Zhen was startled, and hurriedly went to help the man up, when did he have another brother?

Heifu also smiled and asked, "Ji Ying, what are you doing?" ”

Ji Ying raised his head and grinned: "Heifu's brother is my Ji Ying's brother, you should be a brother and a brother!" ”

As soon as he spoke, he beckoned, and everyone from Guishi came over one after another.

"That's right, the elder brother is also our brother."

Led by the Dongmen Leopard, in addition to the older Chao Bo, other Xiao Tao and Yu several young people also followed Ji Ying's example, and they were heartfelt, calling them uncles......

"This ...... I can't stand it. ”

Zhen was a little overwhelmed, but Heifu knew that his eldest brother didn't like to be the center of attention, so he quickly stopped everyone's too warm welcome and invited Zhen into the house.

But this simple greeting shows the prestige of Hauff in Shizhong.

"Uncle came here today, we are about to put meat in the kettle!"

Surrounded by the crowd, they followed them to the hut, where three or four people were squatting.

In the simple earthen stove, the firewood is thriving, the tall and large Mu squatted beside him, puffed out his cheeks and worked hard to blow the fire, a clay kettle was set on it, and the soup inside was already boiling.

Chao Bo Rangping used a short sword to cut the dried meat and slowly put it into the kettle, and instructed the two brothers to add yellow, orange and orange corn to the kettle, while he squinted his eyes and solemnly took out a small packet of salt from his arms, sprinkled it like a millet seed, and seasoned it into the soup......

"After I started to cook my own food a few days ago, I learned that Chao Bo had also made a fire in the army, and we were blessed."

As he spoke, Hefu sat down.

Everyone was born from a bitter background, and there was no need to learn from the nobles to kneel and sit politely, and after making friends with each other, they would sit cross-legged, and the clay bowl with the outside was dusty, but the inside was washed clean with stream water, and the court used a wooden scoop to divide the meat porridge.

Because he was reluctant to add salt, the taste of the porridge was a little lighter, but the jerky already had its own salt taste, and it was very fragrant to chew in the mouth, at least Heifu felt that it was much more delicious than the millet eaten in the street restaurant in Anlu County that day.

But Chao Bo didn't seem to be very satisfied with his craft, and after tasting it, he said that if it was not yet winter, he could go outside and find some sunflower vegetables and put them in the soup, which would be more delicious.

Even so, everyone had already regarded this as a delicacy and drank it in a hurry, and Mu and Ji Ying, the two hungry ghosts who were reincarnated by the two guys, were the first to finish eating, and immediately straightened their arms with shy faces, and handed the pottery bowl to the court: "Another bowl!" ”

Sincerely not as reckless as them, eating meat porridge in small bites, the mother often sighs at home, thinking that the second son will suffer when he comes to serve, and now it seems that not only did he not endure hardship, but his life was still very moist, and he could eat meat without the risk of freezing and hunger! Now he was relieved.

At this time, Chao Bo also came over to say hello to him, the two were of the same age, they were both from Yunmengxiang, and they both felt that the other party was a little kind. When I asked, I found out that the two had served together in the military and participated in the same war, but they were not in the same part.

"My middle brother served for the first time, and I thank the court for taking care of me these days." He was a sincere and humble person, and immediately thanked the courtier.

Chao Bo hurriedly stopped him: "How dare you, it's clear that the chief is carrying us, otherwise he wouldn't have lived this life of meat porridge, which has never been in the past dozen or so servants!" You say don't you? ”

"Yes! Thanks to Mr. Hefsh, we are where we are today! ”

Everyone agreed with Chao Bo's words, and then started with Ji Ying, you and I, talking about Heifu's heroic deeds in the past half a month.

from the robbery near Huyang Pavilion to one enemy and three enemies, to the county prison to get away with Bo Gongtang's witty offense; From being embarrassed by the Bin Bai generals in the service of the guard, to winning the championship in one fell swoop, the grievances were repaid, the reputation soared, and the county lieutenant praised him, and he was full of money......

Under Ji Ying's eloquence, these things murmured, and as soon as they were baked by the warm stove, they became a thrilling story!

He forgot that he was still holding a pottery bowl in his hand, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe that these things were done by his younger brother who didn't talk much since he was a child, and he was honest and honest?

"Brother Zhong, is that really the case?" After half a ring, he closed his mouth and looked at Heifu.

"These days, Heifu is also like in a dream, and thanks to my good luck, my father is blessed by the spirit of heaven, so even if I encounter some obstacles, I will be fine after all."

Heifu spread his hands, a little strange people talked, in his impression, the eldest brother is a person who doesn't want to cause trouble and likes to live quietly, Ji Ying is poor, why do you deliberately say things so tortuous and dangerous? Looking for a fight!

