The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

"Then I didn't say anything wrong, right?" Yan Lao Er tried hard to think back, what did he chatter with others.

"No." Yan Yu admired her father's point of view, and watched a lot of heart-to-heart talks with others, and perfectly avoided all important things.

"When dealing with these people, you have to be careful. If you miss a sentence, it will be troublesome." Yan Laoer said again: "I don't know if Gu Feng has any fellow villagers from us. If there is..."

Yan Yu stopped supporting the raft, and pulled back the wooden pole and put it on the raft.

The speed of the raft slowed down instantly.

Blending with the current, drifting away leisurely.

"Father, aren't we stupid? We want to rely on that little medicine to save people, but we are overthinking our abilities, and it's a drop in the bucket, is it all about us?"

Second Yan sighed.

He knew that the child, like him, had this matter on his mind, and it was not easy to get over it.

"Dabao! We can use as much strength as we can..."

Yan Yu interrupted him: "Father, I know, I understand the truth, I understand everything."

I just feel bad.

Life is like nothing.

Go with the flow.

Ordinary people can't decide their own lives.

Why did they appear outside Gufeng City? Because those people, like my own family, came from famine!

I couldn't survive in my hometown, so I came out, trying to find a way out for myself and my family.

"But Dad, too many people died." Their first impression of Gu Feng was the cart after cart of corpses.

There are also people who are still being carried aside when they reach the outside of the city.

I heard from the yamen servant named Shi Shu that they not only buried it this time in the morning, but also went there later, not once a day, but several times a day...

How many people would have to die?

In many cases, dead bodies are just an adjective to describe a tragic picture.

But Yan Yu couldn't help but wonder if such a scene would really happen in front of him if no one collected the corpse.

Obviously, they have already come to Guanzhou, avoided the drought, and it seems that they will be like their own family, resettled and rooted here, and start a new life.

Everything is defeated by disease.

What's even more ridiculous is that the disease is not incurable.

Just look at the stark contrast between Huju City and Gufeng City.

If you think about it carefully, you can naturally think of the difference.

where?

People are different!

The people in charge are different, and the people who work under them are different, and the fate of the people in a city will change drastically.

"Father, tell me, if Master Tian was in Gufeng City, would so many people still die?"

Yan Laoer thought for a while, and said pertinently: "I can't say for sure, Hujucheng can get better, not because my father is boasting, but we have a little credit for it, like our masks, let them isolate...

I went to buy medicine in the distance, and the people in our village did nothing, and went to the mountains every day...

There is also Doctor An, who dares to use strong medicine..."

"Master Arita alone is not enough, we have to work together."

Yan Yu: "Yes, but the Elder Master's decision is also very important. Dad, you have heard it too. They know the way we occupy the city. Elder Tian has already sent an official document. The prescription, we There are all the isolation methods, but they are useless, they don't need to..."

"It's still prudent not to change the prescription. Is it that difficult to arrange people separately?"

Yan Yu asked himself and answered: "It's quite difficult, we need to send more people to delineate the area for them and prevent them from wandering around.

We need to boil clear rice soup for them.

It doesn't count if they eat and drink, but they have to be clean and hygienic.

To get the right medicine, you have to figure out what kind of disease they are suffering from, and use different medicines according to their priorities, and use different medicines in several cauldrons, each of which is different..."

Yan Yu sighed leisurely: "It's so difficult!"

Second Yan didn't say a word.

He knew that the daughter was speaking ironically.

"Father, do you still remember what Uncle said?" Yan Yu's clear eyes turned to meet Yan Lao Er, who could even see his own face from inside.

He asked, "Which sentence?"

Faintly recalled.

Sure enough, his daughter repeated what Old Yan said:

"Above, he is incompetent in governing the subordinates, and below, he has no achievements. Is such an official considered good?"

Yan Yu: "Father, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the grand master of Gu Fengcheng is a good official or not.

It's just that everyone in the city points to this person's survival. Whether he is dedicated and capable is very important to the city and the people in the city! "

Yan Laoer wiped his face: "Uncle Ni's great wish is to bring peace to the people and benefit the world."

Even now, when he recalls the expression, movements, and tone of Old Yan's speech that day, he still feels emotional.

