Hua Ya paused for a moment, "You work hard, what is due to you this month is still yours."

"Don't worry, little lady!"

The old lady left with a smile on her face.

Hua Ya didn't have this kind of tact before, no matter how much Gou Sheng taught her, she wished she could peel a piece of copper into two flowers. After two years of living in a small family, Biyu, and someone waiting for her, she finally broadened her horizons.

When Xiao Jiu and the twins came back in the evening, they were naturally full of surprises.

Xiao Jiu was calmer, and the twins jumped up screaming.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, I miss you so much!"

The little monkeys usually cling to Gou Sheng's body, and when they got excited, they even forgot the name, and called back the original name directly.

Da Shuang also grinned happily, looking up at Gou Sheng without blinking his eyes.

Gou Sheng put his arms around Xiao Shuang and walked into the house, "Your sister Hua Ya cut some new clothes for you, go in and try them on first."

The twins cheered together...

Living in Da Rong's house for three days, Gou Sheng ran to the post station every day, hoping for a letter from the capital.

On this day, after the brothers had a random dinner at the night market, Gou Sheng sent him back and took another math test before preparing to leave.

"Brother, wait a minute." Xiao Jiu chased him out and shouted.

Gou Sheng stood at the door and gave a puzzled "hmm".

"Did brother go to the capital?" Xiao Jiu took a breath and asked courageously.

"You don't need to coax me. I have been studying in Jiaxing City for the past few years. The soldiers who went to build the canal came back last summer. I specifically inquired about it. Some of the soldiers who went out with them went to the capital. A while ago, a classmate from the government school said that his cousin had just returned from the capital city and was missing a leg. The aunt almost cried her eyes out, and even blamed their family for not doing anything at the beginning... The eldest brother was not in the military camp. With a little foundation, it sounds like going to the capital is not a good thing, I'm afraid it will fall on the big brother..."

In the first few sentences, Xiao Jiu was still a little hesitant. The more she spoke later, the more convinced Xiao Jiu became, and she guessed herself one by one. For a while, Gou Sheng couldn't refute, so he forced a smile and said, "You just have to be good." Good at reading, I brought your sister here this time just to wait for news from your elder brother, these are just hearsay, you are a scholar, you should know that what you hear is not what you see..."

"Okay, I'll listen to my brother!"

Gou Sheng couldn't bear it any longer, he patted Xiao Jiu on the shoulder indiscriminately, and was about to go out.

"Brother, if something really happens, you have to tell me, I am no longer a child." Xiao Jiu shouted from behind.

"Understood!" Gou Sheng replied, and quickly walked out of the yard without looking back, feeling choked in his throat, so sore that he couldn't speak, if he stayed here for a while, he might be caught by Xiao Jiu clues.

After a few days of going to the post station full of hope to wait for the news, he returned disappointed. His heart was already suffering so much. How could he not change his face when he was touched for a while!

By the eighth day of staying in Jiaxing, Hua Ya had already fixed the parts of the new clothes that didn't fit a few people, and Zhu Tou was able to go out alone to buy groceries for Xiao Jiu and the others.

Another day, another day, maybe there will be news...

Gou Sheng smiled wryly, "Hua Ya, pack up your things, let's tell Granny Sun and Brother Darong tomorrow, and we'll be on our way early the morning after tomorrow."

Hua Ya replied in disappointment, knowing that her elder brother would not be coming back for the time being.

The so-called impermanence.

Gou Sheng had already given up hope, but when Dayong came back at noon the next day, he brought a letter with him.

"He wrote it to me, and since it was the address of the military camp, the clerk at the post sent it over first, otherwise I'm afraid I might have missed it." Darong said gently.

Gou Sheng took the letter. The mountain official used two layers of oil-skinned paper. The outer layer of fire seal had been torn off. He couldn't wait to open the envelope inside. There was only a thin piece of paper, which simply stated that he wanted to If you stay here to teach newcomers how to use muskets, you will come back half a year later than the others. Don't worry, you will definitely be back before the Chinese New Year this year.

Gou Sheng handed his heart to Hua Ya who was eagerly looking at him, heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little sour in his heart, just these few words, haven't seen each other for several years, and didn't even have to say anything else, Anyway, I want to send a letter back, so it won't matter if I say a few more words...

