Volume 1: The Honest Young Man, Chapter 38

Zeng Zhuangrong looked at his thoughtful appearance and knew that he recalled the past, at that time he was about to faint with a fever, and he was still sitting in front of the fold, let him go to rest, he refused, seeing that the fold's eyes were all flowers, and finally he was really unable to rest in bed for a day. In the past, his life was really difficult, but now it is all good, and he can see the moon when the clouds are open.

"Hmm...... It's delicious......" "Don't rob Lao Tzu!" "This one is mine!" "This plate is all my ......", "That plate is for you, and the dumplings are for me ......", "I asked my father-in-law to wrap it, you have a little conscience for each of you!"

Several people were as if they hadn't eaten, grabbing the few dumplings on the plate, and eating one less could save half a year, which made several adults helpless and funny.

"Jian Yu, I left you a plate, can you eat some too?" Zeng Zhuangrong pushed a plate of dumplings in front of him in front of Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhen smiled and tasted one, it was shrimp filling, the taste was really good, and then pushed it to Ouyang Qian, "Qian'er loves shrimp filling, leave it to him to eat, next time we wrap some more together, I'll eat it again." ”

"Thank you, Father." Ouyang Qian protected the plate in front of him, picked up one with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, Nanfeng shouted, "Father-in-law is eccentric, and he wants to keep anything delicious for Lao Qian......"

"That's it! We're going to eat too! Fang Shi walked sideways, and Ouyang Qian wailed, "My dumplings!" ”

"I'll see when you'll be a little more mature." Yuan Zhen smiled helplessly.

After the meal, Ouyang Qian looked at the fan in his hand, even the corners were inlaid with high-quality jade, which must be worth a lot of silver taels, and immediately bowed to his father-in-law and said, "Son, thank your father-in-law for your reward." ”

"If only you liked it."

"I love it."

Yuan Zhen and Ouyang Qian went door-to-door to send pensions to the families of the casualties, watching their old people and their wives and children crying, Ouyang Qian also hated himself for not being able to let all the brothers return safely, but he also understood that if there is a war, there must be death, which is not something he can change by himself, he can only do his best to reduce casualties.

On the way back, Yuan Zhen asked him what he wanted to eat, he said he wanted to eat noodles, Yuan Zhen took him to a noodle restaurant to eat, Ouyang Qian told him some difficulties encountered in the barracks, Yuan Zhen gave him answers one by one, Ouyang Qian would show a suddenly realized expression from time to time, nodding while thinking, Yuan Zhen was still very pleased, he not only trained the recruits to have a hand, but also wrote down all the difficulties encountered in the barracks, knowing to come back and ask.

But after a while, I was attracted by a quarrel with a family not far away, which probably means that the noodles in this noodle restaurant are not delicious, and the unhappy atmosphere surrounds this small noodle restaurant.

Ouyang Qian looked over curiously, and the middle-aged man shouted roughly: "Is this thing eaten by people!" I don't even have to eat this stuff for dogs! ”

Yuan Zhen frowned, and his face immediately sank.

The middle-aged woman was still holding her three- or four-year-old child, and said a little timidly: "Let's eat something, I feel good, don't scare the child......"

"You woman knows a fart!" The man yelled at the woman viciously, and shouted, "Boss! The boss is out! ”

The boss was huddled in the crowd, and when he heard this, he came out and asked, "Guest, what's wrong?" ”

"What are you doing! Is it pig food? Is this something for people to eat? I can't even make a noodle, what kind of inn do you want to open! The man stood up with an unreasonable roar, and the child shrank into his mother's arms and looked at the man timidly.

Ouyang Qian also frowned and looked at him, and Yuan Zhen's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

"Guest officer, we've been doing this for decades......" Because the man was tall and strong, and his momentum was powerful, the boss trembled with fear.

"How many decades have you been doing this craft? It's time to close the doors in a few days! The man slapped his hand on the table, and the woman wiped her tears and hugged the child a little tighter.

Yuan Zhen's hand banging on the table finally stopped, stood up and walked over, glanced at the shopkeeper soothingly, signaled him to be relieved, turned to the man and smiled: "It's hard to reconcile, why is this benevolent brother so angry?" ”

"Where did you come from? What's your business! The man saw that Yuan Zhen was magnificent, and his momentum was a little weaker, how did this man look at it, he was a person who had no prospects, and looking at the reactions of his wife and children, he knew that he also had such an attitude towards his wife and children at home......

Yuan Zhen still smiled: "Everything pays attention to a rational word, even if the noodles made by this noodle restaurant are not to your liking, you shouldn't make such a big noise, after all, you are not the only one who eats noodles here, you will also disturb others." Besides, it's just that the face doesn't suit your appetite, so why be so aggressive? ”

Ouyang Qian got up and walked over to them.

"That's not what you have to do with it! Don't meddle in Lao Tzu's affairs! The man was just a person with little culture, and he couldn't understand Yuan Zhen's words, so he said to the owner of the noodle restaurant, "You invited me for this meal, and I won't care about you!" Then he turned to the woman and the child and shouted, "Don't get out yet!" Want to live here? ”

The owner of the noodle restaurant looked embarrassed, but he also had the right to be unlucky to suffer this dumb loss.

