Farmhouse Stone Mountain

The person in charge of the back kitchen of Qingxi Academy has been complaining for the past few days.

"Dean He, how do you solve this matter? I don't care about money, but you see, the chef cooks so much food, no one eats it, and the food can't be kept overnight. Isn't this a waste of food?"

This has been going on for several days, and there are very few people eating in the dining hall. Although there were not many before, the children who just went to school in Chunchen Hall eat in the dining hall. These days, not to mention children, even some The master didn't come to eat. If this continues, the canteen won't be able to open, so it's better to close it!

"It's been a few days, and the orders are all delivered from Shiji Building. If this continues, the kitchen will still be open?"

The word "quiet" on the paper was about to take shape. When He Junzhi heard Shi Jilou, he stopped writing suddenly...

Frowning and looking at the obsolete words written on the paper, he put down the pen and raised his head, "Students are free to eat where they eat. If there are fewer people eating, they will make fewer copies."

Mrs. Wu, who is in Little Pumpkin's class, came in and heard that what he had eaten these days was also the food delivered by Shi Ji Lou, so he said, "The food in Shi Ji Lou is good. Since the students like it, it is not impossible to cooperate with them for a long time. "

He Juanzhi glanced at him, Master Wu had already ordered a meal at Shishan, and He Juanzhi felt a little embarrassed at this glance.

Dalin came to work, and he still worked as before, and Shi Shan didn't say anything, and the monthly money that should be paid was not missing at all.

Dalin no longer laughed as much as before, but occasionally watched the new errand man in a daze when he was clearing the table.

In addition to the delivery food, Shijilou only sells roasted bait and rice noodles these days, but it is not as busy as before. The shopkeeper Huo often comes to sit in the store, and once mentioned it to Shi Shan and introduced it to him The order to help someone cook a birthday banquet was to be the cook in the past, and the price was fair.

Shi Shan agreed, and made some dishes for the birthday people to taste.

She is a very kind old lady, she has no airs at all, after tasting the taste, she is very satisfied, and she also said that she would add money to Shi Shan.The other party had a good attitude, and Shi Shan was energetic in doing things, and spent a lot of thought on making the menu for the birthday banquet.

Little Pumpkin is the most lovable kid in the academy now, except for Guan Qi who fought with him, everyone likes to pinch his fleshy little face whenever they see him.

On this day, a group of scholars Xie Deuter in the academy were gathering under a sour jujube tree in the academy.

Little Pumpkin is wearing a monkey-patterned dress with a big smiling face on the back that Dad asked her to sew. She looks so cute. She is riding on Xiaojiang's neck at the moment. "Jiang Shenghua, take the little pumpkin and go far away, I'll shake the dates down"

Little Pumpkin hugged Xiaojiang's head tightly, and smiled, "Don't go, Brother Xie, you shake it down, I'll take the jujube"

Seeing how high he climbed, Xiao Jiang also yelled, "Come down, you can beat the jujube with a bamboo pole. You climb up, and if the jujube doesn't come down later, shake yourself down."

"Drop the jujube, drop the jujube." Xie deuterium laughed loudly on the tree, shaking the jujube branch vigorously, at first a few dates fell, and then a lot fell down, Xiaojiang put the little pumpkin down, let him Go to the ground to pick it up.

Many scholars also joined in the fun and went to pick up dates under the tree.

I picked up a handful of jujube pumpkins and saw a lot of them on the ground. I was just about to tell Brother Xie Duo on the tree not to shake them, but the person who was shaking happily on the tree looked at the person who suddenly appeared in the yard, and was stunned by the tree. On, fortunately, it was stabilized, and it almost fell.

The little pumpkin looked over, saw the person, took a small step, and then took a small step, and hid behind Xiaojiang's legs: Last time my father's butt was swollen from beating, he heard my father and Grandma Mao say , Mr. asked to fight.

The scholars who were still picking up dates were startled when they saw Dean He suddenly, and hurriedly dropped the dates in their hands, and stood in a row, and the place that was still lively just now was suddenly quiet.

