When Zhao Erniu returned to the village, everyone had already finished dividing the bear meat. Aunt Hua looked at her son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren in surprise and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?" ”

Zhao Erniu reined in the carriage, and Shui Tao got down from the carriage, holding his son who was just one year old. The daughter of the two was carried out of the carriage by Zhao Erniu, ran to Aunt Hua's feet, pulled her skirt, raised her little head and said, "Grandmother, Xiaoquan misses you, do you think Xiaoquan has it?" ”

"Of course." Aunt Hua hurriedly put down the basket, picked up the cute little granddaughter, and kissed her twice, "Good granddaughter, grandmother will make bear meat for you to eat." ”

Zhao Erniu put the basket of meat into the carriage and followed Aunt Hua to his house.

"How did you come back with a wagon?"

"Most of them were salutes for Shui Tao and the two children, and I sent them back to the village to live. Mother, please take care of them more with your father. ”

"What about you? Did something happen to you dead boy? Aunt Hua noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.

"I just received a military order to report to Beidaying, and it may take a bit of a long time to go. I was worried that the mother and son would stay in the city and there would be no one to take care of them, so I sent them to the village. There is a mother and a father, as well as a big brother and sister-in-law, I can rest assured. "Zhao Erniu has been promoted to the position of guerrilla general in recent years, and he is correspondingly much busier, and he can no longer go back and forth between the village and Anping County every day. Zhao Erniu bought a small house in the city and brought the peach to the city. The two husbands and wives only returned to the village to visit their parents and brothers during the New Year's holidays.

Back at Zhao's house, the village chief was also surprised by the sudden return of his second son and asked him why he came back. After listening to his son's explanation. The wise village chief took two heavy puffs of shisha. "You say." Is there another war? ”

Zhao Erniu grimaced: "I don't know." ”

The village chief sprayed white smoke on the face of the second son: "If you don't say it, I also count your son!" Hey, it's only been a few years! The people have not lived a comfortable life for a few years, and they will suffer again. ”

"Dad, what are you doing with all this? If we fight again, our village chief will not be affected, and when the time comes, let Erya open the formation outside the village, how should we live in the village! Zhao Dali said honestly.

The village chief raised the cigarette stick and knocked it on the eldest son's head: "You muddy boy only sees yourself, there are so many ordinary people outside, once there is a war." What about their lives? Have you forgotten those who starved to death and those who were killed by outcast deserters? ”

Zhao Dali thought of the corpses he had seen, and lowered his head: "Dad, I was wrong!" ”

Aunt Hua was concerned about her youngest son who was about to go to the battlefield: "How dangerous is the battlefield, Erniu, why don't you resign from your official position and go home to farm?" ”

"Mother, if you resign from your official position now, you will be dealt with by military law." Zhao Erniu said helplessly.

"What then?" Aunt Hua was very worried.

"Mother, don't worry. In the past few years, I have not neglected the practice of martial arts, and my skills are much stronger than a few years ago. I was able to come back safely from the last war, and this time I won't have a problem. Zhao Erniu comforted his mother, turned his head and asked the village chief again. Dad, Zeng Qinghua wanted to send his mother, wife and son to the village. Let me ask you if it's possible. ”

Zeng Qinghua, with the help of his father-in-law, has been promoted faster than Zhao Erniu in recent years, and is three grades higher than Zhao Erniu. After he took his mother to the city, his household registration was also moved to the city, and the house in the village was sold by him to Zhang San's sister-in-law's family, completely cutting off contact with Qingshui Village. It's hard to go back to Shimizu Village.

"He was completely gone at the time, and now he wants to come back, there is no such rule." The village chief refused.

Qingshui Village is a paradise in troubled times, Zeng Qinghua wants to make the old lady, wife and son safe and stable, but his practice of abandoning the village and leaving as soon as he gets ahead makes the village chief and clan elders very dissatisfied, scolding him for being a white-eyed wolf, and naturally he will not accept Zeng Qinghua's return at this time. You can go back if you want to go, what do you think of our Qingshui Village?

"Old man, isn't it okay to reject Zeng Qinghua so directly? He is now older than our son, what if he takes revenge on us and charges us with a crime? Aunt Hua was worried.

"He didn't dare." The village chief took a puff of cigarette and spit out the circles in his eyes: "Do you think Mr. Wenren is an ordinary person?" There are also Chun Yu Gongzi and Puyang Gongzi, they are not ordinary people. The compound surname is only available to the nobles of the family in our Great Zhou. ”

"Mr. Wenren is a nobleman, so why did he live so badly before, almost his family was about to starve to death." Zhao Dali said curiously.

The village chief knocked on the ashes: "The persecution of the nobles is more powerful than our common people, Mr. Wenren should be the loser of the family struggle, and the first two years have been so miserable." But later, it should have been his side that turned the tables, and it should be proof that he returned to the capital with his wife, son and younger siblings that year. ”

"Mr. Wenren is a good person," Cuihua's sister-in-law praised, "even if he is developed, he has not abandoned the eldest girl's mother and son." I watched the singing in the play, that Chen Shimei not only abandoned his original wife and children but also killed them ruthlessly after becoming a concubine, Mr. Wenren is simply a saint among saints compared to him - Yao Huang wrote the stories of "Young Bao Qingtian" and "Bao Qingtian", and the masters of the opera garden changed several of the stories into big operas, which are not much different from the content of Peking Opera on the earth.

"The eldest girl is already very good, she deserves to be treated sincerely by men." Zhao Erniu has let go of the love of his youth, but Yao Hong is still the truest and most beautiful in his heart.

Shui Tao glanced at her husband, and wisely did not speak. She hugged her soft and warm son like a ball, and then looked at her daughter who was lying on her grandmother and coquettish, her heart warmed, and the current happiness was the most important thing.

"Grandmother, when are we going to eat?" Smelling the rich aroma coming from the kitchen, Koizumi's saliva flowed.

"Good boy, eat right away!" Aunt Hua took her two daughters-in-law into the kitchen. A few vegetarian dishes have already been cut and fried in the pot. The most important thing is the red stewed bear's paw in the pot, which has been stewed to the point that the flesh is glutinous and the juice is mellow -- the village chief, as the leader of the whole village, has been given a share of the bear's paw.

At the same time, the rumor family is also eating fragrant bear paws. Because there were two bear paws, Yao Hong steamed one and the other was braised with it. The delicacy conquers everyone's tongue directly.

"Sister Hong, after eating the dishes you cooked, I feel that my previous eighteen years have been in vain." Tang Xin'er snatched the last piece of bear paw and won the eyes of a few little guys. Tang Xin'er grimaced, her straightforward and lively personality was very popular with children, although she grabbed food with them. (To be continued......)
