Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 78

"Hurry up, the eldest brother and the second brother are here!" Su Qinghe's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw the two teenagers in blue cloth clothes among a group of students coming down from the examination room, and hurriedly pushed Su Jingsen and said.

Su Jingsen hurriedly put down the tea cup: "Where is where?"

"Over there, big brother! Second brother!" Su Qinghe shouted loudly while pointing, Su Jingsen hurriedly pulled her: "Don't shout, you are a girl, pay attention, what does this yelling look like? Come, let me come!"

As he spoke, he leaned over to the window and shouted, "Zhiping! Zhian! This way!"

After shouting several times, Su Zhiping and Su Zhi'an finally heard them, looked up, waved their hands hastily as a signal, and then the two brothers squeezed through the crowd and came towards the teahouse.After entering the private room, he poured two cups of tea in a row, and then wiped his mouth: "Father, little sister, why are you two here?"

"Your mother and I are waiting impatiently for your children's exam. Anyway, we are going to come out today, so we just waited here. How about it? Are you two sure?" Su Jingsen asked hastily, and Su Zhiping nodded. : "It's okay, it's not too difficult."

Su Zhian also squeezed the snacks on the table to eat: "Well, they are all things taught by the master, and they are not too difficult."

The two of them have studied in the school for four years, if they can't even pass a small child's entrance examination, then they have lived for so many years in vain.

"That's good, that's good, are you hungry? Have some snacks first, and let's go to a restaurant to eat later." Su Jingsen reached out and patted the shoulders of the two sons and said, "Are you hungry or tired? How are you? ? Is there any discomfort?"

"Father, it's only been three days. The weather is just right. It's neither hot nor cold. We've brought enough food. It's fine." Su Zhiping said with a smile, and took a piece of snacks to eat. After eating, he asked: "Mother is waiting at home, right? Let's go back later?"

"No rush, go eat first, and go back when you're full." Su Jingsen said, seeing that her two sons had almost finished their snacks, she hurriedly got up, took her own ox cart outside, and greeted Su Zhiping Su Zhian went up, and Su Qinghe obediently followed behind.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Su Jingsen ordered more than ten dishes at one go, and kept asking Su Zhiping and Su Zhian to eat.The two of them were really tired.At noon before, because I thought I would come out in the afternoon, and the dry food I brought was hard, so the two of them didn't really want to eat. They only ate two or three bites. By now, they were so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs up.

The two gobbled it up, Su Qinghe hurriedly asked Xiao Er to bring another portion of fish soup, filled the soup for all three of them with sleeves wrapped around her sleeves, and then sat down slowly: "Elder brother, second brother, eat slowly, be careful of choking." gone."

There is something in the stomach, the two of them stopped eating so fast, slowed down, drank half a bowl of soup first, and then turned their heads and smiled: "Little sister misses big brother these days?"

Su Qinghe curled her lips: "It's only been three days, don't tell me you haven't seen him for more than ten days. You should hurry up and eat, I'm afraid mother will have to wait at home."

Su Zhian sighed: "Oh, my little sister is becoming more and more difficult to serve. I just said that I want to eat slowly, but now I want to eat faster, little sister, should I slow down or hurry up? You can give me an accurate answer." what."

Su Qinghe laughed, and patted him on the arm twice: "Come on, don't talk about the lawsuit, I still have something to do, this year's corn is almost almost done, when passing by the town, I have to ask shopkeeper Yang if he wants more gone."

Three years ago, his family sold corn seeds to people in the village.Nowadays, the entire Hongqiao County is afraid that corn is planted. This year's tender corn is definitely not as profitable as the previous year, and it may be cheaper than last year.

However, selling tender corn is more profitable than cornmeal. If you can sell some, you still have to sell some quickly.Shopkeeper Yang is used to doing business with her family, so there is no need to worry that Shopkeeper Yang is too low on the price.

"If you want me to say, it's fine if we don't sell our corn. We can eat some at home, and the rest will be cooked and made into noodles." Su Zhiping said with a smile: "Nowadays, our family is not short of that money, my little sister doesn't need it." So tiring."

"Why is there no shortage? If you two have passed the childbirth test, there will be plenty of room to spend money." Su Qinghe curled her lips, and didn't want to talk about these things in the restaurant, so she hurriedly picked up food for Su Zhiping and Su Zhian: "Hurry up and eat, we can go back after eating."

She was worried about her two elder brothers before, for fear that they entered the examination room vertically, but ended up exiting horizontally.As a result, the physical fitness of these two people was underestimated.The year before last, the two began to learn riding and archery.

Later, the family specially bought a horse, and the two of them rode to school by themselves every day, and punched for a while when they got home. Their health was extremely good, even if they really did not eat or drink for three days, they could still stand upright.

For their riding and archery lessons, Su Qinghe was still very surprised, but he didn't expect that a gentleman in the town also had such insight, saying that a gentleman must master the six arts, otherwise, he will become a high-ranking official in the future, because of etiquette and so on. It would be embarrassing for people to criticize.

Although Su Zhiping and Su Zhian have only been studying for two years, they are somewhat decent now.Although he is not comparable to the children of the big family, he is considered one of the best talents in the town.

