Chapter 11: Youth

But Master Sun didn't force his son to do things he didn't like to do. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info because he didn't do what Sun Zheng's grandfather wanted him to do. Sun Zheng's ancestors are not big families. Sun Zheng's grandfather went out to earn a living at a very young age. Because he worked hard and endured hardships, a stonemason accepted him as an apprentice and passed on his skills to him. Later, Sun Zheng's grandfather opened a stonemason shop by himself after leaving school, and the business was quite prosperous. He originally wanted to pass on the craft to Sun Zheng's father, but Master Sun felt that it was too hard to move stones every day, so he liked to pour some things and do some small business. Sun Zheng's grandfather said that he was not doing his job, and Sun Zheng's grandfather felt that only reading or learning a craft was the journey to settle down. However, although Master Sun didn't read much, he was honest and reasonable, and his mind was quite flexible, and he soon saved some money for himself. When Sun Zheng's grandfather saw Master Sun, he married his daughter-in-law and became an adult, so he no longer objected to Master Sun's business. Later, Sun Zheng's grandfather was seriously ill, and in order to see his father, Sun Zheng visited famous doctors all over the world, and gradually became interested in medicine. Sun Zheng's grandfather still didn't escape the destiny of heaven, but Master Sun entered the door of this industry because of this.

Sun Zheng is very different from his father, when Sun Zheng was born, the Sun family's business had begun to scale. Although Master Sun has never read any books, he still hopes that his son will not be like him. Therefore, when Sun Zheng was very young, he invited a very good master in Su City to enlighten his son. Sun Zheng also lived up to Master Sun's hopes, and wrote freely, and was praised by Mr. After entering the school, he is a well-known prodigy.

However, prodigies also have the sorrow of prodigies, at first the children were still together every day, and then Sun Zheng's progress in reading and learning far exceeded that of children of the same age. After reading more books and thinking more, his thinking will be more mature, and gradually he will feel a little naïve and bored when he plays games with children of the same age. In addition, no one's children like it, and their parents always praise another person, so the children don't play with him. At first, Sun Zheng didn't mind, he felt that no one was looking for him, he just had time to read well, and he still had a lot of books to read. But after a long time, after all, I am a child, and I still feel lonely.

At this moment, the old owner of Fang Zhuang came to Su City with Fang Yu. The two families are good friends, and Master Sun also likes Fang Yu very much, he thinks that Fang Yu is generous and cheerful, and he talks naturally, he thinks this is what a businessman's child should look like. As for his own Sun Zheng, although he reads well, he has a wooden temperament, and I am afraid that he will not have any success in the future. Master Sun often invited Fang Yu to his home as a guest. Fang Yu was not polite, anyway, his father was always busy with business matters and didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he simply ate and lived in Sun's house. Nominally, he also went to school with Sun Zheng. It's just that on the way to school, I will chase birds for a long time, and then I will go to the river to see the newly blooming flowers. Even if I went to class, I would throw a paper ball, and I would say that Mr.'s beard was a little cocked like a dog's tail, which made the class unpeaceful. Mr. punishment is indispensable, but although the edict is naughty, but not stupid, Mr. let the back can be reversed, Mr. punished him to write. Probably because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, Fang Yu's words are fluent, and the strength and strokes are well controlled, not only writing quickly but also very good-looking. This made Sun Zheng, who practiced calligraphy diligently every day, jealous.

Others don't like to be compared with Sun Zheng by their parents, but Fang Yu doesn't care, anyway, even without Sun Zheng, he is not a good child, he doesn't care about this, not to mention that his father doesn't have time. Therefore, Sun Zheng, who was abandoned by his partners because he was too good, and Fang Yu, who was disliked because he was too naughty, became good friends who played together. Actually, the two of them didn't play anything together. Most of the time, Fang Yu was practicing his sword and Sun was reading a book. Fang Yu was eating, and Sun was reading. Fang Yu was catching fish, and Sun was reading a book. Fang Yu was peeking at the little girl next door combing her hair, and Sun was reading a book. Sun was reading a book in the house, and Fang Yu was in his room, turning his house upside down like a treasure hunt. Sometimes I take out Sun Zheng's collection of books to look at it, and sometimes I pick it up and draw something. Sun was reading a book by the river, so Fang Yu picked up a stone and carved it in his hand. Two people are often together, but rarely do something together.

