Grandpa is not vegetarian

Chapter 40 Young Master Xia

The next day, after breakfast, Ma Le, Mo Xiang, and the Ji family brothers came to class as usual. He always taught according to the progress of Gao Yichun and Gao Yiqing. There were only eight pages left in the Three Character Classic, so they lived in the city during this time , I couldn't come back, or else I would have finished speaking.

However, the children are very hardworking, and they can't learn anything new, so they review what they have learned. Ma Le and his brothers follow Gao Yichun to make up what they haven't learned, and catch up with the progress. Mu Yun Yi took out Gao Yichun and his brother Gao Yichun who had taught before to test, and Ma Le and the others were able to recognize, recite, and clearly explain the allusions of each sentence, which made Mu Yunyi sigh inwardly.

It took him two days to explain the eight-page paper, and the entire Three-Character Classic was completed. On the day of Xiaonian, there was a holiday, and every family worshiped the stove and cleaned the dust, and had to do their hair. The ancients also had to trim their hair, not from birth. When you die, don't cut a single one. On the contrary, you need to take care of it from time to time to make it neat and orderly.

Mu Yunyi saw that besides sweeping the dust, window grilles were also cut in the other houses, so he took out the red paper he bought in the city: "I'm not very good at cutting, who of you can cut this?"

Gao Yiqing said loudly: "My brother knows how to cut. I remember that when we were young, my brother cut the window grilles in our house."

Gao Yichun took the red paper and scissors, first folded it a few times, then clicked it, and cut it skillfully. After a while, he opened it, and then trimmed it in small places, and soon cut out a big red lantern. There is a tassel and a lotus base underneath, which looks very exquisite. Gao Yichun held it in one hand and showed it to everyone: "How is it?"

"Oh my God, this is simply an ingenious workmanship!" Mu Yunyi took the paper-cut and cheered in surprise, secretly thinking that it was a pity for Gao Yichun. If this handicraft is brought to the modern age, how can he earn the title of a national traditional artist? , better than the art teacher who taught me when I was in high school.

Gao Yichun felt a little complacent, and took another piece of red paper and cut it open: "My parents leave early, I live with Xiao Wu, there is no woman in the house, so I have to figure out everything by myself, such as Xiao Wu's pants It’s worn out, and it’s hard to ask someone to go to the house, so I have to make it for him. In fact, it’s not that I haven’t done needlework, I can do ordinary sewing and mending, but it’s really the first time making shoes.”

He cut four more. In addition to the lotus lantern at the beginning, he also cut a boy riding a fish, a magpie climbing a branch, and a pair of bulls facing each other. All of them were so exquisite that Mu Yunyi even wanted to let go of them. Get up and collect.

The window papers were all newly replaced this year. Although they were only the cheapest straw paper, they were all clean. There were four windows in total, two in the inner room and two in the outer room, all of which were pasted with paper-cuts.

The other rooms are also posted, only the one in the upper room is the best, which is comparable to Gao Yichun's. I guess it should be made by Gao Xuehong. Fang, that is, the Gaoxue Zhengjia who is opposite here, are exactly the same four old cows, and they are extremely simple, and the techniques are also very rough. Mu Yunyi looks worse than the works of elementary school students.

After looking at the paper-cuts in each room, Mu Yunyi was about to go back to the house when suddenly a middle-aged man came out from the upper room. He was wearing a neat robe, a scholar's scarf on his head, and a jade pendant with yellow tassels on his waist. There are only two members of Youyu in the family, one is Gao Xuecheng, the youngest son loved by the old lady, and the other is Gao Xuejie, the second son who has been admitted as a scholar.

He didn't intend to pay attention to the other party, turned around and was about to open the door to enter the room, but Gao Xuejie took the initiative to say: "You are the child Yuan Bao, right?"

Mu Yunyi turned around and said, "It's me, so you just learned from Brother Chun's second uncle, right?"

Gao Xuejie nodded elegantly: "I am Gao Xuejie, I have heard about you, alas, I was not at home that day, I did not expect to get this field, Saburo and Goro are young, third brother and My siblings are gone, how can I let them go out and set up their own families? These days, you three little ones have suffered too."

Mu Yunyi smiled and said: "It's not bitter, it's not bitter. Before we separated, we couldn't even eat enough. Brother Yichun eats two cornbreads every meal, save one for me. Xiao Wu is a cornbread, and he eats so thin It has become a reed stick, since we separated, we have lived a good life, not only can we eat refined rice and fine grains, but we can always eat some meaty meat and eggs. If it were the original, even if there were these, they would not fall into our mouths."

Gao Xuejie sighed and said: "In order to support me to study, my family has tightened their belts and eaten bran and swallowed vegetables, especially my two nephews, I know it all, alas! Fortunately, in the next two years, I don’t need to rush for the exam, and I negotiated with Yuanwai Hu who went to Qinghe the day before yesterday to sit at his house, and our family’s situation will be better in the future, and we have to compensate the two children Sanlang and Wulang.”

It was the first time Mu Yunyi dealt with him, and he was a bit confused about what he meant: "Brother Yichun and Xiao Wu are living a good life now, and they will live even better in the future..."

