Wan Jiahe's letter to Yang Sheng was naturally intended to embarrass Yang Sheng, and there was also a sense of showing off in it, but what he didn't expect was that Yang Sheng was literate.

Yang Sheng's father died when Yang Sheng was six years old. His father had passed the childbirth examination before, and as long as he passed the government examination, he would be a famous scholar. I'm not in good health, and I went before the day of the government examination.Yang Sheng, like his father, was smart since he was a child, and he could memorize what he memorized in a short time. His father had enlightened him since he was three years old. Read the Analects.When he was six years old, he already knew a lot of characters. Although no one taught him how to read and write after his father left, he would still occasionally look through the books left by his father and take the Draw and practice calligraphy on the ground with wooden poles.

After opening the letter at home, Yang Sheng couldn't help but frowned, and there was only one sentence in it, 'Stay at home and don't go out. 'If you don't go out, go with the northwest wind!When Yang Sheng went out, the family only had the five taels of cash that he got when the family was separated. He originally wanted to leave it all to his mother-in-law, but his mother refused, so he asked him to bring it all over. Brother, always keep some money by your side.Yang Sheng was naturally unwilling, but in the end Yang Sheng compromised and agreed to come over when he got a tael of silver.

Before Yang Sheng thought about the situation after he got married, in fact, it is much better than he imagined now. He thought that after getting married, he would be like the rumors outside, become the daughter-in-law of a landlord’s family and cannot eat at the table. Do not use things at home at will.Yang Sheng thought, although Wan Jiahe didn't hand over the money to his wife for safekeeping or for her family's household like the general headed family, but at least he allowed himself to arrange the food in the family as he wanted, as long as he wasn't hungry, he would think about other things. The solution is fine.

After reading the letter, Yang Sheng threw it aside. What he wanted to do most now was to count the money he earned today.He remembered that he had never used the full ten taels of silver, which meant that there were at least 40 taels in the bag. After pouring out all the contents in the money bag, Yang Sheng put the complete four ingots of silver aside and counted them broken silver.There wasn't much left of those pieces of silver, probably even one penny could be exchanged for a hundred copper plates.

On the way back, Yang Sheng thought about how to deal with the money in this way. First of all, he couldn’t put the money in this room, otherwise, if it was found out by the Wan’s family, he would have nothing to do with him, because no one would Believe that you will have so much money.

He took the money back and put it with A Niang, and saved it in the bank when he went to the town next time. When he saved enough 100 taels, he could buy a better house by himself. At that time, even if he was kicked out and returned to his mother's house, he could live alone.

Wanjia had no shortage of oily rice noodles, but not many vegetables. The nearby vegetable garden only had green peppers and eggplants. Yang Sheng thought that the pumpkins should have been bought from the villagers that day, or from the homes of Wanjiahe's brothers.

After rushing back to the kitchen, Yang Sheng looked at the umbrella mushrooms that had been fully opened in the tub, and prepared to cook noodles for dinner.Last night, he raised the mushrooms that hadn't opened their umbrellas in the water, and it happened that the mushroom canopies above the mycorrhizae had all opened.

Wan Jiahe left home again, Yang Sheng didn't care at all, he already knew what kind of person Wan Jia's youngest son was, and he went to hook up with girls and brothers every day, so he didn't dare to point at him at the beginning. It's hard to say that it's hard to live with such a person now.It was just the thought in his heart, Yang Sheng hesitated, he originally thought that if he had a child, he would be able to take the child to live by himself, but now he suddenly doesn't want the child anymore, the child's father is so virtuous , It will have an impact on what the child says in the future.

Meals for one person are very simple, and Yang Sheng is not particular about what he eats, and he still has his favorite ingredients, so he made a bowl of delicious shredded pork noodles with mushrooms in two or three strokes.After finishing dinner, Yang Sheng went to brush his shoes. This morning he went into the mountains early in the morning, and then went to the town. His shoes were covered with mud, so he had to wash them well. wash.

Thinking that he took off his shoes before entering the gate when he came back, Yang Sheng moved his previous thoughts again. It would be great to have a house of his own. This kind of rural place is full of mud, but they Wanjia Gold is so expensive that it cannot be stained with mud.