"It will take half a year to come back!" Hua Ya muttered.

"It's good to know that he is fine. Let's go back first, wait a few months and then clean up the yard. When someone comes back, we will have a reunion year together in Liushutun." Gou Sheng said briskly.

"That's right!" Hua Ya was always happy.

In the evening, the two went over to show Xiao Jiu the letter.

Zhutou found some materials in the past few days, and was helping Xiaojiu and the twins to repair the house, nailed the broken or creaking tables and chairs on the roof and windows, and stayed there all the time.

"We'll go back tomorrow morning. Although you Brother Darong won't mind, it's not good to live in someone else's house all the time. You don't talk much here, but you can't learn much. The most important thing is Behavior, I spend 27 taels of silver with the three of you every year, and you can live together and divide it up to you. It’s not that the family can’t afford more. I just hope that you can understand how to manage your own money. Although some scholars look down on these dudes things, but a person’s life is basically basic necessities of life... do you understand? People from our family don’t want to put on airs like scholars!”

"Understood, brother!"

The twins agreed in unison. After half a year outside, they really gained some knowledge, and they also had a circle in their advances and retreats.

"Follow my brother's instruction." Xiao Jiu also said calmly.

"We'll leave early tomorrow morning, and you still have to go to school, so don't send them off." Hua Ya came in with a few cups of hot tea and explained.

"It doesn't matter, little brother, you leave early, we get up earlier, and we won't delay school."

Although it was Hua Ya's words that should be answered, Xiao Jiu said it to Gou Sheng.

"You can make up your own mind about such trivial matters." Gou Sheng said, "Let's go to your big brother's house for dinner tonight, and meet your Yadan brother and Yang Lingyi."

"The young master is coming too!" Zhutou exclaimed in surprise.

Gou Sheng nodded.

When Young Master Yang San was still in the village, Zhu Tou and him were the best playmates.

A group of people locked the courtyard door, walked through a few streets, and arrived at the Darong courtyard.

Yadan is already here with Young Master Yang San.

The third young master Yang has finally got a stick in the past few years. Although his stature is not high, he is no longer chubby like he was when he was a child. He is still fairer and tenderer than ordinary boys. A nasty good boy.

A few days ago, the duck egg was out of business and only came back yesterday.

Mrs. Yang is getting old, and Yang Lingyi has been raised by Yang Lingyi since he was a child, and his family doesn't expect him to achieve any success in reading. In the past few years, he has been going back to the village to accompany the old man for more than half a year, and he only arrived seven or eight days ago. Those in Jiaxing City are obviously waiting for the news of Duck Egg.

Yang Lingyi was sitting next to Yadan. He was sixteen years old this year, and he and Yadan had passed Minglu years ago.

After all, Mrs. Yang has suffered a lot of damage to her body. Seeing that she has not had a good life for a few years, she can't let go of her little grandson alone. For the past two years, she has been looking forward to finding someone she can trust for her little grandson to live with. In the case of Landlord Yang's family, I have no intention of giving my youngest son to someone else's family, and besides, young master Yang already has the reputation of a scholar, even in Qingpu Town, he can be regarded as a well-known family.

Mrs. Yang also fell in love with several girls with good family backgrounds and dispositions. The last one even changed the Geng Tie. After Gou Sheng heard about it, he was still worried about Duck Dan, and then it was rumored that Yang Lingyi was ill. News, that family is not an old-fashioned family who is willing to push the girl to the fire pit, and immediately found a reason for the incompatibility, and the two families discussed the relationship and resigned; the second girl is a daughter of a family, born weak and weak Yes, the two families were satisfied when they met, but this time Yang Lingyi did not have any problems, and the girl fell ill again.

"I was born so thin and weak. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married in the future. Then I went to inquire about Juren, but it's just a face. There is no real wealth in it. It's just a name that sounds better. We Lingyun can't say that we will be Juren next year." Woolen cloth!"

Mrs. Yang didn't want to, and complained to Landlord Yang several times, and the two families had nothing to do.

It is said that the girl later married his cousin and became pregnant within two months, without even coughing.

The third girl only asked about it, and Yang Lingyi lay on the bed and groaned, only saying that he was not feeling well, Gou Sheng even went to visit him once, and got a pulse, his heart was like a mirror.

