Chapter 33: Happy Event?
The boss looked back and said angrily, "Why are you following me, why don't you go back to work soon?" ”
The mother squirmed and didn't dare to speak, and the boss was even more angry when she saw it.
"What the hell are you trying to say, I don't have time to mess with you here."
When the mother heard this, her heart sank, and then she said carefully.
"Boss, can we come into the house and talk?"
The boss saw that his mother was hesitant, and thought that the other party had something unspeakable, so he asked the other party to follow him in, and then closed the door.
After smoking the pot of cigarettes, Lu Feng drove the carriage to the market, and according to his usual habit, he first came to the door of a certain chamber of commerce, like most coachmen who had been waiting here, waiting for someone to call inside.
Because of Xiaoqiang's affairs, Lu Feng was a little depressed along the way, even if he had a job, his face was always preoccupied.
But for some reason, after a day of work today, the owner of the shop suddenly showed mercy and gave each driver a few more copper coins, which made Lu Feng's face gradually smile.
With money, Lu Feng thought about buying some food and drink for his wife and children, after all, the three of them haven't eaten anything good these days, and they finally made more money today, so they naturally want to treat their families.
So when he got off work in the evening, he bought a roast goose and walked happily towards the inn.
When he came back, Lu Feng found that his wife was already at home, so he took out the roast goose and smiled.
"Look, what I bought."
According to Lu Feng's thoughts, his wife will definitely nag and talk non-stop next, scolding himself for spending money where he shouldn't have spent, but Lu Feng has also thought about it, even if he is blamed by his wife, he will not refute it.
But the next scene surprised him a little, and instead of blaming, his wife smiled and called for herself to eat together, as if she didn't care about her own money at all.
Lu Feng asked strangely, "You don't blame me for spending money indiscriminately?" ”
The wife smiled, "What's so strange about this, anyway, we haven't eaten barbecue for several days, and my son is just growing up, and this meal of meat is just enough to replenish the two of you." ”
Seeing that his wife was suddenly enlightened, Lu Feng felt uncomfortable for a while, and he slowly came to the table and sat down to think about it.
Just then, his wife's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Tomorrow I'm going to take my son to the Academy of Magic to sign up."
A simple sentence instantly made Lu Feng not calm, and he asked without thinking.
"Ahh How can we afford to send our sons to school? ”
The wife said calmly.
"I told the owner of the tailor's shop about our situation today, and he promised to lend us two gold coins, and my salary in the tailor's shop will be halved in the future to offset our loan."
"Ahh Lu Feng was shocked by his wife's words, and he said incredulously, "How could the boss agree to us, after all, we have nothing to do with him, how can he borrow us money." ”
Mother smiled slightly, still calmly.
"I told him about my son's participation in the blessing of the temple, and he agreed when he learned that his son had a talent for magic, I guess it may be that he saw Xiaoqiang's potential, so he helped us, after all, no child who can enter the magic academy will live an ordinary life, presumably he also saw this, so he helped us."
As her mother spoke, she helped Xiaoqiang tear off the duck meat, and she didn't look at her father much during the period, and Lu Feng, who was opposite, saw his wife's appearance, and his heart suddenly became mixed and silent, and the joy on his face was gradually replaced by sadness.
Seeing that her father did not speak, the mother looked up and saw him staring at the plate silently, as if she understood something.
"Look at you like that, it's a great thing that my son can enter the Academy of Magic, why are you so sad, isn't it just two gold coins, when my son enters the academy, can't the two of us earn it for a year."
As if moved by his wife's words, Lu Feng showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and then picked up his dry cigarette, walked out of the house and squatted in the corner of the wall to smoke alone.
Looking at her husband's lonely figure, her mother's eyes showed a faint look of self-blame, but when his eyes looked at Xiaoqiang, that trace of self-blame turned into some kind of expectation, but in her heart, there was a trace of regret or it would not dissipate for the rest of her life.
Early the next morning, his mother took Xiaoqiang to the White Tiger City Magic Academy, and as soon as they came to the door, the two were stopped by the guards at the door.
"What are you two doing? Idle people at the gate of the White Tiger Academy can't stay, you leave immediately! ”
"Big brother, we're here to take the test, my son has a talent for magic and wants to go to the academy." Mother was busy.
The guard glanced at the mother and son up and down, then took out a form from the porter, handed it to the mother, and said confidently.
"Entrance fee 3 copper plates."
My mother was surprised when she heard this, and suddenly thought about what is called "entrance fee?" When the guard saw the woman in front of him hesitating, he stepped forward and reprimanded.
"Do you want to test or not, if you don't want to test, get out!"
Seeing that the guards were impatient, the mother did not dare to hesitate, and immediately took out three copper plates with body temperature from the pockets of the inner and outer three layers and handed them to the other party.
After receiving the form, my mother suddenly became embarrassed, because she had never been to school, so she thought of filling in the contents of the copper plate that she had just asked for to fill in the contents.
But as soon as he spoke, the guard immediately stretched out his right hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
In order for her son to be able to enroll in school, the mother had to take out another copper plate, and then helped fill out the form with a satisfied expression.
With the form, the mother and son were able to enter the academy, but they could not enter through the main entrance, as it was a passage arranged for the teachers and students of the academy.
The mother and son walked along the huge wall of the magic academy for a while and came to the corner of the east gate of the academy.
Using the form, the two of them successfully entered the magic academy, and then went to the room for testing new students after inquiry.
As soon as they entered, the two saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who was immersed in reading.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses slowly looked up and saw a mother and son walking cautiously into his eyes, as if he was impatient.
But the man's cultivation seemed to be much higher than that of the guard, and he did not scold or question, but asked calmly.
"You're here to test?"
The mother hurriedly replied, "Yes, my lord, I want my son to study at the Academy, he was blessed in the temple when he was young, and he has a talent for magic. ”
