Chapter 205: Congee

Before the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Luoyang City is actually very rare to be quiet for a period of time. Whether it is the high-ranking officials living in Luoyang City, or the common people who have been busy all year round, they are all quiet. It seems that it is a year, and only such a short period of time is the time for everyone to rest.
Ye Shengge is very leisurely these days. Except for having to go to bed every afternoon, during the rest of the day, this Taoist from Shenxueshan is in the house next door with Li Xiaoxue’s mother, the woman sitting under the eaves. , Watching the heavy snow, holding the insole.
I'm afraid all the monks in the world can't believe that Ye Shengge, who is almost the first person among the young generation now, will learn how to buy insoles with a middle-aged woman in a small alley in Luoyang City. , And it seems that Ye Shengge learns very quickly, even Li Fuyao sitting in the yard next door can hear the woman's praise.
Cheng Yusheng has been here several times these days, and they are all looking for Ye Shengge, but Ye Shengge, who has put all his heart on the insole, actually doesn't pay much attention to him. This makes Cheng Yusheng always chat with Li Xiaoxue every time he comes. A small or two people often sit on the threshold and eat the fried sunflower seeds. They are bored in every way.
As for Li Fuyao, these days he still spends most of his time away from the courtyard of Ye Shengge. Occasionally, even if nothing happens, he won't run into this house, just sit quietly under the eaves and raise his sword.
It’s just that these days that Xiaoxue gets more and more excited. Every time he is taken out, the tip of the sword points to the house next door, and even makes waves of swords. In fact, anyway, Li Fuyao knows one thing, that is, Li Xiaoxue is not only practicing The talent of the sword is not low.
Even so, Li Fuyao still did nothing.
When he was bored, he rubbed his cheeks, thinking about rubbing away all the worries.
He felt that he should live simpler.
But now it's very complicated, he doesn't know if this world is too complicated or something else is complicated.
Before Ye Shengge went to the next door today, he actually had a conversation with Li Fuyao. The Taoist Shenxieshan was standing under the eaves, pointing at the heavy snow outside, and asked: "Li Fuyao, are you tired?"
Li Fuyao stood beside her at the time, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
Then Ye Shengge said something that made Li Fuyao deeply touched. In fact, the general content still can't escape one's heart. For example, if the handle Xiaoxue wants to be held by Li Xiaoxue, why don't you let it go? For example, if someone wants to tell a couple that he is their son who has lost more than ten years, why not tell?
For these words, Li Fuyao didn't say anything. In the end, he just sat under the eaves, rubbing his cheeks.
After Ye Shengge went to the house next door, Li Fuyao thought about going out. There was a middle-aged man at the courtyard gate holding an umbrella. The smiling man said he was too idle and wanted to have a chat with Li Fuyao. .
Li Fuyao went to the house and brought a bench, then after thinking about it, he also brought a pot of charcoal and placed it under the eaves. Li Fuyao sat on the bamboo chair and the man sat on the bench.
The man took out a few sweet potatoes from his arms and placed them next to the hot coals. Then he smiled and said, "Roasted sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, just eat at this time. It is meaningless to eat roasted sweet potatoes at any other time."
Li Fuyao was silent.
Just slightly squeezed the corner of the clothes.
The middle-aged man clapped his hands, smiled and asked, "Does the son have a girl he likes?"
Li Fuyao thought for a while, did not answer the question, but instead asked: "Actually, I think she has a bad temper. Haven't you been bored for so many years? Or are you used to it?"
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said carefully, "How to call it? I am used to it? In fact, I still think her temper should be better, and she should be better for the child. This is true for Fu Yao, and the same is true for Xiaoxue. . It’s just that this is just for the children. For me, this is actually the best."
Li Fuyao smiled plainly, noncommittal.
The middle-aged man smiled and stretched out his hand to burn the fire. After a long time, he said softly: "Actually, I don't say much. My previous wish was that she could live well. As for the child, I also want him to become a talent, but it is also Don’t ask for too much talent, it’s best to be a teacher, and then take a daughter-in-law, and live this life peacefully. Don’t do those dangerous jobs. His life is the most important thing. , But I didn’t have the ability and didn’t protect him well, so that he suffered these hardships, leaving him alone in a world that was not good for him to survive."
"That girl Xiaoxue is not hungry for every meal, and is not treated badly. It doesn't make sense for you to blame yourself." Li Fuyao smiled: "The world is not good, life is poorer, and the porridge and dishes can also be filled. A full stomach is alive after all, so you shouldn't ask for anything."
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Li Fuyao's calm face.
Li Fuyao bent down and stretched out his hands to turn over the sweet potatoes, otherwise the taste won't be good when they bake later.
Then he straightened up and rubbed his cheeks, "I like porridge and side dishes very much."
The middle-aged man looked sad, he didn't know what to say for a while.
"No matter how much you say, it doesn't make much difference. After all, what he has learned can't be learned with a few light words."
The middle-aged man's lips trembled, and he finally asked what he wanted to ask a long time ago, "How are these years?"
Li Fuyao looked natural, "The girl I like is far, far away from Luoyang City, has a good temper, and looks beautiful. It is not easy to see her, but I must see her. "
The middle-aged man lowered his head sadly and showed a bitter smile, "That's good, I hope you will marry her soon. If it is possible... Forget it, nothing."
Li Fuyao's expression remained unchanged, but he reached out and squeezed the corner of his clothes.
Then the middle-aged man said without beginning and ending, "Our family of four has a very good life, so there is no need for anyone to worry about food or clothing. There is still a lot of money left in a year. That girl Xiaoxue will definitely marry a good man in the future, and will leave her with a dowry at that time, and he will be more brilliant than I thought in the future. We also keep his dowry gift. The palms and backs are all meat. I can’t give preference to one of them. Anyway, we... will have a good time."
Li Fuyao smiled and said nothing.
The middle-aged man got up and said that there was still something to be done.
Li Fuyao nodded.
So he walked in the wind and snow under an umbrella, his back alone.
Li Fuyao's expression remained unchanged. After he walked out of the small courtyard, he lifted his sleeve and wiped his face.
as always.
But the sleeves were wet.
Maybe it was just contaminated with some wind and snow.
