C19 (1/2)

Xu Hui knew what his aunt and the rest were thinking, and she hurriedly told them her plan with a smile.

She planned to save money on weaving first. After she had saved enough money, she would ask the Old carpenter in the village to make a loom for her and then teach the Ann's and the others how to weave. This way, when the men worked hard outside, and the women weaved at home, everyone's lives would gradually improve.

The Zhou's was very happy that Xu Hui thought of them like that, but a loom could only be bought at the Jiang Prefecture with sixty to seventy silver taels. It would be even more expensive if it was rare here, so saving up that much money was not an easy task for them right now.

Xu Hui, on the other hand, was optimistic. ”Let's work hard together. We will accumulate more over time. However, I heard that war is coming soon. You all need to pay more attention to your safety!”

Stupid girl, we are the Guest House, and the barbarian would never barge in unless he is stupid. As for you, you should be careful living in the village, right? Right, if we are going to fight, then the price will increase. After Zhou's gave birth to her eldest son, Xu Yu, she had a daughter. Unfortunately, she was not able to raise her, and seeing Xu Hui being so sensible and intelligent, she now treated him as her own daughter.

When Xu Hui was reminded by the Zhou's, she realized that she had to prepare more food. Whether it was during the war or the winter, she needed to be well-prepared.

After talking about himself, Xu Hui asked about her family. She was very worried about her family after leaving for a few days.

The Zhou's smiled as he talked about how he got some medicine from Doctor Du for Xu Jingan. As he ate the medicine, Xu Jingan's body was much better than before.

As for the matter at home, Ann's would always be at Xu Jingan's house, watching over Feng's disease. After getting beaten up by her a few times, he had become more obedient, and after a few days, he would send Feng's disease to Camp to work as a servant. Xu Qiaozhu did not dare to lose his temper anymore, but he was lazy, and not only did he have to be watched by others, he would even have to be taught a lesson.

Ruigol was the most sensible person, and he had also grown up a lot. He would help with the cooking and even feed the chickens.

When Xu Hui thought of the courtyard that had just been surrounded by fences and the chicken nest that had been built, she could not help but smile. Zhou's and Ann's were people who knew how to live a good life.

It was getting late. Zhou's called for everyone to start eating, the men to open up a table, and the women to open up a table.

Although Xu Jingan and Xu Jingyao were not satisfied with Xiao Da Yong's actions, since Qiao Jieer had already married into their family, she would no longer make things difficult for Xiao Da Yong. Xu Jingan had a cold personality and didn't say much, but Xu Jingyao had always come here to talk nice, and always found new topics to talk about when the situation was about to turn cold. Even the nervous Xiao Dazong had been lured over to say a lot of things, so this meal naturally went smoothly and well.

After eating his fill, Xu Hui took out the article that the Xiao Pao had written for her, and showed it to Xu Jingan.

Xu Hui did not care about that. She was only concerned about whether Xiao He would be able to become an Elementary Scholar or not.

Xu Jingan stroked his beard and said: ”If I can relax and do some hard work, and read and write more articles to practice my brush, it's not impossible for me to meet a happy and steady examiner. But I heard that Python County's overseer is from the Yao Family of Qingzhou, the most famous scholar in the entire history of Yao Family.

The counties of the Qi dynasty had county studies, teaching and learning jobs, eight grades, worship of the temple and education of their students. If one wanted to become an Elementary Scholar, they had to first pass the county examination hosted by a county school, and then they had to go through the Regional Academy's examinations and the Academy's final examinations. The overseer's preferences would naturally affect the results of the examinations.

Xu Hui could not help but want to laugh. Xu Jingan had said this out of respect for Xiao Da Yong, but it was actually because his foundation was not solid, and the article was written with no special features. Unless he met an examiner who liked this kind of style, he would not be able to pass the examinations at all.

Xu Hui was relieved. If Xiao He really did become an Elementary Scholar, her days with Xiao Da Yong in the Xiao family would be even worse. Elementary Scholars didn't have to pay taxes or kneel for their food or food. They didn't have to pay much for it, or else they would be called 'poor Elementary Scholars'. However, becoming an Elementary Scholar was different from becoming a child student. After all, he was someone with a great reputation, and with Xiao He's current arrogant look, he would probably need to raise the treatment of Third Son's Family to an unimaginable level. When that time came, he would need to cut off some blood from Xiao Da Yong's body to get money.

After asking about Xiao He's report, they chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they quickly gathered together to send Xu Hui, Xiao Da Yong and the rest off.

Xiao Dazong looked at Xu Hui's reluctant farewell of his family and Niu Niu's basket full of candy bars. She was deeply moved. This was the first time that Xiao Da Yong felt that his family valued him. Not only him, but even Niu Niu felt this kind of passion and love towards him. She, who was usually introverted, not only called out to others on her own accord, but was also very lively and had fun with her daughter-in-law's younger brother.

He suddenly realized that ever since his parents had passed away, he no longer had a home. His current home was the home of his grandparents, uncles, and aunts, and it was not his home at all. Then, where was his home?
