The little man on the apex

What does it mean to go to a faraway place to be a husband to a wealthy family?

What do you mean I've just been married and I'm still fresh?

Yan Heyi felt a rush of blood rushing straight to the top of the sky. He slowly sat down on the ground, leaning against the bed, holding the piece of paper in his hand, and repeatedly looked at every word on it.

I have to say that Xiao Zuzu's handwriting is really good, even if I practice for a few more years, I may not be able to compare with it.

It's fine to cross out the word "brother", but even crossed out "sanggong" and call him by his first name. Does this mean that he doesn't want to be his husband?

This torn piece of paper hastily torn from a storybook, with the edges as if eaten by a dumpling, and painted with such a beautiful and lingering "spring scenery", is it not compatible with Lishu?

There is not even a signature, and the format is irregular. Is this how the old gentleman hired by the family teaches the students?

I don't know how long it took until Aunt Gu called him through the fence, and Yan Heyi came back to his senses. He stood up on the edge of the bed, and patted his body carefully. Although the house was cleaned every day, the floor was clean and there was not much stain dust.

Tuanzi got out from nowhere, rushed into the house and ran around in a circle, maybe he didn't see Yuanxi, so he had to settle for the next best thing, and circled Yan Heyi's feet to show his affection.

Yan Heyi wrapped her jacket tightly, walked into the yard with her usual expression, and said softly to Aunt Gu: "Yuanxi has something to go out, don't worry."

Aunt Gu was still worried, "Going out? By himself?"

"Yes."

"Isn't he no one at home?" Aunt Gu wiped her hands on her apron, "Did he go to town? When will he be back?"

Yan Heyi only picked up the questions at the back and answered, "I don't know, maybe I can come back at night, maybe I will come back in a few days, it shouldn't be too long."

Aunt Gu was obviously dissatisfied with such an ambiguous answer, and there was some blame mixed in her tone, "He is reckless, and he doesn't know how to take care of himself. It's getting colder these days, how can we let him go out alone? "

"Yeah," Yan Heyi murmured to herself in a low voice, "How can I let him go out alone?"

Fu returned to his usual voice: "It's because I didn't think carefully, don't worry, I should be back in a few days at most."

Aunt Gu didn't really blame Yan Heyi on purpose, she was just worried about Yuan Xi, "Success, Auntie's tone was a bit harsh just now, don't take it for granted."

"No, Aunt Gu."

"Winter is coming soon, remember to find out the thick jacket and dry it in the sun." Aunt Gu just wanted to enter the house, but she turned around and asked, "I have nothing to do these few days, so I will make it for you and Yuanxi." The jacket is fully stuffed with cotton, so it is sure to be warm, and it will be ready in a few days, and it will be ready to wear when Yuanxi comes back."

Yan Heyi thanked Aunt Gu earnestly, and the two went into the house separately.

He went back to the house and sat for a while, and suddenly he seemed to have figured it out: the little ancestor must have lost his temper with him, and even played the trick of leaving a book and running away, deliberately making himself anxious, maybe he didn't know where to hide at this time In a patch of grass, the cat looked down at itself.

What a doll.

This person must play this trick because he wants to see himself worrying about him, so he can coax him and pretend to look for him.

After making up his mind, Yan Heyi read the note carefully again, and even laughed out loud to himself. He closed the door of the house, but didn't dare to lock it, for fear that Yuanxi would not be able to get in, so he was exposed to the wind in the yard for nothing.

They went to private schools first, then Gouwa's, Zhou Ziyu's, Zhao Jing's, and even Niu Er's. They all said they were playing hide-and-seek with Yuanxi.

After searching the homes of these people who were acquainted with Yuanxi, Yan Heyi went up the mountain.

After coming down from the mountain, the sun had already started to set towards the west. Yan Heyi went home to take a look, and saw that Yuanxi hadn't come back, so she went to the town again.

When she arrived in the town, Yan Heyi didn't look for anyone with much fanfare. After all, the little ancestor left a book and ran away, not lost, so there is no need for everyone to follow and worry.

Glancing at the door of Zhao Jing's carpenter's shop, he saw that Zhao Jing was immersed in carpentry, and Zhou Ziyu was sitting on the wooden stool next to him, stuffing peeled sunflower seeds into his mouth from time to time.

The door of Zhou Hongxi's house was locked, and he asked the old steamed stuffed bun seller at the door, and he said that he hadn't seen any handsome boys coming. He also went to the blacksmith's shop in Chang Ying's house, but there was still no sign of Yuanxi.

In fact, Yuanxi only left for half a day. If Zhou Hongxi was asked to lead the people from the yamen to look for it, it shouldn't be difficult to find it. Yan Heyi stood at the gate of the mansion yamen for a while, then turned and went home.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he still had to face the possibility that Yuan Xi was really determined to leave. If so, Yan Heyi didn't know whether he should force him to stay.

Back in the small courtyard, there were already colorful clouds in the sky, Yan Heyi walked around the front and back of the house again, then opened the door and entered the house.

Holding the note, he stood by the window for a while before stretching out his hand to feel the wind leaking in through the crack of the window.

The days go by so fast, and it's time to nail the windows. Yuanxi's delicate body is afraid of the heat in summer, and he presumably fears the cold in winter. These window seams must be nailed tightly, and the door must also Thick curtains are installed so that it is warm.

Especially in the inner part of the kitchen, Yuan Xi had to bathe every day, his body was wet with water, and the wind would be terrible, so he had to nail it extra carefully.

Let's tidy up the closet first, just to see what clothes the little ancestor brought.

