Chapter 165: Falling Leaves
Chapter 165: Falling Leaves
The carriage was slow, and it took about a quarter of an hour to arrive at Yangjiapo, and as soon as the three of them got off the carriage, Ye Shaoke saw a somewhat familiar face.
Dressed in coarse cloth, with a few patches on his body, but he looked very clean and tidy, and a somewhat dark face, which looked a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Miss Ye?"
Ye Shaoke was still searching in his mind, but he saw that the man had already walked towards her, and some Burmese openings had summoned her.
Ye Shaoke was stunned, she can remember anything, but she is a little busy. Many people who are not at ease with it, even if they have seen it a few times, she will forget.
Seeing Ye Shaoke looking at himself, the man scratched the back of his head innocently, because he looked black, and he couldn't see the shy and embarrassed blush on his face.
"Miss Ye, I am Yang Cheng who is married to Liyan."
As soon as he heard Liyan, Ye Shao was stunned! Only then did I remember that Zhou Liyan's in-law was not Yang Jiapo's? Just smiled awkwardly!
"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it for a while."
Yang Cheng waved his hand again and again, saying that it didn't matter.
"Where, a noble person like Miss Ye, it's normal not to remember the little one, but Miss Ye is my Yang Cheng's great benefactor in this life, and Yang Cheng will always remember Miss Ye's great kindness."
As soon as Ye Shaoke heard him, he knew that this Yang Cheng must be referring to his marriage to Zhou Liyan, so he smiled.
"Hey, Cheng boy, do you know this girl? That's a coincidence. ”
Yang Cheng saw that the mother-in-law who sold chickens called him, so he stepped forward to say hello.
"Second aunt, this Miss Ye is from Liyan's village, and the matter between me and Liyan was thanks to Miss Ye's help in talking!"
When the old woman saw it, she became even more enthusiastic. hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and welcomed Ye Shaoke and a few people in.
"Hey, why didn't you say it sooner! It turned out to be my benefactor who became my nephew! Miss Ye, please come in, the house is simple, but she is sluggish. ”
Then Ye Shaoke and Zhang Wu entered this small courtyard, looked around, and saw no trace of chicken feathers, and their faces were puzzled.
"Miss Ye, you wait, I'll go to my housekeeper, he is in the backyard, he must be serving those chickens and ducks, you are a nobleman, you don't have to go to that dirty place, so as not to get a smell."
When the words fell, the old woman turned around and called Yang Cheng again.
"Cheng boy, help my aunt catch some chickens and ducks, and I'll have to trouble you and your second uncle to help send them to Miss Ye's house later."
Yang Cheng hurriedly nodded in agreement, then rolled up his sleeves and walked to the backyard with the mother-in-law.
"Zhang Wu, you also go to catch it, there are hundreds of them, and the three of them don't know how busy they will be!"
Ye Shaoke looked at Zhang Wu, who had a dark face, and gave him an angry look, and after dropping that sentence, he followed Yang Cheng and them into the backyard.
After a burst of chickens and dogs, plus Ye Shaoke, a total of five people, caught more than 100 chickens and ducks running around. A few people are already sweating profusely!
"Girl, I think I'll catch so much today, I'll send you the rest later in the afternoon, my family can't fit even one ox cart, plus the ox cart of Murakami Tiezhu's family is so much, I don't think it's all the same."
Just when Ye Shaoke felt that he was full of chicken and duck, the old man of the old woman's family spoke.
Ye Shaoke looked at the group of chickens and ducks trapped together, and nodded again and again.
By the time Ye Shaoke came home with a flock of chickens and ducks, it was already afternoon. Unloading the goods, Ye Shaoke hurriedly entered his yard after explaining a few words, and as soon as he closed the courtyard door and entered the house, he flashed into the space.
After a few times, there was finally no smell on his body, Ye Shaoke exhaled heavily, and walked out of the house in a flash.
When I came out, I saw that Yang Cheng was in the front yard, and the old man Yang had already sent the second trip to the chicken and duck. When Ye Shaoke walked in, they were just finished.
"Miss Ye, the chickens and ducks here will give you a price, since you are the benefactor of Cheng Boy, then this price is less than what I said before, a total of six hundred and thirty-two catties, count you six hundred and thirty catties."
When Old Man Yang finished speaking, he wiped his clothes vigorously with both hands, and looked at Ye Shaoke with a little embarrassment.
Ye Shao could see that Old Man Yang was so happy, so he asked Qing Su to withdraw five taels of silver and handed it to Old Man Yang.
"Uncle Yang, since you are so refreshing, then you are welcome. I've really worked hard for you today, and I want chickens and ducks to look for you in the future. ”
Seeing the hundreds of texts that Ye Shaoke gave, Old Man Yang was happy and thanked him again and again.
When the two were talking, Yang Cheng had already cleaned the ox cart, and then turned around and waited for Uncle Yang to drive the ox cart back together.