It's okay to say it once, it's just a coincidence twice, and it's unreasonable to say it three times.

Mrs. Yang lay anxiously on the bed for more than half a month. She drank bitter medicine juice for three meals a day and did not improve. Drink, Mrs. Yang was kind-hearted, and asked the villain to bring two steamed buns, just in time to see Yang Lingyi who was helping Mrs. Yang to send the doctor out, and sighed three times in a row.

Mrs. Yang heard what her servants said, and hurriedly asked someone to chase the monk back, and took it to the inner room, and asked him carefully.

"Your family is all good people, and the descendants should have far-reaching blessings, but this young master has lost this natural blessing for some reason. One lamented the rough childhood of the young master, two sighed that his youth was not going well, and three lamented his bleak future... ..."

"Master, what should be the explanation?" Mrs. Yang leaned on the soft couch, startled in her heart. Could it be that this little grandson suffered from a stubborn illness when he was a child, and now his marriage is not going well? The first two are all right, so she asked anxiously .

The monk made some calculations with his fingers, and only said that he should find someone who has the aura of murder to suppress him, and then cut off the fate of his own children and grandchildren, so that he can live in peace and prosperity for the rest of his life.

Mrs. Yang asked more questions, but the monk refused to say more.

"In this way, we will repay the family's kindness of water and food!"

After all, regardless of Mrs. Yang's persuasion to "float away", she never appeared again.

Mrs. Yang became more and more convinced that he must be an expert, and she believed in what he said. After thinking about it for more than three months, she immediately called the duck back. The house is full of snacks and candies...

The duck egg has been delayed until the age of 20 without getting married. Anyone with a discerning eye should have seen his intentions. Besides, Yang Lingyi himself is very willing, but Landlord Yang and Mrs. Yang are unwilling. As soon as he said it, he lay on the bed and said he couldn't breathe, but he had no choice but to comply with Yang Lingyi and Yadan's wishes...

Gou Sheng looked at the satiated duck egg, and guessed the truth in his heart, maybe it was all planned by this person!

Although landlord Yang's family came forward to distribute the snacks, they were called duck eggs to Landlord Yang's house in name, but in fact, if it wasn't for Mrs. Yang who dragged her along, Yang Lingyi might have taken root in the small courtyard of duck egg Jiaxing City.

Duck Dan has advanced to another level this year, and now he is also an eighth-rank military general. His mother has her own livelihood, and besides, he has a few older brothers, so they don't want to squeeze with the youngest son. The two bought a house for servants. , living alone in the courtyard of a military household, the small life is indescribably comfortable.

"Goofy, you're here!"

Ya Dan stood up, hugged Gou Sheng, and patted Gou Sheng's back with a little force on his hand.

"Brother Gousheng, Brother Zhutou!" Yang Lingyi shouted while sitting on a high stool.

"I don't even want to get up..." Yadan said helplessly, "There are sisters and brothers, so don't say hello!"

"It doesn't matter, these are trivial matters, aren't they, Ling Yi!" Gou Sheng said with a smile.

That's it, Yang Lingyi's mouth was pouted high.

Duck Egg hugged him in his arms and coaxed him up. After a long time, he agreed to some unknown reasons such as walking [-] steps back at night and taking [-] steps on his back, and taking a sip of sugar sous before going to bed. Yang Ling Yicai smiled again.

During the period, I also dragged back and saw more than a dozen sentences about such trivial matters as having to rinse my mouth after eating Tangsu at night.

Gou Sheng imagined that if he had such a darling lover, he couldn't help but tremble a bit. Compared with this, although his one was sold by force, it was still quite satisfactory. He also thought that others would come back before the Chinese New Year this year. With this Hope, the depression of these days has finally dissipated, but there is still resentment, and when someone comes back, he will have a good calculation with him, but he will not change his face in front of outsiders.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to spoil him like this!"

Gou Sheng waited for Yang Lingyi, Li Qingyuan and Zhutou to go out to play before reminding them a little.

Fortunately, in such a weird society, except for those who can't afford a wife or support their children, people may gossip about duck eggs and Yang Lingyi who are rushing to live together, but they are not unacceptable.

