Xiao Sanli moved very quickly. Su Jin felt that within a short time, there was a bowl of noodles in front of him, with an egg lying on it. When he opened the noodles, there were a few pieces of meat underneath.
Su Jin looked at the half-year-old child in surprise, wondering why he, who was always stingy, was willing to put eggs instead of meat.
Seeing Su Jin like this, Xiao Sanli felt a little uncomfortable. He sat down and said awkwardly: "Mom, I'll add eggs and meat for you. This bowl of noodles is worth an ocean."
"Just stop making noodles and go rob."
"I don't have the strength to tie a chicken, so I can't do robbery." Xiao Sanli sighed with regret. Although he thought of something again, he came closer to Su Jin and said, "Mom, you know, I met someone on the road today. A martial arts master, I think he is very powerful. Do you know, he can defeat more than ten tall and strong men by himself? I think it is impossible for a person to walk outside without some self-defense ability. I decided to do it every day After returning from school, I go to the martial arts studio to learn martial arts, and I also go to the martial arts studio to learn martial arts on my days off..."
"So the injury on your leg was caused by watching the martial arts master fight with those dozen strong men?" Su Jin took a bite of the noodles. Oh, it's quite delicious. This kid Sanli has some skills. I don’t know if it’s because his parents are smart, but Xiao Sanli is good at whatever he studies.
Su Jin couldn't help but think that in the life when the original owner took the wrong path and did the wrong things, Xiao Sanli was able to prosper in the war-torn era because of more than just flattering others.
Xiao Sanli scratched his head after listening to Su Jin's words. He knew that his mother had sharp eyes and could see everything, "No, even when I was selling melon seeds today, I met someone charging protection fees. The business in front of the cinema was not good in the first place. , all the money was confiscated by them.
I thought that people who watch movies don’t like eating melon seeds, but those who watch dramas and listen to books should like it, so I went to the tea house and the theater. Who knows, I was charged protection money again, it was still the same group of people, so I went with them Theoretically, they said that I had changed places, so I should pay two protection fees. The master of Qingfeng Martial Arts School saw how pitifully a child like me was being bullied, so he helped me stand up..."
Xiao Sanli told Su Jin the whole story. Thinking about what happened during the day, he couldn't help blurting out: "If I were powerful, I wouldn't have to suffer like this today."
"Mom, the owner of Qingfeng Martial Arts School is the natal brother of Xu Dashuai's third aunt. The ones who collect the protection money are the Tiger Gang, which is the largest gang in Mingcheng. But after they knew the identity of the martial arts master, they backed down. I thought at that time , Power is really a good thing, it can make evil people fearful and good people afraid."
Su Jin didn't expect Xiao Sanli to say such words. She looked at the noodles in the bowl and said in a gentle voice: "Power is indeed a good thing. It can make you happy, but it can also destroy you easily. Sanli, today Qingfeng Martial Arts School Your master used Marshal Xu’s power to help you, and you think power is good. But one day, someone borrows Marshal Xu’s power to steal your money and humiliate your character, will you still think it is a good thing?”
"Mom, I understand what you are saying, so I feel that if I can control power, then it will be a really good thing for me." Xiao Sanli smiled, and the little dots on his face made him look a little honest.
"Now I understand the meaning of studying. I want to be an official, a high official, but becoming an official cannot just rely on studying. I also need to have money, mother, our family's money..."
"I'm telling you, don't even think about those two gold bars. It's impossible to give them to you. You have to rely on yourself to do whatever you want to do. However, if you rely on your own strength to make me and your father If you are in disgrace for eternity, then don’t blame your mother for killing me out of righteousness." Su Jin threatened, dragging Xiao Sanli to the study and lighting the oil lamp, "Mom, I will be extravagant tonight, read with you, and join the martial arts in the next few days. Don’t take a break after returning from the library. Read books and history books. If you want to be an official, just look at how those officials in history became officials.”
Xiao Sanli was dumbfounded. He picked up the book and said, "Have I not read these?"
