Grandpa is not vegetarian

After Chen Hexuan entrusted Qingluo to Mu Yunyi, he left the next day. Mu Yunyi invited a doctor to treat Qingluo, prescribe a prescription, and asked the guy in charge of boiling water in the teahouse to bring it to him. drink.

Qingluo doesn't have any major illnesses, it's just that she has suffered a lot these days, and after being bought by Chen Hexuan, her future is very uncertain. She doesn't know where she will live in the future. As soon as I left, I became more and more worried day and night, and my condition became more and more serious at one time, which caused my spleen and stomach to be unbalanced, and I vomited whatever I ate, and finally almost died again.

Mu Yunyi heard the doctor tell the reason, and also saw that he had something on his mind, so he came to enlighten him: "Why are you living? Some people live for their parents, some people live for their wives and children, and some people have nothing. , Live for myself. I was kidnapped by a kidnapper, lost my memory, was alone, and fell into the house of a tiger and werewolf, but I have never been discouraged, because I live for myself, I want to live better, Let those who bully me and look down on me know that they are blind and lost their minds."

Qingluo closed her eyes, and said weakly: "I myself, what else is there to live for? All these years, I've been a walking dead. Dead or alive, they're all the same."

Mu Yunyi said: "You grew up in that kind of place. Although it's not good, it can be regarded as rich and well-clothed. Have you ever tasted what it's like to go hungry? I heard that the north is often harassed by Tartars. Yes, there are quite a few children like you and me who not only want to eat grass roots and chew bark, but also worry about being killed by tartars, and sometimes they may be killed by very hungry adults. , You have also read books, haven't you heard of the meaning of the four words Yiziershi?" He came to the bed, held Qingluo's head, made him open his eyes, and looked at him Looking at each other, "Have you ever thought about supporting yourself with your own ability and living a normal life in the future?"

Qingluo smiled bitterly: "My heart is higher than the sky, as a lowly person, I can only be a good citizen in my next life."

"That's not necessarily the case! The so-called planning is up to man, but God is up to it. If you don't fight for everything, you give up. How can it be achieved? An Xiaobei, do you know? He used to be from your place, and he lived with you for the same time. Now that you have your own household registration and become a normal householder, why can’t you do it? Xiaobei is gentle and kind, and has a kind heart. He doesn’t get carried away when he is in good times, and he doesn’t despair when he is in adversity. That’s what makes him what he is today. You will see him in the future Just know."

Qingluo used to stand on the north tower of the Changchun Courtyard and look at the backyard of the teahouse. When Chen Hexuan was there, they met each other again, and they had a certain impression of An Xiaobei. After hearing what Mu Yunyi said, she couldn't help asking: "I also Can you be like him?"

"Of course I can!" Mu Yunyi said, "Although Chen Hexuan is a sentimental beast, there are still some advantages. This is very possible. You think that if others don't treat you as a human being, life is meaningless. In fact, it was because you were a vassal of others in the past. If you could not be independent, you had to be supported by others for basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. When others took care of you, you felt happy; Anger, sorrow and joy are all on others, this is called a slave mind! From now on, you will listen to me in everything, earn money to support yourself, spend what you earn, spend more when you earn more, spend less when you earn less, and spend less when you earn less! You no longer depend on people for basic necessities, food, shelter, and transportation, so naturally you don’t have to care about other people’s attitude.”

Qingluo thought for a while, felt what he said made sense, and sighed slightly: "Since that's the case, I'll give it a try. But I'm ashamed to say that since I was in elementary school, I have always used methods to please men. Apart from these, I really don't know How to make a living."

"Nonsense! Even if Xiao Bei and the others are a buddy, they can rely on their own hands to earn enough food and clothing! Don't you want to be a buddy? Don't you like this kind of rough job of serving tea and water to others?"

Qing Luo shook her head: "If it turns out... what am I now? Thousands of people ride, ten thousand step on, and then be abandoned like a wild dog, it is already the most humble and despicable, how can I look down on others What? I'm just afraid I can't do it well."

"You can do it! You must be able to do it well." Mu Yunyi said, "That's it, you first recover from your injuries and your health, and then you will have capital. When the time comes, you will work as a clerk in my shop, won't you? Tea ceremony? Do it for a while first, I will give you three silver coins every month, including food and housing, and I will write down the medicine money for you these days. When you earn money, it will be deducted from your salary. Do it for a while Time, if you do a good job, I will add money to you. If you don’t do a good job, you can chop firewood and sweep the floor in the backyard. You know what it’s like to earn a sum of hard-earned money by yourself, even if it’s only a penny, it’s better than paying someone else for drinking and sleeping, and getting 1000 taels of gold from others.”

Hearing what he said, Qingluo's eyes were brightened, and she was no longer as dead as before: "Then... I'll try."

With hope in his heart, he was no longer as desperate as before, and found the source again like a pool of stagnant water. Coupled with Mu Yunyi's careful conditioning, his body improved day by day.

