"Mulan..." Yuan was pushed out by Hua's father and went to the kitchen with her daughter. Seeing that her daughter had grabbed another bowl, she had to wonder what she was doing with the two bowls, and hesitantly, she quietly asked her daughter:
"Yesterday's child was your Paoze Tuogu's child, and today's young master is..."
Is it possible to let people eat at the table with this child? !
Seeing how he was eating, the whole family felt that they were servants and accidentally climbed onto the table!
Looking at the way he eats, their whole family seems to be caught from the mountains!
He Mulan also regretted leaving the child without discussing it with her parents. The main reason was that You Ke's pleading eyes were too unbearable, and she considered that if You Ke went to the capital for a long time, the child would indeed be Very difficult.
In case of wandering outside, a playboy like him must have his trousers stripped and then sold, which would be very sinful.
It's all left now, and it's useless to say more.
"This is He Guang, the county magistrate's cousin. He is going to Beijing because of Lu Shuihu, so he has to be fostered with me. His family will take him back after a while." Hand it to her mother, "Mum, add another bowl to Xiao Zhuo, I don't think he is full."
"Huh? I think he's full..."
No one puts down their chopsticks when they are not full.
"I see that he is always staring at He Guang's bowl, he probably isn't full."
"This is really... hey, I thought..." Yuan shi took the bowl and filled it up for A Shan Zhuo. "I thought that your Paoze's son or this young master came to be your son..."
He Mulan slipped her hand when she heard Hua Mu's words and almost missed the bowl.
"Mother is talking nonsense again. They also have mothers, so why would they come to my house to be my son? Besides, I can't afford to give me such a charming son like He Guang."
"I didn't think that even Yulin Lang from the side of the Emperor came to beg you to marry, and it wouldn't be surprising if a few more boys begged to be your son..." Yuan Shi muttered in his mouth, not forgetting to help He Mulan took the bowl.
"You think too much! Can that be the same!"
"This little boy Xianbei said so neatly, I thought he was learning it for you..."
Yuan Shi is no longer surprised by her daughter's strong fan group, and there is a faint trend of blindly imagining it.
I'm afraid that even if the emperor himself stood at her door tomorrow and begged her to go back to be a general, the Hua family would not be frightened.
He Mulan grabbed the rice bowl and walked back to the house, handing the bowl to A Danzhuo.
"Huh? Aunt Hua, I'm full! I, I... "
"What nonsense are you talking about? You ate three bowls last night, and it will become one bowl at noon today? It's just when you're growing, so eating more is the right thing to do." He Mulan frowned, staring at Ah Dan. Zhuo didn't dare to speak any more, he took the bowl obediently, lowered his head and picked up the rice.
"I'm full." He Guang also put down his chopsticks and politely nodded to several adults in the Hua family.
"Hey, little brother, why do you only eat vegetables and not meat..." Brother Hua kept paying attention to He Guang, and found that he hadn't touched the meaty smell of his house. "How dare you not eat meat at your age!"
He Mulan had just added a bowl, and when he heard what Little Brother Hua said, he couldn't help but look over to He Guang.
His bowl is really clean. He only needs half a bowl of rice, but the bowl after eating is not shiny at all. It would be much easier to wash dishes if you come to Hua Mu.
He Mulan turned to look at Adanzhuo again.
There was a small pile of meat bones on the table in front of him.
Oops!
A Danzhuo felt nervous for a while, and covered the pile of bones with a bowl.
This kid is so cunning! It's actually a trick to not eat meat!
He Mulan's temper was straight, and seeing that He Guang didn't eat meat, she simply asked aloud:
"What? Is the meat in our house not to your liking?"
To be honest, she doesn't really like to eat meat here, because the way to make meat in this era is simple, mostly boiled and steamed, and the meat is mainly mutton on weekdays, so her favorite food is the air-dried here. The meat, at least tastes fragrant, and it is not greasy and fishy.
However, the Hua family was well-off, and the meat-loving He Mulan provided financial support behind the scenes, and saw meat-eaters more often than usual. There is also a problem of concept. He Mulan, who has become accustomed to eating meat every day in modern times, has not yet adapted to the habit of eating meat only during the New Year and festivals in the village. When he eats meat, at least he eats pork. psychological burden.
The Hua family always thought that Hua Mulan had already gotten in with General Huwei in the army, so he must have no worries about food and drink, so he would rather suffer for himself, and not want his daughter to be hungry and not eat well, plus the money that Mulan gave to the Hua family. The cloth is enough for them to eat and drink, and the Hua family does not care.
Although Adanzhuo's family has funds from Mulan, but after all, it is using other people's money, and he has no idea. In addition, Adanzhuo spends a lot of money every month after learning art. If he eats meat every day, That is to not even think about it.
