Domineering husband

Chapter 70

   Not only Li Qiao felt that the road from Sanliu Village to the county town was difficult, but the people in Sanliu Village also felt that the road was difficult.

But the people in Sanliu Village were used to walking this way before, except for paying food taxes on weekdays, they basically never had to take this way.

If it is raining and the roads are muddy, then don't go to the county seat. Anyway, there is no major event that must be done in the county seat that day.

Without demand, there is naturally no motivation to change.

In addition, the surrounding villages also have such dirt roads, so the people of Sanliu Village did not think of building this road specially before.

But now it's different.

Now their vermicelli have to be transported to the county town every day, it is not one or ten taels of silver, but four hundred taels of silver for the whole village!

Four hundred taels of silver a day, if it can't be delivered, how worried I am.

They know that vermicelli can be sold easily, even if there is a backlog for a few days, it doesn't matter, but there is too much money involved, so much money that they have never seen so much money before in their life.

The days now are like a dream, and they are afraid of long nights and dreams, so they are anxious.

If they can't turn vermicelli into silver in one day, their hearts will be like a fire burning, and they won't be able to sleep at night.

As a result, many people approached Zhuang Fengshou, wondering if the road could be repaired.

Zhuang Fengshou also wanted to build roads, so he came to Li Qiao.

This was beyond Li Qiao's expectations.

He thought he was the only one who wanted to build the road, but now the villagers can't stand the road anymore.

This is really great, let's see how Jiangzhi County refuses.

Jiangzhi County really couldn't refuse this.

Before that, he was afraid that the Holy One would think that he was intimidating Li Qiao to take a huge amount of money to build the road, but now everyone in Sanliu Village wanted to build the road, and he had no reason to refuse.

With a big wave of his hand, he was sure.

Sanliu Village can watch and repair by himself.

Jiangzhi County agreed, and Zhuang Fengshou called the whole village on the morning of Laba to discuss how to repair the road.

The reason why I want to build roads is to no longer be afraid of rainy days.

If this is the case, then it has to be built like a county road.

The roads in the county town are made of blue bricks and stone slabs. They are not particularly flat, but there are no potholes, and they are not afraid of rainy days.

But whether it was bricks or stone slabs, it cost a huge amount of money, because Sanliu Village was too far away from the county seat.

So how should this money be apportioned?

In the early morning of Laba, the cold air hits people, and the sky is not completely bright yet, and many people still hold Laba porridge in their hands.

This year, the Laba porridge in every household has been boiled thick. Not only are there eight kinds of miscellaneous grains in it, but also sugar. Everyone is in good spirits.

After Zhuang Fengshou's words fell, Han Xiaoyan, who was drinking porridge from a bowl, immediately said, "Of course Li Qiao is responsible for all the money, he has earned tens of thousands of taels of silver!" As soon as the words came out, the people around immediately turned to

her Cast an angry look: "Is your family not making any money?"

"Li Qiao's money is what he should earn. If it weren't for him, your family would have a good life now?!" "

Why are you still thinking about Li Qiao's money? Don't you know how to be content and grateful?"

Shocked, she couldn't help but said, "We've earned a lot of money, and Li Qiao is not going this way alone, how can we let him pay for it alone."

She also wanted to take advantage of Li Qiao. When building a house, she asked her to make soup, so she bought some ingredients.

Although she was later discovered by Zhao Mancang, she did not dare to continue, but in the end she got benefits from Li Qiao, and it was not in vain that the money she had lent to Li Qiao was not in vain.

As for the vermicelli this time, even Li Liang and Wang Guihua were honestly making vermicelli, so she naturally had other thoughts.

He didn't expect Han Xiaoyan to say such a thing.

It's too shameless!

...

Li Dazhong on the side, his face completely darkened: "What are you blind? You go home!

" Li Qiao earns money! We are so tired that we can't lift our arms, but he can earn hundreds of taels of silver just by sitting still. He orders the whole village to earn money for him. If he doesn't take the money, who will take it?" "

This If the road is not repaired well, it will affect him!"

