happy event

Chapter 81 is not suitable for watching, understand?
It turned out that Dong Ping thought about it for a long time before leaving, and he didn't want to follow the lies of those hypocrites who just took an urgent matter at home to perfuse his friends, so he directly wrote that he was pregnant with a lot of money and couldn't tell the exact return date, and invited Jin Beiwang to Qing Dynasty in his spare time. County tour.

Others would probably be furious, after all, no one likes to be suspected and guarded against, but Jin Beiwang is open-minded, and Dong Ping's actions made him feel sincere and innocent.

Dong Ping didn't know if the matter of leaving the book and leaving far away would annoy Jin Beiwang, a rare friend. He would sigh twice when thinking about it on the way back to the north, and he couldn't feel happy.Plus, he is carrying a huge amount of money, and when he sees anyone approaching, he can't help but suspect that he has a bad idea.So in the end, he just put on a straight face and put on a scholarly appearance. Except for Zhang Guanshi and Xizi, even the caravan stewards raised their chins when they spoke, and simply dealt with it with a few words.

The effect of this is very obvious. After five or six days since the caravan left Beijing, no one took the initiative to talk to them. On the contrary, both the staff and the guards in the caravan privately said that Suanru was really difficult to get along with.Xizi wanted to get angry a few times when she heard it, but she held back after thinking about it.Steward Zhang secretly noticed how their master and servant behaved like this, and thought it was funny, but from time to time he remembered the embarrassing things about his family's career in the world, so he became closer to Dong Ping.

Not to mention how Dong Ping and the others are so eager to return home, wishing they could step into the courtyard of their home in one step.It only said that Dong Rong would stand on the biggest rock on the top of the mountain and look south every day when she stayed at home, causing Sha Zhu to wrap her arms around her to protect her, for fear that she would accidentally fall off.

The cold wind that had been blowing for several days suddenly stopped. Although the sun was not so bright, there was a rare sense of warmth in the mountains.The old peasants who have been counting on God for food all their lives immediately sensed that this was a sign of snowfall, so the younger generations of each family were rushed to chop firewood and carry bales of corn stalks, and the daughters-in-law also hurriedly ground corn noodles to make pans for baking. pancakes.Otherwise, once the heavy snow falls, it will be too late to be busy with these things.

The young Dong Rong and his wife watched Zhao Qingshan and the others gather all kinds of baskets, picks and other sundries, then closed the door of the utility room and took the keys.

In this way, even if the orchard has completely entered the hibernation period, except for two of the handymen who rotate to patrol the orchard every day, the rest will go home for winter.With a small population, it would be a waste of manpower to arrange meals every day, so Dong Rong planned to change the two meals to pay copper coins.

However, after paying the food tax, the families in the village do not have much rations left. Occasionally when I go to the city, I see the plight of the hungry people who have no food and clothing. The desire for food is even more urgent. I wish I could Fill the granary at home, and then sleep on it all day long.

So when the handyman heard that the master wanted to distribute copper coins, he faltered and proposed to replace it with rice grains. After all, the price of grain in the city is soaring. Even if you have copper coins in your hand, you may not be able to buy a few grains of rice. Go home with peace of mind.

Dong Rong has nothing to do. At the beginning, she took out almost all the silver and food reserves, and filled half a storage cellar. Not to mention paying two or three bags of corn noodles every month, even twenty or thirty bags are enough to fill up. When the mountain flowers bloom.

The handymen went home with the good news contentedly. Sister-in-law Liu looked at the closed kitchen door and rubbed her hands with some reluctance.Although she is an inconspicuous little cook, at least the two sons in the family can eat an extra bowl of "leftovers" every day, and they are already fat and round in just two months.In the future, the canteen in the orchard will be closed, and I don't know if the sons will clamor for meat.

Dong Rong didn't know what was going on in her mind. She walked around the orchard and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so she held her hand and smiled, "I have a sister-in-law to help me with chores for the past two months. In the future, without my sister-in-law by my side, I still feel flustered. After the Chinese New Year, if my sister-in-law is not busy at home, she should go up the mountain to help me earlier."

"Okay, my boss won't call me when the time comes, so I'll come here early. Where in the world can you find such a kind and generous master!" Sister-in-law Liu got this reassurance pill, knowing that next year's errands will be fulfilled, she smiled happily, He kept yelling, "If the owner feels deserted on the mountain, someone will send a message back to the village. I will come and talk to the owner. My family has half a bag of wild dates in the sun. I will send it to the owner to taste when the time comes." .”

Originally, no fruit was sold in the orchard because of the Xue family's interference, and there are countless fresh fruits of various colors in the storage cellar, which are naturally more delicious than small dried dates.But Sister-in-law Liu had her heart set on it, how could Dong Rong let her down, she smiled cheerfully, "That's good, then I will steam some jujube cakes, and sister-in-law will take some back for the children at home."

The master and the servant gossiped for a while, and then Sister-in-law Liu laughed and went home.Dong Rong and Sha Zhu went up the mountain hand in hand, one was busy making dinner, the other burned the earthen kang, and after dinner, they sat on both sides of the kang table and played a modified version of The Adventures of Garfield.

Garfield, who used to travel all over the world, is now replaced by Guoguo with a hawthorn on his back, and the map is replaced by various state capitals in Daqi.I don't know if Sha Zhu was lucky, or because he figured out how to turn the dice, every step was very appropriate, but Dong Rong either fell into the river or was robbed by robbers. In the end, watching Sha Zhu reach the finish line, she was still there. Jump halfway.

