Chapter 30: Go to see Kong Yu

After walking all morning, I finally arrived at home before noon, or a familiar yard, although the yard is not big but it was cleaned by my father, and the firewood cut down from the mountain was placed in the corner of the wall neatly, after A-Ning entered the door, my father was cooking medicine for my mother and did not notice A-Ning, in the past two years, my father's head has grown a lot of gray hair, and the shoes have worn out and I am reluctant to change, but I have never had other girls to prepare a copy for A-Ning, and A-Ning suddenly felt sour, and held back the tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Daddy, A-Ning is back," A-Ning shouted loudly at the door, his tone pretended to be brisk, and he didn't want his father to worry about thinking that he was not having a good time in the Shen Mansion, and Ning's father, who was cooking medicine, was stunned at first after hearing his daughter's voice, and turned his head in disbelief, and saw that the girl standing at the door was the daughter they missed, so he quickly put down the fan in his hand and ran over to catch the things in A-Ning's hand, "Why are you back, Dad still thinks that you won't be able to come back until the end of the year, and after going out for two months, people have grown taller and are about to grow into big girls, Dad almost didn't recognize you," Father Ning took the things in A Ning's hand and said very happily, he was worried that A Ning would go out and suffer at such a young age, but now it seems that Shen Fu is really good and has not treated his daughter badly.

A-Ning also followed his father to the back room with a smile on his face, and his mother also heard the sound of A-Ning coming back in the house, sat up from the bed, and after A-Ning entered the house, he hurriedly threw himself into his mother's arms, fortunately, his father has been taking care of him very carefully, and his mother's improvement is not bad, "Mother, you see I bought you a hairpin, you wait for me to plug it in for you, A-Ning hurriedly took out the silver hairpin he bought that day from his sleeve, and thanks to this hairpin, he was able to escape."

A-Ning carefully inserted a hairpin for her mother, although her mother was unwell, and spent most of her time in bed, she also combed her hair neatly every day and cleaned herself up, "Mother, you are so good-looking," After A-Ning inserted the hairpin for her mother, the magnolia flower seemed to bloom on her mother's hair, giving her already sick complexion a little more graceful, very good-looking.

"My daughter is beautiful, the people who lack food and clothing in our family are thin and small, and now she looks like a big girl, and the beautiful lady is almost unrecognizable" A-Ning's mother touched A-Ning's hand and said with relief, "You two are waiting here, A-Ning must be hungry all the way, I'll go cook for you," Ning's father looked at the warm picture in front of him and was very moved, and was ready to go out to cook for the mother.

"Dad, wait a minute, don't go out yet, this is the new shoes I bought for you, you try to see if they fit," A-Ning hurriedly got up and went to get the shoes he bought back for his father to wear, "You girl, Dad, don't spend money for Dad, Dad doesn't need these" Father Ning didn't expect A-Ning to bring things for himself, and A-Ning was not easy to be outside alone, "You give it a try, don't worry, the master I'm waiting for now is very generous to me, I have five dollars of silver a month, which doesn't cost a few cents" A-Ning knew that Dad was distressed and unwilling to spend money, so he quickly explained.

"Five dollars of silver, Shen Mansion really deserves to be the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is very generous, then you don't want to buy things for your father, there are all in the house" Ning's father is still very reluctant to spend this money, although he earns a lot, but it also proves that the work is not easy, "Dad, don't say it, try it quickly," A Ning hurriedly urged.

"Okay, I'll try," Ning's father smiled kindly and tried the shoes that A-Ning bought, when A-Ning Niang was in good health, she sewed a lot for herself, but now she is sick and can't sit for a long time, and she hasn't added new shoes in the past two years. "It fits perfectly, the shoes that A-Ning bought are so comfortable to wear, don't buy them again in the future," after Ning's father tried on the new shoes, he was about to take off the shoes and put them away, "Dad, why are you taking off your shoes, this new shoe is for you to wear, if you put it up, wouldn't you disappoint your daughter," A-Ning saw that his father was going to take off his shoes, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Okay, don't take it off, dad is dressed, you are hungry, I will cook for you immediately," Ning's father knew that his daughter was distressed and was no longer humble, so he put on his shoes and got up to prepare to cook for the two of them, "Dad, I want to eat your cooking in the house, and my father's cooking is the most fragrant," A Ning smiled with a small face, it is the happiest thing to be able to accompany his father and mother like this.

"Okay, Dad will cook whatever you want to eat, and then make you a bacon control dry rice," Father Ning watched with a kind face as his daughter went out to cook the meals she liked to eat for A-Ning. "Mother, how is your health lately," after Dad left, Ah Ning looked at his mother and asked worriedly, "It's okay, my body is much better than before, thanks to your father who took care of me day and night, otherwise my body would have been dead a long time ago, cough cough" Speaking of Ah Ning's father, Ah Ning's face was a little more tender.

