Wang Meng glanced into the room, with a simple and honest smile on his dark face.
"Brother Xian, what you said is wrong!
Ah Fu is a learned man and will definitely do a great job in the future. He asked me to go to Xiangyang to return the car, so of course he would take the exam.
This is not Zhongyang Town. We are all blind. It is better to be more careful in everything. In my opinion, Ah Fu must have his own ideas, otherwise he would not have asked me to rush to Xiangyang in such a hurry. You
, I have been tough today, don’t be soft again in the future... Ah Fu is not in good health, Nan is also pregnant, and my uncle is also an honest person... In this family, we have to wait for someone to support us.
Brother, you have to endure it from now on, talk to Ah Fu more, and listen to his ideas more.
You have to know that you are the head of the family. If you are tough, the family will be tough. If you are soft, even if Ah Fu is capable, he will not be able to hold on."
After listening to Wang Meng's words carefully, Cao Ji nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I'm ready here... Ah Fu, I'm leaving now. I'll be back in ten days at the latest, and Hu Tou will follow you. Tell me more about him."
Cao Peng walked out of the house, pulled Wang Mai and said with a smile, "Uncle, I'll leave early and come back early. We can't do without you here."
"Dad, take care of yourself along the way!"
Wang Mai also bowed his hands in a decent manner.
Wang Meng grinned, waved his hand towards Cao Peng, led the horse and led the carriage out of the small courtyard.
The horse neighed loudly and moved forward with Wang Meng's shout. Cao Ji, Cao Peng, and Wang Mai stood at the entrance of the small courtyard, watching the carriage go further and further away, with different thoughts.
Cao Peng looked relaxed, but his heart was heavy.
Wang Meng's trip to Xiangyang this time undoubtedly has a very important mission. I don't know what the final answer will be from Xiangyang?
"Peng'er!"
"Ah...Dad, is something wrong?"
"Come with me for a walk, and take a look at the place my uncle and grandson mentioned."
Cao Ji said, turned around and confessed to the house, and then led Cao Peng out of the village.
Wang Mai is very tired today!
He had a fight with someone during the day, and his bones seemed to fall apart. So he didn't follow him, and simply stayed at home to rest. As for Cao Peng, although he didn't know what Cao Ji was thinking, he also guessed that Cao Ji
I was afraid that I had something to say to him. Cao Peng followed Cao Ji silently all the way, and Cao Peng had no words.
The father and son walked out of the village entrance and walked north along Jishui River. After walking for more than two miles, they saw the peach grove in the distance.
It is the middle of winter, and the peach trees have already withered.
Looking longingly, I could see an abandoned house in the woods.
The gate is about two to three hundred meters away from the main road. One door is upside down, and the other door is leaning slantly against the wall, giving off an air of dilapidation.
There is a stable in the front yard and three side rooms.
The hall is not small, but the windows have no ribs, and the cold wind blows inside.
Across the hall is the backyard.
There are two rows of houses, six houses in total. There are two wells in the backyard, and a piece of the courtyard wall as high as one person has collapsed... Beyond the courtyard wall, and walking two miles away, there is a small river bend.
Sparse forest, broken house.
Small river, flowing water...
Although it is the middle of winter, it outlines a different kind of mood.
"I'm afraid it will cost a lot to renovate this house."
After Cao Ji walked around the yard, he said to himself: "I guess it will take at least ten or twenty strings to get them all."
Cao Peng didn't know much about artificial prices in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
So Cao Ji muttered to the side, and he had no answer. After coming out of the yard, Cao Ji sat on the steps of the gate, turned around and waved, gesturing for Cao Peng to sit down.
"Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Cao Ji couldn't help but laugh, rubbed Cao Peng's head with his big hand, and said softly: "You kid... I know I can't hide this from you.
Peng'er, you killed Cheng Ji in Zhongyang Town. Dad doesn't think you have grown up.
But along the way, you gave Dad too many surprises... Dad doesn't know where you learned these things, and he's not interested in knowing. You were seriously ill before. After you recovered, you seemed to be a different person.
She has become cheerful, smarter, and knows how to share the worries of her parents.
