Fengqi Youth Tour
Chapter 5 Change
Ye Yangming pulled Ren Changfei to speed up his pace and trot to catch up with the person in front. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hu Niancheng is really you, that's great, I feel more at ease with you here." Hu Niancheng said slowly Turning slowly, Ye Yangming was stunned. He said in disbelief: "Hu Niancheng, why are you so skinny and why did you tie a cloth strip on your forehead and hurt yourself? I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought I would never see you again in this life." It's your turn." Hu Niancheng forced a smile and said, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen you, and you've made this appearance. By the way, what about Wen's mother and daughter, didn't they come to the capital with you?" Seeing people’s hearts is something I’ve only realized until now, so I won’t mention them. Just now I didn’t notice why you bought so many radishes. I remember that you don’t seem to like radishes very much. Did something happen?” Hu Niancheng Said: "Don't you know that this year's radish harvest is bumper? The radishes of the vegetable farmers can't go out and have to be sold cheaply, and I don't have much money so I can only buy radishes. Do you have a place to live in the capital? If not, tell me Let's squeeze together. It's not easy these years. Ah, I didn't notice why you brought a child with you?" Hu Niancheng said with a surprised expression, Ye Yangming said: "Someone asked me to take care of him on the road, I see He was pitiful and took him in." Hu Niancheng smiled and said, "It's rare that Young Master Ye shows love, but I still don't quite believe that you didn't get any benefits from taking him in. Are you that kind of person?" She stared at him fixedly. Ye Yangming looked at it, and Ye Yangming couldn't help but said: "Well, I admit that I took some money from others, but I also have a conscience, okay, I will never be greedy for his mother's money. Do you mean Ren Changfei?" As he said that, he turned his head and asked Ren Changfei beside him, he nodded and said: "Big brother is not greedy for my mother's money but he asked me to change my name, I don't want him to explain the reasoning in a long way." Hu Niancheng smiled Said: "Ren Changfei" people are often sad, "Ye Yangming, can you not be unlucky if you bring your bad luck with you? After all, I am not much better." Then she said to Ren Changfei: "Your name is too unlucky, we are all like this It’s unlucky to call you Chang Bei Chang Bei every day. How about this? My sister will come and give you a nickname, and we will call you a nickname in the future.” Ren Changfei said unwillingly: “No, the name is your mother. I won’t change it if I get it.” As he said, he turned to the side, Ye Yangming shrugged to Hu Niancheng and said helplessly: “You see, this guy is more stubborn than a cow, so don’t waste your words, let’s go back to where you live, I’m hungry Dead." Hu Niancheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Ren Changfei: "Now I will be your mother and Ye Yangming is your father. Now I will give you a nickname. It will be no problem. But what name to choose, it still hurts to think about it. Brain." Unexpectedly, Ren Changfei shouted: "I don't want you to be my mother, I only have one mother, you are not forever and I will never admit it." Hu Niancheng was frightened by his overreaction, she hurriedly said : "Well, it's fine if you don't want to, but you must get a nickname. I'm so embarrassed now that I can't hear the word "sorrow" all day long. I've decided that your nickname from now on will be Xiaoluotou. I would like to eat stewed radishes without bones at night." As she said that, she turned and left, Ye Yangming coaxed Ren Changfei in a good voice: "It's okay to choose a nickname if you are obedient, if you are not obedient, you will be hungry and have no food at night. "Ren Changfei touched his stomach and hesitated for a while and said: "Okay, but my name is also Ren Changfei, you must not forget. "Ye Yangming said: "Don't worry, how can I forget my own life, it is just beginning to experience sadness for a long time. "As he spoke, he dragged Ren Changfei to chase after Hu Niancheng.
When Ye Yangming and Xiaoluotou returned to Hu Niancheng's so-called residence, they found that she only rented a small dilapidated tile-roofed house, and Ye Yangming couldn't walk. broken place.Hu Niancheng saw his thoughts, and she comforted him: "If you want to open something, it's time, thank God if you have a place to stay, and if you hurry up and find a job, maybe you can earn money soon I can afford a big house." Ye Yangming said confidently: "That's because of the ability of my young master Ye family, they are rushing to give me a job, it's not that I'm bragging, wait for me to make a lot of money, and I will give it to you two as soon as possible Change to a big house and live in the most expensive food." Hu Niancheng shook his head with a smile and said, "I know you are high-minded, son, his father will come in first and drink some water before continuing to blow." She took out the key and opened the door and walked in, Ye Yangming went in Seeing that there was only one bed, he asked depressedly: "Hu Niancheng only has one bed that looks so old, how do you let me sleep? And where do you and Luobotou sleep?" Hu Niancheng put down the vegetable basket in his hand and sat on the bed, saying: " Wrong, I will sleep on this bed. I haven’t set up your bed yet, but don’t worry. It’s not dark yet. Now I’ll go wash the dishes and prepare the rice.” Ye Yangming and Xiaoluotou also sat down and said doubtfully "It's not that you let me sleep on the ground with Luobotou, he's still a child, how can he bear the cold weather!" He said to Xiaoluotou, "Luotou called her mother, and asked mother to let Daddy sleep with you on the bed." Luobotou shook his head and said: "Don't call her mother, I have a mother, and I don't call her mother when she sleeps on the floor." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "Seeing that there is no son so strong, you should learn to be a father and be obedient. Didn’t I just say that I’ll find some wooden boards to build a bed for you father and son to sleep on, so you don’t have to worry about sleeping on the floor.” Ye Yangming said again: “Then do you think it’s appropriate for us to live in the same room, I’m not even married I’m at a disadvantage.” Hu Niancheng opened his eyes wide in shock and said, “Sleeping in the same room with me is still a disadvantage to you? Although I’m not as good-looking as before, maybe no one will like me anymore, and maybe I won’t get married and have children, but I have a son. Yeah, although he hasn't admitted yet, I will let him admit me. I don't understand why you will suffer. But don't worry, there will be a curtain between us. As long as you are honest, you can't suffer. "Ye Yangming is still reluctant because he has long heard that Hu Niancheng has nocturnal excursions, and he heard that once she committed nocturnal excursions and a person ran to the grave to sleep all night.Ye Yangming felt scared when he thought about it, but he had to be patient when he was in trouble. Hu Niancheng thought he agreed when he saw that he didn't speak, and said, "It's fine if you want it. If you are not what you used to be, just be patient. One day things will get better. "Ye Yangming said helplessly: "I see, by the way, what did you mean by those words just now, what happened to you after we left?" Hu Niancheng said with a sigh of relief: "It's hard to say, now I just want to tell you briefly, At that time, after you left, I led the bearded man to a small forest, and then they chased us, and we fought. You know, I am a person who is not light or heavy. I maimed one of them and severely injured two of them. After the beating, I wanted to chase you, but the world is not as simple as I thought. I was wanted in the name of deliberately hurting people. Later, I was chased by them all the way. One rainy night, I accidentally slipped and rolled down the hillside. In the process, I was bitten by a poisonous insect on the left forehead. This is not the end They also caught me. So I spent two months in the prison. During the time I stayed in the prison, I tried to use my kung fu to force out the poison, but God didn't want to see me like this. I accidentally went crazy Afterwards, there was a scar on my forehead and I couldn’t practice martial arts anymore. In short, I’m not much different from a useless person now.” As she spoke, her voice was a little choked up, her eyes were a little red, and Ye Yangming also felt uncomfortable. He comforted her and said, “Don’t worry. , from now on you have me, I will not let you two suffer, believe me." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "Okay, I will rely on you from now on, the child's father. Let me cook for you first " She stood up and was about to go out with a vegetable basket, Ye Yangming asked: "Where is the kitchen, why didn't I see it?" Hu Niancheng said: "I originally set it up by myself, and it's just a few steps to the right around the house "Ye Yangming said: "Oh, you go, I can't help you, I'm waiting for your good news here." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "Okay, just wait." After Hu Niancheng left, Xiaoluotou suddenly said: "Big Brother, she seems very pitiful, she almost cried just now." Ye Yangming said: "Yeah, thinking about how objective Hu Niancheng was before, now he is a little more sad, in fact, life is so ruthless, who can be happy all his life. You If you sympathize with her, you will be her son in the future, otherwise she may not have a son, you will be good and give her a pension in the future, do you know?" Little Luobotou remained silent.
