Chapter 182: Nongfu Spring
The next day, the sky was clear.
After Yang Ge's family of three had breakfast, he changed into coarse cloth clothes for rough work, jumped on the eaves with a hat, and carefully scraped off the bird droppings and moss on the tile surface with a knife.
The little maid of the Xie family, who was also sweeping the yard next door, looked up and saw him, waved her hand vigorously in surprise and shouted, "Little brother, when did you come back?" β
Yang Ge waved in response: "Just arrived last night." β
The little maid lied: "Is it too early? We're just too early. β
Yange: "Thanks, I've already eaten it." β
The little maid: "I just saw smoke coming from your chimney, I thought it was the eldest brother of the Liu family who came to clean up the house for you again." β
Yang Ge: "Haha, you are busy with you first, I will clean up the yard today, and at noon tomorrow, I will call your sister to come over for dinner together." β
The little maid agreed: "Okay, then I'll go over early tomorrow to help you?" β
Yang Ge replied with a smile: "That feeling is good." β
He lowered his head and continued to concentrate on cleaning up the eaves, clearing all the dead leaves and weeds deposited in the middle of the tiles little by little.
After cleaning up, he jumped back into the yard, picked up the bamboo branch broom and swept the dead leaves, weeds and moss cleaned up on the eaves, and then changed the brown broom inside and out of the entire yard broom twice, and finally it was not clean enough, put down the broom and walked into the stove house, carried out the half-height water tank, scooped out the water picked by Fang Ke last night with a gourd scoop, and carefully washed the whole courtyard again, until the stone slab of the courtyard revealed the original color of the bluestone, he put down the water scoop with satisfaction, and turned around to get the flat pole and bucket in the stove house.
But he walked to the door with the bucket and stopped......
He thought about it, put down his flat shoulder and strode towards the backyard, Xiao Huang saw this, wagged his tail and followed his pace.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Erhei, who had been dealing with him in the backyard for a night last night, shook his head and came up and rubbed him with his big head.
"You two stay away......"
Yang Ge pushed Er Hei and Xiao Huang away, and released a dark blue decanate water true qi that slowly seeped into the bottom of the abandoned vegetable patch, and he walked around while meditating on perception.
After walking around the vegetable field for a long time, he stopped in the northwest corner of the vegetable field to increase the output of true qi......
A moment later, he slashed at the mud beneath his feet with a knife in his hand.
The bright golden sword qi flashed away, and a gap a few inches long appeared in the mud.
Yang Ge stared at this gap, his five fingers opened, and a decanate water true qi spewed out from his palm and injected into this gap, and after a few breaths, he suddenly lifted it up, and a clear line of water sprayed out along the gap......
He dipped his fingers in a little spring water and put it in his mouth and tasted it...... Wow, it's a little sweet!
Farmer, mountain spring, and a little field!
Let's go!
He slapped his thigh beautifully: "Martial arts is really a good thing!" β
He walked briskly to the tool room to get the shovel, and with a sense of ceremony, he quenched a mouthful of spit on each hand, twisted his waist, and then the left shovel and the right shovel flew down......
When the spring water gushed out of the crevice, it was enough to reach the instep of his foot, and he had already dug a well in the same place that was one meter square and more than one person high.
He jumped up from the well, hummed "It's a good day", went to the corner of the wall to carry the bluestone strips left over from the previous demolition, and cut them into pieces of stone bricks that were smooth like polished stones.
He laid these stone bricks to the bottom of the well, leaving only the water hole, and then went up along the four walls of the well, layer by layer, and the wellhead was directly surrounded by four complete bluestone strips, only to be glutinous rice juice to be glued later.
"Let's work!"
He clapped his hands, admired his craftsmanship with great satisfaction, and proudly felt that if he could wear it back, he would be able to be an engineering team member by himself, and he would be able to make a fortune in three or five years!
"Well, I'm not afraid of meeting a black-hearted boss who doesn't pay after finishing his work!"
Yang Ge YY took a long time before he happily stroked the little yellow dog's head and beckoned to it: "Let's go, add vegetables at noon!" β
Erhei, who was napping in the wasteland in the distance, saw that he was leaving, and immediately got up again, opened his mouth to grab his sleeve.