"Xiaoyi has been in poor health since he was a child, just in case something happens, I'm afraid he will be ahead of me, so I will just take care of him for the rest of my life." Yadan said with a peaceful smile on his face.

Since Ya Dan said so himself, Gou Sheng stopped talking, and asked about the changes in Jiaxing City in the past six months.

Dayong came in after arranging dinner-related matters, just in time to hear this back and forth conversation.

The sound of three children laughing came from the yard.

"We have only been in this life for a few decades. First, we have not done anything harmful to the world, and second, we have not hindered anyone. The mouth grows on our body, and the people around us are not good-natured, and their mouths are full of excrement. We still have to care about those excrement." No way!" Darong opened his chair and sat down, then raised his voice slightly and said, "If everything is lived according to other people's word of mouth, are you living for others or living for yourself!"

In the previous life, he grew up with rich clothes and rich food, and he had to follow the rules in everything, and followed a road that everyone thought was good. In the end, he was a high-ranking official and generous salary.

Da Rong listened attentively to Li Qingyuan's laughter outside, and the haze on his face slowly dissipated.

Yadan smiled and patted Darong's shoulder, and said, "That's the reason, it's not impossible to just want to silence the world, but it will take a lot of effort, so it will be quieter."

Da Rong also chuckled lightly.

Gou Sheng stared blankly at the two people with high spirits in front of him, he was a little dazed for a moment, wasting his last life in an era when people were open-minded and different sexual orientations were increasingly accepted, and because of those things, he was almost on the verge of begging So far, being a human being in the second life, and the experience of the two lives combined, it can't compare with the friends who were born and bred in the village!

"Come back to your senses!" Ya Dan shouted, shaking his hands in front of Gou Sheng's eyes.

Gou Sheng raised his head abruptly, and smiled concealedly.

"I know you have a lot of thoughts, but you don't have to!" Yadan laughed.

"I'm afraid I miss his family so much." Darong said a rare joke.

"Believe it or not, I will coax Xiaoyuan and me to go back to the village for a few days. Let him catch the rabbits all over the mountain, and play with the water in the hot spring pool. Do you think he wants to!" Gou Sheng looked sideways at the two of them and said, " Mrs. Yang said a few days ago that there is nothing she can do if she misses her little grandson, she is afraid that she will have a few days to live, and she wants to ask her little grandson to accompany her!"

The two looked at each other, knowing that if Gou Sheng was coaxing people in a serious manner, they were afraid that they would really be able to coax people away, so they went forward together, grabbed Gou Sheng, shoved and laughed.

Grandma Sun listened to the movement in the room with a soothing expression on her face.

"old lady!"

The woman who followed called out.

"Come on, let's go back and let a few young children join us." Grandma Sun said in a low voice.

The mother-in-law responded, and helped Grandma Sun back to the room. She saw that Gou Sheng was not quite right when he was saying goodbye in the morning, and she was going to ask before going to bed, but now there is no need for it.

When everything was ready in the kitchen, after coming in to report, a few people caught the little ones in to wash their hands and faces, and wiped off the dust on the gowns. After they sat down, all the food and wine happened to be on the table.

A few good friends who grew up together drank until they were slightly drunk, and then they talked about everything when they were drinking. It was really the so-called talking about drinking and talking, and they made a fuss until midnight before they settled down.

The next day, the sun was already slightly westward, and Gou Sheng drove the carriage slowly to the outside of the city gate.

Not only did Xiaojiu and the twins come, but Darong and Yadan trotted along the side of the carriage for a long distance. After Gousheng persuaded and persuaded, they stopped.

Li Qingyuan and Yang Lingyi chatted excitedly with Zhutou in the car.

"Stigma, Zhuto, can we really play in the pool forever?" Yang Lingyi asked again.

Yang Lingyi was in poor health when he was a child, and suffered from asthma and respiratory allergies. He had never played in water since he was a child.

"Yes, I asked my brother, the water in there is always hot, soaking in it is good for your health, and the surrounding flowers have already been pulled out." The stigma replied tirelessly.

"I want to catch a rabbit and roast it myself!" Li Qingyuan shouted loudly.

"Okay, but you can't be in the woods, you have to find an open place." The pillar responded and reminded again.

Gousheng occasionally came to the mountain when he was in the mood, and took a few younger brothers and sisters to the mountain, and brought seasoned vegetables and pork belly to the mountain to spend an afternoon in the wild barbecue. Li Qingyuan's request was not difficult.

