Ye Jianqiu

When Ye Jianqiu woke up again, he found himself lying on the soft couch in a daze, he sat up, rubbed his eyes, then thought of something, and blushed.

Last night, he became confused after drinking. Although his mind was clear, he couldn't control his behavior.He remembered that he was carried down in a daze, and finally he was carefully placed on the couch, covered with a quilt...

Situ Jin!

Ye Jianqiu jumped off the couch and hurried to Situ Jin's bed. There was no one on the bed, only neatly folded quilts, and the sunlight outside the window became dazzling... Oh my God!He went to bed late, and he was going back to West Rabbit Village today!

Smoke rose from the cave house in Xituer Village, and Mrs. Niu was carefully baking the dough cakes.

Ye Shuan, who hurried in from the outside, smelled the fried pancakes, walked over to his mother with a slobber, looked at the two pancakes that had already been baked, stretched out his hand and tore a piece!

Just as Niu was about to stop it, it was already too late.Ye Shuan didn't think it was too hot, he moved the pancake back and forth to fill his mouth, and yelled, "Mother, why are you lying, this pancake is only covered with a layer of white dough, and the inside is still black miscellaneous grains!"

Niu tore off a large piece of bread from another plate and handed it to Ye Shuan: "Eat this piece, it's baked with pure white flour!"

Ye Shuan took it eagerly, and said curiously, "Mother, why are you baking two kinds of cakes? It's not easy to distinguish, they all look the same!"

"What do you know? This white pancake is for your brother Shitou, and this pure white pancake is for your big brother."

"Brother Shitou, don't you like pure white flour cakes?"

"Yeah! He likes to eat miscellaneous grains!"

Ye Shuan was at a loss, how delicious the white noodle cakes are, and Mother even put a layer of sesame, pepper, and salt on them!Brother Shitou is really weird, he likes to eat that rough grains that dry out his throat!

Niu told Ye Shuan: "When the big and small come back home, you have to call him brother. You can't follow the rules and call him big and small!"

Ye Shuan rolled his eyes: "Who calls him brother! If you can't beat a fart with three sticks, you will die if you are a wimp!"

Niu picked up the rolling pin and gave Ye Shuan a slap: "You brat, don't let your elder brother go home uncomfortable! He is not a waste of money, he has a lot of money in his hand! In the future, you will be able to build a big house and marry a wife." Count on him!"

Ye Shuan's face darkened with dissatisfaction, and he tore off a piece of white flour bread and bit it in his mouth, and ran out to play with his baggy trouser waist.

Ye Dashan, who was carrying water and walking on the path, met his son Ye Shuan who was running fast, and almost hit him while he was dangling carrying two buckets.Ye Dashan scolded: "What do you look like in a panic? If the water is spilled, you will take care of it! Apart from eating and playing, you don't do anything serious!" Ye Shuan made a face at his father and ran away.

Ye Dashan came to the house and poured water into the big tank in a rush. Niu smiled and said, "Is Li Zheng opening the well cover for you?"

"Yeah! How dare he not open it? Our family is working in Situ's mansion! Everyone in the whole county except Cao county magistrate knows that Mr. Situ Jin is arrogant! As soon as I said that the young and old are going to come to eat at home today I have to pick a few buckets of water, Lizheng not only runs back and forth to help me fetch water, but the woman also comes out to help me carry the buckets, not even an egg!"

Niu said triumphantly: "The son of the Gong family, Ye Xiaoxi, is also working in Situ's mansion. It can be seen that he is not doing well. Not only did he not take a penny from the house, but the mansion never let him out. The Gong family saw me. Keep your head down and walk along the wall, not daring to look at me!"

"Yes, our family is the only one that is doing well outside of Xitu'er Village!"

Ye Dashan and Niu Shi looked at each other and smiled, very proud.

At this time, Ye Jianqiu was already sitting on the cart heading for West Tuer Village.

Ye Jianqiu was fully armed, and he wore a hollow felt hat with a wide brim covering his forehead, and a cloth covering his face to keep out the sand and dust.He carried a big basket on his back and a leather bag on his shoulder, which was full of millet.

Millet is the most hungry food, a catty of rice is worth three catties of white noodles, and cooking is easy to ship.For poor people who lack food and drink, sending millet is very affordable.There are more than a dozen catties of dried noodles in his back basket, which are not only easy to store, but also boiled with some melon and vegetable leaves to make soup noodles, which is even more precious than millet.

Almost all the people on this scooter were people from Xituer Village, and everyone greeted him friendly: "Big and young, are you going home today?"

"Yes."

Ye Jianqiu nodded.

Someone said: "Your father said, the size is very powerful now, you are working in the inspector Shi's mansion, right?"

Ye Jianqiu smiled, but did not speak.

"Small and small, how much do you earn a month? Your father said that you are the housekeeper of the house, and you get ten taels of silver a month. Is that true?"

Ye Jianqiu shook his head: "I'm not the housekeeper of the house, I'm just a cook, and I don't get paid, the house only cares about food and shelter."

Hearing this, the fellow who asked the question suddenly changed his face. He curled his lips and whispered strangely: "Who will believe it? I'm afraid I will be exposed?"

The fellow villagers stopped talking to him and remained silent all the way.

When Ye Jianqiu came out of Xitu'er Village for the first time, it was still foggy in the middle of the night, and he couldn't see anything clearly.And now, he can finally see the whole picture leading to West Rabbit Village.

I saw that the road is wide and straight, and the road is paved with thick bluestone slabs. The big trees on both sides of the road are thick and thick, and the big white leaves are rustling by the hot wind. There are even small bird's nests blowing down from the treetops. , rolled into the grass.

