With infinite hatred and a feeling of being humiliated, the fierce woman who almost became a sister-in-law left, leaving behind the adoring eyes of her younger siblings, the approving eyes of the old lady, and the wagging tail of Xiao Huang, it is not worshipping Lu Hanqiang, the master, it wants to drink another bowl of fish soup.
"My son is in good hands, very well, very well."
The old lady didn't lose ten taels of silver at all, but just blamed Lu Hanqiang for fighting for a tone, but praised it in a firm tone.
In my heart, I sighed even more, or adversity creates talents, but in just a few days, it made my son, who could only read and has a weak temperament, not fall down in the face of great disasters and humiliation, but became strong and confident.
The left, the little girl held a broken bowl, stretched out her head and salivated at the broken pot, and looked at Lu Hanqiang pitifully.
"Little girl, don't be too greedy, your brother hasn't eaten a fish yet."
Although the mother was heartbroken, she still whispered to her ignorant daughter.
Lu Hanqiang laughed, but, at that time, he was patronizing and fighting with that, he just drank a few mouthfuls of fish soup, and it was tasteless, and he was really hungry.
Stir twice in the pot with a spoon, scoop up some dry ones, and pour them into Xiaoya's bowl.
The child is still young, and it is the time to be greedy and grow her body, so she should be full if she eats a few bites.
While watching the little girl gobble up the food, she also added hot soup to her mother: "Mother, digging ice and catching fish is a way, and my brother can do it, but this is not a long-term solution." ” The mother folded half of the fish soup in the bowl into Lu Hanqiang's bowl, nodded and said: "This method is good, but it is true that it can only be mixed with food and clothing for a while, and the medicine cannot last long, but we can't go back to our hometown in Shanxi, not to mention that we have spent all the money on our bodies. ” Originally, there was no need to talk about these things to the weak son, but now, seeing the performance of her son just now, her mother began to unconsciously regard Lu Hanqiang as the backbone, and in her heart, she also had the idea of really handing over this family to him.
Lu Hanqiang looked at the towering city of Beijing in the wind and snow, tightened his hands and said, "Go back, not to mention that Shanxi is full of Liukou, and the poles are becoming windy, it is my ambition to become a member of the imperial capital in my previous life, and I will not let myself leave here again."
The capital is there, one step, as long as one step to realize your wishes.
"Mother, you can't go back, as the so-called people move the living tree to die, since you have come to the foot of the Son of Heaven, you have to do something."
Looking at her confident son, the mother smiled with relief: "What my son said is that even if we can go back, it will only be a joke for the neighbors and relatives, and it is better to take root here."
What's more, next year is the time of the big competition, and my son also has to rush to take the exam, which also saves me from going back and forth.
Then study here with peace of mind, this family, or I will take care of it, how will it not let our family starve to death. ” Lu Hanqiang smiled, "Mother, I still take care of the family, as the saying goes, reading first and joining the family can be regarded as a practice for my son."
Seeing what else the mother was going to say, she hurriedly said: "Now we can get a full meal, but it is not a long-term solution after all, so I want to go to the capital tomorrow to see if I can find something to do, after all, we can take root here with a job income." ” "No."
Regarding her son's decision to give up his studies and show up, the old lady immediately expressed her resolute opposition.
"Brother, there's still me at home."
The younger brother took a step forward: "You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and tomorrow I will go to the city to see if there is anyone who wants to help the coolies, and I will definitely be able to earn some rice and grain." ” Heartbroken, he hugged his little brother in his arms, patted his little head and couldn't speak.
The younger brother is only eleven, in that world, whether it is in the city or in the remote mountains, such children are studying on campus and living a life without worrying about food and clothing, but now the younger brother has to go to the city to do hard labor to support his brother, who is not angry, how can he not make Lu Hanqiang's nose sour "There is an eldest brother in the family, how can you suffer and take care of your mother and sister at home is serious, everything has an elder brother."
However, after all, my mother herself is also from a beautiful family, and she has also read books, so she still knows the lessons of the saints who are not as good as traveling thousands of miles by reading thousands of books.
As a result, Lu Hanqiang's decision began to waver, and the opposition was no longer so resolute.
However, looking at his weak son, who is about to face a world that he has never been exposed to, his heart is still full of worry.
