The old man greeted Yang Ruoqing with a smile: "Girl, thank you for helping us out." ”

When the old man opened his mouth, the accent didn't seem to be from this area.

Yang Ruoqing also replied with a smile: "The old man is polite, Huangtian Layue, it is not easy for everyone to go out." ”

When the old man heard this, he felt that this girl was not very old, but she spoke generously and decently.

"The little girl, surnamed Yan, is from Da Liao, a neighboring country in the north of Qi State, and is a merchant who makes mountain goods and furs."

"Oh!" Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded again.

An old man and a young man walked through the city gate along the convoy slowly entering the city.

Come to the side of the street in the city and stand still again.

The old man said to Yang Ruoqing: "Please forgive the old man for taking the liberty to ask, I just listened to the accent of the girl's voice, could it be a person from Changping Village, Qingshui Town?" ”

Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened: "Yes, I am from Changping Village, do you know our Changping Village?" ”

The old man surnamed Yan smiled, and a trace of remembrance seemed to float on his weather-beaten face.

He stroked his white beard and nodded gently: "In the early years, there was a famine over there, and I was here in exile. ”

"I see." Yang Ruoqing also nodded.

"I haven't been to Changping Village for decades, and my memory is blurred, I'm afraid I can't find my way out, I want to ask the girl how to get there?" The old man asked again.

Yang Ruoqing said: "It just so happens that I am going back to the village today, if the old man is willing, he can go with me." ”

The old man said: "We have just stepped into your county after a long journey, and we plan to rest here for a few days and rectify a little. Visit the county magistrate, and then leave for Changping Village. ”

Yang Ruoqing thought for a while, "Then I'll tell you the general path to the old man......"

In a few words, I gave a rough idea.

The old man nodded, full of gratitude.

wanted to invite Yang Ruoqing and Li Da'er to lunch, but Yang Ruoqing declined.

The old man said: "Then we will part ways with the girl for the time being, and in a few days, you will go to the village and visit again." ”

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Don't dare to visit, the old man came to Changping Village and came to my house as a guest." ”

"Well said, well said."

……

Changping Village.

When Yang Ruoqing's carriage was about to reach the gate of her yard, she heard the sound of artillery in the village from a distance.

It's only the fourteenth day of the lunar month today, and there is still half a month before the New Year, why is there a cannon battle?

Zhuanghu people like to marry on the New Year's Day, and that is also to set off fireworks.

However, the day of the wedding is usually chosen after the twenties.

Why?

The purpose is that the meat and vegetables left over from the wedding banquet for the guests can be collected and kept for the New Year.

It's called killing two birds with one stone, and it's a two-pronged approach.

It's only fourteen today, why are you going to set off a cannon battle?

And from this voice, the artillery battle is far more than just hanging, what is the happy thing?

Yang Ruoqing guessed and drove the carriage into the courtyard.

At home, none of Da'an Xiao'an's children are there.

Yang Huazhong was not there either.

Yang Ruoqing searched all over the front yard and backyard, and finally found Sun in the stove room.

"Ah, Qing'er is back? Haven't eaten yet, have you? Mother gives you a hot meal! ”

Sun was brushing the pot and washing the dishes, obviously not knowing that Yang Ruoqing would be able to get home today, and the family had already had lunch.

Yang Ruoqing stood by the pot and drank tea, watching Sun give her ** egg fried rice.

"Mother, who is doing in the village? Why is there such a loud artillery battle? She asked.

Sun paused for a moment with the spatula, and then said, "Oh, it's the old Mu family!" ”

"Mu Zichuan passed the exam, and he came back from Changhuaizhou today."

"Tagapo's side, the town's chief of security, and the village are all here. I heard that Changhuaizhou, Qing'an County and Wanghai County all came. ”

"Many people in the village have also gone to Daohe, this time the cannon battle, I'm afraid it's the luncheon!" Sun said.

Yang Ruoqing was stunned.

Ten years of cold windows no one asked, and in one fell swoop became famous all over the world.

Mu Zichuan, his hard work in the previous years has begun to bear fruit.

Yang Ruoqing turned her head and looked around, and then asked Sun, "Why didn't you see my father?" Why don't you go to Daoga for a banquet? ”

Sun said: "Daohe's money was brought over by your Uncle Chang Geng, and I didn't go to the banquet." ”

"All the money is out, why don't you go to the banquet?" Yang Ruoqing smiled and asked.

Sun said: "I was called to the old mansion by your father, saying that I had something to sum up, and I haven't come home yet." ”

"Oh." Yang Ruoqing nodded.

I also want to go to the old mansion to see that Lao Yang Tou summoned Yang Huazhong over, to sum up a moth to come out.

It just so happened that the egg fried rice was out of the pot.

"Come, hurry up and eat this egg fried rice, I'm going to be hungry all the way!"

Sun said, taking chopsticks and bowls and placing them on a small table next to him.

Yang Ruoqing sniffed the fragrance, and her stomach growled.

Take another look at Sun's egg fried rice.

The white rice, one by one, the eggs, were scrambled into crumbling egg flakes.

Golden yellow.

The two are intertwined, giving a pleasing sensation to the eye.

Coupled with a little bit of green foam for decoration, the visual impact brings the taste out of control!

She sat down on a small stool, grabbed her chopsticks and took a bite of egg fried rice in her mouth.

Sun knows that she doesn't eat much lard, and the egg fried rice is ground from rapeseed, which is newly harvested at home this year.

In the old-fashioned mill, the rapeseed oil is particularly mellow and long.

The scrambled egg fried rice has an endless aftertaste.

Sun took out two more side dishes from the vegetable cupboard.

One dish is home-pickled spicy radish strips, and the other is sweet dried tofu.

Yang Ruoqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Eat with relish.

I feel that if this person is hungry, he will be energetic to eat anything.

When you are full, you are satisfied with everything.

Sun sat on the sidelines and watched her eat with a smile in her eyes.

"After eating, drink a few sips of hot tea, sit in the stove room for a while and then go out, don't drink the cool breeze." The woman did not forget to advise.

Soon, a bowl of rice bottomed out.

Yang Ruoqing burped, touched her stomach, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun took her empty bowl and chopsticks and went to the pot to scrub them.

Yang Ruoqing stood by the pot with a tea bowl and watched, and after a while, Yang Huazhong came back.

"Daddy!"

Yang Ruoqing called out to him.

The man walked with his head buried in his head, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's voice, she raised her head suddenly.

"Yo, the girl's house is here?"

The man's face showed surprise, and he strode to the side of the pot and raised his hand to touch Yang Ruoqing's head.

"Have you eaten?" He asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "My mother just made egg fried rice for me to eat." ”

"Well, it's good to eat it." The man nodded.

At this time, Sun asked him on the side: "Did our father call you for something urgent in the past?" ”

Yang Ruoqing's inquiring gaze also fell on Yang Huazhong along with the Sun family.
