Back to 1988

Mi Yang stayed for a while longer, sitting there talking with Mi Hong.

Mi Hong said to him: "I have sorted out the old books sent by the Bai family before. Half of them were too damaged and not worth much, so I didn't keep them. The rest have been repaired almost. I took it back and showed it to Mr. Bai. He has already filled in some new books, so I don’t want them. "

This Mi Yang did not expect that the old man loved these books very much two years ago, and after the old house was moved, he also deliberately moved the study there as it was, without missing a piece of wood. He did not expect that the old man would not want these books.

Mi Hong had walnut candies and hot tea in his hand, and the room was no longer deserted when it was steaming hot. He looked at Mi Yang and said slowly: "I have thought about it, and there is no one else, so I just pick and choose." I picked up some good ones, put them away by myself, and if you have a place later, I’ll mail them to you.”

Mi Yang nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them sat for a while and chatted about the set of books that Professor Zhang sent decades ago. Mi Hong said: "This set is called "Chao Fu Ji", and it is divided into five volumes. At that time, Mr. Zhang told me when he sent it, and I could see that he really liked it. At that time, he seemed to be a teacher of Jingshi University. I didn’t expect that he was still there for so many years.”

Mi Yang smiled and said: "Yes, he was hired back a few years ago, although he was only named as a professor, everyone still called him the old dean."

Mi Hong gave a rare smile, nodded and said: "It's good to do one thing in your life."

From the corner of Mi Yang's eyes, he saw the sanxian on the table, his throat choked, and he quickly looked away and smiled: "Grandpa, is this medical book more valuable? It is more valuable to collect, I am in Shanghai When I was in the city, sometimes when I went to the old calligraphy and painting shop to look around, I also saw a few times that someone sent medical books to repair."

If it were someone else, it might be necessary to start with the feelings for books, but Mi Hong is a craftsman, and what he does is repairing books for a living. When he heard this, he nodded and said: "Yes, in the Qing Dynasty, the best is the thread-bound novel, followed by For fortune-telling and face-to-face, it’s medical books again.”

Mi Yang pretended to be very interested, and looked down at the old books in the wooden box.

Mi Hong took a copy, and carefully opened it for him to read: "Take this as an example, look at the layout here, and then look at the pages, if you encounter a collector's seal, the value will double, and I don't know how much it is asking now. , in the past, it would always cost a few silver dollars."

Mi Yang studied it hard, and saw the traces of Mi Hong's repair, and said, "Grandpa, I want to come over to continue learning with you these few days. This time there is a lot of vacation time, so I can stay for a while..."

But Mi Hong put away the book and interrupted him: "There is no need to keep it anymore, I have already passed on everything I can teach you."

Mi Yang looked at him and refused to leave.

Mi Hong hooked the corners of his lips, and rubbed the top of his head with his big hand: "Don't think about it, since I promised, I will definitely do it."

He was talking about the promise he made to his wife back then.

Now that he has lived to the present, he will not commit suicide again.

As long as this old bone can last, it will last as long.

Mi Hong closed the door to thank the guests, and Mi Yang was also invited out. The old man was used to living alone, and he didn't feel bitter. On the contrary, Mi Yang felt astringent when he was kicked out by him.

After Mi Yang came back, he talked with Mrs. Cheng, and Mrs. Cheng thought it was normal for him to behave like this.

The old lady smiled and said: "He, he has such a temper when he was young, and he has been stubborn all his life, let him go."

In the evening, Mi Yang went to deliver snacks to Bai Luochuan. The amber walnuts were very popular, both Bai Luochuan and old man Bai loved it.

Ever since Bailao moved back to Shanhai Town, Mi Yang would send a copy to Bailao whenever he saw something new. They were all small things, not necessarily expensive.Bai Lao also loves Mi Yang very much. After all, he is a child who has been watched and grown up since he was a child, and there is no difference between holding it and his own.

After Mr. Bai ate a few, he saw Mi Yang carrying a box to the kitchen, and asked, "Yangyang, what are you carrying in your hand?"

Mi Yang said: "Oh, Grandpa Bai, it's just some sea cucumbers. It's just right to let the chef soak them and cook porridge."

Sitting in the living room, Bai Lao happily ate walnut candies, and said to him, "I don't like sea cucumbers."

Bai Luochuan put away most of the box of amber walnuts, took it away by himself, and left a small handful for the old man, and said to him: "When I was young, you didn't educate me like this. You always said that you should have a balanced diet and eat less. Eat more sugar."

Old Man Bai retorted: "You are growing up, I am so old, why do I have to grow up, please save me some more sugar!"

Bai Luochuan didn't listen to him, took it and went to the kitchen to order to make millet sea cucumber porridge at night.

The chef has gotten used to hearing their grandfather and grandson arguing every day, so he agreed with a smile, took the box in Mi Yang's hand, and went to soak the sea cucumber.

Mi Yang slowly moved closer to Bai Luochuan, and called him in a low voice, "Hey, Bai Luochuan."

Young Master Bai stood up straighter, looked at him with gentle eyes, and lowered his voice accordingly: "Huh?"

Mi Yang approached him and showed him that there was a handkerchief in his pocket, wrapped in a bulging mass, and he laughed and said, "I still have a small handful of walnut candies hidden, let's feed it to Wu Le later. eat it?"

Bai Luochuan narrowed his eyes.

Young Master Bai touched his pocket and wanted to check it himself: "Let me see."

Mi Yang said: "Don't look at it, it's all the same."

Bai Luochuan said: "Let me see which walnut is bigger."

Mi Yang: "..."

