Tie Kui's Extra Story (145)
Before Fang Hui left, he told Ning Hai that he wanted to send him and his brother to study in the capital.
"Father, He'er is very smart, he can learn things quickly. He learned hundreds of family names in three days. Now, he can recite them backwards." In fact, he also hoped that Ning Hai would agree to go to the capital to study with his brother. In the future, the child will pass the imperial examination and become an official, so he won't have to fight anymore, which is very good.
Ning Hai leaned on the pillow and asked, "Is this your idea, or Tang's idea?"
"It was my idea."
Ning Hai didn't believe it at all: "Are you willing to let Brother and I go to the capital alone? This matter is Tang's idea!"
Looking at Ning Hai's eyes that seemed to know everything, Fang Hui couldn't deny it anymore: "She is also doing it for the sake of the child. Dad, and my brother are indeed material for studying."
"I didn't expect that her heart would grow stronger in just a few years. I think that if Brother Zhuang has it, her son should too." People's hearts are changeable, but within a few years Tang has been dissatisfied with the status quo. After a few years, when the child grows up, the desire becomes bigger and bigger. So, his plan for a rainy day back then was not superfluous.
Fang Hui felt that Ning Hai misunderstood Tang, and said: "Father, Xuezhen is not such a person. Father, Hegeer is so smart, and the teacher in Tongcheng is not high-level. We don't want to delay Hegeer, so we want to send him away. He went to the capital to study."
Ning Hai sneered, and didn't continue to talk about Tang's badness, which was meaningless: "I'm old and my health is not good. I can barely take care of Brother Zhuang and Brother Hang, and I don't have the energy to help you raise children anymore. " Actually, Brother Zhuang and Brother Hang are not in charge of Ning Hai alone. Although Ning Zhan is busy, he has learned from Fang Jia's past. He has never relaxed the education of his children. It's just that, he didn't bother to say it. Fang Hui has a heart, so he naturally knows it. If he had no intention, he would not be grateful to Ah Zhan no matter how much he said. However, as long as Brother Zhuang remembers Ning Zhan's goodness in his heart, that's enough.
Fang Hui was a little ashamed: "Father, it's because I didn't think carefully."
"It's because you didn't think carefully, or you still can't resist Tang's plea, I know very well." Fang Hui has such a temperament, he can't refuse the plea of his relatives. It used to be Fang Jia, then Ma, and now Tang.
Over the years, Ning Hai has already seen through his temperament. There is no problem with his character, he is a righteous person, he can act without principles and is easily influenced by his close relatives.
Fang Hui really liked Tang shi, and when he heard what Ning Hai meant, he hurriedly said, "Father, you misunderstood..."
Ning Hai waved his hand and said: "Hegeer is smart, it is a good thing that you want him to go back to the capital to study. But I am too old to help you take care of the children, and you and Ah Zhan have separated, so there is no reason to let him My brother will help you raise your children." When you get older, your health is not very good.
Some things are not well thought out. Ning Zhan just made up for this part. But Ning Zhan is also very busy, and by the way, he helps teach Brother Zhuang that he can do it. But if he picks up Brother He again, he will definitely object.
Fang Hui said: "I was reckless."
Ning Hai was not angry, but said: "It's a good thing for a child to be smart and able to study, so don't neglect him. Fang Hui, you can let Mrs. Tang take the child back to Beijing to study." In fact, there is another way, that is, Fang Hui's mediation Back to the capital. In this way, the whole family returned to Beijing. But he knew that Fang Hui would definitely not return to Beijing. Fang Hui is now a general from the fourth rank, and there is still a lot of room for promotion in Tongcheng. But if he returns to Beijing, he might not be able to surpass the third grade in his life.
Fang Hui said: "Father, I will consider it." In fact, he would not consider it at all, because he would not let Tang return to Beijing. Firstly, he was reluctant to be separated from Tang Shi, and secondly, Tang Shi brought the children back to Beijing and could not live in the Anyang Marquis Mansion. A man without a head in the family was easily bullied.
Mrs. Xiao entered the room and asked Ning Hai: "Why did I seem to hear something about studying with Brother Zhuang? What did Fang Hui tell you? Could it be that you didn't teach Brother Zhuang well?"
Ning Hai smiled and said: "If he dares to say such things, I will definitely beat him to death." He worked hard to help him teach the children, but he dared to think that he had not taught the children well, so he had to clean up.
Seeing that Ning Hai didn't want to say anything, Xiao didn't continue to ask: "A Zhan just told me that he wants to go back with us. I told him to wait for Dad Qiqi before leaving, and let him go back first." In addition, Ning Hai If they are not in good health, they will definitely walk slower in a carriage. Ah Zhan is going to work, this time he is on leave, so we can't wait too long.
"Let him go back first, and after Dad's first seven days are over, we will set off to return to Beijing." Tiehu is gone, and there is nothing worthy of her nostalgia here.
After Fang Hui and Ning Zhan left, Ning Hai said to Hong Bo, "I want to go into the mountains and have a look."
Hong Bo asked with some concern: "Uncle, are you in good health?"
"Bring more people, and if you can't climb it, let them lift it." If you don't go to see it this time, you won't have the chance to go again in the future.
Hongbo looked at Xiao Shi.
Xiao nodded her head: "His dream has come true, and he won't talk about it all day long in the future."
Seeing this, Hongbo had no choice but to say to Ning Hai: "Uncle, let's go again in three days!" First send someone to clear the road, otherwise it will be full of thorns and branches, making it difficult to walk.
