Quick travel to save a miserable life

When Lin Hui went to the school to get his things back, Mr. Liu in the school felt sorry for Ziming, saying that he was extremely talented in studying. If he could persist in studying hard, he would not be able to win the exam, but he would pass the exam. Scholars should have no problem.

But Mr. Liu also heard about the Wang family and knew that the Wang family was in a difficult situation now, so he could understand Wang Ziming's dropping out of school.

Mr. Liu gave Ziming his basic scholarship book with annotations and told him that if his family's situation improves in the future, he can come back to study at any time. He will always welcome him.

Wang Ziming touched his textbooks and the books he had been given as a gift, and tears welled up in his eyes again, but he suddenly realized something and forcefully held back the tears instead of letting them flow down.

Because he knew that his mother didn't like to see him cry.

He didn't want to cry, but he just couldn't help it.

The tears he shed during this period of time were more than the tears he shed in the previous ten years combined.

However, he can't cry anymore in the future, because he will soon become the only man in the family as his mother said. He wants to be a man and support his family, and he can no longer shed tears frequently.

The Dong family's father and daughter received the news of Wang Xiuyuan's murder the day after Wang Xiuyuan was taken to the county government for questioning.

Previously, they were hoping that it was a misunderstanding and that someone else was responsible for the murder. Wang Xiuyuan was just implicated, so they specially sent people to pay attention to the development of the case.

However, as the people who went to inquire about the news came back, their hearts became colder and colder. When the county government announced the verdict and posted a notice two days later, they were finally completely disappointed.

Dong Yue'e was so angry that she smashed things in the room. She felt that the man named Wang was too unsatisfactory. Finally, a man she fell in love with turned out to be a murderer, causing her to find another man!

Mr. Dong and Dong Chengyu were lucky. Fortunately, the affairs of the two families were not made public. No one except themselves knew that they had wanted to recruit Wang Xiuyuan as the son-in-law of the Dong family.

Thanks to the fact that this matter happened early, if the two families had already discussed or got married, then where would the Dong family's face be put? After all, no one wanted to have a murderer son-in-law.

However, it is necessary to appease that girl Yue'e.

So Mr. Dong made a bunch of promises to his daughter and promised to find her a son-in-law who was a better scholar than Wang Xiuyuan. Only then did Dong Yue'e smile again.

After Wang Liu's funeral was completed, Lin Hui took off her heavy filial piety and began to ask the neighbors to find a job for Wang Ziming.

No matter what the neighbors thought in their hearts, they agreed with their mouths.

It's just because Wang Ziming is too young, and the news about his grandmother and father has spread throughout the county. Even if many people are looking for apprentices, they will not want a child with such an unclear family background. Therefore, it will be a while. Difficulty finding the right job.

Lin Hui was not in a hurry, so she asked Wang Ziming to learn to do household chores and shoulder his due responsibilities.

The first thing Lin Hui asked him to do was to do laundry, cooking, sweeping the floor and washing dishes. Wang Ziming was very dissatisfied with this, thinking that these were all jobs done by women, and that he, as a man, should not do these.

Lin Hui smiled and said: "A man should earn money to support his family, so you go out and work. As long as you can earn enough for the daily food expenses of our three mothers, my mother will not let you do this."

Wang Ziming was not convinced. He felt that he had studied for several years, was very good at arithmetic, and could write well. How could he not find a job? The neighbors must not have bothered to find it for him, so he went out on his own. , I can definitely find a job that can support my family.

Naturally, the result was a failure. He went out for three days in a row, but no shop was willing to hire him. Even if he wanted to copy books and showed his handwriting to the bookstore owner, he still ended up being rejected.

Those teahouses, restaurants, and inns would never consider hiring such a young waiter, and they would not even consider him qualified to be an apprentice.

He went out excitedly every day and came back dejected at night, for three consecutive days.

On the fourth day, without Lin Hui's instructions, he stopped going out and went into the kitchen on his own initiative. Starting from learning to make a fire, he learned these basic housework step by step.

Needless to say, the result was a complete mess. Thick white smoke billowed out from the small kitchen, which was so choking that no one could stay there.

Lin Hui held back her tears, pulled out some firewood from the stove, and then gathered the remaining firewood together. Finally, it could burn normally, instead of the previous smoke and no fire.

Then it was time to wash the dishes after the meal. Wang Ziming broke a bowl and a spoon. This was because the kitchen floor was made of earth and was not hard enough. Otherwise, more would have been broken.

But it doesn't matter. Sweeping the floor is now his job anyway. If it doesn't come out clean in one go, do it twice. If it doesn't come clean after two times, do it three times. It's going to be until it's clean.

When it came to washing clothes, Lin Hui asked him to wash his own clothes first. In the past two days, because he was learning to do housework, the clothes got dirty very quickly and were difficult to wash. And he was extra serious and careful. After washing the clothes with soap locust, he had to wash them again. Three times of water.

Fortunately, there is a well in the Wang family's yard, so there is no need to go out to fetch water. Otherwise, just fetching water would be very tiring.

After more than ten days, Wang Ziming was finally able to light a fire and boil water smoothly under Lin Hui's guidance. He also knew how to heat steamed buns and cook porridge. He could also wash the dishes and chopsticks after meals and not wash them again. Broken.

He also learned how to wash clothes and sweep the floor quickly, and learned to keep his room clean and tidy.

These were things he had never been exposed to before, but he had learned them all now. It was only after he understood how to do them that he realized how difficult and cumbersome they were.

It was when his mother taught him to do these things, and the time they spent together between mother and son increased, that he gradually deepened his understanding of his mother.

It turned out that his mother was not as ignorant, shallow and ignorant as he originally thought.

On the contrary, my mother has a calm personality, is rich and knowledgeable, and knows a lot.

She didn't talk much in the past, probably because her grandmother and father made the decisions in the family, and she had no room to comment. Now that her grandmother and father are gone, and she hasn't grown up yet, her mother has to shoulder the burden of life and become the leader of the family. of pillars.

Moreover, my mother could not only read but also write a lot. It is said that she learned it from the master who taught her embroidery when she was a child in her boudoir. Because some embroidery patterns have auspicious words on them, it is necessary to know some basics. word.

My mother's eyes were not completely healed and she was still taking medicine. However, she did not stop embroidering. She just reduced the time she spent doing work every day. She did not embroider for more than three hours a day, and she got up and moved every two-quarters of an hour. Instead of sitting for most of the day like before.

The more Wang Ziming got to know his mother, the more ashamed he became. Why did he despise his mother so much in the first place?

My mother works hard for the family every day, and it can be said that she deserves a lot of credit for her hard work. At least half of her father's merit is due to her!

But how do I treat my mother? I ignore her existence and even despise her. I feel that she is not worthy of my father who is a scholar.

He is not worthy of such a smart son!

Wang Ziming couldn't help but feel ashamed of his previous ignorance.
