Chen Bai'an suddenly rushed to the foot of the mountain, so that Zhuang Yu was a little confused, and Ai Xueyi smiled lightly, it seems so.

When he arrived at the private school, Ai Xueyi picked up the "Dao Fa Hui Yuan" and "Su Wen" from the bedside and handed them to Zhuang Yu; the young man hurriedly took them with both hands, but unexpectedly, he almost fell down, and slowly hugged him, much lighter.

Books are not heavy, but knowledge is too heavy.

Ai Xueyi nodded lightly, picked it up, read it naturally, and didn't get in the way if it was slow.

Chen Bai'an was very surprised, Jiang Man Wenjun was far away, he hated such learning, it was too big and too heavy, and when he got closer, his shoulders would be heavy, and it would be difficult to walk, so they had very little verbal communication with Ai Xueyi.

The day of the month is coming, close to the end of the year.

The city is obviously lively, and if you calculate the time, it will be a New Year in more than a month.

Several people in the private school are also restless, the New Year is not a trivial matter, there are not many things on the mountain, there is a shortage, but there is no money.

Li Jingsheng rarely showed up to say a few words to the students, and even allowed the children who had been holding back for more than half a year to go to the city under the mountain.

Chen Bai'an was the leader, Jiang Manwen Jun Ai Xueyi followed, and ran to the city as soon as possible.

Zhuang Yu, who was scalding rice wine, watched a few people run into his small courtyard, sat on the stool, and Chen Baian asked.

"Zhuang Yu, hurry, if there is anything delicious, take it out quickly and satisfy your cravings. ”

The young man's face was a little embarrassed, the little girl in black heard the movement outside, ran out, and hurriedly returned to the house to bring the breakfast snacks that Zhuang Yu usually sold her, and she was reluctant to eat them.

A packet of peanuts wrapped in oiled paper, most of the remainder, and some broken pumpkin cakes.

The little girl was dressed in black, not tall, her chin was just close to the table, and she was lying on the table on tiptoe with her hands, looking at the group that did not move. She laboriously untied the oil paper wrapped in peanuts with her arm, Meimei grabbed a handful, and handed it to Ai Xueyi, who thought it was the best.

The small hands are not big, and there are not many pinching.

"Taste it, it's all clean, I usually wash my hands. The little girl said sweetly, for fear that her brother's friends would dislike her.

Ai Xueyi hurriedly took it, without hesitation, he felt very uncomfortable, picked up a few peanuts, and put them in his mouth, it was not very crisp, and it looked like it had been a few days.

Chen Bai'an trembled in his heart, it was very unpleasant. I touched the little girl's head, picked up a peanut and fed it to her, and then picked up a few myself and put them in my mouth, which was a little dry and hard.

"Why, it's delicious, my brother bought it for twelve copper coins, it's delicious. Chen Bai'an looked at Ai Xueyi, shook his head slightly, and replied.

"Well, it's delicious and fragrant. ”

Chen Bai'an understands the meaning of Ai Xueyi, some people have some things, beautiful things, then it is worth keeping, don't pick and don't say anything, I hope the innocence is still there.

Jiang Man also grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth, but suddenly saw Chen Baian staring at him, and he was a little scared, the peanuts in his mouth were hard. He stubbornly said, "Not bad." The little girl laughed and was lively and innocent.

Zhuang Yu looked at Chen Bai'an Ai Xueyi and was grateful, the peanuts were a little hard, but the little girl was reluctant in every way.

The boy also scalded some more rice wine, a bowl of peanut cakes, and I didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and the two bags of snacks that the little girl took out ate cleanly.

"Zhuang Yu, aren't you making money? Why are you still like this?" Chen Bai'an walked into the house, the room was very clean, there were no good things, two beds and two wooden tables side by side, on the table were two books that the young man borrowed from Ai Xueyi, and the table was covered with two extra pieces of yellow paper, which were not stained with dust.

Next to the window were several pairs of cloth shoes, large and small, all old, most of them with holes. Chen Bai'an looked at Zhuang Yu again, he didn't pay too much attention when he just entered the door, and now he is wearing a pair of old cloth shoes with a lot of patches, it seems that every time he goes to the private school, he has to change his shoes first.

"Well, eight copper coins a day. The boy agreed from afar. Eight copper coins? Jiang Man Wenjun didn't believe it, Chen Bai'an pouted, she knew that the days under the mountain, there was no less life under the mountain, eight copper coins a day was indeed too little, it was enough to buy two bowls of the simplest Yangchun noodles, and two meals could not be full.

"Sister Chen, I, I...... I also earn money, you see I have a lot of money in my little box. The little girl also said.

One copper coin a day is very little, in Chen Bai'an's opinion. But there are also a lot, Ai Xueyi's opinion, a teenager like Zhuang Yu. What is lacking is not the amount of money, it is okay to be hungry for a few meals, but to ask for a place of peace of mind, a place to live, and to earn money to support yourself with your own hands, it is enough. Too much charity and compassion will make the teenager more preoccupied and tired.

On the contrary, now the boy feels very good, with hope, and a little girl, he has more strength in life.

The little girl was very proud, and showed the small money box to Jiang Man, Wenjun, Ai Xueyi and others, it was very sunny, because they didn't have their own money.

