"Zhibai, I see this Gongsun Auntie, Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang's business is getting better and better, every time they come back from Yunjin City, I can't hang up the smile on their faces, they used to live worse than us, but now the days are much more prosperous than ours, I am also very happy for them, I think Xi'er will grow up, I will also go to Yunjin City to find a stall, sell something good, earn some copper coins, and subsidize the family, which is also excellent."

In the past, several houses next door were made of soil paste, since Zhao Dalang went to Yunjin City to sell sesame Hu cakes for a year, his family also built a new house with red walls and green tiles, this Gongsun Aunt and Yang Sanlang also followed, went to Yunjin City to do a small business, this is a few families, but it is really the Yun family seems a little down, I also wanted to do something, but just a little doorway, I was pregnant with a child, Zhibai knew that she was pregnant with a child, how could she let her go to set up a stall, now just gave birth to a child, let alone go, in a few years, Let's see when the kids are older.

"Xi Niang, look at you, you just gave birth to a child, you are not tired enough, and you still want to go to Yunjin City to set up a stall, don't worry about your livelihood all day long, although I don't earn much, but it is enough for you two to eat and drink, don't worry about it." Yun Zhibai heard Xi Niang say this, and a sadness welled up in his heart, although he is the teacher of Baishan Academy, but the monthly example of this teacher is not high, and now as Yunjin City becomes more and more prosperous, Gongsun Auntie, Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang earn silver taels from doing business, sometimes higher than him.

"Xi Niang, don't look at Aunt Gongsun, Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang are now making more than two silver in their own business, you can also look at it, they have to set off to Yunjin City before dawn, this work is also tiring, Gongsun Auntie set up a stall to sell some vegetables, you have to pick vegetables in the dark, wash them and then sell them, you didn't see Zhao Dalang's face, every day is blackened by the smoke of sesame cakes, Yang Sanlang is not to mention, you have to go down to the pond to fish in the winter, and all you earn is hard money, how can I let you suffer that."

After Yun Zhibai said these words to Xi Niang, sat on the edge of the bed, took Xi Niang's hand, and touched Xi Niang's hand, "Xi Niang, you have suffered with me, you are so handsome, you can marry a good family casually, you are better off than now, but unfortunately, with me, a poor teacher, hey......" Yun Zhibai shook his head, looked at the girl sleeping next to Xi Niang, sighed, and became faintly sad.

"Zhibai, don't let you say that, our mother is a great blessing to meet you, although you don't earn much from teaching, but it is also a clean and clean money, unlike some big families, what you earn is black-hearted money, don't sigh and say these words in the future, I was miserable, but fortunately I met you, I changed my life, the child has a father and aunt like us, and she will not let her freeze and starve, she is also a happy girl, the days will be better and better, you don't need to sigh anymore."

Xi Niang in turn clenched Yun Zhibai's hand, it was rare to see Zhibai with such a depressed expression, it must have been to go to Yunjin City to visit the market today, what he saw and heard, he was greatly touched, in fact, for her, more silver does not mean that life is good, as long as Zhibai and the child are by his side, this is happiness.

"What the lady said is very true, I won't say such things anymore in the future, it's frustrating to say too much, okay, Xi Niang, I also went to Zhu Butcher to buy pork today, and went to Wen Lao Doctor to get you a few pieces of Chinese medicine, I have to decoct medicine for you, it's almost noon, you're hungry, I'll cook for you, you've been talking to me for so long, now lie down and rest for a while." Yun Zhibai helped Xi Niang lie down, covered her with a quilt, and saw Xi Niang nodding at him, so he went to the kitchen to work with confidence.

When Yun Zhibai was chopping meat and decocting medicine in the kitchen, a burst of hearty laughter came from the courtyard, "Mr. Yun, I have smelled this smell of meat from afar, why are I willing to cook meat today." ”

Yun Zhibai heard the voice and knew that it was Aunt Gongsun, he looked out from the kitchen, and sure enough, it was Aunt Gongsun, he hurriedly went out of the house and stepped forward, "Aunt Gongsun, you are here, come into the house and sit." ”

"Xi Niang, have you been born in the past few days, you see that these two days coincided with the day of Yunjin City's market, and I didn't have time to come." Aunt Gongsun walked into the kitchen and put down the dishes in her hand, "Mr. Yun, don't dislike me, these are some of the dishes I didn't sell after the set, but they are still fresh, you and Xi Niang cook and eat." ”

"Aunt Gongsun, Xi Niang was born the night before, it was too late that night, and I was busy serving Xi Niang and the child the next day, so I didn't go out to your house." Yun Zhibai rubbed his hands and said happily.

"Oh, why was I born the night before, I didn't hear any movement at all, you look at me, I look forward to the night Xi Niang gave birth to a child all day long, I can take a hand, this is a thousand calculations, or not accurate, the eve is the Xia Yuan Festival, but it is a good day, October 15, what about the Bodhisattva's birthday, Mr. Yun, you and Xi Niang are blessed, by the way, male or female baby?"

Gongsun Aunt heard that Xi Niang was born, but also very happy, on weekdays Xi Niang and these neighbors are not bad, Mr. Yun is literate, at that time Gongsun Dalang went to Chang'an Street to work for a short time, half a month did not go home, this Gongsun Aunt was anxious to sleep all day, think about it, or trouble Yun Zhibai to write a letter, Mr. Yun also asked someone to send it, when he learned that Gongsun Dalang was all right, this was relieved, from then on, Gongsun Aunt has any letters, all ask Yun Zhibai to read and write letters, Only then did he form a good neighborhood relationship with Yunzhi Bai Xiniang.

