Chapter 297 The Nervous Couple
Shen Li met a seller of melon seeds on the road and bought a lot. If there was no sunflower seeds, melon seeds would be fine too, they were almost the same.
In the afternoon, a drizzle began to fall and the temperature dropped sharply.
Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui frowned when they saw this. How could this late spring cold come so suddenly? The fourth child was still in the examination room!
Lin Cuicui clasped her hands together, and no one knew which deity she was praying to. All Shen Li heard was that her mother only hoped that everything would go well for her fourth brother.
Shen Li was not too worried. Fourth brother's physique was many times stronger than that of an ordinary person, and he had brought enough clothes with him, so he would be fine.
The cold wind was accompanied by drizzle, but even so, there were many people in front of the examination room. Most of them were holding oil-paper umbrellas and wearing straw raincoats, waiting for their relatives to come out.
Shen Changshan went downstairs to wait for Shen Qian'an. There were too many people outside, so he let Shen Li and Lin Cuicui stay in the carriage.
"Ali, Auntie, it really is you!"
Su Zhihui opened the carriage curtain and saw a familiar carriage. Through the open curtain, she saw Shen Li and her son.
"Ahui, you are here too."
"Yeah, my mom and I are here to pick up my dad."
As they were talking, they drove the carriage closer, and the two families sat in the carriage and chatted.
Su Zhihui's mother is a lady from a wealthy family, but she is not pedantic. Instead, she is very open-minded and easy-going, which is incomparable to ordinary people.
Look, now she is chatting with Lin Cuicui, and she doesn’t mean to look down on Lin Cuicui at all.
Soon, the door opened and twos and threes of scholars came out. They were all relatively calm during the interview. Their ages varied, from a 10-year-old child to a 40-year-old man, and they all went there to pursue their dreams.
Shen Qi'an's tall and slender figure stood out among the crowd of scholars.
Shen Changshan couldn't squeeze in, so he simply waited outside the crowd. After all, he was tall and had a good sight, so he could see Shen Qian'an come out.
"father."
Shen Changshan handed over the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and asked, "The weather suddenly turned cold this afternoon. Did you catch a cold?"
"Dad, I'm fine."
Shen Changshan nodded, "That's fine, let's go back to the carriage first, this is not the place to talk."
"it is good."
The father and son squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the direction where the carriage was parked. After a while, they saw their own carriage.
"Mom, little sister."
"Come on, you are frozen, get into the carriage."
Su Zhihui looked through the drawn curtain and followed their conversation. She only looked for a few seconds and soon lowered her eyes and stopped looking.
The beautiful woman next to him seemed to be aware of this scene. She turned her head to look at her daughter, and then looked at the gentle and elegant young man outside the carriage.
Shen Qian'an felt her gaze and turned his head slightly to look over. When he saw the two people in the carriage, his gaze paused. Then he greeted the woman, looked away, and got into his own carriage.
"Aunt, Ah Hui, let's go back first."
Su Zhihui nodded, "You guys go first, my father won't be out for a while."
Shen Li smiled and nodded: "Then let's talk next time."
"Yeah, I'll come find you some other day."
Shen Li let down the curtain. She felt that Ah Hui was more restrained at this moment. She usually talked a lot. At this moment, she glanced at Shen Qian'an standing beside her. Could it be because her fourth brother was there?
Well, that should be it.
As soon as they got in the carriage, Lin Cuicui took Shen Qian'an's hand and asked him about his well-being. After returning home, she arranged every little thing in a meticulous manner.
Shen Qian'an wanted to say something, but seeing how nervous his mother looked, he simply kept silent. He thought everything would be fine after a few days.
The next morning, I got up before dawn and sent him to the examination room. This went on for five days and finally it was over.
Shen Li also witnessed the mental state of her parents these days. They were always tense, but she had never seen them like this. It was really not easy for her fourth brother these days.
Shen Li doesn't know now that when she gets married in the future, Shen Changshan and his wife will be even better than they are now.
When he walked out of the examination room on the last day, Shen Qian'an breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was confident, his parents were indeed a little too nervous.
Fortunately, he will not let them down.
Shen Qian'an has already made up his mind. After passing the examination for a student, he will take part in the academy examination and the prefectural examination in April this year, and pass the examination for a scholar, and then continue with his studies step by step.
In this way, the Shen family's status will be completely transformed in the shortest possible time.
Of course, he never thought that he could support the Shen family by himself. Doesn’t he have an older brother?
Big brother has been in the north for a long time. With your martial arts skills, as long as no one steals your military merits, you will definitely be included in the rewards after repelling the Tatars in the future.
In this way, they can support A Li. If she really wants to marry Pei Yu in the future, their Shen family will be Shen Li's confidence.
In the evening, Shen Li took her family to a restaurant for dinner. After being tense for so long, she needed to let them relax.
"Ali, we can just eat at home. The food at home is worse than outside."
Shen Li held Lin Cuicui's arm and said angrily, "Oh, Mom, although the food at home is delicious, we have been eating it for so long, we have to try the delicacies outside!"
Lin Cuicui patted the back of her daughter's hand, knowing that her words were just an excuse. She simply brought the couple here to relax. The child has always been thoughtful.
Shen Changshan: "Okay, if the kid wants to take us out to eat, let her do it."
Lin Cuicui glanced at him, but since she was playing the bad guy here, he had to be the good guy, right?
Just as he was about to turn his gaze back, he saw Shen Changshan trying to please him, and the slight anger in his heart instantly disappeared.
Forget it, we have been married for so many years, how can I not understand him?
The family asked for a private room, and each ordered their favorite dishes. They chatted while waiting for the food to be served. There was plenty of charcoal fire in the room, and listening to the sparse drizzle outside, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After the family finished their meal, it was dark outside, but there were many shops and restaurants on this street, so it was still quite bright.
Because the results had not been announced yet, Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui were anxious staying here, so they simply went back to Daohua Village.
As for Shen Qian'an, he returned to the academy and continued to study with his teacher, not worrying about the outcome of this incident at all.
During the waiting period, Shen Changshan and his wife were completely busy. Sometimes they would just take their hoes and go to the backyard to plow the soil.
Shen Li and Xu Taohua knew how anxious they were and did not try to persuade them. Nothing they said would work at this moment. Only when the results came out would their tense nerves completely relax.
Later, Shen Li took them to stay at the farm for two days. The two of them were busy at the farm. Although they were already in their thirties and approaching forty years old, this period was completely different from before, and they were not as calm as before.
