Chapter 41

After giving the things to Dayong, Gou Sheng hurried back.

Liu Datie put away the twenty coppers to Li Dahua, and repeatedly said that the money in Gousheng's hands was still useful, so Li Dahua happily started helping to string together vegetables. He only talked about it all night, calling Gousheng to work hard Going to the stall some days...

Gousheng split two big bare bones, set up hard wood, added seasonings, and boiled a big pot of soup. By midnight, the whole room was full of fragrance.

Stigma smacked his lips while sleeping, drooling for a long time.

Gou Sheng slipped out of the quilt carefully, tucked the quilt up for the little ones, and found a towel to put on the head of the pillow beside the pillow.

There was also movement in the room, Liu Datie whispered to Li Dahua not to get up, and came out wearing a coat.

The father and son poured the soup that had been boiled overnight in the pot into buckets, and the mountain officials also came.

Gou Sheng brought out three bowls of hot soup, and several people drank it indiscriminately and dealt with their stomachs first.

"Are you ready?" Liu Datie asked in a low voice.

Gousheng quickly grabbed two handfuls of grain and drenched it with water, added another ladle of water to the remaining soup in the pot, set up a piece of firewood, covered the pot, and when Li Dahua and the others got up, the stew would be rotten I drank the porridge.

"Just come!"

Liu Datie moved the things on the cart, and told Gou Sheng to sit on it and take a nap.

Last night, the dog got up several times to look at the pot, and just lay down all night.

"I'll cook the soup tonight!" Shanguan frowned and said.

"Forget it, trouble!" Gou Sheng said lazily.

"Go to sleep, I'll squeeze with you for a few nights, and the two of you will take turns!" Shanguan said while helping Liu Datie push the car uphill, panting slightly.

"Need not……"

"Then please trouble Shanguan. Beggar Huaya and Xiaojiu also come to live together for two days. Dandan and Xiaocao will sleep with me and your aunt, and the kang outside is big enough!" Liu Datie interrupted Gousheng.

No wonder Gou Sheng said that he would go to town the next day!Liu Datie felt sorry for his eldest son, and he was reluctant to pay for the business. He had to take care of Li Dahua and the twins, and it was hard to get up at night. It happened that this business was with Shanguan, so it was only natural for him to help...

Gou Sheng leaned against the somewhat warm basket containing the earthen stove and iron bucket, and with the shaking of the cart, his head stabbed down bit by bit.

Shanguan greeted Liu Datie and stopped the cart.

"What's wrong?" Gou Sheng asked in a daze.

"It's okay, you rest, we will call you when we arrive!" Shanguan said softly.

"Well."

Shanguan and Liu Datie leveled the firewood so that Gou Sheng could lie down...

In this way, after being busy for half a month, Gousheng settled the accounts, excluding various costs including Tietong and the daily money handed over to Li Dahua, he also earned more than 600 copper coins, which were distributed to the mountain officials 300 Tong Zi'er, he still has more than [-] Wen, so Gousheng is determined not to rush to the town every day.

Li Dahua was jumping and scolding at the door of the kitchen, "...if my mother's health was a little bit better two years ago, how could I get the two of you to decide... two lazy people, if you have a stutter today, just sleep..."

Liu Datie persuaded in a low voice beside him.

Every time Li Dahua made a fuss, the younger ones would cry in fright, and the whole family was in chaos.

Gou Sheng simply carried the egg and went out.

The past few days were busy, Gousheng bought a bag of sugar, gave Zhutou two yuan a day, and asked Zhutou to dig wild vegetables for Young Master Li, so Gousheng didn't pay attention to this matter, and he still pretended that the young master left long ago up.

There is no need to rush to make soup or pick vegetables tonight, Gou Sheng is wandering outside with eggs.

"Brother Lu!" Dandan kicked his legs several times, as if he had wasted a lot of strength to say two words.

"Well, yes, brother is walking with eggs!" Gou Sheng slowly repeated word by word.

"Du, Du..." Egg said forcefully, a transparent thread fell from the corner of his mouth.

"The egg wants to go by itself?" Gou Sheng asked guessingly.

The egg is still kicking its legs hard.

Gou Sheng put down the egg, held the egg crookedly, and tried to walk forward—only his two legs seemed to be knotted in countless knots, and he couldn't move forward and backward. He didn't take a few steps forward, but the The dog is tired enough.

