In the middle of the night, I was very thirsty, turned over, my head was still groggy, I had a little headache, I felt out the glowstone under the pillow and placed it on the lamp holder at the head of the bed, Ding Yi suddenly found that he was in his own home.

After getting dressed, I walked outside, and when I looked up, the sky was still dark, there was no moon or stars, and occasionally there was a bluish-white light in the distant sky. It's the rainy season, and it seems like there are still a few cloudy days. Picking up a bucket of well water from the well, Ding Yi cleaned his face, the feeling of hangover had not completely subsided, but the cold well water somewhat relieved the dizziness of the brain.

Ding Yi sat on the well platform like this, and he could just think quietly about his life. The night was vast, and in the small lonely courtyard around him, Ding Yi fell into deep thought. I have seen more of the demeanor of a cultivator, and I have also seen a part of the life of a cultivator. On one side is the luxury and dazzling splendor, and on the other side is the poverty and withering decline. Gambling on your future in the extraordinary sacrifice of the selection conference after half a year? The probability of 1 in 100,000 will fall on your head for no reason?

It's still a down-to-earth life, so that parents can live a good life, and they won't be overjoyed and anxious about just getting a few gold coins and a few silver coins. I can do it, I can do it!

Maybe puppetry is really a method that can change one's life, and it is a ladder that will really change one's fate.

The door of the master bedroom opened with a babble, and Wu Shuhui got up thirsty in the middle of the night to find water to drink, and she saw Ding Yi. There is so much extra money in the family, which makes Wu Shuhui happy and uneasy. Seeing that Ding Yi began to make money and slowly changed her family's economic predicament, she was a little proud on the one hand, but also a little distressed at the same time.

Ding Yi's unobtrusive thoughts were once a big headache for her and Ding Zhaoding, and he used to always excuse him for his young age, but as Ding Yi grew up, until now Wu Shuhui feels more and more that this son seems to be getting more and more away from her. The poverty of life did not deter her. But this feeling of gradual alienation made her heart ache.

This is also the child she conceived and gave birth to in October, the child who followed him to sell fish at the fish stall when he was still in his infancy, every time he thought that he had not bought a new dress for Ding Yi, the little children were wearing the old clothes of his brothers and sisters and changed into clothes. Nor have I eaten a good meal. The kid never complained, he didn't pay attention to food and clothing. He's always entertaining himself over there, and none of his older siblings are like him, they're more like normal kids. It's just that he's always thinking about it all day, and from time to time some thoughts come up that scare her and his father.

This child is like the grain of wheat that falls on the ridge of the field, no one notices it, and he does not compete with the other wheat seedlings in the field for water and fertilizer. It grew silently until it grew up, and then it was discovered that this small wheat seedling was also a good seed.

Wu Shuhui deeply blamed herself, how long had she not spoken to this child, and she never knew what the child thought. I always blindly scolded him for being playful and naughty, and I didn't have any requirements for him like he did with Ding Li. He even vaguely agreed to his father's request to let the child go to work before the age of ten. It's full of remorse when I think about it.

"Are you drunk? Why do children want to learn from adults to drink, it's very uncomfortable to be drunk, do you know, last night I was worried about your father for most of the night, your father seems to be a stuffy gourd who doesn't talk much, in fact, he cares for you no less than me, do you know, last night after you were picked up by a young man, your father howled and cried, I have been with him for more than ten years, no matter how big the pain, no matter how big the pain, no matter how big the difficulty, I have never seen him shed a tear, but yesterday he cried like a child. You know, your dad blames himself for not being able to protect you, and he doesn't dare to stop him. Because he still has two children, and I he has to protect. ”

"Although he didn't say it, I know that he is such a strong man, although this family is small and simple, but this is your father like a swallow nesting, every brick, every tile is soaked in your father's sweat. Every plant and tree in this yard is carefully cared for by your father, and of course you are also included. Don't complain that your father seems to be partial to your eldest brother, in fact, the palms and backs of your hands are all meat, and the conditions at home were not bad before, yesterday your father said that you don't have to go to work anymore, and you have to continue to study, just like your eldest brother. ”

Wu Shuhui hugged her youngest son and spoke softly, gently hiding the tears from the corners of her eyes from time to time. On the one hand, he felt sorry for his son, and on the other hand, he released the pent-up emotions for many days.

Ding Yi rested his head on his mother's lap, thinking about his father's past, but also full of guilt, he could think of his father's childhood misfortune, witnessing the tragic changes in the family, and being orphaned since childhood, being bullied, and finally growing up in middle age.

"Mom, how did I get back yesterday?" Ding Yi changed the subject, he didn't want the atmosphere to be too dull.

"How did you come back? Of course I came back lying down. Fortunately, it was the adult who went to the banquet with you yesterday, and they not only sent you home, but also gave you gifts, but your father is right, we are a family of ordinary mortals, and those cultivators are better not to touch, try not to touch, to be honest, your father cried like that yesterday, my heart is also very uncomfortable, you have to take every step of the way, go steadily, after all, you will also open us in the future, and start a family by yourself, your parents will not follow you forever, remind you ......" Wu Shuhui gently patted Ding Yi's shoulder and said softly.

"Mom, are you and Dad going to kick me out, so I don't want to leave you, we will be together forever. Ding Yi corrected.

Wu Shuhui laughed softly: "Silly child, you will grow up after all, you will marry a wife and have children, I am afraid that you will be tired of my old wife and son at that time, and dislike me and your father are old and immortal." ”

"Mom, you're talking nonsense, what about me, I will earn a lot of money to support you in the future, and I want to find a beautiful daughter-in-law who is satisfied with both of your parents, and our family will live together with Meimei, and we will never be separated together. Ding Yi said with a smile.

