Li Qiang put down the dishes and chopsticks a little disheartened, it turned out that in the eyes of the child, he was so useless as a father, he never even mentioned to him that he wanted to study, and he didn't even look at him now, and he didn't even ask for help with a look. He is the father of the mountain, and he should rely on the person he should admire. But now, his son is asking for help from his brother, his mother, and his grandmother, but he has forgotten that he is a father, and he has been completely ignored from beginning to end.

I guess I didn't count myself in the first place.

With this thought, the always honest farmer quietly reddened his eyes.

"Milk, eldest uncle, second uncle, second uncle, fifth uncle, fifth aunt," Dashan suddenly pushed away the bowl, walked to the courtyard and knelt down, and almost shouted to everyone in the family: "I want to study, please, please." ”

Dashan was aggrieved in his heart, his background was something he couldn't choose, and he didn't complain and couldn't complain about anyone. But when he wants to thrive, it is difficult, how can the poor soil bear fruit? He must be helped and cared for in order to reach the heights he desires. However, what he expected was not as smooth as he imagined, and even though he said he was willing to make an IOU, no one believed that he could. Yes, he was too young, his parents were unproductive, and no one among his relatives could afford those risks. Also, there is no one in the world who is good to you for no reason, and most likely to do so to your parents. The little boy was extremely frustrated in his heart, tears fell down, and he could only cry and kowtow and pray. He had a faint feeling in his heart that if this ruined action didn't let him enter the academy, he was afraid that he would not have a chance with the academy in this life, thinking of this. The mountain stumbled harder and harder.

"The mountains rise, and the men have gold under their knees. Something to stand up and say. Li Wu grabbed both arms of the mountain and pulled him up stiffly.

But I didn't want him to just let go of his hand. Dashan knelt down again, still holding the sleeves on both sides of Li Wu tightly, with a red mark in the middle of his forehead, and looked at him with longing eyes: "Second uncle, I really want to study, you can borrow some silver for your nephew, I will make an IOU, promise to pay it back, and I will definitely pay it back." I, Li Wenqing, owe you a kindness. In this life, being a cow and a horse will definitely be rewarded. ”

Li Wu sighed, and was about to answer a good sentence when he was interrupted by a dry cough from Yu, who had seen the clue, for fear that he would be hot-headed and agreed. It's okay to borrow a little silver for Dashan to study for a semester, but what will happen after that, is it coming out every year? Or don't read it again? They are going to have a better life in this house, should they be the big ones who are wronged? She has a son and is also studying, whether she is going to be a career or becoming a biological son in the future, she will need silver, and she also has to think about the dog. Besides. Dashan's parents are all alive, and there is no reason to help others raise their sons. How much money has been spent on Goudan studying in the past few years Yu is clear, but it is much more expensive than raising a son, and her life may not be very comfortable. But it's not stupid enough to make it difficult in the future.

After many years of tacit understanding between husband and wife, Li Wu still understood Yu's concerns in an instant, but Dashan was like this. Can he, the second uncle, really be indifferent? A man's knees kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents, how can he bend down lightly because of a little oppression of life. However, Yu's worries are not justified. Li Wu patted Dashan on the shoulder and said, "Dashan, you look up to your second uncle, although the second uncle is a shopkeeper, he doesn't have much ability." Your brother Wen Han also has to study and chew, and the support of the second uncle is limited. Later, I'll ask your second aunt to send two taels of silver, don't say anything that you can't pay back, study hard. ”

Two taels of silver, half a year's bundle, seems to have solved the urgent task. However, when you think about it, nothing is enough. In addition to the bundles, there are also pen, ink, paper, inkstone, food expenses and the cost of purchasing clothes, which Lin Lin can't get down with two taels of silver. Wen is in charge of the silver money of the third room, so she naturally knows her family background, although the He family has exempted them from living expenses for this month, but the cash in her hand is only less than two hundred big money, which is still she and Li Qiang in the days before the busy farming, one by one selling coolies and one night of embroidery. After being married for so many years, she only felt that it was not easy for the silver to come by, even if she saved again and again, she still didn't save money. She was also anxious, but she didn't want to force Li Qiang to do something that violated her conscience, she thought that as long as she quietly influenced little by little, Li Qiang would open up sooner or later. However, she didn't seem to be able to wait for him to open up

Regarding Li Wu's words that he had to give two taels of silver to let Dashan study, Wen admitted his feelings. Regardless of whether he opened his mouth out of face or out of sympathy, as a second uncle who is not directly related by blood, his words gave Dashan more hope. Even if Dashan didn't enter the school at all in the end, she and Dashan would never forget this kindness.

Dashan's eyes lit up, and he kowtowed to Li Wu a few more times, Wen looked at Li Qiang, who was wiping his tears and pulling a handful of silent, and for the first time in his life, he was angry at him: "You talk, what kind of dead person are you pretending." Don't you hear, my son wants to study, he wants to go to school, he wants to study. You are his father, his father, looking at your son like this, you don't have a word to say? Until now, you're like a piece of wood, are you really his father? ”

"yes, am I really his father?" Li Qiang seemed to wake up suddenly, looked at Wen with confused eyes, and turned to the mountain that was sitting on the ground in a gloomy manner. Suddenly, a fist slammed on the table, and even the lights jumped a few times, and the bruises on his fist appeared: "In his eyes, am I still worthy of being his father?" Lao Tzu has no ability, and even looks down on his son, just because Lao Tzu has no money, his son doesn't even tell Lao Tzu that he wants to study, but begs his uncle and aunt. Is this Lao Tzu's cub? Am I really his father?! The more Li Qiang spoke, the more excited he became, his teeth rattled, he stood up and angrily smashed the bowl in front of him: "What's the use of me raising such a son, I still want to raise a child to prevent old age and prevent a fart!" I, Li Qiang, have nothing to do in my life, but Lao Tzu sits upright and is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. I've been slapped in the face by my own son because of it. Hehe, I'm a joke when the I'm alive, a joke! ”

Li Qiang slapped his chest loudly, and after his passionate words, he sat on the stool like a deflated ball. With his head drooping, his palms crossed and clenched, the lights were like beans, and the whole person looked ten years older.

