Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 75
It snowed heavily last night, and when Yun Song got up early in the morning, Yun Song led his sons to sweep the snow all over the yard.When the cleaning reached the gate, Yun Song pushed the door open, and a person suddenly fell in. "Dalang, come quickly, someone fainted in front of our door." Dalang and Erlang hurried over, Yun Song carried the man on his back, Dalang Erlang supported him on both sides, until they reached Dalang's room in the backyard, Yun Song took the man The man put it on the kang.

Yuxian heard her father's heavy and hurried footsteps in the yard, so she opened the door and looked, and saw that her father had carried a person into the east wing, "Mother, my father carried a person into the east wing, I'm afraid Someone is freezing, I'll go and have a look." Saying that, Yuxian ran to the East Wing, Fang was cooking in the kitchen, and when she heard her daughter say that the food was almost ready, she also ran there east wing.

In Dalang's room, a man in his 50s, with gray hair and pale face, curled up into a ball.Yuxian stepped forward to look at the man, then touched his head and hands, "Father, he didn't faint from the cold. It snowed last night, so it wasn't very cold. You can try his hand and it's still warm. He must be hungry." Fainted." Looking back, she saw her mother, "Mother, please cook a bowl of ginger soup, and serve a bowl of porridge." Mrs. Fang nodded and went out, and Xiao San also ran out, "I'll serve the porridge."

Yuxian climbed onto the kang and pinched the man hard with her hands.After a while, the man woke up faintly, his eyes moved, and he saw the people in the room, "Where is this?" The voice was very weak. "Grandpa, you are at my house, are you hungry?" Yuxian looked at the man.He nodded and said softly, "I got lost. I came from the river in the middle of the night, and then passed out when I arrived in front of your house."

Xiaosan brought a bowl of hot millet porridge, and Yuxian took it, "Grandpa, you should have some porridge first, your stomach is too weak now, so you can't eat anything else, just the millet porridge you cooked this morning." He held the bowl in one hand and scooped the porridge with a spoon in the other. "Brother, come up and help me support grandpa." Dalang went to the kang, helped the man to sit up halfway, Yuxian blew the porridge in the spoon, and then fed the man to drink, just like that, spoon by spoon I finished feeding a bowl of porridge. "Grandpa, you seem to have been hungry for several days. Eat less first. I will feed you a bowl after an hour. My mother has already made ginger soup. You can drink a bowl of ginger soup later. Go and go It’s cold, it’s nothing to worry about, it’ll be fine in a few days.” Then, he got off the ground and put on his shoes, “Daddy, let’s go eat first, and let mother find your clothes for grandpa, he’s wearing too thin.”

The whole family went to eat, leaving the man lying on the kang alone. He just drank a bowl of hot porridge, and his stomach felt as if he hadn't eaten anything. He knew that he was very hungry, and the kang was very hot. After a while, he fell asleep in a daze.

Going to the landlord's room, the Tong family members sat in the room after breakfast, talking about this starving man. "Mother, although that man's accent is similar to ours, but if you listen carefully, he still has a southern accent. I guess he is from the south, but his accent has changed because he has been away all year round." Yuxian said.

"Well, that's what I heard too. Don't care where he is from. It's not easy to come to Northeast China by himself. Let's stay here for a while and let him take care of himself." Fang's heart softened, Looking at the man's appearance, I felt a little unbearable.

"Okay, then let him live in Dalang's house for the time being. Dalang and Erlang live together." Yun Song said, "Although our family's life is difficult, don't treat him slowly. We eat whatever we eat. What to feed him, Yuxian Niang, you should look at it properly and cook some soup for him, it's not easy at such an advanced age."

"Well, don't worry, I understand." Fang nodded.

"You guys, if you have time, you can go and talk with him. You can hold back in the room alone, and then hold back something wrong. Xiaosi and Xiaowu, especially you two, live in the east wing with others, and often go to see him. Point. By the way, Mrs. Yuxian, do you still have my padded jacket at home? I think his clothes are flimsy and torn, so find a new one and put them on for him first.” Yun Song was very thoughtful.

"Yes, I'll look for it right away, take it and let him change it." After saying that, Fang got up and rummaged in the kang cabinet. After a while, he found a cotton-padded jacket, a pair of cotton trousers, and a set of underwear, all of which were old. Yes, but very clean.Yun Song took the clothes and went to the East Wing.

"My guest, I found a set of clothes for you, let's change. The one on your body is too thin, and we are too cold here, so we can't do it." Seeing that the man woke up, Yun Song put the clothes on the kang superior.

"You dare to keep me without asking me what I do, so you're not afraid that I'm a robber?" The man sat up, looked at Yun Song and asked.

"A robber is not a robber. The folk customs in our area are simple and honest. Anyone who meets someone like you will help. Ask? If you want to say something, don't ask us, and sooner or later you will say it." Yun Song smiled and said . "You can raise it here with peace of mind. When you are ready, if you want to leave, we won't stop you. If you don't want to leave, you can just stay here. Our village is a good place with mountains and rivers."

"Thank you, and thank you to your family, haven't you asked your benefactor's name yet?" The man seemed to relax his vigilance after hearing Yun Song's words.