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old children are at the age where they can even eat grass. When they see meat, they can't help it.
Compared with A Danzhuo, who was just a few years older, He Guang's behavior became strange.
But when he heard He Mulan's question, he didn't show anything strange, instead he calmly folded his hands, and replied in a pious voice, "My grandmother passed away a few years ago. Buddha, I swore an oath to be a vegetarian for my grandmother for three years to fulfill my filial piety."
"Ah, that's why you wear your hair..." A Danzhuo has been wondering why this young man is wearing Han clothes, but his hair is loose, and he doesn't look like he is unruly.
He Guang heard Adanzhuo's words, and did not answer his question directly, but just made a few random hums.
The Han people are filial and filial, while the Xianbei people are not so particular about it. But in any case, those who are willing to do filial piety are always worthy of praise.
A filial child should not be too bad, and the Hua family immediately had a good impression of him and praised him repeatedly.
After He Guang finished eating, he watched the He Mulan family with some curiosity as they started to eat.
He Mulan stared straight at him and stopped the chopsticks in his hand.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm watching General Hua, who is famous all over the world, and his food is no different from ordinary people..."
He thought that someone with such strength would eat four or five bowls in one go. As a result, the black strong boy next to him didn't eat as much.
He Mulan rolled her eyes angrily.
"If you eat more food, you will have more strength, then my younger brother is the most powerful in our family."
Hearing this, Huamutuo raised his head and smirked a few times.
He has to do a lot of work during the day. If he really wants to be able to eat openly, he can eat three or four bowls of corn and rice.
Mr. Fang is now in a state of ecstasy. He vomits badly when he smells the fumes. He eats alone in his room every day, which is very hard. Considering that Mrs. Fang was pregnant, and the mother had to take care of the young and the old, He Mulan took both A-Danzhuo and He Guang to their own room after everyone finished eating. The next door cleaned up and pointed to the foot-high bunk bed.
"I live alone in my house on weekdays, so I haven't cleaned up the other rooms, so I can't live in it for the time being. There is only a platform bed here, which is big enough for the two of you. From today Wake up, sleep together." She looked at the bitter faces of the two children and blinked, "What?"
He Guang didn't dare to say that he wanted to sleep alone. This Hua Mulan looked like the kind of cold-hearted person. He tried it too. It was useless for him to act like a spoiled child, and it was useless to be good. The kid is generally more sincere and appreciated by her.
There is a ready-made example here. He naturally glanced at A-Danzhuo honestly: "I always sleep alone at home, but suddenly I sleep with other people. I'm not used to it."
"Me too..." Adanzhuo scratched his head.
Seeing the reluctance on the faces of the two children, He Mulan stood with her arms folded and raised her chin slightly to ask He Guang.
"Are you snoring? Grinding your teeth? Picking your feet? Talking in your sleep? Night walks?"
He Guang was startled and shook his head.
"Very good. What about you?" He Mulan asked Adanzhuo.
A-Danzhuo swallowed and replied uncertainly: "I... I have sweaty feet. My grandmother snores when I'm tired. I don't have to grind my teeth, I'm talking in my sleep... I don't know if I'm talking or not. Dream talk."
Every time A-Dan Zhuo said a word, He Guang's face wrinkled a little, and when A-Dan Zhuo's words were all finished, his face was almost wrinkled into a small bun.
"When you all become soldiers, you will find that your companions are all weirdos who snore, grind their teeth, pick their feet, talk in their sleep, have bad breath, hug people, and suddenly sit up and run around in the middle of the night." He Mu Lan sneered, "It's a good thing to get used to it first, but when that time comes, no one will change your barracks."
A-Danzhuo was taken aback by the description of "Aunt Hua", but He Guang glanced at He Mulan thoughtfully, and instead asked her, "What should we do if we encounter such a situation? "
"Forbearance!" He Mulan knelt on the ground, pulled out a dog-skin quilt from the closet and patted it. "I couldn't help it, so I thought of ways to go up. After the military cavalry captain, the two will be able to share the same tent."
Adanzhuo quickly took the quilt and nodded quickly.
"Aunt Hua, I will try my best to be promoted to military cavalry captain as soon as possible!"
At the 12th rank of Ce Xun, the meritorious deed of the first rank is Wu Qiwei. However, this title is a vacant post. It just means that you will enjoy the treatment of a military cavalry captain in the future, and there is no corresponding military power. If you want to lead troops, you still need to be granted a regular position in the army.
Just like Hua Mulan, she has fought a lot in her life, and her military achievements have reached the level of "Twelfth Rank". The number of soldiers that a fifth-rank general can bring.
He Guang touched the dog skin quilt and sighed invisibly, but still tried his best to squeeze out a smile.
"I'm afraid I'm not very good at training in the military, but it's interesting to have such an experience."
