Chapter 12: Get along
"Open the door, I can't pay the money!"
Ma Xiaoyu banged on the door helplessly, he was angry and hateful in his heart, angry that he had no ability to ask for others, and hated Mao Bufan for being too powerful and bullying!
Mao Bufan opened the door and stretched out his hand.
"Give me the money, how long are you going to live here?"
Ma Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but I have to learn the Tao of the Mao family before I can go back, how long do you think it will take to learn?"
Mao Bufan sneered and said: "That's not easy to say, some people can get out of school in a few years, and some people still can't study for a lifetime, who knows what kind of person you are, so let's calculate the house money for two years first, and then I won't say anything else." ”
Ma Xiaoyu nodded helplessly, who told us to learn from others!
took out the stack of money from his pocket, and before Ma Xiaoyu handed it over, he saw Mao Bufan snatch it away!
"I'll see if the money is enough. ”
Mao Bufan counted them one by one, counted them again and found that they were 99, and Mao Bufan counted them again.
"Here is 4,950 yuan, according to ten yuan a day, you are not enough for two years' house money, so you not only have to follow me to learn skills, but also help me work to offset the money you owe me!"
Ma Xiaoyu has no concept of money at all, how much money his aunt gave him when he left, he never counted, he has no experience of living alone, and he does not have that sense of money, but Mao Bufan is different, she has lived alone for eight years, and in the past eight years, she has honed a pure child into an old fritter in the rivers and lakes!
"Okay, okay, what do you say, do what you do, then you take all the money, you have to get me something to eat, and my room really can't be lived. ”
Mao Bufan put the money in his pocket, then walked into the small courtyard, looked at the house on the left that had already collapsed and said: "That's right, it's really not inhabitable here, okay, it seems that you pay the rent, I'll think of a way for you, as for the food, I can't do anything, because I only have a nest head, do you like to eat or not!"
After speaking, Mao Bufan turned around and returned to the room, and after a while, he took out a toolbox from the room, Mao Bufan carried the toolbox and came to the back of the Taoist temple!
Behind the Taoist temple is a small forest, and the trees in this forest look very thin, and they should not have been planted for a few years.
Mao Bufan found a few suitable small trees, put them down easily, and then started to get busy!
"Ma Xiaoyu, come over here and bring these pieces of wood back. ”
"Ma Xiaoyu, come here and dig out these roots. ”
"Ma Xiaoyu, hurry up, hand me the rope!"
"Ma Xiaoyu, Ma Xiaoyu, Ma Xiaoyu!"
Mao Bufan's voice has been echoing in Ma Xiaoyu's ears, but Ma Xiaoyu is annoyed to death, but there is no way to refuse, because Mao Bufan is helping him build a house!
The two of them were busy for a long time, from ten o'clock in the morning to three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Xiaoyu looked at a building like a cowshed, standing there impressively, he was stupid!
"The surname is Mao, you don't want me to live here, do you?"
Ma Xiaoyu pointed to the cowshed, then walked up, and saw that the cowshed was not as tall as himself, so he looked at Mao Bufan in surprise and asked!
"Why, can't you live here? Then if you don't want to, you can go to the room on the right and build it yourself, don't be ignorant, I haven't asked you for tuition yet, you still pick and choose for me!"
"Okay, I won't say where I live, what about the food, from morning to now, you will give me a nest head, I am hungry and dizzy now, what should I do!"
"Wait, I'll get you something delicious!"
As soon as Ma Xiaoyu heard that there was something delicious, he immediately followed up.
"What are you doing with me, didn't you make you wait. ”
"I'll see where you're going to get some good food, and I don't see a stove!"
"Okay, just follow it!"
Mao Bufan took Ma Xiaoyu to the back of the Taoist temple, and through the small forest, Ma Xiaoyu saw a piece of land on the edge of the forest, and there were many green plants planted in the ground, but Ma Xiaoyu didn't know what these plants were called!
However, seeing Mao Bufan lying on the ground, as if he was going to gnaw on these grasses, Ma Xiaoyu was stunned!
"Hey, you don't want me to eat these grasses, you really raised me as a cow, first let me live in the cowshed, and now you want me to eat grass, you're too black-hearted!"
"What the hell is your name, who made you eat grass, you can see clearly, this is a sweet potato, sweet potatoes do you know what they are, turtle!"
Ma Xiaoyu saw Mao Bufan lying on the ground, pulling in the soil for a long time, pulling out several things covered with mud, he had never seen sweet potatoes, and Taipei was not suitable for growing sweet potatoes.
"Let's go, go back, I'll show you my cooking!"
Ma Xiaoyu didn't know what was in Mao Bufan's hands, but it looked dirty, and it was definitely not delicious, so he already had the belief that he was hungry!
Back in the Taoist temple, Mao Bufan dug a small pit in the middle of the courtyard of the Taoist temple, put the sweet potatoes in it, and then found those dry branches cut down during the day, and lit a fire on the small pit, the flames reflected the red light, plus the residual glow of the sunset shone on the earth, making the whole Taoist temple look unusually warm, just like that, the two of them waited quietly around the fire!
Ma Xiaoyu secretly glanced at Mao Bufan, the firelight and the sunset reflected on Mao Bufan's face, reflecting a soft light, he found that the person in front of him had a different temperament, but he couldn't say what was different.
After about ten minutes, Mao Bufan set aside the fire, and at this time, Ma Xiaoyu suddenly smelled an attractive aroma emanating from the small pit!
"What is this, why is it so fragrant!"
Ma Xiaoyu stretched out his head to see what had become of those things in the pit, but when he saw it, he had no appetite at all, because those sweet potatoes were roasted black and mushy, which looked super ugly!
"Can I eat this?"
Ma Xiaoyu glanced at the sweet potato and asked!
"Cut, do you like to eat or not!"
Mao Bufan reached out and grabbed a sweet potato, because the sweet potato had just been roasted and was a little hot, she quickly threw the sweet potato on the ground, and then pinched her ears with her hands!
Ma Xiaoyu looked at Mao Bufan's movements, and always felt that my sister had done this action when she was a child, because my sister was a girl, and her hands were relatively tender, once she touched something hot, her sister would pinch her ears with her hands, and Ma Xiaoyu also asked her sister why she did this, but her sister didn't answer him!
Mao Bufan picked up the roasted sweet potato that fell on the ground again, at this time the outside of the sweet potato was not so hot, Mao Bufan gently tore open the sweet potato skin, and the yellow sweet potato flesh inside was exposed, Mao Bufan blew a breath, gently bit down a little, and the aroma of the sweet potato once again rushed into Ma Xiaoyu's nose, making Ma Xiaoyu's stomach gurgle!
Ma Xiaoyu also hurriedly pulled out one with a wooden stick, learned from Mao's extraordinary appearance, and tore open the sweet potato skin, because he had never eaten it, Ma Xiaoyu didn't know that freshly baked sweet potatoes could not be eaten directly, because the sweet potato core was particularly hot, but Ma Xiaoyu took a big bite!
"Ahh
Because it was too hot, Ma Xiaoyu had to spit out the delicious sweet potatoes in his mouth, and seeing Ma Xiaoyu being burned, Mao Bufan couldn't help laughing!