Han Xiaoyan was not afraid of being criticized, she poked her neck and said loudly.

Making vermicelli every day is really exhausting for her. Why should she donate the money she finally earned to build roads? Compared with Li Qiao, she is not angry!

"Yeah, yeah, right now, it's not like he's using the whole village to earn money for him."

Li Mi endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back.

This is so true.

He was as tired as a dog every day, but Li Qiao was kept white and clean, not at all like his brother.

What a real brother, can you use him like this?

mad.

"So you two don't want to suffer from this burden, do you?"

Zhuang Fengshou stood on the table, looking at Han Xiaoyan and Li Shu with a blank expression.

Before dawn, Li Shu and Han Xiaoyan couldn't see Zhuang Fengshou's expression clearly, but Han Xiaoyan shrank his neck at his cool tone.

"It's not that I don't want to suffer. What I mean is that since Li Qiao ordered the whole village to work for him, he should build the road himself." After saying this, there was only a "pop", and a

loud The slap landed on Han Xiaoyan's face.

This slap was so powerful that she staggered, and the pottery bowl in her hand fell to the ground without holding it firmly.

With a "bang", the bowl fell to pieces, and the eight-treasure porridge inside also splashed all over the floor.

"Han Xiaoyan, I warned you before, if you miss Li Qiao's things again, then go back to your mother's house!"

Li Dazhong said, grabbed Han Xiaoyan's wrist, and pulled her away.

It just so happened that she was at the entrance of the village at this time, and it was easy to send her back to her mother's house directly.

Wang Guihua looked at this scene with cold eyes, and said loudly: "Han Xiaoyan, if you dare to reveal the vermicelli recipe to your natal family after you return to your natal family, then your whole family will be imprisoned!"

"Tsk, it's not a good idea to make trouble every day. In my opinion, it's okay if I can't survive this day. I might as well just divorce her, so that there will be no more quarrels." Liu Cui's eyes rolled violently, and she moved

towards Li Dazhong shouted loudly.

Last year, because her family offended Li Qiao, they were not able to work in the sweet potato workshop.

This year, she apologized to Li Qiao several times, and was willing to take care of the old man Tao and the old lady Tao Shu. Li Qiao then let her family work in the sweet potato workshop.

At this moment, seeing this familiar scene, she couldn't help but stand up and give advice to Li Dazhong.

Li Dazhong divorced Han Xiaoyan, so her niece can marry.

Liu Cui's words were originally for her own purposes.

But when other people heard it, many people actually nodded.

No, now the big guy can get so much money in a day, this is a good thing that I can't even dream of, but Han Xiaoyan is still not satisfied, this kind of greedy person should be struck by lightning!

Since she is staring at Li Qiao so much, then go back wherever she came from, so that she can no longer take advantage of Li Qiao!

Besides, heck, their family also has relatives who want to marry into Sanliu Village, there are girls and younger brothers, even if Li Dazhong has two children, they don't dislike them.

Li Qiao didn't have any objections to Li Dazhong, his cousin, as long as Han Xiaoyan, the rat shit, was gone, then Li Dazhong would become a celebrity in front of Li Qiao in no time.

Therefore, no matter for Li Qiao's sake or for their own relatives' sake, Li Dazhong should divorce Han Xiaoyan.

With this in mind, more and more people persuaded Li Dazhong to divorce his wife.

Li Dazhong said nothing with a sullen face, but just pulled Han Xiaoyan out of the village.

Han Xiaoyan was startled and angry, he didn't bother to scold Li Dazhong, instead he scolded Liu Cui and others. For a while, there was a lot of voices under the willow tree, very lively.

Li Qiao's house.

Laba, Li Qiao's family also cooked Laba porridge, which contained red dates, lotus seeds and lilies specially bought.

