The white flour that I had been reluctant to eat all winter was taken out from the bottom of the vat and baked into fragrant pancakes. The juicy green onions, steaming hot tea, and several meat and vegetable dishes all looked very delicious.
All the side dishes are placed on the Kang table.
Ms. Yang sat on the kang, drank the last sip of the concoction, put the bowl on the edge of the kang, looked at Ding Hao across from her and devoured the food she had cooked, and said with a smile: "Hao'er, is the food delicious?"
"Yeah!" Ding Hao took a bite of the flatbread and said vaguely while eating the food: "It's delicious. To be honest, going out with the eldest lady this time is hard and tiring, but when it comes to food,
The eldest lady has not treated us badly. As long as we are not in the barren mountains and remote mountains, we will definitely have enough fish and meat. But it is really strange. When I am at home, I am usually greedy for meat, but now there is so much fish and meat every day, how can I eat it?
It doesn’t taste good either, but I just like my mother’s cooking.”
"Haha, cough...you kid has learned to be sweet now."
Mr. Yang gently rubbed his heart and said with a smile: "You kid is really promising. I heard the people who came back to report about the things you did. Everyone said that you have made such a big difference this time."
For your merits, I will definitely give you a big job."
The more Ms. Yang talked, the happier she became. She sat up, crossed her legs, smiled and sighed, and said leisurely: "My Hao'er has become more successful. When you become a big boss, your monthly payment will be more. My mother has moved her mouth over the years."
If I have a lot of money, I will save some for you, um... Once I get the letter, I will ask you, Aunt Li, to help find a suitable family."
"Mother." After hearing this, Ding Hao put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Mother, Hao'er has some plans. I originally wanted to talk to you in detail later. Since mother mentioned it, Hao'er wants to discuss it with you."
"What's the matter?" Yang asked.
Ding Hao said calmly: "Mom, I want to leave the Ding family."
"Ah?" Mrs. Yang was startled, and almost accidentally knocked down the medicine bowl on the edge of the kang, and said quickly: "You want to leave the Ding family, leave the Ding family... where are you... going?"
Ding Hao smiled calmly: "The world is so big, where can't I go? Originally, I was worried, but this time I went out and experienced it, and I have gained confidence. If I don't mention anything else, if I go to Linqing County to find a small town
"Officials, if you go to Guangyuan, you won't have to worry about having no way out. Guangyuan Defense Envoy Cheng Shixiong, Mr. Cheng, can also borrow strength."
Yang didn't know what kind of official the defense envoy was, but she knew that the Ding family's large fortune was only acquired by working for Cheng Shixiong. It would be every mother's dream for her son to have a big future, but after all, a son would have a lifetime.
How could she let go of him if he had never left her before?
After pondering for a long time, she said softly: "Son, you are determined to go out and have a career, and mother doesn't want to stop you, but... now that you have made such great achievements, I will definitely use you in high regard, and then start over with someone else.
Is it appropriate to start with this? You are not young anymore. Mom still hopes that you will get married and have children as soon as possible. You will have a grandson to hold. Now that you leave..."
"Mom, if my son is leaving, he will naturally take you with him. How could he leave his mother here?"
When Yang heard this, she became panicked and said hurriedly: "Son, that's impossible. My mother signed a contract of sale with the Ding family. She is a member of the Ding family in life and a ghost of the Ding family in death. How can she just leave?
Walk."
Ding Hao smiled and said: "Well, let my son figure it out, mother doesn't have to worry..."
He took out a tightly wrapped bag from his arms and handed it to Yang. Yang opened it and looked at the colorful paper in a daze: "Son, what is this?"
"This is a bank note, a total of five hundred and seventy taels, which can be exchanged for more than five hundred guan. Mom, keep it. Let's cure my mother's illness first. As for the future, if we have money to support us, we won't be homeless. .”
Yang asked in surprise: "Hao'er, you...where did you get so much money?"
"Mom, don't worry, I won't steal or rob. This is because I'm doing things for the Ding family, to smoothen the relationship with General Cheng's mansion, and the savings from purchasing gifts and rewards will be clean."
