Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 259 Mother's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
Mrs. Wei's heart aches for this grandson, knowing that the most indispensable thing in Muai's place is food, but she still asks the big maid beside her to display all the good snacks at home, watching the two children take As soon as I ate a piece, I immediately laughed more and more happily.

Dayu handed over two boxes of dim sum, and was praised by the three wives, old and young, and answered a few homely words.

Mrs. Wei laughed, "Did you enter the city by yourself, or did you follow Mrs. Xian?"

Dayu quickly replied, "If I go back to my aunt, my mother will still stay in the village. This time, only Brother Tao and I will come to the city to handle business."

Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows, and said slightly worried, "Oh, you two came by yourself? Are you accompanied by guards?"

Tao'er knew that although her aunt had a very good heart, she was a bit straightforward compared to her second mother, so she quickly wrote down the words, "Auntie, Brother Yu and I came back to check the accounts. After all, the two of us managed the shop alone. We don’t worry about others, and besides, my aunt said, let the two of us take care of it and learn about the past, so that we won’t become nerds who study hard every day.”

Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "That's a good statement. It's something that a fairy girl can say. However, you still have to put your studies first. It's good to do these things for entertainment once in a while. Don't delay your studies because of it."

If it was in the past, Dayu and Tao'er would not have thought that what the old lady said was wrong, but since they set up the shop and did all the trivial things by themselves, after more than a month of busy work, they have long since thrown away the original point in their hearts. Belittled, and instilled by Muai into the important role of business in the social structure, the vision has been raised a lot. At this time, it is difficult to agree with the old lady's words, but they are all filial children, and they know The old man was doing it for their own good, so he stood up together and respectfully replied, "Thank you grandma (old lady) for teaching me."

The old lady smiled and quickly asked them to do it again. Tao'er opened the package on the small table beside her, took out three exquisite ebony boxes, held them to the grandmother and the two mothers respectively, and said, "Grandma , the shop run by my grandson and younger brother Yu has already made a profit this month. According to my aunt's distribution method, my grandson got a bonus of more than 300 taels, so my grandson picked these few gadgets and left them for my grandmother and mothers Enjoy one or two in your spare time."

"Oh? Tao'er picked this by herself?" Mrs. Wei opened the wooden box in her hand in surprise, and took out a gold hairpin carved with a boy celebrating his birthday. , "When my grandson grows up, he can earn money to buy hairpins for his grandmother."

Mrs. Wei Er smiled and said, "Mother, Tao'er is only 12 years old, and there will be more days to be filial to you when you grow old."

Tao'er replied, "Yes, on grandma's [-]th birthday, Tao'er will definitely find the best birthday gift in the world for you."

Mrs. Wei was so coaxed by her little grandson that her eyes widened and she said, "This child, after living so long, grandma will become an old goblin." In fact, my heart is really warm and comfortable, and my little grandson's body is also strong He also speaks much smarter, and it is impossible to tell that the child was sick and lying in bed all day a year ago, so his gratitude to Muai added another layer.

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei also opened their own small boxes. Both of them are a string of pearl bracelets. The pearls are not big, but they are well-proportioned and smooth.In fact, this kind of jewelry is only worth a few dozen taels, how can they usually see it in their eyes, any piece of jewelry in the makeup box is more than a few hundred taels, but today they love this bracelet very much, this is for their son The money earned for the first time in my life is bought to honor them. It is a filial piety. As a mother, what could be more precious than this.

The two of them took off the jade bracelets on their wrists and replaced them with bracelets. Mrs. Wei also put the gold hairpin on her head. Several big girls who were very capable started to compliment a few words, and the hall was full of joy for a while. .

Mrs. Wei saw that there was a flat wooden box on the table, so she asked, "The one on the table is for your father?"

Just as Tao'er was about to answer, a loud voice from outside the hall asked, "What do you want to give me?"

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei stood up quickly to give up the seat to the left of the old lady, and offered him some tea, and then sat down again.Dayu and Tao'er went to salute. Wei Guang secretly set off to the rice fields in the north last night. Seeing that the rice was growing very well, he could predict that there would be a bumper harvest in autumn. He hurried back when he heard the porter report that his son was back. up.

He is more and more satisfied with this son, not to mention that he is much stronger, and his studies have also been very diligent in the previous exams, which has earned him a lot of face in front of his colleagues. Before, he only hoped that he would not No matter how lingering on the sick bed, now, this child is not only healed in Shenzhen, but also so promising, he really feels that there is nothing left to ask for.In the autumn, the rice seeds will be presented and a share of credit will be given. In addition to the foundation laid by him in his early years, this child will not have to fight his life like him in the future, and he will be able to live a stable life and enjoy wealth and glory.

