Chapter 71 IOU
If something goes wrong.He was not sure whether Xu San'er would still be so loyal, after all, once Xu Er's fool died, Xu San'er would be like a dead queen.

Then... Xu San'er can't ask for it.

Xu Shuwen seemed to understand.He was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.A father and son just looked at the lady's lamp silently. When the wick burned halfway and the ashes fell into the Mobil oil, he got up from the chair and said, "I'm going back to read. I'll give Erleng some better food these days." meal."

Eating a better meal is already doing his best.

"I know that, he took the blame for you, no matter what, you have to eat better."

When Xu Shuwen pushed open the door, his father's short words came from behind him.

The gray-white fox took advantage of this gap and escaped from the study room. It followed Xu Shuwen who was pacing in the corridor with small steps.After walking for a while, it found that Xu Shuwen stopped suddenly. It didn't stop, and accidentally bumped into Xu Shuwen's ankle.Xu Shuwen looked back in surprise, thinking that someone or a beast had bumped into him, but when he looked back, he found nothing, and immediately took a few steps back in fright.

"Is there a ghost?" Xu Shuwen swallowed first, and then shook his head quickly, "No, Mr. Gezhizhai said that there are no ghosts and gods in this world. If you don't talk about strange powers and gods, it should be because I have ghosts in my heart, so I mistakenly think that there are ghosts. There are ghosts, as long as there are no ghosts in my heart, there will be no ghosts. Ghosts are superstition."

"I'm not Xu Cong, what kind of hysteria."

he muttered to himself.

The students of the new school don't think that there are ghosts and gods in this world.

It's just that when he mentioned that there was a ghost in his heart, he was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the gate leading to the front yard.The gate of the courtyard was closed because it was night.The reason why he stopped here was also because he felt deeply guilty for Xu San'er and Xu Er.But the courtyard door was closed tightly, it was not always good for him to go out.

In addition, he cut his braids, and when he goes out, in case someone bumps into him...

……

Inpatient Department, Ward 315.

"I was imprisoned for nine days. The young master didn't come to see me. After the ninth day, the county finally stabilized. The county magistrate Chen issued an official document ordering the villagers to cut their braids in response to Nanling's Braid Cutting Order. Seeing that the official document from the county government was issued, Chief Bao Zheng let me go..."

Xu Cong felt relieved when he thought of the scene where Xu Er was let out.

If Xu Erlianzi was still a long-term stable worker, he should not have suffered such a big difficulty.It nearly killed him.But it also knows that if it wants to change everything, it will not work without some suffering.Xu Erlianzi's journey was not smooth, but it was far worse than before.

It is a good thing that there is no danger.

"Grandpa, you must have suffered a lot in prison."

Wu Hao thought of the hardships the old man had suffered, and felt a little depressed.

"Yeah, Dad, I must have suffered a lot."

Xu Rong also said.

Everyone thought that the old man had suffered a lot.I was locked in that small earthen hut for nine days and nine nights, and when I think about it, I feel shuddering.

"I didn't suffer much. After I came out, I gained two or three catties. I took the blame for the young master, so the cook in Xu's house brought me big fish and meat every day."

Like Ru Niang and Ru Wa Wagou, Xu Erlian was tortured mentally. Xu never wanted to tell future generations, and he chose to hide it in his heart.It knew that the reason why the master sent the good food was not only to appease Xu Erlian and Xu San'er, but also to regain the face he had lost in front of the villagers.

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandpa, what happened next?"

From her point of view, the favor the old man received may be completely offset by this matter.In addition, no matter whether it was because of guilt or other reasons, the old man wronged the old man. After thinking about it, he knew that it would be impossible for him to let grandfather Gao and the old man continue to work as long-term workers in Xu's house.

If you are not "loyal" once, you will not use it for a lifetime.

"Qing'er, you are right." Although Xu Qing didn't say it, Xu Cong also guessed Xu Qing's thoughts, and it stated, "After I was released from prison, the master led me and my father to the ancestral hall, I remember that uncles stood one after another in the ancestral hall, and the master took out the IOUs from his sleeve, which were the IOUs owed by his father.

"There is a handprint of my father's signature and stamp on it. It is about the thickness of a finger, and it is a thick pile. I didn't know that my father owed so much money. He is not greedy, and he is not good at gambling. I glanced at it. There are many, there are mothers." The money I owed for the supplementary food for the few births before I was alive, and the funeral expenses for my father’s burial of my ancestors and my mother, and the new ones are the money I owed when I went to school.”

"I'm glad I took the blame for the young master. I was only locked up for nine days, and I was served with delicious food and drink. The master threw all the IOUs into the brazier, and then, under the witness of my uncle, drew an acre of six cents The river irrigated the land and gave it to my father. Then, the master gave me five taels of silver for studying..."

Hearing the old man's narration, everyone fell silent.

"After moving out from Xu's house, father still wants to stay in Xujiabaozi, but I don't want to. My father and I have another disagreement, but this time father agrees with my argument, sells the land, and plans to marry me. We moved to the county together. Father knows, I have studied, and I have a higher level of knowledge than him."

Having said that, Xu Cong glanced at Xu Jianwen and hinted.

He did not forget the conflict between Xu Qing and Xu Jianwen.Although he is an old man now, it is on the other side, growing up with Xu Erlianzi. It clearly knows how powerless and painful it is when a young man who has entered school and learned new knowledge faces the obstacles of his parents.

Last time, after Xu Qing finished the college entrance examination, he didn't help her in choosing a major.But today, he wanted to help Xu Qing once.Xu Qing is not an underage child anymore, she is a few years older than the teacher's wife, and she is already married and pregnant in the old society.She should have her own opinion.

"Grandpa, I..."

Xu Jianwen was taken aback when he heard this.He gritted his teeth, and didn't know what to say at the moment, so he subconsciously took out the cigarette case from his shirt pocket, preparing to light a cigarette and calm down.But he suddenly realized that this is a hospital, so he put the cigarette back, "I will pay attention."

There was silence in the ward.

……

Xujiapuzi, ancestral hall.

A stack of IOUs was burning in the brazier, and the plain white paper was finally mixed with the ink under the flames.Little sparks flew out of the brazier, landed on the bluestone floor tiles of the ancestral hall, and disappeared again.

Xu San'er looked at the brazier in a daze.

Xu Er also looked at this scene in surprise.He didn't know what the master led him to the ancestral hall, but it wasn't until the pile of IOUs disappeared that he roughly guessed some of the master's thoughts.The master still wants to maintain the plaque of "House of Accumulated Goodness" bestowed by the county magistrate.

Title deeds, silver....

Two heavy things were delivered to Xu San'er.

"Everyone, be a witness! Nine days ago, it was Zhiyong who was wrong, and Xu Cong took the blame for the book, so today Zhiyong is for the third brother and the second idiot. No, Xu Cong will make up for his mistake!"

The rich old man picked up a white porcelain bowl, which was filled with liquor, and he took a big sip, "Third brother, let me admit your mistake, we are still fellow villagers."

He handed the wine bowl to Xu San'er, motioning for Xu San'er to take a sip too.

Xu Zhiyong?Master's name is Xu Zhiyong?The gray-white fox shook his head, thought hard for a while, and finally found the master's name in his distant memory.It seldom heard others call the master's name, but always called the master as the master.So the master called Xu Zhiyong, and he forgot all about it.It was not recalled until today.

 My hand hurts today, and I have tenosynovitis, which can be regarded as an occupational disease.

  Let's make it three tomorrow, and make up for today's one.Feel sorry.
