Ordinary happy life

Chapter 173 Happy

When Zhang Dayong heard that Zhang Hongan had passed, he was very excited and directly picked up Zhang Hongan and threw him into the sky a few times to vent his excitement.

After Zhang Dayong and Zhang Hongan found Lin Qin, the three of them were excited again. Zhang Dayong even boldly took the two of them back to the inn and ordered a table of dishes to celebrate Zhang Hongan's successful passing of the government examination and becoming a child student. This table of dishes cost Zhang Dayong three taels of silver, but he didn't feel any distress at all. He was only excited and excited now.

"Father, let's go home after dinner. It costs five taels of silver to stay here for a day. Anyway, it's only one afternoon at noon and we can get to the next county." After the excitement subsided a little, Zhang Hongan said said.

Zhang Dayong knew little about the exam, but before Zhang Hongan wanted to take the child student exam, he had the audacity to ask Zheng Qizhi to learn more about it. He knew that there was one final college exam for the child student exam, so he asked, "Isn't there another college exam? You don't have to take it." Are you there???"

Zhang Hongan shook his head and said, "No, I passed the government examination with my tail hanging low. If I go to take the college examination, I will be rejected 100%. It is better to study hard for a few more years and then take the college entrance examination. "

Didn't you say that if you don't finish the exam, you will have to take it again during the next exam???" Zhang Dayong asked doubtfully.

"If I fail the prefectural exam, I will have to retake the county exam next time. But now that I have passed the prefectural exam and am an official child student, I can directly take the college exam next time. If I also pass the college exam Then I will be a scholar and can exempt my family from taxes on ten acres of land." Zhang Hongan explained.

Zhang Dayong was enlightened when he heard this and said, "So that's it. Let's go back after dinner. Do you want to buy anything in Fucheng?" "

No, I don't need to buy anything. I'll wait until I get back to Luohua Town. I have to go to school first to report the good news to my husband, and the class I am studying in has to be changed to an intermediate class." Zhang Hongan said that the class Zhang Hongan is currently studying

is a junior class that does not have any meritorious students. , the people responsible for teaching them are also scholars, but they are usually gentlemen who have not been admitted to the scholar examination for a long time. Once you have the title of Tongsheng, you can go to the intermediate class. The teachers who teach them are still scholars, but they are older. They usually have passed the Juren Examination once or twice but just failed. If you want to continue the scientific examination after being admitted as a scholar, then you can go to the advanced class, and the teachers will be some senior academicians.

"Okay." Zhang Dayong didn't understand what was going on in the school, so he just had to agree to Zhang Hongan's request.

Zhang Dayong and Zhang Hongan ate more slowly, while Lin Qin finished his meal early and went to pack his luggage. After Zhang Dayong and Zhang Hongan finished eating, the family of three directly packed up their luggage and prepared to return. The innkeeper knew that Zhang Hongan passed the exam and became an official boy student, so he specially gave him a 20% discount, saving several taels of money.

When they arrived, the three of them were in an uneasy mood, not knowing whether they could pass the childbirth examination. However, the three of them were in high spirits on the way back. Zhang Dayong even sang a rare song, which made Zhang Hongan and Lin Qin couldn't help but applaud.

When they went there, they said they had to hurry up a little bit because they were in a hurry. There was no time to worry about on the way back. The three of them went back to enjoy the mountains and rivers, stopping at a small county town from time to time. The journey of three or four days took them six days. After arriving at Luohua Town, Zhang Dayong first sent Zhang Hongan to the school to report the good news.

The teacher who teaches Zhang Hongan did not expect that Zhang Hongan would be so lucky. Originally, he just wanted Zhang Hongan to gain more experience. After all, although Zhang Hongan's homework was solid, his poetry writing ability was really poor. However, he was also very happy that Zhang Hongan could become a child student. He personally took Zhang Hongan to the intermediate class to report. Before leaving, he held Zhang Hongan's hand and warned him for a long time. When they separated, their eyes were red.

After completing all the necessary procedures, Zhang Hongan took the newly issued books to meet Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin who were waiting at the door.

Zhang Dayong took the books from Zhang Hongan and carefully placed them on the oxcart, and then drove to Yu Zhangfang's house. First, he told Zhang Jingcheng the good news that Zhang Hongan had passed the exam, and secondly, he took Zhang Jingcheng back to celebrate with his family in the evening.

After Zhang Dayong arrived at Yu Zhangfang's house with Lin Qin and Zhang Hongan, he learned that Yu Zhangfang had taken Zhang Jingcheng to a restaurant to do the accounting.

"I heard from Jing Cheng that Hong'an went to take the boy's examination. I saw you all smiling. It seems that Hong'an is now a boy." Mrs. Yu saw that Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin were all smiling. He looked happy, and Zhang Dayong had never come to pick up Zhang Jingcheng before his vacation time and said he wanted to go back and stay for one night. After thinking about it, the most likely thing was that Zhang Hongan's child had tried it, so he was ready to pick up Zhang Jingcheng. Jingcheng went back to celebrate.

This is not a shameful thing. Lin Qin said modestly, "Hong An is lucky. He lived by hanging his tail." "

That's great. Hong An is only eleven years old this year. He is your son-in-law back then." I only took the Children's Examination when I was fifteen years old." Mrs. Yu said in shock.

