Chapter 506 Cat's Fate

Chapter 506

The little boy hugged the cat and slowly walked away from the lush bamboo forest.

The scenery changed, and the city was windy and rainy day by day. The boy seemed to have grown up a bit, sitting by the window, shaking his head and reading a book.

There was a flash of light outside the window, and a white figure lightly jumped into the window, stood on the table and looked at the boy with his head tilted.The boy put down the book, and reached out to touch the white cat with a smile on his face: "Did mother ask you to come over and ask me to eat?"

"Meow!"

"Okay, let's go after I finish reciting this paragraph." The boy said, turned the book upside down on the table, sat down and recited in a low voice.

There seemed to be someone passing by outside the window, and the voices of the two of them could be faintly heard in the room.

"...What? White rice is so expensive? Tsk tsk, last month it only increased by [-] yuan a catty, why did it increase again this month, and it suddenly increased by [-] yuan?"

"Yes, well, it is said that since last year, the area around Zhucheng has not been able to grow much grain. The grain in the city is sold by grain merchants from afar, so it is naturally much more expensive."

"Hey, Zhucheng can't survive anymore. The wife of the master said that she wants to dismiss some servants. I don't know if it will be your turn. If she wants to dismiss us, it's a good thing to say."

"What's the matter, do you have a good job as a side job? Where can we find a good master like our master's wife! Last time I went to get pork, and I heard from the servants of the Hu family in Shengxiang that they started eating it half a year ago. Brown rice!"

"Eat brown rice? Isn't the Hu family quite rich?"

"Who would know? You can't afford it either..."

The voice was getting closer and closer, the boy stopped halfway through the recitation.The man was stunned for a while, the cat on the table yawned, stretched out its meaty paw and patted the boy's face.

The boy came back to his senses suddenly, smiled at the cat, and calmly continued to recite the books one by one from the beginning.

It seemed that it was raining suddenly, and the raindrops falling from the window edge were like a string of glazed beads, fluttering with the wind.Under the window sill, the white cat has not changed at all, sitting quietly on the window sill, looking at the two people talking in the window.

In the room, the boy has grown into a handsome young man, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, squatting beside the bed and softly coaxing the woman lying on the bed.

"Mom, take another bite."

The woman had a sickly face and looked a little haggard.

The room was much empty, the originally well-to-do family has long since lost its former glory, and the servants have been sealed off with red seals and sold their lives one by one over the years, and have been dismissed.

"Mother won't eat, I can't eat any more." The woman was as skinny as a stick, but she had a warm smile on her face: "Don't stay here with Mother, have you finished your article today?"

The young man bowed his head in silence, constantly stirring the pitifully thin porridge in the bowl with the spoon in his hand.

The woman's smile gradually disappeared, she stared at the young man, and suddenly frowned: "Son, what are you hiding from mother?"

The young man gently put the spoon in the bowl, looked up at the woman seriously: "Mother, I don't want to go next spring."

The woman was startled, choked in her throat, and coughed violently.The young man was so frightened that he quickly put down the bowl and patted the woman on the back.The woman struggled to get up, pushed the young man out forcefully, and said in a stern voice, "When did you have such an outrageous idea! No, rushing for the exam is a big deal, so you must not go!"

"But, mother, your body... There can be no one at home!" The young man said anxiously: "Mother, don't worry, I won't go to Chunwei once every four years, but I will definitely go next time! Four years After that, mother, your health is better, we will set off in summer, and I will take you to Beijing together!"
