Chapter 416: Two shifts (1/2)
Chapter 416 Two Changes
Coming out of the hospital, Gu Jiao got into the little third son’s carriage and went to Liu Yisheng’s house.
Liu Yisheng’s home is as poor as ever, but he did not see Liu Yisheng sitting in the yard rubbing ears like he did several times before.
Only the dumb boy named Anu and another elderly mother were working in the front yard, one weaving baskets and the other rubbing ears.
The two recognize Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao said: ”I'm looking for Liu Yisheng, is he there?”
The old mother couldn't hear her ears, Anu pointed to a room inside.
”Thank you.” Gu Jiao thanked him, stepped into the hall, and turned back into the other hut pointed to by Anu.
This is a study room and Liu Yisheng’s bedroom. It is about the same size as Xiao Liulang’s Westinghouse and Small Clearance. The furnishings are very old and rudimentary.
There are still some tattered pieces of furniture that were picked up outside or broken by someone breaking into the house. In short, they were riddled with holes and cracks.
Liu Yisheng dressed in coarse linen, sitting behind the desk, reading the book attentively.
Gu Jiao recognized that this was the book she gave him last time.
He really started reading.
Gu Jiao didn't bother him, leaning against the door panel with her arms around her.
Liu Yisheng was immersed in the sea of books. He didn't notice Gu Jiao for a while. It was the old mother outside who accidentally knocked over a stool and made a huge collision. He was shocked and raised his head.
Then he saw Gu Jiao who was leaning on the door faintly, looking at her with a lot of time.
Generally speaking, it is very embarrassing to watch someone grabbed by the other party, and you will subconsciously look away.
Gu Jiao did not.
She was so magnanimous, she raised her eyebrows and asked: ”Is it bothering you?”
”No... it's not you.” Liu Yisheng concealed his surprise, opened the window next to him and looked out, and was relieved that he was sure that the old lady was okay.
”Why are you here?” He closed the book, and looked at his room somewhat cautiously, wondering if there was any mess in his room where people could not be seen.
Fortunately, no.
Grandma and Anu just cleaned up this morning.
”You...” He hesitated for a while, and wanted to invite the other person in, but felt that it seemed inappropriate, so he stood up and said, ”Go to the main room and sit.”
Gu Jiao nodded.
You can sit wherever you want.
Although there are two servants in Liu Yisheng's family, one is old and the other can't speak. Liu Yisheng always entertains the guests personally.
Of course, there has never been another guest in his family, and Gu Jiao is the only one.
Yuantang cannot be counted as a guest.
”Sit.” Liu Yisheng pointed to the chair and said.
Gu Jiao sat down.
A white shadow swished over and jumped onto Gu Jiao's lap. Her plump body was tufted into a fluffy ball, and she was obediently letting Gu Jiao come.
Gu Jiao poked the soft belly with her fingertips, and said amusedly: ”Do you remember me?”
This white cat was the cat that almost frightened Xiao Liulang and bumped into Princess Ning, and was caught in time by Yuantang. Yuantang saw that she liked Gu Jiao, and the white cat liked Gu Jiao, so she lied that it was nothing. The Lord’s cat, let Gu Jiao take it home and raise it.
Gu Jiao did not take it away.
Of course, Gu Jiao had guessed that it was Yuantang’s cat afterwards, and she had clearly punctured in front of Yuantang.
She thought Yuantang would take her cat back.
”You're still there.” Gu Jiao bends the corners of her lips, making her cat feel very comfortable.
Liu Yisheng watched her having fun with the white cat, and couldn’t help asking, “Since you like it so much, why don’t you take it back?”
She is afraid of cats.
This man is not afraid of heaven and earth, nor is he afraid of death, but he is afraid of cats.
Gu Jiao did not answer his words, but said: ”No, you are well raised.” After a pause, she turned to look at him, ”Don't you like cats?”
Liu Yisheng looked down and said, ”No, I like it very much. It can still catch mice. After it comes, there will be no mice in the house.”
Gu Jiao clicked on her belly: ”Are you capable of doing this?”
The white cat meowed triumphantly.
”Does it have a name?” Gu Jiao asked suddenly.
Liu Yisheng was asked.
It’s just a cat, do you need a name?
Gu Jiao actually has no experience in keeping pets, but Xiao Jingkong even has to name the seven chickens one by one, so she subconsciously thinks that this white cat must also have a name.
Liu Yisheng's face was a bit awkward.
just said that he likes to keep cats, but he didn’t even give a name to the cat’s family.
Liu Yisheng's eyes flashed, and he said, ”I have thought about it a few times, but I don't know which one is better.”
Gu Jiao looked at him: ”Let's talk and listen.”
Named Waste Liu Yisheng: ”...”
Liu Yisheng had an idea, and said: ”Or you can get one. After all, it is your cat, but it is temporarily placed in my foster care.”
”Also.” Gu Jiao nodded, thought for a moment, and said, ”Call Xiaoshi.”
There are nine sacred beasts in the family, and this one ranks the tenth.
”Okay, I'll call Xiaoshi.” Liu Yisheng had no objection at all.
”Are you here to see Xiao Shi today?” He asked, standing up to pour water on Gu Jiao.
”I came to see you too.” Gu Jiao said.
Liu Yisheng shook his hand when pouring the water, and sprinkled a drop on the table. He took the veil and wiped it off without a trace, and put the poured tea to Gu Jiao's hand: ”You are really idle.”
Gu Jiao took off the small back basket and took a few thick books from it: ”Here.”
The last time I gave Liu Yisheng was the Four Books, this time I brought the Five Classics and two arithmetic books.
is the kind with annotations, which is very suitable for self-study scholars.
”You...” Liu Yisheng stopped talking.
Gu Jiao can almost imagine what he is going to say: ”I know, you can't afford it, it's not a free book. These are Xiao Shi's food expenses. Xiao Shi is so fat, and he can eat it at first sight.”
The white cat meowed angrily.
Liu Yisheng sighed: ”You will regret it if you lose the bet.”
It would be impossible for him in this life to give Hou Baixiang.
Liu Yisheng struggled for a moment, after all he accepted the books, but he secretly wrote down the value of these books, and he will always return them to her one day in the future.
Liu Yisheng stroked the cover of the books and said: ”These books are considered to be borrowed from you. I will pay you back when I earn money.”
”It's up to you.” Gu Jiao Hun said nonchalantly, just a few books, and she didn't lack that little silver, just to take care of his extremely powerful self-esteem, she did not refuse on the spot.
Gu Jiao at this time would not know that one day after many years, Liu Yisheng really paid back the money for these books, but it was not for the money.
A book, a city.
Fully eleven, returned her half of the country.
”If you don't understand, you can ask me.” Gu Jiao saw Liu Yisheng flipping through the two arithmetic books, and said confidently and generously.
”Ah, good.” Liu Yisheng asked for advice humbly, and took out a bunch of first drafts of eight-legged essays from the room.
