Chapter 16 The Little Trial (1)
The journey home was extremely light and Chen Zairong was the most happy. He praised Chen Wanrong from time to time, occasionally drew his sword out of the sheath, and played a few sword flowers. Not much time, the two brothers returned home in a hurry.
From a distance, I saw Chen Laoshi and his wife standing under the eaves waving at them. Chen Wanrong's nose felt sore and immediately remembered the scene of returning home in another time and space. Whenever he came home, his parents would come to greet him from afar, and would wave at him from afar, and his joy would be expressed in words.
A warm current flowed in Chen Wanrong's heart, and he couldn't help but speed up and rush over. However, Chen Wanrong did not run faster than Chen Zairong. Chen Zairong exerted force, and the sixty or seventy pounds of things had no effect on his shoulders. He rushed over like wind, hugged Chen Wang's neck, and said mischievously: "Mom, we are back."
"This child is so old and hasn't grown up yet, and he is still so crazy." Chen Wang was angrily, and the smile on his face had already betrayed her and said to Chen Wanrong: "Wanrong, we're back."
Chen Zairong shouted affectionately: "Dad, mom, I'm back."
Chen Hushi rubbed his hands and kept saying, "Good to come back, okay to come back."
"Hurry up, go to the stove to simmer, the fire will be ready for you." Chen Wang took Chen Zairong's hand and urged: "Zairong, put down the things quickly. Wouldn't you be tired of carrying them on your back? What are the things, so many?"
Chen Zairong shook his shoulders, shook his waist, and said proudly: "Mom, you must not guess."
"May guess, I won't see it?" Before Chen Zairong could put down his back basket, he flipped it up inside his back: "Fish, meat, ribs, and wine. So much? How much does it cost?"
For the Abnormal Poverty Family, it is indeed a pleasure to have so much food all at once. Chen Laoshi was very happy: "Wanrong, you have a promising future, you have a promising future. Knowing the Gu family, you have bought so many delicious foods all at once. Tonight, we have to drink it."
Chen Wangshi gave him a blank look and said with a little disdain: "Just your alcohol tolerance, do you want to compete with Wanrong?"
Thinking of the fact that he had been drunk last night with Chen Wanrong and was drunk like a mud, Chen Zhen's confidence immediately disappeared, and he said stubbornly: "Who wants to gamble on wine? Just drink it well."
This is a poor family. The hardships and unsatisfactions in the world, there are troubles, conflicts, and quarrels, but there is no lack of warmth and affection. They can always be cared for when warmth is needed. Chen Wang's words of maintenance made Chen Wanrong feel warm, as if he had returned to his home in another time and space.
Chen Zairong put down his back basket, and Chen Wanrong would help him. If Chen Zhenshi had been optimistic in the past, now it is different. The capable Chen Wanrong cannot take action and support him first: "Wanrong, you have been on the road for most of the day and are tired. Go and simmer and don't let the cold."
Chen Wanrong felt warm in his care and love: "Thank you, dad."
"Thank you so much, I'm all from home." Chen Laoshi said loudly and didn't need to thank him. His red smile revealed his endless joyful mentality.
Chen Wanrong's polite behavior not only won Chen Laoshi's favor, but even Chen Wangshi was extremely happy. He knocked on Chen Zairong's shoulder: "Zairong, look at your brother, how polite. Your brother has never read a book and is more etiquette than you. It's not like you are crazy. When people are crazy, you have to learn more from your brother." If she knew that Chen Wanrong had read much more books than Chen Zairong in another time and space, she would definitely not say this.
In the past, she always said that Chen Wanrong wanted to learn cleverness from Chen Zairong, and move it one after another, like a lump of wood. It was the first time that it was like today.
Chen Zairong twisted his neck and said mischievously: "Mom, don't you know how capable I am. Do you see? This is my sword, a good sword. In a few days, I will have a better sword than this. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have a good sword."
Zhang Deming promised to build a better sword for him. Chen Zairong loved swords and always thought about it. This was the result of Chen Wanrong's guidance on Zhang Deming to make steel. How could Chen Zairong not praise Chen Wanrong?
Chen Laoshi then noticed that Chen Zairong had a sword hanging around his waist. Not only was he not happy, but his face darkened, and he was very displeased: "Zairong, have you gone to Master Zhang to get the sword again? They are open to business and want to support a family. What should you do if you have nothing to do? Hurry up and return it to Master Zhang. You are the same. You are not too young and don't stop Zairong from taking Master Zhang's things. How do you think of this brother?" The last sentence was about Chen Wanrong, and he has a very strong temper.
Chen Wangshi also looked dark and scolded: "Za Rong, you love Jian Niang, you know that after a while, you will plant it. Mom will help others wash some clothes and earn some money before buying it for you. You should return this sword to Master Zhang first, listen to my mother, ah. Wanrong, you are the same, you are a brother, don't care."
An ordinary sword costs hundreds of cigarettes. For example, the sword on Chen Zairong's waist costs a few stakes. If a greedy person is definitely so happy that he can't even close his mouth. Chen Zhen is poor and has a good moral character and does not want to take other people's things for no reason.
