Boss, He’s Becoming a Father

Chapter 14: The Prodigal Son (14)

    When Shao Dabao was in a daze, he vaguely saw a figure in front of him.

    This man is a little rickety, his hands are full of calluses, and he looks like Shao Yu.

    Shao Dabao immediately grabbed the corner of Old Man Zheng's clothes as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

    Old man Zheng looked at him and couldn't bear it for a while. He carefully fed him some warm water and put a wowotou in his arms. After doing all this, he couldn't hold back. With a sigh, he said, "You are also a poor man."

    Shao Dabao was burning in a daze, only when he saw Shao Yu, he immediately muttered: "Don't go..."

    "I can only help you so much." Old Man Zheng said helplessly, Shao Dabao's illness is unknown now, and those officials don't care at all.

    "Dad, Daddy..." Shao Dabao shouted in a low voice.

    Old man Zheng leaned close to his mouth, listening to Shao Dabao's "father" one after another, and suddenly felt sad.

      Too many in and out.

    Shao Dabao is a gambler. He gambled all his fortune, lost a finger, and almost lost his sister. Such a person will be beaten by old man Zheng just by listening to others. revile.

    But he has had deep contact with Shao Dabao, so it is inevitable that he will be a little more tolerant. Seeing his current appearance, he can only think that he has reformed.

    "I'm not your father." Old Man Zheng said softly.

    However, Shao Dabao, who had been burning for a long time, kept saying: "Dad, don't deny me... I'm obedient, I'll change..."

    After hearing this, Old Man Zheng felt more and more sad.

    It's just that Shao Dabao is in the current situation, he is powerless, and finally he is cruel and pulls out his clothes.

    "Dad, don't go, don't leave me..."

    Old man Zheng refused to look at him, turned around and left the firewood room.

    Shao Dabao lay there, his cheeks flushed, feeling the departure of old man Zheng in a daze, he immediately felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

    The officer who sent Shao Dabao to the firewood room seemed to remember that there was someone in the firewood room until the next morning.

    It's just that there was a little bit of Shao Dabao's shadow in the firewood room except for a pile of firewood at this time. Ask your colleagues.

    "The lord is looking for you, come quickly."

    Hearing this, the officer immediately forgot about Shao Dabao. When he remembered to ask, several colleagues could not tell where Shao Dabao was, and finally they discussed it. After all, it is still recorded by people falling into the water.

    Shao Yu in Qingzhou City didn't even know that his son's whereabouts were unknown. At this time, he was dealing with his wife who came home.

    Wang went back to her parents' house this time because her nephew got married. She went back and helped for three days.

    When she saw her nephew who was about the same age as her son marrying, Wang had mixed feelings, so when she got home, her first reaction was to look for her son.

    As soon as she entered the house, she only saw Shao Yu's father and daughter, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

    "Where's Dabao?" Mrs Wang asked, looking at Shao Yu closely.

     "Going to do corvée." Shao Yu said lightly.

    When Wang Shi heard this, she was like five thunders. She hoped that Shao Dabao would make progress, so she was willing to make a fierce appearance, but in such a dangerous place as corvée, how could she let her son suffer Such suffering.

    "Dabao is a scholar, how can he endure such hardships?" Wang's eyes were red, and when she thought of her son suffering in a place she didn't know, Wang was eager to replace him.

    "The corvée is not a place to eat people, so many people have come back with all their tails, and it's not just for Dabao alone." Shao Yu comforted.

    "Why isn't it a place to eat people? My cousin went to do corvée last year and never came back!" Wang said angrily.

    Shao Yu understands the reason why Erxing Qianli's mother is worried, and does not feel that Wang is making a big fuss, so he explained: "Dabao is serving corvée this time, not going to a dangerous place like a mine, this time he is going to Embankment, embankment is safe."

    Wang said immediately: "The embankment is so high, what if he slips down accidentally?"

    As he spoke, tears fell.

    Shao Yu sighed helplessly and said: "Eating is so dangerous, if he accidentally choked, what should he do? Everything is dangerous, even if he stays at home all day, he may not be careful. Fall into a ditch and drown."

    Wang's body froze. Although she understood this truth in her heart, she was still not willing to bear the hardships of Shao Dabao at all, and quickly accused: "Why can't you expect your son to order well?"

    "I didn't expect him to fall off the embankment." Shao Yu replied immediately.

    Wang choked.

    Shao Yu continued: "It's also a good thing for him to go to corvée. After suffering there, he will know the benefits of reading, and when he comes back, he will cherish the opportunity to study even more. Study hard, and it won't take long for you to be a goddess."

    When Wang Shi heard the words, she faintly felt that something was wrong. Although she still cared about her precious son, she was still moved by the big cake that Shao Yu had painted for her. , Wang Shi can only hope that Shao Dabao will come back soon.

