New year's Eve, early in the morning, people began to get busy.
Xu Daniu took the couplet in his hand and asked Xu Wu: "boss, what's this writing about?" It's a beautiful word. But Xu Daniu didn't know what to write.
Xu Wu can't understand it, but he can't say it. Otherwise, there is still the boss's prestige: "hurry to post it. What's the matter with so many words! I have to paste the door god to paste this couplet! "
Xu Daniu honestly pasted the couplet, and then picked up the door god to paste it. There will be another saying: "boss, I heard that the door god was painted by his wife?" Yuxi didn't prepare to draw the door god himself at the beginning. He asked people to buy it. Yuxi, who can be bought back, is not satisfied. It's not that other people's painting is not good, it's Yuxi's demanding. It's just that she can draw herself. It's difficult for her to draw landscape paintings, but it's still difficult to draw a door god. Yun Qing didn't allow her to work too hard, so he only drew two door gods on the gate.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "well, it was painted by my wife."
Xu Daniu pasted the door god and asked, "you say, what else is not the wife?" It seems that no lady will do anything.
Xu Wu didn't know, so he said with a smile: "listen to the old lady in the mansion, my wife began to learn from her husband when she was four years old! And it is said that his wife studies very hard. She gets up before dawn every day and goes to bed at the end of the year. "
Xu Daniu said, "my dear, I don't know. I thought my wife was the number one scholar in the exam." It's estimated that he will be more serious than the top one in the exam.
Xu Wu glanced at Xu Daniu and said, "do you think this skill comes from nothing? Like you, it's like killing you to let you recognize a few words? " Yuxi also wanted to let the guards in the mansion read before, but the resistance was very serious. Xu Daniu even sent out a word to let him read, but he didn't kill him. When Yuxi heard this, he didn't force him to take the principle of voluntariness. As a result, none of the more than 20 guards persisted. For this reason, Xu Wu felt very ashamed. So I'm very angry with the culprit Xu Daniu.
Xu Daniu was not ashamed, and said: "boss, it's not that I don't want to learn, it's that I can't learn! I've been learning this for a long time, but I still don't know it! " As soon as he remembered it, he forgot it. It's just like a donkey pulling a mill. It's hard to play around all the time.
Xu Wu is too lazy to talk any more.
Chinese New Year's Eve, which focuses on the evening dinner. Dumplings are essential for new year's Eve dinner in the evening. There are too many dumplings in the mansion, so after lunch, people begin to make dumplings.
Corydalis looked at Yuxi put a boiled copper plate into the dumpling and said with a smile, "madam, you didn't make a mark?" It's not marked. It's mixed in. I don't know which one put the copper plate at that time!
Yuxi said, "what's the mark?" This dumpling can't be finished in one meal. We should keep some until tomorrow. It means that we have more than enough every year. Anyway, the dumplings she made were eaten by the couple, either Yunqing or she.
After making dumplings, corydalis suddenly said, "madam, do you want to send some dumplings to Jingbai?" Corydalis likes Jingbai.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "no, Jingbai definitely prefers the dumplings made by her mother." Even if they did not expect enough, but the meaning of the dumplings made by my mother is not the same.
After listening to this, corydalis felt very reasonable: "madam, that child is really good, very smart, and can endure hardships. Madam, I want to take her as an apprentice. What do you think? "
Hearing this, mother Qu asked, "is that Jingbai a girl?" See Corydalis nodded, Qu mother muttered: "listen to the name still think it is a boy?"
"The name does sound like a boy's name, but the child is really good. I like her very much," she said with a smile
Yuxi said, "wait for a while." First observe the character of these children, if the character is good, she does not object to Corydalis apprenticeship.
Corydalis nodded.
Yuxi turned to corydalis and said, "I remember there was a child named Lubai in class C. his parents were gone, and there was only a brother two years older than him in the family. Where can two and a half year old children make dumplings? You can send two kilograms of dumplings later! " According to the age of the class, a, B, C, D were ranked down.
According to Yuxi's request, Hao Dazhuang sent the list of excellent children in the school. Hao Dazhuang has been working under Yuxi for so long, and he knows Yuxi's temperament. So on the list, each child's background information is written. Yuxi was particularly impressed by the child named Lubai, because it was written that Lubai lived in a shack. Yuxi died in the shack in his last life, so he was very sensitive to this.
Corydalis nodded and said, "yes, I'll go later." After a pause, corydalis said, "the general is really busy on New Year's Eve." Yun Qing went to the barracks with his breakfast, but he hasn't come back yet.
Yuxi side dumpling side said with a smile: "will come back." Although the new year is over, we can't leave the soldiers in the barracks behind. So when Yunqing left, he told her to eat in the Barracks at noon, and Yuxi didn't have any problem. As long as he came back to eat new year's Eve dinner in the evening, it would be OK.
