There was a hand dangling in front of him, Song Hong smiled, looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, I'm going back to the school hall first." Wait for my second uncle to return in a few days, and then come to him. ”

Song Hong returned to his gentle and humble appearance, and the young man watched him gradually move away, and said with emotion: "It's better to study." ”

On the side of Hukou Mountain, Song Ercai took the two men of the Song family to settle down, and when he came back after finishing his errands, it was already three days later.

Before leaving, the three brothers had already discussed, and they would take a break at the end of the month and go back to handle the separation of the family.

Song Dacai also agreed, since he had already taken over the errand, he was ready to split up.

On the day he returned to the town, just in time for the market, Song Er entered the door and drank two sips of water, and the shopkeeper came in and called him, saying that Song Hong was coming.

has been studying in the town for nearly ten days, and this is the first time Song Hong has come to the door.

Song Ercai put down the teacup, and when he went to the front hall, he saw Song Hong standing at the door of the pharmacy, and there were a few students standing not far away looking at the side, thinking that they were waiting for him.

"Second uncle."

Song Hong bowed, a scholar.

Song Ercai nodded, went to the door and asked, "After school?" ”

"Hmm."

Song Hong responded, but then began to be silent, and her mood was extremely low.

Seeing him like this, Song Ercai asked again: "Do you know about the separation?" ”

"Yes."

Song Hong arched her hand again and said with a little guilt: "My mother has already told me about the separation of the family. It's all for the Song family's court, and it's understandable to split up, but I don't feel very comfortable in my heart. ”

Song Hong straightened up, looked at Song Ercai and asked again: "Second uncle, is the nephew too bad to bear the heavy responsibility of the Song family?" ”

Song Er will mention the separation, which naturally has a lot to do with Song Hong.

But in front of himself, he couldn't say those words.

So, he smiled and said, "Brother Hong, you think too much." ”

Song Hong didn't believe it, and said a little self-deprecatingly: "Don't comfort me anymore, I used to be too arrogant in the private school, and I didn't know how thick the sky was." Others are self-righteous when they praise two sentences, and they feel amazing, not to mention the children's talents, and it is not a problem to raise people and scholars. ”

"Now that I think about it, I was ignorant, and when I came to town, I realized that I was just a frog at the bottom of the well, selling myself and boasting."

Song Hong's voice was a little choked, and Song Ercai looked at him unexpectedly, wondering if this person had been hit by something, and actually recognized himself.

"Brother Hong, no matter what happened before, you are still young now, even if it is too late to start over."

Song Ercai was a little relieved, he could realize that his shortcomings were not a bad thing after all.

But this is also a disguised admission of Song Hong's words just now.

Song Hong choked in his heart, and then said with a wry smile: "Second uncle, these days when I came to town, I knew that I was stupid and stupid, and I was not reading material at all. ”

He got to know himself deeply again, and Song Ercai frowned, knowing that he had something to say next.

Sure enough, Song Hong sighed and said: "This month is full, I want to explain the situation to the gentleman of the school hall to see if I can change the third brother to come over and replace the school, and I am also a waste of silver." ”

"You want to drop out?" Song Ercai's tone became a little harsh.

"Brother Hong, it's naturally a good thing to be able to recognize your own shortcomings, but it's not advisable to give up on yourself. What you have to do now is not to live up to everyone's expectations of you, change your mindset and try to achieve good results. ”

Family is a must to be divided, but Song Ercai doesn't want to have a reputation for forcing his nephew to drop out of school.

I felt that this person had grown up just now, and when I looked at Song Hong at this time, there was some indescribable color in Song Ercai's eyes.

Did he really think so, or did he come here to force himself?

Song Hong still looked that decadent, but after listening to Song Ercai's words, he raised his head with some hope in his eyes.

"Second uncle, you don't have talent, don't you think you're wasting money?"

"Talent does not depend on innate understanding, but on acquired hard work and experience. There are so many talented students in the world, is it possible that all of them are talented? All they have is perseverance in their studies. ”

"Brother Hong, we will solve the affairs at home, don't think about it, study in the school hall with peace of mind."

The nephew is still young, and Song Ercai would rather believe that he thinks too much than he wants to have so many complicated thoughts.

Song Hong was originally decadent, but after listening to Song Ercai's words, he pinched his sleeves and rubbed his eyes, looking very moved.

"Second uncle, it was my nephew who was wrong just now. You can rest assured that as long as you don't give up on me, I won't say those words again in the future, and I will turn this trust into strength and never disappoint everyone's expectations. ”

Song Hong bowed down again, and her words were full of gratitude.

Song Ercai sighed, helped him and said, "It's good to know, I hope you can work hard without looking at your original intention." ”

Song Hong nodded: "Second uncle, can I still show you those poems and articles in the future?" ”

"Naturally. In the future, if you need to come directly to the shop, you can find me. ”

"Okay."

Song Hong seemed to have unloaded a matter of heart, thanked him again and left.

In the distance, the students saw him coming back with red eyes, and asked with some curiosity: "The man doesn't flick if he has tears, what did your second uncle say to you?" ”

Song Hong sneered, and there was still a humble look when he faced Song Ercai just now, but he said helplessly: "What else can I do, I think I have no talent, and you want to force me to return home and let his son take over." ”

"No, it won't. Didn't you say that your third brother was only nine years old, and he also went to school in Mongolia when he came, what's the use? ”

Someone was surprised, Song Hong shook his head: "Forget it, don't mention this matter, no matter what, he is my second uncle." ”

"Then there is such a second uncle, and it is a shame that he is a child, which insults the reputation of scholars."

A few students complained two more sentences, and someone in the back suggested that it was difficult to come out once, so it was better to go to the teahouse and sit down.

can go to the school hall in the town, and most of the families have a little spare money.

Song Hong had already come out with them twice, and considering the purse that had been deflated, he opened his mouth to persuade: "The high school entrance examination is here, let's come back later." ”

"What are you afraid of in the middle school entrance examination?"

Someone asked: "Brother Song, didn't you say that you were assigned to us because you would be wrong in the previous entrance examination, and then you can get a class in the high school entrance examination." ”

Song Hong didn't know if this person was deliberately carrying him, but thinking of Song Er's promise to help him read the article just now, he nodded affirmatively: "Don't dare to say anything else, it can't be C." ”

"It's so bullish when I first came. Okay, when the time comes, I'll invite you to drink......"

*****

There are still nearly ten days before the day of separation, but the Song family has already begun to prepare.

Knowing that there was no hope of stopping it, the Zhou family didn't make any more trouble, but stared at the little things in the house and the chickens and ducks in the yard all day long.
