Celestial grabs dog food

……

My family has a carriage, and I am used to taking this road. I galloped all the way, found a hotel for a rest at night, and arrived in Jiaxing City at noon the next day.

Because he was thinking that Shan Guan would come back indefinitely, Gou Sheng made an agreement with the neighbor who rented the yard a few years ago. This year, he will only rent it for one season. It has been taken back this month, but it has not been cleaned up. The three of them still live in the big house. Rong family.

Grandma Sun sighed for a long time when Gou Sheng said that Mrs. Li was gone.

"She's younger than me, and she looked tough a few years ago. Your mother was uncomfortable, and she walked to our Liushutun with half a basket of eggs..."

"Grandma, I don't like hearing you say this!" Li Qingyuan said, throwing his head into Grandma Sun's arms.

Darong had taught Li Qingyuan to speak the official language long ago, but the two of them still spoke the local dialect with Mrs. Sun.

Grandma Sun put her arms around Li Qingyuan and asked someone to squeeze her into a low couch.

"Okay, okay, we don't like to hear it far away, so mother-in-law won't talk about it!" Grandma Sun said, wiping the corners of her eyes with a towel.

Grandma Sun lived with Darong, took care of her with good soup and medicine, and relaxed her mind. After all, she made up some of it. Although she was old, her mind was still clear and her hands and feet were flexible.

In such a peaceful time, it is not easy for a military officer to be promoted, but Darong somehow made friends with the special envoy who came from Beijing last time. When the special envoy left, he had already called Darong brothers. The year of correspondence has not been broken, and through the introduction of the special envoy, I met the magistrate. Without friendship, no matter what you do, it is much more convenient. In order to balance the military camp and the government office, the military camp also has a general of the highest rank, the fourth rank, and a few other ranks. It's Qian Zong who is the sixth grade.

In Jiaxing City, the officials of the sixth grade have already been ranked well. Darong did not buy a new courtyard, but still lived in the small courtyard allocated to him at the beginning. people.

"...There are more people growing sweet potatoes and potatoes in the village now, and few people go hungry in winter... The big willow tree at the entrance of the village was half broken by the strong wind last winter. Oh, the trunk that the few people hugged has long been covered by insects. The moth is empty, and everyone is already dead. Unexpectedly, in the spring of this year, a dense layer of shoots will grow again. Some naughty kids will hollow out the scum inside. A few children like to drill in and play. Once, the two brothers fell asleep in it, and told them that my mother would be easy to find..."

Grandma Sun is too old to travel around, and she hasn't been back to Liushutun in recent years.

Gou Sheng picked up trivia about the village, and Grandma Sun listened with great interest, and the old and the young chatted for a long time.

When Darong came back, Grandma Sun had ordered three courses of tea for Gou Sheng.

After listening for a while, Li Qingyuan realized that he couldn't sit still when he was young, so he dragged the stigma to the market.

Grandma Sun is a villager, so she doesn't stick to her little grandson, she just asks the two boys to follow her.

"There's really no other child like a dog. Tsk tsk, no child is willing to chat with my old lady for half a day!" Grandma Sun said contentedly after taking a sip of tea and eating another piece of dessert.

Da Rong chuckled a few times to express his understanding, if he didn't even have this bit of insight in the experience of his two lifetimes, he should be alone for the rest of his life...

"Grandma Sun, I'm an old man, and I can say hello after a few words. You are happy that we are from the same village!" Gou Sheng said with a smile.

A flower bloomed on Grandma Sun's face.

"It's a pity that you are not a doll, otherwise it would be great to be our Da Rong's wife!"

"Grandmother, you have been sitting here for a long time, go out for a walk, pick some young sweet potato leaves and steam a bowl of steamed vegetables for you to eat, okay?" Darong said gently.

People say old and young, old and young, old people are like children.

Grandma Sun likes rotten soft things when she is old. Her favorite is rotten meat and vegetables that are steamed together. It is a pity that the old man has a bad stomach, and it is easy to get upset after eating. Da Rong easily does not allow the kitchen to cook this for Grandma Sun.

Upon hearing Darong's words, Mrs. Sun agreed happily, leaning on a cane and preparing to go out to pick vegetables and leaves.

The two serving women hurriedly followed.

"Go and sit in the living room, it's brighter over there."

Gou Sheng agreed, got up and walked outside.

The little girl served another tea.

Gou Sheng explained his intention.

"There are more than 20 people who came back first, all of them..." Da Rong paused, "They are all disabled. It is a good thing that there is no news from the mountain officials. You stay here for a few days, and then inquire about it. There is a letter back."

Gou Sheng nodded, "That's good, what do people who came back say?"

"They didn't know much. It was probably because of this that they were able to come back early. They said that they first practiced for half a year before they started to get in touch with muskets, and they learned for another three months before they got started. There were more than a dozen people in the first half month. Injured by the bombing, they were all seriously injured before they learned how to do it. They lived in the capital for a year before they survived. They were the first to leave the capital after three years. They would no longer be able to serve as soldiers, but they were not removed from the military households. , as usual every month, I don’t know the rest.” Dayong slowly told what he had learned.