Three days later, a group of people went up the mountain at dawn. It's much colder up the mountain than down the mountain, so it's good to bring warm clothes.
After walking for two days, we arrived at the stone house.
The stone house has not been lived in for a long time, and there is a chill in the heart. When Xiao walked in, she couldn't help shivering: "You live in such a cold place, don't blame your body for being so cold."
Ning Hai smiled and said: "The cold on my body is caused by hunting in the snow in winter, and it has nothing to do with the house. We burn the kang in winter, and we sleep warm at night. I guess it's because I haven't lived there for a long time, so I feel very cold."
Taking Ning to the back of the house, he pointed to a field full of weeds. Ning Hai said: "This used to be a vegetable field. In summer, the yard is full of cucumbers, beans, and other vegetables. When cooking, go directly to Just pick it.” It’s a pity that it hasn’t been lived in for many years, and it’s all deserted.
"You can grow your own vegetables, but what about food?" There is no way to grow food on the mountain.
Ning Hai smiled and said, "I also grow food, but a lot of it is ruined by wild animals. Fortunately, there are many things to eat on the mountain, and my father is good at hunting and there is no shortage of meat in the family, so there is no need to buy much food."
On the second day, Ning Hai happily went hunting with his bow and arrows, but Xiao couldn't stop him. As a result, he flashed his waist.
Xiao was furious: "Do you think you are still in your 20s or 30s? People in their 60s are still trying to be brave."
Ning Hai was also very depressed, but he just wanted to hunt a rabbit, but he lost his waist in the end.
Because of this accident, a group of people hurried down the mountain. After buying the plaster, Mrs. Xiao put the hot plaster on Ning Hai's body.
"Ouch……"
Xiao snorted coldly: "Forget about the pain, you won't have to worry about me all day long."
Ning Hai felt wronged and didn't dare to say anything.
Twenty days have passed since Fang Hui returned to Pickaxe City with Brother Zhuang and Brother Hang.
Back at the mansion, Brother Zhuang asked: "Father, does mother still live in the old courtyard?"
Fang Hui hummed and said, "She and your sister still live in the old courtyard." Mrs. Ma lives in the main courtyard, the best courtyard among the back houses. No matter how much Fang Hui liked Tang Shi, he couldn't let him surpass Ma Shi. Otherwise, saliva stars can spray him to death.
Brother Zhuang hurried to find his mother after hearing this. Brother Hang followed behind and shouted: "Brother, wait for me!"
Mrs. Tang was teaching her daughter Qianqian the Book of Poetry, and she was overjoyed to see Fang Hui: "Husband, you are back." Since they married Fang Hui, they rarely separated.
When Qianqian saw Fang Hui, she reached out to hug him.
Fang Hui likes Tang's three children very much, and dotes on them very much on weekdays. Strict father and loving mother, they lost all of them.
Tang said: "Cissy, don't be naughty. Your father was very tired when he came back, and now he needs to rest."
Fang Hui looked at the little girl with tears in her eyes, and instantly softened her heart, and hurried forward to hug her in her arms. As a result, he was rejected by his daughter. Because I haven't showered for more than 20 days, my body smells bad.
Tang was so amused that he hurriedly ordered his mother-in-law to fetch hot water for him to take a bath.
When Tang Shi helped him rub his back, Fang Hui said: "Brother Zhuang came back with me. Also, Yuanhang also came. But after the beginning of spring, they have to return to the capital."
Tang clapped his hands, and then deliberately complained in a coquettish tone: "Why didn't you write to me about such a big matter, so I can tidy up the room."
Fang Hui shook his head and said: "No need to clean up, Brother Zhuang will definitely live in Ma's yard. When Brother Hang was in the Hou Mansion, he lived with Brother Zhuang. There is no need to arrange an extra room for him here. gone."
"Okay. Then I'll send some new quilts and other things over." She took care of the house, and she arranged these things.
After rubbing Fang Hui's back a few more times, Tang asked in a low voice, "Husband, have you talked to dad about the matter with brother?"
Fang Hui was silent for a while and said: "I said it. But my father said that he is old and his health is not good, so he can't take care of him and brother."
Brother Zhuang is a grandson, and brother He is also a grandson, but this attitude is very different. Thinking of this, Tang felt uncomfortable for a while, and immediately choked up and said: "It's all me, it's me who got tired and my brother."
In fact, even if he and brother are brother Zhuang's siblings, Ning Hai would not agree. He hoped that all his children and grandchildren would attend, but that had to be done within his means.
Fang Hui turned around, grabbed Tang's hand and said, "Xuezhen, brother and brother are too young now. Even if father is willing to let him go to the capital, I will not bear it. Xuezhen, I have made up my mind. When he is ten years old, send him to the capital to study." At the age of ten, he can almost be independent.
Tang asked with some hesitation: "Will Dad agree to let Ah He go to the capital to study?"
Fang Hui corrected: "Xuezhen, Dad just said that he and his brother are too old to take care of him, and he didn't say that he and his brother can't go to the capital to study. I have a house in the capital, and I don't need to live in Anyang to study in the capital with my brother. Go to the Marquis." Therefore, this matter does not require Ning Hai's consent.
Tang's complexion changed slightly: "Kegeer is so young and doesn't live in the Anyang Marquis Mansion, so it's easy to be bullied."
"Since you are worried, then wait for him to go to the capital to study when he is older!" After finishing speaking, Fang Hui said, "Don't worry, I will find a good husband for He personally."
Tang Shi was afraid that Fang Hui would be unhappy if she said it again, so she nodded immediately and said, "Okay." It seems that she has to find a way by herself.
