Chapter 37 Chinese New Year, the Li Family, and Relatives
Summing up a lot of problems, Wang Dou asked Zhong Rong to be recorded in the military books one by one, and these battle records will become valuable assets in the army in the future.
Wang Dou also let people buy a few pigs and sheep, everyone can let go of eating meat on this day, everyone is smiling, so many years, it is the most down-to-earth this year.
In addition to killing pigs and slaughtering sheep, from this day onwards, men and women in the fort also worked together, and everyone made white flour steamed buns together. A big basket of white flour steamed buns kept steaming out, so that everyone was satisfied. Like meat, in the few days of the Chinese New Year, everyone in the fort can eat white-flour steamed buns with an open stomach.
It's rare, how many years have passed, and many people have forgotten the taste of white flour steamed buns.
The wheat grinds out the first flour for fine white powder, steamed steamed buns are snow-white and snow-white, but the white flour is precious, and it is not easy to grind the flour.
After Wang Dou recruited military households, although he let them eat enough every day, he only ate some millet grains such as millet and sorghum on weekdays, and sometimes ate wheat after grinding three or four dishes, and the yellow steamed buns and black steamed buns mixed with bran were finally able to eat happily today.
In everyone's busy work and laughter, everyone's feelings for Tunpu are also deeper, although Jingbian Fort has been established for less than half a year, but many people have regarded this place as their home, the root of the future.
……
In the past two days, Yang Tong and Qi Tianliang both brought Dongjiazhuang's children to celebrate the New Year, in the past, when they were Dunjun, their parents, brothers and several children lived in Dongjiazhuang, and they also took their wives back to Zhuang for the New Year. This year, the whole family will come to Jingbian Fort for the New Year, and after the fort wall is built in a few months, the whole family will move over to live.
Seeing the happy appearance of the family, the two of them will not talk about their spirit.
Unlike Qi and Yang, Zhong Rong still went back to Dongjiazhuang for the New Year, and Wang Dou paid him a few months of rice and sent a military household to send him back. When Zhong Rong returned to the village, he also brought a basket of white flour steamed buns, in addition to a few catties of meat, some dry goods, snacks and candies. Such a rich New Year's goods, so that when Zhong Rong returned to the village, he felt quite exhaled and raised his eyebrows, presumably those who excluded him in the past will be shocked when they see Zhong Rong today! ”
Wang Dou said: "As an elder, how dare Shibo take a precious step? It is time to let Wang Dou go to the mansion to confess. ”
Li Jichen was a little surprised by Wang Dou's conversation, he glanced at Wang Dou a few more times, and said lightly: "It's to be more close!" ”
Nodding slightly, he closed the curtains.
Looking at the bridge where Li Jichen and his party were gone, Wang Dou's expression was a little cold. In Xinzhuang, Li Jichen is a big family, owning a lot of land and collecting rent every year. In Xinzhuang and some other villages, there are many families who are tenants of their families, and they also own many industries in the state capital.
And the Li family is still a generation of scholars, the ancestor Li Tinggui has been lifted, and there is a Dengke Fang in Baozhou City. Li Jichen was also born and donated a place for prisoners. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the squires were known for their greed, and they were powerful, and had various privileges such as enslavement, Li Jichen was a student, and he occupied as many as 1,000 acres of fertile land near Xinzhuang. Although there are only a few townships in Baoan Prefecture, the squires are also powerful, which has seriously impacted the local Li Changjia system.
In Wang Dou's memory, since the death of his father, the Li family also had the idea of their own home.
In the past, Li Jichen could be said to be upright and would not look at himself, but today he may have seen that he raised the general flag, so he talked to himself a few words. However, although he was polite, his expression was cold, and when he looked at him next to the bridge, several slaves of the Li family also looked disdainful, obviously a martial artist like Wang Dou, and a small general banner, which was not worthy of their Li family's deep friendship.
Han Zhong was also a little unaccustomed to the momentum of Li Jichen and the others, so he snorted and said, "A sour Confucian, what are you proud of?" ”
Han Chao was very respectful of scholars, he snorted and said, "Second brother, don't speak ill of your elders!" ”
……
Wang Dou and several people came to the front of their house, after the repair and renovation of that day, it can be said that it is a new look, looking at the newly posted door god Spring Festival couplets in front of the door, as well as the firecracker crumbs in front of the door, Wang Dou's heart is warm, or there is a good home.
Zhong Zhengxian's face was quite oily, and he said with a smile: "Look at my nephew, I haven't seen him for a few years, and he has grown so tall, I heard that you have also raised the general flag?" In our family, there is finally an official ......"
His eyes looked at the horses beside Wang Dou and the others: "Tsk, look at this horse, it's really strong, I heard that my nephew took it from the Tartars?" Tsk......"
Wang Dou saluted him and said, "Uncle is fine, aunt is well, is she better?" ”
In Wang Dou's memory, his aunt was kind, but her health was not very good.
Zhong Zhengxian shook his head and said, "What's good, it's just that your aunt is useless and can't manage the family business, so that your uncle has to come to your mother at a great age......
He called his son Zhong Tiaoyang again, let him come to meet Wang Dou, Zhong Tiaoyang is thirty years old, his face is dark, his demeanor is relatively silent and steady, he and Wang Dou saluted, Wang Dou said: "I haven't seen my cousin for many years, I heard that my cousin got married a few years ago, and my cousin-in-law gave birth to a big fat son?" ”
Talking about this, Zhong Tiaoyang's rough dark face showed a smile, but he only gave a salute and stood behind his father. However, he kept looking at the Korean and North Korean people.
Zhong said happily: "Look at the few of you, you can't stop talking outside on a cold day, let's go into the house quickly." ”
Zhong Zhengxian said: "Yes, yes, come into the house, I haven't seen my nephew for many years, I have a stomach close to him......"
