Chapter 526 The chaotic days are back
Near noon.
In the Huo family yard.
Bai Yu moved a basket of books and several cans of top-quality tea into the Huo family's main hall.
Finally, he took out a small bag of melon seeds from his sleeve pocket and handed it respectfully to Madam Huo.
"Master, Master's Wife, I am here to apologize to you."
The Huo family did not farm.
While the villagers were busy working in the fields, Mr. Huo would brew a pot of tea in the house, sip the tea and listen to their laughter, which was his daily pleasure.
At this time, the charcoal fire was burning in the red clay stove on the tea table, and the master and Mrs. Huo were sitting beside it.
Bai Yu bent down and handed over the things, but Madam Huo didn't take them. "I dare not accept your things. We are not that close. Move all those books and tea away. Sui'er's father and I are old, and we don't want to see you angry anymore."
Bai Yu pursed his lips, placed the melon seeds on the tea table, lifted his skirt, and knelt down, saying softly, "When I became your disciple, I knelt outside the door for three days. It was your mistress who relented and brought me in, making me your last disciple. In Bai Yu's heart, your mistress will always be your mistress, and my respect for you is no less than my respect for Master."
Hearing him talk about the past, Madam Huo's eyes flushed slightly. She lowered her eyes and snorted coldly, "You've always been a sharp talker. If you remember my kindness, don't come to my yard anymore. I can't control other things, but I still have the final say in my family. Now you've come to apologize, but why did you get angry with your master back then, ignoring his advice and insisting on having your own way? Bai Yu, you're actually very arrogant and never take others seriously. If Tianbao hadn't returned, your master and I might have waited all year for you to kneel down!"
"No." Bai Yu raised his head, his face calm, his eyes deep and serious, without the casualness he usually displayed. "No matter who was in the accident that day, I will take revenge. But Tianbao is the most important to me. Master's wife, it's not that I don't want to listen to Master, but at that time, I was almost crazy."
There is no rationality at all.
Mrs. Huo's eyes trembled, her eyes became redder, and she turned her face away.
Huo Ziheng was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Ah Xian, it's almost noon. Go and light the fire first, and I'll cook later."
Knowing that the man wanted to talk to the unfilial man alone, Mrs. Huo stood up and left the hall without saying a word.
After the woman left, Huo Ziheng turned around and looked at the young man kneeling in front of the tea table.
He is as handsome as a beautiful jade, with a figure like a bamboo. He looks clean and refreshing in white clothes, and looks harmless to humans and animals.
But those eyes were so dark that even he, as his master, couldn't tell what he was thinking at a glance.
I've grown up after all.
Huo Ziheng smiled bitterly silently.
Since ancient times, adversity and pain have been the easiest ways to drive people to grow.
He had hoped that his children would grow up to be eagles, and they did just as he wished.
In two years, each of them became a capable person on their own.
But Bai Yu is different from other children.
He is not an ordinary eagle, he has become the most ferocious golden eagle in the Gobi Desert and can eat wolves.
There was a bubbling sound coming from the teapot on the red clay stove, and the tea was boiling.
Huo Ziheng withdrew his gaze, wrapped the handle of the scalding teapot with a cloth, lifted the teapot down, opened the lid, and the aroma of tea filled the air.
"Now that Tianbao is back, it's time for you to regain your sanity." He spoke softly, "Tianbao has always been a thoughtful child, saying little and doing more. She may seem indifferent and cold, but in reality, she has a pure nature, acts with principles and bottom lines, and values affection above all else. Yu'er, since you don't have ambitions for the world, don't bring chaos to it. If Tianbao knew the methods you used for her, she would never be happy."
Bai Yu's eyelashes trembled, he pursed his lips without saying a word, then took over the master's hands, rinsing the teacup and brewing tea.
Huo Ziheng let him go and continued, "Find a chance to coax your godfather. Why is it that every time you go out to sea in the past two years, he always happens to be there? He's worried that you'll jump into the sea like you did when Tianbao first disappeared. We're no less sad and miserable about Tianbao's matter than you are, but you've indeed hurt a lot of people's hearts in the past two years."
