Mr. Transcendence

After dismissing the three children from school, Yuan Anping felt that he must have no peace today.So I didn't go to sleep under the quilt, but made some miscellaneous noodles, and planned to try to eat pancakes.And during the period, more than ten children were tested, except for one child who was too young, less than five years old, the rest were accepted one by one.This act of delivering the children did not end until the evening.

After eating the miscellaneous grain cakes of different shapes, Yuan An lay down on the bed, remembering what Li Zi said during the day.The family at Huo Xiaohan's booth has been unlucky for eight lifetimes. He has to find a way to help each other, but first he must be able to meet the talent. "I don't know if he can eat enough these days. I don't know if Li Zi can pass the message quietly."

Yuan Anping wanted to see Huo Xiaohan, but he didn't see him coming to see him, and he didn't know if he would cause trouble if he went there rashly.So he asked Li Zi to secretly send a message to him, asking him to come to him, thinking about getting him some food.

The next day, Yuan Anping woke up unexpectedly early, and got up at dawn.

When he was just making breakfast, he heard someone knocking on the door. He thought it was someone who had come to see off the child, thinking that it was too early.When he opened the door, he saw Huo Xiaohan, holding a rag in his hand, which seemed to be a machete and a rope.

A smile immediately appeared on Yuan Anping's face, and he said enthusiastically, "You're here, come in quickly." Before Huo Xiaohan could react, he pulled him into the yard, and closed the door.

He looked at Huo Xiaohan, his face was still pale, and he was still wearing so little.

Huo Xiaohan noticed that he was looking at him, and lowered his head slightly, "Li Zi told me that you want to see me, so I..."

Yuan Anping took Huo Xiaohan's hand and walked towards the main room, "Let's go into the house first, don't blow the wind in the yard. Have you eaten yet? Even if you eat, you can eat some more with me."

Huo Xiaohan felt a little embarrassed to be held by hand, but because Yuan Anping's hand was too warm, he was reluctant to break free.After entering the house, I felt suddenly warm.

Yuan Anping asked Huo Xiaohan to sit down, then turned around to serve the meal, seeing that Huo Xiaohan didn't pay attention to his side, he made two bowls of chicken soup in the space.

Sitting on the side, Huo Xiaohan was a little apprehensive, attracted by the writing on the wall, thinking that the child who can learn calligraphy with Yuan Anping is really happy.Then I suddenly smelled a tempting fragrance, and my stomach let out a growl.He quickly lowered his head in shame.

Yuan Anping pretended not to hear, put the chicken soup on the table, brought him two rice pancakes, and stuffed the chopsticks and pancakes into his hands, "Hurry up and eat." He started to drink, but out of the corner of his eye, he paid attention to Huo Xiaohan, seeing him take a sip of the soup slowly, he felt relieved.

Huo Xiaohan ate very slowly, Yuan Anping finished a bowl of chicken soup, and he didn't drink much.

Yuan Anping looked at it and found that he was reluctant to eat it, so he hurriedly urged him, "Xiaohan, you have to drink it quickly, this soup won't taste good if it gets cold."

Huo Xiaohan raised his head, his eyes were red, "It's delicious when it's cold, I've never had such delicious chicken soup."

Yuan Anping felt sorry for him even more, and said softly, "Xiaohan, drink it while it's hot, it's good for your health."

Huo Xiaohan did it obediently, he was reluctant to eat too much in his heart, he had never been full, and food was very cherished to him.Just like pancakes in his hand, he always wants to eat less, so that he can save it for the next meal.

Yuan Anping watched Huo Xiaohan finished his meal, seeing that he really couldn't eat any more, looked at the pancake in his hand reluctantly, and smiled.Then he got up and wrapped three pancakes and two eggs for him, "You take this and eat it. Although it's not good to eat cold, it's better than starving."

Huo Xiaohan shook his head repeatedly when he saw the thing, "I don't want it, you can keep it for yourself. I... I'll just take the leftover pancake."

Yuan Anping couldn't allow him to refuse, so he just stuffed things to him, "Take it, I have a lot of food now. You also know about my admission of students, I won't be short of food in the future. Remember, there is more Come to me when you are hungry in the future, don't resist."

Huo Xiaohan didn't say anything, he wouldn't do that.

Seeing his reaction, Yuan Anping said, "Listen to me obediently. If your mother won't feed you in the future, you must find a way to find me, you know? Huh?" He just waited for the other party's response.

Huo Xiaohan nodded slightly.

Yuan Anping said: "I know you must go up the mountain to cut firewood, so I will go with you."

Huo Xiaohan quickly stopped him, "Don't go with me, it's not good if people see it. If my mother finds out, she will ask you to extort something. Moreover, they are thinking about how to let you get rich and expensive to practice calligraphy, and they don't want to Come out with something good."

Yuan Anping was speechless after listening for a while, "Everyone in your family is... You are really unlucky to have such a family."

Huo Xiaohan pursed his lips, "It's only my fault."

Yuan Anping cut out, "What shit is bad, I can only blame your family for being too cruel. There are many women with dystocia in this world, and I have never seen a woman like your mother desperately saying that her child beats her parents."

