Chapter 4 Never Give Up

Cheerful music resounded outside the courtyard walls of the Su Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The drums beat like rain, beating on the heart, and the hearts of those who listened trembled slightly.

"Kenshin, what's going on outside?" asked Su Shen.

Kenshin ran out to inquire, and came back after a while: "It's the old man and the fourth aunt." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "In less than a year's effort, I accepted the third aunt's wife." ”

Is it?

Su Shen smiled bitterly in his heart.

This is his father's big day, but Su Shen's mood is really happy.

After a moment of silence, Su Shen asked, "This time, which girl is it?"

"The Yan Wushuang girl of Chunyue Lou is said to be born with a beautiful and versatile nature. I don't know how many young people in Linbei City like her, and she took a fancy to the eldest master. I heard that this time I entered the house. It seems that the fourth young master will soon have two more younger brothers or sisters. ”

Su Chengan married the wife of the third aunt within a year, and the second aunt just gave birth to a child not long ago, which is a girl, and Su Chengan is deeply loved. The third aunt is also pregnant, and she will give birth in two months, as for the current one, she is better, and she will enter the door directly with a big belly.

Since his son lost his blindness, the degree of cultivation of the eldest master of the Su family has increased significantly, and he has achieved great results in only one year, which is certainly fueled by Su Keji, and Su Chengan himself may not have taken the opportunity to make up for it.

Although he didn't know Su Keji's plan, Su Shen still felt the crisis hidden under the calm surface - after having a new son, would Su Chengan still support him as before?

Su Shen didn't know.

He was still young, only fourteen, able to see something, but not yet able to see further.

Soon, though, the answer came out on its own.

Two months later, the third aunt was too raw.

He's a big fat boy.

Su Chengan named it Su Ming.

It can be regarded as a little expectation of Su Shen's current situation.

On the day of the 100th day of Su Ming, the firecrackers in Sufu were noisy, and the bells and drums rang in unison, which was a lively scene.

That night, Su Keji came to see his brother with a heavy gift.

They talked for a long time.

――――――――――

Waking up in the morning, Su Shen washed up and sat in the yard, listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, listening to the birds singing on the trees, listening to the sound of gravel scraping the ground, and listening to the sound of ants carrying food - excellent hearing can not only hear sounds that others can't hear, but can also distinguish them clearly.

"Father?" Su Shen shook his head and turned behind him.

"It's early morning, not the time for your third uncle to practice the Sun Yao Sword, why can you still confirm that it's me?" Su Cheng'an walked out from behind Su Shen.

"Closeness is only closeness after all. Su Shen smiled: "I can tell now." ”

Su Chengan looked at his son speechlessly.

Su Shen is indeed very good, even after experiencing such a blow, he did not give up his efforts. Su Chengan should have felt relieved to have such a son, but when he thought of the purpose of his visit, Su Chengan's heart sank slightly.

At that moment, relief is no longer relief, but irritability.

What if you weren't that good?

Su Shen has already said: "My father hasn't come to see me for a long time, what should be the matter when he came over today?"

Su Chengan sat down on the stone chair in the courtyard: "Your second uncle came to me again yesterday." ”

Su Shen's heart sank slightly.

It was not surprising that Su Keji went to see his brother. But to work his father himself came to him, that was probably the last time.

The most important thing is that if his father had rejected Su Keji, then he probably would not have come to him now and said it in a solemn manner. The current situation is more like some kind of bad omen......

His mind was racing, but his face was silent.

After two years of blindness, his state of mind has become much calmer than before, and he has begun to learn to keep things in his heart.

Su Shen said: "I don't know what the second uncle is looking for his father for?"

Su Chengan replied: "He still wants to persuade you to give up the family's year-end evaluation." ”

"Father didn't promise him, did he?"

Su Cheng paused for a moment, and then said: "He promised me that if I agreed to the reform, he would give me Su Lin's Santaiquan baptism." ”

Santai Spring is a source of energy in Lin'an City, containing source energy, bathing with it can improve people's ability to feel the source of energy, but it is only effective for children under the age of three.

