Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 172

At dusk, the smoke from the kitchen rises.

Men and women rushed back, the sound of cattle and sheep, chickens and dogs, and the sound of sparrows on the trees by the village, it was very lively.

Of course, the most lively thing is the women's cursing.

Nanshan Village is not big, it is a small mountain village with only seventy or eighty households, but every now and then there will always be women who swear at the street.As for the content of cursing, it is always that someone has their chickens stolen today, and someone's eggs are picked up tomorrow, or the vegetables in the field are stolen.

Things like stealing chickens and dogs to pick vegetables always happen every now and then. When encountering such things, women will swear all over the village, with all kinds of swearing words, and the powerful third aunt can even swear for a whole day without repetition, of course There are also those who are stupid, such as Aunt Wu, who can only repeat those few sentences.

For the villagers, although it is a trivial matter, a chicken or a few eggs can be regarded as important family property. The eggs laid by the chicken can be exchanged for needles and thread in the market, and the chicken that lays the egg can even be hugged. Exchange some salt at the market, or if any child or old man has a headache and brain fever, if he needs to go to the doctor to get medicine, he will also rely on this to exchange for some living money.

The villagers are simple and honest, but there are always people who are idle and sneaky in the village.There are even such people in every village, not only young and young, but even some old men and women have such bad behavior.

In the past, when a woman passed by cursing the street, Luo Cheng's mother would often come out to say a few words and ask what was going on.The Luo Cheng brothers sometimes come out to watch the excitement.

But today, there was no movement in Luo's courtyard.

in the hall.

Even the fourth child who had just rushed back was wide-eyed and dazed after hearing about his father's life experience.

After a long time, Luo Cheng spoke.

"Father, even if Luo Yi is a fourth-rank general, but sooner or later I will make him repay the harm he did to father."

The third son, Siye, also said angrily, "Yes, it doesn't matter whether he is a tiger ben or a tiger tooth, whether he is a third grade or a fourth grade, but he actually bullied his father like that. As a son, I will never let him go."

"Lao San and Xiao Wu, I said this today, not to ask you to find revenge on him in the future. I originally planned not to say it for the rest of my life. But now you can be regarded as officials, and he already knows about me. Although the whereabouts are all old things, when he saw me he said he wanted to make up for me, but I don't want to have any entanglements with them, I tell you, I just hope you know about it."

"Father, the father was honored and the son was honored. The father humiliated the son to death. We will definitely keep this matter in mind. Sooner or later, we will seek justice from them."

"Let's not talk about it, it all happened decades ago. After I left Chang'an, I went all the way east, and then I met your mother."

It turned out that Luo's father and Luo's mother had privately ordered for life and eloped.

It's no wonder that the Luo family hasn't had much contact with the Qin family for many years.

The most surprising thing is that Luo Cheng's mother didn't know that Luo Cheng's father was a noble son, even now, she only knows about Luo's father's dusty background.

If the old man hadn't told the children today, she would have thought that her husband was just a concubine who had run away from a wealthy family in Chang'an. Who would have thought that he would be the son of a county prince and even a seventh-rank guard.

"I've kept this matter from you for so many years, old lady, do you blame me?" Father Luo asked, holding Mother Luo's hand.

"What are you doing?" Luo Mu just shook her head.At the beginning, she fell in love with Father Luo at first sight because she liked his talent, and later she believed in his character, so she finally eloped with him.At that time, she didn't covet any wealth, so even if she knew that he was the son of the county prince, so what.

The fourth child sighed.

"what are you doing?"

The fourth son said regretfully, "It turns out that my grandfather was once a great general of the county. It's a pity. Aye, if you didn't take the blame for Luo Yi back then, you must be a general of Huben now. Samurai."

"You're still a rank-[-] thousand bull guard!" Luo Cheng despised the fourth child.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Today is Xiaonian, Xiaowu made up, and today our family will eat prison pills."

Father Luo is famous. Before he was born, his father Luo Rong had just joined Yang Zhong's command, naming his unborn child famous and noble, hoping that he would be rich in the future.Later, when she was really rich, she married another, and gave birth to a child named Yiheshou.

Luo Cheng rolled out the noodles and rolled out a few dumpling wrappers. His sisters-in-law thought he was too slow, so they pushed him aside.

So the two sisters-in-law rolled out the dough, and a few married sisters kneaded the dough, chopped the stuffing and made dumplings.

The men in the family were driven aside.

The old man took Luo Cheng and his brothers to kill chickens and ducks, burn the hair of pigs' heads and sheep's heads, and boil large pieces of white meat and carp.

The four married daughters and their husbands also came home early today. They sacrificed to the Kitchen God at home early, and then reunited at their husband's house.

Because now they all serve as errands in the county barracks with Luo Cheng, and they have all received rewards recently, and their pockets have bulged. When everyone comes, they all come with chickens, ducks, and preserved fruits.

As soon as the nephews and nieces got home, they called out sweetly, and then ran around with the fruit.

The atmosphere at home is indescribably joyous.

After finishing the sacrifices, Luo Cheng went back and turned around, and found that the women's dumplings were really beautiful, each of them looked like a crescent moon, and their stomachs were bulging. The two girls, the younger sister and Wang Huiniang, excitedly introduced to Luo Cheng, where are the leeks? Stuffed stuffing, where is the carrot stuffing, there are lamb stuffing, mushroom chicken stuffing, and Chinese cabbage pork stuffing, they have seven or eight kinds of fillings.

Then one hundred of each stuffing was wrapped.

"Have you finished eating?"

Luo Cheng was very surprised.

Luo's mother said on the side, "It's rare to make a package once, so I will make more. Your sisters are also coming to the house today, and there are many people."

Even though I said that, as soon as it was wrapped here, Mother Luo directed the younger sister to call Luo Cheng and the brothers over there, and then pointed to the bowls of freshly boiled water prison pills that were packed over there and said, "Here Grandma Six and some old people in the village sent it."

Grandma Liu is an old widow in her 70s in the village. She has been a widow for decades and has worked hard to raise several children all her life. There are no descendants.If it weren't for the relief from the officials and everyone in the village these years, there would be no one.

But the more she was like this, the more stable she was living, and she was over 70 in a blink of an eye, which is a rare senior birthday in the history of the village.

There are several other elderly people in the village. Some of them are not very harmonious with their children, and some are in poor health.Luo's mother used to help take care of them a lot in the past, but now that the dumplings are cooked at home, the Luo Cheng brothers send them door to door.

"Mother, I'm an official now, Captain Jiupin Lixin, it's not good for you to ask me to deliver dumplings, right?" The fourth child put on airs.

As a result, Luo Cheng glared at him, "I, a ninth-rank county captain, can give it away. If there is anything you can't give it away, go!"
