Yoshida Mii

Chapter 305 Holons
When the sound of firecrackers sounded, the year was getting closer and closer. Mrs. Huang and old man Song had been looking forward to the stars and the moon for more than half a year at home, but they did not look forward to the return of their beloved young son Song Bai.

"I'm already thirty today, I guess I won't be coming back." Song old man said to Huang looking at the scattered snowflakes falling outside.

Huang sighed, and spontaneously found an excuse for Song Bai, "It's snowing, and the road outside is difficult." However, remembering that her youngest son hadn't come back for several years, and she didn't even have a letter, she couldn't help it. Complaining to old man Song, "Didn't you go to the town to inquire about San'er's letter before? You just cared about your old face and refused to die! If you went to inquire, wouldn't you know whether San'er will come back?"

The old man Song said helplessly: "It's already the twelfth lunar month, and the shop is so busy. I have already opened my mouth to him once. How can I open my mouth again at this time? Besides, Dongbao was able to inquire about the news at that time. It's almost Chinese New Year, and everyone she knows may have gone home, where can I find news?"

Huang's face was gloomy, and she cursed fiercely: "Just speak for that girl! She earns some money, knows such people, what's the point of asking about San'er's affairs? Even if everyone has gone home, Doesn't her family have a car? What's the point of going to Anzhou? Doesn't she go there often? San'er will not be exposed when San'er is promising?"

"I want to go to you!" Old man Song said bluntly. He was wearing a jacket and a straw hat and was about to go for a walk in the fields. He didn't have the face to ask people to put down such a busy business and go to inquire about it. Song Bai's news.

At this time in previous years, the old and the young have nothing to do for a few days, and they have to prepare things for the New Year. Although the family is poor, they have to cook everything that should be steamed and fried, especially steamed buns. , Huang and his eldest daughter-in-law had to work almost all night before they could prepare the family's food.What now?Dong Bao's New Year's gifts include steamed buns and meat every year, and there is no need for Mrs. Huang to do anything. It is just a gift to visit relatives, and Dong Bao is ready to include it in the New Year's gifts.Everyone in the village saw what Dong Bao did, and now that Mrs. Huang is talking bad things about Dong Bao and Li, they don't say anything on the surface, and who doesn't scold her for being a greedy old thing behind her back? !Whose granddaughter is so filial and generous, she wakes up laughing from her dreams.

After the new year, when Lin Shi wanted to take Quanzi to study in the town, Quanzi quit, saying that he didn't want to study anymore and wanted to do business with Lin Fu.

This made Lin Fu and Aunt Qiuxia very angry.

"I wanted to go crazy when I wanted to study, and my family had no money to study! You are so good, you will provide you with delicious food and drink, and you are not willing to send you to study!" Lin Fu cursed all the swear words.

Quanzi stood stubbornly, "I'm not a material for studying. You see, Shuanzi doesn't read anymore! Anyway, I can't pass the exam, and I can read almost the same characters. Isn't it a waste of money to let me study again?" !"

"I'm not afraid of wasting money, as long as you study hard!" Lin Fu roared.

Quanzi curled his lips and muttered, "You don't care about money, I still care about money!" He knew how hard his parents worked. Others saw that their family made a lot of money, but the same money was earned through hard work. How tiring it is to make tofu. You can't earn a penny for a catty of tofu, and you can't even buy a better piece of rice paper.

"You said you couldn't pass the exam after studying for a few days?" Lin Shi was also a little angry, "You are not stupid, but you didn't spend your time on studying!" Honestly speaking, Lin Shi felt that his younger brother was much smarter than him. , he can be admitted to the scholar, relying on studying hard, and if Quanzi is willing to study hard, his achievements will definitely be higher than him.

There was a lot of quarrel at home, and in the end Quanzi followed Lin Shi to the town with his head down under Lin Fu and Qiu Xia's scolding, to continue his study.

"If you're free, you can persuade Quanzi well." After Aunt Qiuxia came to the shop and complained a lot, she said to Dongbao, "I don't expect him to be successful in the exam, but it's just useless. I’m not happy in my heart, at least until he grows up.”

In fact, Dong Bao can understand the thoughts of Lin Fu and his wife. Lin Fu is about the same age as her father Song Yang. When Song Yang went to school, Lin Fu could only help the adults at home with work. He must want to be like Song Yang. Go to the town to study decently and be respected by others. Unfortunately, the Lin family had no money at that time, and they couldn’t sacrifice Aunt Lin to support Lin Fu. But he is still far from educated. Now that he has the conditions to support his sons to study, he certainly hopes that both sons can continue to study.

"Why don't you want to study anymore?" When Quanzi came to eat at noon, Dongbao pulled him and asked.Studying is easier than working in the field, and Lin Shi has worked hard to get a good reputation in front of him, and the Lin family doesn't expect the whole son to be a scholar, so there is no pressure to study.

Quanzi picked up the rice in the bowl and said vaguely: "I told you before that I am different from my brother. I am not a material for studying. It is a waste of money to read. Besides, I can read every word." almost."

"Tell the truth!" Dong Bao couldn't help pulling Quanzi's ears.

