Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 173
Sixth Grandma is over 70 years old, her hair is full of silver hair, and she feels as thin as a few dozen catties, like a straw.But people are still very energetic, living alone in a small courtyard at the head of the village.

Although the courtyard is small and dilapidated, it is very clean.

The muddy ground was as flat as a slate, and there was no dust or debris on it.

As soon as Luo Cheng approached the gate of the courtyard, the big goose raised in the courtyard immediately called out and pressed its long neck to the ground. Seeing this movement, Luo Cheng felt a little psychologically shadowed.

There are a lot of dogs in Nanshan Village, but not every family has dogs, but every family has geese.

Geese are easy to raise, and they eat when they are young, so they are easy to feed.Moreover, geese are not only easy to feed, they are also good housekeepers. If strangers want to enter the yard, they have to pass the geese first. Ordinary dogs can't even beat a big goose.

Not to mention that at night, if there is any disturbance, the geese will wake up and call loudly.

No matter when Luo Wu was a child in this world or in later generations, he was attacked by big geese when he was a child.The geese are very fierce. When attacking, they always stretch their necks long and stick to the ground.They will speed up and run straight to the opponent.Moreover, geese like to peck people's crotch most. Children wearing crotch pants will be in danger of being pecked.

The key is that the goose is very stubborn, even if you kick it over, it will immediately fight again until it chases you away in embarrassment.

"Grandma Six."

Luo Cheng hurriedly called the owner of the goose.

Grandma Six came out leaning on her roots, "Xiao Wu!"

Luo Cheng held up the dumplings, "I made some wontons at home, and my mother asked me to bring a bowl."

Grandma Six even said no.

"There are a lot of bags at home, and there are more."

Seeing Grandma Six coming out, the big goose yelled at Luo Cheng, then walked away like a victorious general.

"Sit in the courtyard and I'll return the bowl to you."

Luo Cheng followed into the courtyard, and everything was clean and tidy.

There are several geese and a flock of chickens raised in the yard.

Grandma Six also grows vegetables, and she relies on these chickens and geese. After laying eggs, she will exchange some oil and salt, and then sell the chickens that lay eggs for food when they are old. Every year, she will hatch chicks and geese by herself. Some are raised by themselves, and some are sold to needy people in neighboring villages.

It can be said that although the old man is alone, he is self-reliant.

Luo Cheng admired this very much. In my impression, she is a very clean old man, and she is always optimistic and likes children.Even if someone stole her eggs sometimes, she never came out and scolded the street.She never cries about her suffering to others, she is like a ray of sunshine, always warming others.

While Sixth Grandma was pouring out the dumplings to change into bowls, Luo Cheng took out a few packs of medicine that he had brought. The old man was getting old and had many injuries and illnesses on his body.

He knew that this medicine was good for the elderly's physical conditioning, so he bought some.

He didn't give money directly, because the old man wouldn't want money if he gave it. She is such a stubborn person, she never accepts help from others, and thinks it is a charity. She lives hard by herself, living a strong and dignified life.

"Grandma Liu, this medicine is good for your body."

"How much?" The old man asked for money after hearing this.

"Grandma Liu, when I was young, you cooked eggs for me, didn't you ask me for money? You take this medicine first, and if it works well, I'll bring it for you next time. It's not worth much. Yes. You know, I am the captain of the county now, I am an official, and I have a job at hand."

"Xiao Wu is promising, and you brothers are all promising and capable."

Grandma Six praised, but insisted on giving money.

Luo Cheng declined for a long time there.

In the end, Grandma Six still put four eggs in his bowl, "I just laid the eggs today, take them home and cook them."

Facing this stubborn little old lady, Luo Cheng had no choice but to accept it. He knew that if he didn't accept it, he might not be able to get out of the house today.

Originally, he wanted to take the old lady to have dinner with him at home, but he knew that the old lady would never go, she was always afraid of troubling others, and never burdened others.

When I got home, I found that the fourth child and the others had also returned, and the bowls brought back by everyone were filled with various things.There are snacks and dried fruits, in short, there is no empty bowl.

This can be regarded as the simple side of the villagers. Usually, whichever family makes something, they always give it to each other, and then everyone will not take it for nothing, and give it away. Home.

Eight hundred dumplings were indeed quite a lot, but this year my mother delivered them to every household in the village.

In her words, although the sons are promising now, the more they are like this, the more they have to have a good relationship with the neighbors in the village, and they must not forget their roots.Their family is not from this village, but they have settled here for more than [-] years, and everyone treats their family well.

it's getting dark.

The women in the kitchen have also made many sumptuous dishes.

Compared with previous years, this year's Luo family's New Year's Eve is particularly rich.

Chicken, duck and fish are all available, as well as half a lamb.

There are too many people in the family to sit at one table, so two tables are set up, one table for men and one table for women. The dishes are the same, and each table is full.

The dishes were still on the table, and the yard became lively.

The third uncle from the village came with a few children and brought two dried fish and one dried meat.The third uncle went to Ji County to dig a river with Luo Cheng, and captured the blue-faced ghost together when he came back. He was rewarded with a pen and renovated the yard when he came back.

Later, when Luo Cheng established the Changbai Township Corps, he dragged the third uncle over again, and now the third uncle is also a team leader of the county barracks.

"What are you doing while carrying things? Are we still interested in this?"

Father Luo said.

"My brother's family delivered it a few days ago. There are a lot of them, and we can't finish them."

It's a fake if you can't finish it, no one is rich these days, a few dried fish and meat, I'm afraid they are only willing to cut off a little bit to eat during the festival or when there are visitors.

"Third Uncle, save it for the children. Why are we being so polite? Sit down and have a drink or two."

The third uncle put the dried meat and fish aside with a smile, "Actually, the child's uncle asked me to bring these things. He wanted me to help him ask Xia Wulang if our county barracks is still recruiting, and he also wants to join." .”

"Which uncle is the child?" Luo Cheng asked.

"The child has five uncles, but the eldest uncle and the second uncle are both responsible and old. It is their three younger uncles who have not yet married. The third is twenty, and the fourth is eighteen. Old 56, I don’t have much land at home, so I wander around all day.”

"Whenever you are free, you can bring the three of them to the camp to have a look. If the conditions are suitable, you can consider it. It just so happens that our camp may have to recruit new recruits recently."

The third uncle was overjoyed when he heard that, it was difficult to ask for help, and he was even more afraid of rejection.

Over there, the courtyard door was pushed open again, but several villagers came in with their things.