Also, in the hearts of all mothers in the world, even if their son is eighty years old, he is still just a child, a little chick who needs to spread his wings to resist jackals, tigers and leopards for him, and cover the wind and rain.
Lu Hanqiang saw his mother's worries, so he smiled hard to show all his teeth, "Make more friends, practice more, watch more and listen more, this is better than sitting at home behind closed doors, isn't it?"
The mother was stunned, but it is good to make more friends, as the so-called multiple friends and multiple roads, this is what the ancients had, and the ancients should be right, so she nodded and said: "It's right to make more friends, and it's good to have more communication between scribes after all." ” "Ahh Lu Hanqiang clapped his hands and praised the wisdom of the old lady loudly, so he said solemnly: "Since you want to make more friends, then you have to make more money, or how can you make friends?"
This truth made the old lady confused at that time, isn't dating according to the ancients, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, how is this related to money "You see, you have to make friends, since you come and go, you have to visit from time to time, although I have a belly full of poetry and books, but empty-handed is not suitable, so I want to bring some snacks and gifts, you see."
Lu Hanqiang spread his hands and looked at this "home" painted with four walls in embarrassment The old lady understood, and couldn't help nodding.
"At the beginning, your father ushered in the send-off, but also to take some gifts, people to visit, but also to return some gifts, the promotion and transfer of colleagues in the same year, but also to send some agenda, especially some admiring scholars come to the door, do not prepare wine and dinner to entertain, before leaving, a plate winding instrument that can not be thin, therefore, this money is indispensable."
The above is good, in fact, those traveling bachelors come to the door, not just for admiration, in fact, the main thing is to eat and live, and then mix some travel expenses before leaving, which is left from the Confucian sage, to visit, to discuss knowledge, this name is very elegant after all.
Yes, something very elegant must be done, or not, you will be indecent.
How difficult it is to change the concept of a mother who wants her son to become a dragon.
Lu Hanqiang felt deeply.
After thinking about it again, the old lady still agreed to Lu Hanqiang's plan to enter Beijing to see the world, and at the same time, she also planned to find a job to prepare for making friends, but she still took Lu Hanqiang's hand, and her eyes were full of worries and worries.
Now that he has obtained his mother's consent, Lu Hanqiang began to prepare for what happened after he left, and the capital was in front of him, but the capital was really good, he really found a job, and not going home for a day or two may be a common situation.
The members of this family, although ideologically speaking, have no half-dime relationship with themselves, but, in terms of real emotions, Lu Hanqiang has long regarded them as his closest relatives, so this concern often lingers in his heart, and he is really worried about his family.
First of all, it is necessary to take advantage of the heavy snow to prepare enough fish for the family to eat for three or two days.
Fortunately, at this time, Beijing's moat is still very wide, in this snowy day, the people in the city are not in the mood to come out and compete with Lu Hanqiang for the ice, so, Lu Hanqiang took a broken sheet, pulled his younger brother to the ice cave he dug in the morning again, measured the distance, calculated a more oxygen-deficient river surface, picked up the firewood knife, drank his younger brother to dig together, and at this time, Xiao Huang was excited to drive the birds on the ice, standing unsteady from time to time, and how far the little butt squatted on the ice and slipped out, after startling a flock of birds, in exchange for the younger brother laughing happily.
The busy Lu Hanqiang couldn't help but be happy when he saw this scene, watching his younger brother who should have been like this playing happily, his heart was full of happiness, as long as he could laugh.
With a lot of effort, a large ice hole appeared on the ice again, and a large school of various fish scrambled to poke their heads out, trying to extinguish them, and greedily breathing in the long-lost air.
"Quick, bring the fence, now we can eat a few days of fatty fish."
Seeing this scene, Lu Hanqiang excitedly called out to his younger brother.
When the younger brother heard this, he gave up playing with Xiao Huang and rushed over, when he saw this scene, after a period of shock, he immediately cheered and picked up the fence and began to fish, even Xiao Huang wanted to pounce on it to help, but when he saw a dense mouth in the dark and heavy ice cave, he was so frightened that the soul was scared, and a spirit, running away from afar, could only squat in the distance to watch the Lu Hanqiang brothers busy. t1706231537:
