Chapter 14: Going Home

The conversation between Uncle Zhao and Han Shu was pressed in Han Shu's heart, and he didn't dare to let others know, but he didn't want to forget it, which contained Uncle Zhao's heroic past and the dreams of the young man buried deep in his heart. Uncle Zhao is also very happy about Han Shu's straightforward sycophant.

The four seasons alternate, it has reached the depths of winter, and the lanterns on the street have slowly been hung with the red lanterns of the New Year, welcoming the New Year early and receiving good luck early. Zizhou College is also temporarily closed, students are going home for the Spring Festival, during which Han Shu also invited Uncle Zhao to go back to his home for the New Year, although compared to the family is more shabby, but Han Shu himself has saved a lot of money, it is estimated that he can have a more prosperous New Year, Uncle Zhao just smiled and waved his hand, first, Uncle Zhao did not want to go, and second, he couldn't get out of Zizhou. Han Shu naturally couldn't guess the reason, he felt quite sad, and he didn't know where he was going to celebrate the New Year and who he was going to spend the New Year with. No matter how sad it should be when you are young, when you are old, there is no one to take care of you, and you don't even have a home.

Packed his bags, said goodbye to Xu Xuan and Huang Shi and left, Huang Shi wanted to take Han Shu for a while, compared to the cold and freezing on this day, Huang Shi had a carriage to go home, and if he wanted to take Han Shu, he could suffer less from the cold. was just rejected by Han Shu, but Huang Shi waved his hand and sent a carriage to Han Shu, which made Han Shu overjoyed, but he just left the horse, even if the car was over, Han Shu still wanted to gallop on the horse in his heart, and he was happy when he thought about it.

Han Shu led a big horse out of Zizhou slowly, and he couldn't wait to turn over and get on the horse, shouting: Drive. But the horse didn't move, which made Han Shu, who was still full of joy, a little helpless, but yes, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and I was a little rusty, so I lowered my head and touched the horse's face, and said affectionately: The horse is good, obedient, let's go home together, let's give you a name first, how about calling Erhuang, it's good, haha. Suddenly the horse half took off into the air, raised its front hooves, neighed, and galloped out. Han Shu clutched the reins tightly and laughed: Who said that scholars are weak, riding horses and whipping the world, my generation should be crazy with my generation.

Thinking about whether to go to Huangshi's house after passing through Fengzhou, I thought about it or forget it, and when Huangshi has its own big house, Han Shu will hold the congratulatory gift with both hands, go to the house, after entering Liangzhou, the heavy snow has not passed the horse's hooves, and there are New Year's goods on the horse's back, and I can't gallop up if I want to gallop, Han Shu is a little regretful in my heart, it is better to take the horse and the car together, now it's okay, the horse can't run, the weather is still cold, in the carriage, how much warmer. Halfway several times Erhuang also went on strike, Han Shu said that he was good at feeding good forage in the inn, this Erhuang did not stagnate, Han Shu now takes Erhuang as an ancestor to offer, in case this uncle is stumbling, the cold dream is over, fortunately, in the passing

After a few days of stop-and-go, I finally returned to the village. When he was close to the entrance of the village, looking at the vermilion lacquer gate of the village chief, Han Shu was thinking, if he could be an official and a half-job, should he change it for his home, think about it or forget it, it is not suitable, and he doesn't want to.

Back at the mouth of the alley, back to the familiar door, Han Shu is still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he is also a return to his hometown, after all, there are not many students in Liangzhou of Zizhou College, I just don't know if Daddy will come back this year, and the family of three can have a good Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Han Shu straightened his clothes, pushed open the gate, led the horse into the yard, and shouted: Ah mother, I'm back. No one answered, continued to walk inside, and was about to push open the door, only to hear a voice: Shu'er is back, oops, Dad just went outside to buy some firecrackers, you can have a good time on New Year's Eve. Han Shu smiled and said: Daddy, when you were a child, my mother. As soon as the words fell, Han Shu's mother carried some food and said with a smile: "Su'er is back." Han Shu responded, looking at the good man smiling in front of him, how long has it been, I haven't seen such a scene, my eyes are a little moist, and I am busy hiding my face from the horse's back and going down the mountain, and the family of three entered the threshold and entered the house.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the most sumptuous meal since Han Shu grew up so big, the family eats happily, and Han Shu talks about some things in the college, although the parents do not understand some places, but the smile on their faces has not faded, their son is happy, they are happy. After eating, Han Shu and Daddy came out to set off firecrackers, Han Shu always wanted to play more when he was a child, but his family was poor, and he always couldn't have fun, and he always felt that he was gone if he didn't play, just like his childhood, he felt that he hadn't had enough, and it was over.

Han Shu's father patted Han Shu's shoulder: Shu'er, you can go to Zizhou College, but you can give your father a big face, and the old guys who work together in Fengzhou are very envious of me, but Dad also knows, no matter what you do, it's not easy, you kid, you have never reported good news or bad news, and what you say is good to us, although Dad has no ability, but I also know that there is nothing to let my son bear, what is it called, no reason, Dad doesn't want you to be able to have much interest, when he sent you to study, he just wanted you to know a few more words。 In the future, it will be easier to make money, and my father will be satisfied, after the New Year, my father will not go to Fengzhou, so I will stay at home and plant some crops with your mother. Where there is a father and mother, you have a home.

Han Shu has been controlling himself, he doesn't want tears to flow out, his hands are in his cuffs, he thinks of something, and is about to speak, Daddy speaks: We will deal with the matter between our adults, you don't have to worry about it, I stay at home, your mother also agrees, Dad still has to nag a few words, don't blame your mother, your mother herself doesn't talk much, and you communicate less, it's not easy for a woman, I'm a person who has no ability to stand on the stall has suffered a lot, Dad doesn't hate your mother, you shouldn't either, remember to be kind to women when you can be kind to women outside in the future. Han Shu snorted and said: No, I don't blame my mother, I see how difficult it is for her, it would be best if our family of three could be harmonious. There are still a few firecrackers on the ground, the two people in the yard are talking side by side, and the door is half leaning on one person quietly watching, this year's snow is exceptionally heavy, and there should be a good harvest next year.
