Chapter 18: Practicing Love
readx; Five days later, the incident was finally resolved. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Everything is back on track. In the playground, a commendation and promotion meeting is being held. This time, Qin Daniu and about 20 people were promoted to platoon commanders. A silver bounty was also given. Qin Daniu took 20 taels of silver and walked out of the camp happily, and as soon as he came out, there was a large group of matchmakers and women introducing the girl to him and the soldiers. Now everyone knows that the military industry is high, the benefits are good, and the military can enjoy various benefits after marrying a soldier. So it became fashionable to give crops to soldiers.
Qin Da Niu got out of the crowd, and just walked a short distance when he was stopped by a group of homeless people. I saw an old man in his sixties say to Qin Daniu: "This military master, look at how beautiful my granddaughter is, please marry him and go home, just give us more money to live, otherwise you can buy us back and be subordinates, you don't need to give money just to give a bowl of porridge to live." ”
Then I saw a young woman pulling a boy and a woman and two children about six years old to come forward and say, "Master Jun, you can buy me back so that my father and my younger brothers and sisters can live." I'll make you cows and horses. The folk girl is 19 years old and has not yet married. Master Jun, you're okay! The woman wept and said.
Qin Daniu looked at the poor family, and also remembered his past, and his heart was extremely sympathetic, so he said: "Big sister, please don't be sad, I was the same as you a few months ago." I am 27 years old this year, and I am very different from you, and besides, Master Chen said that you can't take advantage of others. I'll help you with anything, and I don't like to sell people around like Lord Chen. Then you will come and stay in my house for a while. My family also has one less helper, I ask the two of you to help me do some housework, how about I give each person one or two packs of food and accommodation a month? ”
"Thank you, great benefactor." After speaking, the family knelt down and thanked Qin Daniu, who helped them up and went back together. Along the way, Qin Daniu bought several ingredients and a few sets of clothes for the homeless family. When I got home, my sister came out and shouted happily, "Big brother, you're back, who are those dirty people?" ”
"Little sister, don't be rude."
"Benefactor, don't be like this. And a few of you who have seen Miss soon. ”
"I've seen Miss." The other three walked in unison
"Hey, I don't need to call it that, I grew up in the countryside."
"This, that line can't lose its etiquette."
Hearing the movement outside the house, Brother Qin Daniu also came out and said, "Big brother, you're back." As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the items from Qin Daniu's hand.
Qin Da Niu handed over the items and said to his brother: "You go back and boil a pot of boiling water so that this uncle's family can take a good shower." ”
"Hmm."
Entering the house, Qin Daniu put on the dishes and chopsticks, and made a bowl of porridge for the family to cushion their stomachs, and there was also a plate of pickles. The four of them swept the table in the bowl at once. After eating, the old man said to Qin Daniu: "Let the benefactor surprise you." ”
"It's okay, I'll make some more delicious food later. Now pad your belly. ”
"That's, that's!"
Sit down for a while, and the water boils. The old man told the woman to go in first. The woman took her newly bought clothes and carried water into the shower room. Qin Da Niu went out and bought more wine and food.
After a while, Qin Da Niu brought a roast chicken, a pound of sausages and two pounds of liquor back. When I entered the house, I saw a beautiful woman in a green dress sitting at her dinner table chopping vegetables. Qin Daniu was fascinated by the door, and he stood for a moment and forgot to enter the door. Finally, his brother came out and said, "Brother, what are you standing at the door, don't you remember that this is your own home?" ”
As she spoke, the woman looked up and saw Qin Daniu who was looking at her, and she was ashamed and lowered her head and continued to do things. Qin Daniu also blushed at this time, and hurriedly pretended to be casual and said, "Talkative, hurry back and cook." After speaking, Qin Daniu carried the wine and food into the kitchen and began to stir-fry.
Outside the hall, the old man called his granddaughter outside and said, "Granddaughter, I don't know how you treat that soldier, I think he cares a little bit about you." What do you think? I don't force you anymore, he's a very straight man, I think it's worth it to live with him. ”
The woman was silent for a while before blushing and replied, "Grandpa, what do I want?" Now I just want you to have a place to eat and live. I haven't thought about anything else. ”
The old man sighed and said, "It's all your short-lived father, hey! I've been miserable for you babies. But now is not the time to sigh here, what do you think of that man? Tell me about it. ”
"Grandpa, I'm ~~~~~!"
"Give me a word, don't ramble around here."
The woman didn't answer.
"Otherwise, I nodded if I thought it was okay."