"Zhuang Yu, do you see any way, you can make some money, it's not far from the Chinese New Year, and there is a lack of things on the mountain......" Ai Xueyi said.

The young man thought for a long time and said: "I don't know how to sell couplets, you are knowledgeable, but I am afraid that people will look at us as small and not believe us." ”

"Alas, Zhuang Yu, Xiao Ke's neck is carved by you, can you, when will you give me one?" Chen Bai'an hugged the little girl and touched the round jade, the words were beady, very good.

"Okay, if you have time to make one for each of you, don't dislike it. ”

Chen Bai settled down, unhappy for no reason, hidden in his heart.

"How about we, then, write the couplet and engrave some words, and put it at the gate? Ai Xueyi suggested.

"It works. It's just how the raw materials come from, I don't have much money in my pocket......" The boy was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I came forward to borrow ten hangings from Li Lao, it's enough. ”

The young man's net worth is indeed not much, and he is already very saving, and he can only afford more than a dozen dollars.

At noon, it is rare for Zhuang Yu to be the owner, saying that Chen Baian and others came to study, and there was no one to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

Zhuang Yu took out a full twelve hangings from the box, and the remaining five hangings were not much, but they were enough.

It's rare to get off a restaurant, go up to the second floor, and five people are the same little girl. Zhuang Yu ordered three vegetarian and two meats, a lot, and specially explained that he used the sauerkraut he brought to make the fish and more soup.

Chen Bai'an was very curious about what good things the young man in front of him would have.

The little girl sat on a high stool, lying on the table and constantly looking at the other tables, a little greedy, this is the first time she may be so old to go down to the restaurant to eat, the young man saw her like this, he blamed himself a little.

After a long wait, the shopkeeper finally served the food, the first one was the stewed chicken that Zhuang Yu ordered, in winter, steaming, the best; Everyone couldn't wait for a long time, so Chen Baian shouted to eat first, ordered a few bowls of rice, and ate it.

Sure enough, I haven't eaten firewood, rice, oil and salt under the mountain for a long time, it is very delicious, and it is not a little more delicious than that made by Ai Xueyi, Chen Baian unceremoniously pulled off a chicken leg and handed it to the little girl, and the other entered his own seakou. Zhuang Yu only let Shi Xiaoke eat a chicken leg, and persuaded him to wait for the fish, not in a hurry. So, the whole chicken on the table was basically eaten clean by Jiang Man, Wenjun, and Chen Bai'an, with rice and a round belly.

Ai Xueyi ate some vegetarian dishes and accompanied Zhuang Yu to wait for the last fish.

Finally, the last pot of sauerkraut fish was served, stewed and steaming.

"Xiao Ke, Xueyi, it's our turn, get off the chopsticks. Zhuang Yu said mysteriously.

gave Shi Xiaoke a full bowl, afraid that there would be nothing later, and then he filled the soup and feasted on the sauerkraut and fish.

Ai Xueyi did the same, and then the three of them suddenly took a big bite and ate the whole pot of fish soup.

"It's so delicious, I still want to ......" The little girl's mouth was full, stretching her neck vigorously to look at the pot, Zhuang Yu hurriedly picked up the bowl and filled it with more fish and sauerkraut, the little girl's wolf mouth made a sound, and invited Xiao Er to ask for an extra bowl of rice.

"It's good, it's worth waiting a little longer. Ai Xueyi, who was very gentle, also puffed out his mouth and said to Zhuang Yu.

Chen Bai'an was a little curious, picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece, melted in his mouth, and slapped the table.

"Little Er, another bowl of rice. ”

When Zhuang Yuai Xueyi saw this, he put chopsticks into the pot faster.

"You two leave me some, I haven't eaten enough. Chen Bai'an was a little anxious, and he also feasted on chopsticks.

Jiang Man and Wenjun were a little curious, and they hurriedly tasted it, and sure enough, the soup was thick and delicious. Another slam on the table.

The shopkeeper was frightened.

With the thick and fresh fish soup, Chen Baian insisted on eating another bowl, too full, and from time to time he drank a sip, too greedy.

Jiang Man and Wenjun secretly ran the spells on the mountain, secretly refined the food in their stomachs, and ate two bowls of Meimei.

Chen Bai'an said secretly: Despicable, helpless, I only blame myself for not being the qi refining cultivator, and I can't do it.

"Zhuang Yu, did you mean it, you don't want to give me food...... the more Chen Bai'an thought about it, the more angry he became, and said to the young man and some little women.

"I said it, I'm waiting, you don't listen, no wonder I'm sorry. "The boy also ate three bowls beautifully, which was very fragrant.

Ai Xueyi touched his mouth after eating, it was indeed the most reassuring and beautiful time to come to the private school to study and eat, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

"It smells so good. ”

Chen Bai'an felt that Ai Xueyi was deliberately talking to himself, slapped the table again, filled a bowl of white soup, and left with the bowl. The rest of the table looked at each other.

There was only some soup left in the pot, and he couldn't see the sauerkraut and fish, Zhuang Yu didn't waste it, drank it leisurely, and finally the table was full of food, and there was nothing left.

The little girl in black patted her little belly and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fragrant." ”

Walking on the street, Chen Bai'an was far away, but he could hear it in his ears. Ai Xueyi also wrinkled his nose unconsciously, not knowing whether the little girl intended it or not......
