Grandpa is not vegetarian

Mu Yunyi only lectures for three hours a day, and the rest is a lot of free time. Apart from copying books, he just does needlework. He can't do big ones, but small ones are okay.Gao Yichun couldn't get off the ground, and when his legs got better and the weather was warmer, he didn't need cotton socks, so he made two pairs for himself and Gao Yiqing. Cotton socks are a must.

Now he gave the two pairs for Gao Yiqing to the brothers of the Ji family: "This was originally for Xiao Wu. I will wear it for you today, and I will make it for him later." The brothers quickly declined, and Mu Yunyi forced them to Put it on, "put it on, it's not worth a lot of money, I heard Xiao Wu said that your family lives in the west of the village, you can't go in from here, don't frostbite your feet, the body is the capital of learning, take good care of your body, study Talent is good, study hard in the future, and when you have the ability, come and repay me.”

He took another half catty of cotton wool into the shoebox and asked the brothers to put it on: "I won't keep you, it's dark and the road is slippery, you two walk slowly, and say hello to your parents for me when you get home."

Wiping away their tears, the two brothers put the ten pages of the "Three Character Classic" that Mu Yunyi had copied for them into their chests, walked to the door, and bowed to Mu Yunyi together: "Thank you, brother Yuanbao. "Then they both got into the howling north wind.

Ma Le and Mo Xiang were close, so they didn't rush to leave. They continued to review the books with Gao Yichun and Gao Yiqing, recited what they learned today, put out 120 points of energy, and desperately imprinted it into their minds.

At dinner time, Ma Le and Mo Xiang refused to stay for another meal, holding their own ten pages of "Three Character Classics" and ran away in the same way.

When these people went home, they encountered different situations. When the Ji brothers came in the morning, they carried frozen tofu and dried vegetables. Their mother, Gao Chunhua, planned to let them eat at Gao Yichun's place. After all, it was freezing cold. , the child is young, and running back and forth is really a crime. His father, Ji Baogen, is a kind man: "The child Yichun just separated, and I heard that the old lady Gao didn't leave him a handful of millet, and the three children's rations are not available. , how can the two of us go eat for free again."

Gao Chunhua was not happy: "How can it be considered as a free meal? How much is a catty of tofu now? In addition to the three and a half catties of dried vegetables, at least it is worth ten yuan, not enough for two children's rations? I want to take advantage of the children, but it’s snowing heavily now, can you bear to let the children toss around? I will let them carry their things every other day or two, it is considered good, enough for four children to eat.”

Ji Baogen couldn't say that he was a daughter-in-law, so he only complained: "You can figure it out." Then he stopped talking.

Old man Ji was smoking dry tobacco there. The conditions of their family were really bad. The eldest son just passed away the year before last, and the family guarded 24 acres of land. He and the youngest son were the only two strong laborers, and they had no skills, except for farming. , doing odd jobs every year, living a tight life, leaving two daughters-in-law and three granddaughters, all of which are useless, and there are no job opportunities in the remote villages. Even if they do a little needlework, they don’t have Gao Xuehong’s skills. Take it out and no one buys it.

Old man Ji treasures his two grandchildren, and cherishes this opportunity very much: "Although we say that, we won't let Yichun lose money. After all, there is a little evil star in their family. I don't know what it is when I come back from the city today." Situation, even my grandmother scolded her, even my uncle chopped it off, will he settle the account with you? If one is not good, you will never be able to go in the future. If you follow me, let’s just do it today. If you haven’t come back, you should still be able to learn. Go back and ask them, the temper of the little evil star, as long as the child can continue to study, even if it is necessary to give some repairs, our family doesn’t have too much, so tighten your pants A belt, you can save a hundred coppers a month. As for lunch, don’t make any calculations. It would be a pity if you offend the little evil star, and you will go to Gao’s house to kill them both at noon. Pick it up, send it over after eating, and live in a village anyway, so it’s not too far away.”

Gao Chunhua has nothing to say, after all, Mu Yunyi's reputation is too fierce, killing her uncle with a knife is almost like cannibalism in this era. She came out, but she was afraid that people would not explain this to her, so she hummed depressingly, and chopped the knife on the cutting board loudly.

As soon as it got dark outside, the whole family couldn't sit still and kept looking out. The eldest daughter-in-law Niu Siniang even ran outside and looked east: "Why haven't they come back? Will they offend that little Sha?" Xing, was he chopped off with a knife?"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Old man Ji spat out three mouthfuls of thick phlegm, "Don't just gossip around there, curse my grandson! Didn't they both wait until it was completely dark to come back the other two days? Don't worry! What!"

But today is different from the past. Even the old man Ji is not at ease when the little evil star returns home. Go and have a look, when you arrive at Gao's house, talk to that little evil star, don't choke him, it's not easy to find a place to study..."