Tao'er picked up the wooden box next to her, held it in front of her father with both hands, and said slightly cautiously, "Father, my boy... My boy and Brother Yu's shop split the money, and my boy chose a small item for my father to play with."

When Wei Guang heard that his son had bought a gift to honor him, his eyes flashed with excitement, but he accepted it with a calm face. They are a wealthy family with very strict rules. Once the child is over seven years old, he will live in a separate school. On weekdays, most of the big maids are taking care of the daily life. As a mother, you can visit from time to time, but the father seldom contacts the child except when he is taking homework exams. It is to maintain a majestic image in front of the children, and to play the role of a spur and punisher in the growth of the children in the future, urging the children to make progress.

Therefore, even if his own child was in poor health, he stayed up all night anxiously, and never said soft words in front of the child.

However, today, when I opened the wooden box in my hand, I saw the jade paperweight carved into the shape of a goshawk with wings spread inside. Rarely, I raised my hand to touch my son's thickened shoulder, and said, "Good boy."

Tao'er was so startled that she opened her mouth slightly, she didn't know how to react, after living for more than 11 years, this was the first time she heard her father's praise, even though he had answered fluently in front of her father's colleagues a while ago, her father didn't give a word of praise , I just said, "I will work harder in the future." Then I sent him out.

Looking down at the paperweight in his father's hand, which was only worth 30 taels of silver, he suddenly regretted that he didn't give all the remaining silver to his father to buy a better one.

Mrs. Wei got up and pulled Tao'er over, and said with a smile, "This child, hearing his father's praise, actually froze with joy."

Mrs. Wei also laughed, "It's not that his father is usually cold, pity my little grandson, I'm afraid he thinks his father doesn't love him."

Wei Guang coughed in embarrassment, closed the box in his hand, looked at the corner of the room and asked, "Are you going back to the village in the afternoon?"

Dayu replied, "Uncle Wei, we have to rush back after lunch, and we still have some homework arrangements in the evening. From now on, we will go to the city every six days to inspect the shop."

Wei Guang nodded, and Mrs. Wei Er interrupted with a bit of distress, "Can't you stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning? This trip is nearly a hundred miles, and the mountain road is bumpy..."

Wei Guang raised his eyebrows. He couldn't see spoiling a child the most, let alone the only son who will inherit the family business in the future. Of course, he hoped that he would undergo more training when he was in good health. When he returned to Huadu in the future, the situation was so complicated. It's not good for the child to remain as weak as before.

"A man stands upright, why would he shrink back because of this hard work, can he hide behind you forever, without weathering the wind and rain?"

Mrs. Wei lowered her head aggrieved, her heart was still distressed, but she didn't dare to refute her husband's words.

Dayu quickly answered the question to smooth things over, "Second Aunt, don't worry, Brother Tao and I came here on horseback. The mountain road in the village has been repaired a few days ago, and it is very spacious and flat, so it takes only an hour to reach the village from here. No hard work at all."

Hearing this, Wei Guang was overjoyed, he was a military commander, and he was very skilled in riding. Hearing that his youngest son has also learned how to ride now, and this time he came back on horseback, he was very happy immediately.He asked, "How long have you been learning riding, who taught you?"

"Back to my father, my child has been learning riding for more than half a month, and it was taught by Master Ding Sanding." After Tao'er finished speaking, she raised her eyes to see the worry in the eyes of the two mothers, and said, "On weekdays, most of them ride at the foot of the mountain. It’s the first time I’ve traveled a long distance today, so my aunt was worried, so she sent Master Ding and Zhou Huwei to escort us all the way.”

Wei Guang nodded, Ding San knew it, he was the most clever soldier under his command, with a dexterous riding skill, many important battle reports were delivered by him rushing back and forth.Now it is very appropriate for him to be his son's master.

So, he said with a smile, "Well, yes, learn from Ding San, his riding skills are among the best." After speaking, he turned to Mrs. Wei and said, "Remember to raise Ding San's moon silver by one level."

Dayu got up quickly and said, "Uncle Wei, our mother has already overpaid Master Ding five taels of silver for Shuxiu every month."

Wei Guang gave up after hearing this, "That's fine."

At this time, a servant girl came to report that lunch was ready, and several people moved to the dining room to eat a sumptuous meal. The two children had been running around all morning, and they were already hungry, so they didn't eat less.The old man always thinks that if a child eats a lot, he will grow up well, so everyone in the Wei family, including Wei Guang, eats happily.

After the meal, the two children took a nap in Tao'er's small courtyard for half an hour, then said goodbye to several elders, took Ding Sanzhoutong back to the backyard of Qiweiju, gave Mu Si a few words, and rode on their respective Her beloved horse went all the way back to Lijiacun.
