Lao Wang's pace is very slow, following behind the pack horse, swaying slowly, enjoying this rare peace.

The sky has darkened, and the courtyards of the surrounding neighbors have been lit up with sporadic light, but the courtyard of the old Wang's house is still dark.

Lao Wang felt a lot of helplessness in his heart, if he could join the guards under Su Duwei, not to mention a fifteen-cent candle, even if it was the white wax used by the son of the rich man Li at the head of the village, he could buy it.

Dahao in the next village is in the army, that kid divided ten taels when he suppressed bandits in Sanniangzi Mountain, and then successively divided twenty or thirty taels, if I can join the guard, even if there is no dead pension of five hundred taels, the first dozens of taels can also make the family live a good life.

"Daddy, why did you buy so many things and come back, and you have to spend a lot of money, right?"

Dani took it out of the yard, looked at the package on the pack horse, and asked with distress on her cheeks.

Lao Wang smiled and showed the oiled paper package in his hand to Dani: "Nier, look, what did Dad bring you?" ”

Erni, who followed behind, poked her head, flattened her nose, and smiled with her eyebrows: "It's meat, big sister, it's meat." ”

Lao Wang drove the pack horse into the yard, handed the oiled paper bag to Dani, and the wrinkled cheeks bloomed with joy:

"This is a reward from Lord Duwei, let me bring you three something to eat, and say let you open the meat."

"This oil paper bag was handed to me by the little personal soldier of Lord Du Lieutenant."

Dani wrapped the oil paper for Sanni to take, and came over to help Lao Wang unload the grain from the back of the pack horse, and Erni deftly drilled over, holding the bridle of the pack horse, and did not let the pack horse move.

Unloading the grain, Lao Wang took the towel brought by his mother-in-law and wiped his sweat, and his wrinkled face smiled: "I brought some meat back, you cut some for the old man, I haven't seen meat at home for a few days." ”

The old lady Wang is a small-minded woman, distressed by the hard work of the pack horse, looking at the oil paper wrapped by Sanni, distressed like something:

"Ah, how can you give so much meat, are you secretly working for the captain, it's tiring enough to walk the pack horse during the day, you have to take care of your body more."

Dani had already untied the two bags that had been unloaded from the pack horse, and when she saw the copper coins and grain in the bags, she silently calculated:

"Dad, not counting this bag of grain, the money given this time is thirty percent more than usual, and the work of this official family is too good."

Lao Wang wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "It's not a problem, when I went before, I regretted that I couldn't hide it, the official's money, it was so easy to get, the money given was small, and it was dangerous."

This time it was also dangerous, but Captain Su commanded effectively, the brothers of the guards fought bravely, and our people basically did not encounter any danger. ”

Erni picked up her pockets, her little eyes rolled around a few times, and she calculated and said: "Counting this bag of grain, it is four percent higher than the market price, Dad, is there such a job, next time I will go with you?" ”

The old mother-in-law beat the dust on her body to the master, and when she heard Erni's words, she gave Erni a towel:

"You dead girl, can you go to that chaotic place, be a female celebrity at home, and when your eldest sister gets married, my mother still expects you to help me open the house."

Listening to the noise of his wife and daughter, Lao Wang's eyebrows and eyes were also like the second daughter, smiling and blooming, he was tired and tired outside, didn't he just want the four of them to live a good life, watching Erni and Sanni drooling around the barbecue, Dani helped the mother-in-law cook the pot, and the swarthy face of the old Wang felt warm.

"Give Grandpa a portion of the meat."

Lao Wang instructed Erni and said, sitting on the stool, Lao Wang has the demeanor of the head of the family. looked at the mother-in-law who was busy by the stove, and added another sentence:

"Your grandfather will send one over there, too."

The mother-in-law's eyebrows and eyes were also happy, her hand patted her clothes, and she said:

"Third child, you dare to try it, be careful about your skin, I'll divide it, you don't have to worry about it."

Although she was scolding, the corners of the old Wang's eyes were full of laughter, when was the last time there was so much meat in the house?

