Chapter 6
Soon the carriage arrived at the door of Ning's house. Father Ning got out of the carriage and saw his parents and elder brother standing at the door, his heart ached.

He hurriedly walked to the front of his parents, lifted his robe, knelt down, choked up and said:
"Father, mother, the unfilial son is back."

Grandpa Ning and Grandma Ning hurriedly pulled Father Ning up, looked at their little son whom they had not seen for many years, tears blurred their eyes, and said repeatedly:
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

At this time, Mother Ning also brought her two children over to see the ceremony.

"Father, mother."

"Grandpa, grandma, hello."

Grandpa Ning and Grandma Ning looked at the little granddaughter and grandson whom they had never seen before. The little granddaughter looked like a flower, so pretty, but she was too thin. Alas, the family had no means to make up for it.

On the contrary, the little grandson, raised in vain and fat, looks really gratifying.

Hastily said: "Hey, hey, good, good, this is Xiao Chu, Xiao Chen, right? Are you tired on the road? Are you hungry? Grandma will get you something to eat."

Grandpa Ning was helpless, "Let the children come in first, what are you doing blocking this door?"

Grandma Ning slapped her head, "Look at me, I'm so busy and excited, go home, go home!"

After saying that, he went to drag Ning's mother into the door.

At this time, the coachman stepped forward to say goodbye to Father Ning:
"Master Ning, the small task is completed, so I will take my leave."

Arched hands are about to leave.

Father Ning hurriedly stopped him, "Little brother, I'm really sorry. I was too excited to see my parents just now, and the hospitality was not good enough. Don't leave. Let's eat some homely food here and rest for a night before starting the journey?"

The other party quickly refused, "It's okay, the little ones understand, Master Ning's kindness is appreciated, but it really doesn't matter, we have to hurry back, so I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, he drove away without giving Father Ning another chance to persuade him to stay.

Father Ning had no choice but to give up, took Ning Chu and they followed Grandpa Ning into the door.

Li said angrily:
"Hey, father and mother are biased, why can't they see us, and don't even say hello to us."

"Daughter-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about, we two are so big here, how could father and mother not see it?
If you want to go in, go in by yourself?I have to go back and forth several times a day, do I still need to say hello? "

Boss Ning looked at his daughter-in-law in puzzlement.

Lee:  …

Not wanting to speak, he walked in angrily.

Boss Ning: What's wrong with my daughter-in-law today?Why do you keep ignoring me?

Aggrieved and followed behind his daughter-in-law.

Here, Grandpa Ning and Father Ning's family had already sat down, and Grandma Ning hurried to get food.

After Ning Chu's family each had a bowl of noodle soup, Grandpa Ning asked Father Ning:

"Tell me, how did you come back this time? What happened?"

When Grandma Ning heard this, she immediately looked at Father Ning questioningly.

Father Ning was a little ashamed, stood up, knelt down in front of his parents again, and said guiltily:

"Father, mother, my son has let you down and failed your kindness of nurturing."

Grandpa Ning and Grandma Ning were startled, thinking that something serious had happened, and they didn't care that Father Ning got up, and asked repeatedly:
"What's the matter? Why don't you tell me quickly? Are you going to kill your parents?"

Father Ning had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the story of his being dismissed from office. After speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at his parents' faces.

Because he knew how difficult it was for his parents and elder brother to confess him, how much he suffered, and how much he suffered. As a result, he became an official after high school, and he did not bring any good life to his parents.

It's just a good reputation, but now he is dismissed from office, and his parents' hard work was wasted. He is too ashamed and sorry for them!

"Oh, I was dismissed as an official, that's okay, it scared us to death."

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Ning and Grandma Ning's reactions were unexpectedly flat.

Father Ning raised his head in surprise, and asked in confusion, "Father, mother? My son has been dismissed from office!"

He thought his parents didn't hear clearly, so he said it again.

"I know, I know, we are not deaf yet, so we don't need to shout so loudly."

Grandpa Ning and Grandma Ning were speechless.

Father Ning was even more surprised.

Even Ning Chu looked at his grandparents in surprise, isn't this reaction wrong?
Grandma Ning spoke as a representative.

"You're my mother's son. I still don't know your nature? At the beginning, I did my best to help you study because I saw that you study well and you like it, so we gritted our teeth and confessed."

"Later when you became an official in high school, your parents were actually worried every day. They were afraid that one day you would offend the emperor and be beheaded, which scared us. You often had nightmares at night, and now you are just dismissed from office, which is more than we imagined. It’s so much better, what’s not to like.”

Father Ning: ...Do you want to pierce my heart like this?Oh my dear mother!
But hearing what Mother said personally made Father Ning feel completely relieved.

He had been falling down before, but he didn't know how to speak to his parents.

He feels guilty towards his wife and children because he has hurt them, and the ones who are most sorry are his parents. He has failed their expectations.

Alas, in fact, he should know that the biggest expectation of parents for their children is not to be successful, but to hope that they will be safe and sound.

Speaking of which, Grandma Ning took Mother Ning's hand to comfort her:

"It's just hard for Fang Niang, and I will follow you to endure hardships in this countryside."

Ning's mother had already relaxed a lot at this time. From the short time they got along after entering the door, it could be seen that her father-in-law and mother-in-law are sensible people, and she was willing to get close to each other.

"Mother, as long as our family is together, life is the same wherever we live, and my daughter-in-law will not feel bitter."

Grandpa Ning and Grandma Ning saw how sensible and virtuous the youngest daughter-in-law was, and she was very comforted. Although the second child was unreliable as an official, the daughter-in-law she found was very reliable.

If you meet those who can't share the joys and sorrows and remarry directly with your son and Li, it will be a big blow to the second child, just for this, and you must treat the younger daughter-in-law better in the future.

On their side, the mother is kind and the son is filial, and they are in harmony, but Mrs. Li can't bear it.

"What did you say? The second brother was dismissed from office? Then how will we live in the future? God, are you still letting people live?"

Mrs. Li couldn't help it, she sat on the ground and patted her thigh and cried.

Boss Ning hurried over to pull her, and comforted her:

"Daughter-in-law, what's the matter with this? Let's live like that. When the second brother was not dismissed from office, the money he saved every year was not enough for our family to eat two meals of white flour steamed buns."

Li's crying stopped abruptly, it seems to be the reason.

When the second younger brother was an official, his annual salary was pitifully small, and the family had to send food to them. Now that he has been dismissed from office, he doesn't seem to be bad.

Father Ning: ... I was stabbed by my brother and sister-in-law again.

Ning Chu: I can't hold back anymore.

"Pfft"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Ning Chu suspiciously.

Ning Chu was innocent, "I couldn't hold back."

Grandpa Ning and Grandma Ning: What evil did they do to raise these two wretched sons.
