Chapter XVIII: Mother's Inheritance

It is said that there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the barren mountains and mountains, and living in the mountains will inevitably have many mosquitoes and poisonous mosquitoes. A bite on you can make you uncomfortable for half a month like a swollen piece on your body. Since Luo Yun's rebirth, he has just entered the summer, and he has closed the doors and windows when it gets dark.

But one day, Luo Yun was bored in the house and pulled Mu'er to walk around the door of the house, looked at the clear night sky, listened to the pleasant insect chirping, and suddenly found that there were not as many mosquitoes as he imagined. At least Luo Yun went around outside and didn't have a bag on him, so Luo Yun started the boring act of watching the stars in the yard at night. He quite said that Aunt Mei had said some card games and other pastimes, but he was not born in a wealthy family, but a peasant family that had just reached the level of being well-off. Except for him, the family is busy all day during the day, and has no energy to play games with him. Besides, if you want to play cards and chess at night, you have to have light, right? Then you have to light an oil lamp, the average official family is usually reluctant to light a candle at night to read a book, do you think a farmer will light an oil lamp and play games for the family? Just like the scene when Luo Yun just woke up, the family gathered around an oil lamp, busy with their own work. If you have nothing to do, go to bed, and you won't waste the lamp oil anyway, so you can play under the lamp.

That night, after dinner, Luo Yun just moved the recliner to the door and sat down. Aunt Mei followed, and in Luo Yun's surprised eyes, she took a stool and sat next to her. Luo Yun saw that Aunt Mei's posture seemed to have something to talk about, so she quickly sat upright, patted Xiao You and Zhenyue who came over, and asked them to go to Mu'er's room to play.

At this time, there were only two people in the family, Luo Yun and Aunt Mei, and Uncle Wu and Mu'er both took the grain cart to the city with the second uncle. Originally, Mu'er couldn't go, although Mu'er really wanted to go to the city to see and see, but the cousins who followed her were all over sixteen years old. In the end, Luo Yun felt that he didn't need Mu'er to accompany him in the past two days anyway, so it was good for Mu'er to go out early and have a long time to see and broaden his horizons. begged Uncle Wu to let Mu'er follow. So there were only two people left in the family, Aunt Mei and Luo Yun.

Over thirty years old, Aunt Mei's appearance is still well maintained, although the Jingchai cloth skirt has not been changed by the long-term rural life of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and still maintains the upbringing and conversation that a wealthy family should have. Looking at Aunt Mei's standard lady's sitting posture, Luo Yun suddenly thought that if Aunt Mei was asked to change into the most fashionable clothes in Chang'an City, she would definitely be a mature and beautiful elegant woman.

Aunt Mei looked at Luo Yun in front of her with loving eyes, from the sudden death of the young lady last year, she watched Luo Yun panic after getting the news, and fell into a coma like a lost soul. At that time, I really thought that this porcelain doll that I watched grow up might have to go with Miss, but I didn't expect Miss to finally take him away. Now he has not only survived, but is alive and healthier and more energetic than before. The brain is not as ignorant as before, always very sober and very rational to do everything. As the young lady said, he will surely grow like a big tree, and then use his umbrella cover to protect all those who have stood in front of him and once watered him.

"Aunt Mei......" Luo Yun couldn't stand Aunt Mei's silent gaze a little, but fortunately, the dark sky covered the blush on his face.

Aunt Mei, who was woken up by Luo Yun, noticed that Luo Yun was unnatural, smiled slightly, and felt that Luo Yun had really grown up: "En...... What you discussed with your second uncle, Ah Wu...... Your Uncle Wu told me everything. Why did you suddenly think to fix ...... Got the pool repaired? ”

Luo Yun didn't expect Aunt Mei to ask this question, and felt that she had suddenly changed too much, although she didn't think that Aunt Mei would know that Luo Yun was no longer the original Luo Yun, but acting too much was not what Luo Yun wanted: "This ...... It's nothing, it's just that when I went out to play, I thought of it by chance, and I thought it would be more convenient for everyone to do this, so I told the second uncle. Nothing special, what's wrong Aunt Mei? ”

Aunt Mei raised the wick of the oil lamp on the side higher, the firelight trembled, and Luo Yun felt that his eyes shook a little. I saw Aunt Mei looking at herself with a serious face, "Luo Yun, are you ...... I made these things, and it was a plow, and it was a table and chair...... Do you feel that life in the mountains is too hard? ”