Wu Shuhui caressed her child's head lovingly, and at this moment, Wu Shuhui's heart was full of happiness, and it also diluted the pain of the first half of the night.

Sure enough, in the early morning, Ding Zhaoding discussed with Ding Yi whether he could tell Steward Xu that he didn't have to go to the puppet shop to work. And asked Ding Yi to pick up all his previous homework, review it well, study hard in the future, and strive to go to Phoenix City like his brother.

Ding Zhaoding also said that he would lend money to Steward Xu, and said that he would personally go to the front door after work and ask Steward Xu to have a banquet at a better restaurant. Ding Li took out a lot of snacks to eat, saying that it was sent by the cultivator who sent him back yesterday, which made Ding Yi feel very surprised, but he didn't expect Lan Xuan to have such an emotional side.

Thinking that he always raised the bar with him when the two met, Ding Yi wondered if he would be kind to Brother Lan when he saw him again in the future?

Today, because he is going to quit his job, Ding Yi picked some of the food and put it in a cloth bag, ready to give it to the workers who work together, and the thought of leaving Xu Ji, Duoduo may be very disappointed, as well as Jia Shiyuan, Lu Shiji, Xu Guanshi, Xiaoye, they are all so good to themselves, Ding Yi is a little disappointed.

Under the interweaving of this anxiety and a feeling of letting the birds fly in the sky, as if he had regained his freedom, Ding Yi came to the front door. Duoduo was still waiting for him at the door as always, which made Ding Yi feel a sense of guilt. He didn't even know how to explain it to his mentor.

Duoduo still cares about whether Ding Yi has successfully solved the formation memory problem. And told Ding Yi that last night, he had made a set of tools exclusive to Ding Yi according to Ding Yi's hand shape. This made Ding Yi moved and sad again.

There are more people in the workshop who started work early, and it can be said that because some groups started early yesterday, the progress of the workers who arrived late yesterday was surpassed, so almost all the workers arrived in Xu Ji early this morning and started their work. Ding Yi arrived late.

Ding Yi said hello to the workers who arrived early one by one, and finally took Duoduo and went to Duoduo's office. Told him about his family's decision. And took out a cloth bag and gave it to Duoduo. It can be seen that Duoduo is very stunned, but there is no anger as Ding Yi imagined, but Ding Yi can feel that Duoduo is a little sentimental.

"Why don't you scold me, or scold me, then I will feel better, I'm sorry Duoduo, I'm really sorry, I disappointed you......" At this moment, Ding Yi only had tears of guilt and weak words.

"Xiao Ding, why should I scold you? You are my most optimistic puppeteer, you should have a great future, you are not like me who has not received a good education since I was a child, and everything is my own foolishness. You are still young, you are the age of study, you are the smartest person I have ever met, I have always been proud of you, and I believe that you will surpass me in the future. Duoduo said earnestly.

Ding Yi was already crying: "Duoduo, I'm sorry, I will never forget you, I will never forget the puppet technique you taught me, I will often come to see you." Duoduo is also sentimental.

Xu Rongfa was still struggling with how to solve the matter of the arrival of the second lady, and Xiao Ye came in to say that he heard Ding Yi crying in Duoduo's office. Xu Rongfa hurriedly ran over.

Breaking into the door without knocking would have been scolded a lot in the past. And today, not only did Duoduo not scold him, but it can be seen that Duoduo is also tearful and sad. Originally, I thought that Duoduo was teaching Ding Yi a lesson, and beat Ding Yi, Ding Yi cried because of the pain, but now this scene is obviously not, is there something that I don't know?

"Steward Xu, you came just in time, Xiao Yi, you can talk to Steward Xu. Duoduo said.

Ding Yi then expressed his family's opinion, and Ding Yi himself felt really ashamed, his head hung very low, and he didn't dare to raise it. After waiting for a long time, Xu Rongfa didn't make a statement. Looking up, I saw Xu Rongfa touching his chin with a serious face, as if he was thinking about something.

"Steward Xu, you should agree to Xiao Ding's request, he is still a child, his family is right to let him go to study again, we shouldn't stop ......" Duoduo said unevenly.

Xu Rongfa raised his hand to stop Duoduo's speech. He said to Ding Yi with a straight face: " Xiaoding, since this is your family's opinion, I have no reason to object, you come to work on my Xu Ji, it has always been good, I have always admired you, I believe that you are also very happy to work in Xu Ji, in fact, I also do not approve of you coming out to work at such a young age, I am also going to go to your home to talk to your father, let you continue to study, I am also ready to contract the cost of your future study, you at this age is indeed to learn more knowledge, to be honest, your departure is a major loss to my Xu Ji, Xu Ji's door will always be open for you, if you return from your studies in the future, I hope Xu Ji is your first considerationI've always kept the position of director for you. ”

Ding Yi and Duoduo didn't expect Xu Rongfa to say such a thing, and they were surprised and moved.

Ding Yi told Xu Rongfa that the family had prepared the money, and Xu Rongfa could go to get it at any time, and said that Ding Zhaoding would invite him to a banquet in the evening, hoping that Xu Zhi's affairs would be appreciated. Xu Rongfa readily agreed, and then directly took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it in Ding Yi's hand, saying that this was to settle Ding Yi's salary in the past few days, and the second was to sponsor Ding Yi's future study. This made Duoduo's perception of him change greatly. In the end, Xu Rongfa told Ding Yi to come over and play and come to see him. Ding Yi agreed without a word.