In the year of marriage, my in-laws borrowed a famine on a river beach, and it seems that they didn't buy so much meat.

Our old king has suffered.

After eating, Lao Wang lay on the kang, and his mother-in-law's tossing and turning made him irritable, and he reached out and slapped his mother-in-law's buttocks: "What are you making a fuss, don't hurry up and go to sleep." ”

"I can't sleep."

"You are tired and light, last time we slept under the bandit village in Erlong Mountain, Captain Su in the guard was on duty, and he didn't dare to close his eyes all night, and now he took my car back to Beiyang, and he didn't even open his eyes along the way."

"Master, can we still have a turn to do such a job?"

The old lady finally asked what was in her heart, she ate a lot of barbecue tonight, and it tasted so delicious.

The old lady Wang has been calculating for a long time, and feels that although this trip is farther, she has made enough money, and there is also that bag of grain, if it is in a famine year, this bag of grain is worth the silver money of Lao Wang's trip.

Lao Wang smiled and didn't speak, he really listened before leaving, but Su Duwei said it himself, let him go to the Nanguan camp in two days to gather, such a money, he can at least take it again.

And in the past few days, he has used his sleepiness to annoy Captain Su, in order to make him remember himself, even if he can't join the guard, let himself follow him every time to have a job to do.

Lao Wang's daughter-in-law misunderstood what he meant, and sighed in disappointment:

"If it's gone, it's gone, and Beizheng doesn't run there. I heard from Li Zheng in my aunt's village that four or five descendants in Beisanli were folded on the way to Beizheng, and the pack horses were not left behind. ”

Lao Wang was excited when he heard this, and said happily: "I have met, and I have also met those bandits." ”

This time, not only was the old lady Wang afraid, but even the three little girls who were eavesdropping in the next room also screamed out in fear.

Lao Wang pressed down the mother-in-law who wanted to teach Nizi a lesson with the soles of her shoes, and said happily:

"Otherwise, how do you think that bag of grain came from, it was Captain Su who dug out the bandits' nest and got it out, and gave us one bag each, and the guards who traveled with us were two bags per person."

"The treatment of this guard is too good." The old mother-in-law felt pantothenic acid in her heart.

Lao Wang lay down and began to get confused: "Well, Ming'er, you pack up a few eggs, I'll take Da Nizi and go to Du Wei's place to go around, Du Wei hasn't married a wife yet, if you can let Du Wei answer the matter of letting me join the guard, it's best if you can't, you can take a fancy to Dani, then we can make a lot of money." ”

"Why did you join the Guard......

When the old lady heard the sound of snoring, she subconsciously swallowed back the words behind, got up, helped the old king cover her stomach, and lay down herself, but her heart was full of the words of the old king, and joined the guard.

The next day, Lao Wang told his mother-in-law about the benefits of joining the guard, and her mother-in-law's eyes were straight.

"Can you get five hundred taels when you die?"

"My mother-in-law, how can you take so many miles, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, the five hundred taels of silver didn't blow in the wind, he can take it out casually when he patrols the city camp."

Lao Wang urged Dani to fill the basket with eggs, and glared at the mother-in-law:

"I've heard it with my own ears, can it be fake? Erhao of Dongjiazhuang in the west of the city died in the suppression of bandits, so he took five hundred taels, and when I passed by Dongjiazhuang today, I asked about it. ”

"Dead Nizi, why are you so slammed on three or two eggs."

Lao Wang counted down the eldest daughter, and he had to do it himself, although the old Wang mother-in-law chattered and didn't believe it, she still did it herself and put all the eggs in the family into the basket, which is a great thing about the family.

……

As soon as Su Lu got up, he heard a familiar loud voice in the courtyard.

"Da Nizi, hurry up and take the broom, how can you let the adult's personal soldiers sweep the floor, we can do such rough work."

Su Lu wondered in his heart, could it be that when he was not at home, Su Yun hired someone?

But how is this voice a little familiar, like the old king who has been chasing him to join the guard for the past few days.

Hallucinations, hallucinations for sure.
