I rewrote family history

Chapter 90
"There's just one thing I can't figure out." Xu Er got out of bed in a daze, stepped out of the threshold, and walked to the eaves.He glanced at the rented house where Er Chaozi lived, the door was locked, and at the courtyard wall separating Zhao’s house, the rickshaw driver squatting in the corner had already fled, “I don’t understand, why did he return Give me money for medicine, one yuan and seventy cents, and afterward I became a thief, but the money I stole was less than the money for medicine."

A very absurd thing.

Even if Er Chaozi didn't pay back the money for the medicine and just ran away, it would be feasible.Originally, the father and son didn't think about getting back the medicine money.However, when Er Chaozi came and went out, when he fled, he had less money in his hand.

"Heh!" Xu San'er, who was sitting on the threshold, spat out thick phlegm toward the eaves, and he sneered, "I just want to leave clean and innocent. Owing money and stealing money are two different things. Owing money , even if he runs away and comes back one day, he still has to pay back the money, but if he stole the money, as long as he is not caught, who can say he is wrong."

"Leaving half of the money is because we don't want us to attack his daughter and give her a way out. He can escape, but his daughter can't. When you meet him in the future, don't have any benevolence. This man looks honest , but behind the scenes it’s all blind.”

He suffered and was as helpless as Er Chaozi.The difference is that he has the head of the clan, the master Xu Zhiyong, who can pay the IOUs, but Er Chaozi is different. He is a widower of a single family and has no clansman to help him.This kind of people are not afraid of those who wear shoes with bare feet, but they can't prevent them from feeling sick.

"If he'd had a son with a handle, maybe he wouldn't have run away."

Hearing Xu San'er's words, Xu Er stupefied these words inexplicably in his heart.With a son, Er Chaozi would have the roots to carry on the family line, so it was impossible for him to do such a risky thing.

"By the way, don't mention this to Auntie Da Ya's family." Xu San'er was a little cold from the outside moisture. He returned to the house and let Xu Er stunned come in together, closed the door, returned to the couch and covered it with a thin sheet Being, "Auntie Big Tooth can't keep her mouth shut. If she says something, Xiao Baozi will be punished at Zhao's house. I guess he hasn't gone far yet. He may be hiding in the city and secretly watching this matter." I feel sorry for his daughter, meeting such a father."

"Hiding in the city? Staring at us?"

Even though Xu Er was lying on the bed at the moment, his whole body felt cold and his back was glowing. He felt like a figure was staring at him in the dark, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he took his life with a bone-eviscerating knife.He was called "Master Xu", attended a new-style school, and was the first to cut his braids, so he was considered an enlightened gentry.

The county government squeezed Er Chaozi's hard-earned money, and he shared the profits.When Er Chaozi called him "Master Xu", he seemed to respect him, but he was actually weighing his importance and how much flesh and blood he could dismantle.He figured it out.Just like when he divided the reward, walked out of the county government office, and looked at the passers-by on the street, all with malicious intentions...

The dark night passed quickly.

After going through this experience, Xu Er didn't sleep well all night.However, thinking about the consequences of dozing off and being absent-minded in the classroom last time, he forced himself to cheer up in the morning class this time, and waited until the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Of course, he was not in good spirits, so he could only pretend to listen to the class hard. As for what the subject teacher said during the lecture, he didn't listen to a word.Fortunately, perhaps his performance was good. This time, the subject teacher didn't inform him about his desertion in class, so he finally got away with it.

But after the first half of the second class, he was really in a bad mood, so he could only ask his husband to take a half-day sick leave.As for the reason, he didn't intend to tell the truth, he just found a reason to prevaricate.

The husband is still as easy to deceive as ever, and he believed Xu Er's foolish words.

"You probably caught a cold in the rain yesterday, and you didn't pay attention to keeping warm, so you are unwell." In the apartment, Liu Changda looked at Xu Er's face for a while, and he looked a little weak and pale, "It may also be that you have been tired recently. , was suddenly blown by the cold wind, the body was not caught, and caught a little cold."

"You are not young anymore, you have to work and rest moderately."

Liu Changda sighed and warned.

Even though Xu Er was sent by the county office, he didn't delay his studies in high school.Running at both ends like this, he didn't know about the county government, but in the school, although Xu Er's grades declined slightly, they still remained good.Once he was successful in his studies, he no longer had the leisure to intervene.

But... with such exhaustion, maybe Xu Er's stupid man will fall ill like a mountain at any time.

Students from poor backgrounds hold on to a door and are reluctant to let it go easily.

He understands this.

All he can do is a few gentle reminders.

"Thank you for teaching."

"I... will pay attention."

Xu Er nodded his head and got up, and replied a few words perfunctorily.