The child who is almost three years old can't stop drooling.

"Swallow, look at brother, in your mouth, swallow hard!" Gou Sheng made a movement of swallowing saliva.

Dandan stared at Gousheng blankly, not knowing if he understood, Gousheng wiped his chin with the rag hanging on Dandan's chest...

When it was dark, Gou Sheng wandered back.

Li Dahua's complexion is still not very good, but he has calmed down anyway.

"Mother, don't worry, I know it in my heart. The thing we sell is not a rare thing. No one is willing to spend money on it every day. It might be better to go there every other day!" Gou Sheng hurried before Li Dahua opened his mouth. Just explained.

Gousheng gave Darong and Yadan once. When Yang Lingyi and Li Qingyuan were arguing and wanted to eat, the two directly chopped up ribs and returned to stew soup. They picked the best vegetables and put them in. They wanted to eat gnocchi. It's also simple, just scoop out the soup and cook a bowl, and there are meat and bones to eat. It's just a little bit less flavor than the dog leftover!

Li Dahua snorted, "I just can't understand your lazy face!"

Gou Sheng "hehe" laughed twice, "Mom, the egg just talked, and it has to walk by itself!"

Sure enough, Li Dahua was distracted and went to tease the egg, "Really, come on, egg, listen to the sound!"

Egg vaguely made a sound similar to "mother", and Li Dahua immediately smiled.

Tunzili and Li Dahua's family have already begun to suspect that there is something wrong with the eggs. The old lady Li asked Li Dahua secretly once last time, and asked Li Dahua to resist the precedent that someone can only speak when they are three or four years old.

"Mother, look, I'm not idle at home. I'm a big boss, and I can't even settle the simplest accounts. What should I do in the future?" Gou Sheng took the opportunity to continue.

"It's just you who have a lot of things. No one taught you when you were young, so you were born! No one cares about you. How did you grow up so big!" Li Dahua took a sip, holding the egg He went in and put him on the kang to teach him to walk.

Gousheng shook his head, went into the kitchen to help Dacao and Huaya, and prepared to have dinner.

Liu Datie and Shanguan had been busy in the town all day, and when they came back at night, they went to the fields before it was dark.

Gousheng called Baba to guard the pillar by the kitchen door to call people back.

During this period of time, there was going to be a sale of food, and the whole family followed suit. After drinking bone soup for half a month, everyone's face was a little bloody...

The next day, Gou Sheng slept until the sun was high before waking up. He only felt that his bones were crisp from sleep, so he stretched hard on the bed before getting up.

"mother!"

Li Dahua was sitting in the yard, picking baskets, "Get up! The pancakes I left for you are in the pot!"

Gou Sheng responded, and after washing up, he ate the rare pancakes and walked to Shanguan's house.

I haven’t seen the rabbit for a few days. Two days ago, when Dacao and Huaya were feeding, they found that another male rabbit had died. It had been fed for more than half a year, and it was ready for mating. The rabbit weighed three or four catties. After Liu Datie peeled the rabbit, he asked Li Dahua to send it back to her natal family, and brought back two baskets of white cabbage and radishes that had survived the winter.

Shan Guan went to the field, Hua Ya took Xiao Jiu to wash clothes at home, and opened the door for Gou Sheng.

Gou Sheng conveniently stuffed Xiao Jiu with the last bite of the unfinished cornbread, walked over to look into the woodshed, and was pleasantly surprised to find that two larger male rabbits had also started to estrus.

"Hua Ya, help me?" Gou Sheng called out.

Hua Ya wiped her wet hands on her body, and hurried over.

Gou Sheng leaned on the railing and jumped in, caught the two male rabbits that were in heat, called Hua Ya, put them in two larger female rabbit pens, and grabbed an extra handful of rabbits that were washed and dried for these two pens. Grass thrown in.

Now that the rabbit is bigger, there is no need to chop up the grass and feed it!

The male rabbit immediately chased the female rabbit in a circle, making long and short calls...

Even though Li Dahua was not in good health, she couldn’t stay idle. She spent half a day making baskets in the morning, and in the afternoon, she quickly put vegetables and skewers in a clean basket. Tomorrow, she would just use them and pick out good firewood. , split into a size suitable for adding to the earthen stove.

Gou Sheng wanted to help, Li Dahua spit out the sea, told Gou Sheng to just rest for a day - if he didn't become irritable, he would still know how to love his eldest son after all!

