Chapter 156 Become an Eagle and Fly Back
The boys at home want to go out and gain some experience.
Upon hearing the news, the Su family fell into silence.
The elders of the Su family sat in the main room, silent for a long time.
Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu stood in the middle of the main hall, not daring to move, but their eyes were full of yearning for the outside world.
Old Man Su saw it, and he looked at his wife and finally said, "Old woman, what do you think?"
Old Lady Su's lips trembled, she still hadn't recovered from her shock.
Because I never thought that one day the boys in the family would leave home.
Where to go? They are exiles, and this is where they will stay until they die.
Now that she suddenly told the boys they could go out, she was naturally happy.
But the children go out to gain experience. They have no idea what kind of things they might encounter or what kind of dangers they might run into. How can they feel at ease when they are at home?
Mr. Huo said that it was up to them to decide whether to go or not.
If you go, you will gain experience and knowledge as well as danger.
If you don't go, you will stay with stability and mediocrity.
Old Man Su noticed his wife's hesitation and worry, and sighed, "We're ordinary farmers. Males in our family start taking charge when they're twelve or thirteen, get married when they're fourteen or fifteen, and have children when they're seventeen or eighteen. The three boys are over ten years old this year, and they'll be able to take charge in two or three years. It's better not to go. We can stay in Tubei Village, farm peacefully, and live a peaceful and stable life. That's a blessing."
Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu pursed their lips, and the light in their eyes dimmed.
Old Lady Su looked at them, gnashing her teeth and cursing, "What's with all those expressions? If you're so determined to run away, then go ahead! Don't cry and yell about coming back when you're in danger!"
"Grandma?!" The three boys' eyes lit up again and they shouted in surprise.
"Why are you shouting? I can't control you anymore, but that doesn't mean you can go. Ask your parents whether you can go or not!" Old Mrs. Su turned around and hid the red corners of her eyes.
Su Da and Su Er were squatting outside under the eaves, while Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang were also squatting beside their husbands.
Of course they heard the conversation in the room, and the two women had tears in their eyes.
Hearing cautious footsteps approaching, Liu Yuelan wiped her tears and nudged Su Da with her elbow, "His father?"
Su Da turned around and beckoned the three boys to squat over with him. After a moment's silence, he said, "For these years, you've been either at Mr. Huo's house across the street or at the old drug ward next door, learning skills and knowledge. We, your parents, can't keep up with you. You brats, you're much luckier than us. It's a good thing to have abilities and ambitions. Go ahead if you want to. When you were exiled, you were only three or four years old. At most, you've only seen the snow-capped mountains of Dahuai Village... Now you have an opportunity like this to go out and explore. At least you can understand how big the world is."
Su Er usually talks a lot, but at this moment he was very silent. He only said to his wife, "Daxiang, go pack the bags for those two brats."
He Daxiang wiped her tears and asked, "Do we really want to let them go?"
"The three boys have grown up. We can teach them to walk, but we can't help them walk, right?"
They are farmers and don’t understand the big principles, but they also know that they have to let go so that the eaglets can learn how to fly.
Parents want their children to be successful. Ultimately, they don’t want their children to be like them, nor do they want their children to be like them, spending their whole lives growing vegetables and farming.
It is a great blessing for children to have such an opportunity. They may be able to make a name for themselves. Even if not, when they come back, they will have more knowledge and experience than others.
They must not become a stumbling block to children.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t have any skills, but we can’t stop children from learning skills.
…
In the Huo family's yard, Mrs. Huo sat on a big chair, holding her belly and occasionally looking towards Xiao Su's house.
"Dad, there's no movement over there. Could it be that Su Bo and the others have fainted from anger?"
Huo Ziheng sat on a low stool, took the woman's legs and feet, rubbed her swollen ankles, and said with a gentle smile, "She must be packing for the children."
"How do you know those guys can definitely go? The world outside is full of cunning people, but it's not as safe as our village."
