Chapter 80:

There were six people who passed the county test in Qingyuan Academy this time. Except for Xue Tingyan, they were Wang Qi and a student named Li Song.
Looking at the nearby government test, it takes more than a day from Huyang Township to Pingyang Prefecture. Lin Miao decided to bring several students on the road in advance.
It is also more strict than the prefectural test. The two students must be insured, and both students must be present on the day of the exam. Lin Miao is going to find a friend who is familiar with him.
Under such circumstances, Zhaoer can't follow her anymore. It happened that she was busy with her business recently. Xue Tingyan was gone, and she could concentrate on her own affairs.
She packed up Xue Tingyan's suitcase and brought enough silver to send it away.
Before leaving, Xue Tingyan felt a little bit of grief, and he naturally saw Zhao Er's relief relaxed.
"Why don't you go? Ascension is still waiting outside ..." The following words were not said, but she was kissed fiercely by Xue Tingyan against the wall.
Heavy and heavy, she bit her lip before leaving: "Wait for me to come back!"
Then Xue Tingyan walked away without looking back.
It took a long time for Zhaoer to relax, wiped his mouth, and went outside the gate to watch the mule that gradually disappeared at the end of his sight.
A moment of sadness came unexpectedly, as if something was suddenly lost.
But with the effort of turning around, Zhaoer has no time to think about it.
This year, their stalls were bigger than last year. While taking care of Huyang Township and Anyang Township, they went to two new places to develop business. After a year of rearing, the small hill is more fertile than last year, and two crops have been produced.
Of course, pointing to these is certainly not enough, but they are somewhat of their own roots. Now the mountain has changed a lot, and part of it has been divided into vegetable plots, and some places are not suitable for growing vegetables, so they are used to plant fruit trees. Now Aunt Gao and Zhou have worked hard. They are responsible for raising chickens and ducks on the mountain. If they are not suitable for raising pigs, they still want to get a few pigs to raise.
After working for more than ten days, they found this way very easy. Vegetables in the field can be sold for money. Chickens and ducks do n’t need to control. They cut their wings to let them run all over the mountain. There are some insects in the vegetable field. Let them eat. .
The only thing to do is to teach them to return to the nest when it's time, but these little guys are very smart. After being rushed a few times at a fixed time, they all know that they have gone back.
At the other end, Zhao'er's ready-to-wear business has finally begun.
Last year, I planned for more than half a year. While I was delivering food everywhere, I was asking where there was a cheap cloth source. Finally, two were ordered, and Zhaoer first got a batch of cloths and tried to make them first.
The woman in charge of making clothes has already said that, recruiting Gao Sheng to build a few more houses on the hilltop, specially invited people to do it, which is equivalent to setting up a small workshop.
The wages are calculated according to the number of pieces. Some fast-moving women can do four or five sets a day, which is more than 20 articles, which is equivalent to the wages of an adult laborer who goes out to do odd jobs, and does not delay the housework to serve the elderly.
Don't think about this kind of work, it's mostly people who are rushing to do it, but Zhaoer has never liked to be in the limelight, and only found a few women who have done her work before.
When the first batch of clothes was made, Zhaoer personally took it out and sold it.
The business was unexpectedly good, and it was also a long time since I had been selling clothes. She has a broad mind and can choose fabrics, but she is not greedy. She chooses three suits for men's clothes and more suits for women's clothes. She chooses to do something according to her age.
For example, daughters like delicate colors and make new styles that are suitable for their age; for older women, they are suitable for relatively calm colors and styles. As for the old women who wore them, they did not do it. Once they came to this age, women were not so lovable, and they were also more frugal.
Not only that, she also brought a lot of baubles, bead flowers, and rouge gouache while selling clothes. This idea was given to her by Xue Qinghuai. This is his old business background. He knows the number of roads in it, and there are also cheap supplies. The ready-made business does not do nothing.