Corydalis turned her lips and stopped talking.
Half an hour later, corydalis found the place where Lubai lived. Looking at the low shed built by some branches and straw in front of her, the nose of Corydalis was sour. Looking at the shed, she couldn't help but think of the time when she was at home. Corydalis also lived in the shed, but the shed she lived in was built with wooden beams, and the mud embryo she forced was also used, which was much better than the one Lubai lived in. After taking a breath, the Corydalis yelled, "Lubai, is Lubai there?"
Lu Bai came out from the inside and was so happy to see Corydalis: "sister Corydalis, why are you here?" Then he called into the room: "brother, sister Corydalis has come to see us."
When Lu Zhu heard this, he rolled his eyes. What does it mean to look at us? Is to see you! But with this cry, he didn't want to go out. When he saw the Corydalis, he said with a smile: "the room is relatively simple. If you don't like it, please come in and have a seat!"
The Corydalis said with a smile, "there's nothing to dislike." After walking, I went in.
As soon as she walked away, corydalis looked at the shabby bed made of wood. There was a patched quilt on the bed. There are some cabbages and a gray bag at the end of the bed. A small stove was built close to the door. A pot with a big hole was put on the stove. Next to the stove were two wooden bowls and chopsticks.
Lu Bai was a little embarrassed and said, "sister Corydalis, please sit on the bed."
Corydalis said with a smile, "I have something else to do, so I don't have to sit down. My wife knows that there are only two brothers in your family. Thinking that you are too young to make dumplings, she asked me to send them to you Compared with Jingbai, these two children are more difficult. I'm really on the verge of life and death.
After hearing this, Lubai was very surprised and said, "brother, we can have dumplings filled with meat tonight." Lu Bai would say this because just now Lu Zhu told him that when he made money, the two brothers would have a good meal of dumplings filled with meat.
Lu Zhu blushed and said to the Corydalis, "I let you see the joke."
Corydalis said with a smile, "what's the point. When I was a child, I was also greedy for big meat dumplings. However, this dumpling is not filled with pork, it's filled with mutton. It tastes very good. Your brother can have a big meal tonight. "
Lu Zhu stopped Lu Bai and said to the Corydalis, "tell the lady for us. Our brothers thank her for her kindness. We will... "
Corydalis waved her hand and interrupted Lu Zhu's words. She didn't let him go on: "madam, I don't want your reward for helping you. My wife often tells us that she just wants to help those in need. So don't say such polite words again in the future. "
With these words, corydalis put her things down and said, "if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Yunfu to find me. If I'm not here, you can also find a person named Yu Zhi. "
The two brothers sent the Corydalis away, went back to the shed and opened the bag. Lubai was very happy. In addition to dumplings, there are melon seeds, peanuts, candy and cakes.
Lu Bai took a piece of sugar and nodded after eating it: "it's very sweet."
Lu Zhu divided the things given by Corydalis into three parts, left one at home, and gave the other two to others. The two families have helped them a lot. If it had not been for the help of the two families, their brother would have been frozen to death and starved to death.
Corydalis walked halfway, suddenly remembered how she forgot to give two children red envelopes! Send money lady will say she, but give two children lucky money is certainly won't say. So the Corydalis came back. It was also the turn back this time to let her know that the two children had sent out most of their things.
Back in Yunfu, corydalis said to Yuxi, "they've had their last meal. But when we got our things, we sent out more than half of them in the twinkling of an eye. And I give them lucky money, two children also don't want, also said reactive not by salary. I'm very grateful for it. I can't ask for my money. These two children are so sensible that I almost shed tears. " Anyway, she was very moved.
Yuxi nodded his head and said, "I know how to be grateful, and I can put it into action. Life is hard, but I have my own principles. Both brothers are very good." Lu Bai, has been included in the list of Yuxi key training. As for Lu Zhu, Yu Xi put it on for the time being.
Mother Qu knew what happened to her two children. She also felt pity: "I've seen many cruel people in the world, but it's the first time I've seen such a heartless woman." There are a lot of people who leave their children to remarry. But it was the first time she had heard of taking all the money away and remarrying, regardless of the child's life or death. Tiger poison does not eat son, this woman is inferior to even animal.
Yuxi himself met a slag father, so he was very calm about this kind of thing: "there are all kinds of people in this world. It's bad luck for them to meet such a wicked mother. " She is also very unlucky, met a heartless father.
"Madame," said Corydalis, "let's take more photos of them in the future."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "No. Lu Bai doesn't have to spend money when he goes to school. Lu Zhu can support himself. It's not good for the two children to take care of Buddha too much. " It's better to rely on others than on yourself. It's important to learn how to make a living. Moreover, Yuxi felt that only in the midst of tribulation, people can grow up quickly.
After listening, corydalis did not speak any more.