"When our daughter grows up, there's a place thousands of miles away where she can broaden her horizons and abilities. Will you let her go?"
"Of course, I'll personally escort my daughter over!"
"That's it."
This is true for all parents who love their children.
I would rather endure worries and longings than let go and let the young eagle fly high.
The kindness of parents is as heavy as a mountain.
If you want to repay a favor, become an eagle and fly back!
…
Du Buqin had no time to take care of the affairs of the two families. The old man was fully focused on coaxing the child.
In the pharmacy, Du Buqin was standing by the medicine stove, saying earnestly, "Tianbao, Grandpa Du was wrong! I shouldn't have left you alone to fight, I was really wrong! Be good... put down these medicine bottles, they are all precious and valuable, don't waste them, baby!"
The few precious medicinal herbs he had collected, hidden in a mouse hole, were dug out by the kids.
Tianbao held the medicine bottle tightly, his little face was dark, and the words "I am very angry" were written on his face.
"I won't go alone next time, I promise! I swear to God! Otherwise, this old man will lose all his hair!" Isn't that a cruel oath?
"I'm mad at myself."
“…”What is this for?
"You're young, and you don't believe me."
"No..." I believe it! I don't disbelieve it!
"You secretly went to fight with so many people without me. If you died, I wouldn't know who to seek revenge on."
"I..." That doesn't necessarily mean I'll die.
Can you hope that grandpa will do something good, son?
"I was so wrong, baby!" Du Buqin cried out, "Grandpa Du will definitely take you there next time!"
"Okay." Tianbao stretched out her hand and let the old man hold her, "Let's go to Changjing."
Du Buqin put the baby he had just picked up back into the medicine stove and said, "Baby, why don't you sit in here for a while?"
Tianbao, “…”
The little girl sat by the medicine stove with her hands folded for a quarter of an hour, staring at the old man with her dark eyes.
The old man walked left and right beside the medicine stove, looking up at the roof, but he didn't dare to look at the boy.
There was a knock on the courtyard door, and Huo Ziheng's gentle voice came, "Du Lao, it's time to set off to Pier 12."
"Hey, you're finally here!" Du Buqin immediately rushed out of the door and rushed towards Huo Ziheng, as if he had seen a savior, "Yes, yes, yes, the old man almost delayed things. I have to go to Pier 12 to find Big Beard to take a boat, hehe, hehe..."
Huo Ziheng looked at the old man in front of him who was laughing dryly, raised his eyebrows, then looked at the little kid who came out of the pharmacy and was standing on the eaves with his hands on his hips and black air all over his body, and he understood.
"Let's go, the three boys from the Su family are waiting for you." He suppressed his laughter and moved his body to the side, revealing the entire Su family behind him.
The three boys each had a package.
Old Man Su still had two in his hand and placed them in the old man's hand, "Old Du, I'll ask you to take good care of the children along the way. And these two packages were packed by Xiu'er. They contain spare clothes for you and Tianbao, as well as some common medicines."
Du Buqin's hands trembled, "You let Tianbao go with me?"
Old Man Su glanced at his wife as she came up, and said with a smile, "You two go together."
Tianbao is indifferent to outsiders, but very loyal to her own people. Lord Duan Dao has something to do, and if Tianbao is not allowed to help, she will only make things difficult for herself.
It would be better to let them go together, so that the family would feel more at ease.
"If Tianbao leaves with us, there will be no one guarding Tubei Mountain!" Du Bui was extremely surprised. Is this possible?
The Su family looked at each other again and laughed, "Mr. Huo said that Tubei Mountain is not what it used to be. Even if we open the gate, I'm not sure if many people would have the courage to come and cause trouble."
"..." The old man looked at the open-minded smiling faces in front of him. After a moment, his triangular eyes narrowed, and he turned and rushed back to the yard to pick up the still angry child. "Tianbao, let's go! Take Grandpa Du to fight the sky!"
Everyone, "Puff!"
