The smile on Shi Niang's face was soft, and she let Zhao Huchen come in and asked softly, "Has Huchen eaten?" Come on, let's have some food together. ”

"Thank you, Master, I have eaten it, this is the goat I caught today, and I sent it to Shiniang's family." Zhao Huchen scratched his head, he was a little overwhelmed in the face of the soft gaze of the third aunt, but he also had a burst of warmth from the heart.

"Where did Huchen see?" Zhao Taidou, who walked into the yard, put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked.

"After reading "After the Title of Wuzi Xing Small Seal Scroll", I saw a few pages of "Erya Notes", but there are some questions that I can't understand." Zhao Huchen replied honestly, if his grandfather has been training him in physical fitness and fighting, then the master's family taught him more, maybe he didn't believe that Zhao Huchen, who had never walked out of Zhaojia Village and had just turned twenty years old, had mastered seven languages including Chinese, English, and French.

Many majors have strong enough surnames to embarrass university professors, but in Zhao's view, they are not a problem at all.

"It's okay to have a problem, if there is no problem, I won't worry, you can go to the study with me later, and you can ask me if you don't understand something." Zhao Taidou did not hesitate to praise in his eyes, whether he was talented or his surname, Zhao Huchen was probably not the most outstanding of the children he had ever seen, but this diligence and tenacity that the nine cows couldn't pull back was definitely the most amazing thing for Zhao Taidou.

Shi Niang walked from behind Zhao Huchen, happened to see the blood red oozing from his clothes, and said in surprise: "Huchen, are you injured?" ”

Zhao Huchen nodded and said, "Well, I accidentally injured myself when I went up the mountain today." ”

"Take off your clothes, and my wife will show you." Shi Niang said distressedly.

Zhao Huchen, who grew up with his grandfather since he can remember, doesn't know what maternal love is, and since the appearance of the master's family, his master has played such a role in his life, that is, half of his mother and half of his teacher.

Although the couple have been married for many years, they have always had no children, and they almost watched Zhao Huchen grow up, so they have always regarded Zhao Huchen as their own child, plus Zhao Taidou and Zhao Lao have a relationship that no one knows, so in the eyes of the teacher, there is no difference between Zhao Huchen and his own children.

Zhao Huchen obediently took off his shirt, revealing a body that was not strong but had very uniform muscles, the only flaw was that there were too many scars on this body.

Although it was not the first time to see Zhao Huchen's scars, Shi Niang was still a little distressed, especially when she saw the blood groove that had a tendency to burst again due to the oppression of heavy objects, and blamed: "Is your grandfather corporal punishment of you again?" ”

"When I got back, I did a few push-ups and added two bags of rice." Zhao Huchen replied honestly, although he simplified a thousand into a few. "Really, your grandfather has always been like this, he doesn't know that he feels sorry for the child, you sit down, I'll re-medicate you." Shi Niang brought the medicine box and sat behind Zhao Huchen to help him reapply the medicine to his wound.

Of course, Shiniang's hands are different from grandpa's hands, except for the necessary tightening when bandaging, Zhao Huchen almost didn't feel pain, and after taking the medicine, Zhao Huchen put on his clothes and said to Zhao Taidou, who had been sitting next to him: "Master, today's matter"

"Needless to say, Master believes in you." Zhao Taidou knew that Zhao Huchen was referring to the village party secretary, so he smiled and patted Zhao Huchen's shoulder, and said.

"Hmm." Zhao Huchen nodded, although he didn't say words of gratitude, the warmth in his heart was real.

After taking the medicine, Zhao Huchen and Zhao Taidou went to the study together and began his evening study.

Zhao Taidou's study is a real study, because this room that occupies half a floor is full of books except for rows of bookcases, and there is a simple wooden table by the window in the corner, next to a stool, which is where Zhao Huchen has studied for several years.

All the books in the collection here, Zhao Huchen has already read most of them, in fact, these are already the second batch, all the books in the study room were read by Zhao Huchen earlier, and then Zhao Taidou found a way to get the ancient books in the study room out for Zhao Huchen to read.

Zhao Huchen ran to a bookshelf familiarly, carefully pulled out a thread-bound book and ran to the window, where Zhao Taidou was already sitting waiting for him.

Helping Zhao Huchen point out a few things he didn't understand, Zhao Taidou quietly withdrew from the study.

When he returned downstairs and saw his wife who was sewing clothes under the light, Zhao Taidou's eyes softened.

"Huchen, this kid, is too hard." Shi Niang turned around and glanced at Zhao Taidou, who was going downstairs, shook her head, and sighed.

"If you don't work hard, how can you be a master? There is no such thing as a get-give-and-take, and at this point, this kid has left me without any fiery flaws. Zhao Taidou smiled and sat down next to his wife and said.

"You've been saying this for more than ten years, then again, this kid's talent is really good, it's not a problem that he has been to IELTS with his current English level, not to mention that he still needs to master six other languages, if my father knows, I'm afraid I have to teach him to his side anyway, and he may not be able to become a professional genius in some aspect in the future." Shi Niang chuckled.