Luo Yun, who asked Aunt Mei's question, was stunned, he didn't expect Aunt Mei to ask him this, bitter? Luoyun has two meals a day this year, and can only eat three meals when the farm is busy, and there are no fruits in winter, so if you want to eat in other seasons, you can go to the mountains to find wild fruit trees; Meat includes chicken, and fish in the larger springs and streams in the mountains; I didn't raise sheep at home, and the two meals of mutton I ate were sent by the fourth uncle's family when they killed sheep. However, the game in the mountains can be hunted if you want to; The staple food is corn porridge, occasionally white rice, and then steamed buns and cakes made of wheat noodles or bean noodles; Well, there are many kinds of vegetables, most of Luoyun only remember the appearance and don't remember the name, and most of them are wild vegetables dug in the mountains, wild mushrooms and the like, there are very few home-grown, and they can't be eaten at all after the season. And the tea he drank, if it weren't for the fact that there were a few tea trees on the mountain, otherwise people like them really couldn't afford to drink tea these days.

Let's put it again. Silk silk is worn by rich and noble people, Luo Yun's clothing fabrics are basically linen and silk cloth, and the four kinds of silk and satin are only one or two pieces in his mother's wardrobe, and they are all old. However, in winter, he was also satisfied with coats and furs made of animal skins.

Well, the place is very spacious. Although the conditions are very simple, the mountains are a little damp, the wooden house is not so comfortable, and no amount of grass under the bed can completely insulate from the moisture. But he believed that in less than two years, when the family had money, he would renovate all the rooms from the ground up, using bricks and tiles. In general, there is a little bit of bitterness, but it is still within the acceptable range. And there are always some goals in life, Luo Yun enjoys such a leisurely life, and every day is not empty. Besides, he was born in a peasant family, but he was lucky not to have to work in the fields, so what else did he have to be picky about.

"Why did Aunt Mei say that? But do you think Luo Yun is too wasteful to eat? I'll ...... later."

"It's not." Aunt Mei interrupted Luo Yun's words, and her tone was a little tough: "If it weren't for your poor health in the early years, Miss...... Your mother has already brought you to live in the city. Although you don't say it on weekdays, Aunt Mei can also see that you don't like to eat those meals, and as long as I cook a white meal, you are always very happy. I've also heard you complain to Mu'er that the rain bed is damp and you can't sleep, no matter how thick the grass is, it's uncomfortable, your shoes and socks are too thin, and your feet always hurt when you walk......"

Listening to Aunt Mei tell her daily complaints and performances one by one, Luo Yun's face turned red. I woke up for more than half a year and always tried to accept and adapt to this environment, thinking that I was doing a good job, but I didn't expect to inadvertently show so many bad things. If it weren't for Aunt Mei sitting in front of her, Luo Yun really wanted to slap herself, she didn't know how to be content, why would she complain so much.

"Aunt May! I...... I won't do this again......"

Aunt Mei looked at Luo Yun in surprise, and suddenly found that Luo Yun had misunderstood her, shook her head, but found that Luo Yun had lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her: "Luo Yun, you misunderstood your Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei is not talking about your fault, Aunt Mei only feels that she has not done well and failed to give you a better life." If Miss is still there, she will definitely make your life better, my little master, you can get a better life, as long as you want, Aunt Mei will try her best to help you do it. ”

Luo Yun didn't take Aunt Mei's words to heart, he just thought that Aunt Mei was too spoiled by him, but he couldn't take this kind of favor for granted, so he was really hopeless. Shaking his head, Luo Yun looked at Aunt Mei and said, "Aunt Mei, I admit that I am not satisfied with the current living conditions, but I am not the young master of those wealthy families, I am just an ordinary child in this big mountain." I can understand that everyone spoils me, but if I rely on your favor and act recklessly, then I will become those useless second ancestors, wasted food. I want to eat better, I hope I can eat more white rice a year, and I can make more white flour steamed buns, so I find a way to grow rice. I want to make life more comfortable, so I taught Daddy Zhang to make furniture, and I asked my third uncle to cooperate in selling it. Even if I build a reservoir in the valley, I also want to raise fish and chickens there, so that everyone can get some benefits and make myself eat better. Aunt Mei, don't worry, I have my own plan, and in less than two years, I will be able to renovate our household bricks and tiles. When the business is stable, I will hire a few maids and servants to serve Aunt Mei, so that Aunt Mei doesn't have to work anymore......"