“Master—”
"Okay, stop kneeling and get up. Neither I nor your godfather has ever been truly angry with you. It's just that we love you so much that we criticize you harshly."
The man reached out his hand, crossed the tea table, and touched the young man's head, patting him lightly.
Just like when the disciples were too naughty and noisy when they were young, the teacher was helpless but couldn't bear to punish them, so he always rubbed the disciples' heads or patted them as a punishment.
The teacher has a calm temperament and is reserved in his emotions, but this simple action always allows children to feel the tolerance and generosity hidden behind him.
Mrs. Huo made a point of watching the unfilial man leave before returning to the main hall. After sitting down, she took the small bag on the tea table without any hesitation, opened it, and started to crack melon seeds. "You're leaving already? We just talked a few words? You've pissed him off again, haven't you? I used to think Tianbao was stubborn and the hardest to teach. Oh, I was wrong. This is the hardest to teach. If he were in the bandit camp I used to live in, he would have been a top troublemaker!"
Huo Ziheng, "..."
There was a constant clicking sound in my ears.
He looked at the melon seed shells that had covered the ground in a flash, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled, "Didn't you say you didn't dare to take it? Did you eat it?"
"Well, it would be a waste if I don't eat it! How much does such a small bag cost? I'm not that easy to bribe. I just happened to have run out of sunflower seeds at home, and I'm craving it!"
Huo Ziheng chuckled and poured her a cup of tea. "Drink a cup of tea after dinner to cool down your body. I'll ask Xiaofeng to bring you some more later. But, my lady..."
"What?"
"You've got a missing tooth."
“…”
A moment later, Mrs. Huo's roar could be heard from the distant courtyard of the Huo family, "Huo! Zi! Heng!"
Beneath the roar, the man was forced to give a low, shallow laugh in an attempt to seek harmony.
Tianbao and Du Laotou almost immediately flew onto the roof, squatted down and watched the fun while eating pears.
The rice in the village has been harvested. Now every household is drying and threshing the rice, and dust is flying everywhere.
The father and son had nothing to do, so they were particularly interested in watching the fun.
"Bao, your master actually married a Hedong Lion! Think about it, do you have any memory of that loud voice? That roar?
"No." Tian Bao smacked his lips and praised the pear in his hand again, "It's delicious."
"Is sweet potato flavor good too? Grandpa will make you chili flavor tomorrow! Hehehe!"
The old man shook his shoulders and laughed strangely. The pears he took out had their skins smeared with detoxifying cream. He could make detoxifying creams of any flavor, and he guaranteed that the flavor would be different every day.
Another figure flew up from under the eaves. On such a large roof, instead of going anywhere else, they squeezed in beside the two of them, "Grandpa Du, Tianbao can't eat spicy food."
Tian Bao frowned, "Du Grandpa, we'll eat spicy food tomorrow!"
There is nothing that Su Tianbao cannot do and nothing that she cannot eat.
The corners of Bai Yu's mouth twitched, and he held his forehead, forgetting for a moment that Tianbao hated being told that she was not good enough.
"Hey? Did you hear that noise? Do you feel something strange under your feet?" The old man suddenly spoke, looking down. "Hey, hey, hey, is the roof going to collapse? What's going on? Bai Yu, you little bastard, get down here quickly! You don't look fat, but you must be hiding all that fat in your belly!"
The roof beams beneath my feet made a very slight crackling sound, as if they could not bear the weight and would collapse at any time.
Tianbao immediately put the pear in his mouth, turned around and looked around to find the culprit, and kicked Bai Yu and Wang Bai Shiying, who had been squatting behind them for some reason, off the roof with three kicks in an instant.
The clicking sound disappeared.
Tianbao wiped his face and exhaled a breath of foul air. That was a close call!
The roof is really about to collapse. From now on, her grandparents will definitely not let her and Du Grandpa squat there anymore.
The elders of the Su family who ran out after hearing the noise looked at the three people lying in the yard, and then looked at the old man and Tianbao who were on the eaves with a look of relief on their faces.
“…”
Here it comes.
The days of chaos are back.
