Chapter 118

It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, but Aunt Ma is not smiling from ear to ear all day because of her granddaughter's good marriage.Now that someone mentions it, he becomes excited, and starts gossiping with a smile on his face.

Xing'er is married to Lu Manliang from Dashi Village next door. He is a down-to-earth and capable young man, but his family is poor.But fortunately, the parents in the family are kind people, and the brothers were considered harmonious before. There was an older sister who married a butcher in the village a few years ago, and her life was not bad, and she pulled her natal family from time to time.

Not to mention anything else, what is a woman looking for in her life, isn't she looking for a stable life, hoping for a group of filial and obedient children?According to Aunt Ma's words, people are not afraid of being poor at all, as long as they are willing to endure hardships and work hard, and they are not empty-headed children, then that's fine.

My granddaughter knew that although Xing'er was young, she was diligent and she was not the picky girl.And she doesn't have a heart, it's just right to marry into the Lu family, there is no partiality to unreasonable parents-in-law, the sister-in-law is also an honest farm girl, and the aunt can also be a grown-up person.

After going on like this, even if it is a little harder, life will definitely not be worse.At the very least, I won't be said to be climbing high branches, nor will I be looked down upon.

Who said that all peasant women have long hair but short knowledge?Their wisdom and thoroughness in life are beyond the reach of many people who have been outside the world all year round.The family is right, the saying that has been handed down since ancient times, who can say that it is unreasonable?

When farmers get married, the most important thing is family style and reputation.Everyone is born in poverty, although they would also want to make the girl in the family marry better, but they can't stand the reality that what kind of pot goes with what kind of cover, and their own conditions are not so good, so why bother to go to Pantu for other things? What about rich people?

So after hearing Aunt Ma say that the situation over there was a bit difficult, several aunts started talking one after another.Now the people in Taoshuwan follow Zhang Ji, and they are more or less better off than before, but how much money can they have in the end?At most, it is possible to save things for the girl in the family as a dowry, and to marry the son without needing to borrow a lot of money.

In this way, they will naturally not belittle others just because they say that their family is poorer.Especially those who have contacts with Dashi Village, who can more or less know about the affairs of the village there, will brag when they say they are the Lu family boy.

The Lu family has quite a family, five or six brothers and one eldest sister, but they are all children who endure hardships and stand hard work.Not only is he filial and sensible, but he is also very enthusiastic.Even if they are watched by outsiders, they are not ignorant people.I heard that the Lu family's parents are also rare people who understand. When a son gets married, they let the family live on their own, and rarely intervene in the affairs of the young couple.

This kind of thing is extremely difficult for others, but it is an advantage to talk about it.At least in the future when Xing'er gets married, she doesn't need to look at people's faces, just take care of the situation in her own house.

After talking for a while, I watched the sun go up above my head.

In order to prevent the tea leaves from being spoiled by the sun, the sisters-in-law who were in charge of drying the tea quickly flipped their fingers.Then re-pave it layer by layer, and occasionally pick out the broken green leaves carefully.

The following days went smoothly, at least Lin Baozhu, who had returned to the tea house, didn't have much energy to think about her own man anymore.

That is, the night before going to the county again, she was so excited that she turned left and right and couldn't fall asleep.It's been a few days since I saw him, and I don't know how he is doing now, whether he misses his family and her.

She couldn't survive the back and forth in her mind for half a moment, so she simply didn't force herself to lie down.I lit the oil lamp and got up, thinking that I still had a few feet of plain cloth at home, so I simply searched out and sewed two pairs of stockings for Zhang Mantun.

Not to mention, Xu Zhen's old saying goes that practice makes perfect, now that Lin Baozhu is sewing or making small things, it's really hard for her.Even embroidering a few stitches of flowers and plants when sewing purses is barely enough.

After staying up late at night, after the two pairs of stockings were sewn, she thought about whether to bring two more clean clothes.Now that the weather is getting cooler and cooler, even if my man is resistant to the cold, he should pay more attention, at least prepare a few clothes in case it is windy and rainy.

Thinking of this, she found another bag and packed Zhang Mandun with two clean and folded square coarse cloth robes.Finally, I happily put the stockings I just sewed in.

After a toss, there will be light in the sky.Because she thought that she would see that man soon, although she was a little tired, she was still full of energy.

It's not worth the time to sleep and sleep, so I just get up and make some food, so that I can fill my stomach when the big guys are on their way.He also thought that his second son Zhu Neng and his six sons liked to eat the dim sum they made by themselves, so they might as well make some so that they could have a good time, and also let their men take them to the barracks for favors.

