Chapter 24 24 Reluctance

An Chuxia sat in front of the window and looked at An Jinchen. Even Gu Fangmiao, who woke up and learned that she was on the list, quickly put on her clothes and walked to An Chuxia's side to look outside.

An Jinchen has never been paid attention to by so many people, but he still couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and smiled with white teeth.

Perhaps he was too excited, and his voice was hoarse, "Our Xia Xia is ranked first on the list this time!"

"I knew that even if I could rank fifth, Sister An, who worked a hundred times harder than me, would definitely get the top spot!"

Gu Fangmiao jumped up happily, hugged An Chuxia's arm and said.

Gu Tongsheng in the courtyard suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and said calmly: "This is the first test. You must also work hard in the next few tests, you know."

Everyone knows that the first session of the county examination is very important. As long as they perform smoothly and don't make big mistakes, the top students should have no problem passing the county examination.

Gu Shi was even more happy and said repeatedly: "Today is a good day. I will go buy groceries and come back to make you a delicious meal to celebrate."

After saying that, he was about to go shopping with a basket, but Gu Tongsheng stopped him, "Old lady, please calm down for a while!

They can't eat anything too greasy these days, and be careful not to spoil their stomachs, so you can just cook the same meals for them as usual."

Runsheng followed An Jinchen back, and when he saw the excited expressions of the people in the yard, he knew that they had learned that they had passed the county examination.

Dong Linlin had been standing there in front of the county examination list for a quarter of an hour.

She looked at herself who was ranked second on the list and moved her gaze upwards. She couldn't believe her eyes and felt that she was hallucinating.

How is this possible!

How could that loser be ahead of me?

She had been told by her father and several of his classmates that she was very talented since she was a child. How could she be overshadowed by that idiot?

The other students who were studying at Dong Xiucai's house and came to take the county examination this time couldn't believe what they saw, and they all looked at Dong Xuemei with a gloomy face without saying a word.

Wang Fugui's face turned red and ugly. He didn't expect that the person he had ridiculed when registering would be ranked first in the county examination list, but he didn't even pass the first county examination.

At this time, he seemed to have been slapped hard on the face. It didn't hurt, but he had a burning fever.

An Chuxia, who was eating chicken thighs from a bowl, didn't know that someone was resentful and unwilling because she did well in the exam.

Even if she knew, she would just say "cut" and then nothing would happen.

Who cares what a person who is hostile to him thinks.

Although Gu knew not to cook too greasy food, he couldn't help but feel happy and bought a chicken to stew.

During the meal, she gave two chicken drumsticks to An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao.

"Eat well and take the exam well. It depends on you whether my wife will enjoy happiness in this life!"

"That's right...whether my brother can live a good life in the future depends on his two sisters."

Runsheng also wanted to give An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao some delicious dishes to please him, but his elder brother glanced at them and immediately put away his chopsticks.

An Jinchen took the serving chopsticks and gave two chicken wings to Gu Fangmiao and An Chuxia respectively. He said with bright eyes: "Brother, I gave you my favorite chicken wings. Can you live a life of being cared for?"

It’s up to you.”

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao looked at each other, with smiles hidden in their eyes, while they returned the chicken wings and looked at An Jinchen teasingly.

"..." Are they people who can be bribed with two chicken wings? They have to give at least three!

When Gu Tongsheng saw that they had finished saying what they wanted to say, he twitched his beard and said angrily: "Eat...eat, these two stinky girls have just begun their journey to the imperial examination, where are they now!"

It’s too early to follow them and enjoy the blessings!”

An Jinchen thought about it, and then he unceremoniously ate both the returned chicken wings.

"Well……"

"Brother, this is too realistic!"

An Jinchen gave An Chuxia a look and let her experience it for herself.

"..." This obviously means that if she doesn't study hard, not only the chicken wings, but also the chicken butts will not be given to her.

The next day is the second test of the county examination.

An Chuxia met Dong Linlin in the examination room and found that when she looked at him, she no longer looked at her with contempt and disdain, but with more gloomy resentment.

I don't know where this girl came from with so much resentment. I just threw some feces on her bitter mother, and it was something produced by their own family.

Is it wrong to not want to be enslaved by his family?

Then this girl’s character is really something I can’t praise!

Dong Linlin worked hard to get back a win in the second county test.

But after the second county test results were released, she still stood there for a long time. If her eyes could burn things, the list posted on the wall would be instantly wiped out.

Dong Linlin bit her lower lip tightly. Her ranking had not changed, but the name above had also not changed.

How is it possible that a person who has failed to submit papers for three consecutive years should be crushed by such a waste? I am really unwilling to accept it.

If it weren't for the fact that she would be held accountable for tearing up this list, Dong Linlin might not be able to resist doing it.

In the following three consecutive county examinations, the person who ranked second remained unchanged, and the person who firmly held the first place remained unchanged.

The only thing that changed was that Gu Fangmiao climbed from fifth to fourth.

An Chuxia came first in the county examination and became a veritable county case leader, becoming famous in one examination.

Just because so few people failed in the county examination, and there were no people who failed three times in a row, students used to occasionally bring her up as a joke.

How attractive she was before, how famous she is now.

Even people who didn't know that she failed three consecutive county exams now know.

There were actually three female students in the top five in this county examination. If the students hadn't found out later that the three female students were students from ordinary families, they would have thought that there was something shady about this county examination.

Runsong stood at the gate of the county town and couldn't bear to watch the bullock carts go away. The liveliness of the small courtyard he rented in just a few days made people nostalgic.

When he entered the house again, the loneliness that greeted him made him frown.

He felt a little disappointed. The little girl who was so cute and cute that he fell in love with at first sight would become better and better in the future.

How can I be worthy of being a head catcher, but how can I be willing to give up?

An Chuxia and the others were driving the bullock cart just like when they arrived. An Jinchen sat next to him and chatted with him.

The teacher, Gu Tongsheng, leaned on the carriage with his eyes closed to meditate, while Gu Fangmiao leaned in Gu's arms.

An Chuxia saw that the crops in the fields were turning green, and small flowers were blooming in the grass in the fields.

The ox-cart drove for about two hours and finally arrived at Qingshi Town. I knew that the teacher and his wife were old and they definitely needed a rest during the bumpy journey.

So An Jinchen and the others declined Gu's request to stay and finish their meal before going back. After sending the three Gu family members to the door, they drove the ox cart back to the village.
Chapter completed!
