At noon on the ninth day of the new year, Aiju returned home.

Seeing that Aiju was back, the mound called: Mother, you are back.

Aiju lowered her head and did not say a word.

The mound tilted his head, looked outside the house, and asked, "Mother, why didn't the eldest brother come back with you?"

Aiju said: Didn't the stone come back!

Qianqian responded: No wow! He hasn't been back since he went out in the morning.

Aiju replied: Where did he go to play again! When he comes back, I'll talk about him.

Yesterday's incident made me head and two.

The mound said: Yesterday's incident, it can't blame the eldest brother, the eldest brother is at most an unintentional mistake.

Aiju continued: Unintentional fault, this unintentional mistake is unacceptable.

In the future, before you do anything, you have to think through it.

A few people from the mound said: Hmm.

"Mother, you drank this bowl of tea." Qianqian held a bowl of tea and said:

Aiju shook her head and sighed: Hey!

In the afternoon, Aiju walked home unhurriedly.

When they heard the sound of the low door, they gathered around them and asked, "Mother, where is the eldest brother?"

Aiju responded: He hasn't gone home yet!

Shui Shui replied: No.

Aiju continued: What the hell is he doing! It's so late and I don't come home yet.

"Mother, I'll go out and look for it." Mound Road:

Aiju responded: It's a piece of black pressure outside, where can you find it!

The mound replied: I will carry the lantern to the entrance of the village to look for it.

Shui Shui Dao: We just came back from the entrance of the village.

The mound said: Big brother may be!

Aiju interrupted: Don't look for it! He's coming back, he's coming back himself, he's a teenager, he's going to not know the way home!

Qianqian called: Two younger brothers, if you want to find it, wait until tomorrow to find it!

The mound continued: Sister-in-law is right! We'll look for it tomorrow.

Shui Shui frowned and muttered: Big brother, where have you been!

The next morning, Aiju had just walked into Feng's mansion.

"Aiju, I'm up early enough today! I didn't ask you to call the door, I left it open. Pinbo says:

Aiju said: Today's performance is good, continue to maintain.

Ping Bo was surprised: Ah!

Aiju moved her steps and smiled: Hehe~

"I get up so early every day, don't you want me to die!" Ping Bo frowned and muttered:

"By the way, have you seen any stones!" Aiju stopped and said in a daze:

Pinber replied: No.

But yesterday, yesterday you came with him!

Aiju replied: You said it, but you didn't say it.

Pingbo continued: You asked me, I just said.

Aiju stood still, looking very uneasy.

Pingbo continued: I remember yesterday when he left, he ran out of the house in a hurry.

Aiju responded: Why did he run out of the house!

Ping Bodao: Look at the way he looks, like he's angry with someone!

Hey! Did something happen to him!

Aiju said: I don't know where the stone went! He didn't come home last night, which made us worry all night.

Pingber replied: He was outside all night.

Aiju muttered: He is too worry-free, and he doesn't tell his family where he goes.

Ping Bo persuaded: Aiju, don't worry, the stone boss is not small, he is the one who married his daughter-in-law, maybe he, he will come back later.

Aiju thanked: Thank you Pingbo for your enlightenment! This is something in my house, so you can follow it.

Ping Bo said: Aiju, what are you talking about! I wish I could!

Aiju didn't wait for Pingbo's words to finish.

And her men ran to the house.

"She's always like this, and she doesn't let people finish her words and run away." Pingbo whispered:

"Third lady, are you up!" Aiju stood in front of the third lady's room and knocked on the door.

Bi'er opened the door and asked: Aiju, please come in!

Ai Juli said: Sister Bi'er is early!

Bi'er replied: Ai Ju early.

Aiju wiped her cheeks and strode into the room.

The third lady saw Aiju coming and shouted, "Sister Aiju, come and sit on the stool."

Aiju bowed and said, "The third lady is early!"

The third lady called: Sister Aiju, between our sisters, why are you so polite!

Aiju leaned over to the third lady and asked, "Third lady, do you see any stones?"