When the man wanted to leave, Yuan Zhen blocked his way, his eyes glanced at his noodle bowl, and said that it was not delicious, but there was not even a little soup left......

"This brother seems to be an old man, why make such an embarrassing storm in order to avoid these two bowls of noodles? You say that you don't eat it, but I see that there is not a single piece of noodles left in your bowl. I don't want to say more nonsense, leave the food money and get out right away! Yuan Zhen was laughing, but his face suddenly became serious, and the man didn't have a score in his heart, this person didn't look like an ordinary person, he was dressed noble and extraordinary, and if he continued to entangle, he was afraid that there would be trouble......

Turning to the woman, he yelled, "Take the money!" Are you dead! ”

The woman reluctantly took out some copper coins and counted them one by one, and handed over the face money, and there were not a few copper plates left.

Yuan Zhen saw the way their family of three got along, glanced at the poor child again, shrunk into his mother's arms, saw Yuan Zhen looking at himself, and buried his face in his mother's arms in fear......

I'm afraid that this woman and child have been abused by him for many years, Yuan Zhen thought in his heart, the man roughly pulled the woman's clothes and dragged them out, Yuan Zhen waved his fan from the bottom to the top, the man's hand had been opened, and he took two steps back with a painful cry, Yuan Zhen held the woman steadily, asked them to sit down in front of the table, and turned his face to the man and said coldly: "Get out!" ”

"What do you want to do!" When the man saw that he was holding his wife and children, he thought that he was going to snatch them, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and Ouyang Qian stopped him in front of him, "Get out, let me repeat it again, you will crawl out." ”

The man knew that he was not their opponent, so he snorted coldly and said inwardly: "You guys wait for me!" The man yelled and ran away.

Ouyang Qian went back to sit and found that his father-in-law was asking them.

"He doesn't go out to work all year round, and I do some needlework at home to support him. He likes to gamble, every time he loses money, he comes back and asks me for money, and when he doesn't have money, he beats me and the children, and says something unpleasant. My child is so young, I don't dare to communicate with outsiders now, I'm really afraid that she will affect her in the future......" The woman cried and wiped a handful of tears, and the child looked at the people outside timidly.

This matter is worse than I thought, and looking at this child's reaction, I am afraid that I have become disgusted with everything in the world. Seeing the big at the age of three, and seeing the whole life at the age of seven, Yuan Zhen understands this truth, frowned, turned his face to Ouyang Qian and said: "Help her find a job, arrange something to do, and the rest of her life can be regarded as a settlement." ”

Ouyang Qian nodded in agreement: "Okay, aunt, I'll arrange an inn for you and your children first, and then you come with me tomorrow, and I'll arrange for you to do something, which is enough to support yourself and your children." ”

The woman looked at them in disbelief: "How can you be so kind? ”

Yuan Zhen smiled lightly, elegant and noble: "Don't worry about what kind of liar we are, what can I deceive you like this?" Just follow him. ”

The woman looked down at the child, who was looking up at her, and she nodded with difficulty.

Ouyang Qian arranged a room for them, let them rest, and went back to the palace and entered the study: "Father-in-law, I have arranged a place for them to live, and they have already rested." ”

"Well, today I see the woman's shrunken appearance, and I know what this man usually looks like, and what is even more sad is that the child has been shrunk in the woman's arms from beginning to end, and he doesn't even dare to stick his head out. Qian'er, do you know a truth, three years old looks at life. ”

"Yes." Ouyang Qian nodded and replied, "The father-in-law is afraid that the child will grow up to be not a cowardly and useless person under that person's irritability and scolding all the year round, but a person who will go the wrong way, and he is afraid that that man will ruin the child's life." Speaking out for his father-in-law, he sighed and nodded.

"After all, he is still a child, and his personality was developed at this time, and now he is shrinking, and he will definitely not be able to become a big thing when he grows up. Over the years, the psychological shadow is serious, and this child is afraid that he will be hopeless in the world, and it is unknown that he will do something hurtful. Yuan Zhen looked out of the door with emotion, I don't know how many children are still suffering from family violence at this time, which affects the fate of their lives......

"The righteous father is compassionate and compassionate, and he is a wise man through the ages."

"If the bowl of noodles made by the shopkeeper today is not delicious, he will definitely have to take responsibility, because he didn't do it well. But this is simply the person who wants to escape the order, so he made up this high-sounding reason to fool people. Qian'er, you will have to do this in the future, if you do something wrong, there is nothing to escape, just bear it. But if you are like that man, your father-in-law will not spare you. ”

"The truth that my father-in-law taught me is the most precious thing in my life, my father-in-law, I will definitely become a useful person, serve my father-in-law and serve the Yuan Kingdom, and live up to my father-in-law's expectations."

Yuan Zhen smiled with relief: "My father-in-law knows that you are a good boy." ”
