Chapter 42: Old Friends Reunited
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the flowers bloom again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In the blink of an eye, Yin Fusheng has been teaching at Sanli Academy for more than a year.
In just over a year, the college has changed a lot. Some of the original scholars left, and some new people came. After all, not everyone can understand what he's saying. Those who stay are often so-called, stubborn, and unscrupulous.
On the day after the New Year's Festival, the nostalgic winter of the world greeted the spring and snow.
Yin Fusheng got up in the morning to go to the academy as usual, and as soon as he went out, he saw his father Yin Shitong lying on the ladder, sweeping the snow on the roof, he stepped forward to hold the ladder, "Dad, let me do these jobs!" ”
Yin Shi channel: "The roof of our house has not been repaired for a while, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the pressure of snow." Dad just sweep, you are a teacher, how can you do this rough work. ”
At this time, Xu also got up and went out of the house, went straight out of the courtyard gate, looked in the direction of the city gate, and whispered to himself worriedly, "Why don't you know how to ask someone to bring a letter?" ”
This is already what Xu's must do every day.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, Yin Dezhong went to Jiexiu, and occasionally dragged people to carry a letter or something, saying how much money he earned, where he went, how much of the world he saw, and how the rich man Fan valued him. In short, it's all right.
However, for some reason, after he came back from the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he cut off contact with his family. didn't even show up for the New Year, not even a message. This can be anxious for the Xu family, who wants his son to become a Chan, lying outside the door every day and looking forward to his return.
"Second aunt, my brother will definitely come back after a while." Yin Fusheng comforted.
"Yes, brother and sister, don't worry! At the latest, it will not be more than the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Zhong'er will definitely come back. Didn't he come back from the Mid-Autumn Festival last year! "Yin Shi Passage.
"Well, of course I do." Xu Shi twisted his neck twice, pretending to be indifferent and said: "You said that this child, no matter how busy he is, he has to bring a letter to his family, right?" Alas, this Fan is also a rich man, even if we have the ability in our family, we can't use him alone! Alas! What a ......."
Xu Shi said and turned back.
Yin Fusheng and his father glanced at each other, raised their eyebrows, and smiled speechlessly.
"Alright, you can go to the academy!" Yin Shitong swept the roof and jumped down.
"Huh!" Yin Fusheng helped carry the ladder back to the house, greeted his family, and prepared to go out.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate and walked one foot, he heard someone outside shouting, "Repeat! ”
Yin Fusheng fixed his eyes and saw that it was Chen Daniu.
I saw a large flatbed truck behind him, with a small mountain bag on it and a rag on it. On a snowy day, he was only wearing a jacket and pants, and he was still in tatters. The shoes under the feet are even worse, the single cloth upper has been separated from the sole, and when you lift your foot, you can even see that the sole has worn through the hole.
"Big bull?! What are you doing here? Yin Fusheng hurriedly went out to greet him.
As soon as Chen Daniu saw Yin Fusheng, put down the cart, he threw himself on him and cried, rubbing his snot and tears, "Fusheng, my mother is dead...... ”
"Huh?" Yin Fusheng was startled. It's no wonder that the clothes are torn like this, and no one has mended them. "When?"
"It's been a year ago." Chen Daniu wiped two handfuls of snot and sobbed: "Since you left, our village has never stopped raising taxes." My family didn't have enough wheat to grow, so they robbed my family of the last two acres of land. My mother fell ill in a fit of rage, and after a few months, she died. ”
"What about sweet potatoes? Didn't you plant it and sell it in the county? ”
"Besides, I listened to you and went to the county to sell roasted sweet potatoes, but I didn't attract a buyer, but I attracted a group of homeless people, and I robbed them all. I'm! ”
"So, what about later? Aren't there still three acres of dry land? ”
"Fortunately, thanks to those three acres of dry land and the remaining sweet potatoes, I have been able to survive until now without being starved to death." Chen Daniu wiped his tears, "After my mother died, the people in the village said that my life was hard, and the whole family was killed, and I was not allowed to stay in the village anymore." I can't help it, I can only come to you......"
"No!" Before Chen Daniu finished speaking, Xu rushed over as if he was going to kill someone, "Fusheng, this person's life is too hard, we can't let him stay." Otherwise, our whole family will have to be unlucky. As he spoke, he glared at Chen Daniu with fierce eyes.
Chen Daniu hung his head in frustration and said: "Fusheng, I also know that I shouldn't come, but at that time, I promised you that I would send you sweet potatoes, and I, Chen Daniu, couldn't speak." As he spoke, he turned around and lifted the rags that covered the cart behind him, a whole cart of sweet potatoes. These are the ones I planted in the second half of the year. ”
"So much?" When I saw the sweet potato, if I got a treasure, I was overjoyed. "You can't have come from the village on foot."
"Then why else? Pull it, all the way, don't feel cold! ”
Xu Shi looked at the car of lumps and rolled his eyes disdainfully, "I think, only the two of you in this world will treat lumps as treasures." ”
Yin Fusheng laughed and said, "Second aunt, don't underestimate them. With these lumps, we don't need to take in Chen Daniu, he can buy more than a dozen mansions by himself. As he spoke, he patted Chen Daniu on the shoulder, "Let's go!" ”
"Where are you going?"
Yin Fusheng laughed and said, "Let's send the sweet potatoes to my restaurant first." Then, I took you to buy clothes and changed your shoes. ”
When Chen Daniu heard this, he was happy, "Eh! Hey. ”
"Second brother, are you going to a restaurant? Wait for us, let's go together. Behind him, Yin De'an and Yin Mengzhu ran over.
Zhu'er was the first to jump in front of Yin Fusheng, standing on the snow, spreading her arms, raising her head, facing the slowly drifting snowflakes, tapping her toes, and flying in place, like a dancing elf. In a short time, a puddle of snow appeared on the thick snow under her feet. Her head and body were also covered with snow, like a freshly molded snow doll, clean and without stains.
Not long after, An'er also came. "Big Bull? Why are you here? ”
Chen Daniu didn't say much, only smiled innocently.
Yin De'an didn't ask much, and continued: "Second brother, aren't you going to the academy?" ”
"Well, there's something more important today. You can also go to the restaurant to help. ”
"Huh! Good! ”
"Pearl, let's go." The cart pulled out a few steps, Yin Fusheng turned around, and asked Zhu'er to follow.
Zhu'er stopped dancing and chased after her, only then did she notice Chen Daniu, "Huh? Big bull brother? Yikes! And sweet potatoes! I haven't eaten in a long time. ”
"I'll let you eat enough today." Yin Fusheng laughed and said: "Zhu'er, An'er, help push the cart, and when you get to the restaurant in a while, throw a few into the stove to roast." ”
"Hah! That's great. An'er and Zhu'er said in unison.
Looking at the backs of a few people leaving, Xu pouted behind him, "More than a dozen houses?" What about when it's a gold nugget or a silver nugget? ”……
On heavy snowy days, snowflakes cover your eyes, there are no small vendors on the streets, there are few pedestrians, and restaurants are naturally not busy.
A few people and the cook of the restaurant unloaded the sweet potatoes into the kitchen, and Yin Fusheng went to the academy to inform them, and asked the students to study on their own for a few days, and then came out and took Chen Daniu to buy winter clothes and cotton boots.
