"The child is, it's hard to say for the time being, it depends on the child's ambition." Grandmother Dai knew that her daughter-in-law Liu was talking angrily and did not argue with her. She heard her son Wen Jing talk about the two sentences of "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither" and "a few people will return to fight in ancient times", and the cruelty and danger of the war are self-evident, so she did not send her four sons to join the army.

Wen Jing studied in private school for a few years, the most filial piety, followed his father to do business abroad for many years, and the other three were doing a small business at home, barely living, and had a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, especially after the death of his old father (Gong Mincheng), he did not come to visit his mother several times a year. Every time I think of this, Dai really wants to leave Liu and Changyu behind, go to Huangquan Road to follow the deceased husband and deceased son, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, how can he not break his liver and intestines?

The daughter-in-law Liu is not in good health and is still struggling to support the family, and the child Changyu is the only reason why she has the courage to live. Although her son doesn't like to go to school, she believes that if she doesn't take the imperial examination, she can also make her family prosperous by doing other things, such as selling coolies, doing business, throwing pens and following Rong, and forcing her son to smash books, which will harm him.

"I have to go to the school tomorrow." Liu glanced at his son, who was still honestly kneeling on the ground, "Old learning, get up, it's time to eat!" ”

"I don't get up, I haven't asked my ancestors about the past, if I want to go to school tomorrow." Gong Changyu put down the basin of water and kowtowed to the shrine three times, "Ancestors and ancestors, will the younger generation continue to study or not?" ”

Then, he took out a copper plate from his coat pocket and pinched it in the palm of his hand, clasped his palms together and closed his eyes, and said to himself: "Facing up means agreeing that I don't study, and as for facing down, then I have to continue studying." ”

Liu and Dai stood on both sides of Changyu, tacitly knowing each other, everything went naturally, and everything was decided by the ancestors and ancestors. I saw Chang Yu open his palm, sandwich the copper plate between his index finger and thumb, and flick it hard, the copper plate flew into the air, and fell to the ground face down, he was so nervous that he slapped his forehead suddenly: "This damn copper plate, I still have to go to school tomorrow!" ”

After the copper plate hit the ground, it rotated for a while, and fell to the ground with a "bell", facing up!

"Mother, grandma, look, the ancestor has agreed-" Gong Chang shouted ecstatically when he saw that the copper plate had landed according to his wishes.

"Really?" The two adults took advantage of the dim oil lamp to open their eyes wide, and sure enough, the front of the copper plate was facing upward, and it was so providential that it was difficult to say anything.

Dai Shi took Chang Yu's hand and asked him to get up: "Since the ancestors have allowed it, don't go to school, go wash your hands." ”

"Hmm." Chang Yu picked up his trouser legs, looked at the wound on his knee that was pierced by the porcelain piece, didn't care, ran to the bamboo water pipe, hurriedly washed his face, returned to the dining table, and saw that it was his favorite loach fried chili pepper with coriander, he couldn't help but grab one with his hand and throw it into his mouth: "Mother, this loach is so delicious, how to eat it is not too tired." ”

"Son, your hands are still dripping, go get a towel and dry it." Liu said with a smile.

"No, I'm hungry...... Chang Yu shook the water in his hand, couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, and suddenly found that there was no rice in the bowl, and asked, "Mother, is there no rice at home?" ”

"There's only a little bit of rice, so I can only drink porridge tonight......" Liu turned his face to wipe his face with the corner of his clothes, not wanting his son to see the tears in her eyes.

"It doesn't matter if you drink porridge, it's better than nothing." Chang Yu took the bowl, walked to the Ding jar and scooped up the porridge, and held the first bowl to grandma: "Grandma, this is yours." ”

"My little grandson is so good." Grandmother said with a smile.

"Grandma, I'm not good, I don't study well, and I make my mother angry." Gong Changyu gave another bowl of porridge to Liu, "Mother, this is yours." ”

"Child, my mother beats you for your good, hits you, and hurts in my mother's heart." Liu said, "Jade can't be made without cutting."

"yes, I see." In the end, he added a small half bowl of porridge to himself, returned to his seat, drank it all at once, and said while licking the bowl: "Mother, early tomorrow morning, I want to go to my aunt's house." ”

"What are you going to do?" Liu asked.

"Borrow money from my uncle to buy rice." Chang Yu put down the bowl.

"Don't go, they haven't given us less money and food over the years, and the favors owed will have to be repaid after all." Liu sighed, "Who made your father die too early, hey......"

"Mother, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring. Aunt Youen and the Gong family, you have a good note, and when I have money one day, I will pay it back tenfold. Chang Yu thumped his chest.

"Child, don't you know, your aunt has been married to Tangwei Chong for almost ten years, and she has not given birth to a son, and her life is not easy." Dai took a little salted cabbage, put it in the porridge and stirred well.

"Then I'll be my aunt's son." Chang Yu grinned.

"Your uncle has such an idea, and he told me several times, but I didn't agree." Dai frowned, "It is absolutely not okay to be a son of the Zhu family, I only promise to let Lao Xue be a righteous son." ”

"Mother, I don't want to study anymore, my sister accepted him as a righteous son, maybe there will be a son." Liu said. She has no bottom in her heart about Gong Changyu's education, and she has long had the idea of sending her son to her brother-in-law's house.

"I remember when Qi Room drank Lao Xue's three dynasties wine at my house, he said that if Lao Xue was fostered in Zhu's house, your sister would be happy (pregnant), and she would have four sons in a row in her life." Grandmother Dai smiled.

"Mother, my brother-in-law is a wizard, and what he says is not to be believed. But when he spoke, we gave him his wish. Tomorrow morning, I will take my old school and go to Zhujia's house to talk about it. Liu said.

"Okay. If Lao Xue goes to Zhu's house, it will be difficult for me to see you. Dai stopped, touched Changyu's face, hugged him in his arms, and kissed him again and again.

"Grandma, don't worry, if I really made a son for my uncle, I will let my uncle take you and my mother over and live together, won't you be able to see me every day?" Chang Yu snuggled in his grandmother's arms, looked at his grandmother's wrinkled face, and said innocently.

"Little grandson, your uncle is kind-hearted, I'm afraid that the young grandmother will be sad." Dai said.

"Do you mean Aunt Silvermoon?" Chang Yu asked.

"Hmm. She gave birth to two daughters, and she will definitely prevent you from passing on to the Zhu family. Dai replied.

Gong Changyu stretched out a finger: "Grandma, you are too careful." I know that the Tangwei Chongzhu clan has a tradition that cannot be shaken, and daughters are not allowed to recruit sons-in-law at home to inherit the family business. ”

"Who did you listen to? Silly boy. Dai smiled.

"I listened to those adults who gambled and guessed the size, a few of them came from Tangwei, and it didn't matter if they lost it all every time, what did they say that the eldest and second young grandmothers in the Zhu family compound could not give birth to a son, and the silver in the family would be confiscated sooner or later." Gong Changyu took out the copper coin and gently placed it in the palm of his grandmother Dai's hand.