"If it were my uncle, I would definitely not let Gu Feng fall into such a dangerous situation. Even without us, I believe my uncle can figure out a way." Yan Yu's tone was firm, not because of his trust in the protagonist of the so-called world in the book , but because of the trust that they got along with Lao Yan for a long time and gradually deepened their understanding!

Yan Huaiwen, old Yan, her uncle, is a reliable person!

"Master Tian is the same. You can tell that he is a caring person just by looking at the preparations he has made for the victims!" Yan Yu's voice grew louder, as if he was competing with the green peaks on both sides in the soothing river water.

"Lord Tian didn't let the victims go hungry. What he cooked was either rice soup or porridge. He occupied the government office and even held multiple positions, but he still took good care of the victims. This is not our era. The people here are afraid of officials. They are obedient. , obedient, especially obedient.

All they need is someone to help them out.

Even if they just give them a little possibility, they can live optimistically.

Seeing a little hope is like being illuminated in life. "

Yan Yu paused and calmed down his high spirits.

Her voice lowered: "Father, it's fortunate to have you, and fortunately we are together."

If she was alone, she would be at a loss, she would not know how to face life here.

Maybe he can survive, but it must be very different from now.

She is well protected by her parents. She is in her twenties, and like a child, she has been "gnawing on the old", whether it is materially or spiritually.

She draws more from the latter, relies on them, and draws courage and strength from them.

She can do as she pleases, because she knows that her parents will tolerate her and love her.

Dad would go crazy with her and make trouble with her, but mother would always look at her with a smile when she said disgusting words.

Yan Lao Er suddenly felt distressed.

Feel sorry for his daughter.

In fact, his eldest treasure is not a nervous child, she is very delicate and sensitive.

Looking at the laughing and joking, in fact, she can see everything clearly and knows it well.

She has no high pursuit, just wants to live a simple and happy life.

But here, in this world, this happiness is no longer simple.

If it's just that my family is doing well, and the village I'm in is good, is it good?

If his Dabao was a little more selfish and hard-hearted, he should have a good life.

But she is not!

Not really a kid.

Her thoughts were set, and the environment in which she grew up was peaceful and peaceful.

In the past, her biggest worry was how to carry her mother behind her back, and squeeze out some time to "not do business" outside of the busy study...

"Girl, don't be afraid, there is a father, and everything will be carried by him on top of him. Look at your size, even if the sky falls, you won't be able to overwhelm you." Yan Lao Er deliberately said it lightly.

He didn't know how to comfort his daughter, and it felt useless to say anything.

Because his daughter will figure it out by herself.

"Father! You go to take the imperial examination!"

Yan Yu said something that shocked Yan Laoer's jaw.

"What? Me? What?"

Yan Yu: "Fortunately, the old man from Gufeng City didn't come over today. If he came, you wouldn't be able to fool around like you were in Huju City. You'd have to kneel down to see him."

This is how people are treated.

Yan Lao Er took a few deep breaths: "I can do it, I can kneel, and it will be easy for your mother to sew me a knee later."

Yan Yu: ...

Although to adapt to this world.

Dad, you don't need to be too conscientious.

"Father, you should be more confident, and you can just come back from the test as a child student. Not only will you not have to kneel in the future, but you can also say a few words in front of the elder."

Yan Yu thinks this is particularly important.

You are a grassroots person, people don't value your opinion at all.

How could Mr. Tian in Hujucheng accept the mask so easily, and let Yan Laoer go out to buy medicine.

She thinks it has a lot to do with her uncle's status as a scholar and his job as an errand in Huju.

And watching my father interact with people every time is also very tiring.

Her father was sincere and friendly, and he didn't mind the cold face at the beginning, so he used his warm face to stick to him.

But in this classed world.

People are not judged by faces, but by clothes first.

That is, the identity of a person.

The younger brother of a scholar, he may be the younger brother of Juren, the younger brother of the Grand Master...

Does dad want to go down with younger brother?

At least, as a child?

I used to look down on him, but now I understand my uncle's good intentions.

"I don't have anything to do in front of the old man. I don't take the exam." Yan Laoer said: "Every place has its own customs. When I go to the countryside, I follow the customs. What's wrong with kneeling when I see an official? How many times can I see you? If it wasn't for the epidemic, Elder Master is not out for a stroll, I can’t even see anyone.”

Compared with kneeling and taking exams, he chose to kneel.