The Laba porridge made in this way is sticky and not particularly sweet. With steamed dumplings, the whole family is extremely satisfied.

When we were about to finish eating, it was dawn, and Brother Qiu from Zhang Xiuhua's family came to sell eggs.

When winter comes, the hens don't lay eggs very much. Even if we raise more chickens this year, it will take half a month to save a basket of eggs.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the eggs have to be kept for the Chinese New Year, and his family will not sell them again this time.

Originally, Brother Qiu was going to come directly to Li Qiao's house with the eggs, but when he heard the sound of the manor's gong, he was a little curious, so he followed.

Therefore, he witnessed the farce at the entrance of the village.

Now when he came to Li Qiao's house, he couldn't help but tell Li Qiao and others.

Tao Zhu felt a little guilty after hearing this.

Before that, he wanted to scare Han Xiaoyan, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he specially gave Han Xiaoyan's two children big red envelopes of usual money during Chinese New Year last year.

Unexpectedly, the idea that was pressed to death by him a long time ago is now the idea of ​​many people in the village...

"Then what happened next?" He couldn't help asking.

"Brother Da Zhong sent Han Xiaoyan back to her natal family. As for Brother Li Shu, the village head does not allow their family to go to work in the sweet potato workshop, lest they get tired."

"...What's Li Shu's reaction?" Li Qiao asked. "I'm very angry. I wanted to make trouble with Brother Qiao, but I was stopped

by my sister-in-law Guihua, Brother Chunsheng, the village chief and others."

The eggs are here. However, I heard sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans say that her family is willing to pay two taels of silver."

Brother Qiu said.

"Two taels?"

Li Qiao was surprised.

Tao Zhu and the others were also surprised. They knew that Wang Guihua wanted to save Li Qiao some money, but two taels was too much, and some people must be unwilling.

Not long after Brother Qiu left, Zhuang Fengshou came.

"Slate and blue bricks are too expensive. If we use these two things to build roads, we will spend too much money and we can't afford them. So everyone decided to use adobe bricks to build roads." Adobe bricks are much cheaper than blue bricks and stone slabs

. If the whole village pools money together, the road can still be repaired.

The adobe bricks are also very good. Now most of the houses in Sanliu Village are built with adobe bricks. After the adobe houses are built, they can live there for decades.

"...are adobe bricks okay?" Li Qiao was a little skeptical.

"Of course, although it is not as good as blue bricks and stone slabs, it is much better than dirt roads, and there will be no potholes." Zhuang Fengshou said.

"I can pay some more money, why don't I buy green bricks or slates?"

It must be that the green bricks and slates have been used for a long time.

"No, your money didn't come from the wind, it's what you deserve."

"Although I came up with the vermicelli, I can't earn today's money by myself." "

Why can't you earn it? If you sell this recipe to vendors, the vendors must be crazy about it. You earned it." It must be more than now, and the villagers can't earn a penny."

"It should be thanks to you by the whole village." "

That's it, each family will pay two taels of silver, if not, don't go on that road from now on , and don't work in the sweet potato workshop."

"The same is true for Zhujia Village. As for you, you can take a hundred taels." "

It's such a long road, and I don't expect it to be repaired in a year. Take your time. No rush. Fill up the places that are prone to potholes first, and let's repair them slowly."

Zhuang Fengshou arranged everything clearly.

Li Qiao: "..."

One hundred taels?

How many years are you going to fix it?

After several years, he might not be in Sanliu Village anymore.

So, he used the rough-and-tumble kung fu that he dared not use on Jiang Zhixian on Zhuang Fengshou.

He began to settle accounts.

Roughly calculated, one hundred and thirty bricks can cover one square meter.

The main road leading from Sanliu Village to the county seat is about three meters wide and about 25 kilometers long. If the road is only paved with a layer of adobe bricks, it will not be able to repair one kilometer in today's silver.

What can one kilometer do?

Tao Zhu listened and joined in to persuade Li Qiao.