The third lady said, "Didn't he come with you yesterday······

"I haven't seen him since he and I came to see you yesterday." Aiju interrupted:

The third lady asked: Was he not at home last night?

Aiju said anxiously: That's right! Our whole family waited for him in the middle of the night and didn't see him until morning.

The third lady said: Sister don't worry! I'm afraid the stone has something to do!

Perhaps, he will be back in two days.

Aiju whispered: I hope so!

The third lady took Aiju's hand and comforted: Sister Aiju, the stone will be safe.

"Hey! Is there anyone in the house? Stone stood in front of a hut in disarray, and shouted:

As soon as these words came out.

An aunt came out of the hut and asked, "Young man, what's the matter with you?"

The stone straightened up and replied: Auntie, what kind of place is this!

The aunt looked at the stone and said, "This place is called: Zhou County."

The stone said: Where is the state and county!

The aunt interrogated: "Young man, where are you from?"

Shi Yingdao: I am from Yizhang, Hunan Province.

The aunt continued: Yizhang is quite far away from us.

"Where are you going, young man?" The aunt asked:

The stone replied: I don't know!

The aunt was surprised: You don't know either!

Shi said weakly: "Auntie, I haven't been far away······

"Young man, it's dangerous outside, you better stay at home." The aunt shouted:

Stone continued: I can't stay at home, I want to go outside!

Auntie said: I'm just reminding you that if you don't listen to you, you are not familiar with life outside, and it will be difficult for you to survive.

Stone coughed and thanked: Thank you, auntie! Thank you Auntie for the reminder!

"Young man, you have hands and feet, and you are smart, you can go and find a job." The aunt called:

"Auntie, can you tell me the specific location here!" Stone muttered:

"You're going north now, this is the north of Yizhang, if you want to go home! You can follow the direction of the sun and you will be able to get home. The aunt looked up at the sun and pointed in the direction of the south.

The stone covered his stomach and said embarrassedly: Auntie, do you still have leftovers at home! I haven't eaten in a day, I, I'm ······

"Seeing that your face is pale, it's really pitiful, I'll go in and find something to eat for you." The aunt turned around and walked straight into the house.

She walked to the stove and lifted the lid to "look", but it was empty.

She glanced at the bowl, which contained a sweet potato.

She grabbed the sweet potato and ran out of the house with all her might.

Shi saw the sweet potato in his aunt's hand, and his mouth chewed involuntarily.

The aunt said, "Young man, my house is a little cold, so I'll find a sweet potato, and you'll be settled."

Stone bowed and said: Thank you! Thank you!

He took the sweet potato and "gobbled it up".

However, he did not eat all day.

He finished the sweet potato in three or two bites.

His stomach was still rattling, cooing.

"I'm really sorry, young man, that's all I have at home." The aunt called:

Shi replied: Auntie, don't say that! I'm sorry for me, I'll go to the front and ask for a little more.

He limped to a tiled house and asked, "Master, it's good!" Please give me a bite to eat!

Hearing the sound of begging, an uncle came out of the house and shouted: Get out, there are decent people who still come to beg, hard work can eat, like you hang your child, don't do your job!

Shi replied: I'm not!

"You go away, go away, I hate such people the most, it's really unlucky." The uncle pushed the stone and shouted:

The stone slowly retreated.

The uncle shouted: You get away, you are standing in the way here.

Stone swallowed his saliva and said silently: I'm just hungry! Treated like a beggar by him! Just now, his attitude towards himself! On another day, I have to beat him up! But what this uncle said is also right, he is young, his hands and feet are complete, he doesn't go to work, but he comes to beg, no wonder others see him as a beggar.

He endured hunger and moved his feet slowly.

At noon, Aiju returned home with leftovers and leftovers.

Her hand pulled at the low door.

"Mother, did the eldest brother find it?" Shui Shui asked:

Ai Ju responded: He is not in the Feng Mansion······

"Mother, Shui Shui and I searched in the village several times but didn't find the eldest brother." The mound answers:

Aiju replied: If you don't find it, forget it, you are not allowed to look for it in the future.

