Grandpa is not vegetarian

When it was about dawn, Gao Yichun was sweating all over, and finally his fever completely subsided. In addition to embroidering his purse, he used a wet towel to wipe Gao Yichun's forehead and palms and soles in the middle of the night. county seat.

Mu Yunyi went outside to get firewood and came back to boil water to wash. Gao Yichun was awakened and tentatively called, "Yuanbao, are you in the outhouse?"

Mu Yunyi quickly approached: "Brother Yichun, you're awake! Have you slept enough? How do you feel? Don't move! Just lie down."

Gao Yichun was confused about the situation: "My leg..."

"Your leg has been checked by Master Jiang in the town. Don't move it for a few days, but take care of it. I will take you to a follow-up visit in a few days. You must not move it in the wrong place, or you will become disabled in the future. A lifetime is ruined."

Gao Yichun was full of words, and all he could say was: "Thank you, Yuan Bao, without you, I really couldn't live without you, and there is only Xiao Wu..." His eyes were red again as he spoke.

"Don't thank me. I did something behind your back yesterday. I don't know what you're thinking." He took out the land deed, house deed, and household registration documents, "I made the decision for you yesterday and told you to nurse them." After the family is separated, I want to come back to these two houses and [-] acres of land." He was still a little apprehensive, after all, the ancient people valued the country and filial piety, and their way of thinking was different from his own.

Gao Yichun took the contract documents and groped with his hands: "I can't read or read, as long as you understand, this house and land were all bought back by your gold collar, otherwise..." He was as smart as ice and snow. Without Mu Yunyi's elaboration, he guessed what happened, and tears rolled down his eyes, "They will definitely kick me out. I have worked so hard these years, and they still think Xiao Wu is a burden. Now My leg is broken, they won't take money to treat it, and it will be even more burdensome when I become paralyzed in the future. It's okay to separate. In the past, I wanted to take Xiao Wu out of this house and go outside. Even begging is better than here. It's just that I can't support Xiaowu, and I won't be able to find a wife for him in the future, and no one will burn incense in front of the graves of my parents tomorrow, so I still have thirty acres of land." He pushed back the contract document, "Yuanbao , this house and land belong to you, so treat it as a tenant and plant it for me..."

"What are you talking about!" Mu Yunyi interrupted him angrily, "Why did you tell me so clearly? Do you mean that I should also count out the rations you gave me when you picked me back?"

Gao Yichun shook his head: "Yuanbao, you didn't understand what I meant. You came from a rich family. In the future, your family will definitely look for you to go back. You can't stay in the Gao family forever. These lands belong to you..."

"Who says I can't stay in this house forever!" Mu Yunyi took the household registration documents and pointed them to him, "It says here that there are three children in Gao's family, Gao Yichun is the eldest, Gao Yiqing is the third, and Gao Yiqing is the third. The second Gao Yining is me. I am also a member of this family now. Why do you always treat me as an outsider? Today I will explain clearly to you that I have no family. My family is you and my little one. Five, even if someone comes to pick me up in the future, I will not go back! Unless..."

"Unless what?" Gao Yichun's eyes were still a little bright at the previous words, but he became visibly nervous later.

Mu Yunyi put his arms around Gao Yichun's shoulders: "Unless you don't want me anymore, drive me out with a broom!"

Gao Yichun was stunned: "How is that possible! It's just...if your biological parents come to find you..."

"I don't have biological parents! Anyway, I don't remember anything now. They know me, but I don't know him. I won't go with strangers. You put your heart in your stomach. As long as you want, I will stay with you." You'll live forever." He patted Gao Yichun's stomach, then pinched his face and said, "Hey, stop thinking about it, you sweat a lot, I'll wipe it off for you."

He fetched hot water from the pot, soaked the towel, wrung it dry, and wiped Gao Yichun's body. The clothes on Gao Yichun's body were already in tatters. They were all torn by Mu Yunyi with scissors yesterday, so they are naked now Yes, he wanted to wipe it himself, but Mu Yunyi refused: "What you have to do now is to take good care of yourself, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Brother Yichun, our good days are yet to come."

After wiping, Mu Yunyi filled the pot with broth, soaked in the steamed buns and rolls bought in the county yesterday, and gave Gao Yichun to eat: "Last night, I invited those helpers to drink the pork and radish soup, and there was still some left over. , plus these steamed buns and flower rolls, it’s enough for you and Xiao Wu to eat for a day. When I’m about to leave, I’ll leave you another fifty renminbi to let Xiao Wu buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pots and pans. We're going to cook for ourselves, so we'll make do with it for the time being, and when I'm on vacation tomorrow, I'll add a few big items, and we'll get on with life."