So, after talking for a whole day, Zhuang Fengshou finally let go.

Because Li Qiao said that he was going to take the imperial examination, don't wait for him to go to Beijing to take the examination after being admitted to Juren, the road has not been repaired yet.

This can be called bragging and shameless, but Zhuang Fengshou is very confident in Li Qiao. His son Zhuang Wen hadn't been admitted as a scholar in thirty years of study, but he was admitted immediately by Li Qiao.

Then it was Li Qiao's turn to take the exam by himself, so he had to go all the way to the capital after passing five tests.

We can't let Li Qiao enter Beijing, and the road here hasn't been repaired yet!

So the final decision was made. Each household in Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village donated two taels of silver, and Li Qiao made up for the lack of silver. The road must be repaired next year.

Start work when the vermicelli is done.

The news quickly spread throughout the ten miles and eight villages, and most of the people who heard the news would speak generously.

Some thoughtful people approached Shangzhuang Fengshou specifically, saying that they also want to donate money and want to contribute to this road.

Only by showing more performance can you make a good impression in front of Li Qiao!

I can't bear to let the children not be tied to wolves. Looking at the current treatment in Zhujiacun, they will become the second Zhujiacun!

To be honest, there are quite a few people who are willing to pay this money, not to mention that someone in the family has entered the sweet potato workshop in the county, but only this year's sweet potato.

This year's sweet potato harvest is bumper, and they have grown more. Many people can earn thirty or forty taels of silver by relying on sweet potatoes.

Not to mention that there are still some lucky families who work in the sweet potato workshop and can get three hundred cash a day.

Therefore, there are really many people who are willing to donate these two taels of silver.

If someone in another village is willing to donate money, Zhuang Fengshou is naturally happy to accept it. If others donate two taels more, Li Qiao can spend two taels less.

Moreover, in order to encourage people in neighboring villages to donate more, he said that after the road is repaired, a monument of merit will be erected, and anyone who has donated silver can leave their names on the monument of merit.

As soon as the news came out, people who wanted to donate rushed into Zhuang Fengshou's house. My good guy, this is like appearing on the same rock as Li Qiao. This is a good opportunity to get close to Li Qiao!

Can't miss it!

But Li Qiao is not money, and it is impossible for everyone to have goodwill towards Li Qiao. There are some people, even if they make money from Li Qiao, it still cannot stop the blood from their eyes.

These people thought that the money should be paid by Li Qiao.

If Li Qiao was rich from the beginning, and was different from the ordinary people, he was willing to extend his hand to them now, and they could only be grateful.

But Li Qiao used to be a rotten person, but now he has transformed himself and can earn so much money!

They are dissatisfied, they are jealous!

In addition, Han Xiaoyan's remarks that "Li Qiao is ordering the whole village to earn money for him" also spread, so there are quite a few people who envy Li Qiao.

But with Li Qiao's current reputation, they only dared to say such things in private, not in public.

Didn't even see that Li Shu couldn't enter the sweet potato workshop anymore, let alone them!

In this atmosphere, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to the county again, and they went to the county government to deliver the snacks bought by Jiangzhi County.

This year, Jiangzhi County asked Li Qiao to buy some dim sum again.

Before leaving, Jiang Zhixian told their husband and wife that he had sent the vermicelli from the sweet potato workshop in the county to the capital as a tribute.

He also wrote detailed notes about the birth of vermicelli and the current madness in the county.

According to the normal speed, by the end of the first lunar month, the response from the Holy Majesty will spread to Pingcheng.

Hearing this, Li Qiao felt a sense of unreality, did Jiangzhi County really write his name in the booklet and send it to the capital?

...

Just write it, he is most concerned about the county examination in February next year.

However, he once again implicitly stated that if officials at the government and provincial levels want to be filial, then he knows the rules.