Huo Xiaohan didn't know what to say, he felt that what Anping said was right, but he was being scolded all the time that he was violating his parents and family, and he himself believed it a little bit.

Huo Xiaohan said: "Actually, my second sister-in-law is quite nice to me."

Yuan Anping obviously didn't believe it, "Why is she treating you so well?"

Huo Xiaohan, "She never scolded me, never beat me, and sometimes helped me with some work. In fact, the second sister-in-law is also a poor person, because she only gave birth to Qingqing, she has never been liked by her mother, and even her second brother complain."

Yuan Anping sighed, "It's still because she is not your family."

Huo Xiaohan was too aware of his family's temperament, so he had nothing to say, "I have to chop firewood, don't come with me."

Yuan Anping glanced at his hands, "Wait a minute." Then he went into the bedroom and took out the frostbite ointment he had prepared. The ointment was packed in a small bamboo tube, which he asked Li Zi for.He also cut off a decent dress from the original owner, made several pieces of cloth, and he came out with something, "There are some plasters in this bamboo tube, which are used to treat frostbite. Wrap it in a cloth. But you still need to wash these cloths carefully." Before he could refuse, he stuffed it into the rag bag he brought, and said, "Remember to apply the medicine. Also, later If you are hungry, come to me, don't carry it hard."

Being cared for by others, Huo Xiaohan was very warm-hearted, he couldn't help but put a smile on his face, and said yes with a smile.

Huo Xiaohan worked for a day and was very tired, but he was very happy in his heart.In the evening, the rest of the family ate in the main room, while he, his second sister-in-law and Qingqing ate in the kitchen.They were given three small pancakes, porridge so thin that the bottom of the bowl could be seen, and a small half bowl of radish vegetables, most of which was still water.Even so, he used to be so hungry that he was like eating delicious food in the world, but he couldn't get enough to eat at all, and he relied on drinking water to carry him.

Huo Xiaohan saw that the second sister-in-law had broken some pancakes for Qingqing, and he was drinking the porridge with his head down, thinking about whether to take out the pancakes.Of the three pancakes and two eggs that Yuan Anping wrapped for him, there are still two pancakes and one egg left.Although he was willing to give Qingqing the eggs, but the egg smell was too obvious, and he was afraid of being smelled by others.He thought for a while, and took out a pancake, "Sister-in-law, this is for you." The pancakes made by Yuan Anping are not like his home's thin pancakes. Although the pancakes Yuan Anping gave are ugly, they are big enough thick enough.

Yuanshi was surprised when he saw the pancakes that Huo Xiaohan took out, and quickly looked outside the kitchen, but found no one, then asked in a low voice, "Where did you get this?" , If you want to steal it, there is no way.

Huo Xiaohan asked her to eat it, and replied in a low voice, "Someone gave it to me."

Yuanshi broke apart the pancake and gave half of it to Huo Xiaohan, and then told his daughter, "Qingqing, don't tell anyone, do you understand?"

Qingqing nodded obediently, she would not tell anyone, otherwise her mother and uncle would definitely be beaten.

Yuanshi broke apart the pancakes, soaked them in hot water, shared some with his daughter, and started to eat quickly, worried that someone would come to the kitchen.

Huo Xiaohan also ate very quickly, the three of them finished eating the pancakes before they felt relieved.

Yuanshi felt very comfortable after eating, and then asked Huo Xiaohan in a low voice: "Xiaohan, who gave you this pancake, I seem to have added a lot of white flour when eating it. Is it because someone has taken a fancy to you?"

Huo Xiaohan shook his head quickly, his face was a little red, he lowered his head and whispered: "It's not like that, he just pities me."

Seeing him like this, Yuan Shi sighed in his heart, both of them are suffering people.She didn't have a good life when she was a child, and it was even more sad to come to this family because she couldn't have a good life.But in comparison, his little uncle's life is more difficult.

In the main room here, they were talking about Yuan Anping's recruitment of people to practice calligraphy.

Huo Xiasheng picked up chopsticks and put vegetables in the bowl, "I heard that Yuan Anping took in more than a dozen children today, and I found out that Yuan Anping has taken in 24 children. The married women in our village, they listened. According to the news, some of them sent their children here, and Yuan Anping took most of them. You said that Yuan Anping is really true, and it’s fine to teach the children in our village, but why did he even accept those from other villages.”

Huo Yangsheng snorted, "Why can it be? It's not because you want to collect more things. You don't know that Li Mo and the others despised Yuan Anping when they mentioned Yuan Anping, saying that he was overthinking his abilities, misleading his disciples, and not worthy of learning the words of a sage. Anyway, there are a bunch of them, and I really hate them." Then she turned to look at her mother, "Mother, when do you think we will send the wealth over?"

Mrs. Liu wiped her mouth, "Don't worry, didn't he say five days? I'll go and find out what everyone sent, and then we will add up the total, so we can't let him take too much advantage."

