Chapter 23 Changes
For several months, Li Si was enthusiastic about cultivation, but unfortunately, except for the small droplets in his body, there was no change in anything else.
However, his homework is getting better and better. At this time, he doesn't care about hiding his weaknesses. He is apart from being more low-key in front of other classmates. He usually doesn't restrain himself when he asks for advice. So when he hears that he wants to give up next year, Master Zhang does not object.
Although Mr. Zhang was very hopeful about whether Li Si could pass the exam or not, after all, he was still young, but he still supported him to try it out. It was to increase his experience and feel the atmosphere of the scientific examination. Knowing where the gap lies, maybe he could get a better ranking next time.
It is worth mentioning that since Li Congwen was attacked in the last exam, he has begun to work hard. It seems like he has changed someone. If it weren't for the same habit as before, Li Si would have thought that Li Congwen had been traveling through time like him!
Now there is no need for others to urge him. Li Congwen is not only serious in class every day. Except for occasionally going out for a walk with Li Si, he stays at home and reads books seriously at other times.
However, the Wei family was very pleased, but the Li family and the Guo County Magistrate's family really made enemies this time. Fortunately, the Guo County Magistrate was too confident and thought that the Li family was just an ordinary businessman and could not do anything to them, so he did not interfere with the Li family anymore.
Otherwise, the Li family's business in Taohua County would not be so easy to do. As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Because the Li family cannot do anything to the magistrate Guo County, they just keep their resentment towards the magistrate Guo and his son in their hearts.
Time flies, and the New Year is coming soon, and another year is about to pass. The school is already on holiday. It is early this year, and the New Year will be celebrated before the end of January.
The county examination was scheduled to start in mid-February, and registration was one month in advance. It was not until Li Si said he would go to Sun Linsheng with Li Congwen to find him as a security guard that everyone knew that Li Si would also end this time.
Li Si then realized that he seemed to have not told anyone about this except for telling Master Zhang.
"Siwa, you want to take the exam too? Can you do it?" Li Dahai looked at Li Si with some doubts.
Li Si looked dark. Although he looked just a little baby, he was now a little man, right? He didn't like to hear others say he was not good at it, right?
It’s a pity that Li Dahai is an elder. Li Si pretended to be embarrassed and lowered his head and whispered: “Uncle, I have asked the Master, and the Master said I can try it this year. It doesn’t matter if I can’t pass it. Just think it’s to increase my experience and feel the atmosphere of the exam room.”
"Okay, since Master Zhang said that, let's go together!" Although Li Guangwu didn't have much contact with Li Si, he also knew that Li Si was good at studying and was often praised by Master in school. He also worked very hard at home, studied until late every day, and rarely went out to play. He was a good child.
Li Guangwu took two children, then loaded a cart of gifts, got on the carriage and set off. Li Siren was young but thoughtful and knew that he had to bring gifts to visit the students, so he had already bought gifts.
However, Li Si ignored that he was only eight years old and had no parents around him, and multiple gifts were just a matter of money.
He gave up dozens of taels, not to mention just a few taels. Li Si lived in the Li family for more than a year, and it was almost two years. So Li Guangwu said that he would not let Li Si take him, but asked Wei to bring him another gift.
Li Si had to compromise, but he remembered this love in his heart, thinking that he would pay it back if he had the chance in the future.
Li Guangwu was familiar with the two and knocked on Sun Linsheng's door. Although Sun Ziming was a student of Linsheng, he had a 70-year-old mother and a wife and children at home. His subsidy was not enough. Fortunately, he usually took on some private work and was insured every year, and gave more generous gifts, which was indeed a large amount of income.
Because of Master Zhang's introduction and Li Guangwu came here once last year, he was considered an acquaintance, so he quickly got it done.
Seeing Sun Ziming's short figure, he was so ordinary that he was not even a passerby. Li Si thought he was really not good at being a good person. Although he looked very ordinary, he was talented! It is said that he was not old, he was only in his thirties, so he could go up and walk.
With Li Guangwu here, Li Si didn't have to worry about anything. He just waited for the day of the exam to arrive. So after the school officially closed, Li Si said goodbye to Li Dahai and his family and embarked on the way home.
"What? Are you going to take the exam?" Old Gu was surprised at the beginning when he heard what Li Si said, but then he was even more surprised. "Oh my little grandson! Grandma knew that you were the most powerful. After the New Year, you were only nine years old! Then wouldn't you be a nine-year-old scholar?"
"Yes, mom, you have to know that the youngest scholar in our entire town was only 12 years old when we passed the exam! Our four kids are really a little genius!" Unexpectedly, the one who praised Li Si was Chen Qiqiao, who had always had a lot of opinions about him.
Li Si looked at the flattering smile on the face of the second aunt with a big belly. He didn't expect that Chen Qiqiao would treat him better now than his mother.
Of course, Li Si knew that it must be the secret recipe. You should know that the liquor was very popular once it was launched, especially for some men with good liquor. Moreover, the cost was low, and the price they sold was not expensive, but the quantity was increased.
The family's conditions have improved, and she is planning to build a new house after the New Year! With the improvement of living conditions at home, Chen Qiqiao has become aware of it. And she knows that this secret recipe was taken out by Li Si, so she is naturally very kind to Li Si.
However, Li Meihua, as Li Si's mother, has not changed her attitude towards Li Si at all, and is still so indifferent. Fortunately, Li Si has no affection for her, otherwise she would not have been sad to death.
"Okay, I am worthy of being the child of our old Li family. By the way, what gifts do grandpa have to give? How much money is needed? Grandpa will give it to you." Li Dashan saw his grandson calm and looked like a little adult. For some reason, he had a premonition that his child would definitely be admitted to the scholar.
"Thank you, grandpa. When I return to Taohua County after the New Year, you can pack some gifts for me to my uncle's house! It was a gift from Uncle Guangwu for me."
"Oh, okay, your uncle and grandpa's family are really good people! Siwo! If you really make a fortune in the future, don't forget the kindness of your uncle and grandpa's family to you!" Li Dashan instructed earnestly.
"Yes, grandpa, grandson will not forget."