Hearing what he said, the magistrate of Jiang County couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, I will tell you the truth. When preparing the sweet potato workshop this summer, I went to Fucheng specially to tell the magistrate all about my plan. "

"Your Excellency is very supportive of this plan, let me do it freely, so you don't have to worry about it." The prefect

holds the power of the prefecture, and he is in charge of the counties below. If he wants to engage in such a big battle, he will naturally have to fight The magistrate communicated.

The magistrate is neither naive nor stupid, after hearing his plan, he knows what great changes vermicelli can bring to Pingcheng.

If Pingcheng is really rich, then the magistrate must have made merit as the chief of the prefecture.

His political achievements are also those of the magistrate.

What's more, his notes clearly stated that the magistrate gave him a lot of support and encouragement, so now the magistrate is also waiting for the emperor's reaction.

Vermicelli can become a specialty of Pingcheng, or the whole prefecture. Compared with his political achievements, Li Qiao's little money is really nothing, and it can't be seen by the magistrate.

Under the rule of the two most holy and Ming emperors in Dasheng, there are fewer corrupt officials. Although there are still unspoken rules, they will not be too much.

One is because officials' salaries are high enough.

If the position is higher, the salary can be much higher, and some can even be doubled or tripled. In addition, some money that does not affect the overall situation is collected when doing business, so the officials in Dasheng are not short of money.

The second reason is that from the founding of the country to the present, the Taishang Emperor has cut down corrupt officials like cutting melons and vegetables, so there are very few corrupt officials in Dasheng at present, which can be called Qingming.

Li Qiao's worries did not exist.

He originally didn't intend to tell Li Qiao these things, but this young man gave him a second chance in his life, and he knew how to judge the situation, so he just said it.

The right is to form a good relationship.

As long as this young man doesn't act like a monster, his future is really limitless, maybe he will be the one to reach the peak in the future.

Li Qiao was really relieved to hear Jiang Zhixian's words.

It turns out that the magistrate also took a fancy to vermicelli?

He couldn't help sighing again, Dasheng is really a paradise!

After coming out of the county government office, the husband and wife began to purchase new year's goods.

The two of them are not planning to come to the county before the Chinese New Year, and Li Qiao has to concentrate on preparing for the exam.

After a big purchase, it was already dark when the two returned to the village, and the cold wind was blowing. The two snuggled together and were about to drive the ox cart home, when a woman's cry came from not far away.

Li Qiao's ears were sensitive, and he quickly understood the reason.

It was Han Xiaoyan who was crying, and while crying, he scolded whether Li Dazhong had a new love. But Li Dazhong seemed to be dragging Han Xiaoyan, and he still wanted to send Han Xiaoyan back to her natal home.

In order to avoid embarrassment and not want to be entangled by Han Xiaoyan, he jumped off the ox cart and led the ox cart to the house quickly.

"What's wrong?" Tao Zhu was a little puzzled.

"I heard Madam Yan crying." Li Qiao said.

"..."

Tao Zhu turned his body sideways and pointed his ears in the direction of Li Dazhong's house. After a few seconds, he really heard the faint cry.

But he couldn't hear it clearly, so he couldn't be sure it was Han Xiaoyan.

He looked at Li Qiao who was holding Xiao Guai in surprise, this man's ears are too good, right?

However, he really didn't want to be entangled by Han Xiaoyan, so he simply got out of the bullock cart and walked side by side with Li Qiao.

"Actually, Brother Da Zhong has no intention of divorcing his wife." He couldn't help but say.

"We can't control it, let's be bystanders." Li Qiao took his hand through thick gloves.

Li Qiao only had two words for Han Xiaoyan:

I'm used to it.

"Go back quickly. Although the clothes on my body are thick, they can't stand the cold weather. I feel that the clothes are blown through. Are you cold?" Li Qiao changed the subject.

When Tao Zhu heard this, he immediately ignored Han Xiaoyan: "Don't be cold, go back and warm yourself by the fire, and have a drink." "

Yes!"

Li Qiao replied heavily, and the couple quickly returned home.

