I rewrote family history

Chapter 5 I'm Sorry, My Back Is Against the Sun
Wu Hao's mood changed slightly.

The long story has naturally become a deep moat, blocking the communication between the grandparents and grandchildren.No one is interested in an old man's past.The past of a small person is as insignificant as the sunlight shining into the house and the fine dust mixed with it, and it sprinkles down one after another, but what people remember is only the light.

However, a line of English poetry at this time, inadvertently, brought the distance between the two of them closer.

English seems to be... more modern.

He never thought that an old man who lived from the late Qing Dynasty to modern times had a common language with him.

"But Light a newer Wilderness."

"Yet the sun has made my desolation."

"My Wilderness has made..."

"Become the desolation of renewal..."

Wu Hao found the source of the English poem from Du Niang, and he recited the next few lines of English in a low voice, his words full of excitement for no reason.

It may also be an obsession that is stronger than the previous generation.

He is eager to prove himself in front of his elders.

……

Inside the stables.

Xu Erlian was reading English poems, and the only four lines of English poems were not difficult to learn.Under the young master's teaching, he mastered it very quickly, and he could memorize it fluently in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Brother Erleng, you should have a name."

"Master, I have a name, Erlianzi."

"Er Lengzi is a cheap name and a nickname. You are a scholar now. After studying, you should have a serious name." Xu Shuwen, who was born in a foreign school, pushed his round-rimmed glasses, and his clever eyes suddenly became more serious. , he paced back and forth, hands behind his back, thinking like a little adult.

His suede boots mingled with the footprints of the stablehand in the snow.

It's no different.

"The Master said: If the way is not enough, take a boat and float in the sea, whoever follows me, what is the reason?"

Xu Shuwen searched for words and excerpted the book, and thought of this sentence from "The Analects of Confucius". He said with a smile: "Confucius said that if the benevolence he promoted could not be implemented, the only person who drifted overseas on a wooden raft (bamboo raft) was Zhong Zhong. Let it go."

"Brother Erleng, do you know the word Cong?"

The young master bowed down, holding a wooden stick just like the long-time worker, and wrote the word "cong" on the sand table.

He held Chang Gong's hand and taught him stroke by stroke, "This is Congzi, you see this is Herringbone. You are a human being, and I am also a human being. You are no different from me."

All people are equal.

Xu Cong, who was nestled in Xu Er's arms, remembered what the young master said.In the past, he didn't read many books, so he didn't understand why the young master gave him this name.Later, in the new era, his impression of the young master became more and more blurred. It was only when he was dying that his impression of the young master gradually became clearer.

Xu Cong grabbed Xu Er's stupefied chest and urged him to agree.

He knew in his heart that the word "cong" was the "name" given to him by the young master. In this life, the only thing he wanted to change was his life, but he refused to change his name.

"But master..."

Xu Er's dumbfounded clenched his fist, clenched it and then let it go.

The master said that there is a difference between high and low among people from birth.

Xu, he and the young master are both named Xu.

When he was born, his mother delivered the baby by herself, and two elder brothers died before him.Niang bit the wooden stick, took the scissors, and cut the umbilical cord herself.The next day, my mother went to work in the field.After that, there is no more.The mother bled profusely after childbirth and died in the field.The following year, the crops on this land grew very well.

Master.When the young master's mother was giving birth to the young master, she hired the best midwife in Xinye County, and temporarily invited a Western doctor to wait outside the delivery room.

After the young master was born, he ate fine clothes and fine food.The Xu family paid another 20 taels of silver, and asked for a fate tablet in the Laojun Palace, and enshrined it under the statue of the Laojun Lord. The Taoist chanted scriptures and burned incense every day, praying that the only seedling of the Xu family would not die young.

He ate rice cereal, which he had saved from his father's ration.

One family has the same surname, but two families are different.

His chest was heaving violently, his face was blushing, and his neck was thick and red, but he still couldn't say the word "agree".

Last time, it started with the word Young Master.

Did not tell him the meaning of this word.

It wasn't until the fairy fox's paws scratched him that Xu Er's stunned breath was exhausted, and he vomited cleanly. With Baojiaxian around, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of confidence, which came from There is no reason.Maybe from Xu San'er, Xu San'er's grandfather....

"Xu Cong!"

Xu Shuwen patted the small square table and settled on his name.

Lowering his head slightly, Xu Er, who had been lowering his head deliberately, raised his head. He saw the sunlight shining on the eaves outside the stable, and seeing the young master's gentle smile, a smile appeared on his half-dark face.

From, this word is good.

A person juxtaposed with a person.

is a good word.

Then Xu Er bent down again without disappointment, his lips moved, his eyebrows were slightly lowered, and he put on a respectful gesture, "Thank you, young master, for the name, Xu Cong, I will be your follower from now on. Young master let me go No, I will go there, I am your follower, young master."

Xu Shuwen was stunned, he was waiting for Brother Erleng to look happy, and then he pretended not to care, waved his hands casually, and said, "It's just a small name, I haven't seen anything, it's fun in the school There are too many things to do, I will take Brother Erleng with you from now on."

But he didn't expect it.

What he thinks is the word "cong" that people are parallel and equal.

Brother Erleng was thinking of "followers".

He couldn't open his eyes under the glare of the sun, Xu Shuwen and Xu Cong stood in different positions.One is facing the sun and the other is facing away from the sun.

He rubbed his eyes, his round glasses were still clean, "Xu Cong, I don't want you to be my follower!"

His face barely evoked a smile.

Naming Xu Cong seems to be a ridiculous thing.He thought of Confucius and Zilu (style name Zhongyou), but Xu Cong thought of the stable and his servant.

Yes, although he called Brother Erleng, in fact, Xu Erleng has always been his follower.

From childhood... to adulthood.

It's just that it's clear now.

The fox fairy stretched out his claws, and a sharp barb pierced out of his flesh pad, pulling away Xu Er's sackcloth.

He lives in the new century, and he doesn't allow Xu Er to be so humble.But he couldn't speak, the young master was a rich man, and he couldn't see him as a ghost.Everything he did was in vain.

Unbelievable Xu Er fool!

Xu Cong sighed.

"Master, it's half an hour."

Xu Er, who remembered the time, comforted the fairy fox in his arms. He pointed to the sun, "Master, you should go back to the back house. By the way, yesterday the tiger caught a white rabbit. Do you want it?"

The big worm is the playmate of Xu Erlian and Xu Shuwen.

The son of Orion.

The big bug is a tiger.

This name was also chosen to obtain the blessing of the gods in the dark.

"A penny..."

Xu Shuwen subconsciously opened his mouth, but suddenly he saw Xu Er, who was waiting at the side, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "No, I'm not the age to play with rabbits anymore. I took half a month's filial piety leave. I have to go back to school, and I haven't finished reading Bi Li's "Chemistry Explanation."
