Chapter 113 Entering Luoyang City in Xijing for the first time

In the blink of an eye, on August 14, early in the morning, the husband and wife who were having breakfast suddenly heard someone shouting outside:

"Mr. Xiao."

"It's the village chief here."

Xiao Guoliang and Sun hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Guoliang was in front, and Sun picked up Xiao Yiran on the kang and walked outside the house. At this time, the village chief had already come to the courtyard, and there were seven or eight neighbors behind him, men and women, old and young.

"The village chief is here, let's go and sit in the house."

Xiao Guoliang opened his mouth and gave way.

"No, is Mr. Xiao leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"This is a year's bundle of repair, five taels of silver."

The village chief said as he handed a small cloth bag to Xiao Guoliang. Then he escaped from his bosom a string of money, handed it over, and said:

"This is a little money I made up for Mr. Xiao."

At this time, seven or eight people behind the village chief also stepped forward one after another, some handed over a dozen copper coins, and some handed over a string of copper coins like the village chief, saying the same words as the village chief.

"Mr. Xiao, don't be too little, make up some travel expenses for Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Guoliang pushed for a while, and finally took it in his hand and handed it to the Sun family beside him.

"Let the village chief and the blind date break the bill again."

"Mr. Xiao don't be polite to us, for a few years, Mr. Xiao has not disliked us for being poor here, and he has bothered to teach those children in the village, and the big guys are grateful to Mr., and they don't have much money, just show their hearts."

Sun also opened his mouth to invite everyone to the house to drink water, and the village chief said:

"I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning, so let's pack up and won't bother you. We congratulate Mr. High School in advance. When the time comes, don't forget to check back. ”

"Look at what the village chief said. Whether I, Xiao Guoliang, can win or not, I will always come back to teach the children. ”

The group said a few more polite words before leaving.

After breakfast, the husband and wife began to clean up. Actually, there is nothing to pack, just two or three pieces of clothing, a burden of dry food, and then Xiao Yiran's diapers and so on.

Xiao Yiran's family rushed to Luoyang City in Xijing on the afternoon of 15 August. First, he walked more than 20 miles from the village before stopping a mule cart pulling vegetables, Sun sat on the wheel with Xiao Yiran in his arms, and Xiao Guoliang and the kind coachman walked.

At the end of the day, Xiao Guoliang, who has always been weak, was already tired. I found a very cheap inn, and the room fee was two dollars of silver per night, and the three people lived in it. The township test is to enter the venue in the morning of the 17th day, one every day, a total of three exams, namely the trial strategy, the trial theory, the trial poetry three sessions, and the 19th afternoon to close the paper and leave. Ten days later, the list was released.

After staying in the inn, Xiao Guoliang felt that he didn't need to hold on to his feet because he was tired, so he didn't continue to study his homework. I asked the shopkeeper for a pot of boiling water, washed it briefly, and ate some dry food brought from home. Coaxed Xiao Yiran to sleep first, and along the way, Xiao Yiran was also a little uncomfortable from the bumps, so under Sun's soft voice and gentle patting, he soon fell asleep. The husband and wife also fell asleep one after another.

Because of hunger, Xiao Yiran didn't sleep long, and woke up in the middle of the night. All this time, Xiao Yiran has hardly eaten enough. Sun's milk is getting less and less, and it is getting thinner. Although Sun would boil some rice porridge to feed Xiao Yiran every day, he still couldn't eat enough. Especially tonight, Sun only fed Xiao Yiran with some dry food that he had soaked, and he only ate a few bites.

Xiao Yiran, who woke up, knew that the two of them were very tired, endured hunger, and did not make a sound, staring blankly at the moonlight shining in the window. Thoughts have already flown back to Wangshan City.

This is the time of the year to worship the moon and worship the gods. Xiao Yiran didn't know that without himself as the emperor, who was presiding over the huge ceremony? Xiao Ming, Xiao Yue, Xiao Xin, Xiao Lin, and Xiao Jun will snuggle up next to whom? Will anyone stand up and sing a song to their people?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yiran would rather believe that the dream that night was real, and would rather that the original soul of the physical body would come back to life, so as to replace himself, give maternal love to his five children, and lead Xiao Guo all the way.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yiran suddenly wanted to pee, at this time, he had to wake up Sun no matter what, Xiao Yiran couldn't even sit for more than a hundred days, and it was hard to turn over, and he still couldn't solve the problem of peeing by himself. Stretching out his little hand, he pushed Sun hard.

The fact that her daughter has almost never urinated on the kang since she was a child surprised Sun and Xiao Guoliang. Whenever her daughter wants to pee, she either snorts twice or twists her body, which always gives Sun a signal. The husband and wife discussed this matter in private, and in the end, it came down to the fact that they gave birth to a sensible child who felt sorry for his father.

Sun, who was woken up by Xiao Yiran, almost didn't have to think about it, sat up in his clothes, hugged Xiao Yiran in his arms, came to the bed, half-squatted down, and waited for Xiao Yiran to finish urinating, and then returned to the bed and lay down. Just about to turn over and fall asleep, he felt his daughter arch into his arms, and Sun knew that his daughter should be hungry. I just soaked some dry food for my daughter at night, and I definitely didn't eat enough. While breastfeeding his daughter, Sun thought to himself:

"Tomorrow, let's go to the street and buy some snacks for my daughter, bring them back and soak them in water. The husband is going to take the exam for three days, so he should eat something good, so he might as well buy some meat and come back. ”

Sun thought about it in his heart, until he felt that the daughter in his arms was no longer sucking, and then fell asleep again.