After arriving home, they first lit a fire to get rid of the cold air on their bodies, and then ate hot meals. Then the couple went back to their happy hometown in the backyard.

I'm running around all day today and I don't read anymore.

And with Jiang Zhixian's permission, the big stone that weighed on Tao Zhu's heart disappeared, and tonight, naturally, he wanted to be happy.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.

The sweet potato workshop is closed today.

For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, it's okay to rest for a day, anyway, today's starch can be used for another two months.

Moreover, it is really impossible to do a job like butchering pigs only by relying on the elderly and children at home.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Sanliu Village, Zhujia Village and nearby villages raised many chickens, ducks and pigs. After a year, these chickens, ducks and pigs have grown up.

If it were in previous years, almost no one would be willing to kill pigs for meat, and the big guys would sell pigs for money.

But this year, no one is short of the pig's money, and many families even earn a hundred taels. In this case, they are naturally willing to kill the pig for meat.

Kill the pig today, celebrate the New Year tomorrow, perfect!

There are so many people who want to kill pigs, but Butcher Zheng can't do it alone. So three or five families made an appointment to kill pigs together and help each other.

After these people killed the pigs, without exception, they all brought the meat to Li Qiao's house to deliver the meat.

The big guys knew that Li Qiao would not accept too much, and after observing for so long, they also knew that Li Qiao liked to eat bones with little meat and didn't like to eat serious fat meat, so these people sent ribs and pig's trotters.

By noon, Li Qiao's family had received a total of over 100 catties of pork ribs and more than 400 pig's trotters, including those sent by Zhujia Village.

Li Qiao: "..."

Very well, there is no shortage of pork ribs and trotters this New Year.

"Fortunately, the weather is cold now, otherwise, I really can't let it go." Tao Zhu looked at these ribs and pig's trotters, feeling a little worried.

Because a few days ago, many people from other villages also came to deliver meat.

There is no sweet potato workshop in the outer village, so the pigs were slaughtered early, and many families also sent meat.

Ordinary pork can be made into bacon, but how can pig's trotters and ribs be made into bacon?

"Don't worry, let's stew pig's trotters and ribs in all four kitchens tomorrow afternoon, call a bunch of people over, if we can't finish it all at once, then let's stew it a few more times, and we will finish it for sure." Li Qiao said with a

smile .

"Alright." Tao Zhu nodded.

If he left it in the past, he would feel distressed.

But now that there are three small boxes for banknotes at home, he really doesn't feel bad.

For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, the stewed meat is lively and lively.

Hearing this, Li Dashan immediately said: "Then I'll tell Brother Qian the good news now." "

Go, go, and order your uncle by the way. Bring back the Yuyan roast sausage, so that the Zheng family won't run away again." Let's go."

Tao Zhu asked him to take the pannier.

"Okay!" Li Dashan went excitedly.

After his unremitting efforts, Brother Qian's attitude towards him finally changed. Although he failed to marry Brother Qian back this year, he will definitely do it next year!

In the afternoon, every household either made dumplings or stewed meat, and Li Ping came to deliver a small bookshelf. A few days ago, Li Qiao asked the dealer to order a small bookshelf for Tao Zhu.

Li Ping didn't leave after delivering the bookshelf, but sat down and helped make dumplings.

Of course, the most important thing is to gossip.

She was always well informed.

"You don't know yet, do you? Now not only are there people who are matchmaking for Dazhong, but also for your third uncle Li Dao!" "

?"

"What?"

"..."

Everyone in the room was shocked.

Talking about gossip requires this kind of reaction, and Li Ping's interest soared, and he said: "Who made Zhao Erniu offend Li Qiao? If you kick Zhao Erniu and blow Li Dao's bedside wind, then that's not the case. Li Dao might be as good an elder as Li Gu. At that time, his treatment in front of Li Qiao will naturally be the same as that of Chun Tao's father." "Many people pay attention to

this."

