Chapter 149: Heaven and Earth
Seeing that the insiders packed up the package and left, Tong Weihua no longer had the slightest anger in his heart, from this moment on, his fate has changed fundamentally, the previous comfortable life does not exist, and the next thing is to take the two children to survive, as for whether the son continues to study in the school, it depends on whether God takes care of it.

The children are still asleep and have not woken up yet, but Tong Weihua, who is in prostration, has begun to work hard to clean up the things at home.
There weren't many things left in the house, and when the insiders left, a few people came to help pull away a lot of things, but Tong Weihua didn't stop them, and no one could keep them, so the things went with it.
Breakfast still has to be eaten, Tong Weihua can't cook, and has never cooked, when he walked into the kitchen, looking at the empty rice jar, looking at the kitchen stove with almost no temperature, Tong Weihua shed tears again, forget it, or wait until his son and daughter wake up, go outside to eat something.
At that time, the son and daughter got up, perhaps knowing that something had happened in the family, the two who were still young did not cry, and looked at Tong Weihua silently.
Tong Weihua tried to squeeze out a smile and told his son and daughter that they were going to eat at a wine shop outside today.
Seeing a pair of children washed, Tong Weihua took the two out of the yard, he didn't even want to lock the door, there was nothing valuable at home, and he didn't plan to continue to live here, but how to arrange his son who was still studying in the school, Tong Weihua hadn't thought about it carefully, if it was possible, he would put it at his sister's house and let him continue to study.
In these years, if you can't study, I'm afraid you won't have any interest.
The street was still very quiet, and Tong Weihua, who was in good spirits, led his children and walked towards the nearest wine store.
The officials and public servants who were dismissed by the government could not hold their heads up in the government city, and they were afraid that their families would also be affected.
Looking at his son with a blank face beside him, Tong Weihua dispelled all thoughts, and still took his children back to the countryside, at least the countryside is much quieter, and his children will not encounter so many white eyes.
The wine shop had just opened, and Tong Weihua, who walked in, asked for a plate of beef, a plate of pancakes, and a few side dishes.
Watching his son and daughter eat breakfast silently, Tong Weihua picked up the wine glass and took a sip, it was still bitter.
In less than a quarter of an hour, breakfast was finished.
When I walked back, there were already some pedestrians on the street.
Some people who know Tong Weihua have completely different eyes, and they are hiding when they walk.
Tong Weihua, who suffered an unusual blow, turned a blind eye to all this, and along the way he instructed a pair of children not to continue to live in the city, to go back to the countryside, to pack up their things immediately after returning, and to leave within an hour.
If you don't owe rent, you just need to say hello to the landlord, and the wooden cabinets left at home will take the time to move out, and the landlord will not be particularly embarrassed if they are put in the house for three or five days.
Tong Weihua kept telling himself that he must persevere, and he must not collapse.
When I walked to the door, I saw that the door was open.
Tong Weihua, who was a little surprised, walked quickly into the courtyard.
"Brother, what's going on at home."
Tong Weihua saw his sister standing in the yard, and felt his eyes sour again, he instructed a pair of children to go back to the house to pack up their things, and watched the children enter the house before he turned around and spoke to his sister.
"I'm going to go back to the countryside, I'll leave today, with my son and daughter, and my wife has been sent away by me with a letter of resignation."
There was a look of surprise on the woman's face, obviously in disbelief.
"How did you get this step, why didn't you go to me yesterday, I have been waiting for you at home."
"There's nothing to do, so I'm embarrassed to trouble my sister, for so many years, I haven't been able to appreciate my sister's kindness, it's really a shame to think about it, I'm afraid there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future, sister should take care more."
The woman took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Brother, no longer do things in the yamen, it's not a big deal, if there are any difficulties in the future, open your mouth, my sister can help, I will do my best, my parents are no more, my sister has no relatives around her, you leave the city and go back to the countryside, my sister can only stay in the city alone."
"I'll come to Fucheng to see my sister when I have time."
"What about my nephew's schooling, don't you read it?"
"If I don't study, I was expelled by the Yamen, if I continue to study in the school, I don't know how many sins I will suffer, or go back to the countryside and be quiet and quiet."
The woman looked at Tong Weihua for a while, took out a brocade from her arms, and handed it to Tong Weihua.
"This is some money that I have accumulated on weekdays, you take it urgently, if you encounter any difficulties, you must remember to speak."
After the woman left, the small courtyard seemed empty again.
A carriage was already waiting outside the courtyard.
Tong Weihua stood in the courtyard, unwilling to even enter the house again.
The horses outside the courtyard neighed twice, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves appeared, and it seemed that the carriage was leaving.
