As the date of the tour is approaching, the preparations on the Wei Mansion side are almost over, and Xie Jiu really sorted out the most suitable luggage bag as she said. Empress Changsun considered that the two children of the Wei Mansion would also follow, so she specially dialed a carriage to come out to load their luggage and belongings, which was careful and considerate, which was touching.

When he came out, he was with His Majesty Li Er's army, and it was a very formal occasion at that time, and the private send-off could only be two days in advance. Wei Yan has been busy with the issue of official handover recently, in order to free up the time for a few days before leaving, firstly, so that his father-in-law and stepmother can see them off for a narrative, and secondly, he can calmly make final preparations and clean up.

In the spacious and bright side hall of the Wei Mansion, there are food and snacks on the table, and the family sits and chats and talks. A large Persian carpet was laid in the middle, and the unicorn twins were rolling around on it, occasionally jumping up, running over to their parents to hug and coquetry, and the family was happy.

The Qin Mansion has invited the matchmaker to go to the Huo Wangfu to say goodbye, and the family affairs of the two mansions have been booked, so they will marry Niuniu back step by step according to the etiquette. Wei Yan was very happy to hear it, and she was also very emotional, the little girl in the past is now a big girl who wants to be a daughter-in-law, and she is emotional.

"You and Si Si Gu are on temporary duty in Shang Pharmacy, as the imperial doctor, Your Majesty wants to go on patrol, and it is your duty to be on the side, but it is a pity for the two children, so young you have to run with your parents."

The godmother walked over and picked up Linlin, and touched his smiling silly tender face distressedly. The godmother loves these two children very much, but in comparison, she values boys more, saying that boys are the ones who inherit the incense, and daughters will one day belong to someone else's family.

Wei Yan and Xie Jiu didn't care about such thoughts, after all, it was impossible for the older generation to ask her to open up like a young man, especially a young man who had crossed over from the two of them. Wei Yan thinks. The daughter will marry in the future, so she should hurry up and take advantage of the pain when she is at home, so as not to be deceived in the future. Girls have to be raised like treasures so that they won't be easily deceived by sweet words, and boys have to be able to withstand beatings. Otherwise, how can I be on my own in the future.

Wei Yan said with a smile: "Godmother, don't worry, Li'er and Sister-in-law Liu will also follow at that time, and they can take care of it with their help." Qi'er Lin'er has never left me and Sisi since she was a child, and she will cry when she doesn't see her for a day, otherwise, I want to leave the child to my godmother and ask my godmother to take care of it. ”

Speaking of this, the old lady nodded Linlin's head with some pain and hatred, and said angrily: "It's this ghost spirit, smiling all day long." When I don't see my mother, I cry wow, I can't coax it, it's sticky! ”

I clicked twice and couldn't help but kiss lovingly, but my feelings for Linlin were quite contradictory. The unicorn twins had also saved the idea of taking care of them for two days in the past. The elderly have nothing to play at home except mahjong poker and checkers, and they are happy to help with children. It's just that the unicorn twins are born, it's okay to hold them for a while, it's absolutely impossible to stay overnight, sleep at night without their mother coaxing, without their father to hold them, the crying of the two sisters and brothers can definitely make people tinnitus. The old lady once hugged the past without believing in evil. As a result, I was sent back overnight that night, and I couldn't bear the crying of the two sisters and brothers one after another.

Wei Yan and Xie Jiu are going out, and things in the Wei Mansion. For the time being, the housekeeper and Wei Wen presided over it, Dahu followed Wei Xie and his family out, and Erhu stayed to assist Wei Wen and the housekeeper to take care of the house, after all, Erhu is already a person with a family, and it seems a little unkind to call people to go. If Lin Lei has something important, he can go to the Qin Mansion to see Old Man Qin and Qin Wei, and let them make up their minds. Everything is arranged.

I talked about trivia for a while. The godmother and stepmother always take the trouble to tell them again and again. Old Man Qin couldn't stand it anymore, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay." The two of you, it's really an old lady who just goes out on patrol with His Majesty, and there are various state capitals to greet and receive you all the way, compared to when the old man marched to the battlefield, the days are much more comfortable, where to go, who is not a good place to eat and drink? Where is the need for you to be so nagging! ”

As soon as he said this, the old man touched the moldy head of the two old ladies, and the two of them counted the old man's not coming, from how he worked hard to manage the family business when he married the old man, and how the old man fought outside all day long, how they worried about the beginning, and how they were old now, how the old man disliked them, in short, it was a posture to read from the first day of junior high school to the fifteenth place.