Men are just fine. When the girls ’women come to buy clothes, they will inevitably buy a few of them. It seems that one can't make much money, but it can't hold much. After doing it a few times, it was not worse than selling clothes. Zhaoer moved more thoughts and discussed with Xue Qinghuai and added a lot of samples.
Nowadays, a mule car selling clothes is almost equivalent to a mobile small stall. Especially last winter, Zhaoer asked a carpenter to order a few cars. There is a car wall that can be put down. Now that the side of the car wall is horizontal, it can take care of the sale of small things on it, which is a precedent for picking the goods.
Finally, after waiting for everything to get on track, Zhao Er, who was so busy and dizzy, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Xue Tingyan in Fucheng should start the exam soon.
Lin Miao and others are still late.
The government has tried two tests for three years, but it was empty last year. There are more people participating in the test this year than in previous years. When they arrived, they had no place to find a few inns. In the end, I could only find a simple inn far away from the examination room.
Even this kind of inn has only the last few vacancies left, and there are many students who come to the inn to take the exam. They arrived at noon, and when they passed the lobby, they saw many students drinking at the same table and talking.
After settling down, Lin Miao went out.
He didn't come back until it was dark outside. Looking at his look, he seemed to be in a bad mood. Xue Tingyan guessed that he was mad at going out.
The next day, Lin Miao went out again and did not return until the afternoon.
It can be clearly seen that there is a certain amount of joy on his face, and he said to Xue Tingyan and others that he had found a student who was willing to give a guarantee to several people.
Lin Miao did get a lot of anger this time when he went out. He thought that he had a good relationship with him. After he submitted the worship post, he didn't even show his face, so he let the next person pass him. He changed his house and went again. Although the other party saw him, he did not want to help him easily.
After all, it is prudent to guard against this matter, and I am afraid that something wrong will involve myself.
Lin Miao is also aware of these things. That is why he will seek out his friends who think he has some friendships. He feels that he has his own guarantee, and other people will believe that he is.
He didn't know that after he left, he was found by those people, and he laughed that he had been in the country for a long time, and he didn't even understand the rules.
This rule is naturally the rule before the start of the government test, and it is also the rule for students who take the test to look for students as a guarantee.
Lin Miao used to study at Beilu Academy, but he didn't lack a guarantor. And in the country, as long as his character is upright and he finds him as a guarantee, he never collects any property, and he can help and help. Where can I know that this time of year is when all the people in Pingyang Prefecture make a lot of money.
The county tried a test and guaranteed at least one to give two or two hard money, even if this is in short supply. There are few students in a county, and Lin Miao is not unreasonable every time the county tries so busy. Although he is meticulous, he always speaks well, but he does not need money to make insurance. Not all come to him.
The government test, which is equivalent to the county test, is a higher grade. Lin Sheng gives people a guarantee and must at least seal a reward of not less than 52 yuan. Lin Miao brought six students, and he didn't want to pay a penny, and he didn't blame others for waiting to see him.
But the truth is that Xue Tingyan is clear. First, it was because of the dream, and secondly, every time Xue Qingshan went to the exam, he used various clever names to control the family to ask for money. The head of evil in the mouth.
For the old village women like Zhao, those who lived for a while were just dying and asking for money.
Xue Tingyan asked where Lin Miao had found someone to protect them. He was afraid that Lin Miao would take out the money and look for them.
After hearing this, Lin Miao was ashamed. He also listened to the friend whose surname was Tian before he knew why he was turned away.
Before Lin Miao went out in the morning and found two other students who had had a few connections with him, the situation was similar to before. When I went out, I met a poorly dressed middle-aged scribe, and I looked for the door to ask for security. When I asked them, they were both running around for the school's middle school students. I will protect your students.
The two had a great conversation, so they found a place to drink tea for dinner. Lin Miao learned the doorway from Tian Xiucai's mouth. Just like Lin Miao, Tian Xiucai couldn't do the kind of clever face that wanted to be silver, plus the countryside where they lived was not rich, so he would be poor.