Soon, it will be August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chinese people have always attached great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the beginning, the Dragon Boat Festival was celebrated at Ma’s house. The north is not as keen on the Dragon Boat Festival as the south. I bought some rice dumplings and tied colorful threads, that’s all. In contrast, the Mid-Autumn Festival is much more lively, and even the business in the teahouse is affected. Many people have celebrated the festival with their families since the morning, Mu Yunyi It was also announced in advance that the teahouse will be closed in the afternoon and everyone will have a day off.

As the shopkeeper and the head of the family, Mu Yunyi has the responsibility and obligation to lead everyone to have a lively festival, which is very important to improve everyone's morale and work efficiency in the future.

As soon as the time passed, the teahouse announced that it was closed, and the guys were given a holiday. They could go out and play casually for half a day, and then went to Pine Forest Street for dinner in the afternoon.These guys are all winking, how dare they treat themselves as uncles, and go to eat at some point, they just strolled around the market, chipped in the money to buy chicken, duck, fish, and six packs of moon cakes, and brought them to Pine Forest Street.

Mu Yunyi looked at it and felt a little embarrassed: "I wanted to give you mooncakes, but why did you give them to me instead?"

After a few words of politeness from everyone, Mu Yunyi asked them to come in and sit down. They all declined, rolled up their arms and sleeves, and started to work. Those who boiled hot water, those who cleaned fish, those who picked vegetables, and those who chopped firewood were extremely proficient.

Today is the holiday, the school is also on holiday, Gao Yiqing and the others are all at home, Mu Yunyi gave them five Wen each, bought some delicious and fun things, and ran wildly in the yard.

Mu Yunyi was also very happy to see the lively people in this yard, so he went to Zuixianlou to pick up Qingluo.

Seeing him coming and going to the house for the festival, Qingluo's expression was obviously relaxed, and she poured a cup of tea first: "Sit down for a while, let me pack up." Then she started to pack up the utensils she used.

Mu Yunyi wondered, "Why are you packing up?"

Qingluo said: "Since I'm your guy, there's no reason to stay here anymore. I only earn three renminbi a month. I can't afford to live in the upper house of Zuixianlou."

Mu Yunyi said: "Before Chen Hexuan left, he had already greeted Shopkeeper Weng, saying that you can live here forever."

Qing Luo said: "That's always outrageous, I'd better go with you, didn't you say you wanted to pay for my food and lodging?"

Seeing that he persisted, Mu Yunyi stopped saying anything: "I only have a large kang with bunks in my place, as long as you can get used to it."

Qingluo laughed at herself: "I'm not the son of a giant merchant, the young master in the prince's mansion, I'm not even as good as the children in the crop yards, even the stables and pigpens, I can live there."

When he came out of the Changchun Courtyard, all the accessories on his body, including gold crowns and jade pendants, were left behind by his father in the garden, and he followed Chen Hexuan out with ease. When he arrived here, Chen Hexuan made two sets of clothes for him. That's all, so I quickly finished packing, made a small package, and held it in my hand: "Little shopkeeper, let's go."

Seeing him like this, Mu Yunyi also felt a little sad: "Let's go, as long as you work hard, everything will be fine!"

Mu Yunyi checked out the house with Shopkeeper Weng, and took him back to his home on Songlin Street. When he entered, Gao Yiqing bumped his head into his arms, almost bumping Mu Yunyi. Gao Yiqing was playing with his friends. Wrong person, hurriedly said: "Brother Yuan Bao, I'm sorry."

Mu Yunyi squeezed his face with his hands, widened his eyes, and said viciously: "You kid has swallowed up your ambition and swallowed the guts of a leopard, and you dare to hit me! Looking back, I won't grab your mooncakes!" A child said, "Everyone come here to meet people, this is Brother Qingluo."

He pulled the six children over and introduced them to Qingluo one by one: "This is my younger brother Xiaowu, this is my godson Dabao, these two are my students, Chunshi and Qiushi, this is Brother Yichun's cousin Mo Xiang, this is Xiao Wu's good friend Xiao Dao Mang."

Because it was the first time they met, a few children came over and greeted Qingluo as taught by the master in the academy. Qingluo also paid respects in order according to their seniority. Mu Yunyi looked at it with a headache: "Okay, okay , you guys go and play, Qingluo, let's go into the house."

Most of the people are busy in the kitchen, Gao Yichun is doing stir-fry, Gao Xue is braised and stewed, An Xiaobei is serving dishes, Jiang Chunshui is making water table, Gao Yitian is making noodle table, Qu Chi and Bai Wa are in charge of picking and washing vegetables, Xia Huan and Bai Yumin were chopping firewood and lighting the fire, and they were both doing it in full swing.

Mu Yunyi brought Qingluo in, because it was not time to talk, so he took him to the outer room of the east room first: "This is the room of their children, you can sit here for a while, and wait for a while to eat. "

Qing Luo let go of her burden: "I'll go out to help too, I can't do the cooking, but I can still wash the dishes."

Mu Yunyi said: "No, no, let them do it, let's sit here and have a conversation, and when my two apprentices come back from buying dim sum, you can help put together platters and match bowls, that's all."
