Mrs. Chen was so excited that she couldn't sleep when she thought that Huo Yunze was about to become a disciple. She pushed Huo Tianxiang and said, "Master, have we prepared a little less for the apprenticeship ceremony? How about adding five more eggs tomorrow?"

When Huo Tianxiang heard this, he was silent for a moment and then said: "In the past, Chao'er gave this number to his masters as disciples in the school. That Zheng Shulang is Chao'er's classmate, so you don't have to worry."

Mrs. Chen counted the apprenticeship ceremonies she had prepared on her fingers, when she suddenly heard Huo: "Mother Ze'er, you have worked hard these years."

He had never said a soft word to Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen relied on him to live. There was an agreement before the marriage. Mrs. Chen only entered the house after agreeing to his request.

Mrs. Chen's heart sank when she heard this, and she opened her mouth to say that it was not hard for her, but she soon thought that Huo Tianxiang was extremely partial to Huo Yunchao and had never thought of sending Huo Yunze to school, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Huo Tianxiang has long been aware of Chen's dissatisfaction with him. He can understand that Chen's love for her son is so intense, she is concerned about her own son's future, and she is dissatisfied with him.

Just as he was partial to Huo Yunchao, Mr. Chen was definitely more partial to his two sons. It is human nature for people to be close and distant.

After Huo Yunchao married into the Xu family, Huo Tianxiang had to reconsider the allocation of resources in the family. "Chao'er married into the Xu family. From now on, Ze'er will be the head of our family. In the past, I could only afford Chao'er's education, but I really couldn't afford it anymore." Ze'er is studying, and you can't even split me in half. Chao'er is married into the Xu family, and he is a member of the Xu family. He has found several ways to make money for us, and he has fulfilled his filial piety. From now on, Chao'er will talk about it again His share of the money-making business must be assigned to the Xu family. Mother Ze'er, do you understand?"

Chen heard it

Huo Tianxiang's implication was that Huo Yunchao was an outsider when he married into the Xu family.

Brothers settle accounts clearly.

In the future, Huo Yunchao's share of the income from the business he proposed will not be taken by them based on their status.

"Master, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid that I will take advantage of Chao'er?" Mrs. Chen became more and more indignant as she listened, "Master, I am not Chao'er's biological mother, but ask yourself, my stepmother should be How is it? Have I ever treated Chao'er badly?"

Huo Tianxiang didn't expect Chen to think so, so he took her hand and said, "Please keep your voice down! Our walls are thin. If Chao'er, Zeer, and Haier hear this, I don't know what they will think!"

"Head of the family, I favored my own child. Those are the two pieces of flesh that fell off my body! Is it wrong for me to favor my own child? Did I treat Chao'er badly? I didn't! You are so guarded against me, do you think I am What? Outsider? Am I not your wife? "

Mrs. Chen felt terribly wronged. She could only say a few bitter words to Huo Yunchao. She had never treated him badly, but Huo Tianxiang guarded her as much as he guarded thieves. It really chilled her!

Huo Tianxiang hurriedly explained: "Look what you said? You are mistaken! What I just said was all from the bottom of my heart. How could I be guarding you! Why should I be guarding you? You are not Lu who has water in your head. Shi, why should I guard against you? I just want to say that if Chao'er marries the Xu family, he will become the Xu family, and the money he earns is the Xu family's money. Don't cry or be upset because I didn't explain it clearly."

Chen was so concerned about her eldest son's future that she was a little too sensitive.

In the past, for someone like Chen who could swallow her anger, she would definitely not vent her anger on Huo Tianxiang, let alone

Will vent her grievances and dissatisfaction.

Listening to Huo Tianxiang's warm comforting voice, after Chen calmed down, she realized this belatedly. Feeling the strong hands beside her, she suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing to lose control occasionally.

Mrs. Chen got into Huo Tianxiang's arms and continued her gentle policy: "Master, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you. I apologize to you. I always feel so ashamed of Ze'er. He is so smart and studious, even if he can't pass the exam After his fame comes back, he can learn more from Chao'er and Zheng Shulang in the future, and that will be enough."

Huo Tianxiang liked this trick very much, and hugged Chen even tighter: "Chao'er told me that Ze'er will study hard with Zheng Shulang, and there is an 80% chance that he will be able to come back as a scholar in the future! By then, our old Huo family will have a scholar In my hometown, everyone in the Huo family can benefit from it."

He has some machismo in him, but he is also a good man who values ​​love and promises. He will always try his best to fulfill the promise he made to Chen.

When Mrs. Chen heard Huo Yunchao's high opinion of Huo Yunze, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, and she also said with a slight smile: "Zheng Shulang is so capable, maybe Chao'er will be admitted as a scholar in two years' time." Woolen cloth!"

Huo Tianxiang followed Chen's words and said happily: "It would be great if Chao'er really gets admitted as a scholar. I heard that the scholar's title can exempt him from taxes and corvee. Chao'er is weak, and the Xu family has Xu Butcher and Xu Ning. , it would be a great blessing to be exempted from the corvee!”

Mrs. Chen sincerely hopes that Huo Yunchao will be admitted as a scholar. She has inquired with others and found out that being a scholar can exempt her from the tax of thirty acres!

The Xu family's total farmland is less than twenty acres, and the remaining ten acres are in quota.

Good for their family!

She was exempted from taxes and could keep whatever she harvested from the fields at home. Her two sons no longer had to go hungry and had enough to eat.

Huo Tianxiang's heart surged as he listened to Chen's description: "My dear mother, we must make more money! Let Ze'er study!"

Mrs. Chen nodded repeatedly and fell into a sweet dream with good hope.

Huo Yunchao, who was separated by a wall, accidentally listened to the corner of the room. It wasn't that he had dirty thoughts and strange hobbies, but that the Huo family's blue brick house was not soundproof!

In the dead of night, Huo Yunchao has sharp ears, and he will catch the slightest movement. Especially under certain special circumstances, he had to put things in his ears.

Huo Yunchao heard the conversation between Huo Tianxiang and Chen. He had no special ideas and just did whatever he wanted.

He didn't ask much. He only asked Chen, mother and son to work together with him to make money. He didn't care whether they were selfish or not.

Who has no selfish motives?

He also has selfish motives.

After a dreamless night, Huo Yunchao got up early. Today he and Xu Ning were going to the mountains to see if there was any way to get some quicklime back.

Huo Tianxiang went to buy a piece of pork early in the morning and saw Huo Yun carrying a bamboo basket: "Chao'er, where are you going this early in the morning?"

Huo Yunchao specially waited for his father to come back and explained: "Dad, I made an appointment with Ning Niang to go to the mountain for a visit. Please tell Brother Zheng that I have something important to do today and I can't come to visit. Please don't take it off."

Huo Tianxiang turned on his old father's nagging mode and wanted to go into the mountains with Huo Yunchao: "Okay. Chao'er, did you bring the realgar? Be careful when you go into the mountains. Bring enough dry food and water, and don't light a fire when you go into the mountains..."

Huo Yunchao listened patiently

Huo Tianxiang told him that he liked the feeling of being cared about and talked about by his elders. This was a beautiful feeling that he had never experienced in his previous life.

The son wants to be filial but his relatives are not there. Huo Yunchao will honor Huo Tianxiang and let him spend his old age peacefully.