This person can't just study, otherwise he will become a dead reader.An excellent student must have temperament.

After the two brothers finished their meal, it was getting dark outside.Su Jingsen hurriedly pushed the three brothers and sisters into the car: "Hurry up, in one hour, the city gate will be closed, we have to leave the city first."

Su Qinghe also hesitated: "Father, why don't we just go home, anyway, we didn't make an appointment with shopkeeper Yang before, and it's getting late now, if we go to shopkeeper Yang, maybe the shop is closed already."

"Well, that's fine. I'm afraid your mother will be waiting impatiently. Let's go home first." Su Jingsen nodded in agreement, and drove the bullock cart forward with a whip.When they got home, they saw Mrs. Su Zhang standing at the door looking around. Su Zhiping and Su Zhian hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Su: "Mother, it's getting cold tonight, why don't you add another coat?"

Su Zhangshi pinched the cheeks of Su Zhiping and Su Zhian with a smile: "Mother is not cold, go in quickly, there is a cold wind blowing along the way, hot soup is warming on my stove, you two go take a bath first, we will talk later .”

When Su Zhang said this, Su Zhiping and Su Zhian immediately felt that they were about to stink.Although the weather is not too hot, the temperature is not low. The room in the examination room is small and airtight, and there are so many people, it can be regarded as sweating.

The two quickly agreed, went to the kitchen to fetch water, and then moved the tub to take a shower.Now, the two brothers have already slept in separate rooms, so no one is in the way of the other.

Mrs. Su Zhang grabbed Su Jingsen and asked about the situation, Su Jingsen comforted with a smile: "Don't worry too much, I see our son is clear, one or two are safe, and they must be able to pass this childbirth test. "

The county magistrate was transferred the year before last, and a new county magistrate came in. This new county magistrate is an upright official. Thinking about it, he would not make any crooked tricks on the imperial examination.He is still very confident in the knowledge of his sons.

Su Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the kitchen to make supper.Su Jingsen muttered to the side, the two boys ate more than a dozen taels of silver in the restaurant, they were not hungry, and muttered that Su Zhang only saw his sons, and didn't even think that he was blowing cold wind too.

What Su Zhang said was angry and funny, so he pushed him out of the kitchen.

Su Jingsen squatted at the door of the kitchen and sighed, Su Qinghe leaned over and smiled: "Father, mother hasn't seen elder brother and second brother for three days, you are not ashamed, you are still jealous with elder brother and second brother at such an old age."

"Children, what are you thinking about? Dad is thinking about something." Su Jingsen blushed, luckily no one could tell it was so late at night.Coughed, and said slowly: "Do you think this year's cotton should be sent to the capital?"

After the Su family planted cotton three years ago, Mr. Shen said that as long as the Su family planted cotton in the future, they would just send it to the capital.The money over there was also straightforward, and besides, the cotton seeds were originally given by Mr. Shen, so the Su family agreed.

As for shopkeeper Yang, with so many cotton seeds, others can grow cotton too.What's more, Hongqiao County is so big, within three or two years, shopkeeper Yang has made a lot of money from this cotton.

It's just that Mr. Shen has been asking for cotton for three years, and it's not for food. It's not a problem to wear cotton clothes and quilts for two or three years. So, will you give it away this year?
Su Qinghe was also a little hesitant: "Why don't you ask Brother Song first?"

Song Haoming is going to take the Juren examination next year, because the Juren examination is held in spring, also known as Chunwei, so Song Haoming has to go to the capital this year, to communicate with students from all over the world, and get acquainted , it's best to get a confidant or two, and secondly, to be familiar with the environment, so don't come to the examination room to be uncomfortable.

"Yeah, that's fine." Su Jingsen replied after thinking for a while, then changed the subject with a smile: "Didn't Mr. Shen give someone a few bumps before? What are those things? Do you remember growing them like this? "

Mentioning this, Su Qinghe immediately regained her spirits. This is a must-have weapon in the farming and cross-cultural novel—the potato finally appeared.Mr. Shen is really a man of his word, bringing new seeds every year.

The year before last was peppers, last year it was tomatoes, and this year it's potatoes.

"Father, I haven't figured out what to plant yet. Don't worry. Master Shen only brought a few. I have to think about it carefully. Don't waste it." Su Qinghe said with a smile, and Su Jingsen nodded: "You You have to think about it, it's getting late, you should go to sleep quickly."

Su Qinghe originally planned to talk to her two older brothers, but after waiting for a long time, those two brothers opened the door and shouted, saying that they were too sleepy to go to bed and that they were not hungry, so they told Su Zhang not to work too hard.

So, Su Qinghe had no choice but to wash up and go to bed.Anyway, there is no hurry, what should be said is almost the same, and the rest can be said tomorrow.Now that the children's exam is over, the two elder brothers can just wait for the news at home, and they don't have to go to school, so they don't have time to talk.

Well, tomorrow is the day when Su Qinglan comes back, let's go and have a look in the afternoon, the little stepmother is not likable, but the son of the little stepmother—Su Zhichuan is quite likable, I will bring some snacks for the little guy tomorrow .