The woman didn't move.
"Hey! Forget it, otherwise if you don't say it, it's done. ”
The woman blushed and said, "Grandpa, you are so bad! With that, he walked back.
The old man smiled there and said, "That's it, it's done." But let's deal with the last grandson-in-law! ”
sat down on the stage to eat dinner, and the others were talking and laughing, only Qin Daniu and the woman were eating writhing there. The old man saw it, so he found a topic and said, "Benefactor, thanks to you, I have to eat and drink now." I'm here to toast you, and after speaking, I handed over the wine glass with both hands to toast.
Qin Da Niu also picked up the wine and replied: "You don't have to mind the effort." After saying that, the two of them clinked glasses and drank. When they had finished drinking, the woman served them wine. After taking a bite of the dish, the old man said again: "We are originally from Huguang, I don't know who the public is?" ”
Qin Daniu replied after eating: "I am originally from Shandong, but the year before last, my family suffered a drought and couldn't live. I just wandered all the time. It wasn't until I met two Chen adults this year that I got to where I am today. ”
"Hey, it's all over the place right now. This world is really impossible for people to live, fortunately thank you, come to my old man to toast you again. ”
The two of you have been drinking nearly ten cups all the time, and Qin Da Niu began to speak loudly. I also learned that the old man's surname was Lu, and his name was Lu Muda. The woman's name is Sanniang. The old man also learned the details of Qin Daniu's family.
At this time, there were only the two of them on the table, and the old man took advantage of Qin Daniu's wine and said, "I don't know how Lord Qin looks like my Sanniang." ”
"Ah, that Sanniang looks like she doesn't have to say. Ay! If only I could marry her, that would be great. Qin Da Niu said with a grin.
"There, there. Sanniang is my granddaughter, and it is her blessing to be so favored by adults! ”
"Hey, you see we're off topic, let's have a drink."
"It's okay, it's delicious."
After drinking, Qin Da Niu said again: "Do you know it, we Lord Chen said." When getting married, you should pay attention to a process, and that process is called love, and only then can you marry a good wife. ”
"How to do it, what is a wife?"
"To be in love is to go out and see and talk together. That wife is her own woman! ”
"How long will that take?"
"This~~~ Lord Chen didn't say it, I don't know!"
"Oh! In this way, you and Sanniang hurry up and go out for a walk, Sanniang, you come out and go out with Lord Qin to practice love. ”
Sanniang walked out and said, "I'll clean this up." ”
"Oh, there's no need for my old man to do this business, it's important to go out and get down to business." With that, he pushed the two out of the door. And now only Old Man Lu is at home alone, and the others have also gone out to play early in the morning. Old man Lu said as he cleaned up: "The customs that came, this thing still needs to be practiced." Is there something wrong with being a soldier? ”
Qin Daniu and Sanniang walked for a while, and then said to Sanniang: "What do you say about the love that our Lord Chen said?" ”
Sanniang replied: "I haven't practiced, I don't understand." It's still nice to come out for a walk though. ”
The two of them went to the tea stall to sit down and drink tea, drank a few sips of Qin Da Niu and said, "Sanniang, how are you practicing?" ”
"What, I don't know how!"
"Oh, there's a lot of people here, let's talk about it outside."
Walking to the road where there were few people, Qin Daniu said to Sanniang: "Sanniang, I think I have practiced, and now you may not think it is fun to be less." What about you? ”
Sanniang blushed and said, "I hate it." ”
"Ah, you still hate me, hey, it looks like ~~~~~~!"
"No, I~~ I've also practiced. It's just that people hate it, and you want people to say it. After speaking, Sanniang lowered her head embarrassedly.
Qin Da Niu snapped his head and said, "It's all my fault, but how do you know if you don't say it!?" After speaking, Qin Daniu took Sanniang's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go make a wedding ring." ”
Qin Daniu pulled Sanniang all the way to the jewelry store, and passers-by saw the intimate couple muttering from time to time.
After making the ring, the two happily returned to their residence. Old man Lu saw the two coming back hand in hand, so he happily said to himself: "It's really fast, this is done!" ”
The next day, Qin Daniu went to ask for leave early in the morning. At the temporary headquarters of the Shuangxiong Army, Chen Feng and the leaders of the battalions were talking. Suddenly, the guards outside came in to report: "Report, the platoon commander of the fifth platoon has something to ask to see." ”
"Well, let him in!"
"Yes!"
