Tang Wei curled up and sat in the main room, and his mother Tang Dong had just finished roaring in the middle of the room.

"I won't marry the second daughter of the butcher." Tang Wei said carefully in a soft voice like a cat's meow, "Her strength can kill a wild boar with one punch, I can't beat her, and if I marry her, I will be bullied." ”

"Nonsense!" Tang Dongshi interrupted angrily, "How can a woman dare to fight her husband, besides, can you be angry, you can't beat a woman as a man?" It's a shame that you're still a soldier, how is Dengzhou Town taught, you don't even dare to fight a woman, and you dare to kill a fart Tartar. ”

"That killing Tartar is different, it's a musket......" Tang Wei whispered his defense.

Tang Dong was so angry that he smoked, and when he looked back, he saw that Old Tang was sitting on the threshold.

Old Tang Tou clicked and smoked, with his inhalation action, the sparks in the smoke pot flickered and dimmed, and the old Tang Tou was not idle with his other hand, holding a multigrain cake from time to time to bite a bite, this cake was a little dry, and there were constantly scraps falling and falling on the thick cotton pants. There were a few feeding hens next to him, and Old Tang patted down the crumbs, and several hens went up and clucked to fight.

Tang Dong's heart was originally very unhappy, and when he heard the rooster crow, he was even more nameless, and rushed over in two steps, kicking the nearest hen away, the chicken feathers flew at the door, and several egg-laying hens clucked and fled in all directions.

Old Tang stood still, as if nothing had happened, lowered his head and blew away the chicken feathers on the only small piece of bread, coughed and put it in his mouth.

Tang Dong walked in front of the old Tang head and said to the old Tang head on the threshold, "You are in charge." You take care of your business. ”

The wrinkled old Tang looked up at Tang Dong for a moment, without any expression at all. Then he turned his face slightly to the side, lowered his head and continued to smoke.

"Pump. Pump, you take a few cents of silver every month, and you don't use it when you do business, this family would have collapsed if it didn't rely on me. After Tang Dong scolded the old one, he turned back to the small one.

"The second daughter of the Zhang butcher family can't make it, what do you say about the thirteen forts?"

Tang Wei buried his face low, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "The woman from Thirteen Castles came from Shanxi, and I can't understand what she says." ”

Tang Dong was so angry that he gasped again and again. "Are you looking for some excuses, are you looking for that female actor?"

"An actor, an actor."

"I don't care what the staff is, in short, you can't find a play, our family is from ten miles and eight towns, who married the play, our family is no worse than anyone else, dog, don't be angry with your mother...... How do you spend this day! Tang Dong screamed. He sat on the ground and cried.

Tang Wei hurriedly turned over, ran over and helped Tang Dong to sit on the chair, and Old Tang Tou watched from the threshold.

"Mother, don't be angry, I want to think about which one to marry. I'm going to listen to you this time, but I'm a little afraid of that butcher's house, so I'll think about it again. ”

Tang Dong looked at Tang Wei with tears in his eyes. It took a long time before he said, "Anyway, you have to marry one." Your mother, waiting to bring your grandson's hair is waiting for white. ”

"I must marry. Marry by all means. Tang Wei nodded again and again...... Three days later......

"Mother, father, this, I'll go back to the barracks first, and I'll find my daughter-in-law by myself......"

Mr. Mura read the letter left by Tang Wei, Tang Dong suddenly hid his face and cried, "Oh my God, this is for my old Tang family, the dowry has been given, and the words have been spoken, what can I say when his second aunt comes......"

Old Tang Tou sat on a stool next to him and smoked a cigarette, and Old Tang Tou said briefly: "It's okay to go back." ”

"Okay, what a fart."

Tang Dongshi cried for a while, turned his head and saw the old Tang's head, he was angry, stretched out the back of his hand to wipe the tears and snot crisscrossing his face, and then pounced on the old Tang head and pushed and shook it, "You old thing, tell you to smoke, smoke, it's all your habit." ”

Old Tang couldn't help her beat, and after Tang Dong's beating for a while, he was so tired that he sat on the ground and cried.

"God, you're not a good person......" Tang Dong's angry accusation echoed in the sky above Erdaogou Village......

At this time, on the official road from Aoshanwei to Jiaozhou, a four-wheeled passenger carriage pulled on the tarpaulin and drove away, this kind of carriage has no shock absorption, but compared to those two-wheeled and unicycle cars in other places, the riding conditions have been calculated, and some passengers put their backpacks under the burden of the future generations to act as a simple shock absorption.

In the original history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not have a four-wheeled carriage until the 19th century, which was imported from the West for the Cixi witch to play, but because the coachman sat high in front with his butt facing the back, the Manchu ministers thought it was disrespectful to the empress dowager, so it was not used in the end. But at this time Dengzhou has been widely used, these carriages can pull goods and customers, the market is still expanding, the purchase of four-wheeled vehicles in various places is very good, forcing those who use two-wheeled vehicles to eliminate backward production capacity.

At this time, the heavy snow outside the carriage has turned the earth white, the whip waved by the coachman on the front seat, and the four horses sprayed white mist, pulling the carriage to crush the snow, swaying on the official road in the direction of Jiaozhou Mansion, leaving two long black marks on the snow-white carpet.

Tang Wei sat at the last of the passenger carriage, and the flying snowflakes drifted in from time to time under the blown curtain and landed on Tang Wei's lap, Tang Wei patted his pants, he planned to finish the remaining days in Jiaozhou, and then return to the military station.