The next morning, after eating porridge, Ye Yangming said to Hu Niancheng: "Little Hu, I'm going out today to find a job. You just wait for my good news. I can earn more money before long." I will make a comeback in a while, and you just wait to enjoy the blessings!" Hu Niancheng smiled and said, "Just brag and wait until you have a job, I don't expect to rely on you to support me. Just find the right one and don't aim too high. "Ye Yangming said to himself: "You look down on me, Hu Niancheng? I'm the young master of the Ye family. I know Confucius and Mencius very well. Just watch how I can show my skills in this big capital! Let's go, I'll show you tonight." Buy delicious food and stop eating radishes." He stood up, straightened his clothes and walked outside with his head upright, little luobotou said, "Sister, big brother, is he okay? Why do I think he can't?" Hu Niancheng said: "What's your name? My sister is my mother. I still count on you to take care of me in the future. Ye Yangming is just a fledgling boy who doesn't know how deep the water is. He won't understand until he hits a wall. Of course, it's good to have self-confidence. Yes, but too much self-confidence becomes arrogance, which is harmful to making a living. Well, you just stay at home and let your mother go out to work. When you come back in the evening, I will fry shredded radish for you. Look after your mother-in-law and then go out." Little Luobotou said stubbornly: "You are not my mother, no." Hu Niancheng stood up with a smile and said: "One day you will admit that we are destined to be a family, well, I really have to go and watch the door."
Ye Yangming felt very comfortable walking on the street full of people coming and going, he pulled the wrinkled clothes on his body and said to himself: "How can I not find a decent job with my talent? How deep it can be, I, Ye Yangming, will let you see, how can I, a well-educated young master, not be able to play." As he spoke, he straightened his back even more, and his face overflowed with an expression of certainty.Half an hour later, he came to the gate of the yamen because he had just heard from two yamen servants walking by him on the way here that Mr. Lu in the yamen was ill and Mr. Fu Yin was looking for a younger master.Ye Yangming thought in his mind at that time: "Master, it's good that people from the public family have some face in it, so it's decided that I will become a master and maybe I can climb up and be a governor for fun." Thinking of it Here he couldn't help but get excited, so he quickly came to the gate of the yamen.He explained his purpose to the two yamen guards standing guard at the door, and they let him in. As soon as he turned around and left, one of the yamen guards laughed at him and said, "See if he wants to be a teacher for our adults? It's so arrogant. If you want me Look, he is that mud that can't support the wall." The other also echoed him: "Yes." But Ye Yangming murmured as he walked: "A dog's eyes look down on people, and when I get rich in the future, you want to carry my shoes. Not worthy." With this confidence that he must win, he quickly came to the government office and saw Mr. Lu, who was about to abdicate, sitting there with gray hair and a serious expression on his face.Ye Yangming didn't know why he felt a little nervous, and he didn't know where his previous confidence went.He respectfully said to Mr. Lu: "You must be Mr. Lu. The junior Ye Yangming is here to apply for the recruitment. I hope Mr. Lu will give you some advice." Mr. Lu said to him expressionlessly: "Oh, Mr. Ye, please Sit down." Ye Yangming said nervously: "Okay, thank you!" After he sat down, Mr. Lu said, "Mr. Ye is so young, why does he always take the position of this master? Doesn't Mr. Ye want to take part in the imperial examination for an official job? "Ye Yangming was really not ready for how to answer this question, but he thought he had learned something and still had a few drops of ink in his stomach, so he said, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Lu, of course this junior has this idea, and he really thinks about it." Take a certain official position." Master Lu continued to ask: "Then why do you want to be this master?" The old man kept looking at him, and Ye Yangming didn't know how to answer for a while, he thought to himself: "If I say Forced by life to come to this position, will he think that I will not do my best if I am not here? Let’s fool him first before he has a job to do.” Thinking of this, he said unhurriedly: “It’s like this, Mr. Lu, I want to come and feel what it’s like to be in the officialdom before taking the imperial examination, of course I also want to Stealing some teachers, I want to learn how adults solve cases, and maybe I can use them in the officialdom in the future." Mr. Lu's face softened a little and Ye Yangming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Lu asked again: "Mr. Ye I am very relieved to be old-fashioned, but ambition is not enough, young master should know that many things are much more complicated than imagined, such as the human heart." Ye Yangming nodded and said: "Yes, I know." Mr. Lu said again Said: "That's very good, now the old man will ask you some questions, so as to know whether you are suitable for this position." Ye Yangming said with a little empty heart: "Okay, if you have anything to say, just ask the junior, Mr. Lu, you will know everything and say everything. Exhausted." Mr. Lu said: "Okay, may I ask if you know what is "five hearings", what is "supplication" and what is "eight discussions"?" Ye Yangming was stunned, he had never learned these things, Hu The old scholar just taught him to read the Tao of Confucius and Mencius all day long, and never mentioned any laws and regulations. At this moment, he was a little disheartened.Mr. Lu saw that he couldn't answer and said, "It's understandable that you don't know these things, Mr. Master, but I'm afraid that the position of Mr. Master is not suitable for Mr. Mr. You should make someone high." Ye Yangming knew what he meant, and he didn't want to be ashamed again. Now he had no choice but to say bitterly: "The junior understands that Mr. Lu will have a date later." He got up and wanted Mr. Lu to make a bow, turned around and left.