Dad is stupid and doesn't know what to say.
But in my heart, dad was extremely happy and very proud."
"father……"
Cao Peng was a little nervous at first, but when Cao Ji finished his last words, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.
Cao Ji waved his hand, "Actually, dad has wanted to talk to you for a long time, but he never found the chance.
Dad is a useless person all his life. To use your mother's words, he has been a coward all his life... But dad really loves this family and hopes that he can let you, your sister and your mother live a good life without worries about food and clothing.
.It’s just that dad’s not good enough, so...
In the past, dad placed all his hopes on you, hoping that you could surpass dad.
Seeing you grow up and become sensible... Dad should be very happy. But for some reason, Dad is a little scared in his heart."
"Fear?"
Cao Ji nodded and put his arm around Cao Peng's thin shoulders.
"Dad is really scared... Just like your Uncle Wang said, you will be the one to do big things in the future! But doing big things often does not end well. Dad is afraid that you will be alone and bear too much pressure. You and those
Big shots are different. Dad failed to give you a good background... Ah Fu, what dad means is that you have a long road ahead. Don't just walk around. Take a rest when you are tired... Dad can't help you with anything, but dad can
I promise that I will never let you be bullied. In fact, your mother and your sister all think so..."
Cao Ji's words were confusing and confusing.
But Cao Peng could hear the concern from the bottom of his heart in his father's words.
In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his previous life.
When he was in the most difficult time, his gray-haired father hugged him like this and told him: Son, no matter what you do, dad will support you!
My nose is a little sore and my heart is a little blocked.
In my last life, I traveled all the way without stopping and truly cared about my family.
The mistakes I made in my previous life will never happen again in this life. Cao Peng couldn't help but reach out and hug his father tightly just like he did in his previous life.
Dad, I will never try to be a hero again in this life!
Dad, in this life, I will never let you worry about me again...
Jiyang, county government.
Kuai was standing under the eaves, looking at the blooming red plum in the corner of the courtyard.
The old housekeeper stood behind him without saying a word.
After a long time, Kuai Zheng turned around and asked softly: "How is the situation over there in Deng Village?"
"When I returned to the young master, there was nothing happening in Deng Village... Deng Yan returned to the village in the afternoon, and then sent someone to visit Deng Ji's home.
Young Master, how are you going to handle this matter?"
"Wait, wait and see."
Kuai Zheng said with a smile: "Let's not rush to deal with it first, let's take a look at the situation.
Tomorrow morning, you send someone home and tell Kuai Wei...that a relative of his family has offended Pang Yuanan's student. Let Kuai Wei go find out about Cao Peng's background."
The old housekeeper was startled, "Young Master is suspicious..."
“I can’t say I’m suspicious, but it’s better to be on the safe side in this matter.
Cao Peng's carriage is definitely not fake. And he also mentioned Sima Decao, which shows that he has indeed met Pang Yuanan. As for whether he is Pang Yuanan's disciple, it is not easy to draw a conclusion yet. I guess, even if he is not Pang Yuanan
My disciple, Mr. Yuan An also has a good impression of him... Let Kuai Wei test it out, it will only be good for me, not bad.
If Cao Peng is really Mr. Yuan'an's disciple, my family will definitely value me. And Kuai Wei, haha...
If Cao Peng is not Mr. Yuan'an's disciple, and Mr. Yuan'an doesn't respond, then if I let Deng Cai go, my family won't be able to cause trouble for me. When the time comes, Kuai Wei will definitely ask me to speak out for him.
Bad temper... As long as Cao Peng is in Jiyang, it will be easy for me to deal with him. When the time comes, Kuai Wei will also accept my favor. This year, the clan will worship our ancestors, and he will not make things difficult for me like usual."
The old housekeeper suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
"Young master, you are really smart."
He thought for a moment and whispered: "Then Ma Yu..."
"Let's lock it down for now. It won't take long before there will be news from Xiangyang.
Let him be more honest inside, which can be regarded as teaching him a lesson. Even if we let him go in the end, we must let him understand who is the master of Jiyang."
