Time flies by, and soon it will be the beginning of April of the second year, and there is less than a month left before the Wu Kangan Township Exam.

At this time, the Wu family had successfully bought a shop in the town and reached a long-term cooperative relationship with the villagers. Most of the villagers now raised chickens, ducks and geese, and planted a large amount of vegetables. , When he became a big pig farmer, he sold all the pigs he raised to the Wu family, which made more money than when he was a butcher.

The Wu family also only sold some braised pork from the beginning, adding a lot of other meats and vegetables.

As for the Wu family's land, they also chose to rent it to the people in the village to cultivate.

.Dong Heng's mother also followed the villagers to raise some chickens and ducks at first, but when he sold them to the Wu family, the Wu family didn't accept his chickens and ducks at all. When he offended the Wu family so much, who was still a person without temperament Now, all the people in the village are facing the Wu family, so Village Chief Wu and the others are naturally not afraid of offending Mother Dong.

In a fit of anger, Mother Dong ran to the door of the Wu family's shop and yelled at the Wu family, saying that the people of the Wu family were immoral and acted unrighteously. Maybe the food was poisoned, so those diners should be careful so as not to be caught by the Wu family. hurt.

Some diners who often buy braised pork at Wu's house have not changed. They always come to the braised meat shop to buy food. After all, they have eaten for so long. Do they still know if there is any problem with the food? Customers who bought braised pork at Wu's house didn't think so.

.During that time, the Wu family's business really plummeted, not to say that there were no customers at all, but it was not as good as before.

The Wu family's business was not as good as before. The goods could not be sold, and the purchases were low. The villagers in Xingfeng Village naturally asked the Wu family to ask. things said.

The villagers finally had a good life, but they were disturbed by Dong's mother. During that time, villagers threw stones at Dong's mother's house every day, which scared Dong's mother to go to the county town early one morning to find Dong. Heng went.

But Dong Heng had no way to solve these matters. He secretly kept this matter in his mind, thinking about the title of the Golden List in the future, and then cleaning up these ignorant people must be done. Of course, the focus is to clean up the Wu family.

.After that, Wu Bai came up with a solution. He asked the Wu family to go to the back of the store every day for lunch and eat directly in the store, and everyone had to eat their own braised vegetables in front of the guests.

When Wu Fulang heard Wu Bai say this, he felt a little distressed. After all, those things were all money, and everyone in the family had to eat. The business was not good. Isn't this worse?

But in the end, Father Wu, as the head of the family, made a final decision on Wu Bai's idea.

Therefore, during that time, the customers who came and went could see the Wu family eating braised pork every day, whether they were in the store or passing by the door. After a long time, the Wu family was all well, and there was nothing wrong with each of them. Only then did the guests gradually gather, and the business in the store slowly returned to its previous state.

At this time, Wu Fulang and the others understood Wu Bai's intention.

.Today, Wu Kangan came back.

He was about to set off for the township exam in the next state capital, and this time he came back to inform his family about the situation.

The rural exam is not fixed in a certain state capital. It is usually held by several nearby state capitals in turn, but Wu Kangan was unlucky this year. It happened to be the next state capital, so he had to travel far.

Wu Bai didn't plan to follow him to the next state capital this time. First, it was useless for him to go. Second, after the shop opened, there were more things to do at home, so he planned to stay at home.

In the end, after some discussion, the family decided that Father Wu would go to the next state capital with Wu Kangan, while the others stayed at home.

.Wu Kang'an College was pressing hard, so he only stayed at home for one night, and took Wu's father to the county the next day, but this time the Wu family did not rent a carriage, because their family bought one by themselves. There was a carriage, and Wu's father just took the carriage to send Wu Kangan off.

With the departure of Father Wu, the store became more and more busy. It just so happened that Wu Bai's eldest brother was diagnosed with pregnancy on this day. This is the first grandchild of the Wu family, so everyone in the Wu family is very precious.

So Wu Bai proposed to recruit two people to work in the store. This way, everyone can relax a little. As for the big brother, he only needs to take good care of the baby.

.There was no objection to Wu Bai's proposal. In the end, after some discussion, everyone decided to choose one from each of Wu Bai's two brothers' maiden families. After all, these two families are quite reliable. After they developed, I didn't see them coming to fight the autumn breeze, which shows that their character is guaranteed.

In addition, they are all relatives, so they should help each other.

After deciding on the manpower, Brother Wu and Second Brother Wu were going to run to their parents' houses respectively, but because Brother Wu was pregnant, in the end, Brother Wu ran away from his parents' home.

