According to Xu's father's letter, he will come back at the end of September and the beginning of October. Xu Yuanzuo pinched his fingers and counted, yo, today is the twenty-ninth day of September, and my father is really a man who counts.

It's just that the father and son have been separated for many years, and they have finally reunited, and when they meet, they are greeted by "little animals", which is a little sad.

"Why don't you go to school?" Xu He asked loudly, ignoring that there were other people on the boat. In his opinion, a fifteen-year-old child does not need to "save face".

"I want to touch two fish to honor my father." Xu Yuanzuo hung his head, and he was very ashamed.

Xu He's anger disappeared a lot, and his voice also lowered, and said, "Is there a lack of money for two fish at home!" As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a lock of aquatic grass stuck to Xu Yuanzuo's shoulder, which was really a bit licking.

Xu Yuanzuo was not moved by him. As a time-traveler who has not yet left his parents for a full term, it is difficult for him to have deep feelings for his parents here. And because the life is very dull, firewood, rice, oil and salt, there is nothing that makes Xu Yuanzuo grateful for sacrificing himself to save his son and cutting his flesh to cure his illness, so now at best, he is not rejected.

Even so, Xu Yuanzuo sometimes feels guilty about his former parents.

So when he saw Xu He's reaction, he just wondered in his heart: Why didn't my father ask me how I knew he was back today?

"By the way, how do you know I'm back today?" Xu He asked.

- This father's brain is not very bright.

Although Xu Yuanzuo was slandered, he was still relieved, and said according to the previous draft: "Since I received my father's letter, the whole family is looking forward to my father's return, and if I can't look forward to it one day, I think that I can always come back the next day......" Xu Yuanzuo said that he was moved, but his father's reaction was a little strange.

He secretly looked at his father, who was not moved in the slightest, but was a little ...... Embarrassed.

――Is it because people in this era are very reserved?

Xu Yuanzuo's voice gradually became softer, and he finally swallowed the more explicit confession back to his stomach.

"Let's go home first." Xu He wiped the beads of sweat from under his nose and looked sideways.

Xu Yuanzuo has the guidance of Teacher Dai and the accumulation of countless readers, and his ability to observe words and colors can be described as a thousand miles in a day. He clearly saw a trace of guilt in Xu He's eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Xu He was uncomfortable by his son, and asked out loud.

Only then did Xu Yuanzuo realize his presumptuousness, and hurriedly said: "Father seems to have been reduced." He paused and said, "Father has been here for many years, and I think I have endured a lot of hardship. ”

Xu He gently patted the back of his son's head and said, "As long as the family is good, Dad should work hard." Men, they are born to support this family. ”

Others see that the father and son are quite envious, the so-called father and son filial piety, it is really full of positive energy, and people can't wait to fly home to reunite with their wives and children.

Xu Yuanzuo's heart was sinking little by little.

He couldn't tell where his father's guilt came from, the guilt of not being home all year? Or something else?

At this moment, Xu He's reaction was clearly not the guilt of not being at home all year.

On the contrary, there is still a little bit of weakness.

If it weren't for the limitations of father and son, Xu Yuanzuo really couldn't help but ask.

The father and son had their own minds and did not speak. Fortunately, the boat soon arrived at the dock, and Xu Yuanzuo grabbed his father's bag and carried it home.

"Mother! Father is back! Xu Yuanzuo shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.

Mother Xu shook the iron pot in her hand when she heard the sound, and ran from the back kitchen to the front hall in three steps and two steps, and saw her husband step into the door, untying his clothes and taking off his robe.

"Is it okay at home?" Xu He was not too moved when he saw his wife, nor did he rush up to hold his wife's hand, crying silently.

Xu Yuanzuo suddenly felt that the situation at home was a little weird, and it seemed that his parents had a bad relationship? He looked at his mother, but saw his mother rushing up in three or two steps, and said eagerly: "I have always made money this year, right?" ”

"Money, money, money, do you recognize money!" Xu He was furious.

