Reborn peasant female scholar

Chapter 77

Tang Meng suddenly became solemn, she dared not speak or laugh, this was the first time she accompanied a person of the opposite sex to the grave, Xu You had a relaxed expression on her face.

Xu You parked the bicycle on the side of the road and locked it up, then took out a stack of Mingqian and a bunch of carnations made of silk from her schoolbag.

Tang Meng followed behind him, walking up a very narrow dirt road. The mountain is not high, and the mountain road is not difficult to walk.

Xu You suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "My mother is very beautiful. I remember when I was young, my neighbors praised her as the most beautiful in our family's courtyard."

"You don't look like your mother, do you?" Tang Meng asked.

"Neighbors say I look like my mom. Huh? I can hear you complimenting me."

Tang Meng sneered, "You really have a thick skin."

After walking for more than ten minutes, they came to the halfway up the mountain and saw several earthen graves.The strange thing is that Tang Meng didn't feel scared at all. She would definitely be scared if she came alone, but she didn't feel scared at all when she was with Xu You.From a distance, she saw a bluestone tombstone standing in front of an earthen grave, and there was a photo of the deceased on it.

Tang Meng could recognize at a glance that this must be Xu You's mother, because Xu You's facial features were so similar to those of the woman in this photo.Xu You really didn't mean to praise his mother on purpose, his mother is indeed beautiful, the kind that is very delicate and very temperamental.

Xu You silently put away the Mingqian, then inserted the carnations, and then squatted down to pull up the newly grown grass around the earthen grave and on the mound.

Tang Meng also helped pull it out, and couldn't help but ask him, "Is your mother suffering from some serious illness?"

Xu You paused, then pulled the weeds, and said, "No. My mother is a dance teacher and has always been in good health. She committed suicide."

Tang Meng was taken aback, committing suicide?She was too scared to ask any more questions.

Xu You said lightly: "Don't be afraid, my mother has no mental problems, nor is she paranoid, she was just misunderstood by my father and couldn't think about it for a while. Back then, my mother and a male teacher at the school formed a dance partner to practice. I want to participate in a national competition. People in that era were very conservative. Seeing my mother and other men practicing dance together every day, there were a lot of gossip. And my father wanted to save face, so he told her not to participate in that competition. Yes. Dancing is my mother’s lifelong career. She takes it very seriously and wants to get a big prize back, so she insists on going. After that, my father and my mother quarreled every day. I remember that I didn’t dare to dance after school. Entering the house. Until one day, my father scolded my mother, saying that she was so persistent because she must have fallen in love with that male teacher, and said that the two of them hugged each other all day long, and there were problems when there was no problem. My mother was angry Had to run out of the house and never... came home, she drank poison at school."

After Xu You finished speaking, his back was turned to Tang Meng, still pulling the grass in his hand, but his eyes were full of tears.

Fortunately, Tang Meng could only see his back, not his tears, otherwise she would not know how to comfort him.

Not long after, Xu You turned around again, his tears were gone, but his eyes were very red.He said nonchalantly: "I remember when I was a child, my mother often told me that a man should be open-minded and upright. She hoped that I would grow up to be a person who can do great things, and a person who knows how to protect women. I said when I was young, When I grow up, I must protect my mother, but..."

He suddenly changed the subject, "My mother always said that a man would be terrible if he had no knowledge or culture, so I have to study hard and get into a good university."

Tang Meng could hold back before, but when he said the last sentence, Tang Meng's eyes turned red, and she wanted to cry too.Back then because of her, Xu You failed to go to college. How regretful and painful he must have been. Perhaps it was because of this reason that he no longer contacted his former classmates, nor did he contact her.

Tang Meng held back her tears and said with a choked voice, "Your grades are very good, and you will definitely be admitted to a good university."

The grass has been pulled out, Xu You stood up, clapped his hands, and said: "I will take you to the library in the city later, there are many good books in it, and there are also many essays and old books. Materials for the college entrance examination. We can read them there, or borrow them out. I have a library card."

"Okay." Tang Meng agreed, and then squeezed out a little smile and said, "Study hard and improve every day!"
