Then he tore off two chicken wings with the breast meat attached and gave them to his father and mother. His father shook his head and gave the wings to the third child. His mother hesitated and put the wings in the eldest daughter-in-law's bowl. The eldest daughter-in-law spread her wings again and wanted to put it in Wang Da's bowl, but Wang Da blocked her back.
The whole chicken was quickly torn into pieces by Wang Da and distributed to everyone. He knew that if he did not force the distribution, the chicken would be served as it was brought up, and two chicken drumsticks would be given to the third and Yao. Sister. Even so, his father and mother refused to eat a bite of the chicken and gave it all to them.
The family finished breakfast in silence. His father got up and went inside and took out three luggage rolls. Give two luggage rolls to Wang Da and the other to Wang Er. Then he twisted the left corner of his clothes with his hand. When Wang Da saw it, he subconsciously twisted the left corner of his clothes and felt that it was hard in his hand. There was the money his father had sewn in to save his life, so he nodded quietly to show that he understood.
At this time, his mother divided the buns into six and wrapped them, and took out three large gourds filled with water to tie them around their waists. Dad took three more wooden sticks and handed them to Wang Da. They are here for a long journey. The preparation work is completed. ap.
At this time, everyone in the family was silent, and neither men nor women had any desire to speak. Finally, Huang Da said in a dull voice: "Let's go!"
His father also nodded and said, "Let's go."
His mother touched her old son's face and said, "Listen to brother outside."
Different from the silence of his family, the word "eager to try" was written all over the little face of the third child. But he didn't break the silence, he just nodded vigorously! The last three people walked silently outside the village under the watchful eyes of their families.
No one knows how they will fare when they go out? Many people never came back when they went out to find food. In the end, the family just mourned for a while. After all, the dead are not as important as the living!
Not long after leaving the village, Wang Da adjusted the formation. He took the lead, Wang Er followed behind, and Wang San was sandwiched in the middle. He also gave each of the three sticks in his hand a stick, and then continued to move forward in silence.
Wang Da is already a veteran of going out to find food during the lean years. He has been going out for nearly ten years. In the beginning, his father took him, and now he takes his younger brother. Maybe one day their younger brother will start a family and take his own children down this road.
Wang Dashu, who was familiar with the road, found the official road and walked eastward along the official road. There is absolutely no intention of cutting corners at all. After all, there are more people on the official road and it is safer.
Whenever Wang Da encountered a caravan along the way, he would do his best to promote himself and his two brothers. Ask the caravan to take them for a while. When he encountered larger towns, he would take his younger brother to work part-time, or simply go begging. But their goal is firmly and unswervingly eastward.
After walking for more than twenty days, Wang Da felt that he was lucky! They encountered a large caravan. A big man in this caravan was ill and had to stay in an inn in the town to recuperate. He also took a car with him. So Wang Da agreed with the shopkeeper that the three of him would take the place of the two waiters, no money required, just food!
The moment the shopkeeper nodded, Wang Da breathed a sigh of relief! He knew that he would be able to arrive in Tianjin smoothly this time. Because this caravan is rushing to Tianjin. He even began to imagine the scene when he returned home with his two younger brothers, carrying a large bunch of copper coins.
In fact, Wang Da didn't know at all that it was not his efforts that won the shopkeeper's trust. The reason that impressed the shopkeeper was because of his younger brother Wang San!
The big guy who fell ill was the apprentice of the old shopkeeper. After this business trip, the old shopkeeper will step down and hand over the power of the caravan to this big guy. But the old shopkeeper's eyes were dizzy and he couldn't keep accounts at all. However, the only two men in the caravan who could keep accounts were sick, so he thought of taking them in after he found out that Wang San could read and write.
Moreover, the clever old shopkeeper did not reveal that it was because of Wang San that he took in the three brothers. Instead, he acted like I'm teaching you something, and guided Wang San to do the accounts every day. On the contrary, it made the third brother Wang burst into tears of gratitude. He always felt that his brother was taking care of the old shopkeeper and worked harder.
Speaking of Wang San
It is also an anomaly in the Wang family! The Wang family has been farmers for several generations, and they know less than ten characters together, and three of them are repeated! But when it came to Wang San, he actually showed signs of being able to read!
When Wang San was eight years old, Wang Da took him to the town to sell vegetables. When he was setting up the stall, he told Wang San to play by himself and not run around. But when he finished selling the vegetables, he found that Wang San was missing! When he was looking around anxiously, an old gentleman from a private school led Wang San to find him.
It turned out that Wang San ran outside a private school when he was playing, and then he was attracted by the sound of reading. So when the teacher was teaching the students how to read, he followed him with his fingers on the dirt outside the window and learned seven characters.
During the recess, other students discovered Wang San who was studying secretly and reported to the old school teacher. The old gentleman gave him a test on a whim, and found that Wang Sanjuan had memorized eight of the ten words he taught him this morning!
This shocked Mr. So after repeatedly questioning Wang San's situation, he came to Wang Da and asked Wang Da to send Wang San to a private school to study, so as not to waste a promising student. However, with the Wang family's financial situation, it is impossible to support a scholar.
Supporting a scholar not only requires him to be completely out of work, but also requires constant provision of consumables such as pens and ink. Therefore, although the Wang family really hoped to have a scholar in their family, they still had to decline this request.
But this old gentleman didn't know what was going on. Maybe he had never met a good talent in his life, or maybe there were other reasons. Not only did he agree to teach Wang San to read for free, but he also promised to provide him with pen and ink for five years.
This request made the Wang family overjoyed, and they naturally agreed immediately. He also gritted his teeth and tried his best to do some repairs. So Wang San officially became a student of this old private school teacher. Moreover, the old school teacher also named him Wang Zhengguo!
It can be seen from this name that the old school teacher is full of hope for him! And Wang Zhengguo lived up to expectations and showed superhuman learning ability!
But just when the fifth year was about to end, something unexpected happened! The old school teacher died of illness! In desperation, Wang Zhengguo could only return home to farm again. But this year he had to follow his eldest brother and second brother to escape.
