Grandpa is not vegetarian

Chapter 42 Sending New Year's Goods

Hearing Mu Yunyi's question, Gao Yichun looked at him and said, "So what kind of life am I living? With Xiao Wu, I have six corn buns a day, two bowls of pickled vegetable soup, and work around the house all the time. In the end, I still have nothing to eat. What kind of life are you living now? Eat fine grains, see meat every day, and most importantly, still have the opportunity to read and write. Do you think I would like to go back to the way I was before? It’s just my second uncle...he can’t It’s okay to let it go, firstly, the words of persecuting my nephew are really unpleasant to the neighbors, and secondly, we are living well now, and he is even more unwilling to let it go. I figured that the second aunt has not been able to bear children these years, so he must accept it. My concubine, since he hasn't taken the exam for two years, he probably won't be able to wait, not to mention the money in our hands, he won't let go of the [-] acres of land alone."

Gao Yiqing was very bluffed after hearing this: "Then what should we do? Brother Yuanbao, I don't want to live the same life as before. Even if it's almost okay to eat, I still want to study. If we go back, grandma will definitely not let us Those who study, now even the eldest brother is not allowed to study, how can we have our share." He was really anxious, and cried again while talking.

Mu Yunyi picked him up, sat on his lap, and wiped his tears: "Little Wu, don't cry, your brother Yuanbao will never let others bully you, and your brother, I will take good care of you." Yours, but also to raise you fat and fat, let alone your second uncle, your brother and I are not vegetarians!"

"Impossible." Gao Yichun shook his head, "Second Uncle is not as easy to deal with as Grandma, Fourth Uncle, and Sister-in-law. Second Uncle has been to the capital and met him. He is a scholar, so he can enter the county government office. Talking to the magistrate, if he wants to return his household registration, it is only a matter of a few words, and he looks kind on the surface, but in fact he is ruthless in his heart, Yuan Bao, don't use a knife in front of him."

"Do you think I still have to draw my sword now? Except for the dog that your second brother released that day, I haven't drawn my sword for a long time, right? Force is only the worst method. At the beginning, it was impossible. We I have nothing, and I can only fight with my life. Now it is not the same situation as before! Your second uncle fought with me in the village, I am not afraid of him, and he is even more difficult in the county town. Since the day I scolded you as an old widow, I have already made plans to fight your Gao family to the end. Your second uncle is the most capable in your family. Can I not consider it? These days, I have already made up my mind in the county to fight with me. He's not tall! As long as you and Xiao Wu stand firm and don't let go, I'll have a way to make them go nowhere, dare to bite forcefully, and discipline him to break a few big teeth!"

Hearing what he said, Gao Yichun was still worried, but Gao Yiqing was already smiling with tears in his eyes, grinning silly, hugging Mu Yunyi and kissing again: "Brother Yuanbao is the best! Who in our family I can't beat you! With Brother Yuanbao here, I'm not afraid!" He jumped off the ground and ran to the outer room, "Brother Yuanbao, I'm going to work!"

As the Spring Festival approached day by day, every family started to get busy, preparing for the New Year. Mu Yunyi planned to buy new year's goods again and inquired about the days of the market in the town.

Gao Yichun said: "This year's food is already rich enough. We haven't finished eating the meat you bought before, and there are still half of the jars of salted eggs. You bought so many fruits in the city, and there are new ones. Clothes, what else can I do?"

Mu Yunyi said: "It's my first New Year's Eve here, so it should be more lively and grand."

When it was market day, Jinsuo and Yinsuo drove out their donkey carts early in the morning, and when they arrived at Gao's gate, Mu Yunyi was afraid that Gao's family would come in and rob them, so he asked Ma Le to accompany Gao Yichun at home. , and then took Gao Yiqing and Shang Yi to the donkey cart.

When it was time to leave, Gao Xuehong came out with Mo Xiang and a small bag on her back. The two of them were going to the town to go to the second sister Gao Xueci's house, so they also got into the car, and the group came to town talking and laughing.

Today is the last market before the year, and every household has bought all kinds of new year's goods, so not many people come to the market.

Mu Yunyi asked Jinsuo and Silversuo to watch the donkey cart on the road outside the market, and bought a small bag of pecans for five cents for them to smash and eat. As they left, Yinsuo smiled and said, "We come here often in this episode, and we can't lose it even if we close our eyes. Don't worry, Mr. Xiao!"

Mu Yunyi brought Shang Yi and Gao Yiqing into the Jili, and began to purchase in large quantities, mutton at thirteen cents a catty, beef at fourteen cents a catty, five catties each, pork eighteen cents a catty, ten catties, I also bought two catties of pork ribs, a live chicken for about 38 yuan, and a carp for more than 20 yuan. Mu Yunyi bought two chickens and four fish. Pluck the hair, scrape the scales and pick the gills, and only the carcass is left in the bag.

Mu Yunyi bought vermicelli, green onion, garlic, soybean oil and other things, as well as glutinous rice flour and red beans. After wandering around, a [-]-year-old blue-robed boy came to meet him. When he saw Gao Yiqing, he said, "Xiao Wu, my mother!" Let me come to find you and go to my house for dinner." He said to Mu Yunyi, "Are you Liu Lang?"

