"Brother, but my brother is back?"

Before he knew it, he had already walked to the door of his house, and it was already early, and he just wanted to secretly open the courtyard door and sneak back to the room, when he heard a surprised voice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, smiled and nodded, this feeling of someone waiting to go home gave him a strange sense of intimacy.

"Why are you still waiting, it's not early, let's go to bed."

He Yuan turned around and closed the door and rubbed Yun Niang's head affectionately.

"It's okay, I can't sleep on the hot day anyway, so I'll wait for my brother to come back. I'll serve you food in the kitchen. ”

The little girl spoke crisply and neatly, and after finishing speaking, she ran to the kitchen, and after a while, she brought out two coarse porcelain bowls. One is coarse rice with wild herbs, and the other is old pickles that are pickled at home.

The supper was outrageously simple, mixed with a few bitter wild herbs, but still a little choked, and although it had memories of the past, it still made it difficult for him to eat. Frowning, he took two bites and stopped.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Seeing He Yuan, he suddenly stopped, and Yun Niang asked cautiously. At this time, He Yuan found that this sister, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, was staring at the food in her bowl and swallowing her saliva. Only then did I truly realize how poor the family had become, and a teenager could be hungry for a bowl of brown rice.

"Come on, you can eat some together."

He Yuan directly picked up another coarse porcelain bowl and divided the rice and pickles into two portions.

"Brother, I've eaten, I'm really not hungry. You eat, only when you are full can you have the spirit to read. ”

The little girl stood up in a panic and excused herself, He Yuan couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and almost burst into tears. Qiang smiled and pressed Yun Niang back to her seat, and stuffed the bowl into her hand without saying anything.

"Don't worry, my brother has eaten some outside, and he can't eat so much."

Seeing He Yuan say this, the little girl sat down obediently and ate the brown rice with a satisfied face, as if the brown rice in front of her was a delicacy, obviously hungry.

A big man actually let his family fall like this, and it's really-

Although he knew that he could not blame all the people for this situation, in his opinion, he had to bear some responsibility anyway. If there is no father in the family, he should take the initiative to take on the responsibility of a man, how can he put his livelihood on the shoulders of his mother, and even his young sister has to go out to sew and wash for others to subsidize the family.

Fuck everything down, as a man, if you can't even support your mother and sister, what kind of books can you read!

"It looks like I'm going to go out and make a living, this girl is still growing her body, how can she eat this every day." He secretly made up his mind in his heart.

After eating, he habitually picked it up and was about to wash, Yun Niang quickly stood up.

"Brother, put it down, this is what a woman's family should do, how can you do this kind of thing as a scholar."

He Yuan couldn't help but be speechless, and he still had to insist, seeing that Yun Niang was already so anxious that she was about to shed tears, knowing that this concept might not be able to change for a while, so she reluctantly put it down and prepared to go back to the house.

"Is Yuan'er back? Is today's poetry meeting going well? ”

Suddenly, the voice of his mother, Wang, came from the hall. He Yuan then remembered that when he went out in the afternoon, he was in the name of going out to participate in the poetry meeting.

"Mother hasn't slept yet? Today's poetry meeting is okay, and it is going well. ”

He Yuan couldn't help but feel a little weak, which poetry club he participated in would go to the woman's belly. At this time, I was afraid that my mother would ask carefully, and the sweat on my head would come down.

Speaking of which, the original He Yuan was in awe of this mother from the bottom of his heart. Over the years, the whole family has been supported by my mother alone, she not only raised her two children, but also cultivated a talent, which is really amazing. At this time, he was really nervous to let him be blind in front of him.

"Poetry exchanges are essential, but their roots are still in books. Especially for you, it is better to participate as little as possible in the future, and have time to calm down and read more books and do learning, which is better than anything else. Otherwise, it is to win some false fame, and it is also a wood without a source of water, and it will not be of any use. ”

He Mu's tone paused slightly, and said slowly. It's no wonder that it can support a family and cultivate a talent, but in terms of this knowledge, some scholars may not be able to catch it. didn't ask for details, which made He Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to my mother's teachings, my son knows."

He Yuan respectfully bowed to the hall and got his mother's permission before going back to his house. As soon as he pushed the door open, He Yuan regretted it.

It's hot, it's hot!

The house is not big, the windows are small, and there is no cooling equipment such as fan air conditioners, the whole hut is like a steamer, it is damp and hot, it is better to stay outside, at least there is a little cool breeze outside.

But it's not good to go out again, he is really afraid that He Mu will ask about the details of today's poetry meeting. At the level of He Mu, I'm afraid you can find the clue without asking a few words. He was pitiful and waited until Yun Niang went back to the house to sleep, then sneaked into the yard to get a bucket of cold water and took a cold shower, which made him a little more comfortable and barely fell asleep.

The annual examination of the county school has passed, and I am only waiting to participate in the autumn in August. He Yuan felt that before this, he had to improve his current living conditions, otherwise this day would be too difficult.

Qingyuan County is a small city by the mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, and it is not far from Jinling, many dignitaries and nobles have their own estates here, and they will come to have fun in their spare time, so although it is not prosperous, all kinds of livelihoods are still quite complete. He came out today to see if he could find a job temporarily to subsidize his family.

Who knew that after a long morning of wandering around the street, it was so hot that my tongue was about to stick out, and I couldn't find a job. What's even more exaggerated is that when He Laosan from many shops saw He Yuan coming to find work, they hurriedly refused and sent him out as a gift.

At first, it was an accident, but then I found out that it was strange when I ran into a wall, and then I was an old man, and I couldn't bear to fall down, so I quietly told him the reason.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, the reason for this still appeared in himself. With his small body, he definitely can't do physical work, and he really can't do manual work. Although the writer is capable, no one lacks this corner, and besides, who can rest assured that a half-old child will take care of the accounts. Even if he is a genuine talent, he can't stand his young age.

Probably able to do work such as serving dishes and washing dishes, but the scholars in the county school, in the eyes of ordinary people, these are all people who will be masters in the future, who dares to let them do this kind of lowly work? Even if He Yuan was willing to do it, they were still afraid that other scholars would make trouble. In short, the matter of reading people is too troublesome......