"Is it expensive or not? My surname is Tong. My name is Tong Yunsong. This village is called Yanjiang Village. The children you saw just now belong to my family." Yun Song said seriously. "Don't call me a benefactor in the future, you're fine, you're just hungry."

"Well, I haven't eaten for three days and three nights. In any case, your family saved me, and you are my benefactor. My benefactor accepts my worship." He was about to kneel down.

Yun Song hurriedly stopped him, "You are so old, don't be like this, you are taking my life away, lie down quickly, and I will bring you a bowl of porridge." Yun Song was about to get up.

"I've been hungry for a long time, so I shouldn't eat more. Let's eat at noon. Little brother, don't call me. If you don't mind, just call me old brother. My surname is Yuan, and my name is Yuan Qingyun. Call me Brother Yuan is fine." The man refused to let Yun Song go to get food.

"Not good, I think you are not too young." Yun Song hesitated.

"Haha, I've been homeless and tortured for ten years, that's why I look so old. I'm 46 years old, and it shouldn't be a problem to be your elder brother." The man's laughter contained wind, frost, blood and tears.

"If that's the case, let's call you Uncle Yuan. I will tell the children to call you Uncle Yuan. Don't worry, Brother Yun. When you come to my brother, it's like you are at your own home. Don't dare to say anything else. We will eat you." Yes, there is something for you to eat." Yun Song patted his chest and assured.

"Thank you Brother Tong. I will stay here for a few days, and I will leave in a few days." Yuan Qingyun said.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. The most important thing now is to take care of your body." Yun Song didn't care.

The door was pushed open, and Yuxian came in with a bowl of ginger soup, "Grandpa, I brought you ginger soup, drink it quickly."

"Yuxian, I will be called Uncle Yuan in the future, he is not that old." Yun Song corrected him.

"Oh, I got it, Uncle Yuan, you're about to drink up the ginger soup, why have you stayed in the snow for a long time, and you'll be fine if you catch a cold." Yu Xian quickly changed her words.

Yuan Qingyun took the ginger soup, drank it all in one gulp, and then gave the bowl to Yuxian, but was stunned when he saw Yuxian's face. "Is your name Yuxian?"

"Yes, Uncle Yuan, you can call me Yuxian or Xiaoxian, you can call me whatever you want." Seeing that his face was weathered and his clothes were torn, but there was an indescribable arrogance and wisdom in Yuxian's heart, she felt a little strange .

"I don't know which month's birthday is it?" Yuan Qingyun asked Yun Song.

"September ninth day, what's wrong?" Yun Song was a little puzzled.

"Blessed brother Tong, this girl will be extremely rich in the future. The wealth of your family is all because of her, but the marriage should not be premature, brother Tong must remember." Yuan Qingyun said solemnly.

"Hahaha, Brother Yuan, I believe what you said. Yuxian is my family's lucky star. Without her, my family would not be where we are today." Yun Song didn't take Yuan Qingyun's words to heart.

"Daddy, stop talking nonsense there, I'm leaving first." Yuxian hurriedly left the East Wing, she was afraid that if she stayed in the room again, Yuan Qingyun would see the truth.People in my own family have long been used to her words and deeds, but outsiders are not.And this Yuan Qingyun gave her a very mysterious feeling, probably not some simple character.Yuxian ran back to her room to see how the bean sprouts that were put in the tank yesterday were doing.Lifting off the small quilt on the top of the tank, the yellow beans inside were exposed. The small sprouts were already half an inch long, and they were growing very well.Yuxian happily covered herself with the quilt. In two days, the bean sprouts would be ready to eat. She missed the taste of soybean sprouts, especially the more the bean sprouts were chewed, the more fragrant they became, and her saliva flowed out.Turning around and running to the east room, I saw my mother taking out a piece of cloth, what to do.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Yuxian climbed onto the kang and sat beside her mother.

"It's the eighteenth day of the winter month, and the twelfth lunar month is approaching. Mother wants to make you new clothes so that you can wear them during the New Year." Fang always makes plans in advance.

"Mom, the bean sprouts I made are growing very well, almost half an inch long, and they will be ready to eat in two days, hehehe, then mother will try it, whether it is delicious or not. By the way, mother, we will eat it this year Don’t you want sticky bean buns?” In the past, when there was no separation, they had already started making buns.

"Our family didn't have much rhubarb rice this year, but your uncle sent more than 100 catties, and your grandma didn't even give us a grain of rhubarb rice. What's the matter? Greedy bean buns?" Fang was a little bit reluctant to part with the little rhubarb rice , Come to a guest or something, that is a good thing for hospitality.

"Well, a little bit. I eat it every year, but not this year. I'm not used to it. Mom, let's pack less rice, can't we just pack [-] catties of rice?" Yuxian misses that sticky and sweet feeling.

"Okay, then let your father grind some rhubarb rice noodles tomorrow, let's make less." Fang's heart aches for the child, and when she hears that her daughter is greedy, she has to let her eat some, besides, it's the same for everything, Sticky bean buns can also fight hunger.

"Great, there are sticky bean buns to eat." Yuxian shouted happily.

　A more sent.