"Xi Niang gave birth to a female baby, I like a female baby, she looks exactly the same as Xi Niang, with big eyes and a high nose bridge, fair skin, which is gratifying." Yun Zhibai's happy eyebrows and eyes were connected, and he couldn't suppress his excitement, seeing that Aunt Gongsun was about to go to the back room, he hurriedly stepped forward and sighed, "I'm really sorry, Aunt Gongsun, Xi Niang and the child seem to be asleep now." ”

"Okay, then I'll come to see Xi Niang and the child another day, you can be busy first." Saying that, Aunt Gongsun untied the money belt from her waist, took out ten copper coins from it, and stuffed them into Yun Zhibai's hand, "This is a little caution for children, don't be too little, my eldest man goes out to do short-term work from time to time, and he can't come back for ten days and half a month, he didn't come back in the past, I can't eat well at home, and I can't sleep well, since you and Xi Niang moved in, you help write letters to my family on weekdays, and also help send letters, every time I receive a reply from Dalang, my heart is steady, you hurry up and put away the copper coins, Buy something delicious for Xi Niang, Yunjin City will not rush to the market tomorrow, I will be free, I will pick some small green vegetables in the morning, and eat small green vegetables during confinement. ”

Yun Zhibai looked at Aunt Gongsun with a closed mouth, and the emotion in his heart was nowhere to say, although these neighbors didn't know a single word, they were all excellent people, and they took good care of him and Xi Niang, and they only helped them a little on weekdays, and they kept it in their hearts, and they repaid it twice, they were still simple and enthusiastic countrymen, and they met good people in their lives.

"Aunt Gongsun, how embarrassed are you to call me, I received so many dishes from you, and you still have to give silver taels, how can I be! It's your hard-earned money, and I really can't take it! Yun Zhibai pinched the copper coin in his hand, only felt that it was extremely hot, this really can't be collected, every time Aunt Gongsun goes to Yunjin City to sell some vegetables on the day of the market, she also has to pick vegetables before dawn, and she has to clean them and sell them.

"Mr. Yun, don't shirk it, there are so many things that trouble you on weekdays, and I have to trouble you to help write and send letters in the future, I'm afraid you'll be annoyed." Aunt Gongsun waved her hand at Yun Zhibai, signaling Yun Zhibai to pack the copper coin, the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Yun Zhibai sent Aunt Gongsun out of the yard, it happened that Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang came back with the burden, and they also deliberately took a detour to Yun's house to take a look, caring about whether Xi Niang had given birth to a child.

"You three, you're so late, okay, don't ask Mr. Yun anymore, I came early, and I've already got the first-hand news, haha." Aunt Gongsun smiled at Zhao Dalang, Yang Sanlang and Yang Sanlang's wife, Chu Yue, but she didn't mention it, which whetted the appetite of the three of them.

"Grandma, you can say it quickly, look at your pride, we closed the stall late, you, big feet walk fast, we follow you and call hard, you are walking faster than a rabbit, I want to catch up with you along the way, ask you to come and see Xi Niang, you are fast, or one step ahead of us." Yang Sanlang's insider, Chu Yue, picked up a fish, took the sesame cake in Zhao Dalang's hand, walked to the courtyard with ease, put the fresh fish and sesame cake on the table in Yun Zhibai's kitchen, and then walked out.

"Okay, then I won't hang your appetite, the night before, Xi Niang gave birth to the next one safely, one, a small padded jacket, and is sleeping soundly in the house!" Aunt Gongsun deliberately lengthened her tone, and when she saw Chu Yue raising her hand and was about to pat her, she hurriedly confided the truth.

"Mr. Yun, congratulations, congratulations, the girl is good, the girl will have to buy wine for Mr. Yun to drink in the future, she was born on the next Yuan Festival, and the next Yuan Festival is a good day." Zhao Dalang put down the burden on his shoulders, congratulated Yun Zhibai, and Yang Sanlang also unloaded the burden, "Mr. Yun and Xi Niang are so blessed, Xi Niang will add a male baby to Mr. Yun in two years, then Mr. Yun will have a son and a daughter, and the golden boy and jade girl will be occupied by Mr. Yun, haha." ”

"Yang Sanlang, you and Mr. Yun have been learning words for a few days, and this idiom can be used, and it seems that Mr. Yun, the teacher, teaches well." Aunt Gongsun smiled at Yang Sanlang, who was scratching his head.

"That's a certainty, Mr. Yun is a teacher at Baishan Academy, and he can put down his body to teach us countrymen who don't know a single word, which only a good gentleman like Mr. Yun can teach."

Zhao Dalang looked at Yun Zhibai gratefully, Yun Zhibai also nodded at Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang with a smile, when the training ground of Yunjuan Mountain was built, Yunjin City became more and more prosperous, this Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang thought about going to Yunjin City to sell something, but I didn't expect that on the first day I went, I saw that the small vendors there had signboards written in front of them, and the words they said were all in the city, what they said in the countryside, those people in the city couldn't understand it, and finally they sold something, and in the end they couldn't settle the account, and on the first day they went to set up a stall together, In the end, both of them were defeated, and returned to the suburbs with a full load of goods.
