Chapter 387: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man (3)
"Okay, go feed the detoxification pills to the brother and sister."
Then he got up and went to the backyard, collected a few buckets of water, and asked Xiaojuzi to detoxify him.
The original owner's eldest son Dunzi came back this time because the teacher said he was very talented and could try his luck this year.
Speaking of giving it a try, Shuangshuang also thought about it carefully. She didn't know when the clip came out. Should her son still take the exam?
"Xiaojuzi, do you think I should let him take the exam?"
"Let's go anyway. We don't know the exact time of the escape anyway."
"Okay, then let him take the exam.
The teacher said that the student didn't have to worry at all, and the scholar could also do something.
If he really passes the exam to become a scholar by the end of March, I can go to the academy in the prefectural capital with him to study, and then I won’t have to worry even if I have to flee from famine.”
"you're right!"
When Shuangshuang thought about the fact that her son would go to the county to take the examination for the tongsheng degree in a few days, she had no time to think about anything else.
This time when Xu Zhexing came back, his husband gave him a special leave so that he could come back to discuss matters with his family and get a household registration certificate.
Now Shuangshuang didn't have time to think about anything else. She quickly got up, put on her clothes, and shouted outside.
"Dunzi!"
The name Xu Shudun was given by Xu Dashan back then. The farmer family is simple and the name they chose is very down-to-earth.
But when he went to private school, the teacher said that the name was too common, so he gave him Xu Zhexing, and Xu Shudun became the child's nickname.
"Hey! Mom, what's the matter?"
Xu Zhexing hurried to Shuangshuang's door, just in time to see his mother running out in a hurry.
Worried that Shuangshuang wasn't fully recovered yet, he quickly supported her.
"Mom, let's talk slowly, don't be impatient."
"Oh, why don't you be so anxious! You came back this time to take the exam and ask the village chief to get your household registration certificate.
Hurry up and help me up. We are going to the village chief's house now. We need to get things done quickly. You still need to go back to the academy."
"mother……"
Xu Zhexing looked a little hesitant and didn't know how to talk to Shuangshuang.
After all, they were both so sad that they fainted, which really scared him.
"what happened?"
"Mother, you are not allowed to take the imperial examination during the period of mourning."
They both rolled their eyes, thinking it was some big deal.
"That's the way it should be, but your father hasn't been confirmed dead yet."
"But, they all said..."
"They said they only heard about your son. As long as your father's name is not on the imperial obituary, then your father is not dead!
We can’t build a tomb for him, let alone hold any kind of mourning for him, you know?”
"But just in case..."
"Nothing will happen, I believe your father will come back safely!
Even if something happens, it is the court's mistake and has nothing to do with us, do you understand?
Let's go, take the things Mom bought at the market, and go to the clan leader's house and the village chief's house first."
Since Shuangshuang has made up her mind to let him take the exam, how could she let him back out?
Xu Zhexing stood there and thought for a while. He felt that what his mother said was right, so he immediately decided to listen to her.
The mother and son carried their things and went out, telling Bonnie something before leaving.
"Be sure to lock the door."
The mother and son then slowly walked to the home of the Xu family's patriarch.
He took out a bag of dried dates and a piece of cloth and placed them on the table, then explained his purpose to the patriarch.
When the clan leader heard that Xu Zhexing was only twelve years old this year and the teacher was willing to let him go, he was so happy that his beard twitched.
With a wave of his hand, he agreed directly. After all, he was a descendant of his family. If he had a promising future, it would be the glory of his family!
The clan leader then asked Xu Zhexing, "Are you sure of the outcome this time?"
But I also feel that it is inappropriate to ask this question. After all, the child is about to take the exam. If you ask this question again, aren’t you deliberately making the child panic?
So he quickly changed his words and said, "But I think I'm sure of it, after all, the teacher said you can do it.
Do you have enough money for the exam? If not, please tell us and we will help you make up for it. You can't leave empty-handed, okay?
Xu Zhexing blushed and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Clan Leader. My mother has already prepared everything for me."
"That's good, that's good," he said, and then he picked up the things on the table and returned them to Shuangshuang.
"Dashan family, take the things, I will go with you to the village chief's house."
"Uncle clan leader, look at what you said. This is our son's gift to you. How can we take it back? The village chief's niece and his wife have also prepared it. You don't have to worry."
The patriarch nodded with satisfaction at his niece-in-law and did not ask her to take the things back.
Anyway, there are so many more imperial examinations to come, so just help out more in the future.
However, thinking about the difficulties Shuangshuang had gone through over the years, the old patriarch, who rarely praised others, praised her for the first time.
"You are a capable person. Dunzi has achieved what he has today thanks to you as his mother.
Don’t be anxious, when our son becomes successful in the future, you will have the blessing to enjoy in the future.”
"Thank you, Chief Patriarch, for your kind words!"
The clan leader brought Shuangshuang and Dunzi to the village chief's house. As soon as they entered the door, Shuangshuang put the gifts on the table and explained their purpose to the village chief.
"It's like this, Village Chief. My son Dunzi's teacher said that he can try out this year, so I want you to get a household registration certificate for this child."
The village chief was very generous and waved his hand, "What's the use of asking for help? Our Dunzi has a promising future, and we are all happy for him!"
Then he asked, "Which other places did you go to?"
"This... I'm ashamed to say this, it's all my fault that my body is not doing well.
I originally came back yesterday for this matter, but I was delayed.
That’s why you’re here at our clan leader’s house, and you were just about to go to the village head’s house.”
"Go ahead. The village head is very reasonable. He won't make things difficult for you."
In fact, people of this age all have a strong sense of nostalgia for their hometown.
What everyone cares about is that everyone shares the same honor, and this honor does not only include people with the same surname as themselves, but also people with other surnames in the same village.
If someone in the village becomes successful, the whole village will be honored.
When people talk about someone in their village who has great potential, they say that everyone in their village has great potential.
The village chief quickly printed out the household registration certificate, signed his name and stamped it with his personal seal.
Before the family walked out the door, the village chief said something else.
"Dashan family, we must always look forward.
Dashan's name isn't on the imperial court bulletin, which means he's safe. You must take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Village Chief. I've come to terms with it now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Dunzi for reference."
Next is the headman's house, and there are two families with different surnames in the same village, one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Li.
Because there are regulations for household registration certificates, one must have lived in their village for a certain number of years to be eligible to sign.
I specifically went to the homes of these two respected elders and asked them for help.
The two of them didn't say much. They accepted Shuangshuang's things and signed their names. However, they didn't have private seals, so they used fingerprints.
