Although Haizi's body had recovered, he was still in a daze, and his face was not as radiant as usual. He looked at Mr. Yun in a daze, and did not immediately respond to his words. He seemed to have some doubts in his heart.
Seeing this, Mr. Yun came over and stroked Haizi's head, comforting him not to think about summoning Duanlong's soul anymore. The matter was over and everyone felt at ease. He advised him not to worry about it anymore and not to worry about it again in the future. Mentioned this matter.
Second Master Yun said that Haizi has dragon energy in his body, and he will definitely be right in the future. Only he can lead Duanlong's soul back so smoothly. The Taoist Master also said the same, but he just asked Haizi not to mention this matter again, I'm afraid it will be harmful to the public. Haizi's future destiny will be affected.
The young man known as "Haizi" has just turned fifteen this year, but he is already tall and straight. The dignified heroic spirit of a northern man can be seen between his brows, and a light beard has grown on his lips that are often closed. .
Haizi's real name is Yu Yuehai and his courtesy name is Chenglong. His father has passed away due to illness. Yu Yuehai currently lives with his mother, thirteen-year-old sister, and ten-year-old brother. It can also be said that mother and son depend on each other, because their family is also very poor.
Yu Yuehai's father was a teacher. He fled from Shandong to the Northeast in his early years and settled in Duanlonggang. When his father was alive, he opened a school with the help of Mr. Yun.
This school is close to the west of the Yun Family Courtyard, separated by a road. After his father's death, the school fell into disuse. Now a distant relative of Mr. Yun lives and guards it, but the school's past appearance is still preserved.
Yu Yuehai studied in school with his father from the age of five until his father passed away when he was almost fourteen. Most of the young masters and young ladies in the Yun Family Courtyard attended the school run by their father, and many of them were classmates with Yu Yuehai.
As the saying goes, "You can't be the king of children if you have two buckets of grain in the family." Although Yu Yuehai's father was literate, he could not earn much money by teaching. The family was still very poor, and he often had to eat a lot of food during the lean years. Not a single meal.
Fortunately, Yuehai's mother is also very diligent and thrifty. She drags her little feet to work on the five acres of land at home. This is a great subsidy for the family. Of course, Yuehai often takes time to help her mother work in the fields during the busy farming season. live.
But my mother was also a typical Chinese woman who doted on her children. She placed all her hopes on her children, hoping that they would be successful when they grew up. She lived frugally so that her children could study, and was reluctant to let them work in the fields.
Yu Yuehai's father was a poor teacher. He was sick all day long and could not do farm work at all. As a result, the burden of the family fell on his mother, but she still worked tirelessly without any complaints.
Fortunately, the father's income is relatively stable, and coupled with the mother's hard work, although the life is difficult, it is also harmonious and stable. The children gradually grow up in the hand-to-mouth life, and they are all better than children of the same age.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and blessings. When his children were about to grow up, Mr. Yu couldn't afford to fall ill and passed away. This was a huge blow to the Yu family, and the children of the Yu family had to drop out of school and work hard for a living with their mother.
Second Master Yun remembered his old relationship with Mr. Yu when he was still alive, so he asked his eldest son Yu Yuehai to work at his house as a long-term laborer, earning him two buckets of food per stone every year. Let the younger son herd pigs for his family in the summer, and he will have five bushels of grain every year.
Although it is said that Gaoliang is given, most of the food given is daily rations, and Gaoliang is just a unit of measurement. In addition, Yu Yuehai's mother and her daughter farm some land at home, and they can still make ends meet.
At this time, Yu Yuehai had been working in the Yun family compound for more than a year. He was already familiar with everything about the Yun family. In addition, he was literate and able to help Mr. Yun record work hours and do calculations all year round. Settle accounts and run errands.
In addition, Second Master Yun often remembers Mr. Yu’s good deeds when he was alive, and he also knows about Yu Yuehai’s future, so Yu Yuehai’s status in the Yun family is stronger than that of other laborers, and he can often get Yu Yuehai’s help. Family compassion.
Haizi was comforted by Master Yun and said nothing more. He followed Master Yun's instructions and went to the front courtyard to call Si Xizi and tell him Master Yun's arrangements.
Si Xizi is the eldest son of the third master of the Yun family. He is the same age as Yu Yuehai. His first name is Yun Mengtian and his nickname is Xizi. Because the first three children in the third family's family were all girls, the fourth one was a son. The whole family was overjoyed, so he was named Xizi.