And Tian Xiucai took his three middle school students to live in an inn not far away, not far from here.
If you don't mention it, Lin Miao took Xue Tingyan and others to the government office to apply for the exam the next day, just like the county test, so I don't need to list it here.
After that, a few people calmed down and studied hard, which was considered a temporary support before the test.
Zhaoer came down from Houshan and went back to the village. He walked all the way through Xue's land and saw a large piece of wheat seedlings green and green. It looked gratifying, but there was a field of seedlings that looked wrong from afar.
She looked really closely, it was really wrong. If the wheat seedlings in other places are lush and full of vitality, the seedlings in that area seem to be short of water and neglected to take care of, obviously they are not well grown.
This piece of land was assigned to Xue Qingshan by the Xue family.
After that incident, Xue Qingshan was pushed out of the Xue family.
No matter what bad things he did, he was his own son. He had no control over him, and the village school couldn't drive anymore. He couldn't starve him to death.
Grandpa Xue hesitated for a few days, called the third and fourth, and also called Xue Tingyan, saying that the land of his family was divided into two acres of Xue Qingshan.
Xue Qingbai and Xue Qinghuai didn't say anything. What can they say as sons and brothers, even if they don't want to, the old man will not listen to them. Knowing that there will be contradictions, I called them to come. It wasn't obvious that I was pretending to be like that. I mainly looked at Xue Tingyan.
The meaning of Grandpa Xue is exactly the same, but it is more obscure, plus there is Zhao who is scolding and crying beside him.
Xue Tingyan knew that Mingming didn't make a sound, only that everything looked at Grandpa's.
Grandpa Xue nodded happily. The next day, he selected two acres from his land and gave it to Xue Qingshan, so that he could plant the land and take the responsibility of supporting his family.
As for the big house, he didn't move, it was left to Xue Juncai and Xue Youcai brothers. In fact, the old man is clearly showing that the other three rooms are losing money. According to the original statement, he and Zhao's land planted them first, and after a hundred years, several rooms were divided equally. Now, for the deprived person to go two acres less, equal to the other three houses deserve less land and white.
But now two, three, and four bedrooms have their own livelihoods, and no one cares about this matter with him. He will do whatever he wants.
This is how things are settled.
Since the spring of this year, Xue Qinghuai was negotiating to give the land to tenants. Now that the business is so busy, he has no time to plant land.
As he opened his mouth, the three rooms also murmured to try to get out of the land. Originally, according to Xue Qingbai's character, brother, tenants, he came over, and he was assured of his own family.
But since last year, he went to Xiaotou to help with his work, and his mind is limited. Today, both of them are helping to work in Xiaotou. Xue Qinghuai has worked for one or two a month, and Zhou has also paid 500 yuan for the work. The sum of the couple's monthly income is one or two halves, and one year is nearly twenty-two.
You can earn less than twenty-two in a year of planting. With tax deductibles or something, you can only earn a few silver a year. Although the two were quiet, they also worked hard and sincerely. After taking the silver, they had to do the job well. Xue Qingbai spent most of his time on the hill.
Silently settled the account in his heart, Zhou decided to also take out the land, and when he paid taxes every year in that land, he only paid a ration, and earning money also earned from this side. Three rooms and four rooms are all tenancy, and two rooms naturally needless to say, even if their land was tenanted to three rooms and four rooms, they are now naturally tenanted together.
When the matter came out, Mr. Xue had been unhappy for a long time, but he could not grow alone, and he could only watch the Sanfang out of the land.
At that time, this matter caused a lot of discussion in the village. They all said that the Xue family had done so much, how to get all the land out. Only a few people knew what they were doing. When they saw Xue's fourth son and Erfang's Zhaoer driving a few kids in the village in and out of the car, they knew that their business was quite profitable.