Before he could finish his sentence, five people came in suddenly from the courtyard gate, the leader was the Mr. Xia whom he had met a few days ago, with four strong servants by his side, rushing in in a hurry. Gao Xuejie, Xia Qi went straight to him, saw Mu Yunyi put his hand on the handle of the deer-cutting knife at his waist, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to find you!"

After the incident of the vicious dog blocking the road that day, Mu Yunyi also carried the deer-cutting knife on his waist when he was at home, and kept vigilant at all times to prevent the Gao family from attacking him suddenly. Seeing Xia Qi say this now, Still refusing to relax, he stepped back into the room holding the handle of the knife: "Since it has nothing to do with me, you can talk about it yourself."

Xia Qi smiled and said, "Don't rush away, maybe I'll have to find you out and break you up later!" Turning to Gao Xuejie, he yelled, "Second Uncle Gao, my nephew is being polite. Today I came here for nothing else, that is, your Erlang borrowed my dog ​​and has not yet returned it. I came to ask for it a few days ago, but he hid in the house and couldn’t come out. I can't reason with them, but now that you're back, I'll come over and ask, Second Uncle Gao, what kind of regulations do you have here, is it the same as those girls in your family?"

After hearing this, Gao Xuejie frowned, turned around and shouted into the big house, "Erlang! Erlang! Come out!"

He yelled four or five times in a row, and Gao Yizhi's daughter-in-law, Dou Jiao'e, came out of the door with a big belly: "Oh, second uncle, what's the matter? It's worth shouting like this? Erlang helped our grandma write something, what's the matter?" It’s the same as telling me.”

Gao Xue explained: "Did Erlang borrow Xia's dog?"

Dou Jiao'e nodded: "It's a good borrowing, but the dog's temper is too wild, and he didn't listen to Erlang's restraint. He was homesick and wanted to be with him, so he ran back halfway by himself."

Xia Qi sneered: "You're talking nonsense with your eyes open, when did that dog run back?"

Dou Jiao'e said with an innocent face: "That afternoon, when it was dark, Erlang was about to send the dog, but it untied the rope and ran home by itself. Erlang was afraid that it would get lost, so he followed him all the way. As for your family, you saw the dog jumping in from the outside of the big wall."

Xia Qi said with a livid face: "It's just nonsense! If that's the case, why didn't Erlang tell me at the time?"

Dou Jiao'e smiled: "I've been feeling sick in my stomach for the past few days. Erlang was worried about me, so he came back quickly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have borrowed a dog from you in this snowy world to go into the mountains to hunt pheasants and hares. It was getting dark and he was worried about me, so he came back in a hurry. He wanted to tell you the same thing the next day. After all, you have known each other for so long, and you are classmates again. Outside and inside are just a matter of a dog, and the world will be turned upside down."

Xia Qi couldn't say no to Dou Jiao'e. He was kicked out by others when he came last time. He was kicked out with a lot of talk and made a fuss. He knew very well how powerful the women in this courtyard are. This time, he got Madam Xia's advice. , I stopped talking to Dou Jiao'e, and just asked Gao Xuejie: ​​"Second Uncle Gao, you and I are both scholars and learned the etiquette of sages and sages. I only talk to you today. If you are unreasonable, you will let a group of girls talk to you." I'm messing around, so I'm leaving now, and I'll find another place to talk later!" After speaking, he made a gesture to leave.

Gao Xuejie called him back: "What are you anxious about, kid! It's never the Gao family's turn for a woman to head the house. I just wanted Erlang to come out to ask about the situation, but she came out." He shouted at Dou Jiao'e, "How can you speak here? Go back to the house and call Erlang out! Is it possible that my father and son should go in and invite me?"

Dou Jiao'e had no choice but to go back to find Gao Yizhi, and Gao Yizhi came out of the upper room after a long time: "Yushu, why are you here?"

"Why do I come here, don't you, Gao Erlang, know? Let's stop talking nonsense and just pay me!"

"Didn't your sister-in-law just say that the dog ran back by itself..."

Xia Qi sneered: "You said you ran back, but I didn't see it. This matter is a case without a head. I can only ask the villagers to come over and end it. If it doesn't work, I will go to the county government to resolve it! The so-called Choosing a day is worse than bumping into it, just today, my mule cart is ready!"

He stretched out his hand to grab Gao Yizhi and walked out. Gao Yizhi hurriedly said: "Yu Shu, why bother, but the matter of a dog is worth it. In the new year, you will sue me. You It's not too bad luck!"

"A dog is worthless, I'm just mad at you for playing me for a fool!" Xia Qi blushed and almost yelled, "You borrowed our dog to bite your little evil star, if If it really kills you, we want our Xia family to face a life lawsuit, and your Gao family will use his household registration to make an argument, and in turn sue us, to save face, and all the benefits will be given to your Gao family! Pooh! I'll tell you I have been classmates for several years, and if you treat me as a friend, you will harm me like this. If this happens, our Xia family will be ruined by you! Let me tell you Gao Yizhi, we don’t count today’s matter It's over! It's not over!"
