Chapter 69 I Can’t Hold On and Go Back
Seeing Xu Feng take the book, Zhao Liangchen said to Su Qin, "Miss Suqing, the teacher has something else for me to tell you. Is it convenient for you?"
Su Qin knew that he had something to say, so she invited him into her tent.
Zhao Liangchen didn't waste any time entering the tent. He simply told Su Qin the reason for doing this today and why King Liang wanted to go to Chanzhou in person.
In fact, Su Qin also guessed what King Liang's purpose was. King Liang's original purpose was destroyed by them, and King Liang could only find another way to get the fame he wanted.
She said to Zhao Liangchen: "It's not enough for you to just do this."
Zhao Liangchen immediately asked: "What other ideas do you have?"
Su Qin leaned closer and whispered, "If you do this..."
Zhao Liangchen agreed after hearing this: "Okay, the emperor will probably summon me when I go back today, and I will do as you say then."
After saying everything he needed to say, Zhao Liangchen left.
When Xu Chunshan and his wife came back and saw the books, they were extremely excited. Xu Chunshan thanked Su Qin again and again.
Compared to Xu Chunshan's excitement, Xu Feng was much calmer. It wasn't that he was not grateful to Su Qin, but he knew that his body could not hold on for much longer.
The victims will start their journey back home in a few days. His family has no money to buy a donkey cart or an ox cart, so they can only walk back on foot. With his current health condition, it is difficult for him to even stand. If he really walks back, he will probably die on the road in a few days.
Mrs. Xu was observant and noticed that Xu Feng was in a bad mood. She asked with concern: "Feng'er, aren't you happy that you have books to read?"
Xu Feng shook his head: "No, my son is happy, but..."
He looked up at his family and said, "But I'm afraid my son won't be able to make it home."
He thought for a long time and decided to tell the truth to his family. He had to let them be mentally prepared. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would really die on the way and his family would not be able to bear it.
His words made the whole family's faces change. Xu Chunshan scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xu Feng: "Dad, it's true. I know my own body. It's such a long journey, I will not go back."
Xu Chunshan's face turned pale: "Don't talk nonsense, Dad will carry you on his back, and he will definitely carry you home."
Xu Feng shook his head: "It's useless. Let alone carrying him on his back, I'm afraid my son wouldn't be able to handle the bumpy ride in the car."
These words made Mrs. Xu burst into tears: "My son..."
Xu Yunguo also cried very sadly.
Xu Chunshan threw the book in his hand to the ground in frustration: "Without you, why would I study?"
Xu Feng picked up the books from the ground, dusted them off, and advised, "Father, with these books, you can get into high school even without a son. Getting a high score has always been your dream. Don't give up."
Xu Chunshan squatted on the ground, holding his head and crying out loud: "I studied to change my family status and bring honor to my ancestors. Now that you are gone and I am extinct, what is the point of fame and fortune?"
Xu Feng's heart ached as well. He forced himself to say, "You and mother are still young. You will have sons in the future. Your family line will not be extinct."
"Stop talking, stop talking. I won't have any more children. You are my only son. It has been like this before and it will be like this in the future."
Mrs. Xu could no longer hold back and hugged Xu Feng and cried bitterly. The whole family cried together.
Su Qin heard crying next door, but the Xu family spoke in low voices and she couldn't hear clearly, so she thought they were crying because they were excited about having a book and didn't pay much attention to it.
She opened the bundle Zhao Liangchen had given her. Most of the things inside were food, including hot buns, braised meat, pastries, and osmanthus candy. The bundle was stuffed full with all kinds of food. If the bundle was big enough, Zhao Liangchen could have stuffed more in.
There were two boxes in the bundle. Su Qin opened them curiously and opened her mouth in surprise when she saw what was inside. There was a ginseng, a Ganoderma lucidum, and some deer antlers, but Su Qin didn't recognize them.
She had seen ginseng before, as it was included in the gift sent back by Mrs. Su. However, she had never seen Ganoderma lucidum before, but she recognized it. She picked it up and looked at it curiously, wondering why Zhao Liangchen gave her such a precious medicinal herb since she didn't need to replenish her body.
