The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Huo Jun, "Wow! So many! Bro, where did you catch these fish?"

It's snowing so heavily outside and the ice is more than one meter thick. How did his brother do it?

Huo Sheng was stunned for a moment, "It's quite far."

It’s better not to tell him. With his ordinary cotton jacket and cotton pants, he will be frozen solid after a while when fishing.

If there is any danger, he cannot take the responsibility.

Huo Jun was unwilling to give up. "Brother, can you take me there?"

Doesn’t that man want to catch fish?

Huo Sheng, "You just recovered from your cold, but you caught a cold and it came back again! Don't you still want to practice martial arts? Let's practice boxing these few days. I have to go back in a few days."

Huo Jun reluctantly agreed with his brother's suggestion. He would first learn boxing, which was also what he had been thinking about.

As for the place to catch fish, it must be nearby. If you have time, you can walk a little further and you will definitely find it. Even if I recover from the illness, I have to go to work every day. I don't know when I will have time.

Huo Jun felt a little regretful.

Huo Siying and Huo Siyan were very happy. They looked at the big basin of fish with bright eyes and smiled happily from ear to ear.

Su Xiaorou was also very happy, "It has to be our Huo Sheng. He is different after having served in the army. We have lived here for a year and didn't know where to catch fish, but Huo Sheng caught one as soon as he came."

Huo Zhengping liked to hear this, "Yes, Huo Sheng has been able to do it since he was young. When he was in the army, he always got first place in everything!"

Huo Zhengping felt proud when he thought of his son's past.

"Huo Sheng, you just came back. Haven't you eaten yet? Siying, you two sisters should go stew some fish for your brother. Eat something hot to warm him up."

Su Xiaorou, "Yes, Huo Sheng must be starving, right? Siying, cook some cornmeal and some pickled cabbage, it will cook quickly. The fish is frozen, how long will it take to stew it? Siying, pick out a few big ones and save them for stewing tomorrow night.

Huo Sheng, you just came back just in time for this and that, and we haven't been able to have a family reunion dinner. Why don't you come back tomorrow night and have dinner together?"

Huo Siying obediently took the basin to the kitchen and prepared to cook.

Huo Sheng, "Siying, don't bother me. I'll be back after dinner. Auntie, you guys eat the fish. It's not convenient for me to come back."

Huo Zhengping, "We'll have dinner later tomorrow and wait for you."

Huo Sheng, "It will be too late when I come back, and you still have to work during the day. Let's eat together later when it's convenient. It's the same."

It was completely dark when he came back. If he ate fish in the dark and got a fish bone stuck in his throat, he would be in big trouble.

It was indeed inconvenient for Huo Zhengping to remain silent.

Huo Sheng didn't stay long. He made an appointment to teach his younger brothers and sisters to practice martial arts early the next morning, and then went back to find Qi Feifei.

Qi Feifei had already decorated the snow cave to look like someone was living there. Huo Sheng went into the snow cave and waited for Qi Feifei to see him. It was not as cold as the previous times.

Qi Feifei knew he was coming back, so she naturally kept an eye on the outside. As soon as he came back, she took him in.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Huo Sheng went out to teach his younger brothers and sisters martial arts.

After he arrived for a while, the brother and sister came. They were very happy and there was no sign of estrangement between them. After all, they were siblings, and the unhappiness of that day was over.

Moreover, Huo Jun was obviously wearing a leather vest under his cotton jacket.

Huo Jun saw Huo Sheng looking at him and scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I said I didn't want to wear it, but my mother made me wear it before I went out, saying that she was worried that I would not be able to stand the cold after I had just recovered from an illness. This waistcoat is indeed warm. Thank you, brother."

Huo Siyan curled her lips and said, "Mom is just partial."

Huo Jun felt even more embarrassed. "When I go hunting, I will definitely make you a new set of clothes."

Huo Siyan, "No need, I can fight myself in the future."

As Huo Siyan spoke, she took out a lunch box from her arms, which contained two large pancakes.

"Brother, here you go."

Huo Sheng took it and said, "You two can't go up the mountain easily. It's too dangerous. I'll send it to you when I get it back."

Huo Siyan pulled Huo Sheng's arm and said, "Thank you, brother. You are the best."

Huo Sheng felt a little uncomfortable and broke away from her hand, "Let's hurry up and practice martial arts."

Then he said to Huo Jun, "Why don't you practice the same thing as Siyan? That way it will be easier to teach and faster. If you really want to practice military boxing later, Dad can teach you."

Mainly because I don’t have much time to teach them.

Huo Jun had no objection. He had seen Siyan practicing at home these days and thought it was pretty good.

In the next few days, Huo Sheng taught the brother and sister martial arts every morning, and spent the rest of the time back in the courtyard reading and working.

Qi Feifei also stayed in the courtyard every day, either practicing martial arts or reading. Now that Bai Zhi is here, he can ask him if he doesn't understand something. Many of the doubts he had before can be answered, and he is making rapid progress.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and Qi Feifei prepared an island weighing about four kilograms for Huo Sheng.

"We have to go back, I have some things to take care of in Toudaogou.

You can take this to your father. We will leave tomorrow."

Huo Sheng clasped his hands together, rubbed them together, and hesitated to speak, "Um, well..."

Qi Feifei looked at him and smiled, "What's wrong? Is there anything you are embarrassed to tell me?"

Huo Sheng, "Fish will not taste good without oil, can you give me some more..."

Qi Feifei glared at him, "That's all? Is it that serious? You're still being so coy with us."

Qi Feifei went to the kitchen and filled a can of mixed oil.

"It's more fragrant if you put lard in it. You can send it over."

It’s not that Qi Feifei was reluctant to give more. For one thing, she felt that one should have a limit when giving things. Also, she was somewhat unhappy about letting Huo Sheng come out to sleep in the snow cave.

Regardless of whether Huo Sheng has a place to live or how he can overcome the wild environment, it is unacceptable for his parents not to let their son, who has come from afar, live at home.

But she would not say anything more. Huo Sheng and the Huo family were close relatives. Everything was up to him. But it was impossible for Qi Feifei to open her heart to him.

In the evening, Huo Sheng carried the things and happily delivered them to his father.

This time when he came out, Huo Zhengping sent him out.

Huo Sheng, "Dad, Auntie asked you to wear that waistcoat, so just wear it. I'll send it to you later if I get it."

Huo Zhengping, "Dad is fine, you don't have to worry about these things at home. But you, wandering around like this all the time, is not a good idea. Do you have any plans?"

He has no home or job, and no one who understands him.

Huo Sheng, "I want to go find my mother."

After hearing this, Huo Zhengping stopped, looked at his son, and continued walking forward for a long distance.

"Sigh, are you sure you can get out?"

Just go! There is nothing here, maybe you can fight for the world outside.

Huo Sheng, "I have a way, don't worry."

Huo Zhengping, "You may not be able to find her even if you go out. When she left, she told your grandmother that she was going to Hong Kong, but there has been no news since then. We don't know where she went in the end.

Many people who left the country went to Taiwan and the United States.”

Huo Sheng, "It doesn't matter whether I can find it or not, my main purpose is to go out and try my luck."

As a man, I always want to make a career.

Huo Zhengping patted Huo Sheng on the shoulder and said, "A good man should have great ambitions. Take care of yourself!"

Fathers nowadays have no money and no power, and can do nothing to help their children.
