Sun Fu's voice was full of astonishment, if it weren't for this wooden plaque hanging from time to time, he wouldn't have remembered Ji Yuan all of a sudden, after all, for this former strange man in Ning'an County, his appearance had long been blurred in his memory.

Hearing that Sun Fu could still call himself directly, Ji Yuan smiled at him, swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and said.

"Yes, it's Ji, Brother Sun still remembers me!"

Sun Fu wiped his hands with the rag on the cupboard and wiped his clothes again, and hurriedly walked out from behind the cupboard, looking at Ji Yuan in surprise and complexity.

"Mr. Ji, is it really you? I, I'll add some more marinade and chops for you, right?"

He took a closer look at the thing that Ji Yuan was about to go back to the cupboard, and Ji Yuan quickly stopped him.

"No, no, these are enough, these are enough, you are busy with yours first, if you are really not busy, just sit on the side and chat. ”

Ji Yuan pointed to the empty seat next to the table with chopsticks.

There will also be other diners who are more familiar with Sun Fu and ask curiously.

"Uncle Sun, who is this big gentleman?"

Sun Fu looked at the young man who was talking, and only replied after showing his recollection.

"This is Mr. Ji, your uncle Sun used to talk about it, and you said it several times when you came to our house!"

"I don't remember that......"

"How old are you, and what can you remember besides eating and playing?"

Sun Fu said a few words to the man, grabbed the rag in his hand and sat down slightly stiffly on the edge of Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan looked at him, still eating noodles slowly, pinching out some of the miscellaneous pieces from the other bowl into the noodle bowl, mixing braised pork and noodles together on chopsticks and sending them to his mouth, eating with relish.

"Sir, why haven't you come back after so many years?"

Ji Yuan held the chopsticks and arched his hand apologetically.

"There are a lot of things to do, and there are a lot of people who can't help themselves, thank you for worrying. ”

"Oh, yes, how can you come back when you want to be outside, my dad always talks about you when he is still there, and sometimes he asks me 'Mr. Ji' how long has it been since I come to the stall to eat noodles, I almost say that I haven't been here, and occasionally lie to him once and say that he just came to eat, uh, Mr. won't blame me, right?"

Ji Yuan nodded at him.

"How can it be, this statement was born because of filial piety, it is a great goodness, but the old grandson always remembers Ji, which makes me very moved!"

Sun Fu smiled.

"That is, my dad has been saying at home that you are not an ordinary person and that you must be treated well. ”

"Hehe, this old grandson...... What did he have to do when he died?"

Ji Yuan smiled and asked.

"Hey, my father's wish is for me and my eldest brother's son to be able to dance and write and learn articles, and to be admitted to the famous and famous officials, but we little people are this piece of material, the two boys went to school in school, but then they still can't read, what should I do, it's okay, I'm holding my granddaughter now." ”

Ji Yuan smiled again when he heard it, but he continued to eat noodles without speaking, and when the noodles were eaten up, he ate chops.

"Mr. Ji, I've heard people say before that you might not come back...... It's nice to meet you!"

Ji Yuan heard Sun Fu's voice, and it is estimated that someone once said that he might have died in a foreign country, and this kind of thing is not uncommon, so it is not surprising to think so.

"It's also good to eat Sun Kee's noodles and chops. ”

Ji Yuan said and put the last bite of chop in his mouth and chewed it carefully for a while before swallowing it, and then turned his head to look at Sun Fu, seeing that he was full of energy and did not show sorrow, he was obviously doing well, but he still asked.

"What are the difficulties at home? ”

Sun Fu waved his hand again and again.

"No, no, Mr. Ji, don't look at me still selling noodles here, but this is because I don't want our old grandson's craftsmanship to be lost, in fact, our family is living a good life, and we don't lack anything!"

In the end, he is also an outsider, Sun Fu did not say what the dog's head is gold, but it also shows that his family is rich enough.

Ji Yuan understood at a glance, the so-called poor and lowly families are in decline, this is too much to say, but there is some truth, after all, money can't solve everything, but it can indeed solve most things, and it is also effective in Ning'an County.

"Well, contentment is the only way to be happy. ”

Ji Yuan put the chopsticks at night, shook and loosened the sleeves that had been folded up because he was afraid of getting the soup, sat at the table and chatted with Sun Fu, and beckoned to the little girl, but the little girl was shy and hid behind the cupboard and didn't come.

"This kid, don't look like he's scared, but he's actually very strong, and like a little boy, I'm planning to send him to school!"

"Oh, now girls can go to school?"

Ji Yuan was a little surprised, you must know that in the past, although Dazhen did not explicitly stipulate in the law that girls could not go to school, this was almost an unwritten rule, and the social status of women was still lower, at least women were almost invisible in the school.

Even if it is the ladies of some large families, it is the private school at home that invites the master to teach literacy.

"Hey, I really didn't dare to think about it in the early years, but what kind of place is our Ning'an County, it is a good place for outstanding people, and there is such a big member of the dynasty as Yin Wenqu, one of the decrees he has implemented in recent years, there are women who can also study. ”

"Oh, that's a lot of resistance. ”

Sun Fu put away Ji Yuan's chopsticks in front of him.

