"This ...... It's a long story. Liang Mancang smiled bitterly.

He briefly told Gu Shifu about the things in his pocket, and how he defended himself, how he offended people, and finally was stripped of his military exploits.

"Hey, are you young and vigorous, forget it, the matter has come to this, it's useless to talk more, when you're busy with spring tea, I'll talk to Li Zheng, see what he has to do, let's not read the merits for the time being, in the end, your brother is your brother, you are you, five years for the country to go to the soup and fire, born and died, you can't be because of a momentary anger, the credit will be smoothed out, isn't it?" Gu Shifu silently listened to Liang Mancang's words, pondered for a moment, spit out a puff of white smoke in his mouth, and said faintly.

"I don't have any idea of doing street patrols, so I might as well be a hunter." Liang Mancang touched the blue flowers on the coarse porcelain bowl, and said angrily.

"Confused! Do you think this is your reputation alone?! Gu Shifu hated that iron could not become steel, and his voice couldn't help but rise.

Liang Mancang was yelled at by him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, he really didn't think about it, what does this matter have to do with others, but Gu Shifu is the village head, if it is calculated according to the generation of his grandfather's family, he still has to call him uncle, so he pursed his lips and did not argue.

"It's so dignified, Mancang just came back, what are you yelling at him, what can't you say well!" Sun poked his head out of the kitchen and said in disgust.

"Women's families, long hair and short knowledge, what do you know? cough cough cough "Gu Shifu was choked by smoke and coughed non-stop.

"Daddy, you're tired all day today, smoke less." The eldest girl brought the food to the table and persuaded.

"No more smoking, no smoking." Gu Shifu finally stopped coughing, knocked the smoke pot on the sole of his shoe, and then said, "Girl, bring last year's osmanthus brew, and I will drink a cup with Mancang." ”

"Daddy!" The big girl was dissatisfied and stomped her foot gently.

"Just a drink to relieve fatigue." Gu Shifu smiled, this girl cares about him, she is more powerful than an old woman.

"Just one drink!" The big girl couldn't help it, so she twisted her waist and went to the back room to move the wine jar.

Pheasants and hares are all fresh, even if Sun's family lacks ginger and garlic, and the sauce is also less, but it still can't cover up the fresh and fragrant and plump taste of meat, the first stubble leeks in the field are on, and the golden eggs are fried on a plate, the aroma is tangy, the newly pickled sauerkraut sprouts are also fried in a large pot, sour and crisp and tender, and the rice and wine.

Because Qingshan couldn't move much, therefore, dinner was placed in Qingshan's and Qingchuan's house, everyone sat next to Qingshan's bedside, slipped around the table, passed the door was a guest, and Mancang accompanied Gu Shifu to drink, naturally next to each other, Zhao Di was also let to eat at the table, sitting next to the eldest girl, and the eldest girl was next to her eldest brother.

In the past, when Qingshan was in good health, he set up cages, dug traps, and often caught pheasants and hares, in addition to selling them alive, others could also fight tooth sacrifices from time to time, and it was not difficult to eat back meat, but now, the work in the fields could not be done, and Gu Shifu had no spare time to go up the mountain, and eating meat became a very luxurious thing.

It is rare to have two large pots today, and Sun felt sorry for his son, so he picked up a large piece of chicken and sandwiched it into Qingshan's bowl.

"Mother, I have delayed too much with this injury, Zhao Di came to pick tea for a day today, but she helped a lot, and this meat should be eaten by her." Gu Qingshan changed his hand and gave the meat to Zhao Di next to her, and she only had a little sauerkraut sprout in her bowl.

"Brother Qingshan, you are injured, eat more meat, get better quickly!" Zhao Di's face suddenly flushed with red tides, and she whispered.

"If I eat what I eat, I should eat more skin on my stomach." Gu Qingshan laughed and laughed at himself.

"Zhao Di, thank you so much today, you should eat more." Gu Shifu grabbed a piece of rabbit leg and suppressed her desire to return the chicken to Qingshan.

"Thank you, Uncle Fu." Zhao Di mosquito snorted and agreed. Her little face was almost buried in the bowl, red as if it were dripping blood.

Seeing this, Sun's eyelids jumped, as the old saying goes, the child is not left, it seems that it is not only the girl's family, but the son who hurts to the bone begins to feel sorry for others.

If it was left in the past, she would definitely not look down on Zheng Zhaodi, but now, Qingshan was divorced by the Peng family in the town, and her body was injured, even if she is better in the future, it will definitely not be as good as before, what capital do you have to pick and choose?

Thinking of this, Sun sighed in his heart, just look at the two of them have a little bit of that meaning, and they know the roots, and the most important thing is that Gu Shifu's move to bring vegetables has already made clear the attitude of being a family, the Peng family's family affairs, she messed up, this time, as long as the two little lovers agree and live a good life, she has nothing to say.

Gu Shifu's amount of wine is not large, and he has eaten hard again today, he really only drank a cup of osmanthus brew, and then he went up, his face was red, and his skin was hot, so he pushed the cup and didn't drink it, Liang Mancang is a junior, and it is not good to pour himself in front of the elders, so he can't say that he can't drink alcohol, and Gu Daya hurriedly filled them with a full bowl of rice.

"Dad, early tomorrow morning, I'll go to the town to sell tea for you, you can make up for sleep." Seeing that Gu Shifu was yawning while eating, Gu Daya said distressedly.

"Forget it, I'll go, you're a girl's family, don't be blindsided." Gu Shifu shook his head and said.