Since all the land was sold out, the business was definitely more profitable than farming. For a time, the villagers envyed countless countless people, but there was Xue Patriarch's head, and there was Xue Ting'an, where others dared not say anything.
So now the Xue family's land, except for the reserved land of Master Xue, only the two acres planted by Xue Qingshan.
It can be seen that the land where the tenants went out was well served, and the tenants carefully took care of it, and the main family could also order more food when the harvest was completed. But Xue Qingshan's land was a little too buried. Which Zhuanghu people would be so arrogant that such a land would be killed.
Zhaoer wondered if Master Xue knew this, but what was his reaction.
After going back, she hesitated whether to say it or not. Without knowing the other end, Grandpa Xue had long known this, and went to Xue Qingshan twice angrily.
First of all, he said bitterly and scolded. Xue Qingshan just nodded as he should, and what should happen afterwards.
No, the seedlings in the ground were yellowing, and it was clearly that there was no watering and fertilization, and the weeds were not removed. The old man Xue found the house of the widow Xue again.
Without knowing how many hits, Xue Qingshan fainted.
This scared Father Xue, and ran back on the spot to prepare the third son to ask the doctor.
Xue Qingbai was not at home, Zhao was overwhelmed when he heard that, he knew that Zhao'er was at home, so he found Zhao'er. Zhaoer had a quick journey and went up the mountain to find Xue Qingbai. The other grandfather Xue and Zhao hurried to the widow's house.
When Zhaoer and Xue Qingbai brought the doctor, they heard that Widow Xue was crying to the old couple, saying that her family had a hard time. She could n’t even eat an egg with her body, and Xue Qingshan could n’t grow the land. Sleep backwards.
Zhao's tears wiped her tears, and she and the women did not understand the truth, only knew that the eldest son had suffered. The old man who has been in pain for so many years, can't bear to see him like this.
Xue Qingbai took the doctor in, and Zhaoer followed. I saw a mess in a small room. There was a person lying on the soil kang, looking a bit pale, and the person seemed to be a lot thinner than before.
But Keer didn't sympathize with him at all.
Because it was urgent, he had no time to go to the town. Xue Qingbai found a doctor from the neighboring village to see. This doctor has limited medical skills, and he can't see anything. He only said that the shortfall is too much and needs good health and rehabilitation. At this time, Xue Qingshan also woke up, and howled when she saw Zhao, a big man, mother and son cried, I didn't know what to think.
Don't look at Mr. Xue's panic just now, but he can't panic at this moment. He said a few words with a straight face and turned away.
Zhaoer and Xue Qingbai also left. On the way back, after the two looked at each other, Xue Qingbai looked a little sighed. Zhaoer said frankly: "I don't think he is pretending."
"Brother, he ..." Xue Qingbai stopped talking, he wasn't a person who liked Taoist length, especially knowing Xue Qingshan and Erfang's grievances, he was afraid that Zhao'er would feel uncomfortable.
In fact, Xue Qingshan was really pretending. When the Zhao family left, only two of him and Widow Xue were left in the room. He sat up from Kang all at once and smiled proudly at Widow Xue: "You look at it Soon my father and mother will take me back. "
Widow Xue smiled, and there was a trace of contempt in her eyes when she twisted her face.
"Is there anything else I can eat at home? I am hungry, go and make it for me."
When he turned around, Widow Xue was frowning and said: "There is only a bowl of rice left, so I will do it."
The widow Xue went out, and Xue Qingshan was lying on the kang. When she thought about how long it would take before she could wear a coat and reach for her mouth to open her mouth, she couldn't help but get a bit better.
I really can't blame him for his decentness, but he really turned his face to the loess and his back to the sky.
Thinking, he scratched his crotch.
After scratching twice, he didn't feel itchy, and he scratched a few more times, and finally stretched his hand inside to scratch.
After scratching for a while, I felt something was wrong and took off my belt to see it.
Suddenly, he saw a few small red bumps on his head.
