The way home this time felt particularly difficult.

After Zhao Yu returned home with a heavy heart, he entered the inner room without saying a word, climbed onto the kang with the wooden box, and sat in the corner.

It's just that Hu Shi saw that Zhao Yu came back with a wooden box, and followed up in the inner room suspiciously:

"Where did you get a wooden box? What's inside? ”

"Inside are some books, given to me by the old gentleman!"

Zhao Yu pouted.

"Books? How could the old gentleman give you the book? Did you kid steal it from the old gentleman? ”

Hu Shi suddenly exploded.

How precious books are, how could she not know? Who would give away this kind of thing easily!

snatched the small wooden box in Zhao Yu's arms, Hu opened it and saw that it was really a book, and then closed the lid and scolded Zhao Yu:

"You kid wait for the old lady, if you really steal it, be careful of your skin!"

Before the voice fell, Hu Shi had already hurried out of the house with a wooden box and walked towards the big locust tree in the village.

Just after a while.

When he came back, Hu brought back the small wooden box and returned it to Zhao Yu.

Then he didn't say anything, just asked Zhao Yu to put it away and not break it, and then went to work by himself.

Zhao Yu is so tired.

When Hu took the wooden box away, he was stunned.

After Hu Shi took the wooden box back, he put the wooden box aside, lay on the kang and fell asleep.

At noon, Zhao Yu got up and ate lunch, and then continued to sleep.

Zhao Yu's abnormality frightened Zhao Yongzhuo and the Hu family to think that Zhao Yu was sick, and hurriedly called Sun Langzhong in the village to check.

After Sun Langzhong saw that it was okay, the couple was relieved and let Zhao Yu sleep with his head covered.

And Zhao Yu's sleep is getting dusk.

Zhao Yu was woken up by the sound of conversation outside the house.

Hearing the sound of rustling outside the window, Zhao Yu woke up with a clear mind, but his heart was empty.

Got up and got off the kang.

After Zhao Yu walked out of the house, he saw that it was Zhao Yongzhuo and Hu Shi talking quietly in the courtyard.

And Zhao Jiqiang and Zhao Shuisheng, who came here to help in the morning, are gone.

However, seeing Zhao Yu come out with sleepy eyes, the couple stopped and looked at him silently.

"Dad, mother! What's wrong? ”

Zhao Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Zhao Yongzhuo and Hu Shi suspiciously.

The couple was silent for a while, and after glancing at each other, Hu Shi said softly:

"Yu'er, in the future, you will learn to read at home, old gentleman...... He can't teach you anymore......"

The last voice was choked, and after finishing speaking, Hu Shi immediately wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and tears fell down.

Zhao Yu didn't know why he heard Hu's words.

can see Hu Shi crying, his brain will 'boom', and the whole person will be stunned.

Stunned in front of the door for two seconds.

Zhao Yu said 'wow', rushed out of the yard, and rushed to the old locust tree in the village.

But as soon as he arrived under the old locust tree, Zhao Yu saw the old man's white cloth hanging, a piece of suona, and the sound of suona came out.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu, who was just stunned, rushed to the old man's house again.

But as soon as Zhao Yu's body moved this time, a big hand behind him suddenly grabbed him.

"Yu'er, you are still young, you can't see this meeting, listen to your mother, go back with your mother!"

Hu grabbed Zhao Yu and hugged him tightly into his arms.

Zhao Yu ignored Hu, struggled desperately with his hands and feet, grabbed the old gentleman's house, tears and snot flowed, and his mouth was wide open and he cried silently.

Hu Shi sobbed and snorted, and together with Zhao Yongzhuo, he took Zhao Yu home.

Back home.

Hu tied Zhao Yu to the kang, and Zhao Yongzhuo went to the old gentleman's house to help.

The people in Zhaojiagou are very simple, whoever dies, each family will go over to help free of charge, after all, everyone has an old man.

After Zhao Yu was restrained on the kang, he fell asleep again because he was too sad.

A day and two nights passed in a daze.

Early in the morning of the third day.

When the sun in the east showed a glimmer of light, Zhao Yu came to the big locust tree.

At this time, Zhao Yu regained his composure, stood under the tree, looked at the closed door of the old man's house, and his eyes showed deep sadness.

The old gentleman died of old age, and he went out of the funeral yesterday, and he spent his own money to do the aftermath, and he left the silver for the aftermath to the village old man before his death.

I have only been with the old gentleman for a few months, but the old gentleman has left an indelible mark in Zhao Yu's heart.