With some free time, Gou Sheng thought about reading, told Li Dahua, and went to Dayong's house.

In the yard, Mrs. Sun and several old women of similar age gathered around a willow tree next to them, squinting their eyes and pounding willow baskets together, chatting in a rambling manner.

"Grandma Sun, Granny Wang, Granny Li..." Gou Sheng called over one by one.

"Yo, the leftover dog!"

"He's the son of a blacksmith!"

"It's grown so big..."

"The dog left, why don't you go to play with my kid..."

……

Gou Sheng always hesitated to respond, but fortunately the old ladies didn't really want to answer.

"Go in, your big Rong brother is far away in the room!" Sun Pozi said with a smile.

Gou Sheng responded and walked in quickly, leaving behind the old women's jokes!

Dayong himself carved a chessboard and chess pieces from a wooden board, all polished to a smooth finish, and he was teaching Li Qingyuan how to play chess.

"Brother Big Rong!"

"Brother dog leftover!" Li Qingyuan yelled, and continued to play with the round chess pieces.

"Oh, Gousheng is here!" Darong stood up, took a small plate of red dried dates from the cabinet, and pushed it in front of Gousheng.

This thing is considered a rare thing in this area. It is too cold in winter and warms up very quickly. Few fruits can grow well here. Only weeds and shrubs are the most lush on the mountain, and the few wild fruit trees grow crookedly. Twist, I haven't seen a few fruits throughout the year.

It was just a plate of shriveled red dates, and Gou Sheng felt the saliva in his mouth increasing rapidly, so he forced himself not to look at it.

"Try a little, Xiaoyuan's parents sent someone over!" Darong grabbed a handful and stuffed it with Gousheng, and put the rest at Li Qingyuan's hand.

Gou Sheng smiled embarrassedly.

"How's the business going? Why didn't you go today?" Darong didn't even look at the chessboard, and casually moved a chess piece to the side.

Li Qingyuan was holding a jujube, and with the other hand he was gesturing on the chessboard, taking a long time to move.

"It's okay, take a day off today, and go tomorrow." Gou Sheng replied after swallowing all the scum in his mouth.

"As long as the business is good!" Darong nodded slightly, "Stigs are still delivering wild vegetables to Landlord Yang?"

"It was delivered a few days ago, but I don't know these two days!"

Mentioning this, Gou Sheng thought of the self-conscious and elegant Young Master Li, and immediately had a stomach full of words, "Brother Darong, don't you know that Young Master Li even recited a poem while watching me paw the ground with my father?" , What do you mean by "leisurely" like, I really don't know the situation and pretend to be messy, Brother Da Rong, do you think that scholars are all like this... What kind of "leisure cloud and wild crane" day, he didn't see it when we rushed to collect it , it is purely the young master who is full and has nothing to do, so he feels this way, and it makes people angry..."

Gousheng's "霹雳啪啦" talked a lot, and finally concluded, "People say that a full bottle of water will not make a sound, but a half-bottle is 'bang dang bang dang', so there is no need to be a joke!"

The corners of Dayong's mouth rose higher and higher, and he finally couldn't help laughing when he heard Gousheng's last words, "Did you hear that, Qingyun!"

Gou Sheng turned his head and saw that Young Master Li, who had been wandering around the village accompanied by Landlord Yang's two eldest sons a few days ago, was standing at the door.

"Uh, ah..." Gou Sheng murmured for a long time, but didn't say anything.

Li Qingyun had an extremely strange look on his face, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Third brother!" Li Qingyuan called out.

"He is Yuan Yuan's elder brother, so he came to visit Xiao Yuan this time, and brought some things here!" Darong introduced.

Gousheng pretended to be stupid and laughed "hehe".

"Hmph, are we scholars all like this? You know? But 'Fifty Steps Laughing at Hundred Steps'! I don't know the hardships of peasants' lives, but I still go to this remote place to see, what about you? Do you want to see it? Follow me?" Li Qingyun said provocatively.

"Yes, yes, what Young Master Li said makes sense..." Gou Sheng stared at the chessboard and responded repeatedly, not daring to look at anyone.

There was nothing wrong with saying this, but it happened that an old woman came in to pour water to drink, she listened to the words halfway, and went back to tell her daughter-in-law.