    Wang's family is looking forward to his son's return every day at home. He is not very interested in other things, and even the daily housework is full of mistakes. It's just that the Shao family does not have a picky ghost like Shao Dabao. No one accused her.

    Shao Yu and Shao Xiaocao are devoted to research, Shao Xiaocao first learned to paste lanterns to help their parents, but they do a line of love, over time, Shao Xiaocao really likes it on this matter.

    "The paint is done!" Shao Xiaocao was excited.

    Seeing a bowl of paint that was finally made, although the color is very different from the expected, even the color is not even half bright, but for Shao Xiaocao who has failed several times, it is already a Huge progress.

    How to make paint correctly, Shao Yu is very clear, but what he gave his daughter is only a single, very superficial method, Shao Yu does not want to do everything, he does not want to be deprived Daughter has fun exploring.

    Shao Xiaocao looked at the bowl of strange yellow paint in her hand, her face was full of excitement, such happiness was something she had never experienced in her fifteen years of life.

    "What the **** color, what's there to be happy about." Wang Shi, who was on the side, seemed to see that her daughter was so happy, so she couldn't help but stabbed.

    Shao Xiaocao, who was still immersed in joy, immediately seemed to be poured a basin of cold water on her head.

    Shao Yu immediately patted her shoulder and said, "Well done."

    Shao Xiaocao immediately revived with blood, ignoring the unpleasantness caused by Wang, and looked at the bowl of paint happily.

    "Your brother is suffering outside, you can still laugh at home, and you don't even think about who he is going out for!" Wang Shi couldn't see her daughter happy.

    Originally, although Wang’s treatment of Shao Xiaocao was not as good as Shao Dabao, she was still her own daughter, so her attitude was okay, but since Shao Dabao broke a finger, Wang began to be unconscious angered little daughter.

    The smile on Shao Xiaocao's face froze again.

     

    How could Shao Dabao ever be such a flamboyant person, but in this case, Wang is not easy to refute, after all, once he refutes, it means denying his own son.

    Wang shi couldn't say anything to Shao Yu, so in the end she could only snort coldly before turning around and entering the kitchen.

    Being beaten by her mother, although Shao Xiaocao lost a lot, she had no intention of complaining to Shao Yu. She was used to being ignored at home. way, at this time pick up a homemade pen, dipped in yellow paint.

    It's just that her hand trembled for a long time, and I don't know if it was because she was afraid of wasting paper and paint, she had not been able to write successfully, and she just hung in the air.

    "Practicing with water on a slate a thousand times is not as good as drawing once." Shao Yu said, but he sighed in his heart.

    Shao Xiaocao often dipped in water and practiced on the slate during this time, but the results were little talent.

    Shao Xiaocao took a deep breath, and with Shao Yu's encouragement, she finally reached out and drew on it.

    She didn't have any drawing foundation, so she didn't know what to draw when she started practicing. Shao Yu thought of a way for her, not to start with anthropomorphic drawing, but to draw simple pattern.

    What she draws now is a peach.

      A weird square.

    Shao Xiaocao suddenly felt a little guilty and whispered: "Waste paper and paint."

    She is already calculating how many lanterns this piece of paper can paste and how much the lanterns can sell.

    Shao Yu took the pen from her hand, dipped in some paint, and touched it with a few strokes. The irregular square turned into a blooming yellow flower.

    The color of the flowers is suitable and the layers are clear. If you let people who know it look at it, you will naturally understand that the artist is good at painting.

    But in Shao Xiaocao's eyes, she can only see two words: beautiful.

    "Daddy is amazing." Shao Xiaocao's eyes were full of admiration.

    Shao Yu smiled, he forgot which painter he cultivated in Kuai Chuan world.

    After Shao Xiaocao waited for the flower to dry, she said regretfully: "It's a pity that I can't learn such a beautiful flower. If I learn it, then I can keep repeating it. Our lanterns will surely sell out in time."

    Shao Yu listened to this and asked with a smile: "Do you think about it, is there a way to repeat it without drawing?"

    Shao Yu has already seen that the little girl is no longer interested in painting, but only wants to add value to her lanterns by painting, so she changed her mind to guide her.

    Shao Xiaocao saw that his father seemed to want to test his teaching, and his face immediately showed a thoughtful color.

    While she was thinking, Shao Yu picked up the pen and added two butterflies to the flower, and drew a lifelike "Butterfly Loves Flower".

    At this time, someone was knocking on the door in the yard, and Mrs. Wang opened the door. It was the neighbor's aunt.

    "Sister-in-law Shao, thank you for the mold." The neighbor aunt smiled and returned the mold.

    "It's a mold!" Shao Xiaocao woke up like a dream.

    Shao Yu smiled and nodded.

     But her eyes fell on the piece of paper, and the content on the painting was already very full, but it was too difficult to make a mold.

    Shao Yu seemed to understand what she was thinking, and came over and said, "You can't do complicated things, you can start with simple ones."

