meet again

Chapter 576
The children watched and picked horses in the stables, all with great interest.

After each picked out a pony, the older ones, such as Fang Dalang, Cui Dalang and Shen Miao, were very good at riding, they didn't need someone to lead the horses, they went to the Martial Arts Arena on their own.

The younger ones, such as Shen Yu and Fang Sanlang, are uncertain, thinking about this horse for a while, and wanting that pony for a while.If two people like the same horse, they will inevitably have to fight for it. In short, it is enough to make a fuss.

Thanks to Shen You's patience, he didn't mind getting a headache from being quarreled.Seeing that Shen Yu and Fang Sanlang were blushing and about to fight, Shen You smiled and said: "You both have fallen in love with this little white horse, so how about it, you two have a fist fight, who wins the battle?" Whoever owns the little white horse. The one who loses will pick another horse."

Boys, no one is willing to admit defeat.

Shen Yu and Fang Sanlang immediately responded with their chests straight, and rushed to the open space outside the stable like two little fighting cocks, each taking their positions.

Fang Silang clenched his fists and cheered for his elder brother: "Third brother, come on!"

Shen Miao went to ride a horse, Shen Hao immediately encouraged her cousin without saying a word, "Cousin, come on!"

Fang Silang was Shen Miao's little follower, he quickly betrayed the faction, stood beside Shen Hao, and shouted together: "Cousin Yu, come on!"

Fang Sanlang was so angry that he glared at Fang Silang: "Which side are you on?"

Fang Silang responded childishly: "I am on the side of my good sister."

Cui Sanlang also nodded happily: "Yes, me too."

Feng Shaojun, who was watching the excitement, was amused to laugh again and again.

Shen You also found it interesting, and said to Feng Shaojun with a smile: "Looking at them like this, I remembered when I was young. I am the same age as my third brother. When I was young, I was taller than him, stronger than him, and better than him in skill. Every time the second uncle Come back with weapons or war horses, let us both challenge. We all have to compete, and whoever wins will challenge first."

Feng Shaojun burst out laughing: "Where is Shen Jia your opponent? In this way, wouldn't you be the one to pick first?"

A smile flashed in Shen You's eyes: "It's true that I win and I pick first. However, after the pick is made, the third brother often asks each other kindly, asking to borrow my long knife and my horse to ride. By borrowing, keep it for yourself, and don't give it back to me."

Feng Shaojun laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

Shen Jia really has such a temper.

Shen You mentioned this on purpose, and obviously meant something.

Next, Shen Yu and Fang Sanlang each clenched their fists and rushed together, fighting back and forth.Shen Yu is the same age as Fang Sanlang, both are seven years old this year.Speaking of which, Shen Yu is still two months older.

However, in terms of skill, Shen Yu was really inferior to Fang Sanlang, and he was beaten down by Fang Sanlang in less than fifty moves.

Fang Sanlang raised his eyebrows and triumphantly led the little white horse away.

Shen Yu was not discouraged, and went to the stable to pick out a brown pony.After two rounds of riding, Shen Yu went to Fang Sanlang's side to flatter him: "Fang Sanbro, can you let me ride your little white horse for a while?"

Fang Sanlang couldn't help Shen Yu being soft-spoken, so he nodded and borrowed.

This borrowing became a custom.These dozen or so foals were kept in the stables of the Shen residence, and the children came to practice martial arts and riding and archery together every day.Shen Yu "borrowed" the little white horse from Fang Sanlang almost every day.

Fang Sanlang is also carefree, and he is very used to riding a brown pony.After half a month, when I arrived at the stable every day, I automatically went to lead the little brown horse.

Shen Yu logically took the little white horse as his own and rode it happily every day.

……

After Lei Xiaoxue found out about this, she felt a little embarrassed, and scolded her son with a straight face.Shen Yu was still a little aggrieved: "I was riding for a while, and I will always pay it back to Third Brother Fang in the future."

Lei Xiaoxue stretched out his hand and slapped Shen Yu on the back of the head: "You are still reasonable. If you don't learn from it, you will learn from your father."

Shen Yu was beaten up by his mother and cried a lot.I forgot about it as soon as I turned around.The next day, I rode the little white horse as usual.

Lei Xiaoxue had no choice but to ask Mrs. Li to accompany her.

Mrs. Li pursed her lips and smiled: "This little thing is not worth mentioning. In fact, these horses were brought back by General Shen. Our child got a horse for nothing, and he even feeds and raises horses every day. It’s all saved. We all took advantage of it!”

Feng Shaojun said with a smile: "We came to the border town together, we are better than relatives if we are not relatives, it is not unreasonable to say these words."

This is true.

Back then Shen Jia and Fang Peng put aside their errands in the palace without hesitation and followed Shen You to the frontier army.In the past few years, being in the barracks together, eating and living together, and leading the troops out of customs to practice and kill the enemy together, it is the glory of living and dying together.This kind of friendship is better than siblings.

"The children themselves don't mind, so let's stop talking too much." Li said with a smile.

Lei Xiaoxue has a bright and cheerful disposition, and quickly relieved: "You are right. I will not talk about these in the future. By the way, today I asked the cook to buy a basket of fish and shrimp and come back. At noon today, everyone will come to my house for dinner."

Feng Shaojun and Li Shi were not polite either, they smiled and agreed together.

Mrs. Song, who was sitting by the side, said some polite words.Lei Xiaoxue said with a smile: "They are together every day, there is delicious food, the three Cui Dalang brothers must come. Could it be that you have a pair of chopsticks?"

Cui Yuanhan worked as a quartermaster in the frontier army and was also Shen You's uncle, so he quickly integrated into the circle of Jiangjunfang.

After Cui Yuanhan came to the border town five years ago, he bought a house in the neighborhood of Jiangjunfang.Later, several people in the General Square were killed in battle, and one was seriously injured and returned to the capital. Several parts of the house were vacated.Cui Yuanhan moved into Jiangjunfang with his wife and children, and the house was just behind Shen's house.It is very convenient to come and go as soon as you open the back door.

Mrs. Song has a gentle temperament and is kind to others. Mrs. Lei Xiaoxue and Mrs. Li get along well with her.

The Song family's only "shortcoming", in Lei Xiaoxue's opinion, is that she is too polite.Just go to eat if you call, you have to waste a few more words.

Sure enough, under the unfathomable hospitality, the Song family agreed.

Winter is coming, and the weather is getting colder.At this time, even in the capital, fresh fish, shrimp and river delicacies are rare and expensive.When we arrived at the border town, we had to add a new word.

The crate of fresh fish and shrimp that Lei Xiaoxue ordered to buy was several times more expensive than beef and mutton.

The prawns are boiled in salt water, tender and sweet.Fresh fish weighing more than three catties, braised in soy sauce or sweet and sour, has a strong aroma.Smaller fish are boiled into a milky white fish soup, which is delicious and delicious.There are also small finger-long fish, the internal organs are removed and the fish scales are cleaned, wrapped in egg white flour, and fried in an oil pan, it is crispy and delicious.

Feng Shaojun grew up in Pingjiang Mansion, and he loves to eat fish. Today's fish and shrimp feast, he ate to his heart's content.

Song is a girl who grew up in a water village.

These dishes in front of me are all used to eating since childhood.However, after arriving in the border town, it is really not easy to eat fish and shrimp.I also had a good meal today.
