Chapter 834 I know I was wrong
"No matter what you do in the future, your parents and sisters will always stand with you. You don't have to hide this kind of thing from your family!"
“Do you do this because you think that the people in your family will only be happy because of your achievements and will not be willing to share the pain with you because of your failures?”
Bai Mi Dou obviously did not expect Bai Shitang to be so angry, and was immediately startled.
Then he lowered his head with a guilty look on his face, "I don't think so, I just don't want to worry my parents about this..."
"Since we are your parents, it is natural to worry!" Bai Shitang's anger remained unabated, "Where are the parents who don't worry about their children? This is a normal thing, so what are you worrying about?"
Bai Mi Dou bit his lower lip, and a layer of mist suddenly formed in his eyes.
After knowing that he was an adopted son, although his appearance was the same as before, he was somewhat apprehensive in his heart.
The adoptive parents raised him to such a large age and provided them with education. They cared for their four siblings wholeheartedly.
Bai Mi Dou felt warm in his heart, but his heart was also full of burdens.
They adopted him who was not related by blood and treated him as their own. Bai Shitang and Su Mulan were kind-hearted. This was a kindness to him. He needed to repay this kindness, and it took him a lifetime to repay.
But he was only twelve years old, just a child, and had no ability to repay them. The only thing he could do was to study diligently, obtain fame in the future, and shine on his family.
So he secretly signed up for the county examination, in order to make his parents happy if he passed the exam. If he failed, his parents would not know about it and would not be disappointed with him.
But now, he seems to have done something wrong...
"Dad, I..." Bai MiDou suppressed the fog in his eyes.
Dad once said that a man should not shed tears easily. He is a man and cannot cry easily.
But when he opened his mouth, Bai Midou didn't know how to defend himself. He opened his mouth and finally swallowed the words.
Bai Shitang's tone was slightly gentler, and he said sincerely, "I know you are filial and sensible, but you have to remember that you are just a child. Your mother and I don't want to just see your filial and sensible nature, but we want to see your joy." Anger, sorrow and joy.”
"Although our family is from a poor family and cannot be compared to a prominent family, your mother and I just hope that you four siblings will grow up safely and happily in the future. We do not require you to achieve anything. I don’t want you to bear too much for this.”
“If so, it’s your mother’s fault and mine.”
These words are calm and powerful, but there is a deep warmth between the lines.
Bai Mi Dou couldn't control it anymore, tears welled up in Dou's eyes, and she threw herself into Bai Shitang's arms, "Dad..."
“What a kid, you’re still crying like this.” Bai Shitang’s words were full of disgust, but he held Bai Midou in his arms and patted him gently on the back.
The twelve-year-old child has grown very tall now and is almost taller than Su Mulan. He usually stands here and is often mistaken for an adult because of his calm and reserved temperament. But now he is crying. Whimpering, with runny nose and tears, like a three-year-old child.
This child has too many things on his mind.
Su Mulan sighed inwardly when he saw this.
Bai Mi Dou cried for a while, almost letting out his emotions, and then he stopped crying. Seeing that Bai Shitang's clothes had become wrinkled because of him, and stained with tears and snot, his face suddenly turned red, "Daddy's The clothes are stained."
"Just wash it if it gets dirty. It's not like you can't wear it. Besides, it doesn't matter if you can't wear it. There is no shortage of clothes at home." Bai Shitang resumed his usual gentleness and kindness towards the children, "But you are crying. Colored-faced cat, hurry up and wash yourself." "Hey." Bai Mi Dou agreed, and happily went to the water tank in the yard to scoop up water and wash his face.
Hummy boy, there is a scrubbing sound when washing your face.
Su Mulan listened to the noise in the room, poured some tea boiled on the small stove for Bai Shitang, and also made a cup for dry white rice and beans, and finally took a cup for herself to drink.
Last year's osmanthus tea, even after winter, is still full of fragrance when I drink it now.
“I never realized that you have a lot of experience in teaching children.” Su Mulan sighed with emotion.
"I saw it some time ago. This child always looks like he doesn't want to cause trouble to his family. If he is left outside, he usually doesn't cause trouble to others because he is restrained and well-educated. But if this happens, it is not good, especially for family."
Bai Shitang said, "It was okay when I was young. If something happens in the future, I am afraid of causing trouble to my family, and I am afraid of making my family worry. I keep it in my heart, and if I don't talk about it to others, it will be easy to get into trouble."
“That’s true.” Su Mulan nodded.
In order to cover up one thing, it is inevitable to use another thing or lie to conceal it, which will inevitably lead to one lie after another. If things go on like this, the consequences will be disastrous.
Especially when encountering a major event, it may be beyond redemption.
Breaking them off while they are young will avoid any problems in the future.
While the two were talking, Bai Mi Dou had already washed his hands and face and came over. He also had a towel in his hand and helped Bai Shitang wipe the snot on his clothes.
After finishing everything, he sat down to drink tea with Bai Shitang and Su Mulan.
"Since I passed the county exam, I'm thinking of taking the prefectural exam in April and giving it a try." Bai Midou said, "Brother Yonghe will probably pass the exam. I'm not sure, but I still want to give it a try." try."
"If you want to give it a try, go and give it a try." Bai Shitang nodded, "I'll talk to Shopkeeper Liao in advance and book a suitable inn in Fucheng."
“No need to bother, the county school has already made arrangements.”
Bai MiDou smiled and said, "The Lu family donated a sum of money to the county school after the New Year. Chief Xue Shan and others decided to use part of the money to arrange for all those who went to the government examination to take the exam."
“When the time comes, we will go to Fucheng together, and my husband will follow and take care of me. I think since all the gentlemen are following, other people will probably not follow you, so my parents will not go with you.”
If you follow him, he will look too special, like a baby who has not grown up.
Bai Shitang and Su Mulan understood Bai Midou's thoughts and nodded in agreement, and then went to find Bai Kangyuan to tell him about the recommendation of the villagers.
To take part in the government examination, six people need to be recommended, four from the same village and two scholars.
The county school has made arrangements for the recommendation of scholars, so there is no need to worry about it. For the villagers, Bai Kangyuan has to take care of it.
Bai Kangyuan took the job and was overjoyed, with a hundred joys in his heart.