Frustrated by this, Ye Yangming's confidence began to shake a bit. In fact, when the Wen family's mother and daughter abandoned him, he also felt his own incompetence, but his innate sense of superiority and pride soon made him forget his shortcomings. He had to reflect on himself on this matter.Walking through the crowded streets, he felt that he was getting smaller and smaller, like a solitary sail in the vast sea, no one would notice and he might capsize at any time.But the burden of survival made him have to comfort himself: "It's okay, I'm the dignified young master of the Ye family. If I can't do this job, it doesn't mean that I can't find other decent jobs. He is a great person to me. I want Believe in yourself." At this point, he began to ask people about decent jobs, and most of the people who were asked showed contempt for him when they saw his shabby clothes, but he finally found out that there was a private school nearby. A teacher.As soon as he got the news, he began to feel happy for no reason, and he said excitedly again: "It's really God who opened his eyes and finally let me meet, this time I have to take good care of it." As he said, he strode towards the private school and waited. When he went to the private school, he saw a strong atmosphere of studying inside, and all the students he saw gave him a sense of reading poetry and books.He felt a little stage fright and thought: "It looks good, is it just me who can do the job? What should I do, should I go in or not? I've already shamed my face in the yamen just now, and now I have to throw it away again?" Thinking of this, he Unknowingly, he took a few steps back. Thinking of the Haikou he boasted in front of Hu Niancheng, he felt that it would be too shameful not to just go back.But he was also afraid that he was not capable enough and people would laugh at him. He was very conflicted and wanted to bite the bullet and enter, but he was afraid of losing face and wanted to turn around and leave, and he was unwilling to do so.At this time, he remembered Hu Niancheng's words, she said that she was right when she just came out and didn't know how deep the water was. Thinking of this, he was very chilled. He didn't know that he had studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius for so many years, but now he couldn't even find a job to earn a living. He thought: "Should I really put down my body and do coolies? No, how can I, a handsome young master, do such a thing that looks at people's face and loses value. There will be a way, God will not be so cruel to me, I believe .” Thinking of this, he hesitated again and again, but reluctantly turned and left.
When the wind picked up and the drizzle was swaying, Ye Yangming tightened his clothes and crossed his arms.He was a little frustrated. He felt that there were many things he couldn't do. At the same time, he was also a little confused. He never thought that one day he would be able to abandon his so-called face and dignity to survive and give a job to do what he used to do. The sense of superiority and pride is collapsing bit by bit.But at this time he was not able to completely let go of his self-esteem, he thought while walking: "I can't just go back like this, they will laugh at me, why am I so sad, why no one knows how to appreciate my talent, no, I must find it I’ll go back after my job.” As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the road ahead, and suddenly saw a small group of people gathered in front of him. He pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the front, only to see a notice for a housekeeper posted in front of the majestic gate. He said gratifiedly: "If you can't be a master, you can't be a husband. It's not a shame to be a housekeeper of a big family. I'm the housekeeper of your young master's house. I still know how to do things. I'll do the work. God, after all, you are really good to me. Not bad." Thinking of this, he puffed up his chest and walked in full of confidence. Someone in the crowd said: "You see, he looks like a prodigal, and he has the nerve to be a housekeeper for others. It's just a daydream." Someone said: "That's right. Like a dude."
Ye Yangming was led by a Xiaosi through the gate and walked all the way to the hall. He saw a garden that was bigger than his original home. Many of the precious flowers and plants he had heard his mother said were planted in it. Many of them were planted by his mother. I haven't found it all my life, and even if I found it, I can't afford it.After passing the garden, you can see the rockery. The mountain is covered with green vines, and the whole looks natural without any trace of carving.Ye Yangming felt more and more empty. He began to worry about how a person like himself could play in such a magnificent place. He began to get nervous and his palms were pinched with sweat.In this panic, Ye Yangming was taken to the hall, where he met Fang An, the owner of the house.This man looks like a rich man, and his body is slightly fat. His eyes give people a kind and amiable feeling. Ye Yangming is a little relieved.After Xiaosi stepped back, Fang An slowly said, "My lord, introduce yourself." Ye Yangming was most afraid of others doing this, he felt that if he talked about himself too well, he would be suspected of being a self-proclaimed lady. If he was too modest, wouldn't he be useless? , So he mustered up the courage to ask boldly: "Mr. Fang, do you mind if I answer this question in a different way?" Fang An was a little surprised and thought: "This person is interesting, so let me give him a try." So he Asked: "Why do you want to change the way?" Ye Yangming replied: "That's right, I'm afraid I didn't get to the point. But it may be better for Fang Yuanwai to ask me to answer. I personally like this way. " Hearing what he said, Fang Yuanwai understood in his heart that the person in front of him didn't even know how to evaluate himself.He had already made a decision in his heart, but he still said politely: "Okay, then may I ask the name of the young master, what kind of work have you done?" Ye Yangming has been the young master of the Ye family since he was a child. When he got yellow, his mentality became casual, and he said casually: "If you go back to Fang Yuanwai, my name is Ye Yangming. I haven't done any work before. When I'm at home, I always watch others work." Fang Yuanwai understood For these things, he thought to himself: "This man is a prodigal son. He came out to look for work when his family was ruined and he couldn't survive. How can I use my house for such a person? Ye Yangming, where did you come from? Go back to where I am." I don't like you." Thinking of this, he said to Ye Yangming very tactfully: "Mr. Ye, you are very good-looking, and you will have a good future in the future. Unfortunately, you have no experience and are so young. I'm afraid it's not suitable for my son because of the complicated affairs of my family. You should find another job." Ye Yangming fell to the bottom of the valley when he was rejected so euphemistically for the first time. He pretended not to care and said, "Okay, I see. Thank you Fang Yuanwai, then I'm leaving." In this way, Ye Yangming stepped out of Fang Zhai's sense of superiority and pride. At this moment, he was sad but forced himself to smile and said to himself: "It's okay, Mr. Ye Yangming One day you will make a comeback, and then all those who look down on you will give you envious eyes..." His eyes began to turn red as he spoke.
When I got back to the place where I lived, it had already started to get dark, Ye Yangming's clothes and hair were a little wet, Xiaoluotou heard footsteps and ran out of the house to meet him.Ye Yangming raised his hand to wipe the raindrops on his face, forced a smile and said to him: "Is your mother back yet?" Little Luobotou said: "She is not my mother, big brother, I know my sister is very pitiful, but I can't forget myself My mother." Ye Yangming said: "Your boy is considered affectionate and righteous, but you will have to recognize this mother one day, so tell your brother what are we going to eat today?" Xiaoluotou said angrily: "Carrot, sister said Carrots are cheap and we have no money so we can only eat radishes. I don’t like to eat radishes, brother, can you tell my sister that I don’t want to eat radishes.” As he spoke, he acted like a baby to Ye Yangming, who sighed and said, “Hu Niancheng, Hu Niancheng eats radishes every day Do you think that my young master is so poor that he can only afford radishes, and I tell you that I, Ye Yangming, will make a comeback one day sooner or later." The little luobotou looked at what he said excitedly and said with high spirits: "Brother, you have to go and tell me what you said. Elder sister said that you are here to say that he can't hear you, but elder brother, you should go quickly! The radish is about to be served again." Ye Yangming thought that he lived with Hu Niancheng and ate her food and used her food to give him advice, he said with a smile: " My sister won't listen to my brother, you are good, you go over and call her mother, maybe she will cook us other dishes when she is happy." Little Luobotou stood still, Ye Yangming said: "I know you don't want to, okay My brother will mention it to him when we are at the table for dinner." Little Luobotou said happily, "Brother is so nice, the meal should be almost ready, let's wash our hands and wait to eat."
