14 Chapter 14

For military families, learning martial arts and joining the army is the best way to change the court, if you go to study literature, not to mention that military households cannot participate in the imperial examination, just those students who are above the top will not be much kind.

That's why Huo Chengzhang is so intense.

But Huo Chengzhang used the word harm too heavily.

He was born with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he is also cheerful and lively, so Cui Yunzhao can occasionally talk to him.

I just don't know that he will use such words to describe the eldest brother who is trying to support his family.

Cui Yunzhao didn't go to see Huo Tan, she didn't think Huo Tan would be angry about these trivial things.

But to her surprise, Huo Tan was indeed not angry, but he became more and more strict with Huo Chengzhang.

"You say I'm hurting Twelve? What about you? ”

Huo Chengzhang was stunned.

After a while, his face turned red: "Brother, why did I hurt Apu?" I accompany him to and from school on time every day, and I dare not delay a day, no matter how my classmates invite, I only have lunch with him and go home from school together. ”

When Cui Yunzhao heard this, he sighed in his heart.

In the end, he is still a child, maybe in Huo Chengzhang's heart, he sacrificed his time to play, accompanied his younger brother to go up and down, and ate with him, which was a good care.

But he eats with Huo Chengpu every day, but he never finds the small scars on his body.

Huo Chengpu is a very silent child, usually he goes back to his bedroom after dinner, and he doesn't come out to play easily, most of the time, so the family doesn't find anything wrong with him.

Cui Yunzhao thinks about it now, when he has no scars on his body or is in a good mood, he will sit under the jujube tree in the yard and quietly watch the family members playing in the yard.

Huo Chengzhang didn't notice the childishness in his words, he was still very aggrieved: "I could have gone to the Li family martial arts school a long time ago, but Apu is too young, so I will still accompany him to study at the Zhang family." ”

Huo Tan has been very busy.

Except for the days of marriage leave, he always goes out early and returns late, and there are countless things in the camp that he has to do.

He has never worried about family affairs.

Now seeing his two younger brothers like this, Huo Tan suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

The second brother has been lively and cheerful since he was a child, he looks at everyone and smiles, Huo Tan has never found that Huo Chengzhang's character is a little more selfish.

He is thirteen years old, not three years old, not ten years old, many thirteen-year-old boys can stand up to the door, Huo Tan himself just turned fifteen and went into battle to kill the enemy and became the head of the family.

Huo Chengzhang has never had the consciousness of taking care of his family, and he thinks that all his "pay" is very hard and not easy.

In other words, he felt that he was being dragged down by Huo Chengpu.

But Huo Chengpu was too weak and cowardly, he didn't say anything, and his mother and brother would not tell the pain.

I don't know if I lost trust in them, or if I waited for someone to take the initiative to redeem him.

But in this world and underground, there has never been a way out of blindly retreating.

Huo Tan sighed.

Cui Yunzhao moved his ears and turned his head to look at him.

Huo Tan felt her gaze and looked back at her.

At this moment, Huo Tan's eyes had indescribable tiredness.

Cui Yunzhao suddenly understood Huo Tan's thoughts, and the husband and wife had the same thoughts about their two younger brothers.

They have to change, and they have to take care of it.

Lin Xiugu also realized something at this moment, her eyes widened, and she just looked at her second son.

She's a big swagger, and she can't notice many things if the children don't talk about them, but she's not stupid.

On the contrary, this seemingly careless woman has a wisdom of her own.

Seeing that her second son was full of resentment and grievances, she suddenly stretched out her hand and stopped the eldest son who was about to speak.

Huo Tan paused and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Lin Xiugu slowly sat up straight.

The warm smile on her face was gone, replaced by her mother's rare majesty.

"Eleven Lang, you are already thirteen years old, you go to Lotus Flower Lane to take a look, how many thirteen-year-old boys have begun to run for a living."

"Because of your father's shadow, you don't need to go out to make a living, so you can comfortably study in martial arts."

When she said these words, Lin Xiugu's voice was very calm.

There is no earth-shattering loud voice, nor is it so casual and happy, there is just the right amount of seriousness.

"Eleven Lang, do you feel wronged by this?"

Huo Chengzhang's face suddenly turned red.

And Huo Chengpu also slowly raised his head and looked at his mother with those shy eyes.

Every word Lin Xiugu said was not compared with Huo Tan, she took the responsibility on herself.

"Eleven Lang, you're not young, you should be growing up."

"You said that you gave in for your brother and wronged him, but did you take good care of him? You asked him how many friends he had in martial arts, and what he learned every day? You asked him......"

Lin Xiugu's voice suddenly choked.

"Did you ask him where the injuries came from?"

It's normal to fall and beat in martial arts, Huo Chengzhang has a lot of scars on his body, and he never takes it to heart.

But he didn't think about it, because he was afraid, Huo Chengpu rarely took martial arts classes, and he took most literature classes.

Huo Chengzhang's eyes widened suddenly, he turned his head suddenly, and his gaze fell on Huo Chengpu.

