Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 101 is here!

"What about after returning to the village?" Li Dashan asked.

"Continue when you return to the village!" Li Xiao smiled brightly.

"Dad, our family has more and more things to do now, and we have more and more opportunities to go out. It is inevitable that this horse-drawn carriage will replace the ox-cart."

"The results of the government examination will come out soon. If the eldest brother passes, he will be a child student and is eligible to study in the academy in Fucheng. If there is such a good opportunity, it is best for the eldest brother to study in Fucheng."

"This will inevitably require a carriage. Even if you don't go home for the monthly holiday, you still have to go home on holidays, right? Our family has a carriage, so of course we have to use it!"

"If our family later moved to Fucheng and bought a house and land, it would be impossible to leave the land and houses in the village alone. We would have to go back three or two times a year to visit, and the carriage would have to be used!"

"If you need a carriage, you have to have someone to drive it. Dad is familiar with cows. This is the first time our family has come into contact with horses. We don't even know about them! Don't prepare a good group of horses and let us laymen do it. It’s a waste, isn’t it?”

Li Xiao said a lot, Li Dashan and others were stunned for a while, but Li Qingsong looked at his sister with soft eyes, and couldn't help but feel gentle in his heart: He is so kind!

Li Dashan and Li Yuan discussed it in a low voice, and finally decided that it was feasible. After all, the family had already hired two stewards, and it would not be a big deal to have another coachman.

So Li Dashan asked Li Kui if he was willing to work at his house. When the time came, he would sign a contract as a long-term worker and receive fifteen cents a day including food and accommodation.

Of course, when the carriage was needed, he would help drive it, but usually he would also need to help with other tasks.

Long-term workers in the town usually receive ten to fifteen cents a day, including food and accommodation. Li Dashan directly gave him fifteen cents, which was the result of the discussion between the couple just now.

There happened to be an empty room at home, which could be freed up for Li Kui to live in.

Li Kui was surprised when he heard that Li Xiao wanted him to drive the car.

When Li Dashan and his wife agreed to Li Xiao's suggestion and asked him if he was willing, he wanted to say yes without saying a word, even if he didn't pay any wages!
His relatives drove him away, but strangers gave him the greatest warmth.

The 27-year-old tall man's eyes were red at this time. He rubbed his eyes. Li Kui nodded vigorously and said, "I do!"

"Great!" Li Xiao clapped her hands happily, "In the future, I can ride a carriage when I go out, and I won't be afraid even if it rains!"

Li Dashan and others also laughed happily after listening to Li Xiao's words.

Li Xiao came to the table, picked up the egg and put it in Li Kui's hand, "Uncle Kui, we will be a family soon, eat the eggs quickly!"

Li Kui looked at the egg in his hand and suddenly smiled. He peeled off the egg shell in two or three bites and finished a big egg in two or two bites.

Because of such a delay, it was already getting late, so a few people quickly packed up their things and then set out to look at the rankings.

There was still a crowd of people under the Dragon and Tiger Wall, so the family did not rush in. After half of the people were gone, they slowly moved under the wall to look at the list.

There were 150 people, but there were still five red lists posted. Li Xiao still started to read from the back, and saw his brother's name at the end of the third one.

Others naturally saw it, 86, ranked in the middle, but it was on the list. From today on, Li Qingsong is Tongsheng!

Everyone was very satisfied and happy, including the person involved, Li Qingsong.

In fact, he was hesitant when his master asked him to take the children's examination. After all, he had only been in school for a short time, and he was afraid that he would fail and upset his parents.

Now that the dust has settled and he is on the list, the stone in his heart has finally fallen.

"Brother is awesome!" Li Xiao looked at his brother's relieved look and knew that he was also under pressure during this period, so he extended his thumb and gave his brother a thumbs up.

Li Qingsong couldn't help but feel funny when he looked at his sister who was seriously praising him. He touched his sister's head and said, "Our Xiaoxiao is also great!" "Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao has always been great!" Li Xiao was not modest at all.

The whole family was laughing. They already knew the result and planned to go back as soon as possible.

Back in the small courtyard, Li Dashan drove the bullock cart in front, while Li Kui drove the carriage carrying the mother and son behind.

Before leaving the city, the family went to Jixiang Restaurant to say goodbye to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper heard that Li Qingsong had passed the examination, he naturally congratulated him and gave Li Qingsong a set of pens and ink he had just bought.

The family returned home at noon on April [-]th.

Fortunately, the weather was fine on the way back, and it was the fifteenth day of the month, a full moon night, so I could see the road clearly even in the middle of the night.

When the group arrived at the village, most of the families were asleep, and the village was extremely quiet, with only the clicking sounds of oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages left.

There is no one in Li Dashan's house now. Although he left a key for Li Dali and Li Cunliang, they only come here during the day to feed the animals and help look after the fields, and they lock the gate of the yard at night.

The five of them returned home, simply tidied up, washed and rested.

Everyone was tired after running all the way, but fortunately we bought big buns when we passed through the town, so our stomachs didn't hurt.

After being away from home for half a month, the bed smelled somewhat, so we changed the spare sheets and quilts and fell asleep.

Li Qingzhu's room, where Li Kui is staying temporarily, will have to tidy up the empty room tomorrow.

After being exhausted for several days, I was speechless all night.

Early the next morning, the villagers discovered that Li Dashan's family was back!

So not long after, Li Dashan's house was filled with people.

Everyone asked about the situation in Fucheng and Li Qingsong's child test. Of course, when there were more people, someone naturally discovered the carriage compartment, so the topic turned to Li Dashan's family buying a carriage.

The noise lasted for more than an hour and then slowly dispersed.

Li Dashan had time to go to the old carpenter's house and ask him to help him make the bed.

The materials were readily available at the old carpenter's house, and all he needed to do was assemble them. The old carpenter followed Li Dashan directly and took the things to Li Dashan's house.

When Li Kui saw that Li Dashan wanted to get him a new bed, he insisted that he could just use Li Qingzhu's old bed. He also said that he had just changed the sheets and bedding last night.

After some hesitation, the bed in Li Qingzhu's room was finally moved to an empty room, and a new bed was installed in Li Qingsong's room.

After a day of rest, on April [-], Li Qingsong went back to school.

Although he won the Tongsheng test this time, his ranking was not high in either the county or government examinations. This shows that he still has a lot to learn and he needs to work harder.

After Li Qingsong returned to school, the life of Li Dashan's family returned to normal.

Li Dali and Li Cunliang have sown the rice seedlings, and they will have to be transplanted in a few days.

Busy days always go by very quickly.
