On the way home, the atmosphere in the car was not as urgent as before. Wang Sheng took into account that Wang Yi was not on the list and changed the subject when Wang Yi asked about the specific content.
Wang Sheng got off the carriage and had just said goodbye to the other five people. When he turned around, he found that his whole family was standing at the entrance of the village waiting. Wang Wenqiu did not go to farm. He lowered his head and talked to Liu Zhaoxing. When he saw Wang Sheng coming down Car, raise your head.
"Sheng'er!"
"Brother!"
After three years, Wang Jingjing changed from a small Fuwa to a big Fuwa, walking less eagerly , but this is just a subjective feeling. Although the steps are small, the frequency is fast. He ran to Wang Sheng with a bang, "Brother! Did you hit it?"
Wang Yi heard this sentence from behind. Originally, Wang Jingjing took the step to go home.
"That is, who is Brother Sheng!"
He raised his head, put his left hand on Wang Sheng's shoulder, and patted him.
Wang Jingjing immediately felt relieved, "Brother Wang Yi, you must be on the list too!"
When Wang Yi heard this, he felt excited and immediately took over. , said: "Guess, where am I?"
"Tenth?"
"No."
Wang Yi shook his head, Sighing, "I think it might be the smoke coming out of our ancestral graves that made me pass the exam at the bottom of the list."
Wang Jingjing's eyes suddenly widened and she said "Wow", "Brother Wang Ye, you That's amazing! This is obviously your own hard work, how can you say it's a fluke?"
Wang Yi's pretending to be depressed immediately broke out into a smile, "Yes, yes, I feel very lucky too. "Thank you, I haven't caught crickets for more than a year."
Wang Sheng interjected, "I didn't catch crickets, so I focused on training your chickens to become fighting cocks."
"Isn't it boring to study and have nothing to do."
After Wang Yi said this, he immediately said: "Brother Sheng, this summer, you and I must secretly abandon me. Brother, let's go to Shizi River to have some fun and catch some crickets along the way."
"I think it's fake to go swimming in the river, but it's real to ask me to catch crickets for you." < /p>
Wang Sheng smiled helplessly and slapped Wang Ye's hand away, pretending to be disgusted.
"I heard everything. You are not allowed to go anywhere this summer."
Wang Yan's voice suddenly sounded from behind, which really frightened Wang Yi.
Just after walking for a short distance, Wang Yan heard a sound coming towards him. When Wang Yan turned his head, his big brother disappeared and he went back the same way to find him.
"Brother!"
Wang Yan shouted, but Wang Yan ignored him and said goodbye to the Wang Sheng brothers and sisters. He carried his younger brother and walked back without caring about his younger brother. The voice begged.
When Wang Sheng saw this scene, his lips twitched unconsciously.rising.
Wang Wenqiu and Liu Zhaoxing watched their classmates disperse before stepping forward.
"Sheng'er, the place where the rankings are posted must be crowded. You are not injured, right?"
Liu Zhaoxing stepped forward and looked at it from top to bottom, left to right.
"It's okay, mother. It's Uncle Canhui's list. Brother Yan and I went to the inn to drink tea and wait."
"It's okay, it's okay. It'll be delivered tomorrow. I'll give you some vegetables and eggs for Uncle Canhui. It's not in vain for him to help you read the list."
"Okay."
Even if Liu Zhaoxing doesn't mention this, Wang Sheng still wants to come back. The family suggested that the two of them wanted to go to the same place.
/p>
"Yes, Dad, Mom, let's go back and talk."
Hearing Wang Sheng's affirmative reply, the tense atmosphere in the family disappeared, leaving only infinite joy.

"Okay, okay."
Wang Wenqiu said three good words in a row.
"After a while, I must offer incense sticks to the two grandfathers."
Wang Sheng also smiled and nodded in agreement.
Liu Zhaoxing said from the side: "Let's go back quickly. I cooked the lunch and put it on the stove. It's probably still hot now."
