Chapter 3737: Don’t forget your roots
Everyone’s personality is different, as long as Da Zhi feels that it suits him for a long time.
No one is perfect, and it’s even less lovable for someone like Yang Ruohe, the king of heaven, to greet her without even saying hello.
Therefore, Dazhi’s overly gentlemanly courtesy is still more lovable in comparison.
"Zhi'er, Mom came here to discuss something with you and wants to hear your opinion." After Yang Ruoqing sat down, she smiled gently at Dazhi.
"Mother, please tell me." Dazhi stood respectfully at the desk and slightly raised his sleeves towards Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Sit down and eat and listen at the same time. What are you doing standing up? You're tired!"
Dazhi bowed slightly, "Thank you, mother."
< br>Then, he turned behind the desk and sat down neatly, holding the cake in his hand. He did not eat it, but looked directly at Yang Ruoqing in front of him, waiting for her next words.
Yang Ruoqing was also used to Dazhi's modest and gentlemanly style, and went straight to the point: "Zhi'er, your uncle Junmo from Zuojiazhuang is here to deliver chicken cakes to you and your sister, and he also brought one News, about you.”
Dazhi straightened his back even more and listened carefully.
Yang Ruoqing continued: "Your ancestral home is over there in Yangzhou, and your biological parents are fishermen there. I remember I mentioned something to you earlier, but I don't know if you still remember it. Huh?”
Dazhi nodded, but his hand holding the cake became stronger unconsciously.
"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law from Yangzhou are here and want to meet you. Your uncle Junmo has temporarily placed them in Huguang County. Let me ask you what you mean..."
< br>“I’m missing!”
Dazhi refused without hesitation.
Yang Ruoqing hadn't finished her words yet, she looked at him in surprise when she heard this.
"Zhi'er, why don't you want to see me? I heard from them that this is also what your mother meant. Your mother wants to know if you are living well here..."
" I only have one mother, and that’s you. I don’t have an extra mother!”
Dazhi interrupted Yang Ruoqing again.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell from Dazhi's flushed face to the deformed egg cake in his hand, and then back to his face again.
"Zhi'er, why did you react so fiercely?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law over there want to come and see how you have been doing in the past seven years and what you have grown into. They are not trying to abduct you. There is no need for you to be so resistant and nervous. Right?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
“Besides, what are you talking about before?”
“I am your adoptive mother, but you also have your own biological mother!”
"If your biological mother hadn't been pregnant for ten months and gave birth to you while walking in front of the King of Hell's door, how could you be standing here reading and writing?"
"Your life was given to you by your biological mother. It was her. The one who brought you into this world, even if you want to please me as your adoptive mother, you can't say stupid things like erasing your biological mother!"
Faced with Yang Ruoqing's harsh reprimand, Dazhi panicked a little.
He hurriedly stood up and defended: "Mom, it's my son's fault, he shouldn't have said such radical words!" When my biological mother was sent away, I felt that she was a hard-hearted person and she didn’t want me to be there first.”
"If it hadn't been for you, mother, who has worked so hard for the past seven years to raise me and train me to study, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"So, giving birth to a favor is not as important as raising a favor, so I said that I only adopt my adoptive mother. You don’t recognize the words of your biological mother!”
Hearing Dazhi’s plausible defense, Yang Ruoqing had to sigh that Dazhi was also a child with a precocious mind. He is just over eight years old, and usually he can't knock anything out with three sticks. He didn't expect that these so-called principles would be so clear and eloquent when he talked about them now.
It seems that the books I have read in the past few years have really been in vain. All my talents have been used here, and I speak like an adult!
"Zhi'er, I think you misunderstood here." Yang Ruoqing took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and patiently explained to Dazhi.
“It’s not that your biological mother didn’t want you, she was forced by your family’s circumstances at the time!” she continued.
“Your father is a drunkard and wanted to sell you several times, but your mother risked her life to protect you.”
“Your father is dead, and your mother is alone. A woman's family has to drag the children of the whole family, even the big ones. Xiaoxiao, it’s too difficult to make a living on the water.”
“What’s more, they had to send your father’s body back to his hometown in Yangzhou for burial. In that case, your mother met me and my baby’s father. ,"
"I also said that we went there because we were looking for Chen'er, and at that time you and Chen'er looked very similar."
"After your mother understood the situation, maybe See how kind we are, so we took a gamble and entrusted you to us, just so that you can have enough to eat, wear warmth and clothes. , you don’t have to follow her around like other children, you don’t know what your next meal will be!”
“It’s not that your mother doesn’t love you, your mother sent you away because she loved you so much, don’t be fooled!” "The horns are sharp!"
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, a look of shame appeared on Dazhi's face.
He lowered his head and held the poor egg cake in his hand tightly with both hands. The egg cake was squeezed and the dregs fell down bit by bit and fell onto his shoes.
"Mom, I was wrong..." he whispered.
Seeing that he had softened and was no longer holding his neck as hard as before, Yang Ruoqing's tone also softened a bit.
She stood up and came to Dazhi, raising her hand to stroke his head.
"My Zhi'er is a good boy with a pure nature. He started school at the age of five and is knowledgeable in books and etiquette."
"Several of your gentlemen told my mother that you were in school. Study very hard and strive to make progress.”
"Some time ago, when your father was at home, your father discussed with me that after you take the Tongsheng Examination, he would send you to a school in the town."
"My ambition will be certain in the future. He is a good boy who is full of nylon, talented, and knowledgeable in books and etiquette."
"My parents sent you to study, and I don’t ask you to take the first prize in the exam. Yes, those things require luck. My parents only hope that studying will make you sensible, able to distinguish right from wrong, and be an upright person."
"You don't even recognize your biological mother, and you don't even want to meet your biological brothers. Understand the situation, this is unreasonable."
"The last thing a person can do is forget his roots!" She said very seriously.
Dazhi put the crumpled egg cake in his hand on the desk, stood up and pulled Yang Ruoqing's sleeves.
"Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have said those bastard words that would disown my family." He said anxiously.
"I would like to see my brother and sister-in-law. I also want to know what is going on with my biological mother and whether my other brothers and sisters are okay too!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled happily and said, "That's right. I'll talk to your uncle Jun Mo later and let him arrange a time to meet."
"By the way, the Dragon Boat Festival will be on the fifth day of May in a few days. How about we invite your brother and sister-in-law to come over and celebrate the festival together?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
She is Zhi'er's brother and sister-in-law, so she must give her this face. This is respect for Zhi'er, and it is also an affirmation of Zhi'er's status in this family!
Dazhi is a smart child, so he naturally understands Yang Ruoqing's intentions. He smiled gratefully and nodded obediently: "It's all up to my mother to make the decision."