Yang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "Hao'er, mother is old and not in good health. If I travel with you to other places, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. Isn't that going to drag you down? Besides, this In my whole life, I have never thought about leaving the Ding family. If you let me go, I will panic. Haoer, is it better to be anywhere else than the Ding family village? Our mother and son have lived here all our lives, and now we have so much money. , that would be even better, you can build a house on the village and be the steward of the Ding family, be decent, marry a wife and have children, what better than not?"
"Mom, no matter how good the Ding family is, they still belong to the Ding family. Although I, Ding Hao, and the Ding family cannot write two characters in one stroke, we are not from the same family."
Yang was silent, and Ding Hao said again: "Mom, going out to work is indeed risky, and you will definitely suffer a lot. It is indeed not as comfortable as here, but no matter what, as long as you find a career, no matter how big or small it is, , they are all ours. No matter how we serve in the Ding family, is it still just making wedding clothes for others?"
Yang said solemnly: "You kid, my mother doesn't understand your thoughts at all. Being the steward of the Ding family is so dignified, so many people can't even hope for it. Why do you end up being dependent on someone else? You see, Manager Yan is in charge, and Manager Liu is in charge of them. Who has not purchased his own family property and lived a comfortable and dignified life?"
"Respectable?" Ding Hao laughed: "Is it decent to look at people with high eyebrows and low eyesight in the Ding family? Even if the Ding family lives up to me in this life, with rich clothes and fine food, and a worry-free life, my son will be like Yan Jiu at most. , In front of others, you are a master, and in front of the Ding family, you are a grandson. If people treat you as a human being, you are a human being. If you don’t treat you as a human being, then you are not even as good as a dog. Mom, I don’t want to live under someone else’s roof for the rest of my life!"
Yang couldn't defeat him, she was panic-stricken, her tone already had a hint of pleading: "How can...how can it be so unbearable? Your child is too angry. Hao'er, mother is here After living all my life, this is my mother’s home. When I get old, my mother doesn’t want to leave anymore. She really doesn’t want to leave. Can’t we really stay..."
Seeing her in such trouble, Ding Hao felt a slight movement in his heart: "Is she an old lady who loves her family, or is she a former slave who loves her master, or is she still unable to let go of the hypocritical Ding Tingxun? I need to understand her thoughts so that I can prescribe the right medicine."
Then she softened her expression and said with a smile: "Mom, you don't have to worry. This matter is not urgent for a while. You can think about it carefully later. Now your body is not in good condition and you cannot bear to travel long distances. Let's find a good doctor first and give you You should take care of yourself, and we can make plans after the disease is cured."
Ding Hao took a long trip and realized why some old farmers never left their homes within a radius of ten miles. The traffic at this time was really bad. Even if he was relatively strong, riding a big car for a whole day would be bumpy. Almost all the bones in her body were falling apart. For a weak woman like Yang who was suffering from serious illness to keep running, she was afraid that she would die before reaching Guangyuan. The ancients often said that they were not accustomed to the climate. The main reason was that she became sick due to exhaustion and died as a guest. foreign land.
Now that his mother couldn't turn this corner, Ding Hao put the matter aside for the time being, thinking about going back and slowly doing her work. After all, Yang's heart was towards herself. As long as she figured out the reason, she was still afraid of her.
Don't you want to leave with yourself?
Seeing that her son no longer persisted, Yang felt greatly relieved and quickly agreed. She thought to herself: When her son is older and has seen the colorful world outside, his heart has become wild. How easy is it to conquer the world with bare hands? Abandoning the Lord
As a servant, I tried to find someone to work as a servant, but no one was willing to use it. At that time, the master already had
Even though I have endured so much suffering, suffered so much, managed everything, laughed and promised, all my hard work may be wasted by one mistake. This child's thinking is really too simple. I have to take care of Aunt Li as soon as possible.
Tell your son about his family relationship, and once he has a satisfactory wife, he will be able to tie Haoer's heart.