Ye Shao can see that he is indeed an honest child, thinking that although Zhou Liyan will not be angry when she marries, it must not be easy for Zhou Liyan to live a better life in the situation of his family.
Thinking of this, she stopped Yang Cheng.
"Brother Yang, you see that there are suddenly more chickens and ducks in my house, and there is inevitably a lack of people, if you don't dislike it, can you stay in my house and help me take care of those chickens and ducks."
Raising chickens and ducks is just an excuse for Ye Shaoke. She just wanted to leave people behind, she wanted to observe. After all, Uncle Zhou's family is really good to her family, if this Yang Cheng is still a seedling that can be shaped, she doesn't mind pulling him.
As soon as he heard that Ye Shaoke was going to stay and work by himself, Yang Cheng's face was full of joy!
"Cheng, then I'll send the ox cart back first, and I'll come later."
Yang Cheng is also anxious, now the weather is getting colder and colder, and he hasn't hunted anything on the mountain several times, and the family has long been unable to open the pot, go backwards, and wait for the snow, he and his mother really don't know how to live that day! Now that Ye Shaoke has given him such an opportunity, of course he nodded happily and excitedly and agreed again and again.
"Don't worry, Brother Yang, you can come over tomorrow, I heard Sister Liyan say that you still have a mother at home, if you don't worry, you can take it together."
Hearing Ye Shaoke say this, Yang Cheng's tears of emotion were about to benefit from his eyes!
Ye Shaoke's current image is like a heavenly maiden descending to earth, saving his and his mother's lives! ,
It started when his father was sick. The family not only sold all the property, but sold everything that was valuable and could be sold, just to treat his father, but in the end his father left their mother and son.
At this point, he has also seen the warmth and coldness of human affection, and his family is now hungry and cold, and there are many people who have fallen into the well, but there are very few people who send carbon to Ye Shaoke in the snow!
After sending off Old Man Yang and Yang Cheng, Ye Shaoke went to the backyard, looking at the chickens and ducks running around the yard, Ye Shaoke felt that life was getting better and better.
The pond already had a basic shape, and Ye Shaoke walked around again, that is, he went to the courtyard where Ye Feng and they were.
Before entering the door, she heard the sound of ping-pong banging iron from afar, she buckled the door, and soon someone came to open a crack in the courtyard door.
"The girl is here! You're just in time, Master Zhan is worried about that wheel! ”
The person who came was a craftsman sent by Leng Lingye, who was about thirty years old, and when he saw Ye Shaoke, he told them about the problems they encountered.
Ye Shaoke followed the man into a room in the courtyard, and at this time, he saw many people practicing ironware, Zhan Yuancheng, Ye Feng and another leading craftsman, Master Liu, were discussing something.
"You girl, take a look, what material is this tire made of? Master Liu said to use ordinary wood instead, but I don't think wood is durable. ”
Seeing Ye Shaoke come in, Zhan Yuancheng directly called her over, handed over the drawings, and told them about the problem they were arguing about, hoping that Ye Shaoke would have an idea.
"Wood is really not good, it is very cumbersome to run, in the book I used to read, foreigners use a wheel made of something similar to cowhide, blow the air, and add a thicker layer of cowhide to protect it, the wheel must be lighter than the wheel made of wood and iron."
When the bicycle began to be put into research and development, Ye Shaoke thought of this problem, and he had already thought of a countermeasure, that is, he said the method he thought of.
When Zhan Yuancheng heard this, there was a thoughtful look on his face, and then he nodded.
"Otherwise, let's try cowhide, but it doesn't work, then let's use wood and iron sheet instead." Master Liu is not easy to refute, he also knows Ye Shaoke's identity, and he still has to give some face, so he agrees.
Originally, Zhan Yuancheng and Ye Feng didn't agree with the use of wood and iron sheets, but seeing that Ye Shao had a way, they agreed to try it.
Ye Shao ignored them, and just walked around the house. The other parts of the bicycle are also almost done, including those screws and nuts, which are also reminded by Ye Shaoke, they are also built, and in the end, they just need to press the tires, and they can be completed.
"Madam, come into the house quickly, you are still pregnant with the little master! Why did it come out again, how could it be that the cold wind was blowing? ”
Ye Mei leaned against a poplar tree in her yard, looking at the withered branches, and her heart was full of thoughts.
In this kind of day, although she is clothed and fed, the hollowness in her heart has already shaped her into a taciturn person.
"Xiaoshan, you go and prepare a carriage for me, I want to go back to Baiye Village."
Watching the last leaf on the branch fall, after flying in the air for a circle, and then falling alone on the ground, Ye Mei seemed to see the back half of her body.
When the maid behind her heard this, her face turned pale quickly! Kneel down again and again!
"Madame! The weather is cold enough, it looks like it's going to snow in the next few days, and Madame is still pregnant with the little master! The weather is still bumpy in a carriage, if something happens, how can the slave and maid explain to the master! ”