"It's best if you think so." He Mulan didn't like children, but that didn't prevent her from treating her two children as adults. Even if it is an adult, she will not take special care of it.
"You are familiar with it first, and you can walk around next door. Your horses are taken care of by my little brother in the backyard. If you want to run horses, it is best not to run too far. I will go to the market once every three or five days. If you have anything to buy, you can Tell me directly and I'll bring it back to you."
Before You Ke left, He Mulan forcibly stuffed a small bag of pearls, so He Guang was not considered free food. He Mulan wasn't sure what kind of food and accommodation He Guang wanted in his house, so he took the best treatment that he could get at home. When his family came to pick him up, how many beads were left, he would bring them back with his family.
Adanzhuo is Adan Zhiqi's child, so naturally he can't watch it as a guest. But she also did not want to treat the two children differently.
Since You Ke said that the purpose of putting her cousin in her house was to hone him, then she bluntly began to "hone in".
A-Danzhuo is very happy as long as he is by Hua Mulan's side, nodding his head again and again, smiling from ear to ear. He Guang's personality is relatively gentle, but when he heard Hua Mulan's tone of treating them not as juniors but as equals, a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that these two teenagers were so easy to pass away, He Mulan explained some things that need to be paid attention to in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, so she went to the warehouse to carry two large bags and threw them into the room.
"He Guang, here are your luggage and clothes. Put them away by yourself. Adanzhuo, you can't wear my little brother's clothes. Go and get some of my big clothes with me and wear them first."
It was early winter when Adanzhuo set off from his hometown. It is now November, and the weather is much colder. Although A-Danzhuo said that she was not afraid of the cold, and she only wore a jacket every three or nine days at home, but she saw him running around in thin clothes and it was cold, so she insisted to prepare some furs for him first.
When Adanzhuo returned to the room they shared with a few furs, he saw He Guang fidgeting in the room, and when he saw him coming in, he jumped up like a savior. .
"Big Brother Adan, you came just in time..." He blushed, "I have some cramps in my stomach, I think I'm going to have a stomach upset. You can find me a clean toilet chip if you want..."
Seeing him like this, A-Danzhuo was also nervous for him, so he nodded and said ok. He came yesterday and was more familiar with Mulan's house. He led him to a small toilet room behind the house and pushed him. He goes in.
"It's here, it's your convenience first, I'll go find you a toilet chip..." He pushed a few times, but saw that He Guang wanted to step back, and was puzzled. "Little Langjun of the He family, what's the matter with you? Aren't you in a hurry, hurry up..."
He Guang endured the water in his eyes, but he still pointed at the toilet room tremblingly, and said shiveringly, "This... this place where there are air leaks..."
Now Adanzhuo is even more strange.
"The toilet room at Aunt Hua's house is already very good. Our side is open to the outside world, so we can just surround it with haystacks or something. I know you are everyone's son, but now is not the time to be particular, you can go in. !"
After he finished speaking, he pushed He Guang in hard. He practiced sword and iron since he was a child. Suddenly there were a few pig hums in the pigsty, and now he really wanted to cry.
"Brother Adan, this... how come there are pigs next door?"
"Oh, it seems that the New Year is almost here. Aunt Hua brought it back and waited to be killed during the Chinese New Year. Uncle Hua let him keep it here." Adan Zhiqi disagreed. Whose pigsty is not connected to the toilet room.
He Guang couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately lifted up his clothes and tied them up, and stepped into the toilet pit cautiously. He didn't dare to look down at all, so he could only close his eyes tightly, focusing on convenience.
It was only half of the convenience, he suddenly remembered a terrible problem and hurriedly called out.
"Big Brother Adan, are you outside? Big Brother Adan? Big Brother Adan?"
There was no sound outside, and Adanzhuo had already gone far away, so he went to find a toilet chip for him.
He squatted on the spot for a while, only to feel that the wind was blowing from nowhere, and it blew his ass cold and his whole body was cold. While regretting that he had lived in, he gritted his teeth and tacitly agreed that "the sky's lowering the price is the responsibility of the people", and his eyes were red. Red continued.
In Mulan's room.
"Clean toilet chips?" He Mulan looked at A Danzhuo strangely. "I don't have such a thing."
The first time she saw this kind of thing, and when she knew how to use it, she almost collapsed. Since then, she has been buying the worst kind of paper at the market and cutting it.
She has never dared to let the Hua family know about this matter. Every time she uses a small bamboo cage to secretly hold the used toilet paper and bury it in an unoccupied place.
At this time, paper is a rare thing, even the cheapest paper is very sacred, and it is a thing that carries knowledge and learning. Ordinary poor students have no money to buy paper, so they can only write on the ground with a sand table. Hua’s father learned some characters in the army, and Hua’s mother can also use some simple characters because her brother taught her to read, but they rarely use paper. To write, more wood chips or something.
