10. Chapter 10
Early the next morning, chickens and dogs began to jump in the Hu Mansion, and no one intended to cause trouble, but living together, where could there be a mouthful that did not touch the skin?
"Okay, what's all the noise?!"
Father Hu is an experienced man in the end, in the face of this trivial matter caused by the discord between wives and concubines, he has a little intention of turning a blind eye, seeing that they are arguing fiercely, he snorted coldly, interrupted their meaningless lawsuit with a little impatience, took out the majesty of the head of the family, and ordered the housekeeper here to buy the things he needed immediately.
The request was satisfied, and the sixth aunt stopped making trouble immediately, she was still very understanding at some times, and immediately ran to Father Hu to be gentle and gentle, and regardless of the fact that her teenage son was still on the side, she began to sell coquettishly to Father Hu.
There are few women who come over with Father Hu, and the eldest lady remains dignified and does not move, which makes the sixth aunt too much like an interpreter flower, even if the matter is still caused by her, but the eldest lady's iron-faced selflessness is also a little too ruthless.
I don't know if Father Hu thinks so, he was too crooked by the sixth aunt, but he laughed again and promised something else, which was not important, just some clothes and jewelry and other things.
It can be seen that although Hu's father's escape this time was in a hurry, his family background still did not lose much, and the confidence revealed between his words made everyone's hearts feel at ease again, and even Hu Xiu and Hu Shanghui began to beg for things not to be outdone.
Hu Shangmin smiled, and also asked for some things with such a good atmosphere, all of them were books for study, and they also wanted things, but because the things were different, they were much taller for a while.
In the past, if this was the case, the most undesirable should be Hu Shangrong, he must have been the first to follow in the footsteps of the sixth aunt to ask for something, but now he didn't say a word, sat quietly at the long dining table, and ate the sandwich that had been on the table for a long time.
"What's wrong with you these two days? listless, aren't you scared?" The sixth aunt was still more attentive to her son, she didn't say anything at the time, and then came over to talk to her son.
When he spoke, he naturally reached out and touched Hu Shangrong's hair, and he didn't notice that his son stiffened for a moment before he couldn't help but dodge, and let her hand fall on his head.
To be honest, he can think of a world that changes instantaneously in his thoughts, but in practice, let an adult, who has always been the head of the family, suddenly become a child under someone else's knees, and feel the comfort of mother's love, Hu Shangrong is still a little uncomfortable, but he covers it up well, and the acting skills obtained from this "second familiar" do not let others see more wrong.
"No, no, not scared. Hu Shangrong said this, and avoided the arms of the sixth aunt a little awkwardly.
The sixth aunt didn't care too much, boys, when they grow up, they won't be too close to their mother, sitting next to their son, holding his hand and saying, "What do you want?" Tell your mother, and your mother will definitely ask you for it." ”
doesn't ask whether it's right or wrong at all, as long as her son wants it, she will give it to her son, the sixth aunt's attitude makes Hu Shangrong cry and laugh, does she think she is pretentious and wants something?
Hu Shangrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, I want to study abroad, I don't want to study in that university." ”
In this era, there are already universities, and the admission standards are not so strict, the conditions of the Hu family, except for Hu Shanghui, who is too young, cannot go to university, Hu Shangmin and Hu Shangrong are both reserve college students, just wait for two days to go to school.
Such an easy admission is not bad, and at this time, the university is modeled after foreign colleges and universities, there is no ugly school uniform, and there are no heavy academic exams or anything, and even because of the occasional current affairs news, the students in the school can still make a noise, and there are various organizations in the school to absorb talents, as long as there is talent, they will soon be able to shine and leave their own names in this era.
Logically, this should be excellent, but ...... Thinking of the bloody case in history, even if the city has never really been immersed in the flames of war, Hu Shangrong does not want to sleep here, and always feels that foreign countries are more stable.
It's not that he admires the foreign, it's just an instinctive tendency to avoid evil, he never feels that he has the ability to reverse the times, and in the process of alternating between the two eras, it is difficult for him to escape the fate of being crushed.
There is no matter of the Hu family after Hu Shangrong's death in the plot, but just looking at who the government is now in power, you know that the Hu family may not end well in the end, even if Hu's father is prescient, the subsequent "speculation" is also a crime that cannot be escaped, let alone others, so ......
It's just someone else, the sixth aunt, you really should hide.
The sixth aunt who has no son is not so smart, can she live well under the control of the eldest wife? Hu Shangrong has never been so naïve.
"Mother, I want to study abroad, you accompany me to study abroad! Hu Shangrong's current age and knowledge means that he can't say more truths, who would believe that the teenager who was digging a pit in the flower garden a few days ago would suddenly understand the truth of the country's survival, so ......
"Brother Rong, who brought you here? Did you hear the crooked words somewhere? Why do you think of saying that?"
Even if it is such a naïve word, it still sounds a little too much to the sixth aunt, she feels that someone wants to use this matter to drive away their mother and son, she can see clearly, it is impossible for the master to leave the country, so "going abroad" is equivalent to "leaving the master", and what is the difference between "leaving the master" and being driven away?