He Junzhi looked at the little man hiding behind Xiao Jiang, and then at Xie Deuterium who was still climbing on the tree and struggling to get down.

He Junzhi said, "Shi Shi, come here"

Little Pumpkin reluctantly walked up to him holding the jujube.

Xiao Jiang just wanted to say something, but was pulled by the scholar next to him, and said in a low voice: If you want to say it, wait until Dean He finishes speaking.

Just when all the scholars thought that the dean would severely reprimand Little Pumpkin.

"I like to eat sour dates and ask them to pick them for you. What are you doing standing so close? If a branch falls from the tree and hits you, isn't your father looking for someone to do his best?" After saying that, he raised his head and glanced at the crowd under the tree. Scholar: "With so many people picking wild jujubes, it's inappropriate for a four- or five-year-old child to join you!"

A group of scholars "..."

Shi Dafu has always remembered his wife's reminder to ease the relationship with Shi Shan, but he couldn't find a chance to put his face down, but recently he had a good opportunity.

Early in the morning, Shi Shan asked the little pumpkin to take leave of absence from the academy, pulled the little pumpkin to make it neat and tidy, took the prepared things, and the father and son went to Lishui Village.

It was old man Liu's ox cart. Shi Shan hadn't seen him for a long time since he moved to the town. The two chatted on the ox cart for a while. Old man Liu swept into a corner of Shi Shan's basket. up.

After getting off the bullock cart, Aunt Mao's family had already been waiting at the door of the house, and a group of people could just go there.

Turning over half of the hillside, I saw the small grave, all the weeds were cleaned up, and Aunt Mao came to take care of it from time to time.

Shi Shan looked at this strange yet somewhat familiar grave, where lay Shi Shan's mother, Gu Nian, today is her death day.

Take out the incense candles, paper money, some fruit snacks and a handful of white chrysanthemums in the basket and arrange them.

Aunt Mao and Yuzhen swept the grave, worked hard for a while, burned some money paper and ingots, and let Gouzi and Little Pumpkin kneel and kowtow.

Shi Shan sat by the grave, rarely quiet.

Aunt Mao sighed and took the whole family back, let the two of them talk, Little Pumpkin was going to stay with Dad, but Shi Shan told him to go back first and pick him up later, so he was reluctant Gone, before leaving, ran back to the grave to kowtow to grandma.

"Hey! Sister Gu, that was your grandson just now." When everyone left, Shi Shan was the only one left, and Shi Shan greeted the grave.

"It's the first time we met today. Let me introduce myself. My name is Shi Shan, which is the same name as your son, but I'm Shan from Shanshu. Your son met Hades earlier, so don't be angry when I say that. , I also took this body by accident, and I will treat you as my own mother when I took this body. Now I have opened a small shop in the town, the business is still good, and life is better than before, you Said that if you hadn’t died, you would be enjoying a happy life now.”

Shi Shan babbled a lot.

It was almost clear that Shi Shan kowtowed three times to the grave.

"Da Fu, Xiao Shan hasn't left yet, it's a coincidence"

Shi Shan just stood up when he heard a voice behind him, turned his head and saw that it was Shi Dafu and He Jiao.

He Jiao was supported by a maid, and she was dressed in jewels, while Shi Dafu looked at Shi Shan with his fat belly shaking, and Shi Shan's face turned cold all of a sudden.

"Knowing that today is the anniversary of Sister Gu's death, Dafu and I rushed over early in the morning, but I didn't expect Xiaoshan to be earlier than us." He Jiao said with a smile and asked the servant girl to put the paper money and incense candles they brought over.

The maid just passed Shi Shan, and Shi Shan snatched what she was carrying, and threw it at He Jiao, "The last thing she wants to see is you"

"Ah! Xiao, Xiaoshan" He Jiao didn't come to hide in a hurry, she hid behind Shi Dafu in fright and called out "Dafu" in a weak tone.