In the morning, the noise of the inn was completely beyond Xiao Yiran's imagination. All along, whether it was in the ancient era or reborn in that small courtyard, Xiao Yiran had long been accustomed to quiet time. Xiao Guoliang was also woken up by the noise in the courtyard. Sun had already gotten up and had already freshened up. watched her daughter and husband wake up one after another, first picked up Xiao Yiran and peed. He also said to Xiao Guoliang:

"Husband, the dry food brought from home is not suitable for my daughter, so let's go out for breakfast in a while. By the way, I bought some snacks and came back so that I could feed my daughter. In addition, tomorrow the husband will be gone, and it should be improved. ”

"Okay, when I wash my face, we'll go out for breakfast. Buy some snacks for my daughter, I don't have to. If you eat it and it spoils your stomach, it's not good. Let's wait until the exam is over, the good wife hasn't eaten meat for a long time. ”

Sun heard Xiao Guoliang say this, thought about it, and felt that it made sense, so he didn't insist anymore. After Xiao Guoliang simply freshened up, Sun carried Xiao Yiran and followed Xiao Guoliang to the street. When I entered the city yesterday, it was already dark, and Xiao Yiran did not see the scenery on the street. Being held in Sun's arms today, Xiao Yiran was able to carefully browse the street scene.

Although the Song Dynasty was just established not long ago, Xijing was a battleground for soldiers, and in the years of war, Xiao Yiran thought that Xijing would definitely be devastated. However, the truth is completely opposite to what Xiao Yiran guessed. The streets are lined with shops and well-maintained houses, and looking at the pedestrians in front of you, it seems that Xijing has not experienced the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms at all.

"People are always forgetful, and I hope that the subjects of Xiao State will do their best to forget my emperor, especially the five children, and also forget my mother."

The breakfast for a family of three was eaten at a wonton shop on the street. Two bowls of wontons, three small pastries, and a plate of pickles. Sun specially asked for a small bowl for his daughter, divided some from the wontons in front of him, and fed his daughter little by little. Xiao Yiran ate very sweetly, and she was indeed hungry.

Xiao Yiran has already thought about it, since God has let him be reborn again, he can't die if he wants to, so it's better to live well. It is impossible to eat enough to count on the milk of my mother Sun, and I will eat as many grains as possible in the future. Only when you are healthy can you suffer less sin.

"Husband, how sweet do you see your daughter's food?"

Xiao Guoliang looked at Xiao Yiran, who was eating wontons, and said with a smile:

"Yiran is almost four months old, and the milk of the good wife is not enough, so let's feed more food in the future, but don't affect the child's growth."

"Hmm."

Sun is always gentle and soft, and his voice is soft, which makes Xiao Yiran feel a little unreal. In all her memories, she had never met such a person. I don't know if God feels indebted to himself, so he deliberately gave himself such a mother to make up for it.

After breakfast, the husband and wife hugged Xiao Yiran and began to wander around the street, looking for a dim sum shop. After reading a few, I don't know if Sun thinks it's expensive, or if he thinks it's not good, and he hasn't been able to buy a satisfactory dim sum.

Xiao Yiran found that Xiao Guoliang at this time was very special, no matter which shop Sun wanted to go to, what he saw, or what he said, Xiao Guoliang didn't care, as long as Sun didn't ask him, he didn't say a word, just like a follower.

I have to say that my father is a good man, and the only thing he lacks is that he can't let his wife and daughter live a rich life. Xiao Yiran is still quite satisfied with his parents in this life, the woman is as gentle as water, the man is considerate, and he is talented.

"God, since I was born into such a family, let's let my father pass the exam. Don't torture me anymore. ”

Xiao Yiran began to pray for Xiao Guoliang in his heart.

After two more dim sum shops, Sun finally bought a pound of peach cake and a pound of pine cake. The peach cake melts when it encounters water, and the muffin cake is soft and sweet, which is very suitable for feeding Xiao Yiran. Xiao Guoliang was carrying two packs of snacks, and Sun followed behind him with Xiao Yiran in his arms, turning around and wanting to go back to the inn. When he staggered past the three scholars in the caftan who came to him, Xiao Yiran heard them discuss:

"Brother Zhang, it's time to arrive at the City God Temple, we've been walking for more than half an hour."

"Brother Wang is still so impatient, just turn the corner of the street in front of him."

When the three of them walked away, Sun also stopped and said to Xiao Guoliang:

"Husband, since the City God Temple is in front, let's go and worship too."

"Okay, just listen to the good wife."

So he turned around again, followed the three people who had just passed by far away, and walked towards the street in front of him. When he came to the Chenghuang Temple, Sun bought a handful of incense and handed it to Xiao Guoliang, holding Xiao Yiran and standing outside the temple gate waiting. After a short time, Xiao Guoliang came out of it and nodded to Sun. A family of three, then returned to the inn. It's just that there is still a long way to go from the inn, and I see many people surrounding the door, and there is a burst of noise in the inn, mixed with the cry of a woman.