"Since you despise the mud on the ground, why don't you move to the county town? There is no mud on the streets there! Huh, no mud, if you don't have mud, just wait to starve to death!" Big ones, they have a different emotion towards the land. It should be said that all farmers in the world have a special affection for the land. They live a life facing the loess and their backs to the sky all year round. Harvest, so farmers will always feel distressed when they meet people who waste food, and they don't like people who look down on farmers.

There is no running water in the courtyard, so Yang Sheng has to go outside the house to wash his shoes.Basically every household in this village has a living canal outside, so it is very convenient to wash something on weekdays.The water in the canal is mountain spring water from the mountains, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.In winter, you can still see the white mist floating on the water at the water source at the foot of the mountain.

It is the hottest time of the year now, but fortunately there are many trees in the countryside, so it will be much cooler after the sun sets in the afternoon.When Yang Sheng went out of the house barefoot and carrying his shoes, he happened to see Wan Xiaodong standing at the door of his house holding a big pear in one hand.

"Xiaodong, why are you here?"

"I'm here early."

"Then why don't you go in?"

"I, I dare not...hehe."

Although the people in this village can live a decent life, everyone's money is also tight. This Wanjia is lucky. There are not only long-term workers who work, but also guards who guard the gate. From the perspective of villagers, these people are completely Superfluous, waste of money.The Wan family is considered the best family in Wanjiaba, but there are not many families in the village who have close contact with his family. The only few families are branches of the Wan family's last two generations, and the relationship is not far away.

After Yang Sheng learned the reason why Wan Xiaodong didn't dare to enter the house, his attitude was exactly the same as Wan Xiaodong's, thinking that the Wan family was really good at wasting money!

"Brother Yang Sheng, so you say the same?" Wan Xiaodong took a big bite of the pear in his hand as he spoke, and then dangled his feet in the water non-stop.

The two walked a little far, on the vegetable patch of Wan's house, after Yang Shengba washed his shoes, he sat with Wan Xiaodong on the stone by the small ditch by the roadside, and they gnawed while talking. Hands on pears.

"This pear tastes good, but it's not ripe yet. When it's ripe, it should be sweeter and taste better." Now that the sun has completely set, they are sitting by the ditch again, with the cool wind blowing on their bodies. , he still had a big pear in his mouth to quench his thirst. Yang Sheng didn't feel how hot it was, but felt extremely comfortable. It seemed that he hadn't stayed so relaxed for many years.

Wan Xiaodong couldn't sit still, and jumped into the ditch all of a sudden, stepping on the water while talking, and still gnawed on the pear in his mouth. "Brother Yang Sheng, when the pears are fully ripe, they will be much bigger than they are now, and they will become very sweet, with no sour taste at all. I like the pears that are not ripe and have a bit of astringent feeling. Eat them when they are fully ripe. Don't give in."

"That's right, it tastes pretty good." Yang Sheng himself also likes raw fruits. In the past, there was an apple tree in his family's field, which produced only a few fruits every year. In the first year, he watched the fruits bear fruit and endured it. Greedy, waited until the fruit was ripe before picking it back, but Grandpa didn't give any of it to himself.It was the same in the second year, so in the third year he waited for the fruit to be unripe and secretly picked one. He thought that the unripe fruit must not be very delicious, but he found that he quite liked the astringent taste.

"Hey, my mother is so annoying."

"What's the matter?" Yang Sheng watched Wan Xiaodong play with the water, and lowered his body, stroking the water with his hands. The cool spring water felt so comfortable on his skin.

"My aunt, ah...it's over! Brother Yang Sheng, run!"

Before Yang Sheng could react, he was pulled up by Wan Xiaodong, and the two of them jumped onto the ridge and ran into the cornfield above.Yang Sheng didn't know why Wan Xiaodong was pulling him away, but he heard a deep voice behind him constantly cursing, as if saying...

"That disobedient dead child didn't know that someone was drinking water down there, and it was a vile ghost who made the water muddy and dirty! Bah! Made my mother drink muddy water!"

After the sound faded away, the two squatting in the cornfield relaxed their bodies, glanced at each other and laughed loudly.
