On the twenty-third day of the third year of Chongzhen, the small year of folk customs, this year, every family in Huluyan Village can celebrate the New Year in peace and stability, even if the family is in difficulty, they can also borrow some food from the mutual aid association to survive.

In addition, ordinary farmers can also exchange their labor for some meat and pastries at the mutual aid association's trading ground. Therefore, this year's New Year, the adults and children in the village have added a joyful color, and the taste of the New Year is full.

Early in the morning, every household began to clean, prepare sugar, melon, honey dates and other sacrificial stove things, prepare to sacrifice the king of the stove, and ask him to go to heaven to say good things for the villagers, and the wind and rain will be smooth and the grain harvest will be harvested in the coming year.

Feng Jian rarely had breakfast at home, and his mother rolled the noodles in the kitchen early, and then put two poached eggs on the pot. The steaming noodles were brought to Feng Jian and instructed Feng Jian to eat them while they were hot.

Turning around, with a broom in his hand, he walked to the outhouse and began to "sweep the ashes" in the mouths of the villagers. Pingdu local customs, every household has to be cleaned before and after the new year, and the home and outside are cleaned again, and there is a meaning that all the filth accumulated for a year will be driven out of the house!

Mother's handmade picture of the king of the stove is placed in the basket on the table, and when the stove is sacrificed, please go to the north of the stove room, and next to the basket is a plate of sugar melons, sweet cakes and other sacrificial stove supplies.

A ray of winter sunlight shines through the crack in the door, making people feel a long-lost warmth. Feng Jian was holding a big bowl of steaming noodles in his hand, his nose was slightly sour, his mother was always idle, seeing the busy figure of the old man in the outhouse, Feng Jian felt a warm current flowing from the depths of his heart, it seemed that there was a mother, and this home was full of warmth!

Feng Jian sniffed, "sucked" and finished eating the noodles, walked to the outhouse to take the broom in his mother's hand and said, "Mother." You can rest for a while, and your son will do the work at home! ”

Mother Feng looked at her son kindly. Nagging: "This little bit of work at home can be done, and you have to take care of the entire Huluyan." How can my mother delay your affairs! ”

"It's okay, most of the people in Xiaonian Cottage are reuniting with their families today, and my son is at home today to spend the New Year with you."

Mother Feng nodded with satisfaction, and said casually: "Jian'er, yesterday your mother-in-law came to our house, complained that she hadn't seen her daughter for more than a month, and asked Su Su if she could go home for the New Year!" Jian'er, it's not that my mother said you, Su Su is your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door. I heard that you sent to take care of some official lady, although our Zhuang family doesn't pay much attention to the daughter's family showing up, but you can't give your daughter-in-law to others! ”

Feng Jian was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly defended: "Mother, Su Su is my son's daughter-in-law, it's too late to love, how can I call others!" The woman rescued by the son from the Mocone Mountain is the daughter of the Zhizhou family in Pingdu, and the son plans to escort the daughter of the Zhizhou family back after the New Year, and Su'er gets along well with this daughter. She stayed in Mocone Mountain to be the daughter of the Zhizhou family. ”

Mother Feng was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Feng Jian's arm and said, "Ah, how did the daughter of the old man's family in Zhizhou end up in our cottage!" Son, you hurry up and send the daughter of the old man's family in Zhizhou away, so as not to stay in the cottage and bring trouble to everyone. ”

Lord Zhizhou is an unattainable figure in the minds of ordinary villagers. When Feng's mother heard that Feng Jian had left the daughter of the old man's family in Mocone Mountain, she immediately panicked.

Feng Jian saw that his mother was frightened, and hurriedly comforted: "My son has already made a good deal with the daughter of the Zhizhou family. After the New Year, he personally escorted her back to Pingdu City. ”

said that his heart moved, and then said: "Today is the New Year." Why don't my son send someone to take Su Su and the young lady of the Chen family back to Huluyan now, and invite them to our house for the New Year? ”

Feng Mu looked at Feng Jian in some surprise. Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, she feels that her son must have other plans!

However, if you invite the daughter of the Zhizhou family to a poor village to spend the New Year, will it be abrupt!

Mother Feng said: "We are poor families, and the daughter of the Zhizhou family is afraid that she will not come!" ”

Feng Jian said with a smile: "Don't worry, my son will definitely come if I invite me personally." ”

"Oh, what are we going to entertain people!" Feng's mother began to be apprehensive.

Feng Jian said: "We will do whatever we have at home, mother, the daughter of the Zhizhou family is a guest at our house, and she should be the one who is nervous!" ”

Mother Feng hesitated, nodded and said, "Yes, when I am a mother, I will invite Su'er's mother over, and when Su Su comes back, our two families will spend the New Year together." ”

After speaking, he stared at Feng Jian and said, "Jian'er, it is better for you and Su'er to get married as soon as possible, so that outsiders will not be able to gossip." ”

Feng Jian habitually touched his chin and said, "Mother, my son wants to know!" ”

Feng Mu rubbed her eyes with both hands, but her expression looked happy. "Okay, my mother has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and the Feng family will point to you to spread the branches."

Feng Jian suddenly thought that his eldest brother-in-law was working as a partner in a grain store in Pingdu City, and this time he was going to Pingdu City to get in touch, so he asked casually: "Mother, I heard that my eldest brother-in-law is a partner in the grain store, I don't know which grain store?" ”

Feng's mother said: "I don't know if I haven't contacted my mother for a long time, I only know that it is a grain store opened by the Cui family in Pingdu City, what are the plans of the inspector?" ”

"Well, this time my son went to the city, and I plan to look for them and see if I can get in touch."

