Liao Qing also expressed his gratitude.

Although he has already read it, and this manuscript contains only a few thin pages and does not require much effort, it is still someone's intention.

In this era, gifting books is something that gentle people do. Books are generally very expensive and cannot be bought. Most of them are copied by hand. If a book has too many words, it will take half a month or even several years to copy it out. Like this

A collection of the Book of Songs also takes half a day's work.

Xu Youde said happily, "Yes, yes, a family should be like a family. It is a good thing to be harmonious and help each other. Boss, you are the first in your family to be admitted as a scholar. Within your ability, can you help me?"

Brother-in-law and nephew are what you should do."

Xu Darong said, "I don't need to mention it to my father. This is what I should do. I didn't expect my children to go to school before because I was afraid that they would not be suitable for this path, like Saburo and Goro. This was a clear waste of the family's money. But there was no such thing.

It’s a different matter to think that Xiaosi is so smart and suitable for taking this path. The money is small, but the future is big, so I, the uncle, am also happy. We are all from Lao Xu’s family, with the same ancestor and the same surname.

Yes, I, Xu Darong, took this path first, and I will never hide the experience I gained from it. I previously took this path of study alone, without anyone’s guidance, and took many detours. Naturally, I will not let Xiao Darong do it again.

Fourth, let Liao Qing take my detour again. Our old Xu family now has three children and one scholar, which is a sign that our family is prosperous. This is all my father's blessing!"

Xu Youde felt happy after hearing this.

He loved hearing this.

He said repeatedly, "Boss, you are sensible and worthy of being a scholar. You have great wisdom and a high vision. Yes, yes."

Mrs. Xu Zhang rolled her eyes towards the roof again.

When the father and son blow each other's horns, it can make people's skin crawl.

"Okay, tell me what happened to you two when you came home! Isn't Dalang preparing for the exam? Why are you back here so soon?"

Seeing Xu Zhang's question, Da Lang quickly stood up and answered, "Nai, I'm almost ready for the exam now. Everyone in our Confucius School is talking about my uncle Liao Qing taking the first place in the exam this year, so I said

Liao Qing is my uncle. Then, the master praised my uncle for being a great talent and extraordinary, and asked me to come back and learn from my uncle. I told my father and we came back."

Xu Youde's face became even brighter. Everyone in the Confucius School in the county knew that Liao Qing was a member of Xu's family.

The name of the number one child born has spread so far, how can it be possible that his face is not shining?

"Then you go down and have a good chat with your uncle and Xiaosi, and ask each other for advice."

Then he turned to Liao Qing and said, "Liao Qing, your name has spread to the Confucius School in the county. You have really brought glory to our old Xu family. Da Lang is also your nephew. Please give him some guidance."

, he is no more than two years younger than you. He has been studying in school in his early years. Until now, he is not as talented as you. Maybe he didn't learn the right way. You should teach him more."

Liao Qing stood next to Xu Jiaojiao and responded, "I don't want to take advice. Da Lang has gone to many schools and is more knowledgeable than me. Let's study and discuss it together."

Then, Dalang really asked about this year's exam questions for children in public.

Mrs. Xu Zhang yawned.

It seems that I really came back to learn this posture, so I have no interest in it anymore.

Most people won't understand what articles and other topics they hear, and they will just be boring.

"Okay, everyone, let's go. Go and do whatever you need to do. Let them go and let these bookworms talk. Jiaojiao, what do you want to eat for lunch? Mom will make it for you..."

Xu Jiaojiao didn't reply. Xu Darong said cheekily, "Mom, don't be too meticulous. Dalang and I will eat whatever the family usually eats. This is our home, not outsiders. There is no need to give special food to Dalang and me."

Make hearty meals.”

Mrs. Xu Zhang rolled her eyes again, "Then I won't be too careful. I'll just eat coarse grain steamed buns for lunch."

Who is too careful with him?

People who want her to be meticulous, there used to be only Xu Jiaojiao in this world, but now there is Liao Qing.

Everyone was no longer interested in the academic topics, so they all went to work and dispersed.

Xu Jiaojiao and Mrs. Xu Zhang went to the kitchen to prepare delicious food. He Boji came in the past two days and brought a lot of gifts, making Mrs. Xu happy. This is Xu Jiaojiao's sworn brother.

The biological son of the in-laws and the only biological son, Xu Zhang bought a lot of delicious food and planned to keep He Boji for a few more days to play and stay for a few more days. However, He Boji had to leave for something, and now there are only delicious food left at home.

There are many more.

Chicken, duck, fish, and two wild rabbits that Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing personally took He Boji to hunt in the mountains. They looked plump. Xu Jiaojiao planned to make a rabbit hot pot. The rabbit skins could be peeled off and given to

Mrs. Xu Zhang makes a pair of gloves.

Liao Qing gave her a pair of rabbit skin gloves last year. It was very warm to wear when the weather was cold.

You can also make rabbit skin knee pads. Xu Zhang's joints suffer from rheumatism and there is a dull pain when it rains and the weather changes. You can make fur knee pads to keep them warmer.

…

Xu Darong suggested that Liao Qing have a special study room in the backyard and let them visit and study in Liao Qing's study room in the backyard.

Xu Youde agreed and let the three children go to the backyard and Liao Qing's study to discuss study issues.

Only Xu Youde and Xu Darong were left in the house.

"Dad, our family is now very lucky. We are doing business and making money. The people who took the merit test also got two young boys at once. This is a lucky turn of events! It's all due to dad. Now there are three boys and one scholar.

Yes, let alone our Xujia Village, which is only ten miles away, I'm afraid there is nothing like this in a hundred miles away. To be honest, dad, I'm so happy! Especially Liao Qing got the first place among the children. As the eldest brother, I will go out.

, they all have face. When our master knew about this, he also praised us in his words, saying that our family has talents. The implication is that I am thinking that next year I will probably get a salary increase..."

Xu Youde said in surprise, "Seriously?"

"Really, dad, generally speaking, there will be no salary increase until the year of renewal of the contract. The boss looks up to me for the sake of the talents produced by our old Xu family. Of course, it is also different from my usual

Diligence has something to do with it, and as expected, next year you should be able to earn several taels more, and there will also be more gifts and so on, so your life will be a lot easier."

Xu Youde showed a pleased smile, "This is a good thing. With the salary increase, you should teach the master's boys better. Don't neglect it. Also, you can't put aside your studies. You can go to the master's house to teach during the day."

, I have a lot of free time at night, read more books and write more articles. On the road to success, don’t give up if you can. Don’t say you are old. Many people live to learn. You are a father who has seen it first-hand.
