Chapter 147 - Warm words

Xiang Chen Xi frowned as he listened, he understood the cause and effect. After Tao Chu Liang finished speaking, he hurriedly asked, "If you are worried about the economic aspects, I can help you."

"How can that be?"

Tao Chu Liang was a little shaken, and said that he was not moved was a lie. He had not known her for long, which meant that they had only interacted a little during their half a month of stay in the small mountain village. Tao Chu Liang thought that he was not his person, but now that he heard that she was in trouble, he did not hesitate to offer his help.

"It doesn't matter."

That time, when he looked at Tao Chu Liang's back, he felt that it was very familiar, and it gave him a fright. He thought that something had happened to Tao Chu Liang, so he came to the hospital to treat him.

"That won't do. You have no reason to help me, but thank you anyway."

Tao Chu Liang shook his head, she could not accept Xiang Chen Xi's suggestion, this matter had nothing to do with Xiang Chen Xi, so she could not involve Xiang Chen Xi in the battle.

"Who says it doesn't matter, I can help you with your matters. Moreover, helping this poor family is just to gain some good fortune for the company I am about to start."

Xiang Chen Xi did not give Tao Chu Liang any chance to reject him, and actually took out the Pigment Company that he was about to start, if he refused, then he would refute Xiang Chen Xi's words.

Tao Chu Liang was so embarrassed that he did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, after thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that since Xiang Chen Xi had already said so, then rejecting him would be too unruly. Furthermore, she would not be able to take out that much money to pay for Hu Zi's father's medical fees.

He prayed silently in his heart that the company Xiang Chen Xi was about to start would be smooth sailing and a bumper harvest, that the stocks would continue to rise, and then nod and agree to Xiang Chen Xi's request.

"Oh right, why are you here?"

Tao Chu Liang asked suspiciously. Logically speaking, he should not have met Xiang Chen Xi in the hospital, how did he coincidentally meet him?

"I brought some of my own naturally processed pigments here for identification. There is a Chinese Medical Department here."

Xiang Chen Xi pointed to the sign in the distance, Tao Chu Liang looked there, there really was a Chinese Medical department, but Tao Chu Liang thought it was strange, the Chinese Medical Department in the hospital can even be used for identification?

Although he thought this, Tao Chu Liang still did not ask. Tao Chu Liang felt that it was about time for him to leave, if he returned any later, Hu Zi and the class monitor would definitely be worried.

"Are you going to the village tomorrow?"

"Then I'll wait for you!"

Just a few simple sentences caused Tao Chu Liang's heart to feel warm. Watching Xiang Chen Xi's figure disappear into the crowd, Tao Chu Liang turned around and returned to his room.

Inside the room, Hu Zi and the class monitor were sitting obediently to one side. It was dinner time and most of the people had already gone out to eat. The small room just now had suddenly become spacious and bright.

The children were also in the house, Hu Zi's father looked at Tao Chu Liang and became excited.

Teacher Lu, don't listen to my mother's nonsense. Just let Hu Zi go to class, I have never read a book, so I know the importance of studying. Hu Zi's mother only has short hair and experience, Teacher Lu has a large number of adults, don't bother with her.

Hu Zi who was at the side, listened to what his father had said to Tao Chu Liang, and his eyes started to turn red again. He choked with emotions and said, "Father, I'm not reading, I want to take care of you, I want to earn money to support my family."

Tao Chu Liang never thought that Hu Zi's father would have such an attitude, but this attitude was simply too good for Tao Chu Liang. Originally, she thought that if he could get rid of Hu Zi's father's medical expenses, she would have to persuade his parents to allow him to return to school. He never thought that Hu Zi's father would raise both hands in support of Hu Zi's return to school, which would save her a lot of time.

"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting all day? Your mother is ignorant, do you also not understand? "If you don't study, you won't even be able to find a wife. If you don't, you won't even be able to find a wife in the future."

Tao Chu Liang was a little embarrassed, he did not expect Hu Zi's father to educate him in such a way, but Tao Chu Liang thought that Hu Zi's father was right, after all, Hu Zi's father was the one who spoke the truth. In this society that was in sync with the times, without money, education, or rights, you had nothing, and no one would be able to see through you.

"I'm not looking for a wife."

Hu Zi was a bit anxious, but he was only in the second grade and did not understand what his wife meant. He refuted his father's words, as he did not want to see his mother cry on his back again.

He was a man. He had to help his mother carry the burden of the family!

"Uncle, don't get so excited. I will persuade Hu Zi's mother to let him return to school. You should rest assured and recover from your injuries."

Seeing that the father and son pair both had red eyes and a thick neck, Tao Chu Liang comforted Hu Zi's father to the point that he was not as agitated as before.

Tao Chu Liang tried to persuade Hu Zi again.

