"You, you're back?"
When the woman saw Tian Er's face clearly, her eyes instantly turned red.
She then gently patted the boy in front of her.
"He's your dad, you little bastard!"
Hearing this, Tian Ligong's eyes lit up.
"father!"
He immediately put on a smile and threw himself into Tian Er's arms.
Tian Er immediately picked up the little guy and spun around excitedly.
The father and son had a very pleasant conversation.
After a while, Tian Er held his son on his knees and asked him.
"Why don't you read and write?" Tian Er asked.
"Reading and writing are too boring. I don't want to do that. I want to learn martial arts and become a hero like my dad."
Tian Ligong said this, raising his little fist excitedly.
"Haha, do you want to be a general?" Tian Er smiled and touched the little guy's head.
"General, what is that?" the little guy asked with sparkling eyes.
"A great general is someone who can lead a large group of heroes to defend the country." Tian Er explained with a smile.
"Wow, I want to be a general!" Tian Ligong's face was full of anticipation.
"But... if you want to become a great hero, you have to be able to read and understand the art of war. But, our little hero doesn't like to study, so what should we do?"
Tian Er said this with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Dad, I will study. I will study hard with the teacher tomorrow!"
Tian Ligong's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, but when he thought about becoming a great general, he immediately made up his mind.
"Good, you are really my good son!" Tian Er rubbed the little guy's head lovingly, raised his head, and looked at his wife with gentle eyes.
"Xiaoyan, follow me. Thank you for your hard work."
"You taught Ligong very well."
"It's just that he's so young. It must be very expensive to hire a teacher to teach him."
"These are all gifts from the emperor this time. Keep them all. Later, buy some nice clothes and make some jewelry. Hehe, you are so beautiful. You will look even better if you dress up."
Tian Er smiled and handed the reward to his wife.
"I'm already old, what's there for me to clean up?"
Hearing her husband say this, Xiaoyan blushed in embarrassment, but her heart was sweet.
"Don't worry, we are a good family, and we didn't hire the teacher."
"I heard that the current emperor wants to promote compulsory education, and every village has arranged a teacher to teach for free."
"All the houses in the village, big and small, are regularly repaired and inspected by the county magistrate in accordance with the order from above."
"Also, there's a special group of people who take care of the elderly in the village who don't have children or whose children died young. I heard it's called a nursing home."
"In short, life is getting better and better now."
Xiaoyan smiled, her face full of happiness.
Tian Er just listened to her quietly, with a happy and contented look on his face.
…
At the same time, Wang Wu also hurried home.
When he rushed back to the village, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the brand new village.
He was horrified, but his old mother was seriously ill and he was always worried about her.
He carried his things and ran home quickly.
"Mom, mom, I'm back!"
Wang Wu happily pushed the door open, but saw nothing.
"Mother? Mother!"
Wang Wu's expression changed drastically in an instant, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Is... Is the Wang family kid back?"
A neighbor passing by the door heard the noise and couldn't help but speak.
"Aunt Zhang, my mother, she, my mother, she, has already..."
Wang Wu forced himself to suppress the emotions that were about to collapse.
"No, no, you misunderstood. Your mother is fine. She was just taken away."
"It seems to be a place called... a nursing home."
"I went to see Aunt Zhang a few days ago, and she looked much better."
ah?
Upon hearing this, Wang Wu immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, thanked Aunt Zhang, and hurried to the nearest nursing home.
When Wang Wu arrived, he found that the environment in the nursing home was quiet. Many old men and women were drinking tea and chatting, and some were doing boxing and exercising.
"mother!"
Wang Wu immediately saw his mother drinking tea and chatting with several old ladies.
He shouted and ran over quickly.
"Hey, look, this is my son."
When Wang Wu Niang heard the familiar voice, she quickly turned around and looked at Wang Wu with surprise. Then she turned around and happily showed off to her old sisters.
"Look, this is my son. Isn't he a handsome man?"
"Sister Li, the niece you just mentioned, let's make an appointment to let these two children meet each other."
Wang Wuniang said happily.
"Mom, what are you talking about? You look so happy."
Wang Wu walked up to his mother and said with a smile on his face.
Wang Wu saw that his mother looked much better, and he finally felt relieved.
"We are discussing your lifelong event."
Wang Wuniang said with a smile.
The ladies all looked at Wang Wu, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Mom, how are you?" Wang Wu asked.
"Don't worry, Mom's health has improved a lot. Since we moved into this nursing home, the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital has been coming to treat us every month. We don't have to cook our own meals anymore."
"We just take care of ourselves, play chess, tend flowers, and chat. Life is so comfortable, hahahaha..."
Wang Wuniang said sincerely.