Shi Dafu was so angry that he went forward to beat Shishan, "Beast! She is your mother. I killed you white-eyed wolf. Fortunately, I thought you were ignorant and didn't care about the past with you, so I came to ease the relationship with you."

Shi Shan kicked Shi Dafu to the ground, his body as fat as a pig came to fight me, and the maid beside him screamed to help him.

"Shi Dafu, I'm too lazy to argue with you, you came here to beat me up." Shi Shan held the collar of the man on the ground, "Easy relationship? To ease the relationship, you brought this bitch here?"

"you!"

Shi Dafu just uttered a word, Shi Shan raised his hand and slapped him on the face, the sound made He Jiao who was beside him stunned.

"I slapped this slap for my mother" the words fell, and then slapped again "I slapped this slap for Shi Shan" and then immediately looked up at He Jiao.

He Jiao was frightened by his gloomy expression and took a few steps back, "...What are you going to do? Ah!"

Shi Shan went over and grabbed He Jiao's hair directly, and the red hairpin on her head fell to the ground a few times.

Shi Shan dragged the man several times to the grave, and his men pushed him down.

"Let go! Let go! Big" He Jiao, who fell on the ground, raised her eyes, and saw the words "Gu Shi" on the grave nearby, causing her to back away screaming.

Shi Shan pressed her head, and put her head against the grave, "Didn't you come to visit the grave? Ah! Just right! What do you want to say!"

"Da Fu!" He Jiao looked at the words in front of her, her face contorted with fright.

"Shi Shan, why don't you let him go?" Shi Dafu came back to his senses, stood up from the ground and pulled people away. Shi Shan suddenly raised his head, his eyes flushed, and scared Shi Dafu so that he fell to the ground. The servant girl didn't dare to come over at all.

"Did you bring my mother here on her death day? I'm not afraid of dirtying my mother's grave. I don't understand. How did Shi Dafu sleep peacefully for so many years, and you didn't wake up in the middle of the night with a fright?" Shi Shan said. With just one sentence, he hit He Jiao's head against the grave with all his strength.

Shi Dafu's expression also changed. It's not that he didn't have nightmares after Gu Nian died, but all these years have passed, and now he regrets that he shouldn't have come here. Looking at this grave, he suddenly felt a cold sweat from the soles of his feet. emerge.

"Originally you didn't come to look for me, we don't violate the river water, we have our own way, and you insisted on coming up to beat me up." Shi Shan let go of the man, and He Jiao backed away again and again, and she stopped after a long distance from the grave. Messy, like a crazy woman.

Shi Shan swept the grave with his hands, walked up to Shi Dafu in a few steps, and lowered his head, "I'm not stupid, I didn't see you looking for me before, and now I'm rushing to post it again, just because of my current shop, But let me tell you, don’t even think about it, even if I burn the store down as firewood, I won’t give it to you! It’s best not to provoke me again, before I don’t want to take revenge on you, get out quickly.”

Shi Dafu's face turned pale, and he couldn't speak a word. He realized that the son he had raised for several years was no longer what he was before. He suddenly got a little scared, stood up and took He Jiao away in a hurry.

Shishan stood still for a long time before turning around, tidying up the grave again, cleaning it up, and finally showing his big white teeth, "I'll come to see you next time when I'm free."

In the warm wind, a handful of white chrysanthemums swayed in the wind in front of the grave.

Shi Zhai, seeing the disgraced person who came home, Shi Yuelan was so angry that she took out her anger on the maid beside her, "Hmph, if you don't admit it, we will never recognize him, a vulgar husband and wife!"

Shi Wenbo was holding a book in his hand. He looked like Shi Dafu and seemed to be carved out of the same mold. His fat body would be comparable to Shi Dafu's in a few years, but his face was not as angry as Shi Yuelan's. I just muttered to myself, "His shop is probably earning more than Chuan Fu Lou every day. If I knew this, I would have persuaded my father not to drive him out. Then all the money in his shop will be ours."

The four members of the family have their own ghosts.