Tong Weihua was a little anxious, the things had not been packed up yet, why did the carriage leave, he hurriedly walked out of the yard.
A man stood outside the yard.
This person Tong Weihua is known, it is Yuan Shichun, the chief general of the Hezhou Imperial Army, who is most trusted by the prefect Wu Shaogang.
"Why, I'm ready to leave Fucheng so soon."
Tong Weihua clenched his fists at Yuan Shichun and opened his mouth expressionlessly.
"Zai Xia is already a civilian, so naturally he wants to leave the city and return to the countryside."
"Oh, the mother-in-law of the family left early in the morning, leaving you alone with two children, it is indeed a little difficult, you must hate adults very much."
"Don't dare, it's all done by yourself, and you can't blame anyone for getting to where you are now."
Yuan Shichun looked at Tong Weihua and waved his hand.
Soon, several people in civilian clothes appeared outside the courtyard.
"You stay here and take good care of the two little children in the house, and if they ask, it is their father who has gone out on an errand and asked them to stay at home."
Tong Weihua looked at Yuan Shichun, his face turned pale.
"This, I'm already a civilian, I'm about to leave the city, I can't remember anything from the past, I won't say anything, I beg the military master to let me go...
Yuan Shichun's cold gaze swept over, Tong Weihua shut up knowingly, he regretted it very much at this moment, he had known that there would be such a situation, he left early in the morning, there was nothing valuable at home, where did he need to clean up.
Walking into the private room of the restaurant, Tong Weihua saw the prefect Wu Shaogang who was having breakfast at a glance.
Wu Shaogang's face was very calm, focusing on the dishes on the table, and he didn't even look up.
Tong Weihua's body began to tremble again, and by this time, he knew that he would definitely encounter something, otherwise there would be no need for the prefect to see him, the dismissed official.
"Tong Weihua, I must be very resentful of this official in my heart, he was dismissed by the government, his mother-in-law left, and his family was scattered, after all, he who had expressed loyalty in front of this official before, and it was still like this."
"I don't dare to complain about it, it's all wrong to do it before. . ."
"Don't blame yourself, you don't belong to the scope of retrenchment, all this was arranged by this official."
Tong Weihua raised his head sharply and looked at Wu Shaogang, his eyes were a little red at the moment.
"This official intends to give you a heavy responsibility, you must test your mind, but also see how your family is, I can't think of this small examination school, it will test people's hearts, your inner man resolutely left, without taking into account the relationship between husband and wife, even the official is surprised, but also you know people There is an error, fortunately, I met this opportunity, otherwise I don't know how you will die in the future."
Tong Weihua's body was weak, he could no longer stand steadily, and he knelt in front of Wu Shaogang.
Tong Weihua, whose body was trembling, was speechless at all.
"During this period of time, the official has been paying attention to you, since you have been here with the official, after such a long time, you have been able to remain calm and not reveal the slightest news, this performance is very good, the official has thought of this, let you go to the north to do things, as for what to do, Yuan Shichun will tell you in detail."
"This official will not force you, give you two choices, if you are not willing to go to the north to do things, then go to Hezhou, go to the county government to be a county lieutenant, but this life is like this, if you are willing to go to the north to take risks, this official can guarantee your future future, not to mention the county order or the like, at least you can know the state or above, you have been in the yamen for many years, know the many rules here, and the official will not easily promise, since you have promised you, as long as you do things with peace of mind, you can't run a good future."
"As for your pair of children, the official still stays on Tongchuan Fu Road, and the official has made arrangements to let your sister help take them to Hezhou to live, so as not to suffer some white eyes, your son continues to study in the school, and the yamen will bear the cost of the expenses. . . ."
As soon as Wu Shao finished speaking, Tong Weihua raised his head and spoke.
"My lord, my subordinates are willing to go to the north."
"Okay, this official knows that you will make such a choice, from today on, you are Yuan Shichun's direct subordinate, all matters are subject to Yuan Shichun's scheduling, in the future, your responsibility is extremely heavy, you must not take it lightly, this official believes that you can do it well, when you get to the north, it depends on yourself."
After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Yuan Shichun helped Tong Weihua up and began to explain carefully.
An hour later, Tong Weihua left the restaurant and walked towards his home, his steps seemed light at this moment, and his eyes were bright.
The task is extremely difficult, but as long as you have a good future, the risk is nothing.
When they entered the courtyard, their daughter and son were waiting.
Tong Weihua looked at the two of them, and his eyes showed reluctance.
"You follow me to my aunt's house, and you will live with my aunt in the future, and my father will take time to come back to see you." (To be continued.) )
