Chapter 4: On the Name Change
Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was time to make breakfast, and besides, she was really hungry, so she said to Liu San'er, "Little San'er..."
Obviously, it was a little weird to scream, but Ye Xiaoyan felt that it was very good.
Hearing Ye Xiaoyan's voice, San'er stood up suddenly, her big eyes flashed, and she cowardly shouted again, "Little lady!" ”
"Hmm...... Do you have anything to eat at home? Ye Xiaoyan asked.
"There's still some brown rice left at home, so I'll cook for my little mother!" San'er said that he was about to go to the stove room, Ye Xiaoyan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "No need, no need, just tell me where it is!" ”
Want an eight-year-old to cook? How embarrassing? Will he do it? And it's not that she's pretending, the little guy is now dirty all over his body, and he really doesn't dare to let him do it, after all, he wants to eat!
"Oh! Then I'll take my little lady there! San'er bowed his head and said, took a small wooden basin from the yard, and then took Ye Xiaoyan into the room on the left, although he heard Xiaoniang say that some things couldn't be remembered, but he still had some lingering palpitations!
Thinking about Ye Xiaoyan's harmony with him again, he was entangled in his heart, since he beat her to this family, he would scold him and beat him at every turn, why did he have a kind and pleasant expression towards him at this time, did he really forget, or was it because his father was gone?
He hoped that she had forgotten, he didn't beg Ye Hua'er to let him eat and sleep in the future, nor did he beg her not to scold him and beat him in the future, as long as she didn't leave herself, if he let him follow those two half-brothers, he would rather suffer here!
The two elder brothers have never had a good face for him, the fight is more painful than Ye Hua'er's, and the scolding is more fierce than Ye Hua'er, which will make him have endless work, will let him sleep with domestic animals, and only have a small half bowl of porridge for a meal, which will occasionally make him hungry.
The physical pain is nothing to him, but the two brothers will use the most embarrassing words to scold him and his mother, listening to those words, his heart hurts like ten thousand ants devouring his heart, but he can't go back, if he does, he will not please him, and he will be beaten badly.
He knew that since he married his own mother, his father and the two brothers have separated, and his father has divided the old house and a few acres of good land to the two brothers, and he and his mother bought this yard, he remembers, the property is written in his name! The only seven-point land in the mountain behind his home is also his name!
He understands very well that as long as he follows his two brothers, then this house and that land will become his brothers', and he doesn't want to give them, these are the things left to him by her mother and father, and the only thing that his mother left him.
It would be a lie to say that he doesn't hate Ye Huaer, although he was bullied by his two elder brothers in various ways, but his father and mother never touched him at all, and now he was beaten and scolded by a 'stepmother', how could he not hate it?!
But on the eve of his father's death, he told him to protect her and take care of her, he had to respond, this was his father's only last wish before leaving, even if he hated this girl who was only two years older than him, he had to take care of her.
followed San'er into the room, Ye Xiaoyan couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, this room is a grocery room, right? Useful and useless things are piled up in the room, making the room smell unpleasant!
Leaning against the east wall, several planks were combined to form a bed, on which was a tattered mattress with a small tattered quilt!
"This isn't where you sleep, is it?" Looking at San'er, Ye Xiaoyan couldn't help asking.
"Hmm!" San'er nodded, and didn't worry much about this matter, pointing to the rice jar next to the pile of debris, and said. "Rice is there!"
Ye Xiaoyan pursed her lips, snatched the wooden basin in San'er's hand, and walked towards the rice jar, but when she saw the brown rice inside, she immediately regretted it, she regretted what she had decided to stay here, if hitting the wall and jumping into the river to hang herself to take medicine can make her return to modern times, she will definitely go without hesitation...... It's really not good, burn a pot of charcoal, and if you do it again, carbon dioxide poisoning will become ...... As long as I can go back!
She can tolerate brown rice if it doesn't look good, and she can accept it if it doesn't taste good, but how can she accept this amount?!
The rice in this vat can be grabbed with three claws with her little claws, and it can be caught without leaking!
She just thinks that there is no money in this house, she can tolerate it without money, she can earn it slowly, she just thinks that this house is more dilapidated, she can tolerate the tatters, she can repair it slowly, but without food, how will she live? She absolutely can't stand it, the money can be earned slowly, the house can be repaired slowly, and she will slowly starve to death when she runs out of food......
"Anything else?" She asked with the same small hope as she could wear it back.
San'er shook her head ruthlessly, and her hope was suddenly extinguished, and it was shattered.
"After my father went, the eldest brother and the second brother moved the food away one by one! I can't stop it...... I caught them secretly without paying attention."
Ye Xiaoyan was speechless, this kind of brother is really superb, although San'er is not their mother's sibling, but he is also a younger brother of the same blood, isn't this obviously not leaving him a way to live?
Hey? Ye Xiaoyan squinted slightly and thought, San'er is a descendant of the Liu family, even if there is no food at home, who can not give it to him when he goes to eat at the two brothers' houses? Thinking of these two families not waiting to see her, could it be that they were trying to get rid of Ye Hua'er?
Tsk, when I think about it, I also think there is such a reason!
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a few potatoes on the ground stall, and was slightly shocked, the potatoes were introduced to our China from abroad when Zheng He went to the West! So which dynasty is this now? Even potatoes are available, excluding the dynasties above the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, and looking at San'er's dress, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China can also be ruled out......
Then there is only one Ming Dynasty left............
I want to open my mouth to ask San'er if this is the Ming Dynasty, and I think that this is just an eight-year-old little guy, how can I know this? Habitually pursed her lips, she has eaten millet porridge, preserved egg and lean porridge, sweet potato porridge, pumpkin porridge, lotus leaf porridge, etc., now why don't you try it and make a potato porridge to try?
