BXBX NOVEL Chapter 119 Arriving at the College Entrance Examination
The villagers watched his back as he ran off. Everyone more or less knew about Lei Daqiang\'s family\'s situation. Just because Lei Xiangyi and his wife didn\'t have a son, they had almost no status in the family. This cleaning of the silt had already been going on for three days, and it was Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee who had switched places with them. Lei Xiangyi was definitely looking forward to having a son.
After the sun set, the river\'s temperature dropped even further. Standing barefoot in the muddy water that engulfed her calves, a bone-chilling cold spread from her soles and calves to her entire body, causing her to uncontrollably shiver.
Precinct Head raised his voice and shouted: "Alright, that\'s all for today."
As if granted amnesty, the villagers, carrying their own shovels and baskets or buckets of mud, scurried ashore and rushed home, desperately needing a basin of hot water to soak their feet.
When Lei Tia went ashore, Uncle Fu and Lei Qinle immediately took the shovel and bucket from him.
Returning to Leisurely Dwelling House, Lei Tia washed his muddy feet and legs briefly by the pond before walking towards the house.
Qin Mian was reading a book at the entrance of the living room. Seeing his figure, he put down the book in his hands and went to the kitchen to bring some hot water into the bathroom before pouring it into the bath barrel.
Lei Tia heard the commotion in the bathroom and stood at the door watching as Qin Mian bent over to test the water\'s temperature. He walked over and hugged him from behind.
"Wifey."
Qin Mian did not turn back, the corners of his lips curled up, and he took out a few Spirit Spring Water s from his spatial space to pour into the bathtub, "Let\'s take a bath first. I\'ll get you some clothes. "
Lei Tia wanted to hug his a little longer, so he looked down to see the dirt on his body, and released his arms.
Qin Mian closed the bathroom door and went into the room on the second floor. He opened the wardrobe and took out Lei Tia\'s i
er clothes, a set of clothes, a silver black robe, a vest and a pair of thick socks. The shoe rack was next to the stairs, and he took out a clean pair of cotton shoes.
After returning to the first floor, he knocked on the bathroom door and pushed it open. He placed his clothes and shoes on a chair and looked at the person in the tub. "You\'ve been standing in the cold water for too long. You\'ll wake up later."
Lei Tia nodded, revealing only his head and neck, as well as his wet hair that weakened the dull and cold aura he had during the day.
Qin Mian wanted to laugh. He walked over, hugged his arms as he laid on the edge of the bucket, and teased: "I want to see a beautiful man come out for a bath."
The muscles on Lei Tia\'s face twitched imperceptibly, he paused for a moment, and with a serious expression he said, "A mandarin duck bath is better."
"Yuan Li..." Mandarin duck bath! Qin Mian\'s face immediately turned hot, he ran and closed the door to the bathroom.
He ran so fast that he didn\'t see a faint but charming smile on the lips of his family\'s man.
When Lei Tia came out, he was fully dressed as he placed the tableware on the table. He walked into the kitchen and picked up the piping hot Corn Ribs Soup, "My wife, Precinct Head said that it will be completed by the afternoon."
"It\'s time to finish it. We\'ve been soaking in the icy river for three or four days already." Qin Mian carried a dish in each of his hands as he walked out, "This is the first time this year, so it\'s not good to create special situations.
"Don\'t worry," Lei Tia said as he lowered his head and gave his a kiss, "I have primeval essence with me, so I\'m not afraid of the cold. There\'s one more thing. "
"What is it?" Qin Mian asked as he scooped the rice.
"Madam Qian is delighted."
"Is that so? This is a good thing. " Qin Mian was a little happy, "If only she could have a son this time. Thinking about how Lei Xiangren and his wife used to be so cocky with their two sons, I got a
oyed. We\'ll go over in a bit and give them some good stuff. "
Lei Tia naturally nodded, it was completely meaningless.
After di
er, the two went to the old house together. Qin Mian carried a wind lantern in his hand, and in his left hand he carried an old hen, and in his right hand he carried a basket of pomegranates, several pears, and two bags of snacks that he had just picked.
The people from the old house had eaten di
er and were sitting in the yard.
Madam Wei was already seven months old, and with her big belly, her figure was a little out of shape. Her face was a little fat, but not ugly. Lei Daqiang sat together with her, smiling merrily as she looked at her stomach. A lot of old people said it might be a son. In three months he would have many fat sons.
Maidservant Xiao Xi stood respectfully behind Madam Wei, waiting for her orders.
The Madam Du sat opposite of Lei Daqiang. He was staring at the Madam Wei\'s stomach with a gloomy expression.
Lei Xiangren and Mrs Zhao sat on the other side, while Mrs Zhao peeled the melon seeds for Lei Dabao and Lei Er Bao. Lei Xiangren held up the melon seeds in his hands, and the sound of them being eaten sounded like mice.
Lei Xianglee and Lei Chuntao sat together as they whispered to each other.
Lei Xiangyi hugged Lei Xinxin and sat right next to the Madam Qian, laughing foolishly as he looked at her. Madam Qian held her stomach with her right hand, as she drooped her head bashfully.
"Who doesn\'t seem to be pregnant." Mrs Zhao muttered as her right hand unconsciously touched her abdomen. Ever since she gave birth to Er Bao, her stomach hadn\'t moved at all. It would be good if she could have a son.