Shui Shui took the leftovers and leftovers in Aiju's hand, and called: Mother, the eldest brother is outside, will he starve! Will he freeze or not!

Aiju said: Who let him run blindly! Let him taste the bitterness.

Shui Shui choked and said: Mother, I miss the eldest brother.

Ai Ju said: Shui Shui, what do you want him to do! He won't be out there and will be back in two days.

Shui Shui wiped the corners of his eyes and replied: Yes!

"Shuishui, what my mother said makes sense, there's nothing outside! Big brother can't last a few days outside. The mound persuaded:

"Two brothers, you're coming over for dinner." Qianqian shouted:

The mound said, "Shuishui, let's go and eat."

Aiju turned her back and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

In the afternoon, Shi came to the door of a tavern and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "Boss, can you give me a bowl of water to drink!"

The boss looked at the stone with a dusty face and replied: You wait.

The stone lay on the counter and shook his head.

The boss poured a bowl of tea and said: Young man, the tea is not hot, you drink it quickly.

Stone picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.

"Young man, I'm very thirsty!" The boss said disdainfully:

The stone smiled slightly and thanked: Thank you boss for the water!

"Young man, what do you want to eat?" The boss asked:

The stone looked in front of him and was filled with customers, and there were a series of food items such as noodles, vermicelli, steamed buns, and steamed buns on the table.

He suppressed his throat and called, "Boss, can you give me something to eat, my stomach is too hungry."

The boss sneered: Young man, you want to give me - inch by inch, I saw that you were very tired, and specially rewarded you with a bowl of tea, you drank tea is not enough, you still want to eat my white food, I tell you, no way.

If you have money, you sit down for me, and I will bring it to you.

No money, you fuck me off.

The stone touched his pocket and said, "Boss, is it okay for me to give you credit!" I'll help you get the work done······

"I won't talk nonsense with you, you go quickly." The boss shouted:

"Boss, I beg you!" The stones clasped their hands together and prayed:

"Boss, give me the next bowl of noodles." A man squeezed beside the stone, and called:

The boss stretched out his hand and replied: "The guest officer is seated."

Just as the guest officer turned around, his shoulder touched the shoulder of the stone.

"Bang" the stone and the whole person fell to the ground.

The guest officer quickly lifted the stone to the table.

The stone blinked his eyes and thanked: Thank you, uncle!

"Guest officer, please use it!" The boss brought a bowl of noodles and asked:

The stone stared at the bowl of noodles in front of him, and his Adam's apple went up and down rhythmically.

The guest officer shouted, "Boss, another bowl of noodles and two steamed buns."

As he spoke, he pushed the bowl of noodles towards the stone.

The stone pulled over the noodle and ate it with three strikes and five divisions.

"What a good appetite, young man!" The guest officer praised:

Shi put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: Uncle, let you see and laugh, I haven't eaten for a day, my stomach!

The guest officer replied: That's no wonder.

Shi asked: Uncle, what's your name?

The guest officer replied: The nickname is not enough to worry about, and the surname is Liu.

Shi Dao: Then I will call you "Uncle Liu", who is Uncle Liu! Where are you going?

The guest officer replied: I went out to do a little business, and my family lives in Yizhang······

"Guest officer, please!" The boss brought over a bowl of noodles and asked:

The guest officer took the noodles and said, "Young man, I see that you are very kind, just now the boss brought me noodles, you clearly wanted to eat them, and you didn't grab them."

Even if I knock you down first······

"Uncle Liu, you didn't hit me, it's me ······" Stone interrupted:

The guest officer smiled and said: Young man, you can say this, which shows that you are open in your heart.

"But I don't understand why you're here! Why is it like this? The guest officer continued:

Shi explained: I haven't eaten for almost two days, my body is a little weak, and the reason why I didn't grab your noodles is because I don't want to be thought that I am a villain.

Also, we are fellow countrymen, and I am also from Yizhang.

The guest officer continued: You are also from Yizhang, which township does your family live in!

Shi replied: My family lives in Li Tian.

The guest officer was stunned and said: Which village!

