Grandpa is not vegetarian

Regarding Gao Xuehong and Mo Xiang, Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun had negotiated a solution last night, and Gao Yichun directly said to Gao Xuehong: "Grandma, I will take Xiao Wu and Yuan Bao to live in the city. Mo Xiang has been with me for so long. Time, if you are willing, let him follow us. When the time comes, Yuan Bao and I will make money, and we will ensure that he will be fat and fat, and he will not be hungry or cold. After we leave, we will not come back easily, that is When you plant in spring and harvest in autumn, you have to come back to tend the land, if you want to live in this house, you can live here."

He knew that Gao Xuehong lived in the upper house. Although she was biased towards Mrs. Gao, she was often said to mean that she was depending on others. Gao Xuehong was a strong person, and she wanted to move out a long time ago, and the empty house was always unoccupied. It's not good for the house, so I told Mu Yunyi to let her come and live.

Gao Xuehong asked about the things in the city, and then said: "You group of children are not familiar with the place where you live, and you can't do it without an adult. I thought, how about I go with you, and I usually wash your clothes for you. Meal, that's what it is, don't worry, I won't eat for nothing, I make some needles and threads every day and sell them, which is almost enough for our mothers' rations."

Hearing what he said, Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun looked at each other. Last night Gao Yichun said that his old aunt must follow, and also discussed the feasibility of this matter. Now that Gao Xuehong mentioned it, he agreed , Gao Xuehong didn't expect Mu Yunyi to be so easy to talk, and immediately went back to the house happily to pack the things she and Mo Xiang used.

After a meeting, Gao Yiqing and Ji's family also came. Old man Ji, Ji Baogen, Niu Siniang, Gao Chunhua, and Ji Chunshi and Ji Qiushi, which are gold and silver locks, all came together and asked what happened. Yes, Mu Yunyi said the words again: "Chunshi and Qiushi have worshiped me as their husbands, and I can't ignore them now, or the same sentence, if I have a bite to eat, they won't be hungry, you guys The whole family studies and researches, and if they can trust me, let them go with me, if they don’t want their children to go so far, that’s fine, I won’t force it.”

The Ji family members were all discussing in the outhouse, Niu Siniang and Ji Baogen were reluctant, for fear that the two children would bump into each other outside and be wronged, while Gao Chunhua was thinking about how much living expenses he would have to pay every month. tight.

In the end, it was the old man Ji who made the decision: "Go! It's good if you can go to the county town to see the world, but what can you do if you stay in the village!" Then let his daughter-in-law and two grandchildren work here, he and Ji Baogen After going home, the donkey cart was driven over in a short while. There were two bags of cornmeal, six strips of bacon, one basket of dried vegetables, one basket of potatoes, and sixteen big carrots. Bed bedding, a change of clothes, newly made shoes, pens, inks, papers and inkstones that Mu Yunyi gave the two children, and two books to copy.

Ma Tiezhu saw that everyone agreed, his son was older than them, so he was reluctant, so he returned home with a heartless heart and brought a bag of rice, a pig's head to be eaten on February [-], a basket of cabbage, a basket of potatoes, As well as the bedding and clothes, I said to Gao Yichun: "Xiao Le played with you since childhood, and you should take care of him when you are in the city." Then he said to Mu Yunyi, "My old son has a good temper. He is older than you. When you get there, you can ask him to do whatever work you need."

When Gao Xuehong came with Mo Xiang, her complexion was very ugly, and she was obviously squeezed by others, and she only had a small bag on her body, which contained the clothes of the two mothers, and Mo Xiang had red eyes, with teardrops hanging from her eyelashes , pumping and pumping.

Niu Laosi's mule cart arrived soon, and everyone began to load things into the cart, two dowry boxes, a kang table, and bottles and jars in the outhouse, a jar of salted eggs, a jar of pickled vegetables, and a jar of Bacon, a jar of meat oil, a jar of soybean oil, a jar of chicken fat, a jar of salt... Only take these valuable things away, and the rest of the pots and pans, water ladles, fences, pots, forks and curtains , all were given to the Ma family and the painter, and the four chickens and ducks brought by Mr. Ji Jiabai in the first month were taken back by their family to raise.

Both the carriage and the donkey cart were full. Mu Yunyi didn't expect that each family would bring so many things. If it wasn't for the Ji family's donkey cart, but a mule cart really couldn't get through. People are also a bit overloaded afterwards.

Originally I wanted Ji Baogen to drive the cart, but the old man Ji was worried and insisted on seeing his grandson's residence, so he drove the donkey cart, and Niu Laosi drove the mule cart. The adults didn't let anyone follow except Gao Xuehong. Mu Yunyi locked the door, then bid farewell to the rest of the Ma family and the Ji family, jumped into the mule cart, and faced the morning sun, heading east all the way to the city.

When you arrive at the gate of the city, you have to pay the city fee. Those who watch the city gate are also on-duty arresters. They were originally divided into three shifts, but 50 years ago, they were all changed into fast shifts, that is, arresters, led by two arresters. They are responsible for scheduling shifts, guarding the city gates, patrolling the streets in the morning and evening, and arresting robbers.