In addition, Xizi ranked fourth among the new generation of Yun family men, so everyone called him Si Xizi. Of course Si Xizi also attended Yu Yuehai's father's school, but only for five years.
Si Xizi may not be born to study together, and her knowledge is too far behind that of Yu Yuehai. Now that I have no education and am getting older year by year, I stay at home and do some farm work within my ability. But in the long run, Si Xizi may be the future head of the Yun family compound.
When Sixizi came to the courtyard with sleepy eyes, Haizi had already finished drinking the water for the two weak horses and hitched them to the rollers. So the two men each took a horse and went to work on their respective plots.
In early spring, the sun rises early but rises slowly. Haizi had been working in the fields for an hour and a half, and the sun had just climbed a pole high. By this time, Haizi was already a little tired, the pace of leading the horse had slowed down, and his stomach began to growl.
He looked up at the sun and then in the direction of the village, planning to rest in the field for a while. There was an old elm tree near the edge of the field. As Haizi approached the old elm tree, he saw a woman in red walking towards the village from a distance. What seemed to be a dog running in front of the woman in red. Haizi thought to himself, who is this?
When Haizi pulled his horse to the end of the field, he gradually saw clearly that the person coming might be the fifth lady of the Yun family, Monroe. The dog running in front was the female guard dog in the Yun family's backyard. This dog was familiar with Haizi, and Haizi always stole some delicious food to feed it.
This dog is currently growing seedlings, but Mr. Yun does not want it to mate with the male dog in the backyard because it is the offspring of a big male dog. After recognizing the dog, Haizi became more convinced that the person who came was Fifth Miss Monroe. Haizi thought to himself that he couldn't rest now, so he turned the horse's head again and continued to lead the horse to press the roller.
"Jackie Chan, stop pressing, I'm bringing you food!" Monroe shouted from a distance. Monroe entered school at the age of seven, one year later than Yu Yuehai, but they were classmates together for eight years. According to the customary name in school, Monroe called Yu Yuehai "Jackie Chan".
Haizi stopped and glanced in Monroe's direction. The big black dog had already rushed forward, pounced on Haizi's body with both paws, and then rolled twice on the ground. In this way, he greeted Haizi and expressed his affection.
"My father asked me to bring you food. It's still hot. Eat it quickly." Monroe placed the basket in the open space under the big elm tree: "sticky bean buns, pickles, and I also brought you a steamed bun. It’s the leftovers from my family’s meal this morning.”
"Why are you here?" Haizi sat down, casually took the steamed buns from Monroe, glanced at her gratefully, and whispered: "Thank you!"
Monroe smiled at Haizi, with a slight blush on her face: "My father said that there are many birds in spring, and now is a good time to catch them. I found a few plates of iron clips in the broken box that my brother had when he was a child. Look, Can you help me catch some birds for my grandma to burn and eat?"
Monroe did not directly answer Haizi's question, but made a request to him, and took out seven or eight plates of iron clips from the bottom of the basket and placed them in front of Haizi. Haizi looked up at Monroe and did not speak immediately. .
He lowered his head and ate the food slowly while fiddling with the iron clamp with his hands: "This clamp looks like it can still be used. The stick and pin are all good, but it doesn't work without bugs."
"Yes!" Monroe said, taking out a small medicine bottle from his pocket: "I asked Wu Guizi to help me pick out a lot of corn stubble."
Haizi raised his head and looked at Monroe seriously. She was wearing a pink jacket today, and her face seemed to be painted with powder, and a faint fragrance wafted over her. Haizi said: "It will be the time when the birds are busy eating, and there will be more birds at this time. Now is the time when spring plowing is busy. Master, can you let me know if I know?"
"It's okay. You help me put down the clamp, and I'll help you press the roller. It won't be a problem."
"It doesn't work even with a good clip in the light. I still have to walk the bird. Can you do it?"
"My brother and I used to catch birds when I was young. Now, can't you just tell me how to walk the birds?"
Monroe looked very confident, looking at Haizi with a flushed face and smiling. However, Haizi did not dare to look directly at Monroe, and her heartbeat was a little faster. However, Haizi still felt very comfortable and happy with the fragrance wafting from Monroe.
