Grandpa is not vegetarian

The three boys all washed up, climbed onto the heated kang, and put the oil lamp that Gao Xuezheng brought over to the kang cabinet. With the help of the faint light of the fire, Mu Yunyi opened the cloth bag and took out four steamed buns and two steamed buns: " Now, eat this first."

Gao Yiqing subconsciously reached out to grab it, but halfway through, he retracted it like an electric shock, and swallowed: "Brother Yuan Bao, you can eat by yourself, me and I have already had dinner."

On the way back, Mu Yunyi ate the sourdough bread made by Niu Boss. He was so young that he wasn't very hungry. Seeing Gao Yiqing's appearance, he couldn't help but stuff two buns into his hand: "Give it to the elder, Don’t dare to resign, you can eat what my brother gave you, I also had dinner when I came back, and now these are just supper.” He pinched Gao Yiqing’s small face, “A horse has no night grass and is not fat. We have to eat supper often in order to grow some meat, and it feels good to hold."

Then he divided the rest equally, and gave Gao Yichun a steamed bun and a steamed bun. I drank chicken soup..."

Gao Yiqing also pushed back what was in his hand: "Yes, we've all had chicken soup, but Brother Yuanbao didn't have it."

Mu Yunyi got angry: "What's the matter? Are you looking down on me? Or do you think I'm dragging you down in your house, and you want to draw a line with me? You save me corn bread from the ration, and I earn money for you on the first day Why don't you just buy something?"

The two brothers quickly explained: "Yuan Bao, don't be angry, I didn't mean that..."

"I didn't mean to eat it. Let's eat it together. If you two don't eat it, don't eat it at all. Throw it out the door and feed it to the dog!"

Gao Yichun had no choice but to reluctantly took the steamed bun and gnawed it bit by bit. Gao Yiqing opened his mouth after watching him eat, but after gnawing for a long time, he was still gnawing on the skin of the bun.

Mu Yunyi said: "You two don't need to keep it for me, and I won't eat it if I keep it. Anyway, I will throw out the rest!" After speaking, he took his own buns and steamed buns, and bit them bitterly.

Soon, he realized that something was wrong. Gao Yichun sat with his head down in the shadows, his body twitching. He went to hold his face, and he was crying like hell. Mu Yunyi took a deep breath, and was about to After talking, Gao Yichun said first: "Yuan Bao, do you blame me for picking you up?"

Mu Yunyi was stunned: "Why do you ask that? Of course I don't complain. If you hadn't picked me up, I would have starved to death."

"It's not like that." Gao Yichun choked up and said, "You are dressed so well and you still have a gold collar around your neck. Even if I don't pick you up, others will pick you up if they see you. Yuan Bao, I didn't I thought too much, I brought you back when I saw you squatting on the side of the road crying pitifully, but I didn't expect... Woohoo, I didn't expect it to be like this today, you won't be able to eat enough for a month, When you first came here, you were white and clean, chubby, but you looked good, like the good-looking boy in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, how can you be so thin now? You stabbed fourth uncle with a knife today, and drove Minger to wait for grandma and second uncle When I come back, I will definitely try to punish you, maybe I will find someone to sell you."

Hearing what he said, Gao Yiqing realized the seriousness of the matter. He only felt that he had let out a bad breath tonight, but he didn't expect such consequences. He panicked and grabbed Gao Yichun: "Brother, you can't sell Yuanbao Brother, you can’t sell it.”

Gao Yichun cried and said: "Our grandma has a partial heart and doesn't treat us as human beings. At the beginning, my mother left after giving birth to Xiaowu, and our grandma said that he couldn't support him, so she only gave out some millet for him. I made rice soup for him, and I carried him from door to door to ask the neighbors in the neighborhood. The aunts and aunts with children gave him some milk. Xiaowu grew up on Baijia milk. I have tried to sell his mind twice, the first time was to sell to an extinct family, but the negotiation failed because the asking price was too high. Go to the money, our family has no rice to cook, and my grandma will sell Xiaowu to Fan Juren's house in the town to be a slave. Because of this, in addition to planting in spring and harvesting in autumn every year, the stack of firewood on the west side of the house belongs to me. As I said at the time, although we have no adults in the third room, we have to do the same thing as the fourth room, because the family cannot support idlers. .”

Gao Yiqing also cried when he heard this: "Brother, why is our grandma so cruel! Aren't the first and second rooms full of idlers? Zhiren and Zhixiao always eat egg custard, why did I become like that at that time."

"We can't compare with others." Gao Yichun wiped away his tears, and said to Mu Yunyi, "You have used a knife with your elders today, no matter where you take it, you will be drowned by saliva, the old lady wants Selling you is just a matter of one sentence, Yuan Bao, it was I who harmed you, if you were picked up by others, you don't have to fall into the fire pit now."

"You also know that this is a fire pit?" Mu Yunyi was quite calm, pulling up the quilt to wipe the faces of the two brothers, "Let others pick it up, maybe the situation is not as good as it is now! Maybe you will be kidnapped by a kidnapper, Break off your hands and feet and pull them out to beg for food! How can there be so many things in the world as you like, and it is meaningless to assume anything. If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be right when you don’t have it tomorrow! Come, eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns, I spend I bought it with several big papers, so don’t waste it.”