It is exactly the same saying: Be poor and have ambition!
Chen Wang has always defended Chen Wanrong, and even she was scolding her and was so angry, which shows the weight of this matter in her mind. After hearing this, Chen Wanrong not only did not feel wronged, but was also quite happy. It is a great blessing in life to have such ethical and ambitious parents!
"Dad, mom, sit down and listen to me tell you that this is not what you imagined." Chen Wanrong said very sincerely.
The sincerity in the words was revealed, Chen Laoshi sat down as he spoke, and his face tense: "You have to make it clear to me."
"Dad, mom, don't worry, I will explain it clearly to you." Chen Zairong took the conversation and told him about it. Especially when Chen Wanrong pointed out Zhang Deming, he even said in detail. The two elders kept saying, "Wanrong is so capable? He even understands steelmaking! It sounds quite reasonable."
Looking at Chen Wanrong carefully, his mouth became wider and wider, and it was almost cracked to his ears. The couple laughed so hard that their mouths could not be closed. They were full of glory, as if they were twenty years younger.
Chen Wangshi looked at Chen Wanrong in surprise and asked, "Wanrong, how long have you learned how to make steel?"
In her mind, Chen Wanrong had never read a book and could not read a big word. Suddenly, she would make steel and make no mistakes. As soon as she reminded her, Chen Laoshi became suspicious and looked at Chen Wanrong: "Wanrong, you have to tell the truth."
It is impossible to tell the truth, otherwise they will be sad. Chen Wanrong had to choose to deceive him in kind: "Dad, mom, I met a steelmaker some time ago, and he said it to me."
First, Chen Zairong taught martial arts by strangers, and later, Chen Wanrong met a master and taught the art of steelmaking. Chen Laoshi and his wife thought it was reasonable, so they no longer pursued it.
"Wash your hands, I'll go and serve you food. Leave the food in the pot for you." Chen Wangshi stood up and was about to enter the stove. The poor family had no money for going out on the street, so they could only go home to eat hungry. Therefore, Chen Wangshi's special gift left them with food.
Chen Zairong rushed to say, "Mom, we have eaten it. I got the sword and was happy. I wanted my brother to treat me. We ate mutton soaked cakes." He was afraid that Chen Zhongshi would scold Chen Wanrong and took the responsibility on himself.
Before Chen Wanrong could clarify, Chen Wang scolded him: "You child, you don't blush when you lie. You are the flesh falling from your mother, and you still don't know your little bit of intestines." After scolding, he was very happy for Chen Zairong's brotherly feelings to protect Chen Wanrong. Who is the mother who doesn't want to see the harmony of his children and respect each other? He also joined the ranks of defending Chen Wanrong: "Old man, Wanrong earns money himself, and doesn't use the money from his family, don't scold him."
Chen Houshi has been thrifty for decades and knows that it is difficult to make money. It is inevitable to complain about Chen Wanrong with a heartache. Chen Wangshi looked at Chen Houshi with great concern.
However, Chen's honest reaction never expected. He glared at Chen Wangshi: "What are you saying? It seems that I am very scrupulous? Wan Rong is so big that he can do it. He is so capable that he can do it himself. Not to mention eating a bowl of mutton soaked cakes, he can just cut a pound of white meat, two hooves, and two taels of wine. That is his ability."
Not only was it strange, but he was quite praised. Chen Wang never expected that he looked at him gently, smiled continuously, and felt relieved.
Chen Zairong felt relieved and climbed on Chen Laoshi's shoulder mischievously: "Dad, you are so good."
Even if Chen is honest and feels sorry for money, he will not be able to scold Chen Wanrong for that little money. On the contrary, he has to say some comforting words. This is his parents. Chen Wanrong feels kind. It is not in vain to have such a father to protect himself everywhere: "Dad, thank you."
"Wanrong, you did it right! You are good at your body, and it is more important than anything else. Don't be hungry." Chen Zhongshi straightened his chest and thanked Chen Wanrong very much: "Wanrong, my mother and I discussed that you need a stove for making hot alkali. I built a stove outside. Let's see if it's suitable. If it's not suitable, I will build it for you."
Under the current conditions, there is no other way to separate except for using a pot to cook. Chen Laoshi even thought of this and did a lot of preparations. Chen Wanrong was grateful. He followed Chen Laoshi outside the house and saw a new stove, which was of moderate size and very suitable for use. There were some firewood embers in the stove, which were to burn the stove dry for easy use.
"Very good. Thank you dad, thank you mom." Chen Wanrong was very grateful to the support of the old couple. The support of his family is more important than anything else and can warm people's hearts. Chen Wanrong's heart is warm.
Chen Hushi rubbed his hands: "Wanrong, what should I do? You tell me, we will help you."
"Yes, Wanrong, tell me." Chen Wangshi replied: "We don't understand chemical engineering, we all listen to you."
Chen Zairong rolled up his sleeves and took a lot of money: "Brother, I'll leave the strength to work."