"Boss and boss\'s wife are here." Madam Wei was the first to see Qin Mian and Lei Tia.
Qin Mian asked out of politeness, "How have I been recently?"
Madam Wei stroked her bulging stomach, her face emitting a maternal radiance. She said gently: "Thank you for your concern.
Lei Daqiang had been wearing a dark face when he and Lei Tia entered the door, and didn\'t pay any attention to them.
Lei Dabao and Lei Er Bao saw the basket in Lei Tia\'s hands and their eyes lit up. They were afraid of Lei Tia\'s power and only glanced at him timidly, not daring to approach him.
Lei Tia walked over to Lei Xiangyi and handed the thing over to him.
Qin Mian smiled and nodded towards Lei Xiangyi. "Third brother, third sister, congratulations, these things will help third sister heal."
Lei Xiangyi accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, big brother."
"Big brother and sister-in-law are quite considerate." Madam Qian stood up, she was courteous to Qin Mian and Lei Tia, her bright eyes had a sense of exaltation and fulfillment. Although she didn\'t know whether this was a male or a female, she was still pregnant before the Zhao family.
The Madam Du extended her hand towards Lei Xiangyi, "Ol \'Three, give it to me. I\'ll kill it tomorrow and boil soup for your wife."
Lei Xiangyi did not move, "Mother, I will keep it, I will make a stew for my wife tomorrow."
"Third brother, what would a grown man like you cook? Just leave it to Mother. " Mrs Zhao interrupted.
"I don\'t know how to stew, I\'ll learn. "There\'s no need for mother and sister-in-law to worry about it." Although Lei Xiangyi was smiling as he spoke, his eyes carried a bit of coldness.
Qin Mian turned a blind eye to the situation. "You guys continue chatting, we\'re going back."
Not long after Qin Mian and Lei Tia left, Lei Xiangyi stood up and said to the Madam Qian: "Wifey, I remembered that Big Brother told me a few days ago to deliver a batch of dishes to the Shuangzhuan Restaurant. I\'ll go ask him when it\'s appropriate to send you off. "
Madam Qian smiled warmly, "Hubby, go ahead."
Lei Xiangyi left the courtyard and quickly caught up with Qin Mian and Lei Tia.
"Big brother, sister-in-law," Lei Xiangyi said directly. "Fifth Brother said that he would help me and Fourth Younger Brother to split up after the Academy Exam.
Lei Tia nodded his head lightly, indicating him to speak.
"When the time comes, we will split up. My wife and I want to move out. "But ??" Lei Xiangyi\'s face was slightly red, "We don\'t have much money on us, so we want to ask you guys to borrow some. We can pay it back after we sell the charcoal. "
Lei Tia looked at Qin Mian; Lei Xiangyi also looked at him with teasing eyes.
Qin Mian glared at Lei Tia angrily. What do you mean? Could it be that he would not allow Lei Tia to decide such a small matter?
Lei Tia caressed his head and asked, "How much?"
Lei Xiangyi replied: "Five taels is enough."
Qin Mian said straightforwardly: "Third brother, you go and get the money tomorrow. We\'ll lend you 10 taels. If you have any extra money, you can give it to Third Sister-in-Law to recuperate. I\'m not in a hurry to return the money, I\'ll return it once I have more money. "
Lei Xiangyi\'s eyes reddened as he said gratefully: "Thank you, sister-in-law and brother."
As they were both Lei Tia\'s younger brothers, Qin Mian couldn\'t be so biased. He added, "You can secretly mention this matter to Fourth Younger Brother. If you guys are going to split up and he wants to go live with you, we can lend him some money. "
Lei Xiangyi sighed: "Fourth Younger Brother and I have let Sis and Big Bro worry about us."
"Alright, let\'s go back." Qin Mian waved his hands casually.
As the sky darkened, Lei Tia took out a fire piston from his bosom. After lighting a lantern, he took the lantern from Qin Mian\'s hand and held his other hand.
A speck of firelight was drifting in the dim night sky, tranquil and leisurely.
"Is it so good to do it in broad daylight?" Qin Mian shook their hands.
Lei Tia said: "There\'s a pit in the ground."
Qin Mian raised his eyebrows. Even if he had not walked this road a hundred times, he had at least walked this road 80 times. However, the man\'s palm was very warm, so he didn\'t want to let go.
"Shouldn\'t we express ourselves after the Fifth Brother\'s Academy Competition?"
Lei Tia thought for a while, "Pay up?"
Qin Mian glanced at him with a smile, "Vulgar." However, I can\'t think of anything suitable to give him, so I might as well give him another set of ink and paper. "
In mid-October, the day of the Academy Competition arrived. The Academy Competition was held at the Clear Cloud Academy and was hosted by the government sent from the city. There were two examinations in total, one for each day.
Lei Daqiang brought along Madam Du and Lei Xianglee and stayed in the city for a day ahead of time. During the Academy examination, they would accompany the examinees to take their exams outside the Academy.
Qin Mian Family was busy fishing for the fish in the pond and did not go with them. In order to not let the people of the house think that they were not interested in, Qin Mian gave him five taels of silver, and also offered to pay for Lei Daqiang\'s, Madam Du\'s, and Lei Xianglee\'s living expenses in the county ?? ?? giving Lei Daqiang five taels of silver.
