Lin Yuxi has been holding a sewing basket these days, as if she is doing something.
Chen Zhongqian felt confused, didn't she know how to do anything? She had asked Wang to help her make summer shirts before.
"What is this for?"
Speaking of this, Lin Joy proudly held out his work, "Dang dang dang, purse, do you think it looks good?"
Chen Zhongqian picked it up, turned it over and over, and found that it was really a purse.
The green bamboo is embroidered with fine stitches and very good craftsmanship.
"Where did you pick it up?"
Lin Joy snatched it back and snorted, "What did you pick it up? This is called buying it!"
"So, what you bought is what you made?"
Lin Joy stretched out her white and tender fingers and pointed at a certain place, "Did you see it? I embroidered it. Do you know what it is?"
"Very thick bamboo leaves." Chen Zhongqian carefully identified some of them and felt that this was the only possibility.
Lin Joy smiled, "This is called a four-leaf clover. It's a kind of grass that can bring luck. It's hard to find. Although I bought the purse, I embroidered this four-leaf clover. You can take it to the exam.
You must be lucky."
Chen Zhongqian looked at it again, and then asked her curiously, "Have you been embroidering this these past few days?"
The four-leaf grass was embroidered for four or five days.
Lin Joy nodded proudly, "Of course."
"The embroidery is very good. It seems that the exam depends on it."
Of course Lin Yuxi knew that she was poor at needlework, but this was a sincere gift from her. If he dared to dislike it, he would never receive anything in the future.
There were still a few stitches left, so she embroidered for a while, tied the knot with difficulty, and then hung it on Chen Zhongqian's body, with the four-leaf clover facing outward.
"Well, it's so beautiful."
She admired her proud work, but Chen Zhongqian stared at her, and then agreed, "Well, it's really beautiful."
I don’t know if I’m talking about the purse or her.
Because the exam is about to take place, the colleges have also given a holiday to allow students to come back and prepare well. This time, there are people from several colleges in the town going to take the exam.
It is an honor to be admitted to Yueshan Academy, so other academies will not feel that their students are being robbed, but will use this as a sign to recruit other students.
Chen Zhongda also came back from the college vacation. For the past two days, his family has provided for him as if it were for his ancestors. The food and drink standards were as for the Chinese New Year. The family members were not allowed to speak loudly and had to walk quietly for fear of affecting Chen Zhongda's reading.
.
The more they behave like this, the heavier the burden on Chen Zhongda's shoulders feels. This is no different from a distant scientific examination. This is an examination that will take place in two days, and the results will come out very quickly.
The expectations of his family made him breathless. If he failed, how would he face his family?
He couldn't read the book, so he wanted to ask Chen Zhongqian for advice on two questions. These were the things he encountered while reading recently. What if he encountered them in the exam?
As a result, when I left the house, I remembered that Chen Zhongqian and his family no longer lived there. If I went to the third grandpa's house to find someone, I don't know how many looks he would receive.
Because of him, the eldest brother and his family are living in such a miserable situation at home. Third Grandpa loves his eldest brother very much and will definitely not give him a good look. He understands this.
Chen Zhongda took a walk to the place where Chen Zhongqian's family was building a house, and it turned out that Chen Zhongqian and Lin Yuxi were there, discussing something with the workers.
His eyes lit up and he waited for a long time, waiting for Chen Zhongqian to finish speaking before passing over, "Brother."
"You're here." Chen Zhongqian spoke with a strong voice, which was different from the previous meeting. "There is only coarse tea here. Do you want to sit down and have a bowl?"
Chen Zhongda nodded happily, "Okay."
Chen Zhongda said hello to Lin Yuxi again, and then followed Chen Zhongqian to sit under the shade of a tree. "Brother, you are getting better very quickly. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are different from before."
"Really?" Chen Zhongqian was also very happy. He himself could feel the improvement in physical strength, but it was different when others said it.
"Of course, I am really happy to see that my eldest brother is well." Chen Zhongda said, "But there will be an exam the day after tomorrow, so eldest brother should have a good rest. He will take the test twice in a row. Be careful not to be able to bear it by then."
Chen Zhongqian nodded and asked him about his recent studies.
"I followed the method my elder brother taught me and made rapid progress. Even my husband praised me twice. I have also carefully read the important articles that my elder brother told me. Today I still have two questions.
I want to ask for advice."
Chen Zhongqian started talking to him about the topic directly, which made his throat itchy. He drank some water and continued.
Chen Hongkang looked very pleased and smiled, "We are brothers after all."
Lin Hexi said, "Even if we are not brothers, Zhong Qian will tell you that Zhong Da has never bullied anyone."
"When it comes to Zhongda and Xiuyun, they really haven't been raised crookedly. Especially Zhongda, he has always relied on him for everything since he was a child. This was especially true after your great-grandfather passed away. He doesn't take everything for granted.
, he knows how to feel guilty and grateful, and he is still a good boy." Chen Hongkang nodded approvingly.
Chen Zhongqian talked to Chen Zhongda for almost an hour, drinking several bowls of water, and finally said, "I am just following my own ideas. You can't rest assured just because you have learned these things. Any question may appear in the exam.
"
Chen Zhongda nodded seriously, "Brother, don't worry, I haven't wasted my family's money or wasted my time in these years. I have learned everything I need to learn."
"Well, I wish you good luck in the exam."
Chen Zhongda smiled and said, "The same goes for eldest brother. I hope that both of us brothers can successfully enter Yueshan Academy, take part in scientific examinations in the future, bring glory to the Chen family, and serve the country."
"My scientific examination is not to bring glory to the Chen family, but to my wife and children."
After saying this, he was stunned for a moment, saying such explicit words in front of others.
Then he cleared his throat and said, "Go back and get ready."
The couple was busy until the sun was about to go down before they went back together. Lin Xixi held his hands behind his back and walked up to him with a smile, "I heard everything."
"What did you hear?" Chen Zhongqian's expression remained unchanged.
"I heard you say that the scientific examination is to bring glory to me."
Chen Zhongqian said, "It's not for you, it's for the children...and you."
"That's not the same thing. Anyway, I am here." Lin Yuxi felt sweet in her heart, "When you pass the exam, I will also give you something."
"what?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I won't be a swindler. Why do you ask so clearly?"
"Of course I have to ask clearly. If it wasn't worth it, why would I work so hard? I have to ask."
Lin Yuxi wanted to make him a piece of clothing, but he wasn't sure if he could make it. Plus, he didn't want to tell him, so he stuck out his tongue at him, "Then I... won't tell you."
After saying that, he ran away happily.
Chen Zhongqian looked at her hair flying in the wind behind her and the bright smile in her eyes, and he truly felt that life was really beautiful.