Gousheng was just joking last night, but he didn't expect that when a few little guys were playing wildly in the yard, they talked about the things in the village, and the two really hooked up and wanted to go back to the village to play.

The group was delayed for a long time, and when Darong and Yadan came back from the barracks, they packed up their things and explained countless things before they were able to set off.

Because there were two more little ancestors, it took a day and a half longer to go back than to come, and it was already the third night when we got home.

"What's the matter? The mountain official didn't come back? What did Darong say?" Li Dahua rushed over and asked like a cannonball.

"Mother, please slow down. I have already got the definite news. I will definitely be back before the Chinese New Year this year. Let's not talk about this. Look, who is here!" Gou Sheng said as he stopped the carriage.

Li Bo, the porter, immediately stepped forward to help hold the horse.

Zhutou jumped off first, stood behind the carriage, helped Li Qingyuan and Yang Lingyi to jump down one after another.

Li Dahua squinted his eyes and looked at the past, thought for a while, then laughed and called out, "It's Qingyuan's good third young master, this is really a rare guest, come in and sit down!"

"Hi, Auntie, I'm going to bother you these few days." Li Qingyuan said with a smile.

"Hey, why bother me, I'm afraid you're not used to living in the city..." Li Dahua said with an exaggerated smile.

"Okay, auntie, tell my grandma and parents when I go back!" Yang Lingyi trotted out while talking.

Yang Lingyi's body has been consulted by several famous doctors over the years, and it has been taken care of carefully. It is basically no different from ordinary people. It has not suffered from asthma in the past few years, and running and jumping is not a problem. I live at home, such chronic diseases, according to the level of traditional Chinese medicine here, can afford the money for medicine and food, and they are cared for delicately and preciously, and they are more effective than western medicine in later generations. It only takes water and effort, decades You have to live a happy life to get rid of the roots. This is also an important reason why Mrs. Yang and Landlord Yang finally agreed to Yang Lingyi to live with Yadan. No matter how you choose, it will be difficult to find someone who can take care of him better than Yadan.

"Wait a minute, I'll take you there!" Zhu Tou quickly chased after him.

"I know the way..."

The voices of the two gradually faded away.

The corners of Gousheng's mouth curled up. Neither Darong nor Yadan were foolish people. Although they spoiled their two children a little, they didn't spoil them.

"Why did the two of them come back with you?" Li Dahua asked in a low voice.

Hua Ya had already led Li Qingyuan in, and Hua Ya was in charge of arranging the guest room.

There are servants at home, and the rooms are cleaned regularly, and they can live in directly after putting on new mattresses.

"I just came back today, so I must be tired. I'll have dinner later, and go to the mountain with my little brother to take a bath and sleep comfortably." Hua Ya opened all the windows of the wing room to ventilate, and quickly The quick-footed person helped spread the mattress in person, and said in his mouth.

Without Dayong around, most of Li Qingyuan's capriciousness would not show back, so he obediently complied...

Yang Lingyi went back and pestered him for some reason, and even said that the old lady had let him stay there for the night, and only the landlord's house sent things here every now and then.

The stigma is stable, and the egg is even more rigid. Gou Sheng accompanied a few young ones to the mountain to play twice, and then let them go.

Li Qingyuan and Yang Lingyi ran wildly on the mountain with Zhutou every day. When they were tired from playing, they soaked in the hot springs and went back to have a good sleep. They ate well, and their bones seemed to be strong, and their calves already had the shape of muscles.

Now that life is better, the spirit of leisure and enjoyment in Gousheng’s bones has come out. Every day, he only picks up the things he likes and does it slowly. He must eat and drink to his heart’s content. , taking care of the more precious medicinal materials in the collection, after sleeping, I have time to go to the mountains in the afternoon, and the day is over; the food and drink must be completely satisfactory, and now I have gone to the heart. Longing, the whole day people exude a peaceful and comfortable spirit from inside to outside. The children in the village are willing to get close to him, but the adults are afraid to get close to others due to various reasons. Said, even stopped his own doll, Gou Sheng didn't care, the supervisor enjoyed his life!

"Brother, brother, mother is arguing with someone!"