Huo Chengpu clenched his hands tightly, lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

"Ah Pu, you were beaten in martial arts?" Huo Chengzhang's voice had the sharpness of a young man, "Who hit you?" Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me? ”

Huo Chengzhang shouted here, and suddenly his eyes turned red.

Lin Xiugu looked at the second son's painful expression, and suddenly said, "Kneel." ”

Huo Chengzhang stared at Huo Chengpu, and after a while, he just clasped his hands, turned around and knelt down in front of his mother.

Lin Xiugu said: "Your father went early, and I always indulged in his death and didn't teach you well. ”

"The biggest mistake in this matter is that I, as a mother, have no intentions, I didn't find out your grievances, I didn't find out the pain of Twelve, I was derelict in my duty."

As soon as these words came out, even Huo Tan had to get up: "A-Niang......"

Lin Xiugu shook her head at him and lowered her eyes to look at Huo Chengzhang.

In Cui Yunzhao's memory, Lin Xiugu is always smiling and happy, she never seems to be angry, in the short years of getting along, she seems to be heartless, and her life is always happy.

Cui Yunzhao really couldn't imagine that Lin Xiugu would be so sober in teaching her children.

She did not stir up conflicts between the children in her family, she directly talked about things, and took the responsibility on herself in and out of her words.

That's why he taught a son like Huo Tan.

Even Huo Chengzhang, who has some minor problems now, has become a young general and a pillar of the country in the future.

Thinking of this, Cui Yunzhao couldn't help but look at Lin Xiugu seriously.

But Lin Xiugu's face was ugly at the moment.

She asked Huo Chengzhang: "You just said that you want to go to the Li family's martial arts?" ”

Huo Chengzhang had already been told by Lin Xiugu to cry, his eyes were red at this time, and he knelt there and bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Cui Yunzhao didn't know if he was truly remorseful, but at this moment, he must be very sad.

Lin Xiugu lowered her eyes and looked at him, and her voice was two points heavier: "Answer me." ”

Huo Chengzhang raised his head, and there were mottled tears on his little face.

He looked at Aunt Lin Xiu, and suddenly had the courage to speak: "I want to go, mother, brother, I want to go!" ”

He stuck to his thoughts.

Cui Yunzhao saw that Lin Xiugu's complexion softened a lot.

"Eleven Lang, you have grown up, and in two years, you will also be the pillar of the family."

"Your father died early, and A-Niang will have to rely on you in the future, A-Niang is old and doesn't have so much energy to worry about you anymore."

Speaking of his dead father, Huo Chengzhang cried even more fiercely.

Even Huo Xinliu and Huo Chengpu cried.

Lin Xiugu looked at Huo Chengzhang, then at Huo Tan, and saw that he nodded to himself, before she said to Huo Chengzhang: "Eleven Lang, since you want to go to the Li Martial Arts, then I will go to the Zhang Martial Arts Academy tomorrow to ask you for your resignation, and the day after tomorrow, you will go with me to the Li Martial Arts." ”

As soon as she said this, Huo Chengzhang was a little happy at first, but soon, his face sank.

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked.

"A-Niang, what about A-Pu?"

After all, he still feels sorry for his younger brother.

Lin Xiugu pursed her lips, and her voice relaxed a little: "I'll talk about Apu's matter later, and your punishment hasn't been said yet." ”

Huo Chengzhang paused, then bent down and kowtowed to Aunt Lin Xiu.

"The son is all at the disposal of the mother."

Lin Xiugu asked: "You said it yourself, what did you do wrong?" ”

Huo Chengzhang bent over and knelt there, and no one could see his face clearly.

After a while, Huo Chengzhang choked up and said, "I went to school with Ah Pu, but I didn't know that he was bullied, too arrogant and careless. ”

"I'm all about my own grievances, but I don't want Ah Pu to probably want to go to school in Zhang's martial arts, it's too selfish."

"I shouldn't complain about my brother, my brother works hard for the family, and he has to worry about family affairs, it's me who don't get along with my brother."

Every word is said very sincerely.

When Cui Yunzhao heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that Huo Chengzhang was still very smart and sensible, and it seemed that he could slowly teach back.

Lin Xiuniang's face softened a lot when she saw it.

"Okay, you said it well, change it when you know it, I'm proud of you."

"But the rules in the family are clear, this is the family rule left by your father, Eleven Lang, according to the family rules, you will go and kneel for your father for six hours tonight, if you can still insist on following me to the Zhang Martial Arts School tomorrow, then you can go to the Li Martial Arts School."

Huo Chengzhang raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red and he looked at his mother, and then at his eldest brother.

Seeing that Huo Tan nodded to him, Huo Chengzhang wiped his face and saluted his mother and brother seriously.

"Auntie, brother, I will work hard, and I will not fall into the reputation of the Huo family."

After his business was done, Lin Xiugu breathed a sigh of relief almost undetectably.

She pinched her palm, opened it lightly, and looked at Huo Chengpu with complicated eyes.

The boy sat in his chair with his head down, but he could see the tears dripping from his chin.

"Twelve Lang," Lin Xiugu's voice was obviously very soft, but it stopped in Huo Chengpu's ears but it was like a thunder drum, "Are you very aggrieved?" ”