Perhaps because of being infected by his emotions, Gao Yichun was not so sad anymore, and asked twitchingly: "Aren't you afraid?"

"What's the use of being afraid? Since it's a formal business, you have to pay attention to what you want and what you want. At that time, I will only have a deer-cutting knife. People will cut people, Buddhas will cut Buddhas, and I will cut myself if I can't cut others. , I want to see who dares to buy me! People buy slaves because they want to be able to work and have a future, who will buy money-losing goods like me?"

In this era, it is said that the heaven and earth are monarchs, parents and teachers, fathers and sons, fathers want to sell their sons and daughters, even if the children don’t want to, at most they will cry and grab the earth, and the most violent is to seek death by themselves, and there is no There was a lot of fuss about using a knife to kill one's life, so the two brothers' intuition for Mu Yunyi's statement was unbelievable: "You... how could you... like this?"

"What can't be done! He's not my real uncle or my real grandmother. He just wants to blackmail my family because he sees my child as a bully. He bribes Lizheng to get the household registration. Otherwise, how can I get my child back the first day? I’m in a rush to register? They’re still trying to take advantage of my status as an elder, I am! I’m not afraid of this matter going anywhere!”

"But, you stabbed fourth uncle with a knife, what if they fight together?" Gao Yichun was still worried.

"When I get to this place, I'm so poor that I have only one life left, so I will fight with my life! Your fourth uncle's family has been repelled by me. Are your uncle and second uncle as strong as him?"

Gao Yichun shook his head: "Both of them are scholars, my uncle and second uncle can't beat the fourth uncle, but my second uncle is a scholar, he has met the county magistrate."

"He is a scholar, so he has to take care of his own reputation!" Mu Yunyi thought, and in the past few days, he began to talk about the Gao family's affairs in the county. I am unfilial, and I will repay my kindness. Don't say that I can't earn money, and I will be at their mercy in the future. He handed the buns and steamed buns to Gao Yichun's mouth, "Hurry up, it's okay, we will have a good life Yes, in the future, when I earn money, I will send you two to study, and I will pass the Juren examination in the future, so I don’t have to be afraid of him.”

Gao Yiqing saw that he was not in a hurry at all, and finally felt relieved, picked up the steamed buns and gnawed them, and helped Gao Yichun: "Brother, you see that Brother Yuanbao is so capable, you are sure to be fine, just eat, Brother Yuanbao has been tired all day Now, finish eating and go to sleep."

Gao Yichun and Gao Yiqing grew up eating corned buns for many years, and they only saw a little oily water during the New Year's festival. Although there are pheasants and hares on the mountain, and live fish and shrimps in the river, they are not easy to catch, otherwise The people in this village are not stupid. They have long been full of delicacies and river delicacies. Although there are two pigs and more than 40 chickens in the family, it is just that Mrs. Gao is partial, but any good things cannot be left in this small town. The two brothers talked about it, so although the buns Mu Yunyi bought were vegetarian stuffed buns, they were also mixed with meat oil, and they were fine grains, which were hundreds of times better than steamed buns. Both of them were reluctant to eat them in a few bites. Nibbling bit by bit on the kang.

It took a long time to finish eating the mantou and buns. Mu Yunyi asked Gao Yiqing to go down to fetch water from the pot. Gao Yiqing quickly fetched the water and put it on the edge of the kang. Mu Yunyi took out the fried noodles and peanut sugar. To Gao Yichun: "In the future, if you can't get enough to eat, you can use boiled water to fill your hunger, especially you, with such thin arms and legs, you have to do so much work every day, so eat more."

Gao Yiqing also got the peanut candy, and was so excited that he almost jumped up from the kang: "It's candy! Brother Yuanbao, where did you get it? During Chinese New Year last year, I saw Qiu Xiaobao eat it, and he even took a piece of candy. Let's all take a lick each, I know it's this."

Gao Yichun opened the paper bag and looked, surprised and delighted: "It's fried noodles!" Then he became worried, "Did you spend a lot of money?"

Gao Yiqing interjected, "Brother Yuanbao just spent five Wen on buying medicinal wine for you."

Mu Yunyi smiled and rolled up his sleeves: "I said that I want to raise you up to be fat and fat, and you will earn more money in the future. You can just eat whatever you get back."

He grabbed Gao Yichun's feet, put them into the water basin, and massaged them slowly from light to heavy.

Gao Yichun was a little embarrassed and wanted to take his feet back: "The feet have been washed, I just rub the medicinal wine myself."

"Don't move! You have to massage it well and rub the medicinal wine into it, so that it will heal faster. It's not convenient for you to do it yourself, just tilt it on that side, and I will do it for you." Mu Yunyi first used warm water to give Gao Yichun's feet became hot from the massage, then he took the bamboo tube, poured out a little medicinal wine in the palm of his hand, rubbed it on the injured ankle, and continued to massage, "If it hurts, just say it, I will be gentle, don't force yourself."