Santaiquan is in the hands of Yue Weixiong, the lord of Lin'an City, and due to the limited production, there are only three places for the outside world, which will attract a large number of families to compete every year. Because Su Chengan is the eldest son of the patriarch, he won a three-stage baptism for Su Shen back then, Su Shen's cultivation can be so fast, in addition to his own efforts, there is no lack of relationship with the family's care for him.

However, due to the limited number of places, it was difficult for Su Chengan to get another place for his second son after Su Shen was baptized. After all, the Su family has a great cause, and there are many disciples of the three generations, if all the benefits fall on Su Chengan's branch, others will definitely not want to.

Su Keji got a new son last year, named Su Lin, in terms of seniority, and it should be his turn to win the Santaiquan quota this time. In fact, many people believe that the reason why Su Keji chose to give birth to a son at that time was because he calculated that the Su family could get another place this time.

Although Su Lin has a good name, his congenital physique is not very good, and he is destined to not have much future, but this does not prevent Su Keji from winning the quota first, and then using it to make a transaction.

Su Shen was blind, Su Chengan's hopes were shattered, and he naturally hoped to have a new good son.

"So, my father wants to win this place for Brother Ming?"

Su Chengan replied: "It's not Su Ming." ”

Su Shen was stunned.

Su Chengan said: "Doctor Yuan of Sufeng Hall came to check on your fourth aunt a few days ago, and she is a boy. ”

Feelings are always close and estranged.

Su Chengan likes the new fourth aunt very much, loves the house and Wu, and even gave the three baptisms that he had won with great difficulty to his young son who had not yet been born.

This is Su Chengan's decision, even if Su Shen disagrees, it is useless.

Su Shen listened to Su Cheng'an's words and didn't say a word.

He was still young, three months before his fourteenth birthday.

But his psychology has gradually matured, and the most important thing is that this is not the first time he has encountered such a thing. At this time last year, Su Shen had already encountered it once, which made him mentally prepared.

In this dark world, it is sometimes not easy to keep that little light in your heart, and even some special means are required.

Su Shen was silent.

After a long time, he said, "There is one thing that I have never told my father. ”

"What's the matter?"

"My eyes are recovering. ”

"What did you say?" Su Chengan stood up and grabbed his son.

If Su Shen can recover, this is the best news.

Although Su Chengan also likes Su Ming and the unborn kid, he knows very well that Su Shen is the most talented one in the Su family. Instead of putting a lot of effort into raising a child who doesn't know what the future will be, it is far better to raise a child who is already doing well.

On this point, everyone's opinion is the same, otherwise why would Su Keji be willing to give up the Santai baptism and cultivate Su Qing? Because he knows very well that even if Su Lin does not have the problem of congenital weakness, the growth after getting the Santai baptism may not be comparable to the current Su Qing, and a person's growth is always accompanied by too many possibilities, rather than following a plan - Su Shen is the most ready-made example.

Risk aversion is a philosophy that everyone understands, and the best way to manage risk is to add the icing on the cake rather than the charcoal to it.

So if Su Shen can really recover his eyesight, Su Chengan will have no reason to give up on him.

"What you said is true, why didn't you say it earlier?" asked Su Chengan again?

Su Shen replied: "It's just that there can be a little vague feeling." I wanted to wait for a better time and surprise my father. ”

"It's a good thing to recover!" Su Chengan said overjoyed.

Two years ago, Su Shen didn't even have a sense of light, and there was only endless darkness in his world.

Maybe Su Shen is right, he can really recover.

Su Shen said: "But it may take another year or two to fully recover. ”

"Do you want another year or two?" Su Chengan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just a year or two, it doesn't matter, as long as it can recover in two years, everything will be in time." ”

"The second uncle's business ......"

"I'm going to turn him down. Su Chengan said firmly.

After walking a few steps, Su Chengan stopped again.

He waved his left hand at Su Shen.

Su Shen smiled, and he said, "Are you waving your hand?" Father, I can only see a vague shadow, I can't be sure. ”

Su Chengan breathed a sigh of relief: "Have a good rest." ”

Turn and leave.
