This woman is Luo Feng's second sister-in-law, the second brother only married in the door last year, and she is the daughter of a hunter in the next mountain village. After getting married, he was very filial to his in-laws, and he was also good to his brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

She didn't have a single ornament on her body, her clothes were washed white, and she had a few patches, and her face was vegetable.

Luo Feng nodded a little heavily.

The third sister is one and a half years older than him, and she is more than seventeen years old this year, so she should have married early at this age. However, the Luo family is poor and has not been able to raise any dowry for their daughter, so it is inevitable to delay. The fourth sister is more than a year younger than him, and she is only more than fourteen years old this year, and she is not yet at the age of marriage.

But now the family is in difficulty, several men are all outside, and they will not come back for a while, and the family can't hold on, so someone comes to ask for marriage, and finally has to agree.

Qin wiped the moist corners of his eyes and said, "Your third sister and fourth sister's in-laws are very reasonable, knowing that our family is poor, they didn't ask for any dowry, and gave some dowry. ”

The sister-in-law said on the side, "Your third sister and fourth sister's in-laws have taken three buckets of millet as a gift. ”

Sandou millet, a very thin ceremony, but then again, now it is not as good as in previous years, and now the situation in this Qi County is almost the same, the labor is heavy, the men have been serving outside for a long time, the land is abandoned, everyone is almost unable to eat, and the price of food is also rising.

After all, people haven't asked the Luo family to give a dowry, you know, the folk customs of the Sui Dynasty, a woman must have a dowry when she marries, and even the amount of dowry can determine the status of her husband's family after marriage. If there is no dowry, there will be no face and no security in the husband's family.

Now that the two sisters are getting married empty-handed, it must be very difficult.

"Xiao Wu, my mother has no choice, not long after you left, the family will be out of cooking."

A woman's family, in such a situation, how can she support this family. A woman, pulling a group of female streamers, is really helpless.

"Mother, I'm back, our family will be fine in the future. I will tell you a good news, because of my work in capturing bandits, the county order appreciated, and I was specially allowed to enter the county government fast class to do the fast catch, with this errand, I don't have to do other classes in the future, and I can often take care of my family when I do errands in the county in the future. Moreover, you can also have a good income to subsidize your family. ”

"By the way, my son got a reward for catching the thief, and when my son came back, he bought a stone of millet and a few buckets of rice and noodles, and there was a lot left, which was enough for our family to pay off the old debts we owed in the past."

Luo Feng said, leading his horse over and removing the bag containing the money from the saddle.

The heavy money bag opened to a string of copper coins.

So much money frightened Luo Qin's family, so much money she estimated that there were at least dozens of dollars, an ordinary family, where to see any money, hard work, after paying the rent, she had to hand over the grain in the warehouse, and the rest was a little grain, and she had to be frugal everywhere.

Several women in the family raised silkworms and weaved cloth for the family to wear, and the remaining little was handed over to the public adjustment, and the rest could be exchanged for salt and the like.

To be honest, all year round, there are actually not a few copper coins in my hand, or even almost no money, and the general business is also bartered.

When will you be able to see dozens of dollars in cash?

"Xiao Wu, all this money is rewarded by the county order?"

"That's right, it's all rewarded by the county order, ten times for catching a thief, twenty times for the second thief, and the county order also gave us an additional five times. The third uncle also has a share, and everyone has a reward. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone next to them was envious.

Twenty-five times, so much money, many of them have never seen so much money in their lives.

"A-Niang, this horse is also newly bought by me, with this horse, it will be convenient for me to come back when I work as an errand in the county in the future. Tomorrow, I will take my mother to the county to buy some cotton silk and new cloth, and make some new clothes and shoes for my mother and sister-in-law. ”

Looking at the money, Luo Qin's family felt like he was in a dream.

At this time, Uncle Luo and Xiao Jiu and the seven of them were also telling the family members around them about the experience of going out, especially the lucky things when they came back. Bags of money and a handful of food made their families happy.

Originally, I was happy enough to see my family who had been away from serving for a long time come back, but who would have thought that I would be able to bring back so much money and food.

With so much money and food, you don't have to worry about it anymore this winter, or even for a long time.

"Mother, let's go home first."

········

When he arrived at home, Luo Feng took out the noodles from the food that Xiaoliu picked back, "Mother, my son will make you a meal of pasta to eat later." ”

The two sisters-in-law came forward happily, "Fifth uncle, you have worked hard all the way back, you should rest here, and let our women do the cooking." ”

"Sister-in-law, during the time that our brothers were not at home for so long, thanks to the help of the two sisters-in-law at home, let me cook this meal."

Luo Mu pulled Qin Qiong to inquire about the situation of the Qin family in Licheng, and after learning that Qin Qiong's father died ten years ago, she couldn't help but sigh, and she was also very relieved to know that Qin Qiong was now a soldier in Youyiwei and was valued and appreciated by his boss.

"The Qin family in Licheng has always been a poetry heirloom, although you abandon literature and martial arts, although it is not a family heirloom, but it is also a way out. Work hard in the army, and you will be able to earn a lord heirloom in the future, and the lintel of the Qin family in Licheng will be honored. ”

"Thank you aunt for your encouragement, my nephew is also not able to learn literature, and he has lived up to his father's expectations. However, I think the fifth cousin is a talent, although he is young, but he is brave and resourceful, and now he has saved the daughter of the county order, and he has been valued and appreciated by the county order, and I think it is also promising. He said, "My cousin is young now, so let him go to the county for a few years first, and when he becomes a Ding, I will find an opportunity to help us protect my personal favor with us, and see if I can let him also go to Youyiwei to be a soldier, so that he can earn a reputation and a future heirloom." ”

"Sit down, I'll cook." Luo Feng said.

The fifth sister volunteered to follow, "I'll light the fire." ”

Luo's house is a small courtyard, three main houses in the north, one chamber on each side of the east and west, and an inverted house on the south side, which is equivalent to the pattern of a quadrangle, the area is not small, but it is all thatched with earthen walls, which looks low and dilapidated.

The kitchen is on the side of the door, the window is very small, the door is also very low, when you go in, it feels dark and not in the middle of winter, there is not even a serious stove, but there is a fire pit in the middle, and a very simple stove is built on it.

There are no iron pots, only a few clay pots.

The simple kitchen couldn't be simpler, which made Luo Feng, who came in with flour, a little stunned.
