"Dung Lang, it's all right?" Li Zheng looked at Chen Modao, who was sitting on the ground.

"Aweng, I'...... Leg numbness. Chen Mo stood up with the support of Dumb and Gouwa, hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah Weng, I didn't mean to hurt people. ”

"Alas~" Li Zheng shook his head and said: "This matter, I can't blame you, there are more and more homeless people recently, and there are people in the nearby townships who come to take the crops, you harvest as soon as possible, don't let these people take advantage of it, as for hurting people, you don't need to mind, they stole grain first, and they have not passed on the book, plus you are still young, even if you are still young, you will sue Xia Qiu Ling, and we will also take advantage of it, and the county order will also be towards us." ”

Li Zheng's words could not give Chen Mo much comfort, although there was a reason for the incident, but after all, he was blinded, and Chen Mo inevitably felt a little guilty and panicked in his heart.

One afternoon, Chen Mo was all confused, during the autumn harvest, everyone was very busy, and no one could help him, and in one afternoon, Chen Mo collected the least amount of food.

In the evening, everyone returned to the village one after another, Chen Mo dragged the pallet and pulled the grain back home, and when he returned home, Chen Mo was in a daze, the sunspot came to Chen Mo's side, rubbing his trouser leg affectionately, but Chen Mo just sat there in a daze.

"Mo'er, I have heard people say that today's incident is not your fault." Chen's mother came to Chen Mo with a bowl of porridge and handed him the porridge.

"Mother, but that person was really blinded by me in one eye." Chen Mo looked at his mother blankly, even if the law really didn't sin him, he still couldn't let go of it in his heart.

"You are different from other children, you are the pillar of our Chen family, so there are some truths you should understand." Chen Mo patiently said to Chen Mo: "Mother, tell you a story." ”

"Huh?" Chen Mo looked at his mother in confusion.

Chen's mother didn't explain, with a bit of reminiscence: "Once upon a time, there was a person, he was also surnamed Chen, originally the family affairs were not bad, at least it was a poor family, one day, he found that the servant in the family had changed into a seller without permission, so he was ready to report to the official, but the servant had been with him for many years, begging bitterly, he relented for a while, gave up reporting to the official, and recovered part of the finances, and severely punished the servant. ”

Chen Mo looked at his mother suspiciously, are these two things related?

"Do you know what happened?" Mother Chen looked at Chen Mo with a little bitterness in her smile.

"How's it going?" Chen Mo looked at his mother, but his heart sank a little, he felt that the story was perfect at this point, and the servant would definitely be grateful to Dade, but when his mother said this, it was obvious that things were not as simple as he thought.

"The man surnamed Chen had the opportunity to be promoted as filial piety, but he was slandered by the servants as rich and unkind, not filial piety, and virtuous, and finally lost his career, he ...... also ended up depressed and died young. Mother Chen sighed: "Leave orphans and widows to bear the warmth and coldness of this world." ”

"What about the servant?" Chen Mo looked at his mother, and suddenly felt a little inexplicably angry, wishing that he could slash the servant.

"I heard that I went to my family, but I don't know what happened." Mother Chen shook her head.

Chen Mo was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "The person surnamed Chen is my father?" ”

Mother Chen looked at Chen Mo for a long time, and then nodded silently: "You are like your father, benevolent, and you will always think about others in everything, which is a good thing, but in this world, sometimes you are too kind, and you will only wronged yourself. Since it was the other party's fault in the first place, even if the means were excessive, if those people did not come to grab the food, how could there be these things? Things in this world, it's not complicated, you don't need to worry too much about him, born in this world, who is not bitter? They grabbed food, but did you ever think that your Aunt Cai might not be able to survive without this food? ”

Chen Mo nodded, and the guilt in his heart was much less.

Chen's mother said again: "Analects, my mother has taught you everything, do you remember what the opening chapter is?" ”

"Learn and learn, don't you say." Chen Mo said loudly, he had already memorized the entire Analects.

"And do you know what it means?" Chen's mother asked again.

"What you have learned, you should review it repeatedly." Chen Mo thought for a moment.

"That's a review of the old and the new, this sentence is not interpreted in this way." Mother Chen rubbed her silent head and smiled: "What I learned, I used it on weekdays at that time, this is the true meaning of learning, some people have read the Analects all their lives, and they have not understood this sentence, the knowledge handed down by the ancestors is not for me to wait to memorize, you have experienced the various states of life, you can really understand the truth, at that time, these knowledge is yours." ”

Chen Mo suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that there were many things in this Analect that were repeated, or they were not repeated, but they were misunderstood.

"Mother, I understand." Chen Mo looked at his mother and said seriously.

"Understood?" Mother Chen shook her head: "My mother has been learning the Analects for many years, and I don't dare to understand everything I say, and what my mother said may not be true, how dare you say it?" ”

"Huh~?" Chen Mo looked at his mother in amazement.

"It is better to believe in books than to have no books, books are just the perceptions of the ancestors, but the ancestors may not be right." Mother Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Hurry up and finish all this food, and tomorrow my mother will go with you to collect food." ”

"No, I can." Chen Mo hurriedly shook his head, and then asked curiously: "Mother, in this way, our family is a poor family?" ”

"Your father counts, but you ......," Chen's mother sighed.

"Why, isn't the child the blood of the Chen family?" Chen Mo was puzzled.

"Naturally, after the ancestor Chen Qiong, the son of Gong Chen, with our branch, since Gong Chen Qiong, our branch is mostly the position of the county order, and when it comes to your father's generation, it is extremely difficult to even be selected for filial piety, and there is something later, it is extremely difficult to let you enter the family tree, let alone enter the office." Mother Chen sighed.

Chen Mo remembered that his mother had said that his name was all begged, and now it seems that his mother was just to let him enter the family tree.

"Isn't it even a cold door?" Chen Mo was a little disappointed, but then he was excited: "Mother rest assured, the child will definitely be able to expand this pulse in the future!" ”

Although he didn't quite understand the difference between the Hanmen and the scholars, but he was blessed by the gods, and his abilities were increasing, Chen Mo believed that he would be able to break through the world in the future and reinvigorate the glory of this vein.

"It's a good thing that my son has this ambition, but don't be impatient." Chen's mother just smiled and nodded, this world is difficult, survival is not easy, since the death of her husband, she no longer has hope, her son can live this life peacefully, marry a wife and have children, inherit Chen's incense, she has been satisfied, no matter more, there is no extravagance.