The old gentleman taught him to read and write, although he had known these for a long time, but he also sheltered him, Zhao Yu was very grateful to the old gentleman.

Especially the old gentleman's mind, bearing and kindness, even if Zhao Yu has a soul for decades, his heart is greatly touched.

In front of the old gentleman, Zhao Yuzhen took on the role of a child, and he could deeply understand the old gentleman's affection for him, which was a kind of love and expectation.

Zhao Yu was an orphan in his previous life and had never experienced this kind of feeling, but in this life, in addition to his parents, he deeply experienced it in the old man.

This is also the reason why the old gentleman passed away, and Zhao Yu was heartbroken.

Thoughts retracted.

Looking at the door of the old gentleman's house illuminated by the sun, Zhao Yu's eyes gradually became firm.

Then, Zhao Yu turned to meet the rising sun in the east, and said loudly:

"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......"

"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang, Feng Chen, Chu Wei, ......"

The crisp sound of reading aloud sounded in front of the old man's house, facing the rising sun, floating above the old locust tree.

In that air, in that light, there seemed to be an old face with ravines and ravines, showing a kind smile......

After five times.

Zhao Yu turned around, bowed to the old gentleman's house, and then walked back home on the rising sun.

......

It's not the same as it used to be.

No one told stories, no one taught to write, and after breakfast, Zhao Yu didn't have to go to the old man's house, and went into the inner room to read.

The old gentleman gave a box of books to Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu has been in a mess for the past few days, and he hasn't touched it, so he is ready to pick it up today.

Climbing onto the kang, Zhao Yu moved the wooden box to the low table, took out the books inside, and put them on the low table.

In addition to books, there are articles written by the old gentleman, a set of four treasures of the study, and ......

Taking out the last book, Zhao Yu looked at the bottom of the box in a daze, and then opened his mouth and shouted:

"Mother!!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Hu Shi, who was busy in the outhouse, wiped his hands, walked into the inner room quickly, and looked at Zhao Yu suspiciously.

Zhao Yu didn't speak, just pointed to the wooden box on the kang in a daze.

"What's that?"

Seeing this, Hu Shi walked over with a frown.

It's just that when he looked into the wooden box, Hu Shi was suddenly stunned.

I saw a piece of red cloth under the wooden box, and some broken silver was lying on it, and the amount was as much as five taels!

"Where did it come from?"

After being stunned, Hu's face changed, and he looked at Zhao Yu with wide eyes.

Zhao Yu looked lonely, handed Hu a piece of stationery, and said softly:

"In the wooden box, the old gentleman gave it!"

"The old lady is illiterate, read what is written on it with the old lady?"

Hu slapped Zhao Yu's hand away.

Zhao Yu pinched the letter paper and read it word by word:

"Yu boy, this silver and Rumeng learn, don't forget to study!"

After listening, Hu snatched the letter, flipped it left and right, and then sat on the kang with a gloomy expression.

At this time, Zhao Yongzhuo also heard the movement and walked in, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

But after listening to Zhao Yu's story, he also sat silently on the wooden pier in front of the kang.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Until a long while, Zhao Yongzhuo muttered:

"Old gentleman, this is to hand over his last thing to Yu'er......"

Hearing this, Hu Shi sniffled, and suddenly looked at Zhao Yu sternly:

"Hun boy, you listen to the old lady, you must study hard in the future!"

After that, Hu Shi looked at Zhao Yongzhuo again:

"You will go to the county seat tomorrow and find a private school for Yu'er!"

"Hmmm! It just so happens that I have made some rocking chairs in the past few days, and I will send them to the county seat tomorrow with Ji Qiang by the way! ”

Zhao Yongzhuo nodded and walked out of the room.

At this time, Hu took out the silver in the wooden box, and then drove Zhao Yu out of the inner room.

Zhao Yu knew that the Hu family was going to hide the silver, and he didn't care where she hid it, when he came out, he took a brush, and then found a wooden board in the yard.

Zhao Yongzhuo made rocking chairs in the yard, and the wooden planks were easy to find.

After a while, Zhao Yu found a boxy and flat plank.

Then, Zhao Yu filled some water with a bamboo tube, then sat in the shade of a tree, dipped his brush in water, and began to practice calligraphy on the wooden board.

At this time, Zhao Yu's mood has changed a little.

Influenced by the old gentleman, he felt that coming to this world should not only be to live well, but also to bear something!
