Chapter 44: One Year
"Little brother, little brother......"
Yang Ge groggily tried to open his eyelids, and saw a wrinkled face illuminated by the dim light of the oil lamp, shaking in front of his eyes, and he was awakened by drowsiness from a strange perspective.
But after he narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully, his mind relaxed again, and he leaned back on the table and yawned and said, "Shopkeeper, it's so early." ”
Shopkeeper Liu looked at the messy tabletop: "How many days did you eat wine last night?" ”
Yang Ge replied vaguely: "It seems to be the fourth watch, by the way, the shopkeeper, the remaining mutton from last night has been reimbursed, and a total of four urns are full of incense, you can settle the account...... Hey, what about Jiang Kui? ”
He straightened up suddenly, looking left and right.
Shopkeeper Liu: "Don't look for it, you're the only one in the store!" ”
Yang Ge's eyelids drooped again: "Leave without saying hello, it's really ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a book with a gray-black cover on the chimney of the copper pot.
He grabbed it in surprise and took a look, and saw that there were six big characters written on the cover, "Eighteen Road Lingshuang Knife", and the words were powerful through the back of the paper, and one horizontal and one vertical were like blades!
Seeing these six words, Yang Ge's heart suddenly floated Shen Fan's fox-squinting smile: "I really convinced you old 6!" ’
"Little brother, this ......"
Shopkeeper Liu saw the six words on the cheats clearly, and his heart "popped", and his face changed.
Yang Ge hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, even I don't know that he kept this, and naturally no second person will know, and there will be no sequelae in the custody!" ”
Shopkeeper Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted him on the back angrily and said: "Okay, let's go back and settle the account, it's cold and freezing on this snowy day, you stay up all night, go back and rest first." ”
"It's snowing?"
Yang Ge got up suddenly, ran to the window, and pushed open the fence window, and saw snowflakes like fine salt floating all over the windowsill.
Behind him, Shopkeeper Liu cleaned up the dishes neatly, while muttering happily: "I have to let our in-laws prepare a few more sheep when we go back, and the business will be better later......"
Yang Ge looked out the window for a long time, and suddenly said, "Shopkeeper, I have to take a leave today." ”
Shopkeeper Liu: "Something?" ”
Yang Ge nodded: "It's snowing, I have to go back to the countryside to see, the old man lives alone, I don't worry." ”
When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he hurriedly put down the dishes, wiped his hands and walked to the window to look out at the snow on the street, nodded and said, "Let's go and borrow you an ox cart, you are good aisle." ”
Yang Ge: "I thank you, but don't bother, didn't you listen to Brother Fu?" I practice my legs, and this bit of snow is out of the way! ”
Shopkeeper Liu: "You can't see us!" ”
Yang Ge: "When did I meet you?" ”
Shopkeeper Liu smiled comfortably: "Then you can go, let's go and ask your rich brother and his family to come to the store later, you can be busy, you don't have to come back in a hurry." ”
Yang Ge shook his head: "It's okay, I'm fast, I can come back before closing the city gate, just busy with the night trip." ”
After a pause, he said: "Last night's account, you can calculate what you want, and the rest of the money is stored in the account...... With the money saved, he might be able to come back for another meal! ”
Shopkeeper Liu was shocked: "What? Is the black guy coming? ”
Yang Ge couldn't help but smile and said: "People are now serious officials and families, and they eat imperial food, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”
"Look at what you're saying!"
Shopkeeper Liu was much more relieved, but he still scolded angrily: "He is an official family, so we shouldn't be afraid?" Haven't you heard that 'the people don't fight with the officials'? ”
Yang Ge shook his head: "This guy is different......"
Shopkeeper Liu sneered and turned his head to continue to clean up the dishes: "What's the difference?" The world is as black as a crow! ”
Yang Gemo held the knife in his arms and muttered in a low voice: "But this guy is really different!" ’
……
"Woo Woo ......"
Little Yellow jumped happily and pulled firewood.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The old man's loud voice with a laugh came from the low wooden house.
Yang Ge straightened up, and saw the old man walking out wrapped in a straw coat, and his heart suddenly became a lot more steady.