He reached out and touched the inner pocket, the heavy feeling of five silver coins made him feel very steady, this is before he went home to go to the money village to exchange huàn, not for convenience, but this kind of silver coin with a face value of five coins is very exquisite, Tang Wei received the ticket after hearing that the new silver coins are being issued, the quantity is limited, so he rushed to exchange huàn, and actually successfully exchanged his hands.

At that time, he was the last to change, I heard that there are very few people who can get it, he is lucky, although the value of the ticket is the same, but everyone is willing to try this kind of silver coin, Tang Wei gave his father and mother five, and kept five for himself, thinking about buying something for Guan Xiaomei to send over.

"Do you want to try the North Korean girls that Jiang Lao Wu said in Jiaozhou?" Tang Wei also learned some dross in the melting pot of the army, and the North Korean women in Jiaozhou only came from North Korea in the past two years, and they wore different clothes from China. The appearance is not very good-looking, and the price is cheaper than the local hook bar. However, even if there is some exoticism, it can also attract some curiosity hunters.

Guan Xiaomei's face suddenly appeared in front of her. He hurriedly patted his mouth, "Lao Tzu doesn't go to that kind of place, there are still a few days, or Lao Tzu will go to Qingzhou to see Guan Xiaomei, or I don't know if I will come." What if Guan Xiaomei also goes home, Lao Tzu will run for nothing. ”

While he was thinking about it, there was also a bell on the opposite side, which should be a passenger carriage from the direction of Jiaozhou, waiting for the two cars to stagger by. Tang Wei, who hadn't seen pedestrians for a long time, opened the curtain and planned to see the excitement, but he found that Peng Yunfei, a fellow villager of Ao Shanwei, was sitting at the back of the carriage, who was also pulling open the curtain and looking.

Tang Wei hurriedly shouted to stop the carriage and ran to the carriage, "Peng Lao Pao, why are you back, aren't you the next batch to be fake?" Tang Wei asked curiously.

When Peng Yunfei saw Tang Wei, he quickly stopped the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, came to Tang Wei and said, "You just left a few days ago. The Department of Military Affairs issued a general order that those who have only children in the family and have no heirs should withdraw from the front-line combat soldiers, and those who have more than two children under the age of 10 should also withdraw, all of which are aimed at ordinary soldiers. Non-commissioned officers and officers are not included. The dismissal period is one year, and if there is a vacancy for the instructor in the original Tunpu, he will be arranged to return to the Tunpu. If there is no position in Tunpu, he will be arranged to be a reserve instructor in Tunpu, which is closest to his hometown, and those who are unwilling to be arranged will be discharged. ”。 Peng Yunfei said in one breath with a white breath.

"An only son without an heir? Lao Tzu is an only son and has no heirs. Why quit? ”

"The secretary of the military affairs department said that the only son died in battle, and his parents had no one to support. If there are no heirs, there is no descendant. Master Chen understands the hardships of the tunhu, so he set this rule. Lao Tzu is married, but there are no heirs, the company commander gave me a month off, saying that if I can stay next year, it depends on how well I do this month's work. I don't want to go to the tunpu, I have to go home quickly, and when we get back to the barracks, we will have two more drinks. ”

Peng Yunfei was in a hurry, and without waiting for Tang Wei to answer, he turned around and climbed into the carriage, and the passenger carriage squeaked forward again.

Tang Wei stood in place for a while, stomped his feet suddenly, and howled miserably, "Your mother, what the hell is this military affairs department, Lao Tzu was just a combat soldier, Peng Lao Cannon, etc., I also want to go back." ”……

"God, when can you bless and bless the old Tang family, the dowry gifts can be given, I can't live this day," Tang Dong was still crying in the house, crying attracted many good deeds, these enthusiastic people fully carried forward the spirit of the Chinese people who love to see the lively, regardless of the severe cold, against the heavy snow, without wanting to reciprocate, circled their hands and shrunk their necks around the Tang family's door, looking at the movement inside with interest, several aunts with the spirit of gossip have begun to spread the gossip, and everyone listened while expressing sighs or sympathetic opinions.

Tang Dong's fell on the third aunt's body, snot flowing, the third aunt kept taking a handkerchief for her to rub, because she rubbed too much, the handkerchief was already shining with a layer of sparkles, and the third aunt kept talking in her mouth to comfort Tang Dong's, the old Tang was still smoking and looking at the ground, with a layer of snowflakes piled on his shoulders.

The third aunt wiped her tears and said, "No one could guess that it wasn't, the dog actually ran away." But girl...... You can't scold God, you always have a bad mouth and disrespect to God, your attitude makes God hear, maybe you let the dog go. ”

Tang Dongshi cried a few times, and said godlessly: "I have broken my heart for the old Tang family for the rest of my life, so I will have such a son, when will I be able to hold my grandson, God, open your eyes, I will definitely give you more incense......"

After Tang Dong's crying and scolding was invalid, he listened to the words of the third aunt and changed to a bribe to God.

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a person hit the wall outside the door, with an unstoppable momentum to bring up a snowflake flying, enthusiastic people did not have time to protest, he had already rushed into the yard with a ball of snowflakes, while shouting "Mother, quickly take me to Zhang Tuhu's house, to the Thirteen Fort, I want to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

Tang Dong stood up from the arms of the third aunt as soon as he breathed, looked at Tang Wei blankly, his lips trembled and he said, "God really opened his eyes!" God, I won't scold you anymore, burn incense for you on the first day of next month! ”

"I'm going to marry my daughter-in-law tomorrow, and I'm !! tomorrow"

"Burn six sticks of incense!"

"I marry two daughters-in-law at once!"

"Two more waxes!"

"I must give birth to a son this year!!"

"God is a good man!" Tang Dong shouted, and fainted in the arms of the third aunt. (To be continued......)
