Chapter 4: A Difficult Life
An immature child's voice appeared behind Wu Qing, and Wu Qing turned around to see that it was a child about the same size as himself with a handful of hair on his head, and he was a clever person at first glance.
Wang Baishi said with a smile: "Wang Xiu, a good student learns from Wuqing!" ”
"Yes, father, the child knows." Wang Xiu's voice was immature, but he was polite and thoughtful.
Wu Qing sighed in his heart, this is the Tang Dynasty, even this little kid has an atmospheric demeanor that people have to admire. Wu Qing smiled and thanked, "Then thank you Brother Wang Xiu." ”
Wu Qing also ignored Wang Xiu's movements, recalled how to write the four traditional Chinese characters in his mind, and saw that the ink in the inkstone had been studied, so he followed the stroke, and Wu Qing knew that this was a sheep's hair pen, which was suitable for beginners to practice calligraphy. It's just that the paper is rough and quite inferior, Wu Qing sighed in his heart, although Wang Baishi runs a private school here, and it is free, he is not very rich after all, but he also has more respect for Wang Baishi in his heart, this is for the education of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, what Wu Qing didn't know was that the Tang Dynasty, whether it was a wealthy family or a scholarly family, paid more attention to fame, and Wang Baishi's free private school was not brushing up on prestige.
Wu Qing sighed, and seriously wrote down the words "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness", although there is no European body and willow body, but it is indeed written stroke by stroke, which is already very good for a three-year-old child, except for those super geniuses, of course.
Wang Baishi didn't have much surprise in his eyes, nodded, and then said: "The son can be taught, he will definitely have some achievements one day." ”
"Thank you, sir, for your advice." Wu Qing said respectfully.
With such a release, the day's studies are completed. Wu Qing knew the way out of school, was hungry, and ignored other classmates, so he flew to his home in the west of the village.
Ran to the house, saw that the chai door was closed, stepped forward and pushed, the inside was actually topped, Wu Qing felt strange, could it be that Aunt Wu was not there? The man was small and had little strength, and he didn't push it away after a few pushes, so he walked along the fence wall, wanting to go in first. I wanted to call my mother, but I felt bad about shouting like this, but fortunately, I soon saw a gap under the fence wall, and Wu Qing quickly got into it and walked towards the kitchen, wanting to see what was eaten.
But there was a sound of men and women arguing in the bedroom, Wu Qing was surprised, Wu Qing thought he had gone to the wrong door, so he quietly walked towards the middle bedroom.
"Call me today, have you figured it out, if you figure it out, you don't have to keep this bag of rice, just follow me home, and you two can live a good life." It's a man's voice.
"The surname Guo, you are also a man, if it wasn't for my husband who gave you the capital to do business, how could you be today, now you don't help it, forget it, you still humiliate me, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?" This is the voice of the Wu family.
When Wu Qing heard this, he rushed into the bedroom, only to see a man about to pull Wu. Wu Qing was furious, "Let go of my mother!" ”
Wu and the man obviously didn't notice that Wu Qing had entered the courtyard, and in a stunned state, Wu broke away from the man's groping hand, pulled Wu Qing in his arms, and said sadly: "My son is back so soon." ”
Wu Qing stared at the man, this is not a strong man, medium build, and his face is handsome, just a pair of godless eyes can be seen that this guy has been hollowed out by wine.
The man smiled, "In front of my son, to be honest, this bag of rice is yours." The man slapped the rice bag, and there was a hideous look in his eyes.
"To tell the truth, surnamed Guo, Qing'er will always be my son, you unconscionable brute, take your rice, let's go!" Aunt Wu said angrily.
The hideousness in the man's eyes was even worse, and he looked at Wu Shi and said with a cruel smile: "Since you said that Lao Tzu has no conscience and that Lao Tzu is a beast, then Lao Tzu will be a beast today!" ”
After that, the man pulled Wu Qing and threw Wu Qing out of the door, in an instant, Wu Qing felt that he was going to die again, bang, Wu Qing fell to the ground, his head was bleeding, maybe it was the pain that made Wu Qing not faint, he saw the man pounce on Wu, and he was furious.
Seeing Wu Qing being thrown out, Wu Shi didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was angry for a while, and kicked the man's crotch. But he was blocked by a man, and then pounced!
Wu Qing was furious, he couldn't wait to grow up at this moment, he didn't expect that once he came to Datang, he would be so poor, and now he encountered such a thing, he was furious, he was sad and angry, so he shouted loudly, "Help, kill someone!" Mother! ”
In a moment, the chai door was kicked open, and the people who came shouted, "The surname Guo, stop!" ”
I saw an old man with a limp, but he walked like a fly, and quickly entered the room, only to hear a few screams, and the man surnamed Guo was knocked out of the door!
Wu hurriedly ran to Wu Qing, and then hugged Wu Qing and checked Wu Qing's injuries, but fortunately, it was just a broken skin, Wu hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped Wu Qing's forehead, crying: "It's all my mother's fault that Qing'er suffers so much." ”
The old man walked out with a limp, ignoring the Wu family's mother, and said to the man: "Guo Xing, you are also old, and you are also a family and a person in the village, so you still bully this hard-working mother, how can you bear it, besides, you now have this family business, and you also rely on the help of Wu's deceased husband, and now that they are in trouble, it doesn't matter if you don't help, you still have to do things that are not as good as pigs and dogs." Get out, if I meet again, don't blame me for not talking about the countryside. ”
Guo Xing was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, lame, without saying a word, his face was gloomy and he looked deeply at Wu and Wu Qing who were crying, and turned to leave.
The old man didn't speak, he limped, went out, and after a while, he walked in with a sack and said to the Wu family: "Lady of the Wu family, don't cry, the world is difficult, you have to be a little stronger, this is the food I sent to you, and it can be regarded as for Wu Boy, hey, create evil." If you want me to say, you still get married, although you are angry, it is better than being abused by others without eating or drinking. Today I happened to be here to deliver food, if he is the day, hey! ”
Wu cried and said: "Uncle Zhang's kindness, the little woman understands it, now my son is three years old, if I remarry, Qing'er will have to suffer a lot of white eyes, so I can't bear it." Uncle Zhang's kindness can only be repaid by the title of the next life. ”
Uncle Zhang looked worried and said, "Uncle, I don't want to repay my kindness, but you are an orphan and a widow, and life is not easy." Okay, I'm leaving, this bag of rice is enough for you to eat for a while, if it's gone, come to me and get it. ”
Wu Qing silently looked at this stubborn old man, although he was lame, but the back of the slowly leaving, Wu Qing felt what a great person this was, he had never felt that a person's back could become so tall.
"Mother, I want to grow up quickly!" Wu Qing said.
Wu Shi hugged Wu Qing and rubbed his face distressedly, "Qing'er suffered, it's all her mother's fault." ”
So the mother and mother cried together, and the grief was enough to shock the earth.
