The dilapidated county government of Linyi County has become a lot deserted after the departure of Li Mingru, the prefect, and the people of the Wen Mansion led by Liu Dangxin.

Only the miscellaneous servants of the Xu family led by Xu Laosan, as well as Xu Chenan and Xu's mother, remained.

"Good son, let's go home. You will no longer be a hooligan. It's a real nobleman. In the future, I will no longer be afraid of being bullied at will. ”

Mother Xu grabbed Xu Chen'an's arm and said with relief.

Xu Chen'an, as the soul of a modern person, suddenly felt a tense in his heart when he heard the word hooligan.

Xu Chenan even began to suspect that his wife had also crossed over from modern times.

"Mother, the odd couple remains the same?" Xu Chenan asked tentatively at his wife.

Mother Xu frowned and saw that her son began to talk nonsense, and patted the back of Xu Chenan's head with some anger.

"Stinky boy, what nonsense? What chickens become dogs do not change..."

Seeing that his wife was reacting in this way, Xu Chen was also playing the drum in Anxin.

It seems that his wife is not a modern person.

So how do you explain the word hooligan?

Soon, Xu Chenan got the answer in his original memory, and it turned out that the word hooligan has a very long history.

Flow, that is, a person who has no fixed place of residence and no fixed place of residence. That is, the outcasts.

Hooligans refer to those who do not have a fixed occupation and do not have a fixed livelihood and income.

In this way, it seems that his wife said that she was a hooligan before, which seems to be very reasonable.

If it weren't for the Xu family to recognize his relatives, he didn't have the identity of the Xu family's son-in-law, wouldn't he be an ordinary hooligan?

"Mother, you're right, from today onwards, my son and I will no longer be a hooligan." Xu Chenan smiled and hugged his wife.

"Let's go, good son, let's go home." Mother Xu said that she was going to drag Xu Chenan home.

On the side, Xu Laosan, who was thinking of a way to solve these entourages who came out with him unconsciously, was in a hurry.

The people of the Ji family in Meng Zezhou are going to come to the Xu family tonight to talk about getting married. If you don't bring people back by tonight, you'll miss a big deal.

Seeing that the two girls were leaving, Xu Laosan hurriedly chased after them.

"Ouch, my old sister! There's no time, so let me take Childe away. "Xu Laosan didn't have the slightest shelf in front of Xu's mother.

When Xu's mother was still the eldest lady's personal ring, Xu Laosan was bullied by her a lot, and of course she was not less favored by her.

Xu's mother took care of her son and walked forward.

Without looking back, he said to Xu Laosan:

"Why are you in a hurry? My son has just washed his grievances and can't go back to change into a good clothes. I, a mother, can't let my son have a good meal. ”

"My son is going to go far away, and I, the mother, can't I pack some luggage for him?"

After listening to Xu's mother's words, Xu Laosan had no choice but to wave his hand behind him and signal his subordinates to follow.

When I came to Niujia Village outside the county seat, I returned to the thatched house that I was very familiar with in my memory.

Xu Chen'an's body and mind were greatly relaxed at this moment, seeing this small farm yard surrounded by tree branches, and seeing this slightly dilapidated thatched house, Xu Chenan understood that this was his home.

This is the home where I have lived for fifteen years.

After Xu got home, he went to the house and turned out a cyan scribe's robe, which was a little whitish after washing, but it was already Xu Chen'an's best clothes.

"Change your clothes, and my mother will make you a flatbread to eat."

Xu Chenan took the clothes and nodded. So he went back to the house and changed his clothes.

And Xu Laosan and a group of domestic slaves stayed in the yard obediently.

After a while, the stove outside the house was lit by Xu's mother, who took out the white noodles that she was reluctant to eat and some boiled yellow sweet potatoes that flowed with oil and kneaded them together.

Knead the dough into a yellow and clear shape, and then roll it out with a rolling pin into flatbreads.

Then put the flatbread in the pan without oil, and directly put it in a large iron pan to burn.

Soon, bursts of sweet smell came out.

When Xu Chenan changed his clothes and walked out, Xu's mother had already revealed a few golden sweet potato and white flour flatbreads.

Mother Xu put the three flatbreads she had just baked on a wooden plate and handed them to Xu Chen'an.

"Good son, eat more, in the future, you will eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and I don't know when I want to eat my mother's sweet cakes next time." Xu Mu said with a smile.

As a son who has been raised by Xu's mother for fifteen years, how can Xu Chenan not see that his mother is pretending to be relaxed now.

Xu Chenan didn't say anything, just picked up the big cake in his hand and began to devour it.

This is a flatbread made of white flour mixed with sweet potatoes, which is fragrant and sweet. Xu Chenan can only eat this bite during the New Year's holidays.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, take it back to the house and eat slowly." Mother Xu handed a bowl of sweet well water to Xu Chen'an.

Xu Chenan responded with a smile, and then walked into the house with well water and flatbread.

Xu Chen'an's thatched hut contained only a bed, a desk, and several large boxes of books.

Xu Chenan sat at the desk and continued to gobble up the flatbread made by his mother, and tears flowed down unconsciously as he ate.

Memories are pouring in like a tide, and the bits and pieces of the past fifteen years have all surfaced in Xu Chen'an's mind.

In order to provide for her education, her mother took over the job of washing clothes.

In order to allow himself to eat a meal of white noodles during the New Year, he even braved the heavy snow to go to the river to dig ice and wash clothes.

To this day, his mother's hands are still covered with frost-cracked wounds.

Xu Chenan understands his mother, why is his mother willing to be separated from him?

How could the son who had been raised for fifteen years be easily handed over?

Xu Chenan understands that his mother is a strong person, even if she is tired to death, she will still provide for her to study, Xu Chenan also knows that although the life of their mother and son is more sober, but now that she has grown up, her life will get better and better.

If it weren't for Li Wenpeng's bullying this time, the collusion between officials and businessmen, the scapegoat, and the bullying without scruples, he would have almost been beheaded...

If this hadn't happened, my mother wouldn't have been willing to let her leave home...

is the same as Xu Chen'an guessed, it is precisely because of this incident that Xu's mother recognized a truth, that is:

In this era, there is no status, no power, no power, even if you want to live well. Even if you are humble to the core, there will still be those who do not have long eyes and will not let you live well.

Therefore, the only way for Xu to let his son live well is to let his son change his identity as a commoner, gain power, gain fame, gain status, and gain wealth.

She is useless as a mother, and she can only protect her son in other ways.

Before, he despised many of the Xu family's behaviors, so he left the Xu Mansion and raised Xu Chenan alone.

And now that Xu Chenan has grown up, this return to the Xu family is to let Xu Chenan be a son-in-law.

At this time, Xu Mu, who was making cakes, couldn't control her tears anymore, dripping into the pot and dripping onto the cakes.

"Son, mother is useless. Mother can't protect you. Let's go back to Xu's house... Be a son-in-law... It's better than being with your mother and not knowing when you will be killed by those rich gentlemen. ”