Being driven away is equivalent to having no home, it is equivalent to having no source of livelihood, and the sixth aunt would never do that, so after forcing her son to find out who was the initiator, the sixth aunt persuaded Hu Shangrong and explained the benefits of the university he was going to.
The real benefit is that the sixth aunt doesn't know much about it, she just needs to know that this is the school that the eldest wife's son, Hu Shangmin, is also going to.
Since then, she has relied on this "weather vane" to follow the eldest lady steadily and ruthlessly, so she was not left behind when she fled, and later did things even more blindly, which caused the original owner to copy this model and follow it all.
It's a pity that Hu Shangmin is too smart, or the original owner is too easy to be fooled, and he can't become an anti-dog, in the same school, Hu Shangmin has made contacts that can be used, but he only got a bunch of fox friends and dog friends, and even some snobs.
Thinking of this, Hu Shangrong became more and more determined not to go to that school, but the sixth aunt couldn't make sense here, so he aimed at Father Hu.
This time, it was not unprepared, he investigated in advance what foreign universities in this era are, and the advantages and disadvantages of each can be known from some familiar names, but more needs to be actually understood.
After the comparison, he went to a famous school on the grounds that he wanted to study mechanical engineering.
The cost of studying in domestic universities and foreign universities is completely different, and with the conditions of the Hu family, it is also necessary to consider one or two, Hu's father pondered again and again, and did not immediately agree to Hu Shangrong's request.
Hu Shangrong didn't dare to urge, he didn't have any special expressions before, and it was already incredible to suddenly love learning, not to mention that he suddenly wanted to learn mechanical manufacturing that he had never been exposed to before, and everyone would feel that there was a problem, if he hadn't made a chart of the advantages and disadvantages of each school and brought it over, I am afraid that Father Hu would directly refuse and drive him out of the study.
It's good to be able to think about it now.
When the sixth aunt knew about this, she hurriedly came over and asked: "You are asking for your mother's life, is someone driving you? Why do you have to go abroad, is there no room for our mother and son in this family?"
Hu Shangrong, who was stopped in the living room, was a little embarrassed, this kind of crying and scolding Huai really didn't know how to deal with it.
Hu Xiu next to him couldn't hold his breath: "What nonsense are you talking about, what does the fourth brother think, what does it have to do with others? Maybe he was frightened by the guns, so he wanted to go abroad, what are you rambling about?"
The eldest lady pulled Hu Xiu and didn't allow her to say any more, and at the same time protected her behind her, blocking the sixth aunt's gaze.
The sixth aunt was too dissatisfied, but because of the eldest lady, she glanced at her mouth and muttered loudly: "I don't know who was scared, my son didn't cry all the way!-Brother Rong, tell me, who didn't let you stay at home?"
Hu Shangrong was very helpless about the sixth aunt's firm "murder theory", but he was also ready to say his thoughts: "Mother, I really want to go abroad to study, what can I learn at home? Those moral essays, is to write flowers, can I block the gun or can I block the cannon? I no longer want to be powerless to flee in the face of guns, I want to hold the guns myself, so that they don't dare to shoot at me." ”
"The fourth brother said that he should be a soldier. Hu Shangmin interjected with a smile.
As soon as the sixth aunt heard about "being a soldier", she took Hu Shangrong's hand and tightened it: "Brother Rong won't be a soldier, the eldest young master is his own brother, just watching Brother Rong die!"
is obviously a shadowless thing, but when the sixth aunt said this, it seems that Hu Shangmin has malicious intentions and deliberately harms people.
Hu Shangrong was a little helpless, to be honest, the relationship between brothers is not good, and it must have something to do with his mother.
"Big brother is wrong, I want to hold guns, not be cannon fodder, so I definitely won't be a soldier, I want to learn to make guns, if I can make more powerful shells, so big that the whole world is afraid of them, then there will be no more wars. ”
Hu Shangrong is not lying, if nuclear weapons appear, this kind of destructive power is almost indiscriminate, and the emergence of weapons that can cause a tragedy in history for several years will reach a kind of equilibrium, and no one will start a war lightly.
-- War is for the sake of competing for interests, not for the sake of barren land.
The more he said it, the clearer the hazy line in his heart became, and he thought that at that time, according to the pattern of historical development, everyone would engage in another kind of arms war, which would be a relatively peaceful war.
It's just that at the moment, this is more like a child's ignorant words.
"Haha," Hu Shangmin laughed when he heard this, "The fourth brother is talking about children, how can there be such a cannonball?"
With the current understanding of artillery shells, it is natural to think of what kind of nuclear bomb is, it is a weapon that users will be afraid of, and before its effect came out, no one thought that there would be such a thing, which could destroy a country, a planet, time or even forever in an instant.
Hu Shangrong didn't say anything, didn't refute others, he looked at Father Hu, Father Hu, who was standing at the door of the study, looked at him with a pipe, and the father and son looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
Three days later, Hu Shangrong carried a small suitcase and stepped on the ocean ship, followed by the tearful sixth aunt, she finally couldn't resist Hu's father's decision, with a kind of abandoned sadness and Hu Shangrong stepped on the ship, until the boat opened and looked at the shore and cried, she thought she would never come back.