At the dinner table, Ye Yangming kept watching Hu Niancheng's face. Seeing that she seemed unhappy, he didn't dare to mention the change of dishes. Xiaoluotou reminded him: "Brother eats vegetables." He said the word "vegetables" very strongly, Ye Yangming pretended not to hear and continued to eat.Hu Niancheng finally said: "You don't want to eat radishes anymore?" Ye Yangming raised his head and nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are still understanding." Xiaoluotou also said: "Sister, we want to eat something else." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "It's ok, I'll tell you to eat something else for you." Little Luobotou kept silent, and Hu Niancheng continued: "Forget it, I have such a dignified appearance, how could you be willing to be my son and take care of me until the end of my life, but You asked me to cook other things on a conditional basis, that is, Yang Ming will go to the Changle Inn to do handyman for me tomorrow to earn money to support the family, do you agree?" Ye Yangming immediately refused: "No, I am also the young master of the Ye family, how can I It’s so embarrassing to be a handyman, how can I explain to my ancestors when I die in the future, I would rather eat radishes for the rest of my life than go.” The little radish showed a helpless expression, and Hu Niancheng said: “Okay, let’s eat stewed radishes with vegetables tomorrow and cold radish the day after tomorrow Si Da will still eat dried radishes the day after tomorrow." Ye Yangming was really afraid of radishes, so he had to compromise and said, "Okay, I'll go to work as a handyman, to disgrace my ancestors." As he spoke, he pushed him against the dining table and did not speak, Hu Niancheng had already Expecting him to say this with a smile: "Yang Ming, I know you're not feeling well, but I can't help it. I can't afford three mouths alone. Besides, it's not shameful to be a handyman. We've all fallen into this situation. It's worthless. Filling the stomach is the most important thing." Ye Yangming said sadly: "I know, but I am a person who has studied for so many years and failed to be proud of the examination room but was reduced to a handyman. I am unwilling and can't let go of my dignity. Now I I feel that I am a tragedy. I have read all the books for so many years and nothing will change. If I knew it would be like this, I might as well eat, drink, and have fun. Why do you suffer and suffer all day long? Talking on and on, now that I think about it, I regret it." Hu Niancheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, imitating her father's pedantic tone and comforting him: "Yang Ming, you are wrong, it is still useful to study more. Although it may not bring you money and cannot be realized, it can cultivate your sentiment, Yang Ming, here Hu Niancheng wants to tell you a word, that is, if you read too much, it will also encourage people to aim high, and a real man should If you can bend and stretch, don't care too much about other people's eyes, you will starve to death." After she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing, Ye Yangming raised his head and gave her a white look: "Is it so funny, isn't it just a handyman? I'll go , I really grew up like a young master for nothing, but I never imagined that I was arranged by God to be a handyman." Hu Niancheng said: "That's good, then let's eat radish and stewed fish tomorrow." Ye Yangming complained: "It's still Eat radishes?" The little luotou said with a sad face, "I don't want to eat radishes anymore." Unexpectedly, Hu Niancheng said: "I didn't tell you to eat radishes, but you are not satisfied with me eating radishes and eating fish?" The two said in unison: "satisfy."
The next morning, after breakfast, Hu Niancheng dragged Ye Yangming to the Changle Inn, the fat shopkeeper saw his appearance and frowned and said to Hu Niancheng: "Little Hu, I'm afraid your friend can't do it! "Hu Niancheng patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper. My friend has practiced running up and down, and it will be fine." Then she asked Ye Yangming: "Yang Ming, you are the most powerful, aren't you?" "Ye Yangming nodded unwillingly and said: "Yes, I am the best handyman." The fat shopkeeper still didn't believe it, so he asked Ye Yangming to try it. At this moment, a guest came in from the door.The fat shopkeeper said to him: "The opportunity to perform has come and seize it." He grabbed the rag from Hu Niancheng's shoulder and put it on Ye Yangming's shoulder and said: "Go, remember to smile when you see people and be enthusiastic, understand?" Ye Yangming walked over in embarrassment without saying a word. He stood in front of the guests and raised his head embarrassedly for fear that others would recognize him. The guests were a little angry when they saw him shrinking. High-class guest room?" Ye Yangming lowered his voice and said, "Yes." As he spoke, he unconsciously raised his hand to cover his face, and the fat shopkeeper saw this scene and pointed at Hu Niancheng and said, "Xiao Hu, this is what you call a good handyman Good running hall? I think he is just a puddle of mud that can't support the wall, forget it, let him go." Ali came over to take over Ye Yangming's work and took the guests to see the room. Hu Niancheng begged him: "Shopkeeper, do you think this is good? Okay, can you let him chop firewood in the backyard, so that you can pay him less monthly money?" The fat shopkeeper thought to himself after hearing her say this: "I really don't have enough manpower to chop firewood because of my busy business. Strength work, this young man has practiced strength at least. The most important thing is that I can pay him less. This business can be done." So he said to Hu Niancheng: "Little Hu, I only let him stay for your sake. Work hard and don't let me down, you know." Hu Niancheng smiled perfunctorily and said, "Thank you shopkeeper, I will definitely work hard and never be lazy." The fat shopkeeper left satisfied, Ye Yangming blamed her and said: "Hu Niancheng, I am also the young master of the Ye family, you sold me so cheaply?" Hu Niancheng said solemnly, "Sell you? Are you worth it? How much is face worth? Besides, who here knows your Ye family?" Young master, it's embarrassing, it's still a question of whether people recognize your face or not. What are you looking at, hurry up and go to work and remember to hold the ax tightly, or your hands will easily get blistered." As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to Ye Yangming and said He took off the rag on his shoulder and walked upstairs, Ye Yangming muttered: "You are dignified, not like you were thick-skinned when you were young."
Ye Yangming recalled the past and stayed up all night again. Soon the cock crowed. Hu Niancheng slowly got up and said to him softly: "Are you thinking too much? I told you the past, let it go. Think about how to get rid of it." Living a good life is the real thing now, in fact, everyone has a past, you have to learn to let go, only let go of you can let go of the so-called dignity and face, they are scumbags in the face of survival is our god, of course morality I can't forget it." Ye Yangming said: "Thank you, Xiao Hu, fortunately you have been here all these years. What I will never forget is that you were willing to take me in and encourage me to survive when I was most frustrated. If no one is willing in the end Marry you, I will marry you." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "Wrong, I was scolding you. And I don't disgust you with my ugly appearance. I have a son. When will you marry a wife? I will bless you." Ye Yangming said: "Hu Niancheng is that Hu Niancheng is so strong at all times, I will not live in vain with you as my bosom friend in this life." Hu Niancheng said: "Learn to be sensational, just sleep well Let me help you with the work in the store and I will go back later." Ye Yangming said: "Thank you." Hu Niancheng shook his head, then lay down and slept for a while before getting up to cook porridge and then go to the inn.
