Grandpa is not vegetarian

When he came back from dinner, Gao Yichun really brought him back a steamed bun, the size of a fist, steamed with coarsely ground cornmeal, and a lump of salty cucumbers marinated in miso was tightly stuffed in the hole.

Mu Yunyi took the cornbread and looked at it for a moment: "You guys also ate this in the upper house?"

Gao Yichun went out to fetch firewood to burn the kang, Gao Yiqing helped scoop water into the pot, and replied after hearing the sound: "Yes, grandma gave it to three adults and one child, but there is a pot of cabbage soup, I can't bring it for you. "

Mu Yunyi asked again: "Is there any limit to eating this cornbread? Your brother also eats one?"

Gao Yiqing said: "My brother is now able to work in the fields, and he can get two cornbreads. He has already eaten one. This one is said to be eaten in the room, so I brought it back for you." After scooping up the water, he covered the pot and left. Entering the back room, "Brother Yuanbao, eat quickly, or it will be cold in a while."

"These days, your brother gave me a cornbread for every meal?" Seeing Gao Yiqing nodding, Mu Yunyi's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she put the cornbread on the edge of the kang, lying on the kang so sad that she couldn't say no speak out.

Gao Yiqing climbed up and held the cornbread with his hand: "Brother Yuanbao, what's wrong with you? You are eating." Children are the most sensitive, and seeing Mu Yunyi like that, tears are also in tears.

At this time, Gao Yichun came in with firewood. It was not a serious firewood, but a kind of wild Artemisia over one meter high. After drying, it was used to burn the kang. After coughing a few times, he didn't see anything unusual in the room, so he closed the aisle door between the inner and outer rooms, and lit a fire in the outer room alone.

Gao Yiqing continued to let Mu Yunyi eat cornbread with tears in his voice. Mu Yunyi sighed: "This is too dry. I'll eat it with water when your brother boils it. Let's put it here first."

Gao Yiqing laughed through his tears: "Then you are not allowed to go back on your word, my brother said, if you don't eat, you won't live long, you have to lie down and die like grandpa." He was repeatedly asked by Mu Yunyi Guaranteed, he put the cornbread on the edge of the kang again without worry, and then ran to the outer room to help Gao Yichun light the fire.

The temperature in the kang gradually rises and spreads through the mats, making people feel warm all over. There is no mattress in this house, only a big quilt that is as hard as a board, which is made of two cotton mattresses. Mu Yun Wing Wow was thinking about how to change the status quo.

Gao Yichun stopped the fire, and came in with a bowl of hot water. Mu Yunyi had no choice but to break up the steamed buns and soak them in it, stir them into porridge with those chopped salty cucumbers, and drank it in small sips.

Seeing that he was willing to eat, Gao Yichun's worried face calmed down: "As long as you can eat, you will get better slowly in the future."

At night, the three children slept side by side on the kang, covered with an old quilt. Originally, Mu Yunyi wanted to put Gao Yiqing in the middle, but the child refused to let him say anything: "You are sick, brother said You can't catch cold, the two of us will warm you up from both sides, and you will recover quickly."

Mu Yunyi protested a few times, seeing that he refused to do anything, so let it go.

There is no pajamas in this era, and children from poor families don’t wear obscene pants. They are all naked. The two brothers’ hot bodies on the left and right are close together. Mu Yunyi’s first feeling is that they are too thin !

Gao Yiqing was in relatively good condition, his arms and legs were a bit tender, while Gao Yichun could be described as skinny, his shoulder blades were sticking out of his hands, and there was a piece of skin covering his ribs. Mu Yunyi touched his stomach again , not even half full.

Gao Yichun was tickled by his touch, and grabbed his wrist with a smile: "Yuanbao, what are you doing?"

On Mu Yunyi's body was a white cloud brocade tunic, which was originally worn by his body, so that he would not be forced to choose the first level of sleep. He sighed again, drew his hand back, and turned to lie on his back: "You guys Is there any lively place?"

Gao Yichun thought for a while: "It's in the town. But it's more than ten miles away from our Shangqinghe Village. Are you going?"

"Well, I'm going to town tomorrow."

"What are you going to do?" Gao Yichun keenly felt that Mu Yunyi was not just bored and wanted to go out to play.

Mu Yunyi said sullenly: "I'm going to see if there is any way to make money, or I will starve to death here sooner or later."

Gao Yichun was silent, Gao Yiqing turned his head and asked: "Brother Yuanbao, are you not full today? Then starting tomorrow, I will save half of the cornbread and bring it back for you, okay? Don't go to town, tell you , there is Pai Hanako on this road, Xiao Hua was abducted by Pai Hanako last year."

Mu Yunyi patted his little face in the dark: "Money, it's not saved, no matter how you save it, it's a little bit, the money is earned, don't worry, I will be careful, and I just go Look, I'll be back tonight."

"How about, how many days later are you late? I have to collect firewood for my family these days. I will try to get it as quickly as possible and pile up the pile at the door. Then I will take you to the town together. If we can make money, we will go to the town together." earn."

