15 Chapter 15
Yu Nian smiled: "No, I want to say that the room is too messy, I sorted out some of the medicinal materials, and the others are still very messy, while the weather is cold now, there is nothing else to do, tidy up, it is also very convenient for you to take things." ”
Tian Yao breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a while: "Okay, then start cleaning up tomorrow." ”
The room where the sundries were stacked used to be Tian Yao's room, after the death of Daddy and Daddy, he moved into their original room, the one he lived in was originally a temporary stack of miscellaneous items, Daddy had planned to set up another house to put those things in a while, but before he could do so, they left.
Later, the herbs that Tian Yao picked back, and what rare things were put into this room, and then they piled up more and more, and he didn't have much heart to tidy them up, and then Yu Nian mentioned it, and he also wanted to tidy up the things left by his father.
Early the next morning, Tian Yao and Yu Nian got up early, there was no snow today, but the snow was colder, so they put a charcoal basin in the storage room, and the ash moved with the charcoal basin, where the charcoal basin was.
The room was not too damp, Tian Yao pushed Yu Nian to the door, the room was indeed full, he first handed the outermost medicinal herbs to Yu Nian's body, Yu Nian looked at the messy sun-dried herbs inside, and asked him, "Do you know what the effect of these herbs is?" ”
Tian Yao shook his head: "I don't know, I knew when I didn't dry it, but I didn't know when I dried it." ”
"I also found it according to Daddy's booklet?"
Tian Yao snorted: "He was afraid that I would not be able to live alone, so he drew a lot of pictures for me at the end." ”
Yu began to classify his herbs, and Tian Yao continued to see what else was in the room.
In the room there were still skins that Daddy had hunted before, stacked neatly, and there were still three or four left, one that he had sold before.
In one corner of the room, there was a box, and Tian Yao couldn't remember what was in it.
He moved the box to the floor of the room, squatted and opened it, the box was already covered with a layer of dust, and Tian Yao remembered in a trance that this box seemed to be a little daddy's, but they never seemed to have opened it.
Tian Yao opened the box, and it was full of pamphlets, I don't know when my little dad drew it, the paper album was already a little yellowed, and it looked like it had been many years.
Yu Nian also came to his side, Tian Yao showed him one of the volumes, Yu Nian looked at the strange things on it, which could barely be called words, and he was also confused: "This is?" ”
"It's like Daddy's Codex." Tian Yao simply sat down on the ground and looked at it, he remembered that his little father seemed to have taught him when he was young, but now he had forgotten it all.
"If only I hadn't been so playful when I was a kid." Tian Yao didn't know these words anymore, only the remaining memories could remember a little.
"What kind of person is your little daddy?" Yu Nian asked him.
Tian Yao held the booklet in his arms and recalled: "He has always been very gentle, but sometimes he will say some strange things, especially in the month after my father's death, he told me a lot, but I forgot it." ”
He looked at Yu Nian: "Can't you understand it too?" ”
Yu Nian shook his head: "I'm sure that this is not Da Yue's writing. ”
"Then this should be something very important for Little Daddy." Tian Yao put down his hand, there were many similar codexes, all of which were written with this kind of strange characters, and Tian Yao put them all aside.
I flipped over the box again, and there was a bracelet made of animal teeth in it, a small one, Tian Yao held it in his hand, a small string: "This should be something I used to do when I was a child." ”
Flipped to a silver lock: "This should be mine too." ”
The small box contained Tian Yao's happy childhood, and he and Yu Nian watched it for a long time before they finished reading these things.
Finally, Tian Yao touched a small purse, the purse was heavy, Tian Yao opened the seal, and there was a handful of seeds inside.
He didn't expect Yu Nian to recognize what kind of seed it was, after all, Yu Nian was not a farmer before, and asking him was tantamount to asking in vain.
"Yu Nian, when spring begins, I'll plant all these seeds, right? It's planted in our garden. ”
Yu Nian nodded: "Okay." ”
Later, there was nothing to stumble their time, Tian Yao turned the animal skin over again, planning to take it out to dry when there was a sun, and the medicinal herbs were classified by Yu Nian, and they were also marked.
Tian Yao picked a lot of medicinal materials, and the quality is very good, if you sell it to the pharmacy, it can be regarded as a lot of income.
Little Daddy's box was wiped clean by Tian Yao and moved back to their room, he wanted to try again to see if he could remember what these words meant, this Yu Nian was really powerless.
Looking at the neat room, Tian Yao patted the ash on his body: "Okay!" ”
He pushed Yu Nian back into the room, holding the bag of seeds in his hand, he sorted the same ones, and then asked Yu Nian, "Can this really grow things?" ”
"I don't know, try it."
Tian Yao nodded: "Let's go and pick up a few chickens in the spring, shall we?" ”
"Okay."
"Let's go to the town to buy New Year's goods in two days, shall we? I also want to buy blessing words, Spring Festival couplets. Tian Yao looked at him before speaking, "Do you know how to write?" ”
Looking at Yu Nian's appearance of Wen Zou Zou, he should be able to hold the pen, right?
