar taste, familiar recipe.

After a lot of tossing and going, they came to the big family that had cooperated twice, without Yu Xiaoxiao saying anything, seeing the prey that Yu Xiaoxiao brought, the transaction was completed happily.

Yu Xiaoxiao was cold as always, took the money and left.

The deer is really valuable, and with the addition of a silly roe deer, I made up the whole thing and gave it 500 taels.

Yu Xiaoxiao exchanged it for ten 50 tael bank notes, and went home happily.

The family fortune soared, Yu Xiaoxiao cut up her own flesh and made a good meal for herself.

In the blink of an eye, it was late March, and Yu Xiaoxiao took Shen Qi to Anyuan County to take the government examination here.

This time, he only stayed for half a month before coming back. As for Shen Qi's exam results, he did not pass the exam as expected, so he had to retake the exam next year.

After sending Shen Qi back to his private school to continue studying, Yu Xiaoxiao went back to the village to stay.

After that, I waited at home, and at about the same time, I went to collect the hemp rods, spin the hemp thread, and weave the linen cloth. After a series of processes were completed, it was almost July.

Shen Ye said before that he planned to give it a try this year, to see if he could pass the examination of scholar.

And the examination time of the hospital is in August, so I have to go on the road a month in advance to get to Xu Yuefu a few days in advance.

Xu Yuefu is the upper territory of Anyuan County, and Shen Ye got Xu Yuefu to take part in the hospital examination.

Looking for a place to live in Xu Lefu, the housing prices here are much more expensive than Anyuan County, this trip cost more than the previous two months in Anyuan County.

After these two exams, the two children basically emptied the family's remaining money.

As expected, Shen Ye failed the ranking, Yu Xiaoxiao was not surprised by this, whoever can come to take the hospital examination is not a genius among geniuses, it is too difficult to win the exam.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't expect Shen Ye to pass the exam from the beginning, this time she came here just to spend money to buy experience.

When the two returned home, Shen Ye continued to study, and Yu Xiaoxiao continued to live her little life at home.

Soon, it will be the autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, it was time to pay taxes again. Yu Xiaoxiao calculated that in her small coffers, she still had about 11 taels and 3 taels of silver and 8 pennies, which is about 20 taels.

This year, she still has to pay 26 taels and 3 taels of silver. After paying the tax, Yu Xiaoxiao will be in debt for more than 5 taels.

She will have to save enough money to buy firewood in the near future, Yu Xiaoxiao supported her head and thought, and suddenly thought that the money from the cooperation with the restaurant in the first half of the year had not yet been settled, and she would have money again if she settled it tomorrow.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Xiaoxiao no longer has a headache, and doesn't think about ways to make money. Every day, she either makes clothes at home or wanders around the village chatting with people.

After paying the tax, Yu Xiaoxiao stayed at home for a while, and then began to collect firewood and burn charcoal in full swing. Over the past few years, Yu Xiaoxiao has figured out how much charcoal this town can eat.

Therefore, basically, if a certain amount is collected, Yu Xiaoxiao will no longer accept it. After several years of charcoal business, some people naturally follow suit, and Yu Xiaoxiao also gave up a certain share.

Over the past few years, I have been doing business with regular customers.

After burning a certain amount of charcoal, Yu Xiaoxiao delivered it to regular customers. This year, she still earned 38 taels.

Then, Yu Xiaoxiao started to cat winter at home, and the whole person was lazy.

Next year, you don't need to prepare so much money for the elder son to take the exam, you only need to prepare the money for the younger son to go to the government exam.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the two children returned home on time.

It's no different from usual to celebrate the New Year together.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, it's time for annual summaries.

Everyone is used to it, so the speed is not slow, and the statistics will come out soon.

Yu Xiaoxiao has 78 taels of silver, 5 pennies and 842 coins.

Shen Ye has 51 taels of silver, 3 pennies and 2 copper coins.

Shen Qi has 12 taels of silver, 8 penny and 1 copper coins.

Yu Xiaoxiao has saved 50 taels this year, as in previous years, and now has a total of 1831 taels.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't directly say how much money the family has this year. After counting the money, the family sat together and gossiped, and went to sleep separately at night.

In the new year, just like last year, time flies, Shen Qi went to take the government exam again, this time it went very smoothly, easily passed the Tongsheng exam, after returning, Shen Qi changed to a government school to study, and studied hard with his elder brother , Marching towards the scholar.

So the family was lively again, and received gifts from the villagers again, which was not much different from the time when the eldest son Shen Ye was there, still eating.

Yu Xiaoxiao received these gift-giving villagers at home, and once again dissuaded them from wanting to get married, and refused to let go.

This year there were no more ups and downs, life was very peaceful, Yu Xiaoxiao only earned 50 taels from hunting.

In the second year, it was the same, without any accidents.

This year Yu Xiaoxiao earned 20 taels from hunting, but there is still no difference.

In the blink of an eye, it will be the third year. This year, the two children went to Fucheng to take the exam at the same time. Without any accident, both of them failed the exam.

The cost of the two of them was even greater. Fortunately, the exam was only taken once every three years, otherwise Yu Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn't afford it.

The two failed the rankings, and they were not discouraged. They were not very old, and they still had a chance.

The two sons are all determined to be a scholar, and they will consider other things if they are a scholar.

After being selected as a scholar, they will continue to study. If they still fail to pass the exam, then they will find another way out, otherwise all these years will be in vain.

The three of them went home, and the two sons continued to study. They planned to work harder in the past three years, but Yu Xiaoxiao still lived a leisurely retirement life.
