The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 439: Childlike
Upon hearing that Fan Jin had ranked 195th, Clan Leader Fan breathed a sigh of relief. This was a very low ranking, but fortunately he had passed.

It's amazing that Jin'er passed the college entrance examination on his first try!

When Fan Qing and others heard Fan Jin's ranking, they all had an idea in their minds.

They would have to ask Fan Jin for advice on the test questions this time. Tomorrow they would try to do them and let the teacher take a look.

Everyone went to Fan Jin's house chatting and laughing. Soon, Mrs. Lu and other daughters-in-law also prepared wine and food. They ate and drank in a lively atmosphere and did not stop until almost late at night.

Fan Jin was dragged into drinking quite a bit of wine. He didn't drink like this originally, but the head of the Fan clan said that he was already seventeen years old this year and had passed the imperial examination, so he would have to drink for social events in the future. So it would be good for him to start drinking and improve his alcohol tolerance.

I felt uncomfortable smelling of alcohol, so I quickly took a comfortable shower.

Although it was late at night, Fan Jin did not slack off. He still did the required number of push-ups and sit-ups before resting.

When he got up early in the morning and went out for some boxing and exercises, and came back, Mrs. Lu had already asked the maid to prepare a delicious breakfast and put it in the main room for him.

When Fan Jin walked in, Lu waved at him and said, "Come and burn some incense for your father. It was too late yesterday. Today, you should tell your father in person that you have passed the examination. If your father is still alive, he will be very happy."

Fan Jin obediently walked over, took the incense, and followed Mrs. Lu's instructions. He respectfully lit the incense on the tablet on the table and recited some words.

Mrs. Lu was watching from the side and her eyes were also wet.

The mother and son had breakfast together, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as ever.

"When are you going to the prefectural school?"

"I'll go in two days. When you get there, mom will be at home. You have to take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry about me. When you go to the academy, you must take good care of yourself. If you have anything to discuss, please consult your cousin. I'm afraid you can't bring a book boy into the academy. Are you going to live in the academy or rent a house?"

Fan Jin said, "I have to study in the government school for at least a year, so it's more convenient to live outside. Shi Liu's house in Guihua Lane is empty anyway, so I might as well buy it from her."

Mrs. Lu listened and said angrily, "You always bother Shi Liu."

Fan Jin grinned.

Mrs. Lu was also happy when she saw this.

Her husband passed away too early, and she raised her eldest son alone. She couldn't tell others about the bitterness of the experience.

Now that her son has finally grown up, found a good marriage, and passed the imperial examination, she is now looking forward to her son's success in the imperial examination, her daughter-in-law coming home soon, and having children - this family will become more and more lively.

"While you are at home these two days, you can personally make a list of betrothal gifts, so that I can ask Matchmaker Jin to send it to the Li family for review and see if they have any other requirements, and then add them -"

Fan Jin nodded in agreement.

-

I took a whole day boat ride yesterday. After coming back, I had dinner, washed up and went to bed.

This morning, after breakfast, Old Man Li went out for a stroll with his hands behind his back.

In the pavilion, Old Yuan was talking to Mrs. Song and Mrs. Lin about the happenings in the city.

Mrs. Lin is already eight months pregnant and her belly is very big, but fortunately she can eat and drink well, and everything is fine. She is also very excited to listen to Mrs. Yuan talk about the bustle of the capital city.

Baozhu, who will soon be one year old, can already walk a few steps by herself holding on to the table. She can't let go of her hands, but this girl is restless. If she makes a mistake, she can walk a long way by herself holding on to things, and she will break anything she touches, and her destructive power is amazing. Therefore, Mother Liu dare not be careless at all, and she wishes she could keep a close eye on Baozhu twelve hours a day.

Baozhu is very energetic, but Song is also with her, so they are both very tired.

Shi Liu saw that Baozhu wanted to walk and play and refused to stop. Mother Liu bent over and supported her as she walked, sweating profusely from exhaustion. She also shook her head, saying that taking care of a child was really tiring.

She thought about transferring a few more people back from the farm. Lin was about to give birth again, and there would be one more child to take care of. With more people helping to take care of the child, she would have less worries.

She sat down at the low table, and Xichun brought over red date and bird's nest porridge and a plate of crystal steamed dumplings from the small kitchen.

This is her breakfast.

Everyone else was eating, but Baozhu saw her eating and immediately ran over here waving her short legs and arms.

Shi Liu scooped a spoonful of porridge and fed it to her. As soon as Baozhu opened her mouth, she pulled it back and fed it into her own mouth, which made Baozhu burst into tears again.

Pomegranate burst into laughter.

Song glared at her, "How can you tease a child like this? If you become a mother in the future, my grandson will cry eight or ten times a day."

Old Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Lin were also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Shi Liu was obviously very calm at all times, not like a little girl, but whenever she teased Baozhu, she was like a real child.

Shi Liu curled her lips and scooped another spoonful of porridge. This time she really fed it into Baozhu's mouth. She stopped crying immediately, clapped her hands with joy, and opened her mouth for more.

"I was just teasing Baozhu. Mom, you made me sound like a blind bear. I'm not that scary."

Besides, raising children is so tiring, she won’t have children in the future - slap in the face warning!
Song glared at her, "There's no one as funny as you."

Seeing her scoop another spoonful to feed Baozhu, he hurriedly said, "She just ate a bowl of egg custard. She just can't stand seeing others eating. You just dip the tip of the spoon in a little to fool her."

Shi Liu laughed, "Mother said that I was teasing Baozhu, but you are the one teasing Baozhu, who are you trying to fool?"

Song couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shi Liu quickly changed the subject, "My second brother is about to get married, why hasn't he come home yet?"

"The betrothal gifts have been sent to the Huang family, and the wedding is still half a month away. Didn't you transfer your great uncle to Cong'an County? Your second brother is alone in the shop with a young assistant, and he is the main person in charge. Shouldn't he pay more attention?"

Shi Liu said, "My second brother has been working in that shop for nearly three years. He has already mastered the business. If he was not getting married soon, I would have transferred him to Cong'an County. As a young man, you should go out more often. How can you stay in one place?"

Then he looked at Lin and said, "Brother, it's good to be in the state capital. After you give birth and have a good confinement, I will have someone send you to the state capital after the New Year."

It’s better for young couples to live together.

When Song heard this, she became anxious and said, "Just let your sister-in-law go, and I'll take care of the child at home." She was reluctant to let him go.

"How can the child be separated from his sister-in-law when he needs to be fed? When the time comes, you and dad can take grandpa and grandma to live in the state capital as well! Our big house in the state capital is made with furniture made by dad. You haven't seen it yet, how can you not live there?"

That's true. Song was interested when she heard it.

Old Mrs. Yuan was also quite excited. Since she had returned to the provincial capital, she had seen so much hustle and bustle. The state capital was even bigger, and she didn't know how much more bustling it would be. She had lived for most of her life and was old now. She thought that if she had the chance, she would go and see more, so that she could die with peace of mind!
Mrs. Lin touched her belly and was excited as she listened. She must have done some good deeds in her previous life, which is why she was able to marry into such a good family in this life.

This pregnancy... it would be perfect if I had a son. Although my mother-in-law and others like Baozhu very much, they still want a son to make them feel confident.
