Chapter 122 Going to the City to Take the Exam
The children had no objection to Su Anton's arrangement, nor did they dare to refute it. They all knew clearly in their hearts that Su Anton did this for their own good, and he didn't want them to have regrets when they thought about this exam in the future.
Even if we fail to succeed in something we have done our best, we will not have such a big regret when we look back on it in the future. After all, we have tried our best.
Su Zhihao, who was usually the least studious, became the most studious among the seven people. It can be said that apart from his daily morning exercises, sleeping, eating, and going to the toilet, Su Zhihao completely immersed himself in the pile of books.
The other people also felt pressured when seeing Su Zhihao like this, and tried hard to follow Su Zhihao's pace, not wanting to fall behind.
What they don't know is that in modern times, Su Zhihao is very good at preparing for the final exam. Whenever there is an important exam, he will feel a sense of urgency and start studying like crazy.
Su Zhihao was confident about the county exam, so he was not in a hurry. But he was not so confident about the upcoming prefectural exam, so he started his usual crazy study mode.
Su An Dong knew about his son's habit and was very satisfied with the learning atmosphere created by Su Zhihao.
They were busy studying, and the spring ploughing season had also begun in Daxi Village. During the days of spring ploughing, Su Andong gave the students of the academy a ten-day holiday. Of course, the seven students who were taking the exam did not have this holiday.
As early as after the Chinese New Year, Su Anton bought 50 acres of wasteland, 20 acres of dry land and 10 acres of paddy fields.
When the weather warmed up and it was possible to work in the fields, Su Anton hired people from Daxixi Village to reclaim the land.
The other seven families who came with the Su family either worked in vermicelli workshops or in shops in the county. Even the women were busy making clothes for the Su family. Apart from the children, there was no one to spare. So Su Anton hired people from Daxi Village to open up wasteland for his family.
During the spring ploughing season, the Su family gave the workers in the vermicelli workshop a ten-day holiday so that they could all go home and do the ploughing.
Because Su Anping and Su Ankang were both busy in the county, and Su Andong was busy supervising the children to study, the responsibility of the Su family's spring plowing fell on Su Anyuan.
Fortunately, the Su family is not short of money now, and the spring ploughing is mainly done by hiring people, so he can still handle it. Su Anton will also help when he has time.
After the spring plowing was over, it was mid-April and the provincial examination was approaching.
After studying for this period of time, except for Su Zhihao, the others were all a little tired.
Seeing Su Zhihao still full of energy, several people admired him. They also couldn't help but sigh: He is really gifted!
A few days later, Su An Dong took the initiative to give them two days off. This was mainly to let them have a good rest and relax. They didn't have Su Zhihao's physique, so they didn't want to get sick from exhaustion before the exam.
After the two-day holiday and a few more days of classes, Su Anton took the children to the capital. The date of travel was chosen with the weather conditions predicted by Mrs. Su.
Zhou Lizheng, Zhou Lao Da and Su Zhiyuan also went with him. They thought that if there were more people, they would be able to take care of him if something happened.
This time, Su Anton accompanied her to the exam and did not give the school a holiday. Instead, he gave the teaching task to Su Yuanyuan.
Before Su An Dong left, he had asked Su Yuanyuan to take his place in a class. During this class, he was always by Su Yuanyuan's side to support her.
After Su Yuanyuan finished the class, Su Anton said to the students, "I taught my daughter. I know her knowledge very well. It will be no problem for her to teach you. During the few days I am away, she will temporarily take over the class."
After hearing this, Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but complain in her heart: Dad! You really didn't teach me this knowledge.
After this class, the students have seen Su Yuanyuan's ability and believe what Su Anton said. After all, it is reasonable for a teacher to teach such a capable daughter.
Although they were somewhat unwilling to let a little girl be their teacher, they thought it would only be for a few days, so they just had to make do with it!
When he arrived at the city, Su An Dong found a nice inn and rented a small courtyard, which made it convenient for the children to continue their studies.
In the past few days, Su An Dong was very concerned about their diet, fearing that they would get upset and delay the exam. For this reason, when he came to the city, he specially brought two charcoal stoves and enough charcoal. Most of the time, they would buy vegetables and cook their own meals in the yard.
There were no female relatives with them, and Su An Dong was not a person who insisted on keeping away from the kitchen. He would cook for himself when he had time. If Su An Dong didn't care about cooking for himself, why should others care about it? So they all cooked.
But it must be said that the food they cooked was not as delicious as Su An Dong's. Su An Dong was not very satisfied with their cooking skills. In his spare time teaching the children, he also taught a few people how to cook. After all, he really didn't want to treat his stomach badly. And if the food was not delicious, it would also affect the children's appetite.
The others naturally knew that what they cooked was not very delicious, but it was not good if they did not know it! As long as it was not delicious, Su An Dong would go out and buy more food without hesitation.
In order to prepare for the logistics of this exam, several people learned to cook very seriously.
At this time in Daxi Village, Su Yijia blocked Zhou Shun. Su Yijia had paid attention to Zhou Shun's daily route for a long time, so that she could successfully block Zhou Shun today.
Zhou Shun has been working in the vermicelli workshop. The Su family's vermicelli workshop is now managed by Su Anyuan, and Zhou Shun is Su Anyuan's most capable subordinate.
Before Su Anyuan and Zhou Shun joined the army, they were of similar age and grew up together, so they had always had a good relationship. After taking care of each other during their escape from famine, their relationship has become stronger and stronger.
Zhou Shun is smart, hardworking, and good at dealing with people. He has been helping Su Anyuan run the vermicelli workshop. Otherwise, Su Anyuan would not have been able to go to the capital city without any pressure this time.
Every day after work at the vermicelli workshop, Zhou Shun was always the last person to leave. These days, Su Anyuan was not at home, so Zhou Shun left a little later than usual. And to return to Zhou's house from the vermicelli workshop, he had to pass by Su's house.
It was based on this point that Su Yijia was able to stop Zhou Shun so smoothly. She stopped Zhou Shun halfway between the vermicelli workshop and her home.
Zhou Shun was a little confused when he was blocked. He thought it was a coincidence, so he tried to stagger his steps and avoid Su Yijiajia.
Unexpectedly, no matter which direction he went, Su Yijia would block him. If he didn't realize that Su Yijia was blocking him intentionally, he would be really stupid.