She was quick to do things, and started tinkering as soon as she lit the lamp.Because the firewood fire was lit in the kitchen, even if it was not bright, you could still see things clearly.

Steamed Linglong Cake on the grate, originally she wanted to make some fluffy cakes, but after discussing with Shi Dayong to leave early in the morning, she might not be able to make it in time.Thinking that there were some yams at home and the dried red dates sent by Mrs. Wang a few days ago, she thought about making a red date yam cake.

That food is the most nourishing, and it is not as sweet and greasy as Linglong Cake, so it is also suitable for men to eat when they are hungry.

She didn't know what it was like to think that her man might not have enough to eat and wear in the barracks.If it wasn't for her, for this family, why would that man suffer that crime?
After thinking about it in a mess in my mind, I finally started to work helplessly and distressed.Since others can't help, at least he can't be teased when it comes to eating.

After making up her mind, she peeled the yam and cut it into large pieces, then soaked the dried red dates until soft, washed them and put them in the big basin together with the yam pieces.Thinking that yam and jujube cakes would not be easy to preserve, she simply mixed some noodles and put them on the stove to warm them up.

At this time, the Linglong Cake steamed in the pot is ready to come out of the oven. Seeing the pleasing snacks exuding a burst of rich and sweet smell, she also felt happy in her heart.Because in order to suit the taste and preferences of her man, the Linglong cake she made is different from the ones sold outside. She added some sophora japonica honey that she made herself before, and did not add sugar, so it was sweet but sweet. It doesn't choke your throat.

After drying the Linglong Cake to the side, she slowly steamed a pot of yams and red dates into the cauldron through water.Then a lot of firewood jumped into the stove, and only then did I start to marinate some meat.

Before, I just heard Liu Zi say that the big soldiers in the barracks eat like fighting a battle. If you have done it, you will have something to eat, but if you can't do it, you will often be hungry.And the food was really unpalatable, not to mention the meat, even a piece of minced meat could attract several people to snatch it up.

She was also worried that her man would not be able to eat a meal of meat, so after discussing with Shi Dayong, she went to buy a dozen pork knuckles, and some fine pork and short ribs.

The lean meat was naturally used by her to make pork jerky. She didn't brush it with honey, but she smeared it with some nectar brewed by herself, and it tasted very good.As for the remaining pig's knuckles and ribs, they were stewed last night and are now being stewed in spicy brine.

After a while, I had to pack a basin and bring it over, which can be regarded as an improvement for the three brothers Zhang Mandun.

The current Lin Baozhu doesn't know the barracks yet, she thinks that these cooked foods are not good-looking if they are given to human beings, but she doesn't know that those guys who can get red-eyed at the sight of Rou Momo don't care if they look good or not, as long as they can If they want to eat, they wish they could come to a hungry wolf to grab the food directly.

Especially those who practice with Zhang Mandun every day, they are all kinds of evil spirits.Although he was screaming and screaming from being beaten on weekdays, once he got off the practice ground, he was alive and kicking again.

In fact, when he first arrived at the barracks, Zhang Mandun, the airborne centurion, was really looked down upon by many people.It's just a man who farms and hunts in the village. He probably hasn't even taken a serious weapon. He can be a centurion as soon as he comes. If he says he has no backer, who will believe it.

I really didn't underestimate these people who look down on Zhang Mantun, this team of soldiers was collected by His Highness Prince Rui from all over the place, and then pretended to be recruits, stuffed into the account of the county magistrate young general.They looked at the idlers, but in fact, many of them had been through a lot of tempering. Even if they had never been on the battlefield, at least they were masters who had suppressed bandits and killed people.

Zhang Mantun really didn't fear them, he just picked whoever refused to accept it, regardless of whether it was a knife or a fist or a leg.As long as he can hit people directly, he doesn't care how many people he uses.Later in the barracks, it was rumored that there was such a man with strong fists, and he looked like a burly man, but his body was extremely flexible, and he was like a murder weapon when fighting.

Although there are intrigues in the barracks, most of the time they speak by force.Whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak, especially the soldiers under them.If you are not convinced, well, just hit until you are convinced.In fact, as long as the morale of the army is not disturbed, most of the time, the superiors will turn a blind eye and close one eye. Sometimes they will use the excuse of drills to loosen the tibia, and then let the superiors see who has the real ability. Who are here to mess around.

The arrival of Zhang Mantun is to repeat a new practice and discussion.Up to now, the challenges he has accepted are not the same as gang fights.No matter how other people cooperate, he just chooses one place to punch directly, and hits with a fist like an iron block, which can dig a hole even in a copper wall, not to mention those few big soldiers surrounded by circles.