Yang Ge dodged its fangs, hugged the horse's head with his backhand and rubbed wildly: "Stay honest, I'll come to build a horse barn for you in the afternoon......"
β¦β¦
A small second entrance to the hospital.
Yang Ge can always find a job.
Get water supply today, rebuild the toilet tomorrow, drain the water the day after tomorrow, and grow vegetables in the wilderness after tomorrow......
The small courtyard seems to be a world of its own.
Yang Ge stayed at home and enjoyed himself.
On the other side, the old shopkeeper who hadn't seen Yang Gelai Inn for the first time and Yang Gelai Inn for the second class couldn't sit still, and came to Chaimen Street on crutches, and as soon as he entered the door, he was dazzled by this greatly changed courtyard.
The old shopkeeper pointed to the tap water next to the room with a cane: "You have been busy with these things at home these days?" β
Yang Gele invited the old man to sit under the grape trellis: "That's right." β
The old shopkeeper wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he was relieved after a while: "That's good, let's still think, are you hiding from us?" β
Yang Ge went to the back room to get tea, and responded with a smile: "How can it? But it's true that I'm hiding from your goddaughter. β
The old man slapped his thigh: "We know that you are avoiding that girl...... What's the matter, are you going to be like your rich brother, and you won't get married until you are thirty years old? β
Yang Ge sat down with the old man: "That's a later story, to be honest, with your old eyesight, you really didn't see that your goddaughter was not right?" β
The old man nodded calmly: "I can see it!" β
Yang Ge was stunned: "Huh? β
The old man said slowly: "She said that her family was unable to escape the famine, but how can there be a daughter who escaped from the famine, and her fate is as iconic as her?" It's just that we encountered, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? As soon as we think about it, we know that she must be here for you. β
Yang Ge was even more confused: "Then you still put her in the inn?" β
The old man looked at him with "You're stupid", "What the hell do you care about her?" People are always real, right? Doesn't the old saying say that marrying a chicken is a chicken, and marrying a dog is a dog? As long as people enter the door of your old Yang family, won't they have to rely on you for anything in the future? They just want to fish, we eat their bait, just don't take the bait! β
The old man looked at the old man with dizzy eyes, but his heart was actually open.
Yang Ge couldn't cry or laugh: "You ...... It's gone bad! β
The old man smacked his cane and said with a slight annoyance: "What kind of nonsense is this!" β
Yang Ge thought for a while and said: "I know you are anxious for me, but some things are really not as cheap as you think, since people dare to bait, they are not afraid of us spitting out the hook......"
He paused, but decided to give the old man a thorough explanation: "That girl came out of the palace." β
If the old man really didn't know anything, and treated that Zhao Miao with enthusiasm, he really didn't want to say anything, for fear of hurting the old man's kind and warm heart.
Since he can see the old man clearly, he naturally has nothing to say.
The old man was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Which palace?" β
Yang Ge gently patted the old man's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, they only have these indiscriminate tricks for me now, but if they have other tricks, they won't be so shameless." β
The old man was still a little weak-hearted, and asked cautiously, "Palace maid?" β
Yang Ge groaned slightly, nodded and said, "It should be a palace maid." β
The old man breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, that's okay...... The palace maid is not a big deal, right? We heard that every year in the palace will put a group of elderly palace maids out of the palace and return to their hometowns, you can rest assured, let's secretly find Wang Matchmaker to go to see the girl, the person is still the daughter of Huanghua, enter the door of your old Yang family, and do not insult your ancestors. β
Yang Ge could hear that this old man was a little uneasy, and he still had some affection for Zhao Miao in his heart.
He couldn't help but sigh, he deserved to be a person from the palace, this method of pinching people's hearts is powerful, how long has it been since he got this old man......
He thought for a while and said: "This is not a matter of her entering my old Yang's house to humiliate or disgrace her ancestors, but the court wants to use this method to tie the rope to me, I want to really marry that girl, even if I sell it to the court in this life, in the future, the court will say, I have to go to the knife mountain, and I have to go to the sea of fire, don't you know, I just want to live a peaceful and idle life, I really don't have so many big ambitions...... In terms of being really suitable, the girl from the Gu family in Dongshi is more suitable than Zhao Miao. β
The old man slapped him lightly on the forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Now you know that someone is suitable?" It's late, everyone is a child now, and the second one is pregnant, let's tell you at the beginning, the daughter of the Gu family is a good child, you have to say that there is a fiancΓ©e in your hometown......"