Mu Yunyi said: "I am Mu Yunyi, not some Liulang, you are..."

Gao Yiqing said: "This is the cousin of my second aunt's family."

Mu Yunyi nodded. He knew that Gao Xueci, the second daughter of the Gao family, resolutely married a man surnamed Li in the village despite the family's opposition. The couple sold two tile-roofed houses and three acres of Susukida and moved to the town. I rented a shop to sell tofu, and after years of hard work, I finally settled down in the town with a small family property. I gave birth to two sons. The eldest son is the young man Li Qinglong in front of me, and the youngest son is Li Qingxi.

Seeing Gao Yiqing looking at him, he said, "Your second aunt is looking for you for dinner, you should go."

Gao Yiqing had a keen sense: "Brother Yuanbao, are you going or not?" Seeing Mu Yunyi shaking his head, he quickly said, "Then I won't go either, Brother Qinglong, go back and tell Second Aunt that I still want to talk to Brother Yuanbao If I buy something, I won’t go to your house to eat.”

Li Qinglong said: "My mother said, let you all go, and the two boys driving the donkey cart, when you go back after eating, I will bring some back to Saburo."

Mu Yunyi said: "Thank you auntie for me, I won't go, if Xiaowu goes, you take him..."

Gao Yiqing shook his head like a wave drum: "If Brother Yuan Bao doesn't go, I won't go either."

Li Qinglong was very upset when he saw Mu Yunyi's attitude: "It's fine if you don't eat, it's best not to eat our food for the rest of your life!" After speaking, he gave Mu Yunyi a contemptuous look, turned his head and walked away!

Mu Yunyi sneered, and continued shopping with the two of them.

By noon, everything was almost sold out, and I went back twice halfway to send the things to the donkey cart, and then came back to purchase. When I was about to leave, I had already piled up a small mountain on the small flatbed cart.

Mu Yunyi took the four children into a steamed stuffed bun shop on the side of the road, and sat on a table at the door, just in time to look at the donkey cart: "What kind of stuffing are your steamed stuffed buns made of?"

The owner of the shop is a middle-aged woman: "There are all kinds of stuffing, bean stuffing, cabbage stuffing, radish stuffing, and big meat stuffing. Except for big meat stuffing, it costs one penny, and the others cost two pennies."

Mu Yunyi looked at someone drinking soup at the table next to him: "How many kinds of soup are there? Are they all the pickled vegetable soup?"

"How can it be, we still have mutton soup and pork bone soup stewing in the back, two yuan a bowl!"

Mu Yunyi asked everyone to order buns, all of which were stuffed with vegetables. No one wanted the big meat buns. Mu Yunyi ate one radish and one cabbage. It was far less delicious than the ones in the county, but it was much bigger. That's too much, he'll be full after eating two.I ordered three bowls of mutton soup, one for Shang Yi himself, one for Jinsuo and Yinsuo brothers, and one for him and Gao Yiqing. Children with small stomachs will waste it if they can't finish it.

After eating and drinking enough, warming hands and feet, everyone went out to get in the car and set off for home. The donkey cart was parked at the door, and the big guys moved the things on it to the house one by one. Gao Yichun was a little surprised: "Why did you buy so much?" many?"

"I've said it all, this is my first New Year's Eve here, so it must be a lively one." Mu Yunyi checked his things while talking, "Not only are we eating, but we also have to come up with some gifts. Well, Uncle Niu drove me for two months. Without him, we might not be able to live today. We would have starved to death. How can it be justified if we don’t buy some New Year’s goods? And Aunt Ma and Aunt Hua, it’s been so long Help us a lot..."

Ma Le hurriedly said beside him: "No, our family doesn't need..."

"What's the use! You just happen to be here, and we'll send it to your home later."

Mu Yunyi took two catties of pork, two catties of beef, plus a piece of blue cloth, and Gao Yiqing carried them to the west courtyard. The Ma family did not expect Mu Yunyi to give their family a gift, and it was so rich, and it was Pork is made of beef, and the piece of calico cost more than 200 Wen. How could they accept it? Let them take it back and eat it for themselves. Since Mu Yunyi brought it here, there is no reason to take it back. Go up, talk about the conversation, and then come out.Then there is Aunt Hua's house in the east, two catties of pork, two catties of mutton, and a bolt of colored cloth.

The last one was Mr. Niu. Mu Yunyi prepared a fat chicken, two carps, eight pig's trotters, and two pieces of blue cloth, and sent them to Mr. Niu's house.Boss Niu was talking to his wife: "That kid Yuan Bao is very particular, he must bring us New Year's goods, and then we can just pick up the cheapest ones, just let him like it."

Aunt Niu gave him a blank look: "You can! Am I the poisonous woman who fell into the eyes of money and only bullies motherless children? Not to mention that the child has given you a purse and given you money in the past two months. The wine giver, Shan Chong Yichun, we can't be cheeky to ask for things from others, but the ingot is a strong one, it's not good not to accept his gift, he sent it, if there are not many, we will take it all, When he comes to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the lunar new year, it will be converted into copper coins and used as red envelopes for him as New Year's money."
