Chapter Ninety-Seven: Calling It a Day

Du Anxing listened quietly and didn't say a word.

His appearance fell in Du Hepu's eyes, which is a very rare gesture of introspection. You see, how proud his son is! He has been accustomed to hearing praise since he was a child, how can he be convinced and preach!

Before that, Eleven had no interest in farming at all! Could it be that he wanted to take him to the field this time, and he didn't object!

This kid, has he really figured it out?

"Eleven, Dad doesn't understand any big truths, and he doesn't read as many books as you, but Dad wants to tell you that you must be down-to-earth and do your part." Du Hepu thought of his deceased father, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"When your grandfather was still alive, he always said a sentence, he said, how much food makes how big a bowl, people have to do what they can in this life! Eleven, don't you want to study anymore in the future? ”

Du Anxing thought for a while and shook his head, "All these years, I have read in vain, Dad, I have no talent for reading." ”

Although Du Hepu was very reluctant to hear this, his son had already said it, and he had to face the reality.

That's it! Even if Eleven wants to study now, I'm afraid that my mother and eldest brother won't agree! When did such a good child become?

He shouldn't have been sent to the academy in the first place, he should have been like the kid in the Chi family, and find a master to study near his home, so that he wouldn't be too far away from his family, and that would not happen.

During his illness, Du Hepu repeatedly summarized the reasons why Du Anxing embarked on the road of gambling and vice of money. He believes that it is because his family is too far away from Du Anxing that he has made a few bad friends in the academy and has been taken badly.

Du Hepu, like most fathers, is looking forward to his son Jackie Chan. What's wrong with his son, even if he gambles, he must be ruined by others.

"Eleven, have you thought about what you're going to do in the future?" Du Hepu asked, "Do you want to farm at home like Ankang?" ”

Du Anxing shook his head without thinking, he had only worked for half a day, and he was already exhausted, and he still hadn't recovered yet! How could he be like that stupid big man and do such a deadly job for the rest of his life.

"I haven't thought about it yet! Dad, do you want to believe me once, I will definitely stop gambling in the future, I will work hard, learn skills, even if I don't study, I will definitely get ahead in the future. ”

Du Hepu almost shed tears, because he could hear that what his son said was sincere.

"Dad doesn't expect you to get ahead, I just hope you can be good and be a good person."

Du An nodded uncontrollably, grabbed Du Hepu's hand and said, "Dad, I will never be again, I will definitely be a good person." ”

In the distance, Du Heqing and Du Ankang took in the interaction between the two masters.

"I don't know what the second uncle said to Eleven!" Du Ankang stomped the mud on his feet and said to Du Heqing: "Dad, do you think eleven can be changed?" ”

Gambling money, but the demon that haunts people's hearts, can't be changed in a day or two.

"Change?" Hum! Du Heqing thinks that he can see people better than that stupid brother. If Du Anxing can change it......

Alas, his own knife cannot sharpen his own handle.

"Work~" Du Heqing no longer wants to continue to talk about this kind of uninteresting topic.

I hope he can change it!

At noon, Liu and Zhang came to deliver a meal.

Liu came to deliver food, but Zhang came to visit Du Anxing.

As soon as he saw that Du Anxing's hands and feet were covered with blood blisters, Zhang's heart was distressed, tears crackled and fell, and his mouth kept shouting, "Let's stop doing it, let's go home!" Lao Du's family hasn't used you to work for so many years, still fetching food and eating, you go home with me! ”

Du Hepu glared at Zhang viciously, "What's the howl, what's the nonsense?" Hurry up and get out of here, don't be embarrassed here. ”

Liu smiled happily, "Second daughter-in-law, what you said, we didn't let him come to the eleventh day." Besides, you two eat less rice from Lao Du's family? Don't talk like we're doing it for you. ”

Du Hepu's face was about to be ruined.

Zhang's was right, she was about to say something, but was pulled by Du Anxing, "Mother, go back, I still have to follow my father to turn over the ground!" I've got to finish this one today. Go back! After speaking, he walked to the field with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and wanted to change shifts with Du Ankang to support the iron plow.

This work is relatively light, and the more laborious work is land preparation. To prepare the land, you need to use a pickaxe to level the ploughed ground little by little, and you need to break up the large clods of soil that have been turned over, and occasionally squat down to pick up the stones in the soil.

What seems to be an idle job is actually very laborious.

Du Anxing's hands were already full of blood blisters, and he couldn't hold the pickaxe at all, so he could only do the work of supporting the iron plow.

Zhang stood in the ground, stunned, how could Eleven seem to have changed as a person!

Liu put away the dishes and chopsticks without making a sound, and didn't wait for Zhang, turned around and left.

After everyone walked more than 20 meters, Zhang Shi reacted and hurriedly chased after him, "Sister-in-law, you wait for me!" ”

The sun is hanging in the west, and the fiery red sunset hangs abruptly in the sky.

It's not easy to see the sunset this season.

Du Heqing looked at his own land and nodded with satisfaction, today's efficiency is not bad.

"Well, pack up, go home."

"Well, all right."

Du Hepu and Du Anxing also packed up their farm tools.

"Let's go, let's go back!"

Du Anxing's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and with every step, he felt the blood bubbles on his feet hurt. His shoulders and arms were already discounted. The whole person was weak, as if he was stepping on cotton.

It's so tired, since he was a child, he has never tried to be so tired.

Reading is not a pleasant thing, but compared to doing farm work, reading is like falling into a nest of blessings.

It's hard to recover when it's covered with water! He just wants to go back to study now, but I'm afraid he won't be able to read.

When a few people returned home, the smell of food was already wafting from the small courtyard.

Huzi shouted: "Dad is back." He shouted and ran into the house.

Du Yuniang smiled: "Okay, it's time to eat." ”

It's not for nothing that the little guy is active, because Du Yuniang made braised pork stewed dried beans today, and fried a cabbage slice, and the staple food is Erhe noodles Wowotou, millet porridge.

When it's time to work hard, the food has to keep up, otherwise, where will you have the strength to turn over the land and farm!

The men put down their farming tools and rubbed the mud on their feet at the door.

Liu Shi fetched hot water to wash their faces, and said, "I'm all tired, hurry up and wash up, and eat immediately." ”