Yang Ge's head was as big as a bucket and he hurriedly waved his hand to forgive: "I'll make an analogy, an analogy, I've just arrived home, you can let me stop for a few days!" β
The old man couldn't take his breath when he laughed, and Yang Ge hurriedly stepped forward and smoothed his chest for him, and he took a breath.
He waved his hand, signaling Yang Ge not to be nervous, and finally sighed heavily, and sighed: "In the end, it's old, it's useless, then in the first two years, you can still carry dozens of catties of pork on your back and walk ten miles in one go, I don't know what happened in the past two years, my body bones suddenly collapsed, and I had to gasp if I couldn't walk two miles empty-handed...... Your rich brother has been down-to-earth in the past two years, why don't we worry about it, it's you, always floating alone, he is not a thing, someone has a home. β
Maybe all the old people are the same, as long as the body bones begin to fail, they always want to take advantage of their own existence and quickly arrange the lifelong events of the younger generations......
Probably in their hearts, this is also their responsibility.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
Yang Ge smiled and output Aoki's true qi, and slowly combed the meridians around the old man: "You have done so many good things in your life, and you have helped so many people, and you are designated to live a long life, then Brother Fugui and sister-in-law are still counting on you to bring children to the two of them, where is this, you are talking about the old ...... Don't worry about you here, when I meet the right one, I will bring you the old kowtow. β
Under his combing, the old man slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, and the whole person was much more relaxed, and said seriously: "What is appropriate?" If you really want to choose, it is the fairy daughter of the sky who goes down to earth, you can also pick out one, two, three, four, almost got, we and your unblessed aunt, we didn't even meet back then and got engaged, until the day your aunt entered the door, we saw her for the first time, didn't you come over like this for a lifetime? β
Yang Ge saw that he never mentioned Zhao Miao again, and knew that the old man had listened to his previous words, and his heart was slightly relieved, and he smiled and admitted: "Mmmm β
When the old man heard that he was no longer full of refusal, his heart was much more relaxed: "Then it's done, let's ask Mrs. Wang to find it for you when we go back, and see which one has a suitable girl...... Okay, okay, if you don't like to listen, let's not talk about it, old people, I can't control you young people......"
When Yang Ge heard this, he hurriedly changed the topic: "That's right, what's the inn's business like these days?" Are there any strange people who come to the door to stay in the store? β
The old man was really confused by his smoke bomb, and replied: "We were just about to tell you this, and since the day you came back, there have been more Jianghu guests in the inn who dance guns and sticks and speak with foreign accents...... Nothing could go wrong, could it? β
Yang Ge: "There shouldn't be anything wrong, if there is really that kind of messy person, it is estimated that you will not be able to enter our inn...... Don't worry about this when you're old, I'll go to the inn tomorrow, with me, no one will make trouble. β
The old man looked him up and down suspiciously: "Can you suppress those Jianghu guests?" No, let's close the door for a while, we can't afford to provoke and hide. β
Yang Ge smiled hesitantly: "It's okay, you can leave it to me, and I promise that nothing will go wrong." β
When the old man saw that he was firm, he didn't worry about it, and leaned on the circle chair with his crutches in both hands: "What do you eat at noon?" It's been a few days since we've tasted your craft. β
Yang Ge stood up and rolled up his sleeves left and right: "It's a trivial matter, what do you want to eat?" β
The old man thought for a moment and said, "It's not too early, and there is no good meat in the meat market...... Look at what's at home. β
Yang Ge: "Cheng, you sit down, take a few sips of tea, it's okay for a while!" β
He strode into the stove house and put on his apron.
After a while, there was a "stinging" sound in the room, and the scorching and smelly smell of the onion, ginger and garlic pot filled the entire courtyard.
The old man twitched his nose, comfortably picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
When Yang Ge made three dishes and one soup, wiped his hands and came out to call the old man to eat, he heard a slight snoring before he got closer.
The warm sun of late April fell on the old man through the grape trellises, and strands of silver white hair fluttered gently in the sunlight.
Yang Ge slowed down his pace and looked at the old man who was shrunk into a ball on the chair, as if he had just realized that the old man had been very old in the past two years......
The years are unforgiving.