"Xijun, cook a cup of ginger porridge for Xu Cong." Seeing that Xu Er was about to leave, Liu Changda waved his hand, motioning him to sit down, and then called out to the back room.

"I'm not a doctor." Liu Changda pushed his round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he smiled, "I'm sick, I still understand what kind of porridge to drink. After you finish eating the porridge, you can go. Also, uh... ..., in one month, Yu Qing will take the promotion exam, and you, as a senior, can be regarded as a good teacher, and you have a part to credit for his academic achievements."

Yu Qing?Upgrading exam?

Xu Er was surprised for a moment, but soon calmed down.The reason why the husband is willing to tutor Yu Qing is also because he is interested in Yu Qing's talent.Otherwise, for students with average talents, three-year simple subjects are obviously more suitable for them.Yu Qing was only one or two years younger than him, so it was reasonable to take the promotion exam for the elementary school.

Late June to early July is the time for upgrading exams over the years.

But whether Yu Qing can pass the exam is still unknown.He was able to successfully complete the promotion test last time, thanks to Hu Xian helping him cheat, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

"Sir, Brother Yu..."

"You don't know, after he looked for me a few times, he didn't look for me anymore."

Xu Er felt a burning pain on his face, so he quickly declined.Although Yu Qing didn't look for him next, but it stands to reason that as a senior, he should also take care of his juniors, so this time the master praised him for his merits, but he really didn't dare to claim the credit and falsely claim the credit.

"Helping him for a day is also helping."

Liu Changda said in a high tone, tough.

"Besides, you run around and are busy on weekdays. It would be nice to give him guidance. It's his fault that he didn't look for you. You don't have to worry about it."

He emphasized again.

The little-footed woman in the back room walked out the door with a rice washing basin in her hand.Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Er immediately moved to the next topic, "Old Master, no, where is Mr. Zhou? Is there any whereabouts for Mr. Zhou?"

Speaking of the kindness of the day's teaching, Xu Er couldn't help but think of the old master.The old master lent him the lecture notes for ten days, which was also kind to him.He is the one who treats him second only to his husband and wife in Hongwen Hall.Even though the old master left and was dismissed for so many days, he never forgot.

"Mr. Zhou?" Liu Changda frowned.His body, which had been erected just now because of his high-pitched voice, limp on the grand master's chair again.He moved his body, let out a long breath, and lit a cigarette, "His whereabouts are not clear to us gentlemen, including his son. He left Xinye with his old wife. The last time I Wanted to visit him, but couldn't find him."

"Why, you asked Mr. Zhou twice, did you have something to do with him?"

Liu Changda squinted his eyes, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.

The relationship between him and Xu Erlianzi is not just a simple teacher-student relationship in the school.Xu Er Lengzi is his real protégé, but there is no such step as kowtow to offer tea.Besides, the relationship between the old master and him is not so good.

"Mr. Zhou left? Left Xinye?"

Xu Er was stunned at first, but then he figured it out.

Not only Hongwen Hall can no longer accommodate the old master, but the entire Xinye, and even Nanyang Mansion, it is difficult to have a place for the old master.The old master used to be the head of the imperial examination in Nanyang Prefecture. In the same year, he was so humiliated by the students. It is obviously difficult for him to stay in Nanyang Prefecture.

Mr.'s stare looms.

Xu Er was nervous, and he explained the reason, "I picked up Mr. Zhou's lens and wanted to return it to Mr. Zhou, but I never found a chance."

With a sound of "Oh", Liu Changda's eyes calmed down, and he sat upright, "Mr. Zhou's temper is not flattering, but his character of being a good teacher is still commendable. The school has gone to teach. You don’t want to learn from him, just keep accepting the truth.”

Don't you admit death.He felt that it was the year of the Republic of China, and the braids would be cut as soon as they were cut.However, this old master admitted his death, and was caught by the students, and his reputation was ruined.

Mr. taught, Xu Er Lengzi nodded and said yes.

After a while, the woman with little feet will cook the ginger porridge.Xu Er waited until the porridge was almost cold, held the porcelain bowl, drank it all in one gulp, thanked him, and left the apartment.

"Master Hu, look, this is a new lock." One person and one fox stopped at the door of the old master's apartment, and Xu Er stunned glanced at the window sill, which was empty, "Er Chaozi and the old master have left Xinye, and there is nothing here. out of their place..."

One is a granary student in the former Qing Dynasty, and the other is a rickshaw puller who works as a coolie.Xu Er couldn't figure out what they had in common, and how they ended up in the same situation.

One is kind to him, and the other is against him.

The gray-white fox once again jumped onto the window sill where the potted gladiolus had been placed before. The scene inside the door was the same as it was a few months ago. It shook its head and jumped into Xu Er's arms again.

