Shanxi is the silly boy picked up by Liu Mengsheng.
When we picked him up, he was gray and dying.
Liu Mengsheng has no father or mother. He is a poor scholar with no knowledge in the village. He is neither a gentleman nor a good person. It is a problem to support himself, let alone an extra mouth.
Life or death matters, no wonder he is cruel if you don't save him.
When he turned around, the little brother gently grabbed the corner of his clothes and called him brother with an innocent smile.
Seeing that the little brother has a mind of only seven or eight years old, he must have damaged his brain. If he is left to fend for himself, he may not survive tomorrow.
Liu Mengsheng sighed, finally unable to bear it.
"I don't lack a younger brother, I just lack a wife." Liu Mengsheng said, "Since you want to leave me, you have to get married to me and stay with me for the rest of your life. What do you want?"
Shanxi didn't understand what getting married was. He only knew that by following his brother, he would not starve, so he nodded stupidly.
In this way, Shanxi was brought home, had a husband, and was no longer wandering around.
Liu Mengsheng has someone to sleep with and is no longer lonely and helpless.
From then on, the two depended on each other and lived an ordinary life of eating three meals a day for four seasons, having simple meals, farming and raising cubs.
Although life is bitter, Liu Mengsheng feels a hint of sweetness.
I thought that once this day passed, it would be a lifetime.
Unexpectedly, one day many years later, Liu Mengsheng returned home from the rural examination. The house was empty, and his husband and son had disappeared.
After searching for many days to no avail, he became alone again.
———
Three months later, I heard from the storyteller at Yipinlou in the county that the Yao'er who had been living away from home for the chief minister of the capital had been found. The young master's years of wandering around were finally over.
The gentleman showed him the portrait. When Liu Mengsheng opened his eyes, he saw that the man in the portrait was the person he had longed for on his pillow.
Liu Mengsheng took a deep breath, and the hand holding the painting couldn't stop shaking.
It just so happened that in the spring of the year, Liu Mengsheng sent his son to Beijing for scientific examination. Without thinking too much, Liu Mengsheng immediately packed his bags and embarked on the long road to find his wife.
The day when the mandarin ducks meet again, the time when the wind and cloud meet.
Shanxi felt that Liu Mengsheng looked familiar when he first saw him, so he asked, "Brother, what is your surname?"
Liu Mengsheng: "..."
Shanxi forgot about him.
HE