Qingyang Town used to be like a reserved and beautiful woman, rich and gorgeous, noble and dignified, which made people fascinated.But when she suffered a sudden change, she was abandoned. She washed away all her charms and watched the world with cold eyes... Although her face is gone, her arrogance and self-esteem will never die.

The town still has tall archways, deserted multi-storey restaurants, once luxurious dilapidated stages, dusty stone lions, mottled and faded carved pavilions... However, those tall and magnificent buildings are still shining in the sun Shenghui, the temple has a seven-story exquisite pagoda that is jingled by layers of bells blown by the wind, and the main road leading to all directions not only facilitates transportation, but also realizes the connection between every village.

These unintentional details seem to be silently telling the incomparable luxury and scenery of this town, like the history submerged in dust and smoke, if people accidentally discover it, they will be amazed...

Qingyang Town is very polarized, just like Yingtou Mountain, where Yin and Yang are separated.

The people here are as rich as they are rich, and as poor as they are poor.In the towns only tens of miles away, the rich lived in mansions with carved flowers and trees surrounded by flowers, and lived a life of debauchery and drunkenness.And the more you go to the countryside, the poorer you are. People live in low shacks and burrows... There are people with dark and red skin, bare upper body, wearing a veil, and driving groups of goats with bare feet. Or skin snipes foraging on bare rocks.

The cart finally arrived at the entrance of the village, and Ye Jianqiu got out of the cart carrying his heavy things.

He slowly recalled the road he had only walked once, and looked at the red-red mountain foot in the distance, and the smoke from the cave-like building in the distance, he thought, maybe this is here.

"size!"

Ye Dashan suddenly appeared in front of Ye Jianqiu, happily stepped forward to take the grain on his shoulders, and carried it on his shoulders without saying a word.

"Big and small, it's time for you to come. Dad has been waiting by the side of the road for a long time, just waiting to pick you up!"

"Why didn't I see you just now?"

"Father is cats in the haystack under the stone, the sun is poisonous, squatting on the side of the road is too hot!"

It turned out that Ye Dashan was squatting under the stone on the side of the road, no wonder Ye Jianqiu didn't notice it.Ye Dashan strode forward to lead the way, and Ye Jianqiu followed behind him.

Soon, the two came to the bridal chamber, and Niu enthusiastically let Ye Jianqiu sit on the kang, and specially spread a new layer of white cloth on the kang.

"Small and small, you just sit here and rest first, and after lunch, lie down here and sleep for a while, and then go back after you relieve your fatigue."

"Ok."

Ye Jianqiu took off the back basket behind him, sat on the kang and looked at it.

The house was still poor, and nothing new had been added to the house except the white sheet on which he was sitting was new.Could it be that he gave Ye Dashan a total of ten taels of silver before and after, did he really treat his grandfather?

"Where's grandpa?"

Ye Jianqiu asked.

"Running out again, I don't know where I am running around now! Since I recovered, I ran away like before. Don't worry, big or small. Your grandpa will be back by dinner time! When the time comes, you will Saw him."

"Oh."

After hearing what Niu said, Ye Jianqiu was relieved, it seemed that the old man had fully recovered.

At this time, two people came in from outside the door, Ye Daniu and her husband Yin Shitou.

Da Niu Ye was still the same, wearing a thin leather gown, with her left hand tightly tucked into her bosom, when she entered the door and saw Ye Jianqiu, her eyes lit up, she smiled at him shyly, then quickly lowered her head, walked to the cow Shi's side to help her work.Yin Shitou, on the other hand, was an honest man, with a dark red face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide forehead, and thick lips. After seeing Ye Jianqiu, he smiled silly twice, and rubbed his big hands awkwardly.

Yin Shitou came to Ye Jianqiu's side, saw that Bai Shanzi didn't dare to sit down, stood up and said, "Brother, are you here?"

"Well, just arrived."

After a moment of silence, Yin Shitou scratched his head and said again: "Brother, is the journey going well?"

"Fortunately."

It's cold again...

Ye Jianqiu smiled secretly, this Yin Shitou is really cute, he doesn't look very old, only about thirteen or fourteen years old, he is simple-minded, thick hands and big feet, he looks like an honest farmer, Ye Da Niu followed him , might be a good choice.

When Ye Shuan heard the news, he ran in quickly. Seeing Ye Jianqiu's mouth open for a long time, he turned over the basket on the ground without shouting anything. When he found a large bag of fruits and snacks, he screamed happily Get up: "Mother! Mother! Big and small, there are fruits! What kind of melon is this?"

Ye Shuan brought a white-dotted pearl melon to Niu and asked while holding up the melon.

When Niu smelled the sweet fruit leaves, she became very hungry, so she pretended to be calm and said, "Put it back in the basket! Your father hasn't eaten yet! And your second sister!"

Ye Shuan yelled angrily: "No way!" Then he burst into tears.

"Let him eat, there is still in the basket."

Upon hearing Ye Jianqiu's words, Ye Shuan immediately took the melon and ate it with tears in his mouth.He finished a melon in two mouthfuls, then squatted down and began to rummage in the basket regardless of the juice flowing from his mouth and chest. In the end, Ye Shuan killed three peaches, a melon, a bunch of grapes, and some snacks in one breath... Ye Shuan, whose stomach ached from being stretched, was sweating profusely, screaming "Awow" and rolling on the ground, Niu was so angry that he grabbed him by the ear and carried him out of the room, kicking him into the latrine!

Standing outside the hut, Niu yelled: "You worthless! You don't know how hungry you are! If you can't pull it out, just pull it out, don't let yourself die of pain!"

Ye Shuan vomited while crying, rubbing his stomach and moaning...