"Mother, for the sake of Daddy, you have to get better as soon as possible," A-Ning's father and mother have been very affectionate since A-Ning remembered, if Dad went to work in the field, his mother would cook at home and carry A-Ning to the field to send water and food to Daddy, and then the two would go back together, but in recent years, his body has become worse and worse so he doesn't go out much, in A-Ning's heart, the husband and wife should be like this, Qin Se and Ming.

"Mother, this is the salary I earn, you take it, let Daddy buy more medicines and supplements" A-Ning took out all the money he earned these days and gave it to his mother, "Silly child, this is your own hard-earned silver, how can your mother use it, you can rest assured that your mother is fine," A-Ning's mother hurriedly shirked and didn't want A-Ning's money.

"Please, mother, you can accept it, I have food and housing in the Shen Mansion and can't use the silver, you can take these money to see a doctor, and when your mother's illness is cured, A-Ning can settle down in her heart" A-Ning put the money in her mother's hand and said undoubtedly, looking at A-Ning's resolute attitude, A-Ning's mother had to accept it, "That mother will keep it for you first, and when you get married in the future, I will give you this money as a dowry, and my mother really doesn't need much money," "Mother, what do you say, A-Ning doesn't want to get married, A-Ning wants to accompany you and your father for the rest of your life," A-Ning heard the marriage and hurriedly retorted, A-Ning didn't want to get married, A-Ning just wanted to be a child forever under the knees of his parents.

"Silly boy, how can anyone not get married, you can't be by your father's side for the rest of your life, if you want to find a husband like your father to take care of you, your mother will rest assured," "There is only one person in the world like Daddy, mother, don't worry about these things, just take care of your body," A-Ning pouted and retorted.

"It's time to eat, don't chatter about the two of you," Ning's father smiled and brought in several dishes from outside the house, although they were all ordinary home-cooked dishes, but the taste of cooking was unique, all of them were the taste of Ah Ning's thoughts, Ah Ning helped his mother up, and the family of three sat at the dining table and ate lunch, and after lunch, Ah Ning remembered about Kong Yu.

"Dad, have you heard, the grandson of Grandpa Kong's family, Brother Kong Yu has passed the written test and has also qualified for the palace examination," A-Ning asked Dad in a cheerful tone, "Naturally, I heard that Kong Yu's child has been knowledgeable since he was a child, and he is also polite to others, he is a rare humble son, and now he can pass, there is no accident, I heard that he will be able to come back today, and the county princess has come here to greet him in person," Father Ning had a very good impression of Kong Yu, and he had already heard that this child had passed the scientific examination.

"Dad, I want to go and see Brother Kong Yu, can you go with me," Ah Ning asked Dad on the side, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient for Dad here, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for Dad to take care of your mother at home, you can go by yourself, see Kong Yu and say hello for Dad and your mother," Father Ning could only let Ah Ning go alone because he wanted to take care of Ah Ning's mother.

"That's okay, I'll finish reading it, I'll be back soon," "Okay, there are a lot of people going, you be careful not to trip over," Ning's father knew that although A-Ning looked very quiet, his temperament was actually very lively, and he was afraid that A-Ning would run around and be squeezed down by the crowd, and he didn't let the girl go to the back mountain, this girl sneaked out all day long while she was not at home, and for a while she was even more stunned.

After A-Ning came out of the house, he was very happy to see Kong Yu, who had not seen him for more than two years, and wondered if Kong Yu would not remember himself if he hadn't seen him for two years, after all, it would change a lot if he didn't see him for two years.

A-Ning trotted all the way and finally saw a group of people, led by the county master, dressed in red, standing in the middle of the crowd waiting for Kong Yu, A-Ning also leaned over and asked the people around him, "Is Kong Yu back," the man replied, "Not yet, I've been waiting for a long time, I haven't seen anyone yet, the county master is waiting here in a hurry, but I'm still waiting, maybe we can have a champion here in the future, do you say yes," A-Ning hurriedly responded after hearing it, "That's natural." ”

So A-Ning also stood in the crowd and waited, and after waiting for a long time and no one came, A-Ning suddenly remembered a big banyan tree that the two of them played with before, the book was at the foot of the back mountain, and few people went on weekdays, it was the secret base of A-Ning and Kong Yu, and Kong Yu always brought some delicious snacks at home to A-Ning to satisfy his hunger. Ah Ning didn't have any fun and delicious things, anyway, Kong Yu showed himself what he wrote, and Ah Ning blew rainbow farts, and every time Kong Yu heard it, he laughed, and he didn't have the appearance of a little adult in the past.

I remember that Kong Yu seemed to have said when he left, if he came back, he would go to the big banyan tree and the two would meet there, thinking of this, Ah Ning suddenly understood why he couldn't pick up people, Brother Kong Yu didn't like to be in the limelight, he didn't like a lot of people, he should be there now, Ah Ning hurriedly squeezed out the crowd and ran to the back mountain.