The bowl splattered. In the dim light, a rigid arc jumped. Li Qiang has always been at home with the image of an honest man, and he hasn't even spoken out loud a few times in the eyes of his family. I never blushed with Wen. When an honest person gets angry, he really shakes the mountain. Except Ho sat still. Everyone else threw away their bowls and got up and took a few steps back.

Wen knelt beside the panicked mountain, hugged the mountain's head, glared at Li Qiang, and said sharply: "Why are you crazy about not filling the cat urine yet?" Who are you smashing the bowl to bluff, you don't have money for your son's education? Why did Dashan do this, it's not that we don't have the ability to be a father, he knows that it's useless to ask for it. What's wrong with him wanting to study and find a future for himself, which father and mother in the world don't look forward to their children's success, what's wrong with Dashan wanting to be motivated? He's not going to kill people and set fires. Do you have to let your son live a lifetime with a hoe like you, carrying a hoe and guarding an acre and three points of land, without enough to eat and starvation? ”

Maybe Wen didn't think about letting Dashan study at first, but just now the scene of his son kneeling on the ground crying and kowtowing and begging deeply stimulated Wen's heart as a mother. They were all raised by their mother's father, so why did their son kowtow everywhere if he wanted to enter the school. Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. She asked herself that she had never compared food and clothing with anyone since she entered the door, and she was not the one who cheated and cheated, even if she was ridiculed by her concubine, she never complained in front of Li Qiang. But in the face of his son, Wen felt that he could no longer let Li Qiang be like this, and the burden of being a father was far heavier than being a husband.

"You look down on me too?" Li Qiang raised his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. Looking at the night sky, his voice was lonely and ethereal: "I know, I know, how can I be a farmer with no ability to like you?" Now you regret it. Okay, I'll let you go. ”

He's a man and he has a good face. Because he has no ability to make money to make a good life for his daughter-in-law and children, he blames himself in his heart. He also thought about gritting his teeth and closing his eyes when he was deceived by a pit, as if he didn't see anything. When he got the money in his hand, he felt that his palms were burning - he still couldn't cross the moral line in his heart. This is fate, he is destined to be able to only roll in the soil in this life. Dig in the soil. But no matter how carefully he tended to the land, he could only make the family wrap up all year round, and there was not much cash in his hands. He had three children, but he couldn't give them a better life, and every time he saw the longing in their eyes, he could only pretend not to see it. More and more time he hid with his hoe, but sat alone on the ridge in a daze. The pressures of life had caused his spine to bend prematurely, which is why he had gray hair at such a young age. Every night he couldn't sleep well, and all the time he was repeating a dream in which Wen had a big fight with him, took the dowry to marry someone else, and Dashan pointed at his nose and scolded him for being a coward and unworthy of being his father. Qiaoqiao and Tiezhu didn't even shout at their father. He has always buried this as a nightmare in his heart, and he has been hypnotizing himself that it was just a dream, the dream is the opposite, and now it seems that the dream has come true.

Wen was blindsided all of a sudden, and the full words choked in his throat but could not come out. She just wanted to force him to be motivated, and she really didn't want to leave him. She prides herself on understanding Li Qiang, but she will never be able to understand the heart of a man with low self-esteem. Among the brothers, Li Qiang is the poorest, he is poor and short-minded, and he has never been able to let go of his hands and feet in front of his brothers; Wen married him with most of the family property, and he was afraid of disappointing her affection and his father-in-law's trust; Both children are happy, but at the same time, they are more hesitant for their children to grow up.

was afraid, so he blamed himself, but Li Qiang actually felt a lot more relaxed in his heart after he said that sentence just now, and he was surprised in his heart, it turned out that he was already overwhelmed.

Dashan understood the meaning of Li Qiang's words, knelt down, hugged Li Qiang's legs and cried: "Dad, don't want a mother, I was wrong, I don't study anymore, I really don't read anymore." ”

Li Qiang stretched out the fan-like mountain and patted the mountain's head as if nothing had happened, and said softly: "Don't worry, child, since you call me Dad, Dad will let you enter the school." Daddy promises, it will. ”

The last sentence actually has a categorical taste.

Dashan cried even more fiercely, and shook his head again and again: "I really don't read anymore, Dad, I was wrong, don't be angry, I'll go farming with you in peace, and never mention reading again." Don't drive your mother away, it's my mistake, Dad. ”

Tie Zhu didn't really understand what it meant, but seeing that his brother was crying so fiercely, he also hugged Li Qiang's thigh and cried a lot. Qiaoqiao wiped her tears and stood in front of Wen with tears and tears, and the family was in a miserable situation.

Yang Liu turned his head and secretly wiped a handful of tears. The poor couple mourned, and Yang Liu suddenly felt urgency.

"Dad scared you, how could he drive your mother away. Okay, okay, don't cry, have you eaten enough? ”

It's really like a sunny day after rain.

"Enough trouble?" At this time, He finally spoke: "If you have enough, go to sleep, Ming'er will go to your second uncle's house to help." (To be continued......)
