The boss turned around and said angrily, "Why are you following me? Why don't you go back to work quickly?"
The mother was too shy to speak, and the boss became even more angry when he saw her.
"What on earth do you want to say? I don't have time to waste time with you here."
My mother's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and then she spoke carefully.
"Boss, can we go into the room and talk?"
Seeing the hesitant look on his mother's face, the boss thought that the mother had something to hide, so he asked the mother to follow him in and closed the door.
After finishing the pot of cigarettes, Lu Feng drove the carriage to the market. As usual, he first came to the door of a certain chamber of commerce. Like most of the carriage drivers who had already been waiting here, he was waiting to call someone inside.
.
Because of Xiaoqiang's incident, Lu Feng was a little depressed along the way. Even though he had a job, he always had a worried look on his face.
But for some reason, after working all day today, the shop owner suddenly showed mercy and gave each driver a few more copper coins. This gradually put a smile on Lu Feng's face.
With the money, Lu Feng thought about buying some food and drinks for his wife and children. After all, the three of them had not eaten anything good these days. After finally making more money today, he naturally wanted to reward his family.
So when he was off work in the evening, he bought a roast goose and happily walked towards the inn.
When he came back, Lu Feng found that his wife was already at home, so he took out the roast goose and smiled.
"Look, what I bought."
According to what Lu Feng thought, his wife would be nagging him non-stop, scolding him for spending money on things he shouldn't have spent. However, Lu Feng had thought about it, and even if his wife blamed him, he would not do it.
refute.
But the next scene surprised him. Instead of blaming him, his wife happily asked him to come and eat together, as if she didn't care about what he was spending money on.
Lu Feng asked strangely, "Don't you blame me for spending money randomly?"
The wife smiled and said, "There's nothing strange about this. Anyway, we haven't eaten barbecue for several days. Our son is growing, so this meal of meat is just enough for you two."
Seeing his wife's sudden enlightenment, Lu Feng felt uncomfortable for a while. He slowly came to the table and sat down to think about it.
At this moment, his wife's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"I'm going to take my son to register at the Magic Academy tomorrow."
This simple sentence instantly made Lu Feng lose his composure, and he asked without thinking.
"Ah! How can we afford to send our son to school?"
The wife said calmly.
"I told the owner of the tailor shop about our situation today, and he promised to lend us two gold coins. From now on, my salary at the tailor shop will be halved to offset our loan."
"Ah!" Lu Feng was shocked by his wife's words. He said in disbelief, "How could the boss agree to us? After all, we have nothing to do with him, how could he lend us money."
The mother smiled slightly and still said calmly.
"I told him about my son's participation in the temple's blessing. He agreed when he learned that his son had a talent for magic. I guess he saw Xiaoqiang's potential, so he helped us. After all, no child can enter the magic academy.
We will live an ordinary life, and he must have seen this, so he helped us."
As the mother spoke, she helped Xiaoqiang tear off the duck meat. During this period, Lu Feng didn't even look at his father. But when Lu Feng, who was opposite him, saw his wife's appearance, he felt a mixture of emotions in his heart and remained speechless. The joy on his face gradually faded away.
replaced by a sad look.
When the mother saw that her father was silent, she raised her head and looked over. Seeing him staring at the plate silently, she seemed to understand something in her heart.
"Looking at you, it's a great thing that your son can enter the magic academy. Why are you looking so sad? It's just two gold coins. When your son enters the academy, it won't be enough for the two of us to live frugally for a year.
Can you earn it?"
Seemingly moved by his wife's words, Lu Feng showed a smile that was uglier than crying. Then he picked up his cigarette, walked out of the house, squatted in the corner and started smoking alone.
Looking at her husband's lonely figure, the mother's eyes showed a hint of self-blame. However, when his eyes looked at Xiaoqiang, the self-blame turned into some kind of expectation, but there was a trace of regret in her heart.
Maybe it will never disappear for life.
Early the next morning, her mother took Xiaoqiang to the White Tiger City Magic Academy. As soon as they arrived at the door, they were stopped by the guard at the door.
"What are you two doing? There are so many people waiting at the gate of White Tiger Academy. You can't stay here. You should leave immediately!"
"Brother, we are here to take a test. My son has magic talent and wants to study in the academy." The mother said hurriedly.
The guard looked at the mother and son up and down, then took out a form from the concierge, handed it to the mother, and said confidently.
"The entry fee is 3 copper coins."
The mother was surprised when she heard that, and she suddenly thought about what the "entry fee" was. But when the guard saw the woman in front of him hesitate, he stepped forward and scolded her.
"Do you want to test or not? If you don't want to test, get out!"
Seeing that the guard was impatient, the mother did not dare to hesitate and immediately took out three copper plates with body temperature from the inner and outer pockets and handed them to the guard.
After receiving the form, my mother immediately had a problem because she had never been to school, so she wanted to ask the guard who had just asked for the copper plate to help fill in the content.
But as soon as he spoke, the guard immediately stretched out his right hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
In order for her son to enter school, the mother had to take out another copper plate, and then helped fill in the contents of the form with the other party's satisfied expression.
With the form in hand, the mother and son were able to enter the academy, but they could not enter through the main entrance because that was a passage specially arranged for teachers and students of the Magic Academy.
The mother and son walked along the huge wall of the Magic Academy for a while and came to the corner of the east gate of the academy. There was a side door of a medium size, which looked like a place where goods were usually transported.
Using the form, the two successfully entered the magic academy, and then after inquiring, they arrived at the testing room specially designed for new students.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses immersed in reading.
When he heard the sound of the door opening, the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses slowly raised his head and saw a mother and son walking in cautiously, with a look of impatience in his eyes.
But the man's cultivation seemed to be much higher than that of the guard. He did not scold or question, but asked calmly.
"Are you here for a test?"
The mother hurriedly replied, "Yes, sir, I want my son to enter the academy to study. He was blessed by the temple when he was young and has a talent for magic."
