Chapter 3 Old Jack: Tang Hao? Too fragile! Collect firewood. This is the same thing Zhou Qing and Tang San are going to do! If I were to explain the reason... Both Zhou Qing and Tang San have received favors from Old Jack. It is reasonable and emotional for us to be grateful. In the past, Tang San was obsessed with practicing martial arts, and relying on his young age, he accepted Old Jack's help and said "thank you" twice, which was considered as accepting it with peace of mind. But during the two years of getting along with Zhou Qing, seeing that Zhou Qing would deliver firewood to Old Jack every day and was grateful, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Later, he joined in. Under Zhou Qing's "personal example", Tang San took more and more practical actions to express his gratitude to Old Jack. Comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics and labor... It's impossible.
But I also have a better understanding of the concepts of right and wrong. And as the time of communication with Old Jack increased, Tang San spoke more and more. He no longer had a gloomy face all the time and became much more cheerful. Some elders in the village no longer insisted that their children must avoid Tang San. Of course, Tang San still couldn't play with them. "That's thoughtful, ahem." After receiving the firewood, old Jack was all smiles, but due to his old age, he coughed twice, but his brows became more kind. Although there was not much firewood and it was only enough to cook two meals, Old Jack usually ate little, and over the past two years, the firewood had accumulated to a considerable amount. "You are all good and sensible children." When saying this, a trace of heartache appeared in Old Jack's eyes, especially towards Tang San, he sighed deeply. Although Zhou Qing is an orphan, he doesn't need to worry too much since he grew up to understand things. His parents also left him a house and land. In addition, with his help, they rent out the land and get a 50-50 share of the grain every season, plus ten silver soul coins, so he has no worries in the future. And Tang San—— Old Jack could only lament that he had such a father. Old Jack didn't know what Tang Hao had experienced before coming to the Holy Soul Village, but based on the other party's identity as a blacksmith, he could probably guess that he had offended a noble or a soul master. The helplessness of civilians! It was for this reason that Old Jack was willing to let Tang Hao and Tang San join the village - since Tang Hao was able to escape alive, in Old Jack's opinion, the nobles and spirit masters would not want to "care too much" about him, which meant that he would not bring too much trouble to the village. In the eyes of the common people, if a commoner can survive after offending a soul master or a noble, it can only be because the big shots are willing to let him go. But I didn’t expect that Tang Hao would never recover! After all, he has a son named Tang San, right? In Old Jack's eyes, Tang Hao was inferior to the villagers in every way except for his blacksmithing skills. There are also three single-parent families in Shenghun Village. The children in the families have either lost their fathers or their mothers. In some families, all the elders have died. But the surviving adults will be sad for a few days at least and a month at most. They still have to live their lives. After all, no matter how hard or tiring the life is, they cannot let the children suffer. But what about Tang Hao? I have been in Holy Soul Village for four years! Still immersed in the pain of the past...
So fragile! Therefore, Old Jack did not dissuade other people in the village from saying bad things about Tang Hao behind his back. After all, Tang Hao was just too outrageous. Moreover, Old Jack also hoped that these words would reach Tang Hao's ears, so that he would learn from his mistakes and become more courageous. With his physique, it would be easy for him to find a manual labor job in the city. As for the need to repair farm tools and kitchen utensils in the village... It's not like it needs to be repaired every day, and the conditions in Shenghun Village are much better than those in other villages. There are more than just one set of kitchen utensils and farm tools, so we can wait until the New Year to send them over together. But Tang Hao seemed to be oblivious to the gossip in the village, and just drank and slept. He even asked Tang San to buy wine from the people in the village who knew how to make wine. It was simply bizarre! Old Jack also saw Tang San, a sensible child since childhood, and knew his filial piety, but he was usually silent... Old Jack knew without thinking that it was definitely Tang Hao's fault! Unfortunately, Tang San is Tang Hao's son after all, so Old Jack can't say too much or interfere too much. And now. Old Jack was not too worried about Tang San, as he originally thought that Tang San would have the same personality as his father in the future, until - Zhou Qing found Tang San, approached Tang San, and embraced Tang San, which changed Tang San's life! Tang San smiled more and became more lively. He will definitely become a kind and upright normal person in the future! [In the future, Tang San will definitely be much more promising than that fragile bastard Tang Hao! ] but. Old Jack didn't say anything, whether it was ridicule to Tang Hao or encouragement to Tang San. After all, he understood that Tang San didn't like to hear these words. "Grandpa Jack, let's go then." After leaving the firewood, Zhou Qing waved goodbye. "Goodbye Grandpa Jack!" Tang San also waved. "Be careful on the road!" Old Jack warned. "Ok!" X2 The two nodded in unison, and then walked towards Zhou Qing's home together. "I really envy you." Although he had been to Zhou Qing's house several times, Tang San still couldn't help but envy the tidy courtyard and clean house. "How about coming to live at my house?" Zhou Qing showed a mysterious smile: (*￣︶￣), "My house is quite big." Tang San opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He only felt that Zhou Qing looked at him a little strangely, but then he shook his head: "Forget it." Zhou Qing also understood, did not force it, and took Tang San to his room - Of course not to do anything boring!
He walked to the window and pulled the rope on the right side that was connected to the ceiling above his head. creak! A square piece of wood from the ceiling was taken down and the telescopic ladder connected to it was hung down. Zhou Qing’s house has two floors! Originally, the second floor had been empty, and the staircase was not a retractable type, but the type where a hole was opened in the board and an extra ladder was required. Within two years after Zhou Qing met Tang San, he spent twenty bronze soul coins and asked Tang San to take the blueprint of the telescopic ladder he designed to Tang Hao and ask him to help build such a ladder. As for the telescopic ladder, Tang San was actually quite surprised when he saw the drawing - it was already amazing that a three-year-old child could think of such a thing. It was Zhou Qing's "cleverness" that attracted Tang San. At that time, Tang San had already planned in his heart to accept Zhou Qing into the Tang Sect in the future. After all, he wanted to strengthen the Tang Sect in this world, and he couldn't do it alone. Zhou Qing, who had been "playing" with him since childhood, knew him inside out and was absolutely at ease. Ah! When it comes to the word "play", both Zhou Qing and Tang San silently added a double quotation mark to it... (End of this chapter)
