Chapter 6 The Yun Family

Chapter 6 Yun Family

Yunjia Village belongs to the north of the Zhou Dynasty and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Yunjia Village is located in the mountains. From a distance, it looks like a nest protected by the mountains and forests. The children in the village like to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and find wild vegetables.

fruit.

It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Five years before the new emperor succeeded to the throne, people in many places were displaced due to drought. Only Yunjia Village was not affected by the drought because of the Phoenix Mountains.

This is because there is a large river in Yunjia Village that runs through the Phoenix Mountains. The river is about four meters wide. You can't see the beginning or the end. Yunjia Village uses this river water for irrigation, laundry, etc., and the water from this river is not good at all.

The rapids are not particularly deep, the deepest point is just over one meter, and the water is crystal clear.

In the summer, many children from the village come to the river to play and play. Occasionally, the greedy children catch a fish and go home to improve the food. Of course, the adults in the family still have a meal of "fried pork with bamboo shoots". After all, the family does not allow it.

Although it is not deep when playing in water, I am afraid of accidents.

"As the saying goes, you can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water."

It is precisely because of Phoenix Mountain and the river that everyone in Yunjia Village did not starve to death. I heard stories from the older generation that in ancient times, a phoenix flew from the sky in Phoenix Mountain and later lived in this mountain. From this, Phoenix Mountain got its name.

name.

The Yun family's house is not far from the foot of Fenghuang Mountain. This old house had a few mud thatched houses when Mr. Yun was young. Mr. Yun was the only son in the Yun family. After the death of Mr. Yun's mother, there was no one.

A few years ago, Mr. Yun's father also passed away. After Mr. Yun took over the house from his father, he slowly repaired the mud courtyard house with the help of his uncle. Otherwise, when it rained, it would rain heavily outside.

, it’s raining lightly inside.

Later, Yunyi Yunbo was born. Yunyi was not good at studying since he was a child, so he reluctantly learned a few things from his father. Instead, he was more interested in Kung Fu, so he studied Kung Fu with his uncle's family who was a bodyguard. When he grew up, he occasionally went to Phoenix Mountain.

Go hunting and go to the town's restaurants to exchange for money.

Yun Bo was not good at studying when he was a child, and was only so-so in Kung Fu. Instead, he was a master of carpentry and bamboo weaving. There was a bamboo strip master in the village who had fled from other places. His wife, children, and children all died on the way to escape, without any relatives or reasons.

Once when he went to chop bamboo on the mountain, he accidentally fell and got injured. Yun Bo, who was going up the mountain to chop wood, found him and carried him down the mountain for treatment. Later, the old bamboo craftsman discovered that Yun Bo was interested in bamboo weaving crafts and was a kind-hearted child.

, so he accepted Yun Bo as his apprentice.

Yun Bo was also a filial person. He studied under Master Zhu Bian and was as filial as a father. Until Master Zhu Bian passed away a few years ago, Yun Bo took care of him until he died.

Yun Bo also made some money through this craft, and he and his eldest brother built a brick house next to the yard. After letting his parents live in it, the two brothers built two more houses together and demolished the original mud and thatched house.

Already.

The Yun family now has three brick houses, with neatly arranged finished buildings. The upper room houses the rooms of Yun's father, Yun Mu, and Yuntian, because Yuntian has not married yet and lives with his parents, not to mention that Yuntian does not go home often when he is studying.

The house on the left belongs to a family with two bedrooms, and the one on the right belongs to Yunxi's family. The house Yunyi built for his parents is the best and largest of the three. The family eats in the main room of the Yun family. The three rooms have the same layout.

Guest room, bedrooms on both sides.

Next to the second house is the kitchen, and behind the big house is a small vegetable garden. The family usually picks vegetables in the backyard. On the left side of the vegetable garden is a chicken coop with a high fence to prevent chickens from sneaking out and eating the vegetables.

There is also a pigsty next to the house, with two large spotted pigs, and the pigs and weeds in the house are all being taken care of.

There is a well not far from the kitchen, and the water at home is used for drinking water, laundry, and cooking.

These were also what I saw and heard myself in the few months after Yunxi was born, when her mother and grandma took her out of the room from time to time.

Through Yun Xi's own observation, although the family has plenty of food, there is still a long way to go to be well fed and clothed. After all, there are more boys in the family.

Although the eldest brother works as an accountant in a restaurant in Jixiang Town and earns money, the family also has more money to spend. The third uncle and second brother in Yunxi have to take the merit examination. It is difficult for a farm family to support one student, or two.

The annual tuition fees alone add up to ten taels of silver, not to mention the expenses of buying books, honoring teachers, entertaining classmates, exchanging favors, etc.

Moreover, the three large tile-roofed houses in the family were only built a few years ago, and the family probably doesn’t have much money left. If my father hadn’t gone up to the mountains from time to time to catch some pheasants and hares to sell in the town for money. He would occasionally improve the food, it would probably be even less.

Well, be prepared for danger in times of peace and be prepared for a rainy day.

Although my grandma is less than fifty years old, she is not in her prime, and her body is more or less unable to bear it. The family has fifteen acres of land, five acres of paddy field, five acres of dry land, and five acres of fertile land. For a lifelong farmer, this is

It’s really not enough to see where you click.

After Old Man Yun failed to take the imperial examination, he began to work in the fields. Although his sons had hunting skills, they could not sell small prey for much money. The real money was made from large wild animals. In these years, they only hunted one roe deer and

A deer and a wild boar coming down the mountain. If you want to hunt these, you need to go deep into the mountains, but there are not only roe deer in the mountains, but also deer, tigers, wolves and other ferocious beasts.

The Yun family relied on this money to build this blue brick house. After all, Yun Yi and Yun Bo were both married, and the children were born one by one. They had to have no place to live. There is no room for them at home now. If not for Yunnan in the town

Working has a place to live. Yunbei is in the academy. The other room in the big room is not occupied by Yundong himself, but three brothers crowded together. The child is not married yet. If he gets married and has a child, the house will not be roomable.

Alas~ It's a pity that I still can't open my own space. I want to use my powers to generate some food for my family to sell. For the sake of Yunxi's health, Mrs. Yun is afraid that Yunxi's use of "immortal magic" will have an impact on her body.

After that time, Yunxi was never allowed to come into contact with the seeds.

Now Yunxi is only a three-month-old baby. He can't do anything, can't speak, and can't say to his mother: "My mother, using "magic" has no effect on me."

Lying on the bed and sighing.

Li Wanrou heard her little daughter sighing, which was very funny. The little baby was only three months old and already had something on her mind.

"What are you thinking about, my little girl? Tell me, why are you still sighing?" Li Wanrou teased Yunxi jokingly. Of course, Yunxi couldn't say it out loud. It is estimated that if she could speak at this time, her mother would be frightened.

One jump.

"Ey-ah, ah-ah" (Yunxi: "Mom, our family is too poor, I want to make money for you to spend)"

"Ah, where is my daughter chatting with my mother?" Li Wanrou talked to Yunxi with a look of surprise.

At the same time, Li Wanrou thought to herself: "My daughter is so cute."

Mother and daughter each talked about their own things and communicated vigorously until Yunxi couldn't resist the baby's instinct and fell asleep again.