Huo Yangsheng thought it was a good idea, so he raised his hand to pick up chopsticks for his son, but Huo Fugui looked disgusted, "I'm tired of eating radishes every day." Then he smiled sweetly and looked at his grandma, "Grandma, Next time, scramble an egg for me."

Huo Ronghua, who was being taken care of to eat, also clamored for eggs.Mrs. Han also helped out, "Mother, if you don't make two eggs for these two children, they haven't had much meat for a long time. Besides, rich people have to learn to read. If they eat better, they will become smarter and learn better; Ronghua This child is too young, look at this little face and skinny, you feel so sorry for me." Han thought to herself, if she cooks it for her son, she can have a bite by the way, and she wants to eat eggs so badly.

Huo Xiangxiang, who was paying attention to eating and sleeping, snorted when she heard her sister-in-law's words, but she also said coquettishly to the mother sitting beside her with a smile on her face, "Mom, I want to eat eggs too. I’ve been eating radishes for the past few days, and my face is not as good as it used to be.” In fact, besides her two nephews, she has the rosiest complexion in this family.

Huo Xiasheng, who was on the sidelines poking around in the bowl with chopsticks, said: "I don't care how much you want, anyway, as long as you eat eggs, you must have my share."As for Huo Dayu, he didn't say anything, the only difference was that he didn't have the opportunity to speak.As for the so-called head of the family, Huo Laohei, he never expressed his opinion.

Seeing that the ones talking were her beloved youngest son, precious daughter, and her lovely little grandson, Mrs. Liu made a final decision, "Okay, three eggs tomorrow."

Huo Xiasheng thought it was too few when he heard it, "Fry two more, three are not enough. Mother, I know you have saved 38 eggs."

Liu scolded with a smile: "You prodigal son, it's really easy for your mother to save those eggs. You can fry up to four."

Huo Xiasheng saw that this was his mother's limit, so he didn't say anything.Thinking about eating eggs tomorrow, the whole family is very happy.

The main room was full of fun, and Huo Xiaohan, who had to do all kinds of work in the kitchen after eating, heard someone calling him when he was washing the pots and dishes when it was just getting dark.

Yuanshi, "It's like a boy from the Li family, go out and see what he wants from you."

Huo Xiaohan wondered if it was Yuan Anping who asked Li Zi to send a message to him, so he went out with anticipation.

When Huo Xiaohan went out, he found Li Zi standing far away from his door waiting for him, so he happily ran over.

Huo Xiaohan asked expectantly, "What do you want from me?"

Li Zi glanced at Huo Xiaohan, thinking that Yuan Anping would really find him a job.But who told the other party to be his husband, and he had bullied Huo Xiaohan before, so if he helped him, it would be considered as compensation for him.

Li Zi stuffed him with a small bag of things, directly expressing his intention, and he whispered: "Brother Anping asked me to give it to you. That's right, Brother Anping asked me to bring you some food every night. Our two toilets Isn’t it close? When it gets dark, I’ll pretend to be a cuckoo in our yard, and you’ll use the excuse to go to the toilet, and I’ll bring you food at that time.”

Huo Xiaohan hesitated for a moment, "Why don't you tell Yuan Anping not to bring me food."

Li Zi said impatiently: "Why are you so troublesome? It's a great thing for someone to deliver food to you. It's silly for you to refuse. Don't worry, Brother Anping has collected a lot of things these two days. Those people In order to send the child to practice calligraphy, he sent all eggs and white flour to him, and he even took two chickens, not to mention miscellaneous noodles. Don’t worry, he has enough to eat. That’s it, I’m leaving .” Then he ran into his house.

Huo Xiaohan was stunned for a while, Yuan Anping treated him too well, he couldn't bear it.

When Yuanshi saw him coming back, he was a little absent-minded, so he asked, "Is Li Zi bullying you again?"

Huo Xiaohan shook his head, "No. He came to me... to ask me where I usually gather firewood."

Huo Xiaohan's room is in the utility room, on a hard plank bed that can only accommodate him alone, there is a quilt that has been patched a lot.

At night, he put down the hot water he secretly took.Close the door from the inside, and wash your hands and feet carefully by a pile of guys lit at the base of the room.He took out the bamboo tube and stared at it for a while, carefully applied a thin layer on the frostbite of his hands and feet, rubbed it constantly, then wrapped his hands and feet with the clean cloth strips he kept.He took the quilt and put it on his body, and took out the small package that Li Zi gave him from his arms.It was wrapped in paper, but when he opened it, it turned out to be white sugar.These white sugars weighed less than half a catty, and Huo Xiaohan cried softly after watching them.After crying, he wiped away his tears, took out the egg from his bosom, and put it in the fire.Hold the mattress and roast it next to the fire.

After the fire was extinguished, Huo Xiaohan lay on the bed, peeled off the hot eggs, and ate them with some sugar.He felt that it was his good fortune to have someone treat him well, and he should not disappoint Yuan Anping's kindness.Finally, he carefully wrapped the sugar and stuffed it into the pocket of his underwear.In order to hide some food, he always secretly sewed some pockets inside his clothes, which are just right for him now.