Probably the most thing two people do together is play chess. Sun Zheng has been playing chess since elementary school, and when he was 10 years old, he had already dominated the township. Unexpectedly, Fang Yu, the prodigal son of the disciple, could compete with him in chess. Sun Zheng was very dissatisfied with Fang Yu, but after a few battles, he and Fang Yu were at most a tie, winning and losing each other, and they had no advantage. Fang Yu also has one thing that makes Sun Zheng very jealous, that is, Fang Yu plays the piano well, but Sun Zheng can be said to be incomprehensible, his natural five notes are incomplete, and he also plays the piano unsatisfactory, and he is simply not at the same level as Fang Yu. Therefore, since Fang Yu came, Sun Zheng rarely played the piano.

These two children are different but have an honest heart. Once, they saw that a man had stolen the money bag of Grandma Yin, who was selling tea and eggs, and followed him to the door of the house, where he stayed until the man came out, put him in a sack that had been prepared, beat him violently, poured feces on him, and threw a sign saying I am a thief on the street. Then, secretly sent the money bag back, Grandma Yin's house, Mrs. Yin didn't know what was going on, and thought that she had misremembered the location of the money bag.

Originally, with Fang Yu's martial arts at that time, to deal with such a thief, there was no need to work so hard at all, just catch him and beat him. However, he still felt that this thing had to be done with Sun Zheng to be more interesting. On that day, Sun Zheng skipped school with Fang Yu for the first time. This made him realize that the life of skipping school was also very happy. Therefore, after that, Sun Zheng's health suddenly became bad, and people became busy. My husband often receives sick leave or personal leave slips from the Sun family. Most, or not all, of these strips came from the hands of the oracles. Every time the scholar Master Sun wrote a crooked leave note, he had to hold it for a long time.

It didn't take long for the Fang family's business in Sioux City to settle, so there was no need to stay here. On the day of leaving, Master Sun took the whole family to the city gate to see them off. Fang Yu still grinned and said that Sun Zheng should not read too many books, people will become stupid. He said that he would come back in a few years to see if his brain was broken. Sun Zheng was still frowning and unwilling to pay attention to him. Fang Lao grabbed Fang Yu and threw him into the carriage and left. Sun Zheng kept watching them go away, knowing that the carriage had disappeared before he withdrew his gaze. He told himself that the bastard was finally gone, but he seemed to hear an inexplicable sigh in his own heart.

After that, the two of them would often receive letters from each other, and Fang Yu often wrote anecdotes about his own life in the rivers and lakes. Especially how to do chivalrous righteousness, heroes save beauty and the like will be written very vividly. Sun Zheng's life will be less colorful, and his replies will be relatively brief. Just pick a few people and write a few strokes. For example, the husband who taught them died of illness last year. The big tree that carved together was blown down by a summer storm. Apart from these shared memories, Sun Zheng rarely writes about himself. It's just that a few months ago, he wrote in a letter that he was going to Beijing to catch the exam. I was not very surprised by this point, and it was Sun Zheng's ideal to be an official in scientific research and uphold justice. Although he didn't say it, at least Fang Yu knew. Sometimes Fang Yu felt that his idea was naïve and boring, and sometimes he felt that Sun Zheng's ideal was very noble. In any case, this is a very important event for his friend, and he must go and give him a ride. Fang Yu sat down and put it on, thinking that he was about to arrive in Sioux City, and he just wanted to drool happily when he thought of the various snacks in Sioux City.