Unexpectedly, after a long silence, he stood up abruptly, patted Heifu on the shoulder, and laughed.

"My middle brother has grown up and has a future! Happy for my brother! ”

……

Although he allowed his relatives to come and deliver clothes and money, he was not allowed to stay overnight, and after eating and chatting a few words, he had to leave before dark, and he was going to spend the night in the county's guest house, and then slowly go home tomorrow morning.

Heifu let everyone disperse, and he walked out with his heart, and when he saw that there was no one around, he took out a heavy blanket in his arms and stuffed it into his heart......

His right hand was already carrying the five dried meat that Heifu had left for the family, and his left hand took the blanket, and he was suddenly heavy, and when he touched it, he knew that it was full of money, and he was suddenly startled.

"Brother Zhong, this is ......"

"That's the money I got from the cypress."

Heifu said with a smile: "Originally, there were four thousand, and I divided some with the people in Shizhong, and the 1,500 belonged to me, plus the reward for the previous capture and theft, a total of two thousand yuan, all of which were in it." I still have to do half a month of labor, and it's useless to put it on me, so it's better to hand it over to my uncle to take back. ”

"And what are you going to do with the money?"

"I still have three or four hundred left, enough to spend."

He hesitated, but Heifu relieved him, and chattered: "Heifu is not at home, he is surprised and naughty and ignorant, and on my mother's side, I have to rely on my uncle and sister-in-law Qiu to take care of it." My mother is not in good health, and her legs and feet are afraid of cold in winter, so my uncle can take a look at the market tomorrow morning, buy a sheepskin jacket, and let my mother cover her legs to ward off the cold. ”

"The farm tools at home are old and broken, and the spring farming can not be delayed, my uncle will buy some farm tools by the way, remember to buy iron, which is easy to use."

"Sister-in-law Qiu has been married to her uncle for seven years, and there have been many things in the family one after another, and she has become poorer and poorer, she can't add a new dress all year round, and the money and silk obtained from weaving cloth day and night are kept for me and shocking these two big rice buckets to fill my stomach."

"Heifu used to be ignorant, but now he understands the difficulties of his uncle and sister-in-law Qiu, and asks his uncle to look at the suitable silk and cloth in the market, and buy some back to make clothes for sister-in-law Qiu, as well as nephews and nieces. They had no clothes to wear, and my nephew was even bare-chested, and it was sad to think about the fact that the guests had to hide in the house when they came......"

As he spoke, Heifu felt sad for a while, his family was a public servant, and he was no longer the poorest in the family, but it was still so difficult to make the whole family have enough food and clothing.

The eldest brother is the pillar of the family, and the eldest brother is like a father, who gritted his teeth and bent on it in the past few years, so that Heifu and he were not hungry. As a result, he himself was young, and he had several gray hairs on his sideburns, and he was slightly hunched on his back, and life in this era was really not easy.

Therefore, he wants to repay his kindness, not only for his mother, but also for his eldest brother.

Heifu finally said: "As for the surprise, tell him, settle down to serve his mother, take his nephew and niece well, and when I go back, pick a good short sword for him!" ”

"Brother Zhong, in this way, five or six hundred dollars will be spent......"

Looking at his second brother from the bottom of his heart, he didn't know whether to be relieved or helpless, if he spent money like this, he would not be able to live. In his opinion, all this money should be handed over to his mother, pressed under the bed and saved, waiting for the black husband to build a new house and marry a wife when the family is divided.

Heifu smiled disappreciatively: "Don't worry, uncle, Heifu hereby promises that my family's future days will get better and better!" The daughter is gone, and she comes back! ”

"The daughter is gone, and she comes back......"

Repeating this sentence from the heart, he felt a little frightened, and scolded: "I only got three or two thousand dollars in hand, so what kind of gold do you say, ...... you?"

I can't cry or laugh, but my heart is warm, my younger brother has this ambition, which is also a good thing, and he doesn't want his two younger brothers to be like himself, doing nothing, and half of his life will pass in a daze.

It was not too early, and the two of them said goodbye, and as they carefully collected the money, and limped out, the black man shouted from behind again.

"Uncle!"

When I turned my head and saw Heifu squirming at him: "My brother's legs are inconvenient, and I have bought a lot of things, so when I go back, don't walk, rent an ox cart along the way!" Remember, remember! Don't be reluctant to spend money! ”

"The same goes for Hef! I'll tell my mother what you say, and I'll see you in half a month! ”

He waved his hand helplessly, telling Heifu to go back quickly, it seemed that he had to have a lot of luxury, and took the car home.

"My family's life will get better and better......"

He turned his head and looked at the gradually setting sunset, and smiled with satisfaction: "I hope so!" ”
