Zhu Xiaochang did not hesitate and refused directly: "Lady, if you have a child in your belly, you can rest well, just leave all these rough jobs to me to do, Qinghe hasn't gotten up yet, you go and prepare a little gruel, and wait for her to get up and eat together." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Qinglian went to the stove room with a smile, and Zhu Dongmei hurried to help.

Last night, Zhu Xiaochang said that everyone was invited to drink, this matter is not just talking about it, he thought about really inviting everyone to drink, he has been eating and drinking in the village for the past few days, Xia Qinghe has long said that he wants to invite everyone to come and get together.

When Xia Qinghe woke up, the gruel was already on the table.

Zhu Xiaochang cleaned up the yard, and the whole yard looked a lot bigger.

"Why is Xiao Chang so early?" Xia Qinghe rubbed his eyes and asked, and after freshening up, he sat around and ate together.

Zhu Xiaochang told everything that happened last night, and said, "Qinghe, what do you say we plan next?" ”

Xia Qinghe picked up the gruel and drank it slowly, thinking about how to spend the year in her mind, and she suddenly had a good idea.

"That's good, you go to the town to buy half a pig back, and then go to the next village to buy a sheep, when the time comes, let's roast the sheep stew, and then get some steamed buns to make some side dishes with steamed buns, basically it's about the same, you roasted rabbit around the fire with everyone yesterday to make me feel very good, everyone can talk together, lively, I'll see it's like this."

Zhu Xiaochang felt that one sheep was not enough, the people in the village were very able to eat, and everyone was excited to eat quickly, mutton was relatively rare on weekdays, and everyone must love to eat it.

"Qinghe, I wonder if one sheep is not enough, or buy two? We roast one and a half heads, and we keep the remaining half for the New Year. He proposed.

Xia Qinghe is not stingy with silver, as long as everyone eats happily, as for how much money is spent, this is not the most important thing, since Zhu Xiaochang proposed it, he has his reason, she directly took out the money bag and gave it to Zhu Xiaochang: "There are more than a dozen taels of silver in this, you will keep the rest after you buy what you need, I made a lot of money last year, I gave Dongmei's salary to Qinglian, and I will store there as a dowry in the future, and I don't know when Xiao Chu will come back, I pondered taking advantage of the cold weather to send a few sheep to the border pass." ”

She has been addicted to sending things recently, the last time she received a letter from Xiao Chu was seven or eight days ago, and there are still a few days left for the New Year, and I don't know what happened to Xiao Chu.

Border.

The snow was falling, the cold wind was blowing, the wind was blowing, and even if there was a brazier in the tent, it was still cold, after all, the tent was not so sheltered from the wind and rain as a house.

Xiao Chu sat on the edge of the brazier and stretched out his hands to bake the fire, Da Huzi sat on one side, Zhu Ping'an and the two dogs also sat around the brazier, and a cold wind blew in, and several people shivered with cold.

Xiao Chu was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, the kind that was very common in the village, which was brought by Xia Qinghe's trust, and he was usually reluctant to wear it.

Dahuzi sneezed, woke up from the cold, and said: "It's too cold this winter, mainly we are still stationed by the river, and the whole person can't stand it when the river wind blows." ”

"No, I don't feel like my hands and face are mine." The second dog rubbed his cold hands, he just entered the tent after he was outside the sentry.

Zhu Ping'an said something else: "The first batch of grain and grass has been received, and we no longer have to worry about the food and drink of the soldiers, as well as the meat sent by Qinghe, everyone can have a good year, this time thanks to Qinghe, if we didn't send food every day during that time, we would definitely not be able to hold on to it now, and we must compensate Qinghe well when we triumph." ”

He is also in charge of the grain and grass affairs at ordinary times, so he naturally knows how difficult it was at the beginning, when Xia Qinghe sent the first batch of grain and grass, Xiao Chu confessed, and they learned that there had been a shortage of grain for several days, and Xiao Chu secretly sent people around to buy grain to live a difficult life, and later the hijacking of grain and grass was also found out, but it was the enemy country that made a rebellion, and originally wanted to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, but Xia Qinghe had an accident.

A steady stream of vermicelli was sent in, and occasionally a pig, a cart of sauerkraut or something, in short, everyone's food improved a lot, and it did not make the soldiers hungry, although the things sent by Xia Qinghe did not solve the needs of the whole army, but it also greatly reduced a large part of the pressure, especially this vermicelli, he felt that it was necessary for the march to fight.

Thinking of this, he said excitedly: "Lord Wang, you see that this vermicelli can be eaten after a little cooking, and the most important thing is that it is easy to carry, you ask Qinghe if this can be improved, if the soldiers can bring their own dry food to fight, wouldn't it be fast." ”

Because the last time he soaked the vermicelli himself and felt the magic in it, he pondered that Xia Qinghe must have a lot of other ideas, if he can solve the food problem of the march and fight, it is convenient for everyone to carry, and he will have an advantage in the future.

Xiao Chu nodded with satisfaction, patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder appreciatively and said: "Ping'an, what you think is the same as what I think, I also thought of this before, but I can't go back for the time being, even if there is a solution to these things, they need to be kept secret, and the letter is unreliable." ”

He also misses Xia Qinghe, and when he thinks of Xia Qinghe, his heart is sweet.

Da Huzi tilted his head and sighed: "My daughter-in-law is gone, why do you think I was blind and thought Li Lotus was good, I felt like a dream when my mother wrote a letter, Li Lotus is too cheeky, and my mother is kind-hearted, if I am at home, I will definitely not let her go." ”

He just couldn't figure it out, and he was very good to Li Hehua, but he was betrayed.

Ergouzi glanced at Dahuzi and said: "You were going to be blind, Qinghe wanted to persuade you to come and tell you not to hurry and look for it slowly, you and your mother just don't listen, you see how smart I am, and when I return triumphantly, I guess those girls are lining up to talk about matchmaking." ”

He laughed as he spoke, now he is a small head in the barracks, if he can win the battle, he will definitely have a lot of benefits, and he is afraid that he will not be able to marry his daughter-in-law at that time? At the end, he added: "You should be glad that you broke off with Li Lotus, if you keep going, who knows what kind of moth Li Lotus will make." ”

Da Huzi scratched his head and felt that what Ergouzi said was also reasonable, but fortunately, his relationship with Li Hehua was not too deep, but he was uncomfortable in his heart.

Xiao Chu is only thinking about Xia Qinghe now, but he is also planning, sooner or later he will have to go back to the palace, and if he wants to take Xia Qinghe back openly, he can only cook raw rice and mature rice, and it is best to have a child .......

Thinking of this, Xiao Chu smiled unkindly.