Luo Yun couldn't continue, because Aunt Mei suddenly hugged him in her arms, smelling the faint fragrance of wheat on Aunt Mei's body, Luo Yun clearly felt Aunt Mei's tears falling on her head and running down his hair......

Spread out her hands to hug Aunt Mei, who was crying bitterly, feeling Aunt Mei's excited emotions, and gently patting her hands to comfort her......

When he was still a soul, Luo Yun was not a person with violent mood swings. Or not good at expressing feelings in language and behavior. Whether it's happy, angry, sad, or excited, he always looks indifferent on the surface, and he never makes exaggerated behaviors. Sometimes it can even be said to be ...... Cold-blooded. Even in the face of bull heads and horses, he is indifferent. Luo Yun thinks that this is a traditional way of implicit expression, and he may often let the people around him misunderstand his mind, but there are too many things that Luo Yun doesn't care about, that is, it doesn't matter. Those little complaints are not about caring, but more about enjoying everything that life brings. The excitement is too rare, and I have had it when I brought back the two little tigers, but I really haven't experienced it. Holding Aunt Mei at this time, Luo Yun felt more of his slowly faster heartbeat, feeling that he was so real alive and cared for, and his eyes involuntarily left tears......

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, two people who were tired of crying and whose tears were almost dry returned to the house together. Aunt Mei actually stopped crying for a while, but she found that Luo Yun in her arms was crying so sadly that she couldn't stop, so she had to hug him tightly and gently soothe his trembling body.

Luo Yun was really tired of crying, a rare emotional display, at this time, his red and swollen eyes were a little unable to open, and he lay down on the bed tiredly, feeling Aunt Mei's care and feeling the touch of his heart, until this time, he was really accepted by this new world. Because his truest side is revealed in front of a loved one in this world. The unprecedented peace of mind made Luo Yun just want to sleep quietly at this time, and he felt that he would have a good dream.

Aunt Mei watched Luo Yun close her eyes, humming a tune that Luo Yun hadn't heard before, as she had been doing all these years, and coaxed him to sleep. Looking at the soft and delicate lines on Luo Yun's face, Aunt Mei stretched out her fingers and gently smoothed the slender eyebrows, rubbed her somewhat reddened eyes, and looked at the sweet smile that couldn't help but hook up at the corners of Luo Yun's mouth. Aunt Mei only felt that he was really not like a child living in the mountains, he should be in that elegant study, reading the books of sages, talking about poems and essays with three or five friends every day, dancing and writing, wandering on the streets of Chang'an, lingering in singing and dancing wine shops, tasting wine and dancing. Isn't it good now, though, at least he's having a good time.

Listening to Luo Yun's slight snort, Aunt Mei finally couldn't help but lean close to Luo Yun's ear and said what she was going to say tonight: "Luo Yun, my young master, as long as you want, you will be able to live a better life tomorrow." Miss...... Your mother left you all her wealth. Mademoiselle and I didn't escape empty-handed...... Those gold and ...... These old men don't know, and I haven't said anything about your Uncle Wu. This is left to you by the young lady, her only child, as long as you want, you can take the money to the city, or even go back to Chang'an, to live a better life. This...... It's the lady's wish......"

Luo Yun's eyelashes couldn't help but tremble, and finally he didn't open his eyes. It didn't take long for her to make an even breathing sound, Aunt Mei sighed softly, tucked the corner of the quilt for Luo Yun, blew out the oil lamp, and turned around and walked out of the house.

Luo Yun didn't expect that his mother, whom he had never met, would leave him such a large amount of property, Yun Shanzhi he looked at it too slowly, and he knew too little about his mother. But what I didn't expect was that Aunt Mei had feelings for him, or more for his mother, the young lady in Aunt Mei's mouth, to such an extent. She didn't tell her husband and children about such a large amount of wealth, but kept it for Luo Yun alone. Luo Yun couldn't help but think: If he hadn't woken up from his reincarnation last year, then Aunt Mei would have taken this wealth and the family to leave this small mountain village to find a better place to live.

But there was no if, and he woke up. Even when he was just conscious and semi-asleep, all he heard and saw was Aunt Mei's perseverance in wanting to save him, without the slightest expression of 'I will be liberated if you die'. Luo Yun felt that he was really lucky to meet two 'mothers' who loved her so much in this life. What is gold, even a golden house can't buy back the love of the two mothers for him!

This is the real wealth, the wealth that people can cherish for a lifetime.
