Ye Jianqiu

Today's sun is very bright, and the rose-colored sunshine shines on Qingyang Town.

Ye Jianqiu was pulling a cart on the wide bluestone road, the cart was full of heavy goods, although this second-hand cart was heavy and worn out, and it kept making creaking noises, like a small The cat hides in the wheel.But Ye Jianqiu was full of smiles, walking briskly on the road, his cheerful mood was like a bird flying out of his chest, he couldn't help humming: "We are walking on the road, full of vigor and fighting spirit..."

Once upon a time, he felt that he was wandering alone in this strange world, looking at every strange face with strange eyes, embracing every strange building, soaking in the exotic customs.He was like a fish, swimming in new waters, no one really knew him, no one paid attention to him, and no one could understand his song.But he studied this strange world as he wished, just like studying a book...

Now, he has a dream, in which there are poems and distant places, in this dream there are secrets and hopes...

The dark-faced Gu Shulin squatted in the poplar forest and waited bitterly. When he finally saw Ye Jianqiu's late arrival, he was so angry that he almost threw the cigarette pot to the ground.

He walked up to Ye Jianqiu with a sullen face, and while pinning the cigarette pot on his waist, he complained: "Brother Ye, you were not on time today, and Cao Wu cheated me of twenty copper coins for nothing. Damn, you still have to roll your eyes at the master!"

Speaking of this, Gu Shulin was furious. This Cao Wu not only knocked him twenty coppers, but Gu Shulin's face was also registered with Cao Wu. Next time he wants to pretend to be a customer to escape the protection fee. , I'm afraid it won't be that easy!

Ye Jianqiu said apologetically, "Brother Gu, I'm really sorry, the family has something to delay, today's mushrooms are for nothing!"

Gu Shulin's face turned gloomy immediately: "Brother Ye is just bold! Today's business is over, there will be no next time!"

Gu Shulin chattered: "I really couldn't wait, so I ran to the gate of the mansion and wanted to wait for you, but I saw Master Situ leaving the mansion early in the morning. I wanted to go into the mansion to look for you, but I didn't have the guts... Brother Ye, your family How is your temper? Is it easy to get along with?"

"Have you gone to the mansion? Next time if I'm late, brother Gu can come to the mansion to look for me. The people in the mansion are very nice, especially Mr. Situ, who has a very good temper. He has never reprimanded the servants, and has never had any ugly things." complexion."

Gu Shulin couldn't help saying: "That's really God's blessing! It's rare for master and servants to hear that they get along so well. Brother Ye is really lucky! I heard that sister-in-law Hong sold it to Master Li's house in Liulu Village a few days ago. Girl, one of them was beaten and disabled."

"why?"

Ye Jianqiu was surprised, so ruthless?Although Mrs. Ma is always clamoring to hit the board at every turn, she seldom makes a move.

Gu Shulin said disdainfully: "The little girl climbed on Master Li's bed, and was severely repaired by the jealous aunt. I heard that the child in her belly was kicked off!"

"Master Li doesn't care..."

Anyway, if you have skin-to-skin relationship, you should take good care of it!

"Care? Can Master Li manage it? There are countless beautiful wives and concubines in the back house. What is a girl! I don't know how many grandchildren and grandchildren are listed in the family book under his name! Master Li is just sleeping, and the girl is second. The day left people behind... No, the Li family came to buy people again this morning, and bought two maids and four boys in one go!"

Ye Jianqiu's face turned pale, and while feeling pity for that girl in his heart, he also secretly rejoiced that he was really lucky.In my heart, I feel that Situ Jin is a good person, and the whole house, including Mrs. Ma, gets along like a family.

"By the way, brother Ye, are there any flowers and plants for sale today? Xianke came to the inn to ask for some pots of flowers and plants, and asked for some beautiful peonies by name. I wonder if there are any more in stock, brother?"

"Yes! Yao Huang Wei Zi, the shipment will be made tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Gu Shulin looked happy, and this time he made a fortune again. Last time, the peonies that Ye Jianqiu asked him to sell were bought by Cao's family. two!Brother Ye is a God of Wealth, so don't offend him!If you come later, you will be later, who told people to have the skills of growing flowers and vegetables!

Thinking of this, Gu Shulin said enthusiastically, "Brother Ye is going to deliver goods in the county this time, do you have anything for Brother Ye?"

"I need to buy more than a dozen large red clay flowerpots, five celadon flowerpots, and a few smaller ones for the rest. Big brother Gu can figure it out. I'll get back more money and make up less."

"Success! Both of us brothers can do things without worry!"

Ye Jianqiu and Gu Shulin rushed to the market after paying the money in a hurry. He came late today, and the sun was scorching hot, so he had to find a felt hat to put on, and took off the padded jacket on his body.

When he came to the market and bought a lot of things, he happened to meet Mrs. Li who was shopping for vegetables.Mrs. Li stepped forward to stop him and said, "Xiaoqiu, there are villagers from Dayangshu Village who come to Qingyang Town to sell milk. The price is not expensive. You can buy a small pot for three dollars. Auntie can't drink it alone. Wait for you tomorrow." How about coming to my aunt's house to drink milk after selling the goods?"

"Okay! I'll go tomorrow."