The stone called: Uncle Liu, are you wiping your account! Why do you ask so clearly!

The guest officer said seriously: What do I do to wipe your account! I don't know your family!

The stone teased: I know, we must have known each other in our last life, and I am still your little brother!

The guest officer replied: You don't want to be poor! Tell me which village your family lives in!

Stone said: I am from Li Village.

"You're from Li Village." The guest officer glared.

"Goo-dong, goo-dong" The stone's belly kept ringing.

The guest officer shouted: Boss, 10 more steamed buns.

The stone touched his stomach, squeezed out a little smile, and said: Uncle Liu, it is too uncompetitive.

The guest officer replied: You are a big guy, it is a long time period, and the amount of food is a little bigger—not strange.

What's more, you haven't eaten for almost two days.

"Guest officer, use it slowly." The boss handed the steamed bun and called:

The guest officer pushed the steamed bun towards the stone with both hands.

Shi glanced at Uncle Liu and said with a smile: Uncle Liu, I won't be polite to you.

He grabbed the steamed bun and nibbled on it in a big gulp.

"You eat slowly, you choke carefully." The guest officer shouted:

The stone swallowed the steamed bun and shouted: It's okay, I'm used to eating like this.

The guest officer replied: This habit is not good, you have to change.

As I just said, I know your family, and several of my classmates are in Li Village······

"It's all in Li Village, you are!" Stone was taken aback:

The guest officer said: You are surprised! My house is in the next village.

Shi stood up, bowed, and said, "Uncle Liu, please forgive me for being clumsy!" I thought we, we met here, we couldn't know each other at all.

Didn't think about it!

"My father has passed away, my mother's name is Aiju, she is now a servant in Feng Mansion, my name is Shishi, I am 14 years old this year." The Stone Says:

The guest officer replied: Aiju, the one who worships the sister with the third lady.

The stone replied: Uncle Liu, you have seen my mother!

The guest officer replied: I haven't seen your mother, and I don't know her.

But I've heard of her.

"Uncle Liu, is your classmate in the Feng Mansion?" Stone asked:

The guest officer nodded and said, "Yes."

"Stone, why are you running out! The world outside is sinister, and you have no money on you! The guest officer was puzzled:

The stone said: I ran out, I'll take a look first—and then I'll talk about it.

The guest officer saw that the steamed buns had been eaten, and called: "Stone, you still can't eat it!" I'll call a few more.

Shi replied: You can eat it, but you can eat it!

The guest officer shouted: Boss, 10 more buns.

"Uncle Liu, I've almost eaten." 石 says:

The guest officer said: You let go of eating, and the amount you eat is mine.

The stone looked around and thanked: Thank you, Uncle Liu!

The guest officer replied: You are here again.

You are really, you are wandering alone, and you are not afraid of your family's concerns.

Shi said: I can't get used to hearing people say I'm poor, I'm 14 years old this year, and I want to go out and break in.

The guest officer touched the head of the stone and smiled: You are not stupid!

"Uncle Liu, since I was born, poverty has become my motto." Stone called:

"Silly boy, I hope you can go your own way! I hope you can make your dreams come true! The guest officer continued:

The guest officer got up and said, "Stone, I'm going home, you go back with me, I'll call a carriage over."

The stone interrupted: Uncle Liu, I went back with you today, how my dream came true!

"If you want to make your dreams come true, you can do it at home!" The guest officer argued:

"Uncle Liu, I don't want to go home for the time being." 石 says:

The guest officer thought about it!

He pulled out a silver bald head from his trouser pocket and asked for a stone to follow.

The stone didn't take it, and said: Uncle Liu, thanks to your hospitality today, I was able to have a full meal.

If! You give me the money again······

"Stone, we are people of the same place, we should help each other when we go out, you don't have it by your side - no, I don't give you much, you keep it in case you need it." The guest officer placed the silver bald head on the stone hand.

The stone held the silver bald head "silently".

The guest officer handed the money to the boss and called: Stone, take care of yourself, you remember to go home.

Shi stood there, staring at the direction of Uncle Liu's departure······
