Chapter 33: Joy Descends from Heaven
Out of the street, and through a similar bluestone street, is the market. Shen Yun saw a wooden archway standing at the door, and there was also a horizontal plaque hanging on it, with three big black characters written on it: "Dong'an Ji". There are many shops behind the archway.
At this time, the market is full of people. The doors of the shops have been opened, and the streets are more than five feet wide and lined with all kinds of small stalls. There are also people carrying burdens or carrying wooden boxes two feet square on their backs and hawking as they walk through the streets.
"Steamed buns, steamed buns!"
"Fragrant pancakes!"
"Whissorsβ"
For a while, Shen Yun was in a trance, as if he had returned to the moment when he first entered the city. However, the market in front of you is bigger and livelier than the one behind the city gate, and most of the shops look brighter.
Also, it wasn't the ninth sister who went to the market with him.
When he came back to his senses, Shen Yun completely lost his interest in watching the excitement, and silently pulled one of the corners of Lao Liu's clothes - there were too many people, and he was afraid that he would accidentally get lost. It's not that I'm worried that I'm lost with Grandpa Liu and can't go home. When he came out, he deliberately memorized the way, and even if he was separated, he could find his way home. However, in that case, Grandpa Liu will definitely be in a hurry.
The latter thought he was afraid of life, touched his head, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, we will only go to the front today to cut some meat and make some old vinegar." Soon I will be able to go home. β
"Hmm. Shen Yun gathered his head, raised his head, and smiled at him, meaning that he was not afraid.
Lao Liu took Shen Yun out, mainly to let Shen Yun recognize the way, and also to let acquaintances meet Shen Yun. Therefore, he didn't hang out, and first went directly to Luoda's pork stall.
"Uncle Liu, cut the meat?" Luo Da saw Lao Liu Tou coming over, and greeted him warmly from afar.
Lao Liu nodded, walked over to look at the two big pork fans on the stall, and said to Shen Yun: "The owner likes to eat pork belly, stewed soft with skin, mixed with the noodle sauce at home. β
Luo Da understood. The big-eyed little doll in front of him is Uncle Liu's successor. Also, Uncle Liu is old and should have rested a long time ago.
He grinned and said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, the old customer for more than ten years, I am thinking about love." In the future, this little brother will also cut meat like you, no different. β
Uncle Liu thanked him again and again, and introduced Shen Yun to Luo Da: "The distant nephew and grandson of my hometown is called Shen Yun. After that, he ran errands for me. β
"Uncle Luo is good. Shen Yun took the initiative to step forward and make a gesture.
Luo Dale was happy: "This doll ...... It is worthy of being raised by you, Uncle Liu. As he spoke, he took out a lotus leaf wrapped in two big stick bones, and forced it to Shen Yun, "Take it back and cook the soup and drink it." β
Shen Yun looked at Old Liu. The latter smiled: "I don't thank you Uncle Luo yet." β
Shen Yun thanked him and took the lotus leaf bag with both hands.
Lao Liu Tou cut two catties of pork belly as usual. Shen Yun saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
Before leaving, he thanked Luo Dadao again.
"Next time. Luo laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.
After walking for more than twenty steps, Lao Liu Tou suddenly said: "Luo Da is a pariah. The owner of the gym is a nostalgic person, and when he took over the gym from the old lady, he promoted me to a new level. I told Luo Da, you are my nephew. If you salute him, he'll be so happy he doesn't even know what his last name is. β
Shen Yun's eyes widened. He understood what Lao Liu Tou meant: first, Lao Liu Tou gave him the title of nephew and grandson, and second, Lao Liu Tou was a good citizen.
Could I be a good citizen? Thinking of this, he only felt his heart beating like a drum.
Old Liu Tou stopped: "Yunwa, the difference between good and cheap is like the difference between cloud and mud." It is difficult for good citizens to enter, and the owner of the gym is also working hard, and he can't use the connections of the Shaoquan gym. The owner of the museum is as kind to you as a mountain. In the future, you will be loyal to the owner. β
Shen Yun's promotion, Lao Liu Tou only learned about it from the hall owner yesterday.
The owner of the museum said that he had been thinking about it for a long time.
Since he is ready to take in Shen Yun, according to the regulations of the Immortal Mansion, Shen Yun must be naturalized.
His plan was to let Shen Yun follow Fu Lei in the future. And Fu Lei is not good at business, Shen Yun is smart, and he is simple, and he is rare at a young age with a calm temperament and can do things. The only fly in the ointment is that the qualifications are not good. He is ready to let Shen Yun engage in business, so that he can help Fu Lei supplement the livelihood of the boxing gym in the future. Sitting on the mountain and eating empty, the gym can't be empty like this, and it has to come up with a new way.
With the identity of a good citizen, it is much more convenient for Shen Yun to walk outside. Therefore, when he naturalized Shen Yun, he simply chose the good citizen nationality.
Don't look at Shixiu County, there are strict barriers between good and low. He is the owner of a gym, and the Liu Family Boxing Gym has been operating in the county for more than 100 years, and he has some connections. If you can't do more, Shen Yun will solve the good citizenship alone, for him, it is a matter of breaking money. Fortunately, he can barely get this money.
"With a good citizen status, in the future, Yunwa will give you a pension for the elderly, and it will also be justified. "Finally, the hall master said again.
