Chapter 39: Growing Up

When he went down the mountain today, Zhou Ang's mood was a little complicated.

Although he himself felt that he was a "reckless and dull posture", in the past few days since joining the Mountain Gate, he felt that he had made rapid progress, and he always felt that he was now a formal immortal cultivator.

But I didn't think about it, it turned out that I was really just "just getting started"!

No wonder Uncle Shi is not interested in talking to himself about anything else at all, and he is so noncommittal about his strong curiosity about spells and his attitude of wanting to learn.

The key is that his current aura foundation is still too weak.

What to do?

I had to keep trying.

When he returned home after going down the mountain, Zhou Ang handed over the two hundred and fifty yuan he had "earned" today to his mother Zhou Cai's - so he saw the relieved smile on his mother's face again.

That's a kind of ...... As a son of man, once you see it, you will subconsciously feel that what you are doing is particularly meaningful and accomplished.

But after counting the money, Zhou Caishi was not just blindly happy, she asked: "You have copied a lot of scriptures, how long do you expect to copy?"

Zhou Ang thought for a while and replied to her: "The Chen Mansion has not yet ended, and it is not easy to copy 10,000 scriptures. Although the Chen family is rich, and there are many people like his son who are willing to earn this money, but for a while, this matter will not end so quickly. I think it's going to be a while. ”

Zhou Caishi nodded when he heard this, but said, "Copy it for a few more days, and then stop!"

Zhou Ang was surprised when he heard this, and Xiao Zhou Zihe also looked at his mother a little puzzled.

Zhou Cai's has a point: "This money is easy to make." How can a mother not want her son to make a lot of money? I work hard with my son for a whole day, and the income is only a dozen yuan, and my son can get back 250 yuan in three days, which is enough for our mother and mother to earn for a month, how can a mother be unhappy?"

"But my mother remembers that your father said back then that reading is the easiest thing in the world, but it is the most difficult thing in the world. Simplicity is simplicity, everything you want is in the book, and only in the book. The difficulty is difficult, and reading is the most difficult to concentrate. The difficulty is that people who read often do not necessarily love to read. ”

"Therefore your father said that if you want to study, you must concentrate. Don't be tempted by anything, whether it's wealth or profit. Readers, what should be asked for should be struggling to seek, in addition to everything, all are small things, all for small profits, don't say to ask for it, then you shouldn't pay attention to it!"

"When you read the book well and ask for what you should ask for, it's a big deal. ”

"Your father said that he found that he was moved by some small fame and fortune, and realized that his heart could not be quiet, so he turned to ask for an errand. ”

"You are copying scriptures to make money now, although it is also hard, but it is too easy, my mother doesn't want you to delay your ambition because of this little money. ”

Zhou Ang pondered for a moment when he heard this, nodded, hesitated, and said with a smile: "Then this matter will be stopped for the time being in a few days, and it doesn't matter." ”

Zhou Cai's face was originally serious, but he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

Then she laughed: "You are better than your father at this point, he is the kind of person who can't listen to persuasion no matter what!"

Zhou Ang smiled and said: "Copying scriptures for people to make money, although there is a small profit, but it is not long-lasting, this is not something I particularly value, since my mother has orders, I naturally listen to my mother." ”

Zhou Caishi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, obviously hearing the meaning of Zhou Ang's words.

After a pause, she asked, "Ang'er has gradually had her own ideas recently, especially after the serious illness a few days ago, your whole person seems to have changed a lot. Could it be ...... What do you already have in mind?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ang said calmly: "Not yet." But mother, I am too good at planning, so I am afraid that he is not my good master. Moreover, in fact, I agree with my father's decision back then, my generation has a shallow foundation, and it is too difficult to make rapid progress in my studies and career. Self is one thing, and chance is more important. ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment before continuing: "So, I have to discuss it with my mother, and if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will come up and do something." One is to support the family, so that you and your son will not work so hard every day, this is my responsibility as a son and brother, and the other is that, as my father chose back then, the curve is circuitous, and it may not be a shortcut. Going straight to the goal may not necessarily lead to success. ”

Zhou Caishi looked at him for a long time when she heard this, and then suddenly, at a certain moment, she lowered her head.

After a while, she raised her hand to wipe her tears and said, "My son has grown up." ...... Grow up!"

After saying this, she suddenly burst into tears and smiled, and said, "You just spoke, and when you were your father, you were at least eighty percent like you!"

Zhou Ang smiled when he heard this.

At this time, Zhou Zihe looked at his mother, then at his brother, and suddenly asked, "Then brother, can we eat rice every day in the future?"

Zhou Ang laughed when he heard this, turned his head to look at her, and said, "Yes! From today onwards, I will eat rice every day from now on! Next, my brother will work hard so that Zihe can eat meat every day, okay?"

Zhou Zihe's eyes lit up excitedly when he heard this, and his hands suddenly clapped, "Great!

............

Night.

There was no movement next door, and the wind was pouring in the yard.

Zhou Ang and Yi leaned against the head of the bed.

The oil lamp on the bookcase suddenly lit on, then went out again, and then turned on and out again.

The pungent smell makes people's noses itchy and their eyes astringent.

Finally, the oil lamp went out and didn't light up again, but Zhou Ang leaned on the head of the bed and still didn't sleep.

It wasn't until he thought about what he had done today from the beginning that he got out of bed and took off his clothes, went back to lie down, took a deep breath, and gradually found the feeling of sleeping, and his breathing suddenly became rough.

............

When I woke up the next morning, strangely, the headache was much lighter than yesterday.

After the sudden pain, Zhou Ang was stunned for a while, and then remembered that he used his aura to "light the lamp" and "blow the lamp" yesterday.

Sure enough, it worked.

It's just that maybe it's because of the matter of lighting and blowing the lamp, it really doesn't involve the guidance, so although it is used frequently, the effect is not too good?

But it always works.

So Zhou Ang decided that in the future, in addition to normal practice and scripture copying, he would also practice "ignition technique".

But not today, because the sudden wind last night made Zhou Ang and his mother realize almost at the same time: the rainy season is coming! The family house must be repaired as soon as possible.

And Chai He must also prepare more.

Otherwise, it will really happen when it rains heavily outside and it rains in the house, and you want to drink hot water but have no firewood to burn the fire.

It is no coincidence that before breakfast is finished here, Zhou Ang is still discussing with his mother about going separately to buy firewood and ask a craftsman to paint the roof later, and Lu Chunsheng is already calling the door outside.

When the little girl Zhou Zihe opened the door, Lu Chunsheng came in and said that it happened to be about repairing the house.

He said: "Sister-in-law, I saw that the wind was blowing last night, and I was afraid that the rainy day was coming, so I decided to take a day off tomorrow and find a craftsman to come and repair it.

Zhou Caishi immediately nodded and said, "That's right! If you go and invite someone to come, but it saves us from inviting someone again, it just happens to be muddy." ”

After a pause, he said: "It's just that we have to talk about it well, and the wages must be settled by each family." ”

Lu Chunsheng showed his trademark honest smile when he heard this, nodded, and said, "Just follow my sister-in-law's words." ”
