Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 9 Sitting in the bathtub and running away at night

Ma San is a widowed old man. If it wasn't for the help of this elder brother Yu Chengzhao, he would not have lived such a comfortable and happy life later on. He still remembers his elder brother's kindness in his heart, and he likes children very much. Ma San was very happy with the two pink and tender children. If he was not busy opening the door at this moment, he would have rushed up to hug the two children and kiss them.

With no empty hands at the moment, Ma San could only point his head as diligently as a chicken sucking rice, grinning from the corners of his mouth to his ears to express his joy and joy.

"Okay, okay, they are all good boys, good boy! Wait, Grandpa Ma San will open the door and let you in..."

There was a smile on the black and red honest face, but Ma San's hands moved faster and faster. While lowering the door panel, he didn't forget to greet him intimately, "Brother Yu led the children back a little, be careful of falling dust, and turn around, baby!" It’s not good for them to choke on ashes.”

Yu Chengzhao nodded when he heard the words, took two steps back, put down his granddaughter in his arms, and immediately said, "Brother Ma, I'll help you."

Ma San quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "No need, I'll be fine soon, I'll be fine soon."

Fearing that his elder brother would come to help, Ma San moved faster, quickly put down the door panel in his hand, stepped forward and quickly unloaded one along the ramp of the upper door panel, seeing that there was enough space, he hurriedly hugged the door panel and let it go Open the place in front of you to greet people.

"Okay, brother Yu, come in quickly with the children, the room is dark, be careful."

Amidst Ma San's worried thoughts, Yu Chengzhao walked in sideways, leading his grandson and granddaughter.

As soon as the person entered the door, Ma San, who was still holding the second door panel in his hand, took advantage of the opportunity to put the door panel in his hand on the original road, and then put on the second one, and the shop was completely dark in an instant.

Yu Su, who was led by his grandfather, heard a rustling sound in the darkness, and after a while, a faint oil lamp was lit. Through the faint light, Yu Su saw that the man holding the lamp Grandpa Ma San can finally speak with confidence.

The other party asked Yu Chengzhao with concern, "Why does Brother Yu only have two children? Where's Da Lang?"

Asked by an old friend about his eldest grandson who is still stuck in it, Yu Chengzhao sighed, "Da Lang is not in the city right now, let's send the two young ones out first."

"Hey! It's okay, the elder brother will come with the younger brother."

The matter was urgent, and he didn't talk too much. Ma San held a tall oil lamp base made of black pottery in one hand, shielded the wind with the other hand, and raised the oil lamp slightly. The aisles of my shop are full of things, so be careful with the children."

Yu Chengzhao, who followed closely behind, nodded yes, took his two grandsons tightly and followed Ma San through the winding aisle, passed through two thresholds, and finally came to the backyard behind the shop next to Yuanjiang, where he saw the man above his head. The sky still didn't stop, and when he walked straight to the stone wall, Ma San raised the lamp and pushed open the door of a low-rise hut with a brake on the right.

Yu Su was still puzzled, but only after being led in by his grandfather did he realize that this low side place was the bathing room of Grandpa Ma's family, and wondered in his heart why Grandpa brought them here, She just watched helplessly, and Grandpa Ma didn't even say hello. He put the oil lamp in his hand into the groove cut out in the stone wall, then walked to the window next to the wall, squatted down and stretched out his hand. Lift the wooden board under your feet.

"Grandpa..."

Yu Chengzhao, who was about to step forward to help, stopped, looked down at his granddaughter and asked, "What's the matter, baby?"

Yu Su withdrew the wonder in his heart, but insisted, "Grandfather, I still want to go home."

When Yu Baojia heard his younger sister say this, he didn't care about his curiosity and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I want to go home too."

Yu Cheng summoned a pair of grandchildren like this, he sighed endlessly, and stroked the tops of the two children's hair with his rough hands.

"Baby, Baojia, you are big children, you should be sensible, be obedient, be good, don't make trouble! Follow Grandpa as a guest, and when you are back at home, Grandpa will come to pick you up."

"But grandpa..."

Yu Su waited to say something before insisting, but Yu Chengzhao who had already made up his mind interrupted her.

"Don't be rude, our baby is so sensible and obedient on weekdays, he will definitely not refute Grandpa's words, he will be obedient, right?"

Seeing that his grandpa even resorted to rogue methods, Yu Su also knew that there must be something wrong at home, otherwise grandpa would not have taken their siblings away overnight.

In her previous life, she watched too many small videos, novels and movies, and Yu Su saw that her grandpa insisted that she can't be a pig teammate who loses the chain at critical moments and drags her legs, right?
She fixedly looked at the firmness and intolerance that flashed in her grandfather's eyes, and finally nodded in compromise, but before she compromised, she still couldn't help asking her grandfather for a guarantee.

"Grandpa, Susu is a good baby. I'm obedient, but Grandpa has to promise, Grandpa, you must take care of yourself, be safe, and come to pick me and my second brother home, or..."

"Otherwise what?", the little guy even threatened!

Yu Chengzhao's heart was sour, funny and gratified, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to gently scratch his granddaughter's little nose, fixedly looked at his granddaughter and assured him, "Grandfather promised us my dear baby, when everything at home is settled, Ah Grandpa will come to pick up Guaibao and your second brother home."

"Grandpa promises."

"Okay, Grandpa promises."

"Pull the hook."

The little cotton-padded jacket coaxed grandpa like the adults used to coax her. Knowing that pulling the hook is useless, but now she insisted abnormally, as if only her grandpa would pull the hook with her, and grandpa would fulfill his promise, but she didn't know... …

When the grandfather and grandson pulled the hook, they didn't know that Yu Bao's family, who had been silent at the side, watched the movements of their grandfather and grandson, the light in their eyes flickered, and there was a light called seeing through, until the one who was buried in work Ma San interrupted.

"Okay, brother."

Just when the grandpa and grandson finished pulling the hook, Ma San, who was busy lifting the wooden plank on the floor, had already lifted the last plank. While patting the dust with both hands, he looked at the three of them happily.

Yu Chengzhao didn't delay anymore, and hurriedly pushed the coaxed granddaughter to the door of the second grandson, "Erlang led the younger sister to the side, and grandpa wants to help grandpa Ma San."

Instructing Yu Bao's family to take care of his younger sister, Yu Chengzhao himself quickly stepped forward to Ma San's side, and then the two of them started together.

Until the wooden floor that was lifted over there was all cleaned aside by the two old men together, revealing the sparkling water that was constantly flowing at a depth of more than ten meters between their feet;
Until the two old men finished their work, they turned around and came back to fix a big oval deep tub in the house, which looked like it was used to repair pigs during the New Year, and fixed it with the palm rope prepared by Grandpa Ma, and then Slowly put it down from the opened hole with concerted efforts;
Until I and my second brother were put into bamboo baskets by Grandpa and Grandpa Ma respectively, and slowly lowered into the bathtub;
Until Grandpa also came down along the rope, carrying a large piece of wood like a big oar, and then quickly placed it in the fixed gap at one end of the tub, and a small boat with a scull transformed instantly ;
Until Grandpa waved goodbye to Grandpa Ma San, who was lying on the top of the hole, waving at them non-stop, shaking the oar, driving the boat, and took them away from the protruding eaves and rowed to the other side of the river;