Dong Rong was so annoyed that she wanted to grab Guoguo and stab the silly pillar, but instead of being stabbed first, she screamed.Silly Zhu laughed out loud, grabbed the dim sum on the plate and threw it to the staring little black-eyed Guoguo with an innocent face, as a reward for its help in guarding.

Dong Rong picked up the mat and smashed it against the proud Sha Zhu, but was hugged by Sha Zhu, and the young couple rolled into a ball. In the end, Dong Rong was kissed and her face was flushed.

Guoguo tilted her head while eating snacks, wondering why the two of them were biting each other. Could it be that lips taste better than fruits?
Just when it was still trying to get a closer look, Sha Zhu threw a cushion at random and completely pressed it down.Some episodes are not suitable for children to watch, understand?
The coldest day of the year is not the three or nine days or the twelfth lunar month, but early winter.I am used to the scorching heat of summer and the bright sunshine of autumn, when suddenly the cold wind blows on my body, the chill at that moment is enough to make any beauty shrink her neck regardless of her appearance.

Dong Rong was sitting on the warm kang at this time, while sewing the rabbit fur scarf in her hand, while watching Sha Zhu doing arithmetic problems, she couldn't help sighing comfortably.

Although her current life is not very rich, at least she has enough food and clothing, and no one bullies or scolds her.Her husband is not as intelligent as ordinary people, but he treats her wholeheartedly and refuses to be wronged in the slightest. It can even be said that he pampers and indulges her.For the woman in this time and space, she is the luckiest and happiest existence.With life like this, it stands to reason that there should be nothing to be dissatisfied with, right?
Silly Zhu finished the mixed arithmetic problems in his notebook, and looked up to see his daughter-in-law was in a daze, but she didn't do much sewing in her hand.He guessed that she might be thinking about her brother who traveled far away again, so he took a pen and paper and sent it to her with a smile, "I'm done."

Dong Rong came back to her senses, put down her needle and thread, glanced at the arithmetic problems, and praised, "It's all right, Zhu Zi is really smart."

Sha Zhu smiled and didn't speak, but moved his left cheek closer.Dong Rong was amused and helpless, kissed him on the face, and said angrily, "Okay? Next time, change the reward to snacks or copper coins!"

Sha Zhu shook his head and refused, carefully put away the pen and paper and wanted to get closer to his wife.Unexpectedly, Guoguo was sleeping soundly beside Dong Rong's lap, his pressing just became the meat felt delivered to the door.

Dong Rong laughed so hard that she felt a little distressed when she finally saw Sha Zhu shaking her hands in pain.So he stretched out his hand to pick up Guoguo's belly and sent it to the mat at the end of the kang, then lowered his head to wipe the few drops of blood from the palm of Shazhu's palm.

Silly Zhu looked at the snow-white neck in front of his eyes, and the ferocious desire that had been suppressed with great difficulty was lifted again.He couldn't help but wanted to lower his head to kiss Fangze, but at this moment the door of the main room was knocked loudly.Dong Rong suddenly raised her head in shock, and subconsciously clenched her hands even tighter.

Silly Zhu frowned slightly, and there was no panic in his eyes except for a trace of annoyance. After all, the A-character team in the dark didn't send a message, so people who came would definitely not pose any threat to them.

Sure enough, Dong Rong jumped off the ground and opened the door, only to see the embarrassed old lady rushing in.The old lady had lived on the mountain for more than half a month, she had enough food and drink, and her son was working to earn money, so she was naturally in a good mood, so her skinny body became much richer.

But now that they have been apart for more than a month, they are even thinner than before.It was the coldest night in early winter, but she was only wearing an old jacket, the cotton skirt on her lower body was covered with dust, and even one foot was bare.

Dong Rong felt distressed and surprised at the same time, and quickly helped the old lady to sit at the table, and asked while pouring water for her, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you? But there is something at home? Your eyesight is not good, if you have something to do, let me Somebody help to deliver the letter."

The old lady Yu was probably very tired, and sat on the chair panting for a long time before she could catch her breath.She held onto Dong Rong's hand and cried, "Dear Master, Master, please... Please save my son's life. He is about to be beaten to death, how can I live..."

"Killed to death... what's going on?" Dong Rong pulled the handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears, and persuaded her to speak slowly, "Mother, please speak carefully, I will definitely find a way to save my son, don't worry ah."

Old Madam Yu picked up the tea and drank it, and managed to calm herself down, and then she started talking.

It turned out that after Guisheng returned home from the orchard, he took over the work of the Chu family in the neighboring village.The youngest daughter of the Chu family was betrothed to a lame young man from Sanli Shop outside the city, and asked him to make a dowry box.

This job is close to home, and the wages are generous, so the Yu family's mother and son are very happy.On Yu Gui's birthday, he went out early and returned late to do work, while the old lady stayed at home and her son cooked, washed, and took care of the housework.Originally planning to spend more than half a month busy, there will be a few hundred Wen income, plus the wages earned from Dong Rong, it is enough to buy a generous dowry to marry the house and daughter-in-law back.

The old lady Yu laughed from ear to ear all day long, and even begged the matchmaker in the village to pay attention to her good-natured and good-tempered daughter.If everything goes well, maybe by this time next year, she will have a big fat grandson in her arms.
