Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 346 Farewell 2
Xiangdong: "Family, what are you talking about? I am your eldest brother, and I should help you share a little. Besides, I have been out for so many years, and I have already gotten used to life in the military camp. To be honest , Now I want to go back to my hometown, I'm really not used to it!

Northwest is actually pretty good, very open, endless, and the skyline is so high.I like the customs here, the climate here, and the feeling of eating watermelon around the stove!Today's northwest is full of oases, no worse than Shanqian Village.So, you don't have to think too much, the eldest brother is very willing to stay! "

Da Ya: "Anyway, it's my younger sister who is sorry for you! Or, let a few children go back to Shanqian Village with me, and I will try my best to teach them!"

Xiangdong smiled reassuringly at Da Ya: "Sister, you don't have to be like this. The quality of education in Xiaoqinghe's academy is pretty good now, and the children will not be delayed in studying here. When the eldest is 12 years old, I will let him go back to the mountain." Go to Qiancun, please give me good advice with your brother-in-law!"

Da Ya has six children herself, which is enough to worry about. Seeing Ru Feng take them away, why not annoy her to death?Forget it, anyway, the eldest is only seven years old, and he also studied with his younger sister before.Stay in the Northwest until you're 12! After the age of 12, he had to take the examination of scholar, and then let him go back to Shanqian Village.

In this life, there are always unavoidable things that don't go well in one way or another.

No, there are three veteran stewards who are "slave bullying the master" and openly confronted Xiang Dong, obediently obedient to what he said and what he ordered to do, and even ignored them.

In a fit of rage, Da Ya gathered everyone and announced on the spot that the three stewards were fired.

The three of them were not convinced: "Princess, why should you fire the young one? The young one has always been loyal to the princess and dared not lie a little bit. Why should you fire the laughing one? The young one is not convinced, please tell me something!" "

"Not convinced? You want me to say one, two, three?" Da Ya couldn't help sneering:
"It stands to reason that I'm your boss and I'm a princess, so I can ignore you! However, since you asked this way, it's okay for me to talk about Yue!" , I said it in detail.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three stewards had no choice but to bow their heads in shame, and had nothing to say.Or in other words, I didn't dare to express the jealousy, resentment and injustice in my heart.

Da Ya smiled at Xiang Dong: "Brother, you choose a few people who are pleasing to the eye to take over the positions of these three people! If there are still people who dare to disrespect or disobey Big Brother, Big Brother can drive them out of the small house." Qinghe! From today onwards, I will entrust the management of all the affairs of Xiaoqinghe Oasis to my elder brother. No matter how big or small, my elder brother has absolute decision-making power. My elder brother is free to do it boldly! I want to see, Who dares to obey and disobey, or blatantly disobeys the master! If this is on the battlefield, he can be killed immediately!"

Before the words fell, the audience was silent, and everyone was silent.Those who had a small heart in their hearts no longer dared to sway their minds, and quickly put on an appearance of being more honest than anyone else.What the princess said just now reminded everyone that the eldest brother of the princess is a general of the fourth rank, who has killed the enemy on the battlefield!
Da Ya's sharp eyes swept over everyone one by one, and her tone was cold and serious: "As we all know, my elder brother is still a general of the fourth rank, and His Majesty the General's Mansion also promised not to take it away, and he can still keep it! Moreover, my elder brother and my cousin There are all personal squads, if any of you dare to make trouble, just give it a try!"

As soon as these words came out, the three expelled stewards didn't dare to move at all!How could they have forgotten that Rao Xiangdong and Rao Yunwu are both masters of martial arts, and the personal soldiers around them, one counts as the other, are also people with extraordinary martial arts!
Oh, hey, why did they lose their minds, dare to dissatisfy these two people, and even trip him up.Now, even if the concubine let the past go and is willing to keep them working here, they dare not stay!Alas, I'd better take my wife and children, go back to my hometown obediently, and live the hard life without a place!

Now, it's too late to regret!All three of them were full of horror and regret.

Seeing that these three people are like this, the rest of them are more honest, and they dare not have any wrong thoughts!These three people are a lesson from the past!

At this time, there are still ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Da Ya has long entrusted people from the Daoxiang Village caravan to buy thousands of zongzi leaves from the south. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. She plans to wrap some zongzi and let Xiangdong and Yunwu send them to the soldiers in the barracks to taste. one time.

She gathered more than 30 dexterous women to wrap zongzi in the big restaurant in the front yard of the palace. There are many people with great strength, and they wrapped about [-] zongzi in one day.The zong leaves she asked people to buy were all very small, and the zongzi wrapped in them were all small and exquisite, very cute.If adults eat it, they can eat it in one bite, and children aged five or six can eat it in three or two bites.

Except for the glutinous rice, the zongzi has nothing but alkaline water made from plant ash.In this season in the Northwest, there is no problem with putting it on for more than ten days.

The next day, more than 30 people continued to wrap zongzi.Today, everyone, you were proficient yesterday, and you wrapped five thousand in one day.At the same time, about thirty men were making moon cakes, and in two days, they also made about five thousand small moon cakes.

Well, now there are about [-] of them!Daya arranged manpower to cook rice dumplings overnight.When it was daytime, Shui Qingqian took Xiangdong, Yunwu, and their respective guards to the border to look for Marshal Meng!

The barracks where Marshal Meng is located now has about 3 people.

