Xu He was dumbfounded.
A woman in her thirties rushed forward and hugged him. In a blink of an eye, she burst into tears.
When he calmed down, he realized that the person in front of him was his mother Xie in this life.
Xu He's nearly forty-year-old soul was really a little shy to be hugged. At this time, he could only tense up like a piece of wood, and his mother's overjoyed cries could be heard in his ears.
After a while, the women around them pulled Xu's mother away, and Xu He was able to breathe a little.
Qian Yu often came to Xu's house to play with Xu He, so he naturally knew Xu's mother. When he saw this, he immediately replaced Xu He who had not recovered and said: "Auntie, don't cry, there is a big happy event, a big happy event!"
A group of classmates who were not home immediately joined in congratulating him.
This scene directly confused everyone present.
Didn't it mean that Xu He touched his head against a pillar and died to make his ambition known? What joy is there?
Besides, Xu's mother had long since discovered a fresh wound on her son's head...
At this time, Xu He finally woke up from the state of two lives. His mother died young in his previous life, and he lacked maternal love since he was a child. Being hugged by Xu's mother, he was also infected by this strong feeling of licking the calf.
He lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt down: "Mother, it's my son's unfilial piety that makes my mother worried!"
Xu's mother wiped away her tears and nodded repeatedly: "As long as my son is fine, just fine!"
At this time, Xu He's classmates talked about what happened during the day.
When everyone talked about Huang Youcai's false accusation against Xu He, the old man clenched his fists angrily: "When I meet this Huang Youcai on a daily basis, the old man knows that he is not a thing, and he has done such an outrageous thing."
Xu's mother also looked worried. The Huang family was powerful and they had a son who was a Jinshi. It would be dangerous for such a family to care about her.
But after a while, Qian Yu talked about thunder in the sky, and the county magistrate changed his mind. When Xu He answered fluently, everyone clenched their fists nervously, and their fingertips turned white.
"My son, Jiren, has his own destiny, Amitabha!" Xu's mother quickly knelt down on the ground with her hands together and kowtowed a few times toward the west.
Xu He quickly stepped forward and helped her up.
Qian Yu is a good storyteller. He was almost depressed before, so he started talking about Xu He's performance in the county examination room. When he mentioned that Xu He was named the leader of the case by the county magistrate on the spot, and Huang Youcai was punished to kneel at the dragon gate. , everyone, including the classmates who were riding together in the car, couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Hearing this, Xu Que, who had just acted like a tiger in front of everyone, was already blushing. He took advantage of everyone's concern for Xu He and prepared to slip away with his tail between his legs.
Unexpectedly, Xu Peng saw this scene, and he deliberately shouted loudly: "Xu Que, where are you going?"
Xu Que had just left the crowd, and when he heard this, he almost covered his head with clothes in shame. At this time, even though he felt unwilling to do so, he did not dare to offend the public again, so he had to run away in a hurry.
Because I was walking so fast, I tripped over a stone on the ground and fell down hard.
When everyone saw this, they laughed louder compared to his arrogance just now.
Xu He and a group of classmates here were a little confused when they saw this.
Xu Peng told what happened just now.
The little fat man Qian Yu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "It's easy to say that he's a bitch. He follows Xu Luan all day long into gambling houses and brothels in the city. He's not a good guy!"
But Chu Yuan frowned slightly, and whispered in Xu He's ear: "Xiao He, I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Xu Luan's side..."
Xu He nodded when he heard this and gave him a reassuring look.
Compared to Xu He's safe return and the fact that he was ordered to take the county examination case by the county magistrate on the spot, Xu Que's incident could only be regarded as a minor episode.
Elder A held Xu He's arm and said, "That's great, Xiao He. I knew you were a good scholar, and you have lived up to your expectations. It's up to you to get ahead as a member of our Xu family!"
Xu He quickly bowed and said to him: "Uncle, I am very complimentary. I will definitely live up to my expectations. I will continue to study hard."
Lao Zhang laughed heartily: "Look, look, you are a scholar, and your speech is different!"
After a conversation, the classmates said goodbye to the Xu family, got in the car and left.
When everyone gradually dispersed, Lao Jia's father and son were also preparing to say goodbye.
Xu Peng held Xu He's arm and said: "Xiaohe, tomorrow I will go to the Cao River to catch some fish to replenish your health. Study hard and don't let Auntie down!"
Xu He nodded: "Brother Peng, thank you, thank you, uncle!"
Lao Changjia laughed, waved casually to the mother and son, and took his son Xu Peng home!
Now everyone had left, and the noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet again. Xu's mother looked at Xu He with a kind face: "He'er, go in and have a rest first, and mother will cook for you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xu He to answer, he hurried to the kitchen to light a fire.
Poor parents in the world, they have been worried for a whole day and have not eaten a grain of rice. When they see their son come back, they immediately light a fire to cook.
There was an inexplicable emotion brewing in Xu He's heart, and his eyes were slightly moist.
But the next second when he walked into the home of this life, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
A lamp like a bean, the dim room can be described as bare walls. Except for a memorial tablet on a table for Xu He's dead father, Xu Wei, there is no other furniture in the main room.
Walking into his room, on the desk made of broken wooden boards, there were only pens, inks, paper and inkstones for reading. By the way, there was also a bed. The bed was also made of wooden boards on adobe bricks. There were some patches on the quilt, but Very clean and tidy.
From such a shabby family background, his mother still wanted to support him in studying.
And it lasts for three years.
Xu He finally knew why he felt a sense of admiration in his heart when he saw Mrs. Xie. Children of such a great mother should naturally know how to be grateful.
"He'er, come out and eat quickly!"
Just when Xu He was familiar with the surrounding environment, Mrs. Xie had already prepared food in the main room and was waiting for him to go out.
When the mother and son were sitting at the table, Xu He saw that tonight's staple food was two bowls of porridge. One bowl of soup was as clear as water, one bowl contained half a bowl of rice grains, and the vegetables were only mixed with young sprouts of wild vegetables in early spring.
"Mom, you..." Xu He couldn't help but feel sad when he saw that people could be seen in the rice soup in the bowl in front of Mr. Xie.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xie forced a smile and said, "It's no use to me. My son passed the county examination, but he only had a bowl of porridge..."
Even though Xu He was a man in two lifetimes, he couldn't control himself when he heard these words, tears streaming down his face: "Mom, it's probably my son who is useless. My son must study hard in the future so that his mother can live a good life!"
Hearing this, Xu's mother smiled and said: "Okay, okay, my son has grown up, but you don't have to worry about family expenses. In a few days, I will go to your uncle to borrow some money and food. You are growing up, so you can't be in debt!"
While the mother and son were eating and talking, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
"Are those from the third family here?"
Xu's mother was stunned when she heard the voice, and quickly replied: "Yes, yes!"
The man outside the door asked again: "The elder asked if Brother He is back?"
Xu's mother quickly looked at Xu He.
Xu He didn't know who the visitor was, but when he saw his mother's eager eyes, he quickly replied: "Xu He is back!"
The visitor said "Hmm", and then said: "Then you will go to the elder's house later. The elder wants to tell you something!"
After the man finished speaking, there was no movement.
Xu's mother quickly urged: "Hurry up and eat, your uncle Song is looking for you!"
