Su kindly got the silver and came out of the restaurant with a spring breeze on his face.

As soon as he walked two streets, he saw a man in tattered clothes walking slowly in front of him, and although it was only his back, he recognized it at a glance. So the bouncing improvement went to the man and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.

As soon as the man turned around, it was indeed Yun Qing.

Su Haoyi saw Yun Qing's face, swallowed back halfway through his words.

"What are you ......" Su Haoyi noticed that Yun Qing had a white hemp rope tied around his waist, obviously because there was a funeral at home: "Your father ......"

Yun Qing lowered her head and whispered, "My father and he passed away." ”

It turned out that Qiu secretly followed Yun Qing up the mountain to snatch his book that day, and Yun Qing was extremely upset.

Therefore, when he went back a little later than usual, Qiu Shi took Yun Qing's book and exchanged it for wine and got drunk.

Yun Qing's father was paralyzed in bed, he wanted water to drink but couldn't call anyone, he fell out of bed by himself, and died in two days after that.

Su kindly pulled Yun Qing to a secluded place on the side of the road, and asked him with concern: "How is the old man's funeral arrangement?" ”

Yun Qing shook her head with difficulty and did not speak. He came out to borrow money today, wanting to bury his father, but he didn't borrow a penny.

Su Hao understood that he was so opinionated, and asked him again: "Is there a cemetery?" ”

Yun Qing nodded, although his family was poor, he had been from the capital for several generations, and he had an ancestral tomb.

"Then there is still a coffin and inviting Yin and Yang Sheng, in addition, relatives and friends come to mourn, always prepare a few tables of chowder, and buy some paper money incense candles." Su Haoyi seriously calculated for Yun Qing: "Relatives and friends can help carry the coffin, and there is no need to spend money to hire people." In this way, when it is fully counted, seven or eight taels of silver are enough. ”

Seven or eight taels of silver is indeed not much, but it is more difficult for Yun Qing than to ascend to the sky.

Of course, Su Haoyi knew that Yun Qing had no money, so she took out the fifty taels of silver she had just recovered from the fourth master and stuffed it into Yun Qing's hand.

Yun Qing instinctively refused, Su kindly held his hand tightly and said, "You take this silver, don't shirk it." The two of us have known each other for so many years, and I didn't dare to insult you with silver, knowing that you are a backbone. But now is different from the past, my father's bones are not cold, and he must always be buried as soon as possible. In addition, I think that your father is gone, and your stepmother will not guard it anymore. It's just you, even if you're lonely, you can still read quietly.

Here is fifty taels of silver, the most general private school in the capital, a year's bundle also costs five taels of silver, plus some paper and pen, always seven or eight taels. Although this amount of money is not much, in addition to the money for taking care of the old man's affairs, there are still forty taels left, which is enough for you to study for a few years without distraction.

You have to fight against your fate, and you might win! ”

Yun Qing really didn't refuse again, and forced her tears to say thank you.

Su kindly patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Your family lives in Niujiao Alley, right?" Wait for tomorrow when I go to mourn the old man, and I will do my best. ”

Then Su left with good intentions, and Yun Qing staggered to the river where there was no one, and cried loudly.

After calming down, Yun Qing took the money given to him by Su Kindly, went to the coffin shop to buy a coffin, and bought a life jacket for the old man. The funeral was ready, and the funeral was carried out on the second day.

Neighbors and a few relatives helped to bury Old Man Yun.

Su Haoyi also went as promised, wore a plain clothes, and gave a Mo paper money.

After the family and friends dispersed, Qiu lay on the bed and thought about what to do next.

She is so lazy and used to it, and she doesn't want to rely on Yun Qing for her life, not to mention that this kid must have borrowed a lot of silver in order to hold his father's funeral, so there is a big hole to fill.

But for a while, she couldn't find her next home, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The sky was getting dark, and Yun Qing didn't know where to go. Qiu Shi muttered, her stomach gurgling, and the chowder she had eaten for lunch had been digested.

Just as he was about to scold, Yun Qing came in with a bowl of soup, Qiu's nose was smarter than a dog, and he got up with a grunt and said, "What a fragrant chicken soup!" Where did it come from? ”

"It's from Aunt Wang next door, you can drink it while it's hot." Yun Qing said and handed over the bowl.

Qiu took it like a gluttonous man, and didn't forget to glance at Yun Qing and said, "Count your kid filial piety." ”

Then I didn't care about the heat, so I drank a bowl of chicken soup in two bites.

"Mother, although my father is gone, my son will be filial to you in the future." Yun Qing lowered her eyebrows and said smoothly.

"Since you have such a conscience, then I won't go back to my parents' house." Qiu Shi got off the donkey and said, "You go to bed early, and go up the mountain to chop wood early tomorrow." ”

Yun Qing nodded, took the bowl and went out.

After a while, a cool breeze began to blow outside, and it began to rain sporadically.

The rain became heavier and heavier, like God had lost his mind.

Qiu rolled around on the bed in pain, her moans muffled by the sound of the rain, and her neighbors couldn't hear her.

Yun Qing lay in another room, the hardwood planks were damp, and her back hurt. He didn't sleep, but stared at the dark night with his eyes wide open.

It was like his life, dark and messy.

But there will always be a time of dawn!

Yun Qing touched the hard silver in his arms, and the person who gave him the silver floated in his mind, she was the only light in his life.

The next morning, when the rain stopped, the neighbors found that Qiu was paralyzed, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and the corners of his mouth were drooling, and he couldn't say a word.

And Yun Qing was kneeling beside the bed, carefully feeding her porridge.

The neighbors inevitably hugged Yun Qing: "Your stepmother is really vicious, and she doesn't treat you well every day on weekdays." Now that she's like this, you're going to serve her in turn! It's really unreasonable. ”

"Yes, if she is your own mother, there is nothing to say, of course you have to be filial to her. If she had been nice to you, she would have been able to say so. Now that she has become a burden to you, you haven't married yet, so send her back to her parents' house as soon as possible. Another outspoken man said.

Some people also think that Yun Qing's life is not good: "This child's life is too hard, he has no mother since he was a child, and he can't count on a father." Now that I finally got rid of the burden, my stepmother was paralyzed again. This god really doesn't have long eyes. How can you be a one-man pit! ”

Of course, some people praised Yunqing's filial piety: "This child is loyal and filial, isn't Wang Xiang in the twenty-four filial piety so filial to his stepmother?" Later, he became a great official, which is all blessed. ”

Despite everyone's discussions, Yun Qing only followed her own ideas.

He honestly takes care of his stepmother, serving and urine, and is more dedicated than serving his father.

He has also found a private school, and Mr. is an extremely rigid and serious person, and if he disagrees, he will take out an iron ring ruler and beat him.

It is also because of this that he has very few students there, and the bundle is only five taels of silver.
