Chapter 9 The cowherd asks for help
Wang Lun's mother, Yang, had already prepared dinner at this time, and when she saw Wang Lun's brothers coming in one after the other, she hurriedly greeted: "Come on!" Come on! The dish has long been ready. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yang is in her forties this year, and her temples are slightly frosty, but after she lost her husband in middle age, she pulled Wang Lun alone to work hard as an adult. Although Yang is just an ordinary country woman, she is kind-hearted and knows the general situation. Because of this, I want Wang Lun to read and write and get ahead. Now that Wang Lun has the status of a showman, she will be able to participate in the lifting exam immediately, and she is very happy.
Although Wang Lun is no longer the original Wang Lun, he inherited the identity of the original Wang Lun, and recognized the status that Yang's mother should have. After all, in the past three years, Yang has been taking good care of himself, and he and Yang have also gotten along, and slowly he has accepted Yang's natural maternal love.
Today, Yang knew that his son was going to have dinner at home, so he specially made a few dishes that Wang Lun loved to eat.
Wang Lun looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs, sea cucumber mushroom egg drop soup, ingots braised pork, as well as cold melon shreds, mapo tofu, and stewed crucian carp in sauce on the table. Xiang Yang took a deep look and said very gratefully: "There is Mother Lao." After that, Wang Lun sat down.
Over there, Wang Xin was an authentic foodie, and he couldn't wait for a long time, so he directly grabbed a piece of pork ribs with his hands and put it in his mouth, and said flatteringly while eating: "Auntie, the dishes you make are delicious!" ”
The Yang family had long been accustomed to Wang Xin's frizzy temperament, so he just smiled and didn't care.
"Strange! Why hasn't this spirit officer come back yet? Seeing that it was time for dinner, and the little spirit official hadn't come back yet, Wang Lun asked strangely in his heart.
"In the afternoon, when I saw you practicing in the yard, he went out and told me that he was going to talk to a little friend." Yang handed the dishes and chopsticks to Wang Lun and said. "Let's eat first! He came back hungry. ”
Since Wang Xin came, he had eaten with Wang Lun and Yang at the same table, while several long-term servants sat at another table. When Xiao Lingguan was taken in, Xiao Lingguan also ate at the same table with Wang Lun.
"Don't wait for that kid, I'm hungry." Wang Xin shouted on the side. Although he was older than Xiao Lingguan, Wang Xin didn't let Xiao Lingguan at all. Wang was a little jealous in his confidence, and felt that his eldest brother was too good to Xiao Lingguan.
Seeing Wang Xin's impatient appearance, Wang Lun simply didn't wait for the little spirit official.
During the banquet, Wang Xin feasted on his own and completely disregarded others. Yang himself ate very little, one would give Wang Lun pork ribs and one would give Wang Lun fish.
"Mother, the restaurant will open the day after tomorrow, and I will return to Jeju City tomorrow, so come with me."
Wang Lun has long had the intention to move to the city to live, Wangjiazhuang is located in a remote area, the transportation is inconvenient, and living in the city is more conducive to Wang Lun's study and friends. Wang Lun and the Yang family had mentioned this matter before, but the Yang family was reluctant to Wangjiazhuang's land and was afraid that it would cost a lot to live in the city, so they didn't agree.
This time, Wang Lun opened a restaurant in the city, and he can be regarded as having a foundation to settle down, so he plans to take this opportunity to move to the city.
Yang already knew Wang Lun's thoughts, and he also cleaned up the house inside and out in the past few days, and waited for Wang Lun to come back and move together. Yang didn't hesitate at the moment, and said happily: "It's okay to go to the city, you can see the world more, I'll go with you." ”
After thinking about it, Yang said again: "Then what should we do with this house?" The acres of land you just bought this year also need to be taken care of. ”
At this time, Wang Lun had already eaten enough, and only Wang Xin was still eating there as if no one was there.
"When the time comes, let Uncle Ji Yun take care of this house, and a few long-term workers and servants will also stay." Wang Lun had already made arrangements for the old house, and after thinking about it, Wang Lun said: "If you can't get used to living in the city, I will accompany you and come back." ”
For his son's arrangement, Yang was afraid of being satisfied. She was also very relieved to see her son comforting herself, but she knew that this Wangjiazhuang must not be living for long. Now, even if you don't move until your son is selected, you have to move out, and moving into the city earlier will also make it easier for your son to take care of the restaurant, saving him from running at both ends like now.
"You decide, I'll listen to you." There is a way to follow the father at home, marry from the husband, and follow the son when you are old. Now the Yang family obeys Wang Lun in everything he does, and puts Wang Lun first.