"There's no money to eat! What to drink! Mother Xu did not shy away from it: "I have found Mr. to calculate, you have made money this time!" ”

"Can fortune tellers be taken seriously! Well, I've got the books. Xu He took out an account book from his luggage, which was much thinner than the one Xu Yuanzuo had seen upstairs.

"I made a total of eight taels and seven dollars of silver." Xu He said.

"Eight, two, seven? Didn't your family book also say that there are a lot of pure colors this time! Xu Muyun's fingers were like flying, and she quickly flipped through the account books, and she didn't know how much she looked into, but it seemed to be venting her dissatisfaction.

Xu Yuanzuo leaned over, and with only a glance, he recognized the familiar bad word - it was the hand of one person who was working with the account book upstairs. And the numbers are also artificially retouched.

Rough grooming, not even elaborate!

Mother Xu turned to the end of the account book, and sure enough, she saw the total balance of eight taels and seven dollars.

Xu Yuanzuo now memorizes the numbers like a god, and immediately thought that the balance of the previous account book was nine taels and six dollars.

"Is that book in my room upstairs from last year?" Xu Yuanzuo asked suddenly.

Mother Xu was angry, she didn't hear what her son said at all, and stuffed the account book into Xu Yuanzuo's arms: "Put it in the same place with that book!" She snorted angrily: "I went out in February, and now I only brought eight taels of silver when I came back, why do I still do this kind of business!" You have gone the farthest in the whole Zhuli, but the silver money is ......"

"Shut up!" Xu He shouted angrily: "Are you this woman going to rebel!" I'm tired outside, and I'm going to be talked about by you when I come home! How much money you have earned as this money! When I have a big backer, I can't do it! ”

Xu Yuanzuo didn't seem to be a simple vent when he heard this, but he secretly pointed to the side, quietly stepped aside, and listened to his parents quarrel while looking through the accounts.

Sure enough, Xu Mu said without showing weakness: "Didn't you have it originally!" My brother has taken you on many new paths! You don't have to complain about anyone! ”

"What do I have to be angry with! That's your brother trying to pinch me! I, Xu He, am not such a person who is manipulated by others! Xu He said quite backbonely, but Xu Yuanzuo raised his head and frowned, because he heard the weakness and shortness of breath in these words.

Xu Yuanzuo's impression of his mother's maiden family is very vague, and he only occasionally hears his mother talk about "brothers", but he doesn't know what kind of person this uncle is, and he doesn't know why the two families broke off later. According to Xu Yuanzuo's personality in the past, of course, he would not bother with such things, but now he is quite curious.

Speaking of which, he only knew his mother's maiden name Shen, because he had heard Lijia call "Xu Shen's" in a tone, but he didn't even know where his mother's hometown was.

"How is my brother like that! It's clear that you are doing evil to him! Mother Xu replied, thinking that the family's annual income was less than nine taels of silver. She added: "Because the family is poor, your son doesn't read anymore, and now he is all for Ah Niu." You go out for a year, but you only earn back this point, how can you live! ”

Xu He glanced at Xu Yuanzuo, and the fat on his face jumped: "You don't study anymore?" ”

"My family is struggling, so let my younger brother go to school first and then I will study." Xu Yuanzuo replied.

"Then what can you do! Eat rice at home! Xu He yelled at his son.

Xu Yuanzuo was also scolded and angry. He understands the power of patriarchy in the present, and he also knows that "filial piety under the stick" is still the golden rule of pedagogy. However, Xu Yuanzuo is very resistant to a father who makes false accounts, has a big temper, and does not care about the family.

"Although I don't read anymore, I can still write and calculate." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Master Lu also promised to help me find an errand in the county town, and the salary is enough to help the family." He paused and looked at his mother again: "Mother, do you still have to save this fake account?" ”

"What a fake account!" Mother Xu and father Xu shouted at the same time.

Mother Xu was surprised, and Father Xu was frightened.
