No one cared about the wild boar meat at Yan's small butcher stall, but after Yan Laoer fooled around, it became a hot commodity.
Brainwashing with words is so scary!
Yan Yu was about to go over when she was pulled by Liang Fengnian. The little guy was shorter than her. When he saw her turning around, he quickly let go of his hand, looked around, looked very cautious, and asked in a low voice: "Miss...sister?"
Yan Yu was amused: "You just realized it?"
Liang Fengnian nodded, then shook his head.
"I'm a girl, are you a little disappointed? Don't you want to play with me?"
Liang Fengnian waved his hands hurriedly, with an anxious look on his face: "No, no." He was just startled.
Yan Yu said openly: "Everyone in the village knows that I am a girl. It is more convenient for me to dress up as a boy and go on the road. Yan Xiaoer said so. I have a sister above me. From that point of view, I am the second in line.
Two, hahaha, but not the second boy."
"You have to keep it a secret from me. Even the children in the mountain village don't know. I want to surprise them in the future."
Liang Fengnian asked curiously: "Then why did you tell me?"
Yan Yu said: "Uncle said that if you don't explain clearly, you might be deliberately deceiving me."
What the uncle meant was: Uncle Liang introduced his eldest son here in such a solemn manner, which was a sign of sincere friendship.
If they still deliberately concealed it, it would appear that they were rude.
Tell me frankly and I won't mind you in the future.
Yan Yu's own understanding is that scholars are so troublesome and think more than ordinary people. It is obviously just a child's play and they have to rise to a higher level.
If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Liang could help communicate and solve the problems of the victims, saving her father and uncle some effort, she would have been impatient to coax the child more.
"I won't tell dad!" Liang Fengnian was very loyal, "I will keep it a secret for you."
"That's not necessary." Yan Yu pointed over there, in the direction of the meat stall, "Maybe my dad will explain it to your dad now."
"Then can I still play with you in the future?" Liang Fengnian asked, very reluctantly.
"Hahaha! If your family doesn't mind, of course, but we don't have much time to play every day. We are all training and patrolling. As you saw before, they sometimes help my family with work."
"I heard it all. If you give them work points, you can exchange them for your things." Liang Fengnian asked with bright eyes: "Can I join? I also want to work and get work points."
Yan Yu:……
A little stuck.
Isn't it a bit inappropriate to let Tong Sheng's children work at her house?
"Do you have something you want to change?" Yan Yu could only think of this.
"I want Yan Xiucai's reward!" Liang Fengnian was a little embarrassed and did not dare to look into her eyes. He lowered his head and whispered: "Actually, I already know a lot of words and can write them. Does this count as cheating?"
Yan Yu wanted to touch Fengnian's little brother's little head, why is it so cute?
But she endured it.
"My eldest brother, eldest sister and I are all studying at different paces, and my uncle has different requirements for us. Let me show you something." Yan Yu took the small backpack behind him and showed him the copper plate inside.
"My uncle rewarded me with these ten copper coins. My eldest brother only has five. I am first class and he is third class. If you want to get the reward, I have to ask my uncle how to calculate it for you, but your parents have to
Just agree."
"I'll go back and ask." He didn't know whether his parents would agree.
"Does your uncle often reward you?" Liang Fengnian spotted other coins in his small backpack and pointed at them.
"No, these are given to me by my father." Yan Yu thought for a while, "He will ask me to help with some things, which is regarded as... wages?"
Liang Fengnian's eyes seemed to have stars twinkling, "Just like today, you help divide the coins."
Yan Yu nodded hesitantly, "Forget it."
She did a lot to help her father, keeping accounts, checking money and distributing money, inquiring about information, and solving problems.
Wherever there is need, she will be there.
What a wonderful daughter!
"Second sister, how long will it take for me to learn to count money?" Liang Fengnian asked expectantly.
"As long as you master the method, it will be quick." Yan Yu frowned and said, "No one can call me sister in private, and outsiders must not call me wrong."
"I know, little second brother!"
"It's okay to call me Yan Xiaoer." Yan Yu is more concerned about being called 'buddy' all the time.
"It's not good that you are older than me." Liang Fengnian also had his own little insistence.
"Okay, it's up to you." Yan Yu didn't force it.
The two children walked on their short legs and moved towards the crowded place.
Liang Fengnian suddenly asked: "If my parents agree, can I practice archery with you?"
Yan Yu tilted his head, this was a bit difficult.
The bamboo crossbow is in their village and they don't want to spread it outside.
The villagers are extremely strict about this aspect.
Yan Yu thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "You are not from our village, so I can't use the bamboo crossbow for you."
According to Liang Fengnian, if he was rejected before, he would definitely not pester him again.
But at this time, he was a little stubborn and decided to try to break into this team first.
"Then I won't touch you, and I will follow you."
Yan Yu didn't take it seriously. Little boys probably liked these activities.
He agreed casually.
…
"Back then, the bandits only allowed us to keep younger children, so my elder brother..." Liang Manshan looked sad. Just thinking about that day made it difficult to breathe.
"Dalang was left behind with his grandfather. My father was injured by bandits earlier and has difficulty moving. The child is only six years old...
I heard from my father that one time when he was looking for food during the harvest, he ran back in a very embarrassed state, his mouth full of blood, and he was afraid that someone would come looking for him. Such a small man had to support his father for a long distance, and both his grandfather and grandson were covered with injuries.
.
When we found them...brother Huai'an!"
Liang Manshan choked several times and found it difficult to speak.
"I will never forget the look in my child's eyes at that moment. It was like a knife stabbing my heart. It hurt me to death!"
"The kid changed after that. He was no longer as reliant on my wife and me as before. I know he still blames us."
Liang Manshan cried silently, his wide sleeves shaking to cover his face.
Yan Laoer raised his head and let tears stay in his eyes.
Hold it back! Get some energy! You must hold it back!
Hearing him talk about the child in Fengnian, he just felt so pitiful and miserable, and he was also moved by it.
But what triggered his tears was precisely Liang Manshan's silent crying that he did not dare to make a sound.
It was an act of hiding his face that he did not forget to preserve his dignity.
The evil of the mountain bandits ignores human ethics and does not kill anyone, but kills the heart!
"It's over the whole mountain, it's all over." He comforted feebly.
"I am ashamed of my family and my good harvest!" Liang Manshan took a few long breaths, suppressed his grief and anger, carefully wiped away the tears on his face, and asked him: "Can you still see it?"
Yan Laoer helped him look at it carefully and said seriously: "The eyes are a little red."
He looked at the hot iron pot next to him, quickly brushed oil on it, and put the sliced meat on it.
