Chapter 190 Birthday

   "Thanks."

Qiu Sheng helped his mother to sit down, and said in a gentle voice: "Mother, you are tired from traveling and traveling, so you should lie down on the bed and rest for a while, and you have to wait a few hours for the announcement in the afternoon. After you have rested, I will take you out for a walk. Nothing to do."

Liu Zhihua hugged Jiaojiao on her lap, and said with a smile: "We are not tired in the carriage, we have everything at home right now, there is nothing to buy, and the clothes of younger brothers and sisters are enough to wear, but you don't have many clothes. Go out and buy you two sets of brocade clothes."

   When I went upstairs just now, I also saw many students waiting for their grades. Most of the students were dressed in brocade robes, and they were very formally dressed.

  Qiu Sheng was still the cotton gown he bought in the town when he first moved. Although it was neither worn nor worn out, the cotton gown was prone to wrinkles and seemed to be worn out.

  Qiu Sheng didn't care about these things, he shook his head and said to his mother, "The cotton robe is comfortable to wear and absorbs sweat and breathable, but I'm not used to wearing the brocade robe."

  Liu Zhihua shook her head helplessly, "You have something to say, mother, so forget it, rest for a while and go for a walk."

  After seeing my mother finished speaking, Xiao Li couldn't help but looked at his elder brother and asked: "Brother, is the exam difficult?"

  Qiu Sheng had a smile on his face, "It's not too difficult."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Sheng looked at Jiaojiao, and said with some emotion: "The books Jiaojiao gave to elder brother were of great help. The second day's test was all about knowledge that had nothing to do with textbooks. I happened to read it that day. The content related to it was immediately written like a god, and I never encountered any difficulties in the exam."

When Jiaojiao heard that her **** eyes were bright, she was naturally happy to help her elder brother, she nodded and said in a sticky voice: "Elder brother is really amazing, next time if elder brother wants to see something, tell Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao will find it for elder brother." .”

  Qiu Sheng's face showed warmth when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Well, then, brother, thank you Jiaojiao in advance."

  Wang Zhuangzhi and Liu Zhihua's eyes lit up, Wang Zhuangzhi said with a smile: "Then, Qiusheng's grades will definitely be high, isn't it expected to get the ranking?"

   "Well, I think it's not bad, I should be able to enter Tongsheng." Qiu Sheng smiled.

  Parents have been looking forward to such a day for a long time, and he is not humble.

The arrival of Mr. Fu made the number of people in the exam nearly twice as large as before. Students from nearby counties and towns all rushed here. Some of them took part last year. The reason why they came again this year was, without exception, to Master Fu appreciates it.

  There are quite a lot of competitors, although Qiu Sheng also hopes to be appreciated by Mr. Fu, but he is not as anxious as others, because he originally planned to become a child student in the exam, as long as he is within the plan, he will be happy.

  Be down-to-earth, step by step, and set off towards the goal, and you will eventually become the person you want to be.

   This is his attitude.

   As for whether he can catch Mr. Fu's eyes, it depends on luck besides real ability.

let it go.

  Hearing what her son said, Liu Zhihua was very excited, and said with a smile: "Oh, well, since Qiusheng said that, he must be sure."

  Actually, she wanted to ask how the exam was going just now, but she was afraid that Qiu Sheng would not pass the exam, so she refrained from saying it, but she didn't want Qiu Sheng to be so sure of becoming a child student.

  Liu Zhihua smiled openly, hugging Jiaojiao and snickering.

  My son became a boy at the age of thirteen. If he is admitted as a scholar next year, wouldn’t his family also have a master scholar? Such a young master of talent is rare. How glorious is that!

  …

   When noon came,

  Liu Zhihua opened the window and looked out at the scenery outside. Looking at the mother-in-law selling flower buns on the street, her head froze for a moment, and she suddenly remembered that today is Qiusheng's birthday.

  She patted her forehead, and said to everyone: "Oh, look at my memory, the past few days have been messed up, and I don't even remember Qiusheng's birthday."

  Liu Zhihua didn't even remember it for a moment, and Wang Zhuangzhi was even more of a vulgar person. He rubbed the back of his head and said, "Qiusheng likes duck meat and sweet glutinous rice cakes. Let's find a bigger restaurant to eat."

In the past, I was used to living in poverty, and the children didn’t celebrate their birthdays very much. Even if they did, it would be a bowl of longevity noodles with poached eggs. The flowers are steamed at night and everyone eats together, implying the blessing of the birthday star.

   Now that he has money, the dishes made in big restaurants taste better after all, and Wang Zhuangzhi is not stingy about these.

  Liu Zhihua nodded with a smile, "Yes, let's go to a big restaurant to eat. The most important thing is to have fun and have fun. We are not short of this money."

   "Great, let's go to the restaurant to eat today~" Xiao Li happily clapped his hands and applauded.

  Erya was also full of curiosity, and said, "I haven't been to a restaurant yet, so I just went to see what it's like."

  Pink and blush on her petite cheeks, she nodded obediently, "Well, listen to father and mother."

  Seeing that everyone was smiling and looking forward to it, Qiu Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then let's go to the restaurant."

  —

  Wang Zhuangzhi had visited the county town in the past two days. He knew a little about the roads and knew a few restaurants, but he was not a local after all.

   I learned that there is a hundred-year-old restaurant in Xitou, named Yuyuan. It is said that the ancestors were the royal chefs in the palace. They are good at making a thousand-slice duck, which is a famous dish of the restaurant.

  Wang Zhuangzhi heard that Qiusheng just likes to eat duck meat. Isn’t it a coincidence? He immediately took his family to Yuyuan Restaurant.

  —

  After arriving at the restaurant,

The waiter in the shop led them up to the third floor. Wang Zhuangzhi ordered three signature dishes in the shop, and some favorite dishes for the ladies and children. Various flavors of snacks and dried fruit.

   After all, it was Qiusheng's birthday, so he wanted to make the children as happy as possible.

  Qiu Sheng shook his head with a smile after listening to so many dishes. There is no shortage of silver at home now, and he also knew that his father wanted to give him a happy birthday, so he didn't say much.

"Before the food is served, why don't we invite Baokang, who was with Qiusheng, to eat. He took care of Qiusheng's two good meals, so let's invite people to eat together, so that Qiusheng can be lively." Liu Zhihua Suggested with a smile.

   Several children also ate the nougat, and they all nodded in agreement.

  Qiu Sheng scratched his head when he heard the words, and explained in embarrassment: "Mother, but, I don't know where brother Baokang lives."

  Brother Baokang just told him that Uncle Qian bought a new house in the county seat, and they lived here for the past two days. But he didn't ask for the specific address, so he didn't know where he lived.

  Wang Zhuangzhi was a little regretful when he heard the words, and sighed with a smile: "The county is so big, if you don't know the address, it's hard to find it. Then you have to wait until the afternoon when you read the notice, and then find a restaurant for dinner and invite Baokang to eat with you."

  Qiu Sheng nodded, "Yes."

After a pause, he continued: "Brother Baokang's family grew up with rich clothes and fine food, and he may have been tired of these dishes for a long time. He likes to eat snacks from street vendors, and return dry goods and wild foods that he has never seen in the countryside. Fruit, when the time comes, I will ask him if he has time."