Lao Liu Tou thought that he would be lonely until he died, but he didn't expect that when it came to an end, he would still have such a reward. Hearing this, he burst into tears, and insisted on kowtowing to the hall owner: "I will definitely train Yunwa well." β
So, he took advantage of Luo Da's incident to deliberately beat Shen Yun.
It's true! Shen Yun nodded excitedly like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, yes." "I didn't expect the owner to do this for himself, he really didn't know how to thank him. He followed Lao Liu Tou for several steps, and he finally held back a sentence, "Grandpa Liu, I will be loyal." β
Old Liu Tou touched his head again: "I know that you are a good baby who knows how to repay kindness and attaches great importance to love." Your father and mother, as well as your ninth sister, taught you well. I believe in you. The hall master, as well as your brother Fu, also believe in you. "As the old saying goes, three years old is big, seven years old is old. The owner of the hall must also take a fancy to Yunwa's temperament, so he is willing to give Yunwa this chance to settle down.
Then, Lao Liu Tou took Shen Yun to a store called "Xinfengyuan Grocery Store" to get a bottle of aged vinegar, and told Shen Yun that the rice, salt, vinegar, pancreatic soap and other daily necessities used in the boxing gym were bought in this shop. Just like in Luo Da, he also introduced Shen Yun to Shopkeeper Liu as a distant nephew.
When Shen Yun stepped forward to salute, Shopkeeper Liu humbly hurriedly sideways to avoid it, grabbed a handful of saltwater peanuts from a blue and white porcelain jar on the counter and put them into Shen Yun's bamboo basket: "Newly harvested peanuts, give Brother Yun a taste." β
It seems that Shopkeeper Liu is also a pariah. Seeing that Lao Liu had no objection, Shen Yun accepted the peanuts and thanked him: "Thank you Liu shopkeeper." β
The boxing gym in Xinfengyuan grocery store is bookkeeping. At the end of the month, Shopkeeper Liu will send his buddies to the gym to settle the account. Therefore, Lao Liu Tou did not pay, but only signed his name on the account book brought by the shopkeeper Liu. After returning the pen to Shopkeeper Liu, he instructed Shen Yun: "In the future, when you come over, you will sign your own name." β
"Yes. Shen Yun took a deep breath. If you don't pay for something, you can keep an account...... This is in Niutouao Village, which is the treatment only the patriarch's grandfather. Half a year ago, his current life is something he never dreamed of. In his heart, he once again realized that he was really no longer Shen Qiubao, the mountain baby of Niutouao Village.
Shopkeeper Liu personally sent the two of them out: "Uncle Liu, go slowly." He bowed his head to Shen Yun again, "Brother Yun, please take care of me in the future." β
Shen Yun's face immediately turned red. Shopkeeper Liu is as old as his father, but his attitude towards him is so humble. This made him once again realize the superiority and inferiority between the good and the low.
"That's the way of the world. Untouchables are like mud on the ground, trampled on everywhere, often disasters fall from the sky, and families are ruined and people don't know what is going on. On the way home, Lao Liu Tou sighed with emotion.
Yunwa was lucky and met the owner of the museum. Otherwise, the little baby has no relatives, and he doesn't know how many days he can survive in this Shixiu County! After a few months of getting along, he saw that the little guy was smart and strong. If you say something similar, you can mention a sentence or two once in a while, but if you say too much, it is not beautiful.
Shen Yun followed behind, tilting his head slightly, trying to hold back his tears.
He felt the same way. Because he still doesn't know why hundreds of people in Niutouao Village were slaughtered. The immortal rune soldiers killed all the people, burned the village again, and left. From the beginning to the end, there was not a word of why!
Now, I'm different. I am a good citizen. The Immortal Rune Soldier can no longer take my life for no reason. But I can't spare the animals. When I learn my skills, I must find those gangsters and avenge my grandmother, my father, and everyone in the village!
He secretly clenched his fists, his fingertips white.
At lunchtime, Lao Liu Tou gave him a small half bowl of soft stewed pork belly, pointed to the small pottery plate with noodle sauce on the table, and said with a smile: "With this sauce, you can eat it hot." β
Shen Yun didn't expect that he could eat so much meat, and he couldn't react for a while. The days of the gym are not easy. You can only eat meat three times a month. In the past, every time he ate meat, Lao Liu Tou only put a piece of meat half a palm-sized piece on his rice bowl.
"Eat fast. Upgrading is a great joy, and we are happy to eat big meat. Lao Liu Tou picked up his rice bowl, smacked his mouth, and looked nostalgic, "When I was promoted, in addition to meat, I also killed two chickens and bought a big herring. β
It turned out that Grandpa Liu deliberately cut meat today to celebrate my promotion. Shen Yun only felt that his eyes were so hot. He hurriedly sandwiched a large piece of meat and sent it into Lao Liutou's bowl: "Grandpa Liu, the meat is fragrant." You eat. β
"You baby...... Hey, let's eat together. Old Liu Tou knew that he didn't eat alone, so he took this piece of meat.
After lunch, Fu Lei came over and gave Shen Yun a brand-new brush and half-knife paper to congratulate him on his promotion.
That night, Shen Yun hid in the quilt with paper and pen and cried profusely. Joy falls from the sky, if grandma, father, and ninth sister are all here, how good it would be.