"Father, the exam is easy here in Guanzhou. You can just study hard. I know the progress of the elder brother's homework. The uncle said that he has no problem in passing the exam. Really, you just read the books and memorize them. It's not difficult." .” Yan Yu tried to convince him.

Yan Laoer shook his head again and again: "Don't fool me, I have already inquired clearly. It is not the case to say that the literature is not good here. Everyone has studied seriously, and it is too difficult to understand. , because there is no one to teach it, and the foundation is solid. The Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention memorized backwards, are almost the same. Just mention a sentence, and there are other words of sages, which can be recited up and down. We all know the circumstances under which it was written!"

Yan Yu didn't expect her father to inquire so carefully.

"Look at Dad, isn't it just memorization, you memorize it too, if you memorize two books a month, it will be enough for the beginning of the year."

Yan Er is still nagging: "I can do it in a few months? What is it that people study hard for several years? My daughter, your father is not a material for reading. If I can read, can you still have such a happy childhood? ? Just because I know the hardship of studying, I don't ask you so much like your mother."

Yan Yu: ...

"Father, you are so kind! It is because you are so good that we must pass the exam." Yan Yu gritted his teeth.

"Why?" Second Yan was confused.

"Think about it, if you can also be an official, how happy are the people under your command!"

Second Yan: ...

The hand was raised tremblingly, and then put down tremblingly.

"You... girl! You go, father supports you, what kind of woman is disguised as a man, and joins the army for your father, you go to take the exam for your poor old father, you can do it, no problem, father is optimistic about you."

What's all this? I'm afraid his Dabao is crazy, but he actually wants him to be an official. Why don't he let him go to heaven!

Dressing up as a man... Do you think she didn't think about it? Even if she couldn't pass the test of verifying her integrity, she couldn't pass the household registration check.

"Father, look, Uncle Liang is just a boy, Mr. Tian even let him be the household book, it's so good to work in the yamen, go out to be awe-inspiring, and have extra money, uncle's filial piety, and other things The income is quite a lot." Yan Yu's small eyes rolled around.

Yan Laoer is not fooled: "I can still earn money at home, and now my income has steadily surpassed that of your uncle."

"What about social status?"

"What about your uncle, he is a scholar, and I am the younger brother of a scholar, no one looks down on me."

"Anyone who has it is better than one who has it!"

"That's my elder brother, we have no separation, what's his is mine.

What happened to his light on me? I don't do evil either. "

"Father! If you want your voice to be stronger, you have to stand at a higher position."

"It's enough to have your uncle. He stands tall. You can find him for whatever you want."

"Father! You are my father!"

"Your uncle is an uncle, and your uncle is also your father. They are also your old father. You can respect him like you love your father."

Yan Yu: ...

Hey! This is not convincing, is it?

"Father, didn't you say that we have to do some things by ourselves. Others can't do it, and uncle can't do it either. This is the case with this medicine. What you can think of, and what I can think of, are all with the help of others."

"Give me some time, let me think about it, and I don't believe it anymore. To do this, you have to work in a government office, become an official, and take an exam..." Yan Laoer said angrily: "I won't, I will definitely be able to do it." Figure out a way!"

Yan Yu: ...

His father is generally not stubborn, this is how much resentment and...fear he has for studying!

...

The closer we got to Changping, the more boats on the river gradually increased.

There are small boats, flat boats, and people who support rafts like them.

Seeing their strange raft, I couldn't help but take a second look.

The current in this section is getting faster and faster, and it is inconvenient for a child like Yan Yu to support the pole in front of people.

Only Yan Er can do it by himself.

Fortunately, just adjust some directions, simply stroke twice, without much effort.

Yan's second son did something similar.

After doing this for another hour, I saw a bustling pier in the distance.

On the edge of the pier, there are large and small boats, which seem to be messy, but are actually tied to the shore in an orderly manner.

Yan Lao Er leaned over the pole carefully.

The yelling became louder and louder.

"That raft over there, lean in, lean in," someone yelled at him.

Yan Lao Er pointed to himself and asked, "Did you call me?"

"Yes, it's you, who else is there if it's not you, it's strange, where did you come from? Hurry up and come here, there's a space right here."

Two in one, change first and then change~

I want to write about the change of my mental journey, the progress of the plot is a bit slow, there are too many deletions and changes, I am always not satisfied, I am really entangled~o(╥﹏╥)o