     After Shao Yu finished speaking, he took out a piece of hay from the kitchen. After it was stained with paint, he pressed it on the paper.

    A yellow line appears on the paper.

    Shao Yu printed several times, and a series of yellow patterns appeared.

    Although they are all lines, they look surprisingly good together.

    After waiting for the paint to dry, Shao Yu said to her daughter, "Try to make a lantern."

    Shao Xiaocao moved very quickly. After receiving it, he quickly made it. After placing a candle, as the lights came on, in this dim utility room, the lights lit up. The reflection on the ground also showed complex and beautiful lines.

    "It's so beautiful." Shao Xiaocao rolled her eyes and said, "This must be a penny more expensive."

    Shao Yu tapped her forehead and said, "I don't have the ambition, will you be satisfied with a penny?"

    Shao Xiaocao thought about it and said, "Then add three cents!"

    Shao Yu smiled and said, "A little more."

    "Any more? Is it a tael of silver?" Shao Xiaocao asked, but just after she asked, she said, "No, a lantern of silver or two, what is it made of? Too Not worth it."

    Shao Yu thought of the big luxury brands in modern times that sell ordinary items for sky-high prices, and said, "When you become famous, make a lantern at random. Maybe someone will pay a few hundred taels to buy it."

    Shao Xiaocao didn't even dare to think about the scene depicted by her father.

    After a long time, she calmed down her agitated mood and said to Shao Yu: "Daddy, teach me to print patterns."

    "This is very simple, you can also try to think of tricks yourself." Shao Yu said.

    Shao Xiaocao's face immediately showed a look of eagerness to try.

    But at this moment, Wang's voice suddenly came from outside the house: "The boss, the boss! Come out!"

    Shao Yu's father and daughter were eager to hear her words, so they hurried out.

    Wang clasped her chest and leaned against the door, not far in front of her was an official in a soap suit.

    "Headman, tell him, my big treasure is in good health, why did it disappear for no reason." Wang said.

    This official is here to report the letter, and the corvée are all civilians.

    When Mrs Wang heard the news of her son's death again, her heart and heart were broken.

    Shao Yu was stunned when he heard it. Shao Dabao is the protagonist of this world. Shao Yu still remembers when he came here. All dead, he probably didn't die, how could he die so easily.

    Seeing that the official did not bring back the body, I was already 80% sure that Shao Dabao should still be bouncing around in a corner.

    "Impossible, impossible, how could my son die..." Mrs. Wang turned into Mrs. Xianglin, muttering constantly.

    "Mother, don't be too sad." Shao Xiaocao's eyes were red. Although Shao Dabao had many bad things, he was her own brother after all, so he couldn't help feeling sad. .

    Wang shi didn't appreciate it at all, but pushed her hard and said, "Don't curse your brother."

    Shao Yu helped her daughter and said to his wife, "Even if something happens to your son, don't blame your daughter."

    Wang shi seemed to be inaudible, and muttered in his mouth: "To live to see people, to die to see corpses, he must not die."

    "Mother, the officials said my brother's body fell into the river..."

    Shao Xiaocao said softly.

    Wang was shattered by the illusion, and his face collapsed suddenly, and suddenly he hit Shao Yu hard, cursing: "It's all you, you have to send him to do corvée!"

    Shao Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Mom, how can you blame dad? If it weren't for my brother gambling, the family wouldn't be able to squeeze out a little money to pay the fine."

    Although Wang understands the truth, she still instinctively angers others, and after scolding Shao Yu, she starts scolding her daughter: "It's all you, if you marry Master Zhang, where will there be These things!"

    "Dabao may not be dead." Shao Yu said suddenly.

    Wang immediately seemed to grab a life-saving straw and said loudly, "I also think my son is still alive!"

    But the official who came to report the letter did not know when to leave.

    Shao Yu helped the person into the house, and when it was only him and the Wang family, he said, "After a while, I will go to the dam to find someone."

    Wang shi immediately nodded like garlic, and urged: "You go now, don't wait."

    Shao Yu shook her head and said, "You and Xiaocao are at home, I'm not at ease."

    Wang thought that her husband was worried about the comfort of the mother and daughter, and immediately said, "I must close the door and prevent Xiaocao from going out."

    "Then I'm even more worried." Shao Yu said.

    A question mark slowly appeared above Wang's head.

    Shao Yu sighed and said, "You are mean to Xiaocao, I'm not at home, I don't know what you will do to her, forget it, I still don't go to the riverbank."

    "No way!" Wang Shi was about to jump up in a hurry.

    Shao Yu is almost certain that Shao Dabao is not dead, so she has no worries in her heart, looking at Wang's anxious expression, and said: "I don't know if Dabao is still alive, I will point at Xiaocao in the future. As for my son-in-law, don't let me go out without finding Dabao, and when I get home, I find that Xiaocao has also been scolded by you."