Hearing this, Lin Qin showed a smile that was both gratifying and distressed. He touched Zhang Hongan's head with pity and said, "There was a severe drought when I was pregnant with Hongan. He lacked nutrition when he was in my belly, and later he was born prematurely." His health was always worse than that of other children when he was born. When he was young, his father and I were afraid that he would not be able to feed him. Fortunately, he managed to survive even though he was often sick. This child is sensible and he knows that he wants to rely on him in the future. The body is definitely not good enough to eat, all he can do is study, and only by studying can he have a way out."

Zhang Hongan smiled sweetly at Lin Qin, using his smile to tell Lin Qin that he was not suffering, and that he was very happy now.

Zhang Hongan is different from Zhang Jingcheng. Zhang Jingcheng is strong and strong. Even if he really can't become a bookkeeper, he can still go back to the village to hunt or even go to the fields. But Zhang Hongan can't. He can only make a living by studying. If he can be admitted as a scholar, he may be able to teach in a school in the future, which is relaxing and not tiring.

Mrs. Yu did not expect that Zhang Hongan, who was healthy and healthy, was actually born prematurely and was still frail and sick. The eyes she looked at him became more and more kind. She thought about the age difference between him and her little brother. Is it possible... But soon Mrs. Yu I gave up this idea. It's good that Zhang Hong'an is good at studying, but it's also true that he's not in good health. His little brother is also delicate and weak. Who should take care of whom when they get married.

"Lao Yu said that he would be back after lunch, so please come in and wait a moment." Mrs. Yu greeted with a smile.

Zhang Dayong and the others came to pick up Zhang Jingcheng. Naturally, they couldn't leave without picking up Zhang Jingcheng, so the three of them followed Mrs. Yu to the room where the guests were entertained, where they sat, drank water and rested.

When Zhang Jingcheng came back with Yu Zhang's house check, he was told by Mrs. Yu that Zhang Hongan had become a child student, and that Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin were going to take him back to stay for one night to celebrate together.

Zhang Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, then grinned. It was obvious that he was sincerely happy for Zhang Hongan and had no trace of jealousy that Zhang Hongan had become a child and he was nothing.

Mrs. Yu watched in amazement, thinking that the relationship between the two Zhang brothers was much better than he imagined. Mrs. Yu has seen many cases where her elder brother or younger brother becomes a talented person and another person is changed beyond recognition due to jealousy. There are very few people like the Zhang family who are not jealous at all when Zhang Hongan becomes a talented person and Zhang Jingcheng becomes a talented person.

"Jingcheng, go see your father and dad. I'll give you a day off tomorrow so you can celebrate Hong'an." Accountant Yu said to Zhang Jingcheng.

"Yes, thank you, Master." Zhang Jingcheng shouted happily when he heard that Accountant Yu had given him a day off. He ran to the room to find some guests while thinking about how to celebrate Zhang Hongan.

"Have you prepared your congratulatory gift? We have some relationship with the Zhang family. It's okay if we don't know. Now that we know, we have to send a gift." After Zhang Jingcheng left, Accountant Yu faced Mrs. Yu asked.

Mrs. Yu rolled her eyes at Accountant Yu angrily and said, "I'll be ready when you tell me that the day lilies are all cold. After all, it's Jingcheng, not Hong'an, who has anything to do with the Zhang family, so I'll be ready." Two pieces of fine cotton suitable for Hong'an and a medium set of four treasures of the study."

Regarding Mrs. Yu rolling her eyes at him, Accountant Yu said that he was used to it and didn't take it to heart at all. After listening to Mrs. Yu's story, he nodded and said, "That's almost it. "

Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin were very happy to know that Accountant Yu had given Zhang Jingcheng a day off. Originally, they were worried that Zhang Jingcheng wanted to go back to celebrate with a simple family meal in the evening. But there is no need to rush now. Tomorrow we will set up a good table and invite the Lin family and the Li family to celebrate together.

After the four people came out, they learned that Mrs. Yu had prepared a gift for Zhang Hongan. In the eyes of Mrs. Yu and Accountant Yu, this gift could only be regarded as ordinary, but in the eyes of Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin, it was already a very important gift. . Originally, the two of them didn't want to accept it, but Accountant Yu and Mrs. Yu were so kind that it wouldn't be a good thing if they didn't accept it, so they could only accept it shamelessly, thinking of sending a generous gift to Accountant Yu's family for any happy events in the future. .

After leaving Yu Zhangfang's house, Zhang Dayong suddenly said, "Do you think the Zheng family should inform them???"

Lin Qin was confused for a moment. The Zheng family is their in-laws, so logically they should inform them. After all, Zhang Hongan passed the exam. Childbirth is a big deal. But Zhang Qiong'an wasn't married yet, so he went over to ask her if it wasn't a good idea.

Zhang Jingcheng learned a lot about life and social interactions from Accountant Yu, "Father, Dad, the Zheng family has to say something. After all, the wedding of the eldest brother and brother-in-law is only a few days away, and the Zheng family We are related to each other, so Hong'an has to inform them of such a big happy event. It's just that it would be too fussy for you to inform them, so I'd better inform them. I am the eldest son in the family, but I am also a junior, so I will come to your door. He said there is no problem at all."

"Okay, we will be passing by Zheng's Bookstore soon. Go in and talk to shopkeeper Zheng, and inform them to come to our house for a light meal tomorrow noon if they are free." Although Zhang Dayong felt that Shopkeeper Zheng and his wife will not come, but their attitude must be shown to let the Zheng family know that they treat them as a family.

"Okay." Zhang Jingcheng responded