"They went together, is there any news from the mountain officials?" Gou Sheng asked hastily.

"I've inquired for you a long time ago." Darong frowned slightly and said, "They were injured first, and they were recuperating alone in a yard, and they didn't know about the others."

Gou Sheng lowered his eyelids in disappointment, picked up his teacup and moistened his lips in a concealed manner.

"You don't need to worry, there should be news anyway, and it's not that Shan Guan has not returned alone!"

"That's right!" Gou Sheng answered with vigor, "I'm going to bother you again. Our small yard hasn't been cleaned yet, and we have to buy things again. I don't know when he will come back. We can wait until we have a letter of approval to sort it out." Well, there are only two wing rooms in the courtyard of Xiaojiu and the two little brothers, and we still have Huaya, so it is not easy to settle down."

"It's a trivial matter, it's nothing, and it's not that there are no vacant rooms." Darong said with a smile.

In fact, before Dayong came back, Grandma Sun had already ordered Gousheng to put their luggage away, and Gousheng was just saying politely.

"Brother, you're back, why didn't you call me on the street!" Li Qingyuan rushed in with a "boom-boom" and threw himself at Darong.

"I'm talking to your doggy brother, it's not good for you to play for a while..." Darong said softly.

Even so, Li Qingyuan's mouth still pouted...

Da Rong had a social meeting in the afternoon, and Gou Sheng was already familiar with Jiaxing City, so he led Hua Ya and Zhu Tou slowly to the official school.

"This is Yipintang's dim sum shop. Your younger brothers love it. There is none in the town. Let's buy some early tomorrow when their dim sum is just out of the oven...there is a night market over there after dark, so today is the Well, let’s take a good rest after we’re on our way, let’s go and see tomorrow, and buy some silk flowers with my mother and younger sisters…”

Although Gou Sheng was thinking about it in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, telling Zhutou all the way about the food on the street.

Hua Ya lowered her head slightly, and quietly followed Gou Sheng closely, without opening her mouth much.

As a government, Jiaxing City, in addition to officials, there are also local rich families, merchants, etc., and there are not no dudes who are waiting to rob civilian girls on the street. Therefore, it is better for girls to go to the street to keep a low profile.

Zhu Tou only felt that his eyes were not enough to see. The city was indeed different from Qingpu Town. People were passing by on the street, but they could only walk on the side. They are all hung high in conspicuous places, and the shops are kept spotless. There are small two-story buildings in a row. If you look at them one by one, you may not be able to walk through a street in a day...

The closer you go to the vicinity of the government school, the more crowded the shops are, selling everything, especially for students.

"Here we are." Gou Sheng barked.

At the beginning, the renting of the yard was done by Gousheng. Hua Ya didn't know the location, so when he heard this, he looked up.

Gousheng has already opened the door.

The hired woman only comes here every morning and evening, sweeps and tidies up, cooks two meals a day, and doesn't stay here the rest of the time, so Gousheng also keeps a key in his hand.

The yard is so small that it can't even park a carriage. Xiao Jiu is a person who has lived a hard life. He has planted vegetables in the only small area, but because of neglect, the land is also barren and grows sparsely. It is said to be a small courtyard, but there are only two small wing rooms, one for living and the other for kitchen. A small shed is built beside it to store firewood and other sundries, and it is separated from other houses by a wall around it.

Gou Sheng opened the door and went in. Seeing that the inside and outside of the house were still clean, and the kitchen had been cleaned, he nodded slightly in his heart.

Hua Ya has already started to put away the things brought to her younger brothers with agility.

"If you are still curious, go for a walk around by yourself, just don't get lost." Gou Sheng said leaning on the kang.

The face of Zhutou showed longing, but he hesitated under his feet.

"How old is he, I dare not go out on the street by myself!" Gou Sheng said lazily.

Stigma rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, and said hello to Hua Ya before going out.

In the kitchen, Hua Ya put away the specially brought bacon, smoked rabbit, dried fish and so on.

Gou Leaned quietly on the kang, and couldn't stop thinking about that person.

What kind of person is, I haven't really seen it, no matter how I speculate on the positive side, I can't really feel at ease in the end, and besides, after a few years, how can I not want to!

When the hired woman came over, Hua Ya said that she would be given five days off.

"Little lady, what's the salary?"

The woman was not happy about the holiday, but cared about the money.

This is also the reason why Gousheng is relieved to hire such a woman for a few little guys. He comes here every morning and evening to cook and clean up. It costs three hundred coppers a month, and occasionally there is a small change left over when buying vegetables. For a woman Speaking of it, it is really the best job. The whole family counts on this salary to improve their lives. If the owner wants to change people, I don’t know how many people are eager to do it, so the woman does not dare to steal it. Treacherous and slippery.