"Isn't that overkill, whether it is Old Man Zhao or me, I don't want to see him just be a so-called genius who is supported by the state in a certain laboratory, and more than ten years of hard work is just to let him get ahead one day." Zhao Taidou turned his head to look at the quiet upstairs and frowned.

"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, I believe that as long as there is a chance, this kid will be able to do his own business sooner or later, just like you back then. Not to mention the fact that this child himself has the most glorious bloodline. The master put down the work she was doing, leaned on her husband's body, and smiled softly.

Her father is a professor in the university, and her mother is also from a famous family, such a scholarly family after the birth of the girl, of course, there is a different kind of aura from ordinary women, but when she was young, she saw Zhao Taidou, who was so poor that she came out to study, she fell in love with this poor boy without hesitation, although relatives and friends have persuaded her to have a good future, but even if she is now in this poor Zhaojia Village, she does not have a little regret.

"I'm not going back to Zhaojia Village to be a farmer." Zhao Taidou shook his head and smiled bitterly, after leaving Zhaojia Village, few people in the world really looked down on him, but the woman next to him has always stubbornly regarded him as a hero in her life, and it is precisely this responsibility that has made Zhao Taidou take care of her as a treasure in the palm of his hand for many years.

A few months later, at noon, Zhao Huchen came out of his master's house and went home to make lunch as usual.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I didn't see my grandfather lying in the rocking chair, which was empty at this time, and a worn-out red blanket was particularly lonely on the armrest.

Before he was surprised, the door of the room was opened, and the neatly dressed Zhao Laoji appeared in front of Zhao Huchen.

"Coming back from your third uncle's house?" Zhao Laoji, who heard the sound, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Zhao Huchen, and asked.

Nodding, Zhao Huchen responded.

"Let's go, go to the back mountain." Zhao Laoji waved his hand and said.

"Grandpa, what are you going to do in the back mountain?" Zhao Huchen asked suspiciously.

"Look at your grandmother." Zhao Laoji paused, as if he was missing something, and finally just sighed and walked along the yellow mud road in the village to the back mountain.

Although it was very strange why Grandpa suddenly wanted to go to Grandma's grave, he still didn't ask when he saw the nostalgic look on Grandpa's face, and there was a vague premonition.

Zhao Huchen's grandmother's grave is in the mountainside of the back mountain, the mountain road is difficult to walk, but it is not a difficult thing for the grandfather and grandson, Zhao Laoji did not let Zhao Huchen support, no matter how difficult the mountain road is also he himself crossed, the two have walked to the depths of the mountainside, a place overgrown with trees, but there is a cemetery that is always kept clean.

Zhao Laoji walked to the small grave, squatted down, carefully pulled off the weeds, and said to Zhao Huchen: "Kneel down and kowtow to your grandmother." ”

Zhao Huchen knelt on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed three times.

"There are some things that should be told to you." Zhao Laoji did it next to the grave, stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the not tall tombstone, there was a deep affection in the old eyes that the young Zhao Huchen couldn't read, he had never seen his grandfather like this, even if the grandfather and grandson only had a bowl of white rice and a plate of wild vegetables during the New Year, he had never seen his grandfather's eyes moist, but now, he seemed to see the corners of his grandfather's eyes gradually moistened.

"Do you know why no one in the village knows your grandmother's name and origin?" Zhao Laoji said slowly, with the slow narration, Zhao Laoji seemed to have returned to the era that belonged to him, affectionately caressing the tombstone, Zhao Laoji sighed deeply, and said: "Actually, we are not from Zhaojia Village, we fled to Zhaojia Village halfway to settle down, and your grandmother, born in a scholarly family, she has been a famous family for generations, but at that time, she was the main object of struggle to be criticized." This secret was also known to me after I got married to your grandmother, and then I don't know how, this matter was poked out, so we fled and fled to Zhaojia Village. Zhao Laoji's words carried a sense of vicissitudes of time in the world, at this moment, no matter how beautiful and dazzling he was, now he is just an old man who stepped into the coffin with half a foot, stroking the tombstone, Zhao Laoji's old eyes were full of bitterness, sighed softly, and continued.

"She always felt that she owed me, owed us the Zhao family, her body was already delicate, in such a turbulent era, she passed away in a few years, I know, she walked with guilt, in fact, how could I not live with guilt? Even when she was most sick, I didn't have the money to buy her good medicine, and the last meal she ate before leaving was wild vegetables, I'm sorry for her!! Speaking of this, Zhao Laoji's words paused, and the whole person was in a semi-trance state and remained silent, looking at the not high grave in front of him, a small tombstone in front of the grave, where is the lonely grave for thousands of miles? The love of the year has long since turned into loess, full of affection, and has endured it for decades, and Zhao Laoji now doesn't want to endure it anymore.
