Rebirth: The Life of a Scholar

Although he stayed up late, Tang Xu got up early the next day. It snowed heavily again in the middle of the night last night. When he got up in the morning, the snow outside was even thicker. Walking on it, the snow could bury his ankles. Tang Xu wanted to help. Housework, so put on rain boots to facilitate walking back and forth.

Tang Xu was very busy feeding the chickens and ducks and fertilizing the vegetables in the yard. When he was free, the yard was already full of his footprints.

Mother Tang asked Tang Xu to hurry over to eat after cooking breakfast. Originally, the Tang family did not have the habit of eating breakfast, but after Tang Xu went out for half a year and accidentally told his parents on the phone, Mother Tang took it to heart. The child is growing up. It's always good to eat something, and the child has really worked hard in the past six months.

After the family had breakfast, the sun also rose. Tang Xu helped Tang's father out of the bedroom to bask in the sun.

After Tang's father sat down, he pulled Tang Xu to talk to him, but Tang Xu didn't refuse. He sat next to him on half a small bench and chatted with him. When Tang's mother came out from work, she saw the father and son chatting in the yard. Zheng Huan couldn't help but smile with a sour nose, turned around and went to the kitchen to get some pears with rock sugar: "Drink it while it's hot."

This time Tang's mother didn't refuse and drank some herself. The family sat in the sun and drank a bowl of rock sugar pears happily.

There are not many relatives in Tang Xu's family, and there are even less contacts, so the Tang family is very quiet every year during the New Year, but this year is destined to be not easy.

At noon, my uncle brought his son to Tang Xu's house to pay New Year's greetings. Although Tang's mother was very angry at their unfeeling in the past, she couldn't drive people out after the New Year's Eve, so she could only go to the kitchen to cook quietly.

"What are you doing?" Tang's father was so cold that he couldn't put on a welcoming look.

"Of course I'm here to pay New Year's greetings. My brother is in better health this year. Hey, when did Xiao Xu come back?" Uncle put down the New Year's greetings wine and sat on the bench where Tang Xu had just sat. Tang Xu stood aside and yelled obediently. Uncle, although he hasn't seen this uncle once in a few years, but every time the impression is very bad, so bad that he can't forget it.

"So cute, come on, this is your nephew, one year younger than you, and he will take the high school entrance examination next year, haha." The uncle pulled the reluctant child to him: "You still don't call him uncle?"

The boy curled his lips and looked straight at Tang Xu without saying a word: "Uncle."

Tang Xu nodded lightly. From his uncle's words, he probably understood what they were here for today.

Although Tang's father is physically weak, but the younger brother who grew up with him doesn't know what's going on in his mind?Think about how they treated their father Tang in those years, angry at him for his incompetence and his brother's ruthlessness.

"Xiao Xu, you see that you have been admitted to Dehui in City B. You are so smart. Let's see if you can support our family?" Uncle smiled and directly changed the topic to the main point.

It is said that reaching out does not hit people with smiling faces. Tang Xu can't say bad things like his uncle, but he doesn't want to follow them: "Uncle, I'm just a student and I can't help you." If they weren't so good before, Tang Xu wouldn't Would mind teaching him this nephew.

"Look at what you said, you study so well, even if you teach casually, even if you can't get into a high school like Dehui, you can at least get into No. [-] and No. [-] middle schools, right?" Uncle Tang Xu didn't expect Tang Xu to refuse without hesitation, embarrassed He smiled and didn't give up, and kept raising Tang Xu.

"Uncle, you said that I am too good. I just studied hard to pass the exam. If my nephew wants to pass the exam, why don't you enroll in a cram school and read more books. I really don't know how to teach people." Tang Xu chuckled He said he was helpless.

Tang's father naturally didn't want his child to be entangled in such troublesome things after working so hard, so he didn't give his younger brother a chance to speak: "If it's for this matter, you can take your wine and leave, our family can't stand it." From you such a generous gift."

"Brother, you are really, I am discussing with Xiaoxu, why are you so anxious, Xiaoxu, I also know that it is not easy for you to study, so why not do this, you take this money to buy some medicine for your father, and later I will help with anything." As the uncle said, he took out an envelope from his pocket, which was a little thick.

Tang Xu frowned. Tang Xu hadn't forgotten that he had accepted the mayor's money under a group of cameras. Their family couldn't evade the money under the circumstances at that time, and their uncle's money would never be accepted by their family.

"My son can't even tell you what it means!? My son doesn't need your money! Get out of here!!" Father Tang trembled with anger when he saw the money. It was because of the money, because of his Sick, my wife took their children to ask them to borrow money, but they were full of nonsense and refused to lend them a dime, wishing that he would die early and occupy his land, what's the point of sending money now?No matter how poor their family is, they will never forget that time.

