Chapter 556 Problems with Recommendation Letters
"Don't worry, it's only two acres of land, and it will be easy to send it to the city and give it to Ye Bai and the others to do it themselves. What's in the village will be done in the village. Our main house is also well managed these days and won't leak it. .”

Zhao Jian understood Ding Shitou's thoughts and comforted her.

"Well, there is still more than half a year to go. Maybe there will be a new situation at that time. If it doesn't work, just do as you said." Ding Shitou nodded.

A year ago, she would not have thought of the current situation, so don't worry too much about what will happen half a year later, the road is made by people!
During the Lantern Festival, everyone did not go to the city to see lanterns, but bought beautiful flower paper to tie lanterns by themselves. The lamp bones were made by Mr. Li Qi with bamboo strips, and some were tied with thin bamboo branches.

But in the end, it was Ding Shitou's hand who made the different and beautiful shapes. A group of teenagers and children gathered around and watched in amazement.

Ding Shitou taught the teenagers how to make lanterns, and the elementary school children got a little lantern and went back happily.

In the end, Ding Shitou had an idea, and made a small orange lantern with the remaining orange peel, which made everyone sigh for a while.

The small orange lamp is originally made of small objects in life. It can be said that it costs nothing, and it can be regarded as waste utilization, but it has unique ingenuity.

But no matter what kind of lights it is, on this Lantern Festival night, apart from the eaves lights lit in front of every house, the most beautiful scenery is the small lanterns flowing around on the village road.

The small lanterns are not as big as those sold outside, but they have different shapes, and they have a special flavor when held in the hands of children.

Ding Shitou also taught Zhao Jian how to make lanterns, and told him what shapes look good.

Because Zhao Jian couldn't see it, she didn't go to the city to watch the lanterns, but let him feel the fun of the lanterns in this way.

And Zhao Jian's accumulated disappointment during the Chinese New Year also gradually restored a bright smile in her silent and considerate.

After the Lantern Festival, it is the day of school opening. In the early morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the elementary school children who had gone for winter vacation all wore new clothes, and walked on the village road full of energy and vitality with small bookcases on their backs.

However, compared to the elementary school children, the teenagers in the returning class are hesitant to speak.

It's a new year, not just the beginning of a new school year, but the beginning of this year's imperial examination.

February and April are the county and government exams in the Tongsheng Examination.

At the beginning of this examination, there must be recommendations from the place of household registration, such as recommendation posts from village chiefs, and recommendation letters from scholars and above.

Naturally, there is no problem in the villages, but now there is still the problem of recommendation letters for scholars.

Everyone knows that only the Xia family of Jiangxia village has a scholar in ten miles and eight villages. In previous years, it was an old scholar who wrote the recommendation letter, and in previous years, only Jiangxia village school had someone qualified to refer.

Also in previous years, there were no more than ten people who really referred to it, and almost none of them could pass the exam, except for the old scholar's own son.

So reading is actually a monopoly in these ten miles and eight villages.

Either you don’t read it, or if you want to read it, you have to submit a high-quality Shu Xiu to the Jiangxia Village School. Whether you can pass the exam depends on your own ability, but the old scholar never embarrasses his students in the recommendation letter.

But this year is different. Jiujiu School has gained a good reputation in Shilibacun, but it sends students to take exams...

Ding Shitou promised last year that she would take care of the recommendation letter, but after the next year it will be time to sign up for reference one after another, so everyone is inevitably a little nervous.

"Now you have to put all your thoughts on the two issues of studying for exams and protecting your health. The rest are not things you should worry about."

Ding Shitou was busy at the beginning of school, Zhao Jian was only in charge of leading the returning class, Ding Shitou led the enlightenment class, but she was still in charge of the whole team at the beginning of school, so she soon discovered that the teenagers were hesitant to talk.