After thinking about it like this, he made up his mind, handed the pot to San'er, bent down and picked up a few large potatoes, and then went out of the room with him and went to the stove!
Naturally, this rice didn't dare to let San'er wash it, so he asked him if he would make a fire, and he lit the fire first! I washed the little brown rice and a few large potatoes myself!
In this era, there was no pressure cooker, and cooking was done in a large pot of stir-frying, putting brown rice in it, mixing it with a small half pot of water, and then peeling the potatoes, cutting them into small cubes, putting them in the pot together, and then covering them with a wooden lid!
The little guy's ability to make a fire is really not covered, and his eyes are particularly bright from the raging fire, but it's a pity that his face can't see his true 'color' clearly!
"You boil a hot pot and take a shower, and change into clean clothes!" Ye Xiaoyan said.
San'er was slightly stunned, and said softly, "Little lady, boiling pot water will waste a lot of firewood!" ”
"Ahem......" Ye Xiaoyan almost fell down when she heard this, these words were too thunderous, and she was scorched inside and out, and asked funny, "Who told you this?" "The person who said this is absolutely superb!
"What the little lady said before!" The little guy whispered softly, and although the voice was small, it still entered her ears! The smile on his face froze for a while, a little unnatural.
"I used to tease you, hehe...... That one...... Boil water and take a bath! Ye Xiaoyan scratched his head a little embarrassed and said.
San'er didn't say anything, just whispered 'Oh'! lit a fire in another earthen stove, and Ye Xiaoyan was not idle, filling the pot with a wooden scoop of water!
After the brown rice boiled, Ye Xiaoyan picked up the vegetable spoon again and stirred it, although the two sons of this old man Liu are superb, fortunately, their subordinates were merciful and did not take the kitchen utensils away, otherwise she would really want to cry without tears!
How did Ye Xiaoyan know, it was not that they were not going well, but that they were not going to go, and they wanted to go away with the kitchen utensils, furniture and farm tools several times, but they all made Liu Shaoru, the son of the Lu family, roar!
Let's say that Liu Shaoru has some background in the village, and it is his second uncle, who dares to go against him in the village? Therefore, the two of them secretly carried the food away behind their backs, and by the way, they took a few tools, but they didn't make any big moves.
Boil the water, let the three children go to wash, wash and eat enough to make up for sleep, for the growth and development of children, this sleep is extremely important.
After boiling the potato brown rice porridge, Ye Xiaoyan added a little salt. Potatoes will be hard to eat without salt......
After rummaging through the stove room a few times, I finally found a bowl in the cupboard that was much bigger than the sea bowl, filled the bowl with a full bowl of porridge, and then brought it to the hall!
Speaking of which, this hall is actually simple enough, except for a table, a few stools, and a set of furniture for kettles and teacups, there is really nothing!
After Ye Xiaoyan took out three porcelain spoons and two black porcelain bowls from the stove room, San'er also took a bath! When she saw San'er's face, she couldn't help but be stunned!
She knew that San'er was very good-looking, but she didn't know that San'er would be so good-looking! Xu is face was dirty before, and he couldn't see the handsome eyebrows. After removing the first dirt, it is a face that can easily make people sin!
Even if the word 'malnutrition' is written on his face, it still can't stop his pretty face, his natural white skin looks crystal clear, the bridge of his nose is straight, his thin lips are slightly pursed, especially those dark eyes, it is even more difficult to block his posture!
God, that's how an eight-year-old kid is...... Out of the 'color'! When you grow up...... Hmm, it's unimaginable......
"Little lady?!" San'er's thin lips opened lightly, and he called out leisurely.
"Huh?! …… Uh......" Ye Xiaoyan realized that he was out of shape, and secretly scolded himself, he was twenty-five years old, and he had such an expression towards an eight-year-old child......
I felt extremely happy in my heart, so happy, once I crossed over, I picked up such a beautiful cheap son.
"Let's drink porridge first!" Retracted his gaze, took the bowl in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand, filled two bowls of porridge, and placed one of the bowls on the opposite side!
San'er didn't say anything this time, sat on the stool obediently, and drank porridge slowly! I don't know if this porridge tastes good or because I'm hungry, Ye Xiaoyan sat down and drank a small half bowl, and San'er's bowl was already empty!
He looked at Ye Xiaoyan with beautiful eyes, and then at the porridge in the bowl, as if he still wanted to eat and was afraid of Ye Xiaoyan, Ye Xiaoyan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and stood up and served him a bowl, "Eat as much as you want, there is still half of the pot in it!" ”
San'er cowardly said a good word!
Ye Xiaoyan sat down, looked at San'er and thought about it, and it seemed that he hadn't asked his name yet.
"What's your last name?" Ye Xiaoyan asked while taking a sip of porridge.
"Liu San!" San'er said.
The porridge that had just been swallowed by "poof...... was squirted out instantly, and he quickly wiped his mouth to hide his tense, "How about changing your name?!" ”
"Huh?!" When San'er heard this, his head, which had been hanging his head and drinking porridge, was raised, and a pair of starry eyes stared at Ye Xiaoyan.
"It's called Liu Che! In the future, I will call you Xiao San'er......" She ignored San'er's gaze and said to herself.
Who is Liu Che? Ye Ziyan's favorite emperor of the Han Dynasty, not talking about personal feelings, only talking about his way of governing the country, she likes it very much. However, Ye Xiaoyan's meaning of this name is not because she wants San'er to become a dragon and phoenix among people, but just because she thinks this name is very good!
San'er nodded invisibly, "Let the little lady decide!" ”