These police officers all knew Mu Yunyi, and those who often went to teahouses to listen to books in their spare time would greet each other with a smile and call "Little Mister".

The entrance fee is two renminbi for adults, one renminbi for children, and five renminbi for cars. If the goods are for sale, it will be even higher. Wen Qian, the policemen were a little embarrassed, Mu Yunyi told them: "The teahouse will reopen in a few days, don't forget to join us when the time comes!" Several people coaxed and agreed.

When they arrived at Songlin Street, Mu Yunyi opened the gate, and a group of people entered the yard. They first let out a chorus of exclamation. They originally thought that even if Mu Yunyi could rent the yard, he must be in some corner, making buckwheat dumplings. The small courtyard is surrounded by low-rise houses, full of civilians. Because there is no land, they have to go out to work for others every day. I didn't expect it to be such a quiet and tidy courtyard.

The old man Ji asked in disbelief, "Yuan Bao, you rented this whole yard?" Seeing Mu Yunyi nodding, he asked with a tusk, "Isn't the rent a lot?"

Mu Yunyi smiled and said, "It's okay, three hundred Wen a month." It costs one mu, and if you live here for a year, four mu of land will be considered as white land. The old man Ji counted with his fingers, feeling very distressed.

Mu Yunyi let the big guy inside: "The tenants left in a hurry, and didn't have time to take away a lot of things, just forget about the furniture, and put all the jewelry used by these women in the box, and then write down a list. You have to return it to others.”

He prepared the pen and ink he had brought, spread paper on the table outside the east room, and began to record. Gao Xuehong was afraid that he would doubt himself, so he did not come to the back room, but called Ma Le and Mo Xiang to the courtyard together, and wrote The big wooden basin fetched water and began to scrub and tidy up. Only Gao Yichun and Gao Yiqing sorted out the things left by shopkeeper Li in the house. There was a list of jewelry, a list of clothes, and a list of other sundries, including Li The boots worn by the shopkeeper and the foot wraps used by his concubine were piled up in bits and pieces. Mu Yunyi found a box, put everything in it, and locked it.

Mu Yunyi estimated that the value of these things was about three to forty taels. In addition, he found more than a dozen copper plates in the dressing cabinet, but did not find anything like silver taels or bank notes. Mu Yunyi suspected that Chen Hexuan was here to arrest people and move them into the wing room. When buying things, he should have taken all the money out and taken away, and the rest of them are worthless things in the eyes of Young Master Chen, so he doesn't care about them, but he still plans to wait for Chen Hexuan to come next time, Return everything to him in full.

Gao Xuehong tidied up the main room, wiped the stove and cupboards clean, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were all neatly placed, Gao Yichun took the lead in scrubbing and sweeping, and found all the bedding in the cabinets When it came out, it was full of silk and satin, and it was full of cotton, so soft and soft. A few children touched it with their hands enviously, and were very happy. Even Ji Laohan and Niu Laosi were envious. Their son got married, and their daughter Even if you get married, you can't buy such a good thing.

Mu Yunyi said: "This quilt was covered by others, we can't use it directly, we will take it down and wash it before covering it."

After a lot of work, I didn't finish it until the end of the afternoon. Gao Yichun cooked, stewed potatoes with bacon, made a small pot, shared a salted duck egg with each person, served with fragrant rice, everyone was full After a quick meal, Niu Laosi and Ji Laohan drove home.

Mu Yunyi said to Gao Yichun: "I'm going to the store in the afternoon. You are at home and tidy up the house. The two of us and Xiaowu live in the inner room of the east room. Xiaoyi, Ma Le, and spring and autumn, live Outside the east room, the old lady will live in the west room with Mo Xiang, let's live like this first, and this will be our home from now on."

"Brother Yuan Bao, where are you going?" Gao Yiqing asked curiously, "Can I go with you?"

Mu Yunyi suddenly remembered that Gao Yichun knew how to do carpentry, so he said, "If you don't feel tired, come with me, and brother Yichun, my shop is being renovated, you know how to do carpentry, come with me too .”

Gao Yichun naturally did not refuse. Mu Yunyi led them to the north of the city. It was the first time for Gao Yiqing to come to the county. He looked left and right with big eyes. I bought four sticks and each of them ate them one by one. Gao Yiqing couldn't bear it, so he just licked it with his tongue. After a while, he finished licking the sugar coating, leaving only the hawthorn. Mu Yunyi smiled and said, "Eat it quickly, if you like it, Brother will buy it for you later."

Gao Yiqing said: "I've grown up so much, I've seen this candied haws twice. The first time was a piece that my second brother brought back from the establishment. He said it was a tribute to grandma. Grandma ate a hawthorn and shared the rest with everyone. I My brother and I didn't eat either, and Qiu Xiaobao took it out one time and shared it with us, and I even got one." He had a hawthorn in his cheek, bulging, squinting his eyes, his face It is full of happiness.