The old man pulled open the firewood, and Xiao Huang rushed up with a smile on the ear of the plane, and kept circling around him, and his tail was round.
The old man opened his big hand and measured its waist, laughing and said, "It's fat again, it's enough to stew in a pot!" ”
"Woo Woo ......"
Xiao Huang ran with his legs pulled, and ran to the old place behind the courtyard gate like a gust of wind, and urinated when he raised his legs.
Yang Ge pulled the wheelbarrow into the yard and said with a smile: "Why are you scaring it if you have nothing to do?" ”
The old man made a tiger face: "You should be like everyone like you, don't think about finding your mother-in-law to have a baby, and get a dog to be your son...... Good dog, come and touch it with Daddy. ”
Yang Ge rolled his eyes, grabbed the sack on the wheelbarrow and entered the house: "Did you get off the net last night?" ”
Old man: "What's the matter, do you want to eat fish?" I'll take it (qiu)! ”
Yang Ge: "The shopkeeper brought you some mutton, let's stew a pot of fish and sheep at noon!" ”
Old man: "Ouch, thank you for the benevolence of Shopkeeper Liu......"
Yang Ge: "You stay steadfast, I'll go fishing, or that place, right?" ”
As soon as the old man heard that he was going, he immediately picked up the dog's head with peace of mind, and replied without raising his head: "Yes, return that place." ”
Yang Ge familiarly took out the bamboo basket from the firewood room and strode out of the door.
……
Two pounds of lamb chops.
Three large silver carp
Boil into a large pot of fresh fish and sheep.
The old man eats mutton.
Yange eats river fish.
Little Yellow gnaws bones.
The grandfather squatted outside the stove house, snorting and snorting.
Old man: "Hiccup." ”
Yango: "Hiccup. ”
Xiao Huang looked up, looked left and right, and opened his mouth: "Hiccup." ”
The old man's stomach was almost round, and he still held a big bowl of broth and did not let go, and reminisced with satisfaction leaning on the firewood stack: "I was comfortable, I tasted the taste of mutton last time, it seems that I was still a child for a few years, and Zhang Laoshabu and his father, Ma Dog and his grandfather, quietly stole the sheep of Wang Dahu's family, pulled it into the mountains and slaughtered it, and roasted it on the fire and ate it...... At that time, there was no seasoning, a mouthful of sheep smell, and I felt that it was the best food in the world, and I dried most of the sheep in one meal! ”
Yang Ge looked at the old man's stomach and reached out to grab his sea bowl: "You are always leisurely, you have eaten too much food!" ”
The old man refused to give it, but he couldn't resist him, so he just watched him pour the broth back into the pot.
Yang Ge looked at his child-like greedy expression and wanted to laugh: "I won't rob you, this pot is all yours, you can keep it for the evening or tomorrow to heat it up, and you can take care of it!" ”
The old man sighed and muttered something like "I don't even want to be a full ghost", but Yang Gequan didn't hear it.
After a while, the old man's attention shifted from the broth to Yang Ge: "How are you doing?" ”
Yang Ge instantly sounded the alarm: "That's, that's it." ”
The old man squinted at him: "Didn't you meet a woman with the right eye?" ”
Yang Ge couldn't hold back: "Let's not mention this, we can still have a good chat!" ”
I've crossed over, why can't I escape urging marriage?
The old man touched a fish bone as a toothpick out of nowhere, and comfortably picked a few sparse teeth: "Don't mention it now, keep it and wait for me to give you a dream?" ”
Yang Ge turned his head and looked him up and down, and said angrily: "With your old body, it is a trivial matter to live to be a hundred years old, don't always think about these things!" ”
The old man said casually: "Who can say for sure? When I reach this age, the days are rewarded by God, and one day God refuses to reward, and I may fall down with a butt, and die with a bang! ”
Yang Ge: "Don't say that, I still point to how filial you are for a few years and repay your life-saving grace!" ”
The old man shaved his teeth for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is it a year?" ”
Yang Ge was stunned, and nodded with some emotion: "It's been a year." ”
The old man smiled, and every wrinkle on his face was glowing with warm kindness: "Enough, it's time to plan for yourself......"