"Just buy red paper, I'll write."
Tian Yao's eyes lit up: "Are you very good at writing?" ”
"Yes."
"Then we can write Spring Festival couplets for the people in the village, a pair of pennies or two."
In the past, the Spring Festival couplets in Huailing Village, either bought in the town, or Tian Wen went back to the village to set up a stall to write, Tian Yao went to see it, and the writing was not very good, and it cost three cents for a pair.
After thinking about it, he was afraid that Yu Nian would have the literati style that Tian Wen said, and felt that it was an unspeakable thing to exchange his talents for money: "If you don't want to, let's just write it for our own family." ”
"It's okay, I can write." Yu Nian smiled at him, "There's no reason why you have to bear the expenses of the family, it's good that I can do what I can to earn some money." ”
Tian Yao laughed at this time.
The day of the New Year is getting closer, it has been snowing for several days, and today it is rare to have a sunny day, Tian Yao wrapped the two of them thickly, and went to the town with the ox cart of the village chief's family.
After arriving in the town, Tian Yao moved Yu Nian's wheelchair off and pushed him behind him, because the Chinese New Year was approaching, so the streets in the town were very lively, and the street vendors were talking louder.
Tian Yao's body leaned forward slightly: "Yu Nian, what are we going to buy?" ”
"Don't you have something you want to buy?" Yu Nian has never been in charge of the New Year's goods needed by the family for the New Year, and he has no experience, the new clothes have been made a long time ago, and they are still sewn with the help of Aunt Shun, and Yu Nian and Tian Yao have a set.
They don't want to make it complicated for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they just want to eat what they want, so they want to eat the pot that Yu Nian likes very much, Tian Yao thought about it, on Chinese New Year's Eve, two people around the steaming pot, it seems to be good.
"Yu Nian, but I've heard that dumplings are made in the New Year." He pushed Yu Nian, and everyone who came to him would stop their eyes on Yu Nian's body, more precisely, to look at the wheelchair under him.
"Will you pack?" Yu Nian asked him with a smile.
Tian Yao shook his head: "Little daddy didn't teach me, and he didn't even draw a booklet for me." ”
"Then no."
They didn't come to buy things with any special purpose, so they had to look at everything new on the street, and they bought a little bit of what Yu Nian was interested in.
Finally walked to the Wenmo Museum in the town, Tian Yao had something he wanted to buy for Yu Nian, pen and ink.
Tian Yao sometimes sees Yu Nian holding a booklet, writing and drawing on it with his fingertips, if there is pen and ink, he should be able to write what he wants to write, but in this world, pen and ink are the most precious things, he remembers Tian Liu's family, buying pen, ink, paper, inkstone for Tian Wen every year, and the bundle for the school is a big expense.
Tian Yao held the purse and pushed Yu Nian in. The shopkeeper first glanced at Tian Yao, and knew that he was a brother who had nothing to eat, but the one he was pushing was different, and at first glance, he was full of poetry and books, so he immediately smiled.
"What do you two want to see?"
Tian Yao didn't understand, if it weren't for Yu Nian, he might not be able to walk into this store in his life.
"Buy some pen and ink for my husband." Tian Yao saw that Yu Nian didn't speak, so he told the shopkeeper.
"I have a lot of kinds of pens here, purple hair, sheep hair, more expensive ones and wolf hair, etc., do you think you need which one?"
Now Tian Yao really doesn't understand, so he can only look at Yu Nian.
Yu Nian patted his hand gently: "Just ask for the cheapest." ”
The smile on the shopkeeper's face faded a lot, and he said perfunctorily: "That, the cheapest pig, five cents a piece." The cheapest ink, thirty wen one. ”
Tian Yao counted with his fingers, and then said, "Can we buy more cheaper?" ”
The shopkeeper was a little incredulous: "This is already the lowest price, you even want me to reduce the price, how much do you want to buy?" ”
"Buy five of the cheapest pens, and then ask for a wolf pen with two square inks, and then a knife of paper."
"Give me half a tael of silver in total." The shopkeeper did not want to entangle with him.
Tian Yao still felt that it was a little expensive, so he said, "Then you can give me a few more pens." ”
Yu Nian just patted his hand gently: "Brother Yao'er......"
In the end, at Tian Yao's insistence, they spent 500 Wen to buy a wolf pen, eight pig hao pens, a local ink, and the shopkeeper gave him a wooden paperweight, which is not exquisite, and there are some scratches on it, which should be carved by practice, and it can't be sold anyway, so the shopkeeper will give it to him.
"Who should I be? Even bargaining in this bookstore, don't you think that the philistine spirit in your body will pollute the aroma of the books in this store? ”
Tian Yao put the pen and ink on Yu Nian's lap, and turned his head to look at Tian Wen standing at the door of the store: "What kind of bullshit are you putting on!" ”