"You can't read it, you have to read it thoroughly. Mom wants you to read history books because she wants you to understand the past of our country and nation. She wants you to read books and newspapers from foreign countries because she wants you to understand the present. Only by understanding the past and the present, can you understand the past and the present." Only then can you better control the future. Of course, everyone can tell you the truth. I don’t know how much you can listen to it, but it’s good if you can listen a little."
Xiao Sanli looked at his mother through the light of the oil lamp. She was a woman with small feet. It was difficult for her to walk, but she brought him and his sister to the provincial capital to give them good educational resources and help them understand their future. There are choices.
Looking back now, Xiao Sanli felt that his days in Youfu Village were a bit blurry. He vaguely remembered that he was rejected, isolated and laughed at because of his little pockmark and little husband, but now he has forgotten how he felt at that time.
He thought that he must have been in pain and anger at that time, just like today when he was insulted by the Tiger Gang, he was in pain, anger, and powerlessness, so when he saw the masters from the martial arts school knocking them down and carrying them out of the Marshal's Mansion to let them dare Only when he was angry and dared not speak, did Xiao Sanli long for strength and power.
That's why he said those words to his mother. Now seeing that his mother was afraid that he would take the wrong path and become a bad person, he felt very complicated.
His father had a diary. Although he had never met his father, from his mother's description, Xiao Junqiu's memories and the diary left by his father, Xiao Sanli could imagine that his father must be an upright and elegant gentleman.
Because his father is upright and elegant, Xiao Junqiu and his mother also hope that he can become that kind of person.
The upright and elegant father was eager to help more people and save this devastated country through his own power. Unfortunately, before he had time to carry out his revenge, he fell asleep in that small village forever.
Ever since he knew that Xiao Junqiu was going abroad, Xiao Sanli had been thinking about the path he would take in the future. It was obvious that Xiao Junqiu wanted to realize his father's ambition, and his mother did not have high expectations for him, as long as he was upright and upright.
But he thought that Lei Luozheng would not live long in this barbaric world and would be bullied. Maybe he could be a little more cunning.
But mother really didn’t want him to become cunning. Thinking of this, Xiao Sanli smiled and said, “I know mother, I won’t let you and dad down. If one day I become a person like Qin Hui, you will Give me two little yellow croakers, and I promise to become the kindest and most upright official immediately."
"Oh, forget it, being an official is complicated. I'd better make money. I only make money. Can I stop reading? I'm really tired today." Xiao Sanli prayed pitifully, covering his legs and shouting deliberately It hurt, and she wanted Su Jin to be soft-hearted. Who knew that Su Jin went back to the house to get the medicine, and while wiping it on Xiao Sanli, he said, "Read your father's diary again and let you rest."
Xiao Sanli knew that he had to read something tonight, and sighed resignedly. At this moment, he actually missed Xiao Junqiu, who had just left today.
If Xiao Junqiu were here, she would be pleading for him now. Although it might not work, it could at least divert her mother's attention.
Xiao Sanli read the diary, imagining the childhood life and study abroad life of his father whom he had never met before, and said to his mother: "The Xiao family is really rich. It would be great if one day I could recognize my ancestor and return to my family. My grandfather is rich. My grandmother’s family is powerful, the Du family, is it the Du family in Lingcheng?”
Seeing Su Jin nodding, Xiao Sanli said again: "Why doesn't Mom take us to Lingcheng?"
"The population of the Du family is complicated. Ever since your grandmother's brother passed away, there has been a quarrel between the first and seventh families. Now the Du family in Lingcheng was originally the second family, and it also has a bright appearance. Most of the Du family's wealth has followed the first family. We went to Chongzhou, and your grandmother is at odds with the old lady from the second room, so it’s useless for me to take you to Lingcheng. You might even get laughed at, and then send us away as if we were being dismissed.”
Listening to what Su Jin said, Xiao Sanli nodded thoughtfully, "Then why not go to City S? The world is peaceful now. There has been no war for a long time, so there is no need to worry about bullets."
"I can't walk. If I could walk, why wouldn't I want to go? Well, stop asking and learn from your father through the diary."