Yan Heyi took an inventory, and found that a few coats and inner garments that Yuanxi often wore were missing, and the thick robe that she had just put on these few days was gone, and she should be wearing it on her body. This robe has two layers, and now Wear it just right.

The jackets bought when we got married were all placed on the upper shelf of the closet, wrapped in clean cotton cloth, Yuan Xi probably didn't see them in a hurry, and didn't bring any of them.

Hope it's not too cold these days.

Yan Heyi's hand touched the wooden box containing the jade plaque, and was about to put it on the top, when suddenly it opened like a ghost, the silk cloth was still there, but the jade plaque was gone.

The little ancestor also said how valuable the jade token was at night, and took it away in a blink of an eye, thinking that with this thing, he should at least be able to eat enough.

Obviously gave it to me, really stingy.

After tidying up the closet, Yan Heyi bent over again, and dug out a thick stack of quilts from the big box in the side room. The stuff here was old shredded cotton, and the biggest one was nailed to the door frame to make a door curtain. , others are nailed to the windows.

Clinking the hammer, nailing the windows and nailing the door frame, the room became warm instantly. I stretched out my hand to feel the gap between the window and the door for a while, and it really didn't leak any air.

Yan Heyi wiped the thin sweat from her forehead, took a breath in her chest, and continued to take the hammer and went to the kitchen.

I didn't bother to go into the kitchen all day, and it was a mess inside. The unfinished steamed buns in the dustpan were gone, and the bowl of sweet jujube paste was also taken away. There were sticky porcelain bowls left, and there were quite a few loofahs, pumpkins, and radish sprouts on the stove. I think these dishes took up too much space and it was not easy to fill my stomach.

No wonder they clamored to eat steamed buns. They had thought about it a long time ago. Fortunately, they were steamed a lot, enough to last them for a few days.

Yan Heyi remembered the big cloth bag that Yuan Xi had asked her for, so she opened the top cabinet in the kitchen to have a look, and sure enough it was gone.

With such thorough preparations, he might have to stay outside for several days. He is still not convinced that he is a greedy cat. When he ran away from home, he only wanted to bring food, but he didn't know how to bring more thick clothes.

Yan Heyi suddenly remembered something, ran into the back room and opened the hidden compartment next to the bed, took out the wooden box containing money, the lock on it was unlocked, opened it, and found that a handful of broken silver was missing.

He smiled silently and closed the box.

With all this money, I'm afraid I'm going to stay outside for a few months.

Yan Heyi simply stopped nailing the windows, and checked the inside and outside of the house, and found that the portraits she had drawn for Yuan Xi on the desk were missing, as well as the purple bamboo writing brush. Finally, she realized that she was sitting in the back room. A pair of obscene trousers were missing from the shelf.

Obscene pants? !

Since he said he was going to be the husband of a wealthy family, why did he take his own dirty pants? Aren't he afraid that his new husband-in-law will be angry?

Bah, bah, bah, what a new husband, only me, the "fresh" old husband.

If there is, it must be green floating on the top of the head!

When this little ancestor is willing to come back, I must not forgive him easily.

You must show the power of a gentleman, let him stay outside for a day in the cold, and when he sneezes one after another, then show mercy and put him in the house, clean him up from the inside out until he cries Only by begging for mercy can he consider letting him go.

Yan Heyi stood blankly in the kitchen for a long time, until it was completely dark and her stomach growled a few times before she remembered that she hadn't eaten a sip of food or drank a sip of water today.

This person left a book and left, knowing that he brought food and money with him, but he lost his stomach. How can there be such a reason?

Yan Heyi lit a fire on the stove, scooped half of the rice out of the jar, and then shook out half of it.

With Yuanxi not around, how could I eat so much?

After washing the rice, Yan Heyi hesitated, then opened the rice vat to scoop some rice.

What if Yuan Xi came back at night?What if you come back soon?

Still have to do his part.

Thinking of this, Yan Heyi washed two more eggs and prepared to cook them together.

He probably really believed that Yuan Xi would go home soon, and his heart became more and more happy. He nestled in front of the stove and started the fire earnestly, even humming the song his mother taught him before.

The aroma of rice porridge wafted out little by little. Yan Heyi filled the last handful of firewood and said while cleaning up the debris at his feet: "Wait a while, the rice porridge needs to be simmered to soften."

There was no one answering around, Yan Heyi's hand stopped suddenly, and after a long while, she smiled bitterly.

A bowl of rice porridge came out, Yan Heyi covered the rest, thought for a while, opened the lid again, and took out an egg.

Peel the eggs, pick out the yolks and put them into the porridge, crush and stir carefully with a spoon, and you will have a bowl of egg yolk porridge.

The kitchen was warm, so Yan Heyi simply moved a wooden stool and sat by the stove to drink porridge.

After taking a mouthful of hot porridge, Yan Heyi felt her whole body warmed up, and she put a few more mouthfuls into her mouth, suddenly choked up, then turned her head suddenly, and spit out the few mouthfuls of porridge that she had just eaten.

He wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up and wanted to get the bamboo broom in the corner, his legs softened, and he sat straight on the ground.

It seemed that he vomited urgently just now, his eyes were filled with tears, and now he just rolled out, there was no one around, even if he cried loudly, it didn't matter.

Yan Heyi shook his shoulders hastily, Tuanzi heard the sound, rushed in from the yard, stood a few feet away from Yan Heyi, staring at him intently.

After staring at it for a while, Tuanzi hummed a few times, walked over slowly, and lay quietly at Yan Heyi's feet.