Ye Yangming pulled Ren Changfei to speed up his pace and trot to catch up with the person in front. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hu Niancheng is really you, that's great, I feel more at ease with you here." Hu Niancheng said slowly Turning slowly, Ye Yangming was stunned. He said in disbelief: "Hu Niancheng, why are you so skinny and why did you tie a cloth strip on your forehead and hurt yourself? I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought I would never see you again in this life." It's your turn." Hu Niancheng forced a smile and said, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen you, and you've made this appearance. By the way, what about Wen's mother and daughter, didn't they come to the capital with you?" Seeing people’s hearts is something I’ve only realized until now, so I won’t mention them. Just now I didn’t notice why you bought so many radishes. I remember that you don’t seem to like radishes very much. Did something happen?” Hu Niancheng Said: "Don't you know that this year's radish harvest is bumper? The radishes of the vegetable farmers can't go out and have to be sold cheaply, and I don't have much money so I can only buy radishes. Do you have a place to live in the capital? If not, tell me Let's squeeze together. It's not easy these years. Ah, I didn't notice why you brought a child with you?" Hu Niancheng said with a surprised expression, Ye Yangming said: "Someone asked me to take care of him on the road, I see He was pitiful and took him in." Hu Niancheng smiled and said, "It's rare that Young Master Ye shows love, but I still don't quite believe that you didn't get any benefits from taking him in. Are you that kind of person?" She stared at him fixedly. Ye Yangming looked at it, and Ye Yangming couldn't help but said: "Well, I admit that I took some money from others, but I also have a conscience, okay, I will never be greedy for his mother's money. Do you mean Ren Changfei?" As he said that, he turned his head and asked Ren Changfei beside him, he nodded and said: "Big brother is not greedy for my mother's money but he asked me to change my name, I don't want him to explain the reasoning in a long way." Hu Niancheng smiled Said: "Ren Changfei" People are often sad, "Ye Yangming, can you not be unlucky if you bring your bad luck with you? After all, I am not much better." Then she said to Ren Changfei: "Your name is too unlucky, we are all like this It’s unlucky to call you Chang Bei Chang Bei every day. How about this? My sister will come and give you a nickname, and we will call you a nickname in the future.” Ren Changfei said unwillingly: “No, the name is your mother. I won’t change it even if I get it.” As he spoke, he turned to the side, Ye Yangming shrugged helplessly at Hu Niancheng and said, “You see, this guy is more stubborn than a cow, so don’t waste your words.
When Ye Yangming and Xiaoluotou returned to Hu Niancheng's so-called residence, they found that she only rented a small dilapidated tile-roofed house, and Ye Yangming couldn't walk. broken place.Hu Niancheng saw his thoughts, and she comforted him: "If you want to open something, it's time, thank God if you have a place to stay, and if you hurry up and find a job, maybe you can earn money soon I can afford a big house." Ye Yangming said confidently: "That's because of the ability of my young master Ye family, they are rushing to give me a job, it's not that I'm bragging, wait for me to make a lot of money, and I will give it to you two as soon as possible Change to a big house and live in the most expensive food." Hu Niancheng shook his head with a smile and said, "I know you are high-minded, son, his father will come in first and drink some water before continuing to blow." She took out the key and opened the door and walked in, Ye Yangming went in Seeing that there was only one bed, he asked depressedly: "Hu Niancheng only has one bed that looks so old, how do you let me sleep? And where do you and Luobotou sleep?" Hu Niancheng put down the vegetable basket in his hand and sat on the bed, saying: " Wrong, I will sleep on this bed. I haven’t set up your bed yet, but don’t worry. It’s not dark yet. Now I’ll go wash the dishes and prepare the rice.” Ye Yangming and Xiaoluotou also sat down and said doubtfully "It's not that you let me sleep on the ground with Luobotou, he's still a child, how can he bear the cold weather!" He said to Xiaoluotou, "Luotou called her mother, and asked mother to let Daddy sleep with you on the bed." Luobotou shook his head and said: "Don't call her mother, I have a mother, and I don't call her mother when she sleeps on the floor." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "Seeing that there is no son so strong, you should learn to be a father and be obedient. Didn’t I just say that I’ll find some wooden boards to build a bed for you father and son to sleep on, so you don’t have to worry about sleeping on the floor.” Ye Yangming said again: “Then do you think it’s appropriate for us to live in the same room, I’m not even married I’m at a disadvantage.” Hu Niancheng opened his eyes wide in shock and said, “Sleeping in the same room with me is still a disadvantage to you? Although I’m not as good-looking as before, maybe no one will like me anymore, and maybe I won’t get married and have children, but I have a son. Yeah, although he hasn't admitted yet, I will let him admit me. I don't understand why you will suffer. But don't worry, there will be a curtain between us. As long as you are honest, you can't suffer. "Ye Yangming is still reluctant because he has long heard that Hu Niancheng has nocturnal excursions, and he heard that once she committed nocturnal excursions and a person ran to the grave to sleep all night.Ye Yangming felt scared when he thought about it, but he had to be patient when he was in trouble. Hu Niancheng thought he agreed when he saw that he didn't speak, and said, "It's fine if you want it. If you are not what you used to be, just be patient. One day things will get better. "Ye Yangming said helplessly: "I see, by the way, what did you mean by those words just now, what happened to you after we left?" Hu Niancheng said with a sigh of relief: "It's hard to say, now I just want to tell you briefly, At that time, after you left, I led the bearded man to a small forest, and then they chased us, and we fought. You know, I am a person who is not light or heavy. I maimed one of them and severely injured two of them. After the beating, I wanted to chase you, but the world is not as simple as I thought. I was wanted in the name of deliberately hurting people. Later, I was chased by them all the way. One rainy night, I accidentally slipped and rolled down the hillside. In the process, I was bitten by a poisonous insect on the left forehead. This is not the end They also caught me. So I spent two months in the prison. During the time I stayed in the prison, I tried to use my kung fu to force out the poison, but God didn't want to see me like this. I accidentally went crazy Afterwards, there was a scar on my forehead and I couldn’t practice martial arts anymore. In short, I’m not much different from a useless person now.” As she spoke, her voice was a little choked up, her eyes were a little red, and Ye Yangming also felt uncomfortable. He comforted her and said, “Don’t worry. , from now on you have me, I will not let you two suffer, believe me." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "Okay, I will rely on you from now on, the child's father. Let me cook for you first " She stood up and was about to go out with a vegetable basket, Ye Yangming asked: "Where is the kitchen, why didn't I see it?" Hu Niancheng said: "I originally set it up by myself, and it's just a few steps to the right around the house "Ye Yangming said: "Oh, you go, I can't help you, I'm waiting for your good news here." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "Okay, just wait." After Hu Niancheng left, Xiaoluotou suddenly said: "Big Brother, she seems very pitiful, she almost cried just now." Ye Yangming said: "Yeah, thinking about how objective Hu Niancheng was before, now he is a little more sad, in fact, life is so ruthless, who can be happy all his life. You If you sympathize with her, you will be her son in the future, otherwise she may not have a son, you will be good and give her a pension in the future, do you know?" Little Luobotou remained silent.