After eating and washing his hands and face, Mu Yunyi first showed Gao Yichun the three purses he embroidered. Gao Yichun was very surprised, he had never seen Mu Yunyi doing needlework in front of him. : "This purse is embroidered better than Aunt Hua! Her needlework is sold in the town to subsidize the family. It is a big income every year. The girls in our village have a lot of handicrafts from her. It’s much better to collect eggs alone during the New Year’s festival, Yuan Bao, can you teach me how to do this?”

"Not good." Mu Yunyi shook his head, "It's shameful for a man to do this after all. It makes people pay attention to it behind the scenes. It's enough to have me in our family. It's okay if you just like it, but you are doing it to make money. Forget it, we have other sources of money, we don’t want you to embroider this every day.” Seeing Gao Yichun’s eyes darken, he couldn’t bear it, “Brother Yichun, you still have more important things to learn. I thought about it, now our family has 30 acres of land, which can produce almost [-] taels of silver every year, plus the money I earn, it is enough for us to spend, and there is quite a surplus, so I am thinking about letting you and Xiaowu go study."

"What?" Gao Yichun stood there in a daze. The status of intellectuals in this era is unimaginably high. Just a person is called Wenqu Xingxia, a scholar has all kinds of privileges, and there is one liter of rice every day for white-collar workers. Gao Yichun In the past, when I watched my two older brothers and younger uncles study, I felt envious in my heart. I just knew that my grandma would never allow me and my younger brother to go to school, so I could only secretly envy myself, and I didn't dare to have such "indiscriminate differences." Thinking, now that I heard that Mu Yunyi wants to go to school by myself, I haven't been relieved for a long time, "Yuanbao, I am so old, I am stupid, and I can't read well. You should go, you can already read If you can, take Xiao Wu with you, don't go to the county seat, go study with Xiao Wu, and I will plant the [-] acres of land for you."

"Of course I want to read it too, but I don't have to go to a private school together. You both have to read it too. Whether you succeed or not, you have to try it to know. When one of you really doesn't read well, then focus on farming, or do something else." To make a living, you still need to read books, and at least you must be able to read and write. We will take the exam together in the next year. Even if one of them passes the exam, our family will be exempted from taxes, and no one will dare to bully us anymore. In [-], you will be a young adult, and our family does not have a scholar, so you have to serve in corvée, and if there is any good or bad, what can we do?"

"But... thirty mu of land may not be enough..."

"Enough is enough! You don't have to worry about money, good boy, you just need to take care of your injury now, and I will take care of the rest!" He took the burden over, "Let me show you, I have everything for the three of us." Done." He showed Gao Yichun all three sets of clothes, "How is it? Do you like it?"

"This... it will cost a lot of money, right?" Gao Yichun touched the clothes with some timidity, "You and Xiao Wu can just wear it, and I can still wear my suit, you can sell this..."

"What can I wear? Your suit is leaking everywhere. I shredded it with scissors yesterday! Just wear this suit! I'll buy another set in a few days, and then I can wear the two suits interchangeably. , I will put mine on right now." As Mu Yunyi said, he really took off the brocade clothes he was wearing, and put on a newly bought one from inside to outside, with twin purses on his head. Wearing a landlord's hat, also known as a melon skin hat, people in the Ming Dynasty have hair buns, unlike people in the Qing Dynasty who wear braids. The melon skin hats are taller and divided into six petals. They are not directly buckled on the brain, and they look much better than the later ones. Now, I put on a cloak outside and tied the silk ribbon of the lantern fringe, looking energetic and capable, "How about it? Do you think I'm handsome?"

Mu Yunyi stretched out his arms and spun around on the ground twice, Gao Yichun said with a smile: "Yuanbao is the most beautiful."

"That's right! Brother Yichun, you have to smile more, don't always frown, I look cute when you smile." He took out half a bunch of money and threw it on the kang, carried a treasure bag on his back, and strode forward with a pair of knives Just go outside, "I'm going to start work, and I'll bring you and Xiao Wu some delicious food when I come back in the evening!"

When he walked into the courtyard, he saw Sifang Luo coming out to fetch water. He turned around and walked back, took out the broken jade knife, hung it on the top of the door frame with a rope, and shouted loudly to the room: "Little Wu, Show me, who dares to walk under my murderous knife today, and tell me when I come back, I will take you to use this knife to kill them all at night!" After finishing speaking, he gave Luo Shi a fierce look.

The two-foot-long blade of the broken jade knife hangs upside down at the door, shaking and shining brightly. Luo Shi's heart trembles when he sees it. It's fetching water outside.

Only then did Mu Yunyi walk out of Gao's mansion happily, and when he went to the village entrance to look at the side, it was still a triangle. This was a secret signal between him and Uncle Niu. Arranged in a square so that he can run wildly and chase from behind, Mu Yunyi is also helpless. Is there an accurate clock in this era? The uncle missed it, so he came up with such a way.

He squatted at the entrance of the village, waited for a while, and saw Uncle Niu driving a car, staggering towards the brilliance of the morning sun.