"Look, still say it's not nagging, how many years ago this happened, and I'm still talking here, it's not a shame! Boss, fourth, let's go out, don't see the same as the girls! ”

Old Man Qin had a headache when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand, calling Wei Yan and Qin Wei to go out, and implement the superior strategy of "hide if you can't be provoked". Wei Yan snickered and glanced at Xie Jiu, Xie Jiu nodded understandingly, and Wei Yan went out with the old man and Qin Wei. After the three men went out, Xie Jiu stepped forward with a smile and persuaded the two old ladies to let them dissipate their anger, and the three of them chatted together and teased the children together. The two old ladies were very reluctant to leave this pair of babies, and they were sad before they left, so Xie Jiu had to say good words of relief.

The three fathers and sons sat down in the main hall, made a pot of tea, and chatted again with the fragrance of tea. The old man had a long experience of traveling, and Wei Yan remembered that he had the urge to turn green when he remembered the long journey that could be expected, so he simply asked the old man about his experience on this question.

When the old man heard this, he directly gave him a roll of his eyes, and scolded with a smile: "Where is the trick, it's just the word patience." Do you think everybody is a lazy boy like you? When I was a father, I really tied my head to my belt, lived day by day, and earned all my life, just thinking about being able to eat enough, to survive, to make my wife and children safe and secure, to glorify my ancestors, to be glorious and rich, where to have time to want to suffer and suffer! ”

Wei Yan was said to be quite ashamed, it feels like an old man told him that when he was a doctor, the salary was only a few yuan and everyone wanted to rush to do it, but now the salary is thousands, and some of their young children still dislike low wages, tired work, the difference of the times, and the difference in concepts. Therefore, there are always people of the older generation lamenting that people are more and more difficult to endure from generation to generation.

Wei Yan smiled, simply changed the topic, and lured the old man to start talking about the years of conquest. When people are old, they like to talk about the past, like to be nostalgic, do small, do not ask you to do great things, just occasionally calm down and tell the old man about his past. Just listen patiently to his nagging. Sometimes, the old people really don't have high requirements for young people, just like the song that has been sung badly, just go home and see it. People are afraid of loneliness.

The women were talking and laughing in the side hall, and the father and son were talking in the main hall, but they were talking brightly, rolling up their sleeves, and their faces were full of red light, obviously drinking tea, but they were excited as if they had drunk wine, and the people who spoke were happy, and the people who listened were also happy. The guy still applauded from time to time, shouted for the old man, and occasionally whistled, which made the old man more and more interested. said it more excitingly, the words, that tone, often heard Qin Wei and Wei Yan laugh, when it was rising, the old man actually talked about the gossip of the rest of the veterans of the Locust Army when they were young, who fell in love with the fantouer, and brought gold and silver to redeem the fantouer, but the fantouer actually didn't agree; Who has bet with someone for something, drank and so on, and so on, I can hear Wei Yan's eyes bright. I secretly wondered if I wanted to write it out for future generations, and the name was to expose the true face of the famous generals in history.

After chatting happily for a day, it was late in the evening. Wei Yan decided to cook in person and make a table of delicious food, the old man was very interested, carrying Qin Wei's collar, and said that he was going to give Wei Yan a hand, saying that he wanted to behave well today, and he had been letting the two old wives serve and take care of him. Today, too, I want to show my means. Take care of the two old wives. Hearing the tears of the stepmother and godmother, the stepmother said, "Old man." Today you made a bowl of wooden stakes for the concubine, and the concubine will also eat it as a delicacy! ”

The godmother wiped her tears on the side and nodded wildly in approval. The old man actually blushed when he heard this, glanced at Wei Yan, who was snickering on the side, and then at the eldest son, who was a little stunned and obviously couldn't react, and simply went into the kitchen with one in one hand and the collar.

After wiping away their tears, the two old ladies were full of red light, and they were very active and ran to the dining room early to sit down, stretching their necks, hooking their heads, and waiting for the old man to "show his skills". Xie Jiu chuckled, hugged the child, and talked to the two old ladies who were obviously absent-minded, listening to them nagging about the old man, intentionally or unintentionally. "Carry the hand of the son, grow old with the son", "grow old with the white head", but this is the case, in the future, when she and Wei Yan are white, will they be the same? Xie Jiu looked forward to it.

Xie Jiu thought about it in the dining room, and it was very moisturizing, but Wei Jiu's head was about to turn white in the kitchen. Originally, the old man made a good hand, and saw that Wei Yan's cooking seemed to be very simple, but he actually moved his mind to make a dish himself, and the name of the dish was called wild vegetable paste soup, it is said that when the army was marching and fighting, this was a standing meal.