In previous years, Qingshan and he went out of the mountain to sell tea upside down, and now, let him get up early and be greedy to do the work of two people, even if he is beaten with iron, he can't stand it, but he can't do it, Qingshan is injured, and he is all pointing to the money from selling spring tea to grab medicine, he never dares to hand over such an important matter to the big girl who has never gone out to sell tea.

"Uncle Fu, it's better to be like this, I'm going to go out to the mountains to sell game tomorrow, it's better to let the big girl go with me, with me, those people won't be able to play any tricks." Liang Mancang caught a glimpse of the eldest girl's anxious eyes, and hurriedly opened his mouth to help persuade him.

"Daddy, with Brother Mancang following, Zhun Bao is fine, you can agree." The eldest girl pouted, shook Gu Shifu's arm and said.

"Okay, okay, Ming'er, you go, I just tell you, there are three or four tea shops in the town that accept tea, but the price is not as good as Changlong, I heard that it is a new big boss in the county, and the wealth is large, and the price is high in order to grab fresh tea in the first year." Gu Shifu couldn't get entangled, so he had to agree, but he still didn't forget to tell him carefully.

"I see...... Father! Gu Daya deliberately dragged out her voice and said coquettishly.

"Big girl, when will you leave tomorrow? I am waiting for you at the entrance of the village. Liang Mancang ate in two of three bites, wiped his mouth and asked.

He was afraid that the eldest girl would ruin the girl's life if she met Gu Qingzhu alone, and he couldn't say it clearly for Gu Qingzhu's reputation, but as soon as he said this, everyone looked at him together.

Liang Mancang was born burly and strong, and the eldest girl always played behind them when she was a child, and she was extremely familiar, but now that the girl is older, even if she is a lack of heart on the surface, she also has a delicate side, and when she heard this now, her ears were red.

"I'm Ming'er, Ming'er ......" The eldest girl buried her head and couldn't speak.

Sun's heart sank, his son was injured, and he had to settle, this daughter is also stupid, Liang Mancang has no father or mother, he is alone, and he has no land to live by.

Gu Qingshan didn't have so many twists and turns, he only liked his sister when Mancang was in love, and after that, his brother became Uncle Lang, which was really close to each other, the icing on the cake.

"It's not easy to walk on the mountain road at night, so it's better to go out early, and you have to go out after the fifth watch." Gu Shifu drank wine, a little dizzy, and yawned vigorously, probably only he didn't think much about it.

"Okay, it's late tonight, I'll go back and clean up first, and I'll see you at the village tomorrow morning." Liang Mancang took a sip of tea and got up to leave.

Gu Daya was a little happy tonight, she had gone to bed early, but she couldn't sleep for a while, tossing and turning in bed, thinking about Liang Mancang's words, and secretly happy in her heart.

On the second day, Gu Daya got up early in the morning, her mother had already made breakfast, and it was very rare to boil an egg for her, Sun sat in the stove to boil water, saw her daughter with a smile on her eyebrows, thought about it, or swallowed the words, and now she is busy with spring tea.

Gu Daya snorted and ate a bowl of thick porridge, in order to prevent her from being hungry, Sun deliberately fished out the thick bottom of the pot, and the rest of the soup and water, and the rest of the family could only drink an extra bowl to ward off hunger.

At this time, the outside room was as dark as ink, and he couldn't see his five fingers, Sun handed the horse lantern at home to Gu Daya who was carrying a bamboo basket and was about to go out, Gu Shifu was not at ease, and specially sent her to the entrance of the village.

Liang Mancang was already waiting under the big elm tree with a torch.

"Brother Mancang, give!" The two hurried together, and Gu Daya handed the eggs with residual warmth to the man next to him as if offering treasures.

"Keep it for yourself." Liang Mancang said with a smile.

Eggs are extremely precious in the eyes of the villagers, and they are used to exchange money on weekdays, only when the child is sick and the family goes far away, they will take it out and eat it, showing the attention of parents.

"We eat it separately, I don't like egg yolks." Gu Daya said, knocking on the stone next to her, and the egg broke in response.

"I remember when you were a kid, didn't you love egg yolks? Once when you caught a cold, your mother gave you and your brother an egg, and you didn't count eating your own, and you also robbed your eldest brother's egg yolk. Liang Mancang asked with some puzzlement.

"That's all a mess when you were a child, how can you remember it so clearly!" Gu Daya widened her eyes, a little sweet in her heart, but she felt even more shy.

"Only that time is the most memorable!" Liang Mancang sighed slightly.

At that time, there was a father and a brother, and he was still a kid who couldn't play at home, so he thought that such a good life would be very long, so long that when he got married and had children, his father and mother could still tease his grandson and enjoy the joy of family.

"Brother Mancang, eat it quickly, it's fragrant, every time I get sick, my mother always says, if you eat eggs, your body will be fine, and if you eat an egg, you won't be so sad." Gu Daya peeled the small egg, split it in two, and held half of it in front of him.

Liang Mancang was moved by her, and involuntarily took it, put it in his mouth, the glutinous softness of the egg yolk and the refreshing elasticity of the egg white burst and mixed in the mouth, and the special aroma of the egg permeated between the tongue, which was still the taste of childhood.

He pressed the grinding plate in his heart, Liang Mandou died in vain, and was discredited by those wicked people, this grievance does not know when it will be able to see the clouds and the daylight, and the death of his mother makes Liang Mancang even more sad, for five years, he did not serve in bedside, and even sent him to the end of the Qingshan generation, although it is a dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, but it is too guilty to be a son to do this kind of work.

Such a thing can not be solved by half an egg, but this egg is the taste of his mother in his memory, which inexplicably makes Liang Mancang breed a kind of hope and hope.