Wang Sheng also agreed and went back to use it. After lunch, I went back to the house to pick up my books and continue studying.
Waiting for dinner in the evening, no one asked him where he ranked in the county examination. He curiously asked at the table: "Aren't you all curious about my ranking?"
Wang Wenqiu He said bluntly: "As long as you pass the exam, if you are willing to tell us, you will tell us."
He thought to himself all night, as long as he passes the exam. After all, if my son wins this list, he will be able to make a living by running a business in the town without having to rely on any connections. He will no longer have to work hard in the fields.
Besides, my son has become extremely calm after the incident five years ago. If I don’t tell him, it may be because his grades are not satisfactory. Why should a parent do such a thing that hurts the heart? thing.
"I won the first prize and am the chief criminal in our county."
"What!"
"Brother?"
< p> "Sheng'er!"Now, except for Wang Sheng, the rest of the family couldn't eat.
Wang Sheng took a mouthful of rice, looked up, and saw that he was the only one working diligently on the meal. He wondered: "I am willing to say that there is nothing to say. It's just that after going home for lunch, you all went about your business. "That's why I didn't say anything."
He thought that he could never drag others around and say that he got first place in the exam, so he might as well wait until dinner.
Wang Wenqiu stood up immediately and saidHe said, "I'm going to burn incense for your grandfather."
After Wang Yangxing's tablet was transferred, he invited it to his home, on the other side of the main hall.
I saw him go outside to clean the oil stains on his face and the dirt on his hands. When he came back, he found three incense sticks from another place, "stung" them, lit the match, lit the incense, and solemnly said this Share things with your ancestors in heaven.
After finishing this, Wang Wenqiu had just sat down, and Liu Zhaoxing also said: "When Sheng'er finishes the college examination, let's go to Qingchiyan as a family to fulfill our wishes."
Wang Sheng did not refute them. Although he firmly believed in materialism, in this era, it was too harsh on them to be materialistic with his parents, so he might as well seek some psychological comfort.
The next day, everyone heard the news and came to Wang Sheng's house to express their congratulations, bringing seasonal vegetables or their own fruits. He thanked them one by one and returned all these things.
It’s not easy for everyone in this era. He accepted gifts from others at this time, and maybe some people’s homes were missing a dish.
For folks in the countryside, everyone sees others giving gifts, but I feel embarrassed not to give them, so I grit my teeth and give them. Once this trend is formed, it is difficult to change, so it is better to go back at the beginning.
After learning about this matter, Wang Sheng was confused about whether he should use his remaining savings to go to a private school in the town for a month to replenish his knowledge of policy theory and poetry. He made a decision, and village chief Wang Yangkai suddenly came to Wang Sheng's house alone.
"Sheng'er, come here."
Wang Yangkai sat in his seat, took out two taels of silver from his arms and put it on the table, "This is your county case. The reward from the clan."
Wang Sheng waved his hand quickly, "Grandpa, the fifty cents per month Shu Xiu has received from the clan, I can never accept it." < /p>
"It's okay, just accept it. This is the rule your cousin made when he said he wanted to set up a clan school. As long as someone can get first place in the imperial examination, he can get these two taels. In addition, Everyone on the list gets five hundred coins, not only you, but also my two useless grandsons."
Wang Yangkai explained, revealing another crucial piece of news.
"The clan has decided to invite another master to be the teacher of Meng Xue. You can come to the clan academy next. After Qingyun and I have discussed it, I still want to discuss policy theory and poetry with you. "Some matters regarding the government examination and the college examination."
"A great favor from the Wang family! A great favor from my uncle!"
Wang Sheng sighed sincerely and made up his mind not to forget this in the future. favor.
"Whether our Wang family can get out of this Qinghe Town depends on you, the younger generation. Don't be arrogant and complacent because of this result. Only by being diligent and studious can you get to the top."
Wang Yangkai encouraged Wang Sheng a few more words, then turned and left.
