Chapter 4 Boarding
Old man Liu was a foreign worker of the king, because he was old and had no children, so he was arranged to go to Liujia Village on the outskirts of the city to manage livestock and provide fresh meat for the palace.
Steward Chen took Wen Yu's little hand and forcibly pulled him out of the palace.
He foamed at the mouth and scolded, "Dead boy, my housewife has been married for so many years and has no children, and she hates children"
Wen Yu gave him a blank look and didn't say a word, for him, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain was better than anything else.
Liujia Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the mountain stream in the east, flows down a clear spring, forming a crooked stream, the banks are willow trees, and there are a few dried lotus bushes, Wen Yu carried his luggage, came to the wooden bridge, after this bridge, it is Liujia Village.
"Dead boy, do you see it, which one is Old Man Liu" Steward Chen stood on the wooden bridge and pointed to the old man who was grazing cattle on the field dam.
Wen Yu has had good eyesight since he was a child, and he saw a rickety old man in the direction pointed by Steward Chen, who was sitting on top of the field stalks, wearing a hat and a robe, surrounded by a few fighting cattle herding babies.
When Wen Yu and Steward Chen approached, the little baby stopped playing and looked at Wen Yu and the two timidly.
Old man Liu also got up with difficulty and asked, "Steward Chen, what about the family who transports livestock, why do you have a child?"
Steward Chen pulled Wen Yu forward, wiped his clothes with his dirty hands, and replied, "This child is a distant relative of the master mother, and he will go to school with Master Li in the city in the future, so let him live here with you, the master mother doesn't like children, especially wild children."
Old man Liu hurriedly replied, "It's hard work Steward Liu, Liu Lao'er knows"
Steward Liu didn't look back, and went back scolding.
Wen Yu saw that Steward Liu was gone, so he blinked and looked around with big eyes.
Old man Liu reached into his chest pocket, and Wen Yu's vigilant palms clenched, intending to escape at any time.
Who knew that this old man took out a long time, but he took out half a small cake and handed it to Wen Yudao, "Child, are you hungry, give it to you, eat"
Wen Yu took the cake and thanked "Thank you, Grandpa Liu"
"Hey, hey, haha, there's a new little friend" The cowherd baby next to him also jumped up happily.
"Let's go, let's go back" Old man Liu took a wooden whip and drove herds of cattle and sheep to the place where he lived.
Wen Yu followed closely behind him with his luggage.
Driving the cattle and sheep back to the cattle pen, Old Man Liu took Wen Yu's luggage and said with a smile: "Child, what is your name?" ”
Wen Yu replied, "Grandpa Liu, my name is Wen Yu, and I am eight years old this year."
Night falls
Because Old Man Liu only had a wooden bed, Xiao Wenyu could only sleep in the forage in the attic, so he took off the cowhide and deer skin on his body and took out the new clothes that his father Wen Yu bought.
I hugged it in my arms.
"Dad, mother, I will definitely live bravely and will not cry again"
Early the next morning
Old man Liu had already cooked porridge for Wen Yu, and Wen Yu climbed down the attic and was greatly moved.
Old man Liu said kindly, "Little grandson, go wash and drink porridge."
For Wen Yu's arrival, Old Man Liu was unprepared, thinking that he would die alone like this, and now that he was accompanied by a child, he felt in a better mental state.
After breakfast, Old Man Liu sent Wen Yu all the way to the wooden bridge, Wen Yu turned around and waved his hand to Old Man Liu and said, "Grandpa Liu, I can do it by myself, you don't need to send me"
Old man Liu looked at Wen Yu, who turned to leave, took out two hard-boiled eggs from the tattered cloth bag and shouted, "Little grandson, you take these two eggs, eat them quietly, don't let the main family see them."
Wen Yu wanted to refuse, but looking at the smiling and kind old man, he still took the egg and put it in the cloth bag.
Wen Yu was afraid that she would be late for the first day of school, so she took the egg and ran desperately to the city, and disappeared into the forest path after a while.
Old man Liu touched his gray beard and shouted, "Little grandson, run slower"
Wen Yu's response voice "Got it" came from a distance, Wen Yu didn't know, because these two eggs, this was the last time they met.