When Gousheng went to the town again, Li Dahua happily asked Gousheng, it was rumored in the village that the young master who was a guest at Landlord Yang’s house wanted to take Gousheng as his partial husband, and Gousheng had a great luck , The rest of my life will be a good life to be served by others!

"Mother, stop talking nonsense!" Gou Sheng said dumbfounded.

"I don't know you yet!" Li Dahua continued beamingly, "You look like an honest person, but you are so proud inside. Last year when you were playing at your grandma's house, your uncle's cousin wanted to be your bride. Grandma, grandpa, uncles, which ones are not joking, you are blocked before my mother speaks, because you don’t like your cousin’s snotty nose..."

"Mom!" Gou Sheng yelled.

"Okay, let's not talk about this!" Li Dahua waved his hand, "What mother means is, no matter what those gossip women say, they are jealous. If you want me to say, fame is nothing, it is serious for you to enjoy happiness in the future!"

"That's not it. How could Young Master Li say that kind of thing? That day when my son said bad things about people behind his back, he was caught..." Gou Sheng hurriedly told the whole story.

"Really? Don't come here to coax my old lady. The second wife of Ren Wang said that she heard it with her own ears. Could it be wrong!" Li Dahua frowned halfway, and her voice rose unconsciously.

"Nothing, mother! Listen to me, don't think about this kind of thing, tell people to laugh at me, I'm a big man, I can't support myself or what? What a good day! Hear someone say that again , I should give her a big-eared sunflower seed!" Gou Sheng's voice became louder.

"You are saying that you are going to slap your old lady!" Li Dahua pointed at the dog's nose and cursed, "You dog, my old lady has raised you for so many years, so I asked you to slap my old lady!"

"I did not mean that……"

"Then what do you mean! It's just a scumbag, isn't it? A little cleverness is great! My old lady has crossed more bridges than you have walked. I don't know what a good life is! What's the use of trying to save face? It's important to eat well and dress warmly! I know you have a big heart, and you don't even look at what you look like. If you can make a side room for others, it means that the ancestral graves of the old Liu family have smoked for several generations... Bah, what, even your old lady It's all reversed..." Li Dahua spit and spat far away, and an abnormal flush appeared on her sallow face.

"What's the matter?" Liu Datie came in from the outside with a basket on his back, and quickly grabbed Li Dahua, who was eager to eat people, and asked.

"When did I feel that I was great! If you think it's a good day, you have been there yourself, don't come and grab me!" Gou Sheng roared, threw the wooden ladle in his hand to the ground, and rushed out.

The more Gousheng thinks about it, the more wronged he becomes. Although he doesn't know why he was reincarnated as a human being and still remembers the events of his previous life, his feelings since he was a child are not fake. He has never felt that he is different just because there are more things in his mind. I have been working so hard all these years, let my younger brothers and sisters eat what is good, and I really take it to my parents...

Shanguan didn't know what happened until he went to dinner.

Dacao took a big bowl, filled a bowl of porridge and put it in the pot to keep for Gousheng.

"Keep what, he's not capable, let's see if he's hungry!" Li Dahua slapped his chopsticks on the small table and said sharply.

"Big Hua'er!" Liu Datie called out in a low voice, "Put it there, Dacao, come and eat!"

Li Dahua snorted, drank the porridge in two mouthfuls, and entered the room angrily.

The mountain official also put away the bowls and chopsticks, "Uncle Liu, I'm going to find Gousheng."

Liu Datie nodded, "Call the man back, persuade him, come back and talk if you have something to say!"

The mountain official responded and walked out of the room quickly.

There are only a few stars left outside.

The mountain official stared all the way there, but didn't dare to say anything - Gou Sheng is not a talkative person, and he doesn't want to be entangled in gossip, so he will definitely not be in a place where people come and go - and finally in a small ditch by the field The huddled man was found.

The terrain of this ditch is relatively high, and there was still a bit of mud when the spring thawed. Gou Sheng used to love to touch things here, but now it has completely dried up. The weeds in it grow vigorously, and the two of them even mowed the rabbit several times to go back ...

……

The author has something to say: As for the stigma, Jiang Yue thinks that this is what a normal little boy looks like, and the ones like Gousheng and Shanguan are the only ones, ha ha!Finally, just a spoiler, Young Master Li is really a soy saucer, and he will never appear again soon!However, his legacy is far-reaching...
