When Hu Changshou saw the door of his house from a distance, he could no longer restrain his excitement and shouted loudly: "Nai, Xiaoyang, I'm back."
At the end, Hu Changshou's voice was a little choked.
He is back, he is back alive. He has encountered many dangers along the way, but it is not easy for him to come back alive.
Mr. Cao was lighting the fire, Hu Changyang was weaving baskets, and Su Xiaozhi was chopping vegetables. When they heard the sound, they were all startled.
Su Xiaozhi accidentally cut her finger. She swallowed nervously. Regardless of the blood on her hand, she subconsciously pinched it with both hands.
Hu Changyang had already thrown away the basket and ran towards Hu Changshou, choking and shouting as he ran: "Brother——"
Mrs. Cao's eyes were red, she put down the poker, got up and went out to greet her. Her eldest grandson came back alive.
Hu Changyang had already rushed to hug Hu Changshou tightly: "Brother, you are back."
Hu Changshou also hugged Hu Changyang back. Both brothers were very emotional. They let go of their hands and looked at each other. Both of them had red eyes.
There are not many words in greetings, everything is said without words.
Hu Changshou looked at Mr. Cao, pursed his lips, smiled and said, "Mistress, I'm back."
Mrs. Cao walked up to him, looked Hu Changshou up and down, then stretched out his hand to check carefully, and then sighed: "Just come back, thank you for your hard work."
Mrs. Cao did not ask Hu Changshou how much suffering he had gone through, as she was afraid that it would be too distressing to know.
It would be best if you can come back safely.
Ms. Cao held Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang with the other hand. She said with all her heart: "Brother Yang, now that the world is changing, don't be impatient. Scholars will always be needed by the world. You should study hard.
Always remember the kindness of your cousins from the Su family. Even if they don’t need to repay the kindness, we can’t forget it. When we get married and start a business in the future, we must tell our children that we have many relatives and friends when we are rich, but we don’t give much money when we are in trouble, you know?”
Hu Changyang nodded cautiously: "Well, don't worry, grandma, I will remember it and I will not forget it. I will not embarrass dad and you."
Mrs. Cao looked at her two grandchildren and felt at ease.
As long as a person has a grateful heart, he will never go astray no matter what.
Su Xiaozhi stared blankly. She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide.
As soon as Hu Changshou entered the house, he saw Su Xiaozhi.
Su Xiaozhi didn't dare to look at Hu Changshou, and she didn't speak.
Hu Changshou stared at Su Xiaozhi indifferently.
Mrs. Cao sighed and said: "Brother Shou, your mother is back home. This time, she will not make you two brothers sad again. Just... trust her again. She is not bad, she is just ownerless."
, your father passed away early, and she has no idea in her heart, alas..."
This time when Su Xiaozhi came back, Mrs. Cao knew that she had something on her mind.
Now that Mr. Su and the Wang family have gone, Su Xiaozhi is the mother of two children. When Hu Daniu was alive, Su Xiaozhi was dominated by Hu Daniu. When Hu Daniu passed away, her sky collapsed. She was like duckweed, but
Do you have any opinions of your own?
Her marriage to Hu Daniu was also fought for by Su Sanlang. Otherwise, how could she marry into the Hu family? Su Xiaozhi couldn't get out of Wang's control. She was so passive. Cao didn't blame her because
She understands this.
Hu Changyang looked at Hu Changshou. He said nothing. Anyway, he listened to his brother.
Hu Changshou looked at Su Xiaozhi, with those memories in his mind.
Su Xiaozhi kept her head hanging. She had no face to look at Hu Changshou. From that day on, she had no face to see her son. She came to atone for her sins. Even if her son drove her away, she would not leave. She did not ask her son to take care of her. She just wanted to be here.
In your lifetime, do something within your ability.
No matter what, she won't leave.
If she can't live at home, she can live in a cowshed.
Hu Changshou saw Su Xiaozhi's tears falling, his eyes drooped, and he saw blood on her hands. Hu Changshou pursed his lips, swallowed, and said, "If she wants to stay, then she can stay."
He turned around and said coldly: "There will be no next time."
In the first sentence, he expressed his position so that Mr. Cao and Hu Changyang could feel at ease.
The second sentence was meant for Su Xiaozhi, and he knew she understood.
The relationship between their mother and son is irreversible. He can forgive Su Xiaozhi for ignoring them for the sake of his parents. He can also accept that Su Xiaozhi has made him sad countless times. He can even accept that Su Xiaozhi ruined his life, but only once.
He would never give Su Xiaozhi that chance again.
Ms. Cao breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Hu Changshou was talking about Su Xiaozhi's contact there.
Hu Changyang thought so too. It was only when he lowered his eyes and inadvertently saw Hu Changshou's clenched fists so hard that his joints turned white that Hu Changyang realized that things were not what he thought. There was something wrong with him.
Neither grandma nor I know.
At this moment, Hu Changyang became indifferent to Su Xiaozhi. He didn't need to know what happened, he only knew that he would always believe in his elder brother.
"Why is your hand bleeding? Go and take care of it quickly. Brother Shou, come home. Let's eat something good today. It's too late to kill the chicken now."
Ms. Cao said gently to Su Xiaozhi.
Su Xiaozhi nodded and said "Hey", she moved her steps and went out.
After Su Xiaozhi went out, Mrs. Cao sighed and shook her head. She turned back and smiled kindly at her two grandsons: "I'll put incense sticks for your father."
After Mr. Cao left, Hu Changyang looked at Hu Changshou and asked in a low voice: "Brother, has she... done something bad?"
Hu Changshou shook his head: "It's all over."
Hu Changshou had no intention of saying anything, and Hu Changyang didn't ask any further questions.
Mrs. Cao went into the room to offer incense to Hu Daniu. She sighed softly and said in a low voice: "My son, don't blame her. She can't decide where the rootless duckweed floats. As a woman, she is a woman."
During the Great Tribulation, my grandchildren are not filial people, so there is nothing to worry about. This time when she comes back, I always feel like she has been enlightened. As a spirit in heaven, don’t blame her for knowing."
Mrs. Cao finished mumbling and put on the incense sticks. She smiled again and said, "Mother will bring you some cockscombs. Life is getting better now. Don't worry."
After Mrs. Cao finished, she went out to help Su Xiaozhi.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't say anything. Su Xiaozhi was quick with her hands and feet, so Cao let her do the work.
During dinner in the evening, Mr. Cao asked Hu Changshou: "Brother Shou, where is Xiaolu? Is she okay?"
Su Xiaozhi's eating movements slowed down.
Hu Changyang also put down his chopsticks.
Hu Changshou smiled and said: "Xiaolu is very good. I can come back alive this time, thanks to her."
"Nai, I have decided to join the army. Once I have settled you down, I will join the army. Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself. In two years, when I am free, I can take my little brother to Beijing with me.
The noble prince told me that today's literati have not fallen behind in martial arts." Hu Changshou told Cao about his plan. Now that he was strong and had supernatural powers, he was even more unwilling to be a fish.
"Okay, I listen to you, just do whatever you want." Mrs. Cao didn't ask any questions, let alone object. She smiled and supported her. Her eldest grandson has ambitions, so how could she break her grandson's wings?