Wang Xin's mouth was full of oil, and when he heard that he was going to the city, he was also excited. "Go into town! That's great! Brother, you want to take me with you! Saying this, he was so excited that he put down his chopsticks.
Wang Lun gave Wang Xin a roll of his eyes, but Wang Xin was still unconscious.
"I heard from the three boys of the chief family's family that Jeju City is more than ten miles long, with a population of 80,000 or 90,000, and there are many people who sell cotton candy, sugar gourds, and clay people. Last time, I saw him play with a clay figurine, I didn't want to see it, I will definitely buy one to play in the city. ”
The Yang family also ignored Wang Xin's self-talk, and saw that it was getting dark and the little spirit official hadn't come back yet. I was a little surprised in my heart, so I said: "The little spirit official is usually back at this time, why is there no one at this time today?" ”
As soon as Yang's words fell, Wang Lun said, "It seems that I have returned." Wang Lun's ear power is far better than ordinary people because of his martial arts, and he heard someone crying outside his door, but he wasn't sure that it was the little spirit official who was crying.
Wang Lun got up and walked out of the gate, and Wang Xin followed. I saw a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old the size of a little spirit officer, dressed in tatters, leaning on the door of his house and crying. And the little spirit officer he was worried about was nowhere to be seen, and the long-term worker who acted as a porter at home was still persuading the child to do something.
Wang Lun was puzzled, and asked the child: "It's so late, why don't you go home, what's sad to cry here?"
The little boy looked up and saw Wang Lun asking, crying even more fiercely, without speaking, crying and crying for a long time without stopping.
Wang Xin was really impatient, and when he heard the little boy crying, he opened his mouth and threatened: "What are you crying about, stop me!" I'll beat you up if you cry again! ”
When Wang Lun saw Wang Xin speak like this, he was about to open his mouth to reprimand. It is also strange to say, to make Wang Xin so frightened, the little boy over there is crying quietly.
Wang Lun didn't care to reprimand Wang Xin again, and comforted the little boy kindly and said, "What is there to be embarrassed and sad, just tell me to see if I can help you?"
Hearing Wang Lun's words, the little boy seemed to have something to rely on. I saw the little boy wipe his tears and said to Wang Lun: "I heard that you can be a bodhisattva and are in danger, so I came to cry outside your house." I have been herding cattle for Wang Yougui's rich family for three years, and I haven't earned a penny, so I'm sad. ”
Wang Yougui Wang Lun knows that he is the only family that can be called rich and noble in Wangjiazhuang, and half of the fields in Wangjiazhuang belong to his family. The family has a hundred houses, many children, and a group of slaves, and often oppresses the good people in the Zhuangzi to make a fortune.
Seeing that this little boy was so pitiful, Wang Lun was moved with kindness again. "You've been standing outside the door for a long time, so let's go inside."
Yang saw Wang Lun and Wang Xin go out, and they waited in the room when they knew that there was something, and the food on the table was not cleaned up.
Wang Lun took the little boy into the house, thinking that the child might not have eaten, so he said, "You haven't eaten yet, let's finish eating first, let's talk about it later." ”
This child eats coarse tea and light food in the landlord's house every day, and sometimes he can't eat enough, and his life is miserable. When he saw the food in front of him, his eyes lit up, and when he heard Wang Lun's words, he politely picked up the chopsticks.
"Hey, hey! Then I'll eat some too, I just went out and I'm hungry again. Wang Xin saw the little boy eating, hooked the roundworms in his stomach, and also picked up chopsticks.
Wang Lun on the side was speechless, this time he finally knew why Wang Xin had grown so tall.
After all, it was someone else's house, and the little boy was still a little restrained, and he sat on the stool honestly after eating in a hurry, and he didn't dare to look at Wang Lun.
"How did you and Little Spirit Officer meet?" After this meal, Wang Lun figured out the cause and effect. This little boy must have known Xiao Lingguan, so he came to his door to cry.
Hearing Wang Lun ask about this, the little boy was obviously a little surprised, and looked up at Wang Lun in surprise. Then he timidly replied, "We ...... We have known each other for a long time, and we begged together earlier. Later, oh, when I came to the king, the rich man and the cattle herded, and they separated. After meeting in the past two months, I learned that he was also in this Zhuangzi and followed ...... Follow you. This little boy was very envious of the little spirit official who could follow Wang Lun without worrying about food and clothing, and his tone was unnatural when he said this.
"Oh, what's your name, then?" Wang Lun asked again.
"My surname is Zhu, I can't remember my original name, others call me Niu Wa when they see that I can herd cattle." Gradually, the little boy relaxed, and he had the strength to speak.
"Why didn't the little spirit officer come with you?" At this time, Wang Lun remembered that the little Lingguan had not yet returned home and asked.