"Brother, I'm not for your son, but for you. We haven't been able to help you for so many years, and now we have some money and we can help as much as we can, so don't be stubborn. "

"Now that I have something to do, I think I'm your brother? How did you curse me back then!? Hurry up and get out before I hit someone!!"

Tang's father was too excited and gasped after shouting. He leaned weakly on the chair and held Tang Xu's hand tightly. Tang Xu quickly patted his chest: "Dad, stop talking, it's okay." Wan Wan looked up at his uncle, with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Uncle, my dad's body can no longer be angry at all, and I told you clearly that I can't teach you, please bring your money and Let's go back to the wine."

The eviction order has been issued, and his uncle's expression immediately turned cold when he heard this. He felt that he was simply thankless just now. If it weren't for his precious son's academic performance, he would not have thought of coming to Tang Xu, and Tang Xu could pass the exam. Why didn't Dehui's son even pass the high school entrance examination?Just when he was already on the verge of irritability, the son next to him suddenly said: "If you don't teach, don't teach, I don't want to learn from you yet!"

Although the uncle didn't agree with his son's words, he broke the jar. Anyway, Tang Xu would definitely not teach his son, and he didn't need to be so polite: "You just keep being so lofty, and you don't even want to give you money. In the future I won't lend you a dime! Your father's illness can't be cured at all, so don't worry about it!"

"You...you...is this what people say!!" Father Tang trembled even more than before.

When Tang's mother came out of the kitchen, she saw Tang's father panting anxiously, his face turned pale, and she rushed forward in fright: "What are you doing! The child's father is okay! What's wrong!!"

Seeing his father suffering so much but being helpless, Tang Xu looked up at the father and son who were still standing there and became even more angry. He picked up the wine he brought and stuffed it into his arms, and pushed them outside without saying a word: "Don't come here again!"

"Tang Xu looks so ugly! I'm your uncle!" Uncle was pushed out the door and found that people next door who heard the movement were all looking at them. Many people in this area knew about the Tang family. When Xiao appeared here, he probably guessed what was going on, and began to mutter in a hurry.

"The trouble was so fierce at the beginning and you haven't contacted me for a few years. What are you doing now?"

"I guess Tang Xu is jealous now after passing the exam!"

"It's good to be jealous. Is that his son? It doesn't look like an honest child at first glance."

"Come on, how can a child with acrimonious parents be educated? At the beginning, they said they were going to tear down Tang Xu's house."

"It's really a crime, don't you know that Feng Shui takes turns?"

"See what good fruits they have in the future, people still need to have a conscience."

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Tang Xu made a sneer at the so-called uncle: "Uncle? I can't stand your uncle. Since you know how ugly, then don't come here again." After finishing speaking, he closed the yard with a snap The world finally became quiet. Tang Xu hurriedly carried Tang's father into the bedroom with Tang's mother and let him lie down. Then he served tea and medicine to comfort him. Tang's father's breath gradually calmed down, and he didn't seem so uncomfortable. Both Tang Xu and Tang's mother heaved a sigh of relief. This New Year's Eve couldn't just be sent to the hospital.

"Scared you? I'm fine, I just got angry just now." Father Tang weakly comforted the mother and son beside the bed.

"Dad, don't be angry anymore, it's not worth it for them." Tang Xu looked at his father's pale expression sadly and patted the back of his hand.

"Why are you so angry? If I had known, I would have kicked them out, and I wouldn't let them in again next time!" Tang's mother's eyes were red, but fortunately Tang Xu was at home today, otherwise she should have been a woman. How to drive people out.

"Oh, they will suffer retribution sooner or later!" Tang's father coughed a few more times after he finished speaking, and Tang Xu helped him to calm down and echoed lightly: "Well, so don't be angry, and sleep for a while after lunch. When I woke up, nothing happened.”

"You kid, you treat your father like a child!"

"Hey, Dad, your body is the most important thing, so stop thinking about it."

"Oh, I feel very tired too. I'll go to bed first, and call me after dinner."

"Get some rest, I'll wake you up when the meal is ready."

After Tang's father fell asleep, Tang Xu and Tang's mother walked out of the room gently. Tang Xu rolled up his sleeves to help Tang's mother with chores. Tang's mother obviously had a serious concern and kept talking to Tang Xu. Tang Xu listened carefully and enlightened Tang's mother. The mother and son talked a lot, but mother Tang would not tell Tang Xu everything about some things. At the beginning, she didn't want Tang Xu to get involved in the matter of adults, and it would become a grievance between two generations, but what happened today made people It was really chilling and angry, except that Tang's mother, who would suffer retribution, couldn't say much vicious words.

Tang Xu looked at Tang's mother's back and squeezed his palms silently. He wanted to quickly take his parents to the urban area. Although the ambient air there was not as good as Yunfei's, at least no one disturbed him. Tang Xu could also take care of his father every day to share the burden. Mother Tang's pressure.

Once Tang Xu thought about it this way, he felt impatient. He needed a breakthrough after setting his New Year's goal.