Entering the room, Qin Da Niu snapped and saluted: "Report, I, Qin Da Niu, want to ask for a leave of absence from the chiefs." ”
"Oh! The bull performed well on the battlefield, what is the matter now? Li Er asked
"Report to the camp leader, in the next ~~~ in the next I want to take a leave to go home~~~ go home to do something?"
"What to do, so slurred, to finish the matter. Otherwise, don't approve it! Li Er replied
Looking at the surrounding adults, Qin Daniu swallowed his saliva and replied loudly: "Report to all the adults, I have practiced love with a woman according to Lord Chen's method yesterday." Now I'm going to take a leave of absence and go back to get married. Please approve it! ”
"You Qin Da Niu is really capable, I will be a single person in my early thirties, you are fortunate to have a beauty to hug now. You have to talk to your brothers about how to practice, haha! Chen Zhongxin scolded with a smile.
"Well, the brothers' marriage should also be carefully considered, Qin Daniu, you can talk to everyone." Chen Feng attached.
"This~~~, hey, it's nothing, I directly told her the method that Master Chen told us, and I went out for a walk with him at night, and after eating something, I asked her if she had practiced. As a result, she blushed and said that she had also practiced. In the end, according to what Master Chen said, I went to the jewelry store and ordered a pair of rings. Hehe, Master Chen's method is suitable for us rough people. ”
"Da Niu, what does your mother-in-law look like, right?" Everyone asked.
"Hey! That Sanniang didn't have to say anything. In fact, what Master Chen said was really good, and the people who took her to the street all looked back at us. That long-term ambition is not like those old rich people, who dare not see people when they accept beauties at home. You also go to practice, you don't have to practice much, just talk to her if you like that, and then just go for a while. ”
"What a long ambition, Qin Daniu, you have done a good job, our Shuangxiong Army is like this, there is no need to hide anything. This is the style of the Shuangxiong Army, and it is the ability of our Shuangxiong Army. Ha ha! Well, I'll give you five days off, but this wine is indispensable. After Chen Feng finished speaking, he thought to himself: "Damn, falling in love makes this pile of dirt buns think that it is practicing love." Just practice. ”
Since then, the officers and soldiers have become popular since then, and those matchmakers and women also said that they practiced love when they introduced it. On the street, there began to be a pair of dog men and women. This trend spread to the people of Qinzhou in a short period of time. The rights of many women who usually can't even go out have improved a lot. The economy of the entire Qinzhou City has also prospered a lot, of course, there have been many opposition voices, but under the promotion and general trend of Chen Feng and the governor of Qinzhou. Opposition only does not stir up much of a storm.
At the same time, the artillery of the Shuangxiong Army was also improved, due to the success of the research of large steel pipes. The Furlong cannon has been redesigned to reload in the style of the Apocalypse. The sealing of the gun has improved a lot. At the same time, the barrel was made of a new steel pipe, and the gun became lighter. The gun wheels were also made into two large wheels, allowing the guns to turn and move better. The gun carriage is made so that it can move up and down 45 degrees and swing left and right 45 degrees. The shell was intended to be made in the shape of an arrow, but the explosive shell did not come out of the arrow shell, and because it did not have the ricochet of a round bullet, it was abandoned. Due to the limited processing diameter of steel pipes, only 2 pounds and 4 pounds can be made. At the same time, because the barrel of the tiger cannon does not need to be very particular, it is rolled into a steel sheet. Chen Feng and the others made the tiger squat cannon into the mortar style of later generations, which is divided into three types: 60, 90, 110, and 160. At the same time, in 60, 90 two types of explosive shells were adopted. The principle is to make a shell with a warhead and a launch section and a flying parallel wing, with a little arquebus at the bottom. After igniting the ignition rope, place the shell into the barrel. Then the shell firing section pushes out the entire shell. At the same time, the explosive part of the shell has a delay of about 0.5 seconds of arque. When the firing part is burned, the fire rope is lit before exploding. This basically ensures that the shells will not explode until they fall and hit the ground. The explosive part is 60mm, containing 5 taels of medicine, and at the same time, there are three taels of lead and iron. A pound of 90mm charge, 7 taels of lead and iron. Traditional shotshots are also made into a unified body, and they are also ignited by the springtail.
At the end of October, various crops also began to enter the harvest period. The crops of the two heroes are growing well with the help of manpower, material resources and technology. Others do not thrive due to the climate and insect infestations. In particular, most of Qinzhou is hilly, and many crops are basically not harvested. Only the flat land near the river can grow. It seems that there will be a large number of hungry people by the end of the year.