He murmured, and before Ji Baogen went out, the younger brothers had already returned, the two mothers hurried over to carry the child into the house, looked up and down, and saw that there were no bruises or knife marks, so they were a little relieved: "How is today? The little fiend didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"Brother Yuanbao is not a little evil star!" Yinsuo corrected his mother loudly, "Brother Yuanbao is alright, he baked spring pancakes for us, and gave us socks..." As he spoke, he was a little choked up again, and he carefully moved from He took out ten pages of warm paper from his bosom, "Look, Brother Yuan Bao copied this for us, and he said he would copy it for us later, and when we finish learning, we can staple it into a book."

The Ji family members were all dumbfounded: "Didn't the little evil star beat and scold you?"

Jin Suo said, "No, as soon as we entered the house, Brother Yuan Bao asked us to take off our shoes and burn all the hay inside..."

"What? Then you are going to freeze! You little evil star!" Gao Chunhua took off her son's Yinsuo shoes anxiously, and found that the grass inside was gone, but there was a lot of snow-white cotton, and her son He was still wearing socks on his feet, "This...is this a sock?" The Ji family has never worn this thing from top to bottom!

"It's socks. Brother Yuanbao gave them to Xiao Wu. They have cotton inside, so they are warm. He was afraid that we would be cold, so he gave them to us." Jin Suo took off the socks and showed them to his mother, "Brother Yuanbao is not a little girl. Fiend, don't call me that in the future."

Gao Chunhua and the others focused their attention on the socks, while old man Ji held the ten pages of the "Three Character Classic", almost crying with excitement, "Our family also has books! We will also have scholars in the future!"

Books are truly a luxury in this day and age. In the county town, a book costs [-] Wen, and it takes them half a year to get it together. If you copy it yourself, you need a lot of paper money. Just these ten pages Paper is five renminbi, one liter of corn is four renminbi, and one liter of millet is six renminbi. It is conceivable that just ten pages of ordinary paper have such a status in such a peasant household!

Yinsuo was more clever, and he recounted today's experience with joy, and was even more surprised and speechless when he heard that what they ate at Gao's house today were spring pancakes, bacon and fried shredded potatoes.

Ji Baogen could only mutter to himself: "Good man! Really good man!"

Gao Chunhua confirmed with the two children again and again that everything was done by the little evil star, not Gao Yichun. She felt incredible, but also worried: "The price of fine cotton cloth has increased a lot this year, and two pairs of socks like this are worth a lot of money." It’s worth [-] Wen, and you ate cakes at someone’s house again, white flour costs [-] Wen a liter, and potatoes this year..."

The old man Ji said: "I didn't expect the ingot to be like this, so we all missed it." He said to Ji Baogen, "Tomorrow you take the two children to Gao's house, and I will take a hundred dollars from the New Year's money. Wen for you, buy some sweet tea and snacks, send them over, and let Jinsuo and Yinsuo pay homage to Mr.

Gao Chunhua said, "Father, I heard that Yuan Bao is only ten years old this year."

"What's wrong with being ten years old? He's learned! He can read and break characters, and he can write and copy books. He has such a human nature. After Jinsuo and Yinsuo worshiped Mr., the relationship will be different. He will definitely teach them both carefully." , I don't ask them to be a scholar, as long as they can write and count, and go out to do things in the future, don't let people be fooled, cheated, I will be Amitabha!"

Yinsuo said: "Grandpa, brother Yuanbao is going to the city tomorrow, and when he comes back, it will be dark again."

Old man Ji took two more puffs of his cigarette: "Then wait until he's home next time, and you can go to Yichuna tomorrow and get some more things."

At the same time, this kind of scene was also happening in the other two places. The Ma family was better. After all, Ma Le and Mu Yunyi had met several times, and they even went to the town to send Gao Yichun to see Master Jiang for treatment of his leg injury. Le said that Mu Yunyi was quite surprised to give things to the Ji family brothers in the end. The two families lived across the wall. When Mu Yunyi slashed people with knives and jumped to swear in the street, they all saw it with their own eyes. Fierceness and toughness are deeply understood. When Ma Le went to study, Aunt Ma also reminded her: "If you have something to do, just talk to Yi Chun, and don't provoke that little evil star."

As for going to the house, there was quite a stir because no one expected that Mu Yunyi would copy ten pages of paper for Mo Xiang to bring back.

Bai Lianhua pinched her fingers and counted: "This kind of paper is pretty good. It's different from straw paper. Every two sheets cost one penny, ten sheets are five pennies, and three copies are fifteen pennies! That little bastard is so generous. I gave out fifteen cents!"

Gao Yizheng looked at the writing on it, and was amazed: "That kid can write such a good handwriting!"

Tong asked her son suspiciously: "Is this a good word?"

Gao Yizheng said: "Even if it is our husband, we can't write such characters!"

Gao Yizhi sneered beside him, expressing his disdain.