Spring is the time when wild vegetables are fresh and tender, Wei Yan this guy loves to tinker with food, some farmers go to the mountains to get it, see always to buy some from others back to get their own food, over time, the farmers also know the hobby of the owner. Wei Yan and Xie Jiu have a good reputation and image in the village, and they are quite supported and loved, and they know that the owner and the owner's wife also like to eat some wild vegetables as much as they do.

Every time I give money, the farmers don't want it, saying that even if it is a vegetable in the vegetable field, familiar relatives and friends can pick it if they want to eat, not to mention some people who don't need money, wild vegetables picked from the mountains, etc., and they are even more embarrassed to collect money from Wei Yan, and the villagers are embarrassed to see people after receiving money.

Wei Yan saw that people didn't collect money, and he also understood in his heart that people didn't want this, so they often walked around the Zhuangzi when they had free time, and occasionally encountered someone who was sick or something, they gave it to him for free, which can be regarded as neighborly mutual assistance, helping each other, everyone is happy, and he will receive things with peace of mind. They are all farmers, no one has any surplus food, and they are not big businessmen like Said, and a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Wei Yan's way is to at least accept the money, and he will not feel uneasy in his heart, and he will not sweat coldly when he dreams back in the middle of a night one day.

The old man said that he wanted to show his skills, Wei Yan and Qin Wei obviously had reservations, and Wei Yan even asked: "Dad, can you tell which one is salt?" ”

In exchange for this, the old man slapped Wei Yan on the back of the head, plus a glare, and the old man snorted: "Look down on you Lao Tzu!" When you were cooking and eating salt, you didn't know where you were with a pimple! Look, watch the old man show his hand well, you kid of the province stinks all day long! ”

Then, the old man began to perform the knife technique - chopping wild vegetables! A bundle of wild vegetables, just a few clicks, the knife technique is fast and neat, that is crisp, that neat, the eyes of Wei Yan are about to come out, I don't know if the old man is too devoted, or the strength is too much, or the cutting board of Wei Yan's house is too thin, when the last knife is made, it is actually split into three pieces, the wild vegetables are scattered on the ground, and the father and son look at each other, speechless for a while.

The old man's face did not change, at this moment, he was no longer alone, at this moment, Cheng Zhijie's soul was possessed, and at this moment, Cheng Zhijie fought with him. So, the old man said lightly: "What kind of cutting board are you?" It is so useless that it is too thin, and another day, the Father will have someone sawn a piece of pear wood for you, and it will be twice as thick, and it will not crack even if you chop wood on it. ”

There is a righteous father. ”

Wei Yan looked at the sky with his eyes and responded lightly. In other words, the cutting board in his house is 30 centimeters thick, is it still thin? Can you expect the so-called thick pear wood cutting board in the mouth of the stepfather to be one meter thick? In other words, the old man's hand strength is really scary, and he is worthy of practicing martial arts.

In the kitchen, in addition to the accident of splitting the cutting board, the old man's show of skills finally went smoothly, there was no danger to the end, of course, if you ignore the mess in the kitchen, it should be a successful, great, positive activity, I just hope that when the kitchen lady of the Wei Mansion comes in to clean up the kitchen, she will not cry while cleaning up.

When the stepmother and godmother almost didn't turn into Wangfu Stone, the dishes were finally ready, and all the dishes were served one by one, Wei Yan and Qin Wei invariably picked up the bowl and said, "Try this wild vegetable paste soup first, it looks quite fresh." ”

The two glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, and a person with a very tacit understanding served a bowl, looked at each other again, and encouraged each other, Wei Yan also silently recited Uncle Lei Feng, Brother Dong Cunrui, and Comrade Qiu Shaoyun in his heart, and then took a sip with a solemn expression: "It's very good, it's very fragrant, fresh and tender, and the fragrance of batter, my father-in-law has good craftsmanship!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his thumb without hesitation, the old man touched his beard, smiled and deservedly looked like he was happy: "Try it all, the old man was the best at this back then, and your Uncle Cheng and Uncle Li both liked to eat it." ”

At that moment, one person filled a bowl and drank it with a snort, Wei Yan had a good appetite and drank two bowls in a row, but, strangely, the old man Qin didn't drink a sip, and Wei Yan couldn't help but ask the reason curiously. The old man rolled his eyes, looked at Wei Yan with disdain, and said, "If you have been drinking batter soup for several years in a row, can you still drink it now?" ”

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, Zi understood, his son understood, then the father-in-law should eat other dishes, this batter soup will be made by us, it is indeed very good! ”

A group of people giggled and drank soup, but the two old ladies were not angry with the old man at this time, looking at the old man's eyes, quite distressed and pity, presumably remembering the scars of the old man's body, the hard work of leaving home to fight abroad in the years when he was young. Thinking of those, the little anger just now became insignificant.
