Chapter 226 The spiritual root test once every three years begins!
"You, you're back?"
When the woman saw Tian Er's face clearly, her eyes instantly turned red.
She then patted the boy in front of her gently.
"He's your dad, little bastard!"
Hearing this, Tian Ligong's eyes lit up.
"father!"
He immediately put on a smile and threw himself into Tian Er's arms.
Tian Er immediately picked up the little guy and spun around excitedly.
The father and son had a very pleasant conversation.
After a while, Tian Er held his son on his knees and asked him.
"Why don't you want to read and write?" Tian Er asked.
"Reading and writing are too boring. I don't want to do that. I want to learn martial arts and become a great hero like my dad."
Tian Ligong said this, raising his little fist excitedly.
"Haha, do you want to be a general?" Tian Er smiled and touched the little guy's head.
"General, what is that?" the little guy asked with sparkling eyes.
"A general is someone who can lead a large group of heroes to defend the country." Tian Er explained with a smile.
"Wow, I want to be a general!" Tian Ligong's face was full of anticipation.
"But... if you want to be a great hero, you have to be able to read and understand the art of war. But, our little Ligong doesn't like to read and study, so what can we do?"
Tian Er said this with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Dad, I will study. I will study hard with the teacher tomorrow!"
Tian Ligong's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, but when he thought about becoming a great general, he immediately made up his mind.
"Good, you are really my good son!" Tian Er rubbed the little guy's head lovingly, raised his head, and looked at his wife tenderly.
"Xiaoyan, follow me. Thank you for your hard work."
"You taught Ligong very well."
"It's just that he's so young, it must be very expensive to hire a teacher to teach him."
"These are all gifts from the emperor this time. You should keep them all. Later, you can buy some nice clothes and jewelry. Hehe, you are so beautiful. You will look even better if you dress up."
Tian Er smiled and handed all the rewards to his wife.
"I'm already old, what else do I need to clean up?"
Hearing her husband say this, Xiaoyan blushed in embarrassment, but her heart was sweet.
"Don't worry, we are a good couple, and we didn't hire the teacher."
"I heard that the current emperor wants to popularize compulsory education, and each village has arranged a teacher to teach for free."
"All the houses in the village, big and small, are regularly repaired and inspected by the county magistrate in accordance with the order from above."
"Also, also, the elderly in the village who have no children or whose children died early are all taken care of by special people. I heard that it is called a nursing home."
"In short, life is getting better and better now."
Xiaoyan smiled, her face full of happiness.
Tian Er just listened to her quietly, with a happy and contented look on his face.
……
At the same time, Wang Wu also hurried home.
When he rushed back to the village, he saw the brand new village and was stunned for a moment.
He was shocked, but his old mother was seriously ill and he was always worried about her.
He carried his things and ran home quickly.
"Mom, mom, I'm back!"
Wang Wu happily pushed the door open, only to see that everything was empty.
"Mother? Mother!"
Wang Wu's expression changed drastically in an instant, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Yes...Is the Wang family kid back?"
A neighbor passing by the door heard the noise and couldn't help but speak.
"Aunt Zhang, my mother, she, my mother, has she, already..."
Wang Wu tried hard to suppress the emotions that were about to collapse.
"No, no, you misunderstood. Your mother is fine. She was just taken away by someone."
"It seems to be a place called something like... a nursing home."
"I went to see Aunt Zhang a few days ago, and she looked much better."
what?
Hearing this, Wang Wu immediately wiped away the tears from his eyes, thanked Aunt Zhang, and hurried to the nearest nursing home.
When Wang Wu arrived, he found that the environment inside the nursing home was quiet. Many old men and women were drinking tea and chatting, and some were doing boxing and exercising.
"mother!"
Wang Wu immediately saw his mother drinking tea and chatting with a few old ladies.
He shouted and ran over quickly.
"Hey, look, this is my son."
When Wang Wu Niang heard the familiar voice, she quickly turned around and looked at Wang Wu with surprise. Then she turned around and happily showed off to her old sisters.
"Look, this is my son. Isn't he a handsome man?"
"Sister Li, the niece you just mentioned, let's make an appointment to let these two children meet each other."
Wang Wu Niang said happily.
"Mom, what are you talking about? You look so happy."
Wang Wu walked up to his mother and said with a smile on his face.
Wang Wu saw that his mother looked much better, and he finally felt relieved.
"We are discussing your lifelong affairs."
Wang Wu Niang said with a smile.
The ladies all looked at Wang Wu, making him feel a little embarrassed.
"Mom, how are you?" Wang Wu asked.
"Don't worry, Mom's health has improved a lot. Since we moved into this nursing home, the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital come to treat us every month. We don't have to cook three meals a day ourselves."
"We just take responsibility, play chess, grow flowers, chat, and our days are so comfortable, hahahaha..."
Wang Wuniang said sincerely.
"Speaking of which, all of this should be thanked to our current emperor. We are all thanks to his majesty's great blessing."
Everyone immediately expressed their gratitude for the emperor's grace.
……
On the other side, Redding was walking in the direction of his memory with a lot of rewards in his arms, with a heavy heart. He kept his head down and was so lost in thought that he didn't notice the changes in the village at all.
He was planning to go home, but his footsteps somehow led him to the next door. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a loud noise from inside.
"Mother, I won't marry! That butcher is already in his 50s or 60s, and he has tortured three wives to death. If you let me marry him, I will undoubtedly be sending myself to death!"
A woman's sad sobbing was heard.
When Redding heard this, his heart tightened instantly.
"Xiao Tong, I know you've always wanted to marry the guy next door named Lei, but I advise you to give up on this idea."
"First of all, there has been no news about that guy for some time. He might have died in the battlefield. Secondly, even if he is not dead, how can a soldier like him be as rich as Zhang the butcher?"
"Your brother is getting married, and the girl's family wants thirty taels of money as a betrothal gift. If you don't marry her, how are we going to pay for it? Are you trying to force us old couple to death?"
The child's mother said leisurely while mending clothes.
"Mom, but I will die..."
The child sobbed softly, his tone almost begging.
"You stupid girl, how can you not tell good from bad? You were married to Butcher Zhang, so if nothing else, you had meat for every meal."
"I'm warning you, this marriage is a done deal. Even if you die, you have to die in the Zhang family to earn back the money for your brother's betrothal gift. Do you understand?"
When Redding heard this, he couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly opened the door...
PS:
Thanks to the lurking crowd, Li Meizidudu, Qi Qingyu, and neydhdnsjs for sending their love.
Thanks~( ̄▽ ̄~)~
