Yingfang secretly entrusted the safety of the farmhouse to Xiaojin.

Xiao Jin used to like to go out hunting at night, but in the future, he will go up the mountain during the day and stay at home at night.

Old Jin is old, the gold teeth are still young, the golden retriever is weak, and the kumquat is prone to convulsions...... In short, counting is the most reliable to count small gold.

King Jin, who was praised and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, leisurely followed Jiang Xinrou's ass and went to the farmhouse to keep vigil.

Kumquat sneered at it: It has the ability to fly!

King Jin rolled his eyes: he didn't bother to talk to stupid meow.

The others were so frightened that they almost huddled together to keep warm. Emma is so scary! These two are on the bar again, and they are the ones who suffer......!

The next day, after waiting for Xiang Gang to work, Yingfang wanted to go to the city with her mother to find Xia Lao.

Jiang Xinrou emphasized that it was enough to go alone, and it was inconvenient for her daughter to travel with a big belly.

Yingfang felt that she should also contribute.

The two of them were convincing each other, and Xia Lao came to the door first.

"You are always ......" Ying Fang thought that he had also heard the wind in the urban area, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

Seeing that their mother and daughter had strange expressions, Xia Lao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter, don't you welcome me to the door, old man?"

"How could it be!" the two hurriedly welcomed people into the house.

Ying Fang said the incident that caused a lot of trouble, and sighed lightly at the end: "You are old and just in time, my mother and I are trying to go to the city to find you." Let's make trouble about this matter again, I'm afraid it won't have a good impact on Brother Gangzi. ”

"How can Chen Ping, the division commander, be the commander? Such a small matter, it has become like this......" When Xia Lao heard this, his face sank, where did he know that Chen Ping was intentional at all.

"Okay, now that I know about this, I will take care of it to the end. In this way, I'll go to 713 in a while and talk to Chen Ping. How can he, the division commander, suffer such a big loss, and he won't squeak and pipe......" Xia Lao said with a frown.

After a pause, remembering the purpose of this trip, he took out a full cowhide envelope from his pocket and handed it to Yingfang, "Last time you gave me the old ginseng wine, I took a small cup every day before going to bed, drank it for a few months, and found that some old stubborn diseases on my body showed signs of improvement, and several old comrades-in-arms around me were like me, and they all had some dark diseases on their bodies, so I brought two old ginseng to see if it could be brewed into the kind of medicinal wine you gave me to drink?"

Ying Fang took the envelope and opened it to see that it was really two old mountain ginseng.

I couldn't help twitching the corners of my mouth, this is too unsophisticated! The old ginseng of the last year actually took a cowhide envelope and covered it. If her master sees it, she will be designated to blow her beard and scold the loser.

As for Xia Lao's request, it can be satisfied.

The jar of ginseng wine that was sent to Xia Lao before, in addition to a fifteen-year-old wild ginseng and the best rice wine brewed by Xiang Er, there are also some accessories that nourish qi and blood, nourish body and longevity, including wolfberry, yellow essence, astragalus, angelica, etc. These medicinal herbs are available at home, and although the amount is not much, it is enough to make two jars of wine.

As for the wine, "I used rice wine made by relatives in my hometown last time, and I wrote a letter to ask when I got back." However, the time may not be early, and I am afraid that it will be the end of the year when I carry it from my hometown. ”

"Time is not in a hurry, my jar of wine, divide some of them, drink it leisurely, enough to drink for a while. Xia Lao waved his hand, he could drink the sweet and high-quality ginseng wine, what would it matter if he waited a little longer. It's delicious, it's hard-won.

Xia Lao left two ginseng sticks and went to 713 to find Chen Ping.

Ying Fang carefully transferred the two wild ginsengs, which looked stronger than any ginseng she had ever seen, from the cowhide envelope to the mahogany box.

This mahogany box was given to her by Chen Xuya. I usually decorate scattered but relatively expensive things, and I can't find any other suitable utensils at this time, so I can only free this one to load.

Originally, it was best to use a jade box for ginseng, and the medicinal effect was not easy to volatilize.

Helpless in this world, not to mention jade boxes, rings and other gadgets are difficult to see, who dares to wear these things on their bodies to swagger through the market.

On the back saddle, the mahogany box is not bad. At least it's authentic mahogany, and it's vintage.

Now that Xia Lao is here, the two of them don't have to go to the city.

"You stay at home and watch the stove, and I'll go to the bottom of the mountain to pick some vegetables. Stay for a while for a light meal. Jiang Xinrou said.

Regardless of whether this thing is done or not, it is a courtesy to keep someone for a meal.

Yingfang also has this meaning. So the two of them worked together, one was responsible for watching the fire and rolling noodles at home, and the other went to the vegetable field at the foot of the mountain to pick the cooked vegetables.

By the time Xiang Gang accompanied Xia Lao home, the two of them had already prepared a table full of dishes. That is, most of the table is vegetables, such as potatoes and cabbage grown in the field, such as greens picked from the balcony, autumn lentils, and all kinds of dried vegetables, bamboo shoots, and dried mushrooms that are hoarded at home.

There are three meat dishes - stewed soybeans with tube bones, eggs with salted meat, and steamed lake crab with ginger.

But it's not bad, these days, ordinary people, who eats two meat dishes in one meal? Not to mention that the last dish is a seasonal dish.

It's the golden autumn, and the most famous food in the south of the Yangtze River is the lake crab. Crabs began to be served in various vegetable farms one after another, but the price was expensive. A crab costs three or five cents, and you also have to take a fish ticket.

Yingfang saved up two months of fish tickets to buy two crabs.

I picked a male and a female, and cut it in half after steaming, the male paste is thick and the female is oily, which is definitely a good dish to accompany the wine.

Seeing that the food was ready, Xia Lao didn't say anything about the empty scenes, sat down happily, and pulled Xiang Gang to pick up the wine cup.

After taking a bite of side dishes, taking a sip of wine, he said to Xiang Gang: "This time, I guess Chen Ping is making a small move. ”

"Commander?" Xiang Gang was stunned, "Why did he do this?

"You don't understand that. Xia Lao squinted, played with the porcelain wine cup in his hand, and smiled, "Some people who dominate high positions and have no ability to go further, often love to guard against the soldiers below, and are afraid that they will not be able to keep their position." ”

Xiang Gang heard this, pondered for a while, and came back to his senses, and smiled bitterly: "I have never thought about this." ”

Xia Lao sandwiched a dish for him, and said half-truthfully and half-jokingly: "It's still too late to think about it now." ”

After a pause, he said, "You have been promoted quickly, but after all, you have little seniority, and the deputy regiment-level cadres look like a big fat piece in the regiment, but it is not enough to put them in the general military region." The biggest reason why Chen Ping guards against you, and even secretly pokes and pokes to make small moves to mess with you, is probably the relationship between your mother-in-law's family. He thinks that you are like him, and your promotion depends on the Yue family. Something that's shallow!"

Xiang Gang nodded knowingly.

I didn't expect this layer before, but after Xia Lao dialed it a little now, he suddenly became clear, and he was clear about the current situation.
