Chapter 39: Awakening
Time flies quietly, and the New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye.
With Cheng Zhongqian's hard work day and day, the fat on his stomach finally decreased.
He was upright, not leaning forward like ordinary people, and when he went to that station, it was a scenery...... It's the big beard on that face, it's really a bad sight.
So even if he succeeded in losing weight, Han Guoguo didn't believe what Ling Bao said that her father was the most handsome and beautiful man.
Hearing this, Cheng Zhongqian was calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was turbulent.
If it weren't for the conditions, he would have liked to go to the county seat every day to see it.
Even the village chief knew his determination to shave, and after going to the county seat to buy New Year's goods, he ran over as soon as possible and said happily: "Da Lang and his father, the shaving stall is open, you can go and shave!" ”
Cheng Zhongqian stood up with a "hoof" and was overjoyed: "Is it really open?" I'll go now! ”
The village chief was shocked, he had known him for so long, and it was the first time he had seen Cheng Zhongqian so happy.
Seeing that Cheng Zhongqian was about to rush out, the village chief hurriedly stopped the person: "What's the hurry, you go to that person's house to collect the stall and go home now, I asked, the boss will still be there tomorrow, you can go tomorrow." ”
Cheng Zhongqian thought about it, so he had to press it down.
"It's just right, it's time to go to the bookstore tomorrow to hand in the books." Cheng Yun sorted out the loose paper he had copied and put it in the cloth bag on the side, "Dad, I'll go with you." ”
Cheng Zhongqian bowed.
Lingbao was playing with her feet on the side, toe to toe, heel to toe, on her feet were the pair of new shoes that Cheng Yun bought for her, she was reluctant to wear them, she would only wear them when she was at home, because it would get dirty outside.
Hearing this, she grabbed Cheng Yun's fingers and asked, "Big brother, won't I go?" ”
Cheng Yun said: "This time, you and Erlang will stay at home, and my father and I will go." ”
He was still a little worried before he said it, he could see it. Lingbao likes to go to the county seat very much, and every time he goes, he is elated and in high spirits.
But Lingbao just nodded seriously: "Okay, Lingbao will wait for you to go home." ”
Cheng Yun couldn't help but laugh, and was always impressed by her cuteness.
Lingbao ran to Cheng Zhongqian again, held his knees with his little hands, and said with a smile: "Daddy, you are about to look good." ”
Cheng Zhongqian still didn't like her touch, gently brushed her hand away, and couldn't help but confirm to his eldest son: "Can I really see your mother again?" Will she not want to see me, will she really see me in order to see you? ”
Before he had shaved his beard, he was already full of apprehension.
He was well aware of his status, and if his wife came to see him, it could only be "incidental".
Not to mention that his wife didn't want to see him, knowing that it would be difficult for him to see him again after being exiled, she didn't see him once.
So even if it is "incidental", Cheng Zhongqian is also satisfied.
Cheng Yun touched his nose: "It should be possible." ”
Cheng Zhongqian lowered his head in frustration, he himself knew that there was little hope.
Maybe he really shouldn't have expected anything.
Cheng Zhongqian's eyes were moist, his nose was sour, and his lips were tight.
"Yes."
The girl's crisp voice sounded, and her tone was firm, without a trace of suspicion.
"Daddy will definitely be able to see my mother again." Lingbao gently touched his father's eyes, a little worried, is his father going to cry? Are you afraid that you won't be able to see your mother?
Thinking of this, Lingbao couldn't have said more seriously: "Don't worry, Daddy, we will definitely be able to meet our mother." ”
Cheng Zhongqian was not comforted, he hung his head and said, "You don't know what I did wrong, you ...... She said she wouldn't forgive me. ”
It's all thanks to this girl, and she almost said "your mother".
Speaking of which, Cheng Zhongqian was really about to cry, it was not an exaggeration to say that the sky was falling apart at the time, but now he still has palpitations when he thinks about it.
"Does Daddy know it's wrong?" Lingbao's innocent eyes looked at him.
Cheng Zhongqian choked slightly and nodded, he knew that he was wrong.
"It's okay, the eldest brother said that you can change your mistakes, and if your father knows that you are wrong, your mother will forgive you." Lingbao patted his father's hand comfortingly.
Cheng Zhongqian couldn't stand the weather here, his hands were frozen and cracked, and he didn't get good even if he smeared the medicine, just like the crack between them.
Cheng Zhongqian shook his head, no, his wife hates him to death.
"Yes, daddy likes mom, mom likes daddy. In the future, our family will be together forever. ”
This is what Lingbao believes in the most.
It may not rain and there may be no fish in the river, but they will definitely be together as a family.
His wife used to really like him, and the two of them were well-known in the capital for their deep affection, but now they are ...... Cheng Zhongqian rubbed his face and shook his head, not wanting to listen to it anymore, the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became.
Cheng Yun, who had never said anything and didn't let Cheng Yi say anything, suddenly offered a new idea as if he had been planning for a long time: "Dad, if my mother doesn't come to see you, you can take the initiative to see her." ”
Cheng Zhongqian: "I'm a commoner now, how can I see it?" ”
"Dad, you were just demoted to a commoner, and Your Majesty did not deprive you of the way to the imperial examination." Cheng Yun said slowly, his finger tapped the books on the table.
Cheng Zhongqian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head: "I can't." ”
He has never liked to study to death, and even his official position is obtained by grace, and the road to the imperial examination will not work.
"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work."
My father is actually very smart, but he doesn't like to use his brain to fight.
If you are willing to work hard, you don't know what the result will be.
"Your father is an unassuming man, he only has wind and snow in his head, otherwise with his intelligence, as long as he is willing to work hard, the ranking will never be too bad, but it's a pity. Yun'er, your family can only rely on you in the future. ”
This is what Cheng Yun's uncle said to him.
"Dad, because of those things, my mother was disappointed in you, don't you want to change her opinion of you on your own?" Cheng Yun's eyes were heavy, "Relying on us is not a long-term solution. ”
Cheng Zhongqian was struggling inside, as if there were two villains pulling, one said he could, and the other said he couldn't.
Cheng Yun took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Dad, do you want to be a stranger to your mother from now on?" ”
Cheng Zhongqian was stunned, and his movements were too large, almost knocking Ling Bao down: "No, I don't want to." ”
He dreamed of being reunited.
Cheng Yun showed an expression of victory in his hand and stabilized.
His wife's flowery smile came to mind, her eyebrows and eyes smiled at him, her lips opened lightly, and she called his name softly......
Cheng Zhongqian raised his eyes suddenly, startling Ling Bao, who was secretly touching his beard.
"Okay, I'll take the test!"
Cheng Yun was relieved, still a little worried that he would fall short.
Cheng Zhongqian had hope, and there was a smile on his face.
However, halfway through the laughter, he suddenly paused: "Our family, is there enough money?" ”
The poor can't even afford a stove and still go to school?
I'm afraid it's not a fool's dream!