Mi Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said in a low voice: "Don't grab it, just wrap it up, sprinkle it after a while, it's really the same, the same box as yours came out of the same pot!"

Bai Luochuan was still worried, and after checking and comparing himself, he said, "This looks like a lot of sugar."

Mi Yang explained: "It is specially boiled with the last honey and rock sugar. There are more sugar and less walnuts. Wu Le likes sweet food." He looked at Young Master Bai and smiled with his eyes bent. "Anyway, you don't like sweet food, who likes it?" It's 'I' who has a sweet tooth, right?"

Bai Luochuan glanced at him, raised his hand and slapped his butt lightly, very lightly but loudly.

The tips of Mi Yang's ears turned red at once, so he moved away from him a bit, and only after looking left and right did he look up and stare at him, "Don't make trouble!"

Young Master Bai felt that the way he looked at people with his eyes wide open seemed more bullying, so he lowered his head a little closer, and Mi Yang backed away again and again. He laughed and slapped Mi Yang on the forehead, and hummed: "Don't make trouble with me!" That's right, I've been pressing the fire."

There was still some time for dinner, so the two of them went to feed Wu Le first.

The black horse has grown very strong, with smooth body lines, shiny and smooth fur, neatly combed, and long and thick mane. When Mi Yang stood by and fed it walnut candies, it shook its ears from time to time while eating, looking very Cozy.

Mi Yang kept looking at its swaying mane, and his heart was itchy.

He gave the rest of the walnut candies to Bai Luochuan, and said to him, "Hey, I want to pet Wu Le."

Bai Luochuan took it and fed it to Wu Le. One piece was divided into several small pieces, and he was much more stingy than Mi Yang.

Mi Yang reached out and touched it twice, and it was softer and smoother than he expected. After touching it, he couldn't help moving his fingers, and braided it.

Bai Luochuan saw it from the side, hesitated and said, "Do you need two braids? Should they be symmetrical?"

Mi Yang went to the side and braided another little braid. Mi Xue loved being pretty when she was a child, and he tied up the little girl’s braids. Wu Le’s mane is long and smooth, and Mi Yang feels very good when she braids it. .

Wu Le was very cooperative. After eating the candy, he stood there waiting, letting Mi Yang braid several braids for it. Seeing that Mi Yang stopped, he shook his neck, his shiny black mane shook a few times, and the braids It looms like an ornament, and it is already proud of itself.

Bai Luochuan asked him: "Don't make more?"

Mi Yang was still looking at it: "No, these few are enough. I just think it's fun. I'll take it apart and comb it for Wu Le tomorrow."

Bai Luochuan said: "No, someone will take care of it tomorrow, and it will take more than an hour to bathe it." He looked at Mi Yang and asked again, "Shall we stay tonight?"

Mi Yang nodded and said with a smile: "You don't know, as soon as I said I came to you, my grandma asked me what I would like to eat for lunch tomorrow. The old lady is used to me staying out overnight."

Bai Luochuan also laughed, the sky gradually darkened, a big tree was planted by the side of the stable, and the shade of the tree fell and covered most of the situation here, Bai Luochuan bowed his head in the corner and kissed Mi Yang, and whispered to Mi Yang He said something shameless, but was pushed away by Mi Yang's arm. Seeing Mi Yang's embarrassment, he couldn't help laughing again.

The chefs in the Bai family's old house are very skilled. The millet and sea cucumber porridge made at night is very tender, and some scallops are added to enhance the freshness. It is light and refreshing.

Bai Lao only took two mouthfuls, then put it down, saying repeatedly that he had a bad appetite and couldn't eat any more.

Bai Luochuan suspected that he ate too much walnut candy in the afternoon, but the old man didn't like it, so he couldn't say anything, he could only let the porridge and a few refreshing side dishes be heated in the kitchen, and bring them out when he wanted to eat.

Old Man Bai waved his hand and smiled at him: "I'm old, my appetite is so big, you eat yours, don't worry about me." He stood up slowly with a walking stick, and was helped to go to the backyard to watch the black horse Wu Le, one of his pockets is also bulging, as if he also hid candy to take there.

In the evening, Bai Luochuan had to stay on the first floor, but was kicked out by Bai Lao, who said to him: "I don't cough anymore, why are you still sleeping here, let's go, my living room has a set of things for drinking tea. , It’s all taken up by your bed. Isn’t Yangyang here, you go up and play game consoles, don’t bother me soon.”

Bai Luochuan had no choice but to move back to the second floor.

In the room he lived in, Mi Yang was lying on the bed and talking on the phone with Mi Xue. Mi Yang was wiping his hair while turning on the speakerphone, and he could hear the little girl's soft voice through the phone, calling him coquettishly. : "Brother, when will you come back, I miss you all—"

Bai Luochuan pressed on Mi Yang with a cold face, Mi Yang snorted unpreparedly, and immediately heard Bai Luochuan answering for him: "It's only been out for a day, just wait, it's been at least half a month."

Before Mi Xue heard it, she said Jiaohan: "Brother doesn't miss me anymore, I won the first place in the class this time!"

The city's No. [-] Bai Luochuan was still lying on Mi Yang's body, and he sneered.

Mi Yang bumped him lightly with his arm, and whispered: "Come down, you are too heavy."

Michelle on the phone also felt that something was wrong, and called out again in doubt: "Brother?"

Mi Yang smiled at her, "It was your elder brother Bai who was talking to you just now."

Bai Luochuan breathed a little faster next to Mi Yang's ear, bit his ear, and his body became a little tighter, the hot touch was distinct, and he even rubbed against it very slightly.

Mi Yang: "!!"