"Jian'er, it would be great if I could contact your eldest sister's family!" Feng Mu's eyes turned red as she spoke.

Feng Jian hurriedly said: "It's a good thing for my son to go to find the eldest sister's family, see how happy your mother is." ”

Saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house and walked towards Sun Fang's residence, Feng Jian wanted to use the carrier pigeon to inform Su Su in the Mill Cone Mountain first.

Inform her that she is going to pick her up, Chen Lilan and Xiao Hairpin to go back to Huluyan for the New Year, and let her and Chen Lilan Xiao Hairpin prepare in advance.

After the carrier pigeon was released, Feng Jian walked to the training camp of Zhenshan Camp, preparing to find Xu Yannian to transfer a team of soldiers as escorts to go to Mocone Mountain to meet Su Su and Chen Lilan's master and servant.

The soldiers on the training ground of the earthquake camp were still training as usual, because the number of soldiers had tripled, and the training ground suddenly became crowded.

The site of the new Earthquake Mountain Battalion has not yet been built, so the soldiers of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion can only take turns training on the training ground.

Far away, Feng Jian saw that Zhao Shougang's first division on the training ground was divided into several parts for training according to different arms.

The soldiers of Huang Fuchun's Second Division sat neatly on the ground in a corner of the training ground, and the supervisor Zheng Qing led several supervisors to sit opposite the soldiers of the Second Division, as if they were explaining something to the soldiers.

Huang Fuchun, the general manager, sat next to Zheng Qing and listened attentively, and when he heard the soldiers on the other side asking questions, he nodded slightly from time to time or said a few words.

At present, the supervisors of the bureau are under the jurisdiction of the supervisors, and the supervisors of the department are under the jurisdiction of the supervisors of the headquarters, and the supervisors of the department are under the jurisdiction of the supervisors of the thousand headquarters, and the triangular management system is from top to bottom.

The military commander has no right to interfere with the supervisor, and the supervisor cannot dictate to the military commander.

Zheng Qing is now the supervisor of the 1,000th headquarters of the Zhenshan Battalion, Feng Jian reminded him to keep abreast of the soldiers' ideological dynamics and understand their desires, seeing that Zheng Qing is leading his subordinate supervisors to communicate and discuss with the soldiers, which is what Feng Jian said about brainwashing, of course, the main thing is to instill loyalty to Feng Jian

Seeing this situation, Feng Jianjue's rash appearance to interrupt the normal training of soldiers is not good.

After hesitating, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the training ground, and while walking, he considered letting Shen Xiaoshan send the soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Division to follow him to run a trip to Mocone Mountain, but Cheng Yousheng was not by his side to run errands, and it was a little inapplicable for a while.

Cheng Yousheng, Fan Li, Bao Feng and the other three guards were all at home for the New Year, Feng Jian didn't want to alarm the three of them, but he couldn't be busy alone, so he had to gather the three of them to his side.

Let Cheng Yousheng bring his warrant to the Enemy Hunting Division to find Shen Xiaoshan to send someone to follow him to the Mill Cone Mountain to meet Chen Beilan and the three, and let Fan Li Baofeng go to the mutual aid association trading ground to get some meat and vegetables back, and give them to his mother to clean up the Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

After arranging the affairs of the family, Shen Xiaoshan soon rushed over with ten people on horseback.

Riding a horse and controlling the horse to run in a certain direction is relatively easy to master, Shen Xiaoshan and other members of the Enemy Hunting Division have been trained for a period of time, and all members have mastered the basic riding skills, as for the riding skills such as controlling the horse to stop urgently, turning, and wielding the blade to fight on the horse, it takes a long time to train.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Division are still far from fighting on horseback, but there is no problem at this stage to run on horseback!

Feng Jian exchanged a few words with Shen Xiaoshan and told him that he was going to Mocone Mountain to take Su Su, Chen Lilan, and Xiao Hairpin back to Huluyan, and Shen Xiaoshan naturally had no objection.

Feng Jian also practiced riding during this time, he took the reins handed by Shen Xiaoshan, stepped on the stirrup and rode on the war horse, and behind him, Shen Xiaoshan and more than a dozen knights surrounded and urged the war horse to set off in the direction of the village.

Fan Li and Bao Feng had never ridden a horse, watching Feng Jian lead a group of knights to run towards the gate of the village, they were very envious, and secretly wondered when they could also ride a war horse and pass by majestically in front of people.

It wasn't until everyone disappeared that the two turned around with envy to do the things assigned by Feng Jian.

It took about half a day to walk from Huluyan to Mill Cone Mountain, and it only took more than an hour for everyone to walk on horseback.

Arriving at Mocone Mountain at noon, Zhou Donkey led people to open the gate of the village and welcomed Feng Jian and his party into the cottage.

The place where Su Su and the three people live in Mocone Mountain has been guarded by a sentry soldier led by Zhou Donkey, and the news from Feng Jian Pigeon was also received by them, and then passed on to Su Su and the three of them, and they stayed in Mocone Mountain mainly to protect Su Su and the three of them.

Zhou Donkey reported to Feng Jian that Su Su and the three of them were ready, the carriage was Chen Lilan's original car, and the belongings of the three had been packed up and put on the carriage.

Feng Jian patted Zhou Donkey and said: "Donkey, for the New Year today, the defense of Mocone Mountain will be handed over to the cottage guards, and I will take my subordinates to follow this commander back to Huluyan later." ”

Zhou Donkey is not a person of many words, nodded silently to show obedience, stayed in place and watched Feng Jian and his party roar into the village. (To be continued......)