.The personnel were also quickly settled. The eldest brother has four brothers, the eldest brother is the third, and the eldest brother is the younger brother of his family, because the other two brothers have their own livelihoods, and the eldest brother is a carpenter who specializes in helping people. The second brother was a clever man when he managed furniture to earn money. When he saw that his brother-in-law was buying chickens, ducks and geese, he came to inquire. After getting permission, he also brought his husband to raise these poultry and made some money.

Second brother, there are only two people at home, he and his elder brother, so it is his elder brother who came here. His elder brother just got a baby not long ago, and the family is indeed a little nervous. should come down.

The shop has recruited people, and Wu Bai has become less busy than before. His main thing every day is to prepare various seasonings and hand them over to others.

.Because this seasoning recipe is the foundation of the Wu family's shop, every time Wu Bai prepares these things, he stays in the room behind the shop to prepare them, and does not let the two brothers see.

As for the two brothers, Wu Bai naturally taught them, but judging from their behavior, they are not the kind of people who only care about her parents' family and not her husband's, so Wu Bai is very reassured about them.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, a month and a half passed.

On this day, Wu Bai was going out to buy seasonings. When he came back, he found that his shop was surrounded by many people. For a moment, Wu Bai thought that someone was looking for trouble. I squeezed into the crowd and came to the store.

Seeing that the store was peaceful and there was no one looking for trouble, Wu Bai put his heart down a little.

."Brother Bai, you're back, go to the backyard and take a look." I saw the second brother's eldest brother said to him.

Wu Bai took a few steps to the backyard and found that it was Father Wu and Wu Kang'an who had returned, so he completely relieved the breath in his heart.

"Father, second brother, you are back!" Wu Bai shouted in surprise.

Seeing the flushed faces of the two people and the excitement of the Wu family, Wu Bai guessed that Brother Wu must have been admitted to Juren, but he still had to confirm it: "Second brother, you are going to the next state capital this time. , how was the test? You don't know, since you left, the second brother has to mention you to us every day, all kinds of worries, you can't live up to the second brother's intentions! "

Hearing this, Wu Kangan looked at his husband, and the other turned his face shyly, he couldn't help but smile.

.Speaking of which, since the two of their husbands got married, apart from the fact that they were a little unfamiliar at the beginning, so they were shy, he rarely saw his husband look shy since then, but he never expected to see him today. .

Thinking that he usually spends most of his time in the academy and rarely accompanies his husband, and now that the eldest brother already has children, but the two of them have been separated from each other because they don't have children, he felt guilty for a while. He took the initiative to walk in front of the husband and grabbed his hand.

Wu Erfu didn't expect Wu Kangan to suddenly grab his hand. He looked at the teasing smiles on the faces of the Wu family, and felt even more embarrassed. He wanted to bury his head in the ground and retract his hand. .

.But the more this is the case, the less Wu Kangan will let go of his hand, Wu Kangan said, "Father, you have worked hard for the past two years. Now that I have passed the exam, I will definitely not let you suffer again in the future. Just wait and enjoy!"

Wu's father and Wu's mother saw that their son and husband had a close relationship, but they didn't feel anything wrong. After all, they were not too young. When it was time to hold their grandson, the closer their son and husband were, the more likely their wishes would be. early realization.

Because of this issue, Wu Fulang simply spoke up and asked Wu Erfu Lang to raise his body first, so that the couple could start preparing for pregnancy. As for his affairs, he would leave it to Wu Fu to do it. Wu did not reject this arrangement and accepted it happily. .

The people in front of the Wu family's braised pork shop couldn't see the freshly-baked Master Juren for a while, and everyone slowly dispersed.

In the evening, after the store closed, everyone returned home.

.Then Wu Bai asked: "Second brother, I heard that Dong Heng also participated in the township examination this time. Have you met him? Has he been selected as a candidate?"

I was so happy before that Wu Kangan forgot about Dong Heng, but when he heard Wu Bai ask, he replied with a bad expression: "He was also selected as a candidate."

Because Dong's mother slandered his shop for poisoning before, Wu Kangan always didn't deal with Dong Heng when he was in college. This time he was admitted to Juren. It was precisely because the two names were close together that he saw Dong Heng's name when he saw his own name on the list. It was also at this time that he knew about Dong Heng. Heng also participated in the township examination.

.Although he and Dong Heng both went to the county school, their masters are not the same, so he didn't know that Dong Heng also participated in this township examination before.

Seeing Wu Kang'an's dejected appearance, Wu Bai said with relief: "Second brother, don't be discouraged, if you work harder, maybe you will be admitted to the jinshi.