So they treat paper more seriously than ordinary villagers' homes.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like if the Hua family knew that she used "sacred paper" to wipe PP.
I might have a cerebral infarction...
A Danzhuo thought that He Mulan said "I don't have that kind of thing" to mean that she didn't have any toilet chips that she didn't use, so she suddenly got into trouble.
He carried the toilet chip with him, but what He Jialangjun said was "you can find me a clean toilet chip if you have trouble".
But he didn't know the Hua family well, so he had to go to other people to ask for toilet chips at this time, but it was hard for him to speak.
Seeing the way he was hesitating to speak, He Mulan suddenly felt a muscle in his mind, and she asked him with some faint joy:
"Did that kid He Guang want it?"
Adanzhuo nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"He's the son of a noble family, I'm afraid he won't be able to use the toilet chips in our family." He Mulan walked to the cabinet in the house in three steps and five steps, opened the cabinet and took out a few rough papers.
"Go and give him this, let him use it first."
"Oh my God! Aunt Hua, this is paper to write on!" A Shanzhuo suddenly took a few steps back in fright. "It can't be done, it's too... this is too..." He couldn't find the adjective at once, and he was a little at a loss for words. "It's too... can't be used! If you spread it out, you will be stabbed in the spine!"
"Who passed it on?" He Mulan waved his hand, "I can't let him just squat in the toilet room all afternoon, looking for unused toilet chips everywhere, right? Use it first, and you can just go out."
"I... I..." A Danzhuo's expression was as if he was going to take a beautiful woman to wipe his ass. Although he took the paper He Mulan forcibly pushed up, he didn't move a step for a long time.
"What are you doing, hurry up!" He Mulan hurriedly urged.
"But Aunt Hua, I still think..." A Danzhuo looked at the paper in his hand, and couldn't help pinching it to feel its touch. It's not good paper, but it's paper for writing...
"It is urgent to follow the right." He Mulan knew what other people's attitudes were when he saw A Danzhuo's appearance, "He is a guest and cannot be treated rudely."
When Adanzhuo heard He Mulan's words, he felt a little happy.
Aunt Hua's meaning seemed to treat him not as a guest, but as her own.
Under the excitement in his heart, he didn't even know when he was holding the paper and walked out of the door. When he got to the door of the toilet, he looked at the paper in his hand, but still couldn't bear to send it in, and only whispered to the inside. :
"Little Langjun of the He family, are you okay?"
He Guang's body had already squatted until his legs were weak and his limbs were weak. When he heard A Danzhuo's voice, he cried out as if he was being forgiven: "Brother Adan, it's alright, alright, bring the toilet chips. Yet?"
"..." Adanzhuo gritted his teeth and asked tentatively, "If you don't want a clean toilet chip, will you use mine first?"
There was no sound in the toilet room.
The atmosphere was so sad that even A-Danzhuo couldn't bear it.
After a while, He Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Adan, it's really not good, please find me a piece of clothes, tear up a piece and send it to me."
Adanzhuo sighed.
This kind of rich boy, he really won't use his countryman's things.
He put the paper in with some sadness and some regret, and handed it to He Guang, who was covering his mouth and nose.
"Here, Aunt Hua told you to use this first."
"Huh? Isn't this paper?" He Guang took the rough paper, glanced at it, and then looked at A-Dan Zhuo in front of him, "Brother A-Dan, can you..."
He made a gesture of turning around.
Adanzhuo hooted twice and turned around suddenly.
He Guang finished conveniently, and was about to get up, but he smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.
"Now it seems that you are also here with General Hua, but it is my blessing..."
"Brother A-Dan, I'm going to bother you again..." He whispered to A-Dan Zhuo, who had his back turned to him.
Adanzhuo turned around inexplicably and looked at him suspiciously.
"Please help me up..." He blushed.
"My legs are numb..."
This is the first day!
This is actually the first day!
He Guang listened to the pig next door humming, and then looked at Adanzhuo who was helping him lift his pants.
Grandma wow, can I really go back alive
The author has something to say: Actually, toilet chips are quite ergonomic. It is a small hexagonal bamboo piece, which can be used repeatedly after washing. This is only used by knowledgeable people. Ordinary villagers are grass and tiles...
Comes with ergonomic toilet chips.
small theater:
A few days later, the younger brother of the Hua family asked his elder sister a little embarrassedly.
Huamutuo: Sister, that new little boy, doesn't he... use paper to go to the toilet
He Mulan: ... (nodding with a guilty conscience).
Hua Mutuo: (distressed) These rich sons of the Han people are simply sins! (The following 1500 words of righteous indignation are omitted)
He Mulan: (Silently folded) He Guang, I'm sorry.