The next morning, after eating porridge, Ye Yangming said to Hu Niancheng: "Little Hu, I'm going out today to find a job. You just wait for my good news. I can earn more money before long." I will make a comeback in a while, and you just wait to enjoy the blessings!" Hu Niancheng smiled and said, "Just brag and wait until you have a job, I don't expect to rely on you to support me. Just find the right one and don't aim too high. "Ye Yangming said to himself: "You look down on me, Hu Niancheng? I'm the young master of the Ye family. I know Confucius and Mencius very well. Just watch how I can show my skills in this big capital! Let's go, I'll show you tonight." Buy delicious food and stop eating radishes." He stood up, straightened his clothes and walked outside with his head upright, little luobotou said, "Sister, big brother, is he okay? Why do I think he can't?" Hu Niancheng said: "What's your name? My sister is my mother. I still count on you to take care of me in the future. Ye Yangming is just a fledgling boy who doesn't know how deep the water is. He won't understand until he hits a wall. Of course, it's good to have self-confidence. Yes, but too much self-confidence becomes arrogance, which is harmful to making a living. Well, you just stay at home and let your mother go out to work. When you come back in the evening, I will fry shredded radish for you. Look after your mother-in-law and then go out." Little Luobotou said stubbornly: "You are not my mother, no." Hu Niancheng stood up with a smile and said: "One day you will admit that we are destined to be a family, well, I really have to go and watch the door."
Ye Yangming felt very comfortable walking on the street full of people coming and going, he pulled the wrinkled clothes on his body and said to himself: "How can I not find a decent job with my talent? How deep it can be, I, Ye Yangming, will let you see, how can I, a well-educated young master, not be able to play." As he spoke, he straightened his back even more, and his face overflowed with an expression of certainty.Half an hour later, he came to the gate of the yamen because he had just heard from two yamen servants walking by him on the way here that Mr. Lu in the yamen was ill and Mr. Fu Yin was looking for a younger master.Ye Yangming thought in his mind at that time: "Master, it's good that people from the public family have some face in it, so it's decided that I will become a master and maybe I can climb up and be a governor for fun." Thinking of it Here he couldn't help but get excited, so he quickly came to the gate of the yamen.He explained his purpose to the two yamen guards standing guard at the door, and they let him in. As soon as he turned around and left, one of the yamen guards laughed at him and said, "See if he wants to be a teacher for our adults? It's so arrogant. If you want me Look, he is that mud that can't support the wall." The other also echoed him: "Yes." But Ye Yangming murmured as he walked: "A dog's eyes look down on people, and when I get rich in the future, you want to carry my shoes. Not worthy." With this confidence that he must win, he quickly came to the government office and saw Mr. Lu, who was about to abdicate, sitting there with gray hair and a serious expression on his face.Ye Yangming didn't know why he felt a little nervous, and he didn't know where his previous confidence went.He respectfully said to Mr. Lu: "You must be Mr. Lu. The junior Ye Yangming is here to apply for the recruitment. I hope Mr. Lu will give you some advice." Mr. Lu said to him expressionlessly: "Oh, Mr. Ye, please Sit down." Ye Yangming said nervously: "Okay, thank you!" After he sat down, Mr. Lu said, "Mr. Ye is so young, why does he always take the position of this master? Doesn't Mr. Ye want to take part in the imperial examination for an official job? "Ye Yangming was really not ready for how to answer this question, but he thought he had learned something and still had a few drops of ink in his stomach, so he said, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Lu, of course this junior has this idea, and he really thinks about it." Take a certain official position." Master Lu continued to ask: "Then why do you want to be this master?" The old man kept looking at him, and Ye Yangming didn't know how to answer for a while, he thought to himself: "If I say Forced by life to come to this position, will he think that I will not do my best if I am not here? Let’s fool him first before he has a job to do.” Thinking of this, he said unhurriedly: “It’s like this, Mr. Lu, I want to come and feel what it’s like to be in the officialdom before taking the imperial examination, of course I also want to Stealing some teachers, I want to learn how adults solve cases, and maybe I can use them in the officialdom in the future." Mr. Lu's face softened a little and Ye Yangming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Lu asked again: "Mr. Ye I am very relieved to be old-fashioned, but ambition is not enough, young master should know that many things are much more complicated than imagined, such as the human heart." Ye Yangming nodded and said: "Yes, I know." Mr. Lu said again Said: "That's very good, now the old man will ask you some questions, so as to know whether you are suitable for this position." Ye Yangming said with a little empty heart: "Okay, if you have anything to say, just ask the junior, Mr. Lu, you will know everything and say everything. Exhausted." Mr. Lu said: "Okay, may I ask if you know what is "five hearings", what is "supplication" and what is "eight discussions"?" Ye Yangming was stunned, he had never learned these things, Hu The old scholar just taught him to read the Tao of Confucius and Mencius all day long, and never mentioned any laws and regulations. At this moment, he was a little disheartened.Mr. Lu saw that he couldn't answer and said, "It's understandable that you don't know these things, Mr. Master, but I'm afraid that the position of Mr. Master is not suitable for Mr. Mr. You should make someone high." Ye Yangming knew what he meant, and he didn't want to be ashamed again. Now he had no choice but to say bitterly: "The junior understands that Mr. Lu will have a date later." He got up and wanted Mr. Lu to make a bow, turned around and left.
Frustrated by this, Ye Yangming's confidence began to shake a bit. In fact, when the Wen family's mother and daughter abandoned him, he also felt his own incompetence, but his innate sense of superiority and pride soon made him forget his shortcomings. He had to reflect on himself on this matter.Walking through the crowded streets, he felt that he was getting smaller and smaller, like a solitary sail in the vast sea, no one would notice and he might capsize at any time.But the burden of survival made him have to comfort himself: "It's okay, I'm the dignified young master of the Ye family. If I can't do this job, it doesn't mean that I can't find other decent jobs. He is a great person to me. I want Believe in yourself." At this point, he began to ask people about decent jobs, and most of the people who were asked showed contempt for him when they saw his shabby clothes, but he finally found out that there was a private school nearby. A teacher.As soon as he got the news, he began to feel happy for no reason, and he said excitedly again: "It's really God who opened his eyes and finally let me meet, this time I have to take good care of it." As he said, he strode towards the private school and waited. When he went to the private school, he saw a strong atmosphere of studying inside, and all the students he saw gave him a sense of reading poetry and books.He felt a little stage fright and thought: "It looks good, is it just me who can do the job? What should I do, should I go in or not? I've already shamed my face in the yamen just now, and now I have to throw it away again?" Thinking of this, he Unknowingly, he took a few steps back. Thinking of the Haikou he boasted in front of Hu Niancheng, he felt that it would be too shameful not to just go back.But he was also afraid that he was not capable enough and people would laugh at him. He was very conflicted and wanted to bite the bullet and enter, but he was afraid of losing face and wanted to turn around and leave, and he was unwilling to do so.At this time, he remembered Hu Niancheng's words, she said that she was right when she just came out and didn't know how deep the water was. Thinking of this, he was very chilled. He didn't know that he had studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius for so many years, but now he couldn't even find a job to earn a living. He thought: "Should I really put down my body and do coolies? No, how can I, a handsome young master, do such a thing that looks at people's face and loses value. There will be a way, God will not be so cruel to me, I believe .” Thinking of this, he hesitated again and again, but reluctantly turned and left.