Zongzi and moon cakes are definitely not enough. Da Ya prepared one hundred big watermelons, one hundred big honeydew melons, ten sacks of salted peanuts, and freshly harvested dates and walnuts.Vegetables, chickens, ducks, geese, and pork are also indispensable.

With so many things, ten wagons were packed in Daoxiang Village's cargo carriage.When the convoy arrived at the gate of the barracks, it caused waves of commotion and cheers one after another.

The three received an unprecedented warm welcome.

Meng Jian was so moved that tears flickered: "Thank you very much for your hard work all the way. On behalf of the vast number of soldiers, thank you!"

The zongzi was small and exquisite, and the strong marshal ate it in one bite, because he ate it so fast that he didn't taste the taste yet.However, the number of zongzi is limited, and only one can be distributed per person.

However, the Generalissimo looked eagerly at Liang Hong, the captain of the guards facing east.

Liang Hong had no choice but to send him another one: "Marshal, good things come in pairs, so I'll give you another one!".

The Generalissimo was overjoyed, and quickly snatched the zongzi from Liang Hong's hand: "Oh, I haven't eaten zongzi for a long time! People in the northwest don't eat zongzi, so I want to taste zongzi. There is nowhere to buy it!"

Xiang Dong felt very sad when he heard that, he quickly reached out and grabbed a dozen or so, and put them on the coffee table in front of the marshal: "Marshal, I'll give you some more! When the Dragon Boat Festival next year, the general will definitely send some more rice dumplings. Everyone eat enough!"

No wonder, Da Ya insisted on giving away rice dumplings during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so this place didn't sell them!Before, he didn't pay attention to this problem.Because in Xiaoqinghe, he can eat zongzi every year when he goes back to the Dragon Boat Festival.

The three of them only stayed in the barracks for one night, and the next morning, regardless of everyone's persuasion, they set off on their way back.

However, in just one night, the understanding and friendship between Shui Qingqian and Meng Jian rose to a higher level.As for Xiangdong and Yunwu, they also met several comrades-in-arms, and everyone was happy and happy.

On the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moment of parting has finally arrived!

The eldest brother left 3000 taels of silver for the elder brother: "Brother, the dividends of Daoxiang village are very considerable every quarter. If you need anything, you can take it directly from the dividends. If you need it urgently and your money is tight, you can Advance some money with Master Qiao or shopkeeper Yue.

In short, the eldest brother must take good care of himself, and don't take care of everything by himself.When necessary, ask for help from Cuibai Villa, Master Qiao, Shopkeeper Yue, or Marshal Meng. Living alone in this world, it is impossible not to seek help from anyone!Some people, some things, what should be asked, is still required.Just ask the other party not to lose dignity and personality, so don't be too persistent! "

Brother is good at everything, but his skin is too thin.It is very difficult for him to open his mouth to ask for help or to do something.She is not very good at rejecting others, but fortunately, her sister-in-law Xia Lan is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she just complements her elder brother.With my sister-in-law by my brother's side, Da Ya is more at ease!

Xiangdong nodded: "Yes, I know, don't worry about money! My sister doesn't have to worry about money. There are so many melons, fruits and food in the family. If you sell a few carts of watermelons, the food expenses of this family will be enough for a year." Got it!"

Today, the prices of watermelons and honeydew melons have dropped a lot, and a watermelon can only be sold for half a tael.It is no longer the same as in the first year, when a watermelon can be sold for a sky-high price.However, even if there is only half a tael of silver, it is still enviable.

Daya's "magic potion" (spiritual spring water in space) is in limited supply, except for the Cuibai Villa, Qiao's, Shangguan's and Qilian Mountains, other families are hard to find.That is to say, at the beginning of the development, according to the number of acres of development, some "magic potions" will be sold appropriately to help improve the soil quality, so that trees and crops can survive in the Gobi Desert, deserts and deserts.

As for the subsequent planting of crops and melons and fruits, Da Ya will not sell the "magic potion".Therefore, today, it is only the crops and melons grown by these families in Xiaoqinghe, which are delicious and have a very high yield.

A watermelon sells for about half a liang of silver, which is also unique to the Xiaoqinghe family, and outsiders cannot envy it.

Da Ya is a princess, and she has always been very strong. She insisted that the "magic potion" is very difficult to prepare, and the quantity is very limited.She said that, other people can't come to the door to force her, right?Even the emperor has nothing to do with her.

Da Ya: "Brother, don't be too frugal in food and drink! Our family is not short of that little money now, let the children eat better, and eat according to the nutritious meals I wrote before!"

Xiang Dong nodded: "Brother understands, you don't have to worry about Big Brother, he is old and has been in the military camp for many years. It's hard enough for you to take care of six children alone! Besides, when you go home, mother It will definitely make you angry again. She is old and a little confused, you should let her go. No matter what she says, you can go in with your left ear and come out with your right ear!"

Da Ya: "I see, I won't have any big conflicts with my mother anymore! After I go back, I will build another courtyard in Peach Blossom Valley as soon as possible, and I don't have to meet with my mother every day, so the conflicts and conflicts will naturally be less!"

Xiangdong couldn't help sighing, it was so hard when he was young, and his mother was so tired every day, but he was very kind to them brothers and sisters, loving, virtuous and kind.Why did life get better later, but she became a little selfish and caressing.Alas, is it true that "we can share adversity, but not wealth"?