"That's not clear, but Yin Wenqu's words are still very effective in our Ning'an County, at least if I bring out his identity, no one will disagree with me. ”

Ji Yuan smiled and stretched out his thumb.

"Nice, insightful. ”

After saying that, he also patted his trouser leg and stood up, and took out a few copper coins from his sleeve.

"The price hasn't changed, has it?"

"Hey, Mr. Ji, you have been away for so many years, and you have only come back to the county, this is what I invite you to eat, how can I ask for your money, put it away quickly!"

Sun Fu's attitude is very resolute, not a fake politeness.

Ji Yuan looked at him, and actually put the money away, nodded and said.

"Okay, Ji Mou will admit it, go home first, you can come to Ju'an Xiaoge to find me if you have something, well, anything can be done. ”

After saying this, Ji Yuan left his seat, strode into the gate of Tianniufang, and walked in the direction of Ju'an Xiaoge.

When the people left, the topic of the other diners at the noodle stall who had finished eating and deliberately did not leave became heated again.

"Uncle Sun, who is Mr. Ji? You always say that Mr. Ji is very famous?"

"That's right, Boss Sun, looking at this person's age, it shouldn't be too old, how can I listen to your words and feel like ......"

The people who spoke couldn't describe the feeling, as if Sun Fu, who had obviously become a grandfather, was talking to his father.

Sun Fu watched Ji Yuan's back disappear from sight, and then approached the tables and whispered.

"You guys, what do you know! This is Mr. Ji Yuan, ten or twenty years ago in our county was famous, go back and ask your fathers, it's best to ask your grandparents, you can remember something!"

"Ten or twenty years?"

"This man is so old!?"

Sun Fu pressed his hand and made several people shut down and continued.

"This person, it was rumored that he was a strange person back then, and the previous county magistrate and county lieutenant were all respectful to him, by the way, Yin Wenqu, you always know, right?"

"I know!" "Look at what you said Uncle Sun, Yin Wenqu, how can we not know!"

"Well, Yin Wenqu's hometown was in Tianniufang back then, and Mr. Ji was the best neighbor, when he was still the master of the county school, he would go to Ju'an Xiaoge almost every day, and he had a deep friendship with Mr. Ji!"

"Oh!" "That's right!" "I see!"

The diners on the side were amazed, and their expressions also made Sun Fu very satisfied, and the little girl also "giggled" when she saw the exaggerated look on their faces.

Ji Yuan returned to the long-lost Ju'an Pavilion, and few people he met along the way recognized him, so when he arrived at the door of the Pavilion, he found the key to unlock and push the door in.

"Squeak~", a layer of ash fell on the door frame, but all of this ash was swept around Ji Yuan, and even if it fell on his shoulder, it immediately slid off.

"Uh......h Woo......"

There was a breeze blowing in the courtyard, and the branches and leaves of the jujube trees swayed, making a light sound.

"Rustle...... Rustle rustle ......"

Sniffed, perhaps because of the presence of jujube trees, the smell of the home is very fresh.

"Thank you!"

Ji Yuan knew that he couldn't live in Ning'an County now, at least he might not stay long when he came back this time, and his home was all watched by the jujube tree, even if there wasn't much to steal here, but after all, it was home.

The doors of the house were all opened to breathe, this time Ji Yuan did not stingy with spells, and directly waved his hand to bring a gust of wind to sweep away the indoor dust, so that the home was clean and tidy.

When he looked at the kitchen again, Ji Yuan couldn't help patting his forehead.

"Oops, it's all wasted!"

The small jar of honey in the kitchen is naturally no longer what it used to be after ten years, but Ji Yuan opened the jar and looked closely, only to find that a layer of crystals had condensed at the bottom, and a layer of wax on the surface was slightly scraped off, and a trace of refreshing sweetness could be smelled.

"Looks like you can still eat it?"

At this time, the paper crane directly squeezed out the bag, flew out of Ji Yuan's arms, and kept circling around the jujube tree, and the jujube tree in the courtyard was "......rustling" shaking its branches and leaves, as if it was also greeting the paper crane.

Ji Yuan came out of the kitchen, in addition to planning to fetch water, he also took out the "Sword Intent Post" and put it in the courtyard.

The next moment, the scroll opened automatically, and the sound of chirping on it suddenly came out.

"Oh! Ju'an Xiaoge!" "Yes, yes, I'm back in Ning'an County!"

"Ahhh......h It's finally going to be Ning'an County!"

"The jujube tree still can't speak?" "Stupid, the jujube tree is a tree, and it wants to condense elves!"

"Shh....... there's a lot of mortals all around here, let's be quiet!"

"Yes, yes, whisper......"

A group of small characters lowered their voices, and after a conversation, they jumped out of the "Sword Intent" one by one.

The branches and leaves of the jujube trees in the courtyard were quiet, obviously startled by this group of small characters.