When the wind picked up and the drizzle was swaying, Ye Yangming tightened his clothes and crossed his arms.He was a little frustrated. He felt that there were many things he couldn't do. At the same time, he was also a little confused. He never thought that one day he would be able to abandon his so-called face and dignity to survive and give a job to do what he used to do. The sense of superiority and pride is collapsing bit by bit.But at this time he was not able to completely let go of his self-esteem, he thought while walking: "I can't just go back like this, they will laugh at me, why am I so sad, why no one knows how to appreciate my talent, no, I must find it I’ll go back after my job.” As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the road ahead, and suddenly saw a small group of people gathered in front of him. He pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the front, only to see a notice for a housekeeper posted in front of the majestic gate. He said gratifiedly: "If you can't be a master, you can't be a husband. It's not a shame to be a housekeeper of a big family. I'm the housekeeper of your young master's house. I still know how to do things. I'll do the work. God, after all, you are really good to me. Not bad." Thinking of this, he puffed up his chest and walked in full of confidence. Someone in the crowd said: "You see, he looks like a prodigal, and he has the nerve to be a housekeeper for others. It's just a daydream." Someone said: "That's right. Like a dude."
Ye Yangming was led by a Xiaosi through the gate and walked all the way to the hall. He saw a garden that was bigger than his original home. Many of the precious flowers and plants he had heard his mother said were planted in it. Many of them were planted by his mother. I haven't found it all my life, and even if I found it, I can't afford it.After passing the garden, you can see the rockery. The mountain is covered with green vines, and the whole looks natural without any trace of carving.Ye Yangming felt more and more empty. He began to worry about how a person like himself could play in such a magnificent place. He began to get nervous and his palms were pinched with sweat.In this panic, Ye Yangming was taken to the hall, where he met Fang An, the owner of the house.This man looks like a rich man, and his body is slightly fat. His eyes give people a kind and amiable feeling. Ye Yangming is a little relieved.After Xiaosi stepped back, Fang An slowly said, "My lord, introduce yourself." Ye Yangming was most afraid of others doing this, he felt that if he talked about himself too well, he would be suspected of being a self-proclaimed lady. If he was too modest, wouldn't he be useless? , So he mustered up the courage to ask boldly: "Mr. Fang, do you mind if I answer this question in a different way?" Fang An was a little surprised and thought: "This person is interesting, so let me give him a try." So he Asked: "Why do you want to change the way?" Ye Yangming replied: "That's right, I'm afraid I didn't get to the point. But it may be better for Fang Yuanwai to ask me to answer. I personally like this way. " Hearing what he said, Fang Yuanwai understood in his heart that the person in front of him didn't even know how to evaluate himself.He had already made a decision in his heart, but he still said politely: "Okay, then may I ask the name of the young master, what kind of work have you done?" Ye Yangming has been the young master of the Ye family since he was a child. When he got yellow, his mentality became casual, and he said casually: "If you go back to Fang Yuanwai, my name is Ye Yangming. I haven't done any work before. When I'm at home, I always watch others work." Fang Yuanwai understood For these things, he thought to himself: "This man is a prodigal son. He came out to look for work when his family was ruined and he couldn't survive. How can I use my house for such a person? Ye Yangming, where did you come from? Go back to where I am." I don't like you." Thinking of this, he said to Ye Yangming very tactfully: "Mr. Ye, you are very good-looking, and you will have a good future in the future. Unfortunately, you have no experience and are so young. I'm afraid it's not suitable for my son because of the complicated affairs of my family. You should find another job." Ye Yangming fell to the bottom of the valley when he was rejected so euphemistically for the first time. He pretended not to care and said, "Okay, I see. Thank you Fang Yuanwai, then I'm leaving." In this way, Ye Yangming stepped out of Fang Zhai's sense of superiority and pride. At this moment, he was sad but forced himself to smile and said to himself: "It's okay, Mr. Ye Yangming One day you will make a comeback, and then all those who look down on you will give you envious eyes..." His eyes began to turn red as he spoke.
When I got back to the place where I lived, it had already started to get dark, Ye Yangming's clothes and hair were a little wet, Xiaoluotou heard footsteps and ran out of the house to meet him.Ye Yangming raised his hand to wipe the raindrops on his face, forced a smile and said to him: "Is your mother back yet?" Little Luobotou said: "She is not my mother, big brother, I know my sister is very pitiful, but I can't forget myself My mother." Ye Yangming said: "Your boy is considered affectionate and righteous, but you will have to recognize this mother one day, so tell your brother what are we going to eat today?" Xiaoluotou said angrily: "Carrot, sister said Carrots are cheap and we have no money so we can only eat radishes. I don’t like to eat radishes, brother, can you tell my sister that I don’t want to eat radishes.” As he spoke, he acted like a baby to Ye Yangming, who sighed and said, “Hu Niancheng, Hu Niancheng eats radishes every day Do you think that my young master is so poor that he can only afford radishes, and I tell you that I, Ye Yangming, will make a comeback one day sooner or later." The little luobotou looked at what he said excitedly and said with high spirits: "Brother, you have to go and tell me what you said. Elder sister said that you are here to say that he can't hear you, but elder brother, you should go quickly! The radish is about to be served again." Ye Yangming thought that he lived with Hu Niancheng and ate her food and used her food to give him advice, he said with a smile: " My sister won't listen to my brother, you are good, you go over and call her mother, maybe she will cook us other dishes when she is happy." Little Luobotou stood still, Ye Yangming said: "I know you don't want to, okay My brother will mention it to him when we are at the table for dinner." Little Luobotou said happily, "Brother is so nice, the meal should be almost ready, let's wash our hands and wait to eat."
At the dinner table, Ye Yangming kept watching Hu Niancheng's face. Seeing that she seemed unhappy, he didn't dare to mention the change of dishes. Xiaoluotou reminded him: "Brother eats vegetables." He said the word "vegetables" very strongly, Ye Yangming pretended not to hear and continued to eat.Hu Niancheng finally said: "You don't want to eat radishes anymore?" Ye Yangming raised his head and nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are still understanding." Xiaoluotou also said: "Sister, we want to eat something else." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "It's ok, I'll tell you to eat something else for you." Little Luobotou kept silent, and Hu Niancheng continued: "Forget it, I have such a dignified appearance, how could you be willing to be my son and take care of me until the end of my life, but You asked me to cook other things on a conditional basis, that is, Yang Ming will go to the Changle Inn to do handyman for me tomorrow to earn money to support the family, do you agree?" Ye Yangming immediately refused: "No, I am also the young master of the Ye family, how can I It’s so embarrassing to be a handyman, how can I explain to my ancestors when I die in the future, I would rather eat radishes for the rest of my life than go.” The little radish showed a helpless expression, and Hu Niancheng said: “Okay, let’s eat stewed radishes with vegetables tomorrow and cold radish the day after tomorrow Si Da will still eat dried radishes the day after tomorrow." Ye Yangming was really afraid of radishes, so he had to compromise and said, "Okay, I'll go to work as a handyman, to disgrace my ancestors." As he spoke, he pushed him against the dining table and did not speak, Hu Niancheng had already Expecting him to say this with a smile: "Yang Ming, I know you're not feeling well, but I can't help it. I can't afford three mouths alone. Besides, it's not shameful to be a handyman. We've all fallen into this situation. It's worthless. Filling the stomach is the most important thing." Ye Yangming said sadly: "I know, but I am a person who has studied for so many years and failed to be proud of the examination room but was reduced to a handyman. I am unwilling and can't let go of my dignity. Now I I feel that I am a tragedy. I have read all the books for so many years and nothing will change. If I knew it would be like this, I might as well eat, drink, and have fun. Why do you suffer and suffer all day long? Talking on and on, now that I think about it, I regret it." Hu Niancheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, imitating her father's pedantic tone and comforting him: "Yang Ming, you are wrong, it is still useful to study more. Although it may not bring you money and cannot be realized, it can cultivate your sentiment, Yang Ming, here Hu Niancheng wants to tell you a word, that is, if you read too much, it will also encourage people to aim high, and a real man should If you can bend and stretch, don't care too much about other people's eyes, you will starve to death." After she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing, Ye Yangming raised his head and gave her a white look: "Is it so funny, isn't it just a handyman? I'll go , I really grew up like a young master for nothing, but I never imagined that I was arranged by God to be a handyman." Hu Niancheng said: "That's good, then let's eat radish and stewed fish tomorrow." Ye Yangming complained: "It's still Eat radishes?" The little luotou said with a sad face, "I don't want to eat radishes anymore." Unexpectedly, Hu Niancheng said: "I didn't tell you to eat radishes, but you are not satisfied with me eating radishes and eating fish?" The two said in unison: "satisfy."