It yelled a few times.The signal is not to think too much, listen to what the teacher says.

My husband said, don't imitate the old master, admit death.From its current point of view, Xu Er's idiot is a little bit of a dead end, and walked into a dead end.No wonder, if it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have gotten the nickname of a fool.He is notoriously stubborn, just like his father.

Bought a few sesame seed cakes on the street, one person and one fox went straight back to the courtyard.

I slept for about an hour and a half.

Xu Er was stupefied when he heard someone yelling, it was from Zhao's courtyard.

"Xiao Baozi, walk slowly, your father is over there, you can't run away. It just rained yesterday and the ground is wet, so don't fall. After you fall, your clothes will be torn, but you have to get rid of them I paid for it in the monthly silver."

It was Qiu He's voice.

In Zhao's courtyard, Qiu He had the best relationship with Aunt Da Ya, and after taking Xiao Baozi there, he also got involved with Qiu He.Xiaobaozi recognizes Qiuhe as his sister.

"Father, father..."

It was Xiao Baozi who started calling.

At this point in time, Er Chaozi had probably gone home from work.

However, Er Chaozi had already run away last night.After all, Xiao Baozi's calling was useless.She yelled about a dozen times, and the childish voice became weaker and weaker.

"Your father may have come back late, listen to my sister and go back to the front house."

"Orchid is still waiting for you."

Qiu He persuaded.

Lan Huaer is another maid of the Zhao family.During this period of contact, one person and one fox learned about the internal affairs of the Zhao family. After Xiao Baozi was sold to the Zhao family, it was Lan Huaer who disciplined Xiao Baozi.

"Master Hu, what should I say, is his father gone?"

"I said it, doesn't it mean that I found out that he stole the money, what would Er Chaozi do if he attacked me? If you don't say anything, look at her as a little girl..."

Renting a room, on the bed, Xu Er stunned rubbed his sleepy eyes, feeling a little helpless.

Er Chaozi's stolen silver was only seen by Hu Immortal.If he said in a hurry that Er Chaozi had left, he would be blaming himself, which meant that he already knew about Er Chaozi's scandal.

If it develops according to common sense, it should be that they saw that the silver was stolen, and the thief only stole half of it, so they dared not report to the officials, fearing revenge. The suspicion falls on Er Chaozi...

"Forget it, forget it for the time being."

Xu Er shook his head in a daze.

He also had the same thought as Xu San'er at the moment, how did Xiao Baozi meet such a father.Please be innocent and let his daughter end up like this.

At the end of the night, Xiao Baozi's call came from the courtyard of the Zhao family. The cries of father were heartbreaking, but no one in the courtyard responded.

"Where's Er Chaozi? What about others? Today and yesterday...Little Baozi yelled so many times." The next day, Auntie Big Tooth's bloated body squeezed into the rented room of Xu's father and son, blocking a large area of ​​light.She looked at Xu Er who was studying, and asked, "Xu Cong, have you seen Er Chaozi in the past two days? It stands to reason that he has no other place to live..."

The Datong shop in the county inn costs money to sleep, and it is impossible for Er Chaozi to spend money to sleep.If you go out for a long time, you will basically say hello to your neighbors, so you won't just disappear.

"No."

Xu Er shook his head in a daze, "I haven't seen Uncle Chao for a few days, maybe there's something else going on. Didn't he tell Auntie Da Ya? A living person, it's impossible for him to disappear for nothing."

He opened his eyes and talked nonsense.

Aunt Big Tooth was prevaricated and left, and after a while, she hurried to the door of the rental house again, "Run away, he ran away, he ran away with money, I just punctured the window paper of his house, didn't see After buying Toyo Car, the valuable possessions are gone, so they must have been sold off."

It is not uncommon for Juan Yin to run away after selling his son and daughter.On the one hand, it is ashamed, on the other hand, it is shameless, and the money gained is a lot, but living in the old place will inevitably be looked down upon by others.Unless it is a famine year, if you sell your own children, you will definitely be scolded by poking your spine.

However, it is rare for such things to actually happen around us.

"What? He ran away?"

In the evening, when Xu San'er and Lai Fuer came back, their jaws dropped when they heard the news.It seemed that neither of them expected that Er Chaozi, who loved Xiao Baozi so much in the past few days, would take money and run away.

"Drug money, by the way, medicine money, Er Chaozi ran away, did you pay back the medicine money to your family?"

Lai Fuer asked urgently.

The money for the medicine is one yuan and seventy cents.Everyone in the courtyard knew that Er Chaozi had borrowed such a large sum of money from the Xu family and his son.

　Thank you for the reward from the leader who insisted on doing 126.

　　Xiaopujie didn't expect to receive a reward from the leader, just me, a scumbag....