Quanzi snorted, and said unnaturally: "Anyway, I know that I can't pass the exam as a scholar, and I feel bored when I study. If I still can't pass the exam and stay at home to study, wouldn't I be the same as Uncle Song? Don't be like him!"

Dong Bao froze for a moment, and said, "What nonsense, you are different from my third uncle!" Song Bai was studying purely to avoid labor and to continue to be supported by the whole family. Reading was just his shield, an excuse.

"If I don't pass the exam every year, I'm not like Uncle Song!" Quanzi said stubbornly, putting down the chopsticks in his hand, "Shuanzi doesn't study anymore, he said he came to study just to learn characters, Don't expect to be a scholar, why does my brother stop taking the exam after the Juren exam next year, and want to earn money? He is just afraid of becoming... like Uncle Song."

Probably because he was afraid that Dongbao would feel uncomfortable when he heard it, Quanzi was very careful when he spoke in the end.

Song Yang has been greatly encouraged since he was admitted as a scholar, and has been insisting on taking the Juren exam. Year after year, he failed the exam, and was disappointed year after year. In the end, he was sad and frustrated, drinking crazy, and his family was under great financial pressure, until he got drunk and froze to death in the river What happened in the house hurt his wife and children.

Dong Bao really didn't expect this aspect. She thought that Lin Shi just wanted to start a family and support a family. She also felt that no matter what, a man must have a job to make a living in order to support Lin Shi's idea. Unexpectedly... Dong Bao stroked his forehead, it turned out that the examples of the negative textbooks of the two brothers Song Yang and Song Bai are so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

"You're still young, you don't want to study anymore, what do you want to do?" After a while, Dong Bao asked, "Working in the fields, you can't do much."

Quanzi said with a smile: "I won't tell you this first, so you can save yourself from saying that I am delusional." After that, no matter what Dongbao asked him, he didn't say anything, bowed his head, finished the meal, pushed the bowl, and ran away in a hurry up.

Ever since Dongbao talked with Quanzi, Quanzi was quite honest, and he read and ate according to the routine every day. Aunt Qiuxia thought that Dongbao persuaded him to come back.

At the beginning of March, the weather suddenly became hot. Lin Fu went to the town to deliver spring clothes to Lin Shi and Quanzi. He bought gifts with Aunt Qiuxia and went to Mr. Yan’s house, because Mr. Yan and Lin Fu had been together for a long time. I didn't see you anymore, so I stayed with Lin Fu for a drink at noon, and the two of them got excited as soon as they drank, and they drank until the afternoon.

Lin Fu and Aunt Qiuxia didn't arrive home until the afternoon sun was setting.

"Why did you come back? The child Muxiu is not at home!" Old man Lin was a little unhappy.

Lin Fu was a little dizzy from drinking, and he was a little confused, "Muxiu? Who is Muxiu? Didn't the two children have just had a Muxiu?"

Old man Lin was startled, he was so happy to see his grandson coming home, he forgot that the child had just had a bath.

"Father, who's back? Quanzi is still Dashi? Impossible, the child's father has gone to deliver clothes to them today, and they are all in town!" Aunt Qiuxia said.

"It's Quanzi." Old man Lin said hesitantly, "When he came back and saw that you were not at home, he said he went to play with Shuanzi after lunch, and when he came back, he gave me a note saying it was for you. "

Lin Fu was half sober from the wine, just woke up from a shock, hurriedly took the note and looked at it, he could not read much, but the person who wrote the note didn't say anything, the first two big words: "IOU".

"My God, what is written on it!" Aunt Qiuxia panicked and asked.If there's nothing wrong, is it worth it for Quanzi to skip class and come back to leave a note for them!
After reading the note, Lin Fu hurried into the house and found that the key of the workshop had been changed, apparently being tampered with.Then contacting the content on the note, Lin Fu slapped his thigh angrily, and cursed: "This bastard!"

Aunt Qiuxia and Old Man Lin followed Lin Fu to the workshop. There were a lot less yuba and dried tofu in the workshop, and Old Man Hong's family also came over, saying that Shuanzi was pushing the cart at home to go out with Quanzi. It's getting dark now and I haven't come back yet.

"Run away!" Lin Fu was anxious and angry, "The two children ran away with a cart of dried bean curd sticks and tofu! They also left an IOU, saying that they would sell it to a distant place, and return the money to us when they made money!"

Immediately, Shuan Ziniang screamed and passed out. After waking up, she burst into tears and cried and scolded Aunt Qiuxia, saying that Qiuxia had raised a good son and had kidnapped her son and wanted Qiuxia Returning her son, Hong Huozi dragged her back home.

"Where did this bastard go!" Aunt Qiuxia didn't care about being angry with Mrs. Shuanzi, and she wanted to cry in a hurry. The youngest son was also her heart, only 13 years old, where could he go?
Lin Fu made a decisive decision, "I'll go and call all the stewards. Everyone looks around. You go to the town to find Mr. Yan. They have horses and they run fast! I reckon, they must have gone to Anzhou!"

Although Quanzi has been to many places compared to someone who has never been out of Yuanshui in his life, he has only been to Anzhou and Luzhou. It is impossible for the two and a half older children in the cart, so there is only Anzhou.