The next morning, after breakfast, Hu Niancheng dragged Ye Yangming to the Changle Inn, the fat shopkeeper saw his appearance and frowned and said to Hu Niancheng: "Little Hu, I'm afraid your friend can't do it! "Hu Niancheng patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper. My friend has practiced running up and down, and it will be fine." Then she asked Ye Yangming: "Yang Ming, you are the most powerful, aren't you?" "Ye Yangming nodded unwillingly and said: "Yes, I am the best handyman." The fat shopkeeper still didn't believe it, so he asked Ye Yangming to try it. At this moment, a guest came in from the door.The fat shopkeeper said to him: "The opportunity to perform has come and seize it." He grabbed the rag from Hu Niancheng's shoulder and put it on Ye Yangming's shoulder and said: "Go, remember to smile when you see people and be enthusiastic, understand?" Ye Yangming walked over in embarrassment without saying a word. He stood in front of the guests and raised his head embarrassedly for fear that others would recognize him. The guests were a little angry when they saw him shrinking. High-class guest room?" Ye Yangming lowered his voice and said, "Yes." As he spoke, he unconsciously raised his hand to cover his face, and the fat shopkeeper saw this scene and pointed at Hu Niancheng and said, "Xiao Hu, this is what you call a good handyman Good running hall? I think he is just a puddle of mud that can't support the wall, forget it, let him go." Ali came over to take over Ye Yangming's work and took the guests to see the room. Hu Niancheng begged him: "Shopkeeper, do you think this is good? Okay, can you let him chop firewood in the backyard, so that you can pay him less monthly money?" The fat shopkeeper thought to himself after hearing her say this: "I really don't have enough manpower to chop firewood because of my busy business. Strength work, this young man has practiced strength at least. The most important thing is that I can pay him less. This business can be done." So he said to Hu Niancheng: "Little Hu, I only let him stay for your sake. Work hard and don't let me down, you know." Hu Niancheng smiled perfunctorily and said, "Thank you shopkeeper, I will definitely work hard and never be lazy." The fat shopkeeper left satisfied, Ye Yangming blamed her and said: "Hu Niancheng, I am also the young master of the Ye family, you sold me so cheaply?" Hu Niancheng said solemnly, "Sell you? Are you worth it? How much is face worth? Besides, who here knows your Ye family?" Young master, it's embarrassing, it's still a question of whether people recognize your face or not. What are you looking at, hurry up and go to work and remember to hold the ax tightly, or your hands will easily get blistered." As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to Ye Yangming and said He took off the rag on his shoulder and walked upstairs, Ye Yangming muttered: "You are dignified, not like you were thick-skinned when you were young."
Ye Yangming recalled the past and stayed up all night again. Soon the cock crowed. Hu Niancheng slowly got up and said to him softly: "Are you thinking too much? I told you the past, let it go. Think about how to get rid of it." Living a good life is the real thing now, in fact, everyone has a past, you have to learn to let go, only let go of you can let go of the so-called dignity and face, they are scumbags in the face of survival is our god, of course morality I can't forget it." Ye Yangming said: "Thank you, Xiao Hu, fortunately you have been here all these years. What I will never forget is that you were willing to take me in and encourage me to survive when I was most frustrated. If no one is willing in the end Marry you, I will marry you." Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "Wrong, I was scolding you. And I don't disgust you with my ugly appearance. I have a son. When will you marry a wife? I will bless you." Ye Yangming said: "Hu Niancheng is that Hu Niancheng is so strong at all times, I will not live in vain with you as my bosom friend in this life." Hu Niancheng said: "Learn to be sensational, just sleep well Let me help you with the work in the store and I will go back later." Ye Yangming said: "Thank you." Hu Niancheng shook his head, then lay down and slept for a while before getting up to cook porridge and then go to the inn.
Ye Yangming pulled Ren Changfei to speed up his pace and trot to catch up with the person in front. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hu Niancheng is really you, that's great, I feel more at ease with you here." Hu Niancheng said slowly Turning slowly, Ye Yangming was stunned. He said in disbelief: "Hu Niancheng, why are you so skinny and why did you tie a cloth strip on your forehead and hurt yourself? I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought I would never see you again in this life." It's your turn." Hu Niancheng forced a smile and said, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen you, and you've made this appearance. By the way, what about Wen's mother and daughter, didn't they come to the capital with you?" Seeing people’s hearts is something I’ve only realized until now, so I won’t mention them. Just now I didn’t notice why you bought so many radishes. I remember that you don’t seem to like radishes very much. Did something happen?” Hu Niancheng Said: "Don't you know that this year's radish harvest is bumper? The radishes of the vegetable farmers can't go out and have to be sold cheaply, and I don't have much money so I can only buy radishes. Do you have a place to live in the capital? If not, tell me Let's squeeze together. It's not easy these years. Ah, I didn't notice why you brought a child with you?" Hu Niancheng said with a surprised expression, Ye Yangming said: "Someone asked me to take care of him on the road, I see He was pitiful and took him in." Hu Niancheng smiled and said, "It's rare that Young Master Ye shows love, but I still don't quite believe that you didn't get any benefits from taking him in. Are you that kind of person?" She stared at him fixedly. Ye Yangming looked at it, and Ye Yangming couldn't help but said: "Well, I admit that I took some money from others, but I also have a conscience, okay, I will never be greedy for his mother's money. Do you mean Ren Changfei?" As he said that, he turned his head and asked Ren Changfei beside him, he nodded and said: "Big brother is not greedy for my mother's money but he asked me to change my name, I don't want him to explain the reasoning in a long way." Hu Niancheng smiled Said: "Ren Changfei" People are often sad, "Ye Yangming, can you not be unlucky if you bring your bad luck with you? After all, I am not much better." Then she said to Ren Changfei: "Your name is too unlucky, we are all like this It’s unlucky to call you Chang Bei Chang Bei every day. How about this? My sister will come and give you a nickname, and we will call you a nickname in the future.” Ren Changfei said unwillingly: “No, the name is your mother. I won’t change it even if I get it.” As he spoke, he turned to the side, Ye Yangming shrugged helplessly at Hu Niancheng and said, “You see, this guy is more stubborn than a cow, so don’t waste your words.