This proposal fits Ye Jianqiu's heart, he has long planned to buy a milky skin to raise, drink some dairy products every day to increase nutrition, so as to gain weight early.And he just tore the cloth again, bought a few catties of rabbit fur, and was about to discuss with Mrs. Li about making some clothes, and by the way, he would study how to spin the wool into thread and then weave it into a sweater.This sweater knitting work is very complicated, and he has to teach her step by step. He has already ground several sweater needles of different thicknesses.

Upon hearing Ye Jianqiu's proposal, Li Shi was very interested. She mentioned the big bag of rabbit fur and said, "I'll take these rabbit fur first, and my aunt has to go home and figure it out...Does the rabbit fur have to be cleaned first?" Boil it? It smells great! And my aunt has to borrow a flower spinning machine to see if it can be spun into thread, I'm afraid it will be worn out."

"Don't be afraid, my aunt is going to do it boldly. If there is any loss, I will pay for it. If this batch is not good, I will buy a few catties. After the thread is spun, I will knit a piece of clothing for my aunt. I heard that the clothes made of rabbit hair are smooth and slippery. It’s very comfortable to wear next to your body, and it’s much better than a leather jacket when you wear it in the morning and evening.”

Mrs. Li likes these novel handicrafts the most. After hearing Ye Jianqiu's suggestion, she didn't want to change the market. She couldn't wait to go home and study with a big bag of rabbit fur.

Just as Ye Jianqiu was about to return home, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Big and small..."

When Ye Jianqiu turned his head, Ye Dashan was smiling and greeting him with a large basket of yellow charcoal on his back.

"Are you here again?"

"Well, yesterday I went to the mountain to collect some charcoal and sell it. I beat it all night, and I didn't even sleep well... No, I didn't sell any of it. How can I go back to the village..." Ye Dashan Difficult to say.

"Put it in my car, I'll take it."

"Yup!"

Ye Dashan quickly poured a basket of stones onto the cart, and kept looking at Ye Jianqiu's cart and the things on it.

Seeing this, Ye Jianqiu said: "Ye Dashan, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"No, my stomach hurts from hunger, and I feel dizzy."

Ye Jianqiu has never called Ye Dashan's father since he sold it, but called him by his first name.

Regarding this point, Ye Dashan didn't care about it on the surface, but he was very wronged in his heart.

The child is probably still angry with him, angry at his incompetence as a father, and sold him out!But if he hadn't sold his size, how could he be doing so well now?Even if he was dressed well, he was wearing a new cotton blouse, cloth shoes with thousand layers of soles, and there was no broken patch on his whole body!The food is also good, a small face no longer has the dark, thin and bluish ghostly appearance before, the cheeks are fleshy, and the complexion is still so good!There are endless money to spend!Every time I asked for money, it cost several taels, and I even bought a big cart!

Tut tut!Ye Dashan couldn't help sighing secretly, sure enough there was an old god to bless the family, but he didn't expect that it was the child, big and small, who benefited first, not Ye Dashan or Er Niu!

It's fine for him to be an old man if he doesn't show off, but he sighs when he thinks about Er Niu!Such an outstanding and juicy girl, but she didn't meet a good opportunity.Sister-in-law Renyazi Hong sent letters several times, saying that a rich family would accept her as a young lady, but Ye Dashan and Niu's life and death disagreed!Why can't the second girl of his family be the wife of the housewife?Although it is said that her natal family is poor, the key point for a girl to marry is to find a good husband's family, not to pick her natal family!Why can't the second girl of his family meet a master who spends a lot of money and can die and live for the second girl?

But don't let it out, how can the second girl stay at home and marry a farmer like her older sister? !Just thinking about it scares me!Such a good girl who is one in a thousand has to wear silk no matter what!Her elder brother is a good mix, but so what, but he is also a cook!Even those big and small can spend endless money, let alone his second girl? !

But Ye Jianqiu didn't know what Ye Dashan was thinking, but took Ye Dashan to the breakfast stand as usual, made rice for him, and wrapped a pack of deep-fried pancakes.

Ye Dashan was no longer as excited as he was when he received the item for the first time, but he naturally put the item in the rattan basket behind him, and said, "Big and small, the stewed beef you bought for me last time, your grandpa But I like to eat it, and I want to eat even more! When your grandfather is sick, he can’t eat, so he likes to eat a few bites of the beef you bought to survive. He praises you for your filial piety, and wants you to go home and see him..."

Ye Jianqiu sighed, and had no choice but to wrap another large bag of braised beef for Ye Dashan.

Seeing Ye Jianqiu pulling the cart to leave, Ye Dashan stepped forward anxiously and said, "Big or small, your father blushes when he says it. Although father has a big bag of food in his basket, it can't be used as travel expenses! This charcoal You took it all away, but Dad doesn't have any cash on him..."

Looking at Ye Dashan who didn't blush at all, Ye Jianqiu had no choice but to take out dozens of copper coins for him.

"You go back, be careful on the way, I'll go back to West Rabbit Village to see grandpa in a few days."

"Yeah! Be careful on the road, don't let the thieves touch your money!"

Ye Dashan stared greedily at the money bag in Ye Jianqiu's arms.