I was just a little thin because of hunger in the first two months. There's nothing wrong with my body. I can make up for it by eating full meals for a few days. There's no need to eat such nutritious food, right?
Someone who needs to be nourished? She suddenly thought of Xu Feng. Xu Feng was born prematurely, and his mother was born with congenital deficiencies. Mrs. Xu was injured at that time and her milk supply was insufficient, so Xu Feng was never well taken care of. Later, Xu Chunshan's studies were also expensive, and his family was poor. There was no good tonic for him to nourish his body, so his health deteriorated day by day.
These ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and deer antler are just right for Xu Feng's health. Mr. Zeng knew that Xu Feng was in poor health, so he sent the books. These supplements should be sent by him to Xu Feng to replenish his body.
She wanted to send these supplements to the Xu family and listen carefully, but when she heard they were still crying, she did not disturb them, but went to find Wang Er first.
Wang Er has been a little busy recently, and Grand Tutor Yan gave him the emperor's reward, fifty taels of silver and a commendation order.
Fifty taels of silver was a huge fortune for Wang Er. He had never seen so much silver in his life.
Xu Chunshan told him that the imperial court should return to Chanzhou and distribute disaster relief funds based on household registration.
He was the only one left in his family, and he could only get a few taels of disaster relief silver if he returned to Chanzhou. Although he could go back to his hometown to build a house, marry a wife and live a simple life with the fifty taels of silver, Wang Er did not want to do that. Although he had never been to the city during his escape, he had seen the prosperity outside and gained more knowledge. He wanted to stay here and work hard to earn a different future for himself.
So he has been busy looking for work these days.
But because he was a refugee and had no formal permit or identity, he could only go to nearby towns to find work. However, even the better towns nearby did not want to hire refugees like him, and those who were willing to hire him only did the hard, tiring and dangerous jobs that the locals were unwilling to do.
This was not what Wang Er wanted to do. If he wanted to do these things, he might as well go back to his hometown and farm. Therefore, he searched for several days but couldn't find a suitable job.
When Su Qin went to find him, he had just come back from outside. He was wearing a coarse cloth shirt of the same color as Su Qin's, except that his was a short shirt and Su Qin's was a long shirt. He asked Zou Tai to buy the cloth and hired Madam Xu to sew it for him.
He felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Su Qin: "Miss Su...Su Qing, are you looking for me?"
Su Qin smiled and said, "I have something to ask you. Come to my tent."
Wang Er hurriedly shook his head: "This, this is not good."
Ever since he knew that Su Qin was a girl, he had been keeping his distance from her. He no longer dared to joke with her casually, let alone get too close to her.
Su Qin leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice, "We have hot buns and braised pork. Do you want some? If not, I'll give them to someone else."
When Wang Er heard that there were buns and meat to eat, his mouth couldn't help but flow down. He immediately ignored the distinction between men and women and nodded vigorously: "Eat."
Su Qin smiled: "Let's go."
Wang Er followed Su Qin into her tent and was stunned by the sight of so much food: "Why are there so many delicious foods?"
Su Qin handed him a large meat bun and a piece of braised pork, saying, "This is what my grandfather asked a military officer in the Imperial Guard to bring me. Eat it while it's hot."
Wang Er wiped his hands hurriedly on his body, and couldn't wait to take the meat and the bun and stuffed them into his mouth.
After finishing the meal, he smacked his lips, still unsatisfied: "It's delicious! This is different in Shangjing City. The buns are even better than ours."
Su Qin handed him another bun, but Wang Er waved his hand to refuse: "Just eat one to taste it. This is given to you by Mr. Zeng. Eat it quickly."
Although he is greedy, he is not the kind of person who is insatiable.
Su Qin didn't take her hand back, but held it out again: "There are still many, you can eat them. The Xiang army has arrived one after another, and I'm afraid they will leave in the next few days. Grandpa said that he will come to pick me up then. Then I will have endless meat buns to eat. You don't have to be polite to me."