Li Qiao: "..."

There are mixed flavors.

I don't know what to say.

Li Ping quickly said again: "Many girls and brothers in our village are planning to recruit husbands. It's like Tao Tao, who wanted to pick a good one, and even wanted to marry into the town. As a result, he only recruits a son-in-law now, but no marriage."

"Unfortunately, he doesn't like any man who is willing to marry." "He is

as old as a mountain, and he will be eighteen after the new year. If it continues, it will be even worse. found."

Li Qiao: "..."

So, recruiting a son-in-law has become the mainstream in their village?

"By the way, by the time I came here, there were a total of 600 households in other villages who donated money to our village, and they donated 1,200 taels of silver!" Li Ping remembered this and hurriedly asked

Li Qiao and Tao Bamboo shares the good news.

"There are so many?" Li Qiao was surprised.

This was beyond his expectation.

"When we finish making vermicelli and start construction next year, there will definitely be people donating."

Everyone wants to have Li Qiao's name appear on a stone. After the merit monument is erected, Li Qiao will definitely look at it carefully. Li Qiao's name appeared in Li Qiao's eyes.

Li Qiao: "..."

Okay.

Nor can he dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd.

...

Li Ping left in the evening, and Li Qiao's house set off firecrackers, ate dumplings, and watched the new year. Another year came.

On the afternoon of the first day of the new year, Li Qiao's house was very lively.

Li Liang's family, Li Gu's family, Zheng's family, Zhuang's family, and Zhao Mancang's family called for Li Dazhong, but Li Dazhong didn't come.

With so many people working together, the pig's trotters and ribs were stewed in no time.

In case there was not enough food, each family also brought their own stove to stew some things.

The stew lasted till evening, and the strong aroma filled the whole yard. Everyone either took the ribs, or the trotters, or other big bones, and all of them gnawed on their faces with oil.

Li Qiao stood by the stove, took the sausage out of the pot with chopsticks, and gnawed on a few pieces of pig's trotters, feeling a little tired.

Eat a spicy sausage for a change.

Tao Zhu stood beside him, holding a small basin in his hand, and there were two pig's trotters in the basin.

Now that Tao Zhu is being taken by Li Qiao, he also likes to eat pig's trotters and duck necks, which don't have much meat.

Seeing that Li Qiao continued to scoop up two sausages, he said, "I don't eat sausages, so grab a few less, and I'll eat pig's trotters later." "Okay,

whatever you want to eat, today is All-meat banquet." Li Qiao looked at him as he spoke, and said with a smile: "It feels like everyone came to our wedding banquet. At that time, we were poor and there was no meat in the wedding banquet. Today, we can make up for it." Tao Zhu didn't expect him

to There is such an association, I was startled when I heard this, and then I couldn't help but look at the situation in the yard.

Everyone either sat at the table or squatted, and the peasants were not so particular.

Whether it is an adult or a child, there is a smile on the face.

Think again about the scene where everyone washes and stews together in the afternoon. Of course, everyone's blessings for Liqiao County Trial cannot be missed.

This whole process, isn't it the same as the day he and Li Qiao got married.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, looking at Li Qiao's watery eyes: "En!"

It's complete.

If this person gets good grades in the county test, it will be more complete.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the sweet potato workshop started again.

Li Qiao also calmed down and concentrated on studying.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the county office announced the date of the county examination:

five days from the twelfth to the sixteenth of the next month.

The county test is for five consecutive days.

The exam date is announced, and the next step is to register.

This registration is quite complicated, because there was no ID card in ancient times, so it is more troublesome to register, but Li Qiao has long been prepared.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, he and Tao Zhu went to the county seat.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, the couple bumped into Jiangzhi County's carriage.

"It's a coincidence, it saves me a special trip to Sanliu Village." Jiang Zhixian said with a smile when he saw Li Qiao.

Li Qiao: "?"

The author has something to say:

Today is indeed earlier than yesterday...