Gao Yiqing also said: "Yes, yes, brother has to collect a pile of firewood before the first snow falls, or grandma will scold you, brother Yuanbao, just wait a few more days, when the time comes, my brother and I Let's protect you together."

The two brothers tried to persuade them again and again, but Mu Yunyi had already made up his mind. He couldn't live a day in this kind of life, even if it was a bit hard, but he still had to be angry. He was the one who couldn't bear to be wronged when he grew up so big. , so no matter what, I have to go out and look around tomorrow, get rid of this pile of pieces, and find a way to get money, otherwise, let him stay here every day, he might as well die!

The next day, Mu Yunyi went out early. Gao Yichun and his brothers were both children and slept hard. He went to the ground lightly, without disturbing them at all. He had already put his clothes on the kang yesterday, and asked Gao Yichun Know how to wear.

He wore this clothes with him back then, either Yunjin or Suzhou embroidery, not to mention ordinary landlords, even rich and powerful businessmen may not have seen it before.At the beginning, the couple with Gaoxue certificates even proposed to pawn the clothes for money, but Gao Xuejie, who is a scholar, stopped him, saying that it would not look good to change his children into coarse clothes as soon as they entered our house, and what's more, in the future, the adults When I found it, I was afraid that I would also feel dissatisfied. Later, because I was busy with the autumn harvest, I put it on the back of my mind, so I kept it.

Gao Yichun washed everything from the brocade robe to the socks. There was a sapphire blue fringed belt around his waist, and a pair of buckskin boots on his feet. The child's hair was not long at all, so he tied it up casually with a piece of thick cloth, then quietly opened the door and walked out.

At this time, winter is approaching, and the winter is beginning to appear in the morning, and just went out, and the air-conditioning rushed to the face, and immediately shivered, looking at the walls and the ground outside, all covered with a layer of white frost crystals, Mu Yunyi took a deep breath In two breaths, he went to remove the pin of the gate and walked out.

This was his first morning in ancient times, and it was so cold that his teeth were chattering. He followed the direction Gao Yichun said last night, and ran towards the town with his two legs.

He was already weak, and he didn't eat in the morning, and after running for a while, he soon sweated profusely, and his eyes were full of gold stars, so he had to squat on the side of the road to rest for a while, or else he would not wait until he had finished walking more than ten miles. He was about to pass out first.

I was enjoying the "Ancient Village Map" with relish, and an ox cart came out of the village. It was a very majestic old ox, and there was a stack of dry branches on the flatbed cart behind it. A 50-year-old man was sitting on the front box The little old man drove over slowly.

Mu Yunyi took a few deep breaths, and tried to put on the cutest look: "Old man, where are you going?"

When the old man saw him, he stopped the car and said with a smile, "You are the young man picked up by the Gao family, right?"

Mu Yunyi quickly waved his hands: "I'm not some young master. My name is Mu Yunyi, and my nickname is Yuanbao. Old man, what do I call you?"

The old man said: "My surname is Niu, you can call me Uncle Niu, that's what Yichun's child calls me. It's early in the morning, you don't sleep in the house, what are you doing out here?"

Mu Yunyi bowed to the other party: "Uncle Niu, I want to go to the town, can you give me a short walk?"

Boss Niu was startled after hearing this: "Are you going to the town alone? Does the Gao family know?"

"I know I know." Does Gao Yichun count as Gao's family?Mu Yunyi felt a little guilty, "They don't care about me, I can go wherever I like. Uncle, is it okay, if you don't pick me up, I will walk by myself."

"It's not impossible to take you for a while, but I'm going to the county town. If you want to go to the town, I can only take you to the intersection ahead, and you have to walk the rest of the way."

"Go to the county town? That's okay." The more people there are, the more opportunities to make money. Mu Yunyi's plans for the future are somewhat clear, and he said happily, "Uncle, then I will go to the county, you take me go."

Climb into the bullock cart and walk slowly towards the county town. Mu Yunyi chatted with Boss Niu. The main reason was to clarify that although this world is also called the Ming Dynasty and the founding emperor was also named Zhu, there are still many discrepancies with history. In addition, many place names and customs are also different. Boss Niu is quite talkative. Mu Yunyi mentioned a few historical celebrities, such as Guan Yu, Yue Fei, etc. He knows some deeds.

Boss Niu also asked him about his situation in Gao's house, and Mu Yunyi told the truth: "They pawned off the gold collar that I brought with me, but they didn't give me food, and I got brother Chun from his house every day. I saved a wotou from the ration, and left my household registration in their Gao family, waiting for my family to find them in the future and make a big fortune." He pulled the clothes on his body, "Look, uncle Seeing that it’s winter, I still have this set of clothes, and they force me to work, so I won’t be frozen to death in the future? I was pushed down the steps by his four boys, and they were reluctant to pay for a doctor. I didn’t die yet, so let Brother Yichun drag me to the mass grave and throw it away, uncle, let me tell you, I’m going to the county town to beg for food this time, otherwise if I stay in their house all the time, I’ll be trampled to death sooner or later!”

After listening to him, Boss Niu sighed silently and remained silent.