Tao Chu Liang did not stay any longer. She brought the child to bid farewell to Hu Zi's family and then sat on the bus back to the little village.

Before he left, Hu Zi held Tao Chu Liang's hand and cried his heart out. In fact, he really wanted to return to class and learn new knowledge with his classmates.

The children became much quieter, and Tao Chu Liang was conflicted. However, when he suddenly thought of the things that Xiang Chen Xi said in the hospital, the invisible burden on his body immediately lightened up.

Gradually, Tao Chu Liang fell asleep on the carriage, and the class monitor woke him up.

"Teacher Lu, we are here. It's time to get off."

Tao Chu Liang opened his eyes in a daze, and what entered his vision were those familiar mountains and the smoke that was rising from the sky.

When they brought the children to the entrance of the village, the children said to Tao Chu Liang, "Goodbye teacher," and after that, they went their separate ways, returning to their own homes to look for their mothers.

Tao Chu Liang smiled as he watched their figures flying into the distance.

Tao Chu Liang's parents had already prepared dinner. Seeing Tao Chu Liang, they only lightly rebuked him for a bit and did not say anything more.

Tao Chu Liang smiled as he agreed, saying that he would not do it the next time,'s mother pulled up the chair, allowing Tao Chu Liang to sit inside and start eating.

"Did you go to town today?" A few days ago I asked you to buy some seasonings, how could you forget that your home is almost gone. "

Tao Chu Liang's mother had lightly complained to Tao Chu Liang and told him in advance, but Tao Chu Liang had never taken it to heart.

Actually, it wasn't that Tao Chu Liang didn't care, it was just because he had been too busy in the past few days. Every time he thought of it, it would be at night, but in the end, he got busy the next day and forgot about it.

Tao Chu Liang picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat and put it in his mouth, nodding in satisfaction.

"Are you listening or not?"

Tao Chu Liang's mother was angered to death by Tao Chu Liang's actions. He remembered that they were at the dining table, eating without saying anything, and pottery mother did not say anything either. On the contrary, Tao Chu Liang felt very apologetic.

His parents were busy with farming every day, so they didn't have much time to go to the Gu household. If they hadn't seen it every time they cooked, they wouldn't have remembered it at all.

Tao Chu Liang felt a little guilty. The village was quite far from the town, other than the market day, no one else would come to the town often. Firstly, because they did not have that much time, and secondly, because of the fare from the village to the town.

After he finished eating, Tao Chu Liang washed his bowl and rinsed his mouth, then laid on his own small bed. He had already slept on the carriage a few times, and because of the heavy summer weather, Tao Chu Liang thought that he would lose sleep, but who would have thought that he would fall asleep after tossing and turning a few times.

When pottery mother came in, Tao Chu Liang was sleeping soundly. Looking at the blanket that was kicked off by Tao Chu Liang, pottery mother shook her head helplessly.

Although it was a summer night, the temperature during the middle of the night was still very cold. If one did not cover themselves with a blanket due to the heat, then they would definitely catch a cold the next day when they woke up.

pottery mother covered herself with a blanket, and without stopping, she gently led the way out.

Outside the door, the sky was filled with stars. A cool breeze blew across his body, making him feel very comfortable. The sound of cicadas chirping could be heard, and the fragrance of rice flowers mixed with the fragrance of lotus flowers drifted everywhere.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky, exuding a white moonlight. The entire small mountain village was quiet under the moonlight, and a hazy fog shrouded the small mountain village, making it look somewhat unreal. When the dawn mist dispersed, the small village returned to its original appearance.

After being crowed two or three times, Tao Chu Liang woke up. It was only six in the morning now, and there was no need to light up. Tao Chu Liang sat on his bed and thought about what he had to do today.

After an hour, Tao Chu Liang could no longer hold back the growls coming from his stomach, he got off the bed and started to cook. pottery father had already gone to work in the fields, they had to take advantage of the time when the sun was at its highest, to rest before returning to work when the sun was not too hot.

After eating, Tao Chu Liang covered the rest of the dishes, not allowing them to get cold, and placed them in the pot without lifting the lid, so that pottery father could have hot food to eat after he finished his work.

Then, Tao Chu Liang began to prepare for today's journey and the things to do, as well as some new lessons. Of course, she didn't forget that Xiang Chen Xi would come to the small mountain village today!

When pottery mother and pottery father returned, Tao Chu Liang had already tidied up the house to the point that there was not a speck of dust left on the bed, and the tools at home had also been wiped clean. Seeing Tao Chu Liang busying himself with his work, pottery mother was very pleased, and thinking about something, the smile on pottery mother's face gradually faded.

Tao Chu Liang turned his back to them, he did not realize that pottery father had understood what the pottery mother was thinking. He lightly patted her hand and shook his head to comfort her.
