Chapter 69: Dimples

When the old man Xu and his wife heard that there were distinguished guests in the second room, they asked the Gu family to help and Xu Ershi to buy wine.

Xu Yuan and Xu Man also came over to play with Sister Fang.

Gu's quickly caught chickens and killed chickens, Xu Lanyin was busy in the kitchen, she wanted to make a rare dish-honey venison, and the venison was said to be bought by Xu Lanzhou in the county seat yesterday.

In order to save firewood, the kitchen was moved to the hall at the beginning of winter. There are two small stoves on the east and west walls of the hall house, which are covered with wooden boards in spring, summer and autumn, and boil water here to cook when the weather is cold, and can burn the kang in the house, and the hall house is also warm.

Xu Lanting had already moved to the Qin family's house to live. Xu Lanzhou would also live in the Qin family house when he was a child, but now that he is older, he is not afraid of pity, the bedding is thicker, and it is enough to stuff a soup woman in the quilt at night.

Today there are many guests and many dishes, so they are made in the kitchen.

I also made steamed button pork, hot chicken, braised pork, sauerkraut vermicelli stew, sweet and sour fish, shredded radish, boiled cabbage, stewed dried vegetables, and chicken soup.

Honey-roasted venison is loved by everyone, especially a few children, who only eat this dish. Afraid that they would not be restrained, several adults shared the rest and ate it, and Sister Fang also shed tears.

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "Next time Sister Fang comes, Aunt Fang will make a more delicious honey roast rib." ”

Sister Fang stopped crying.

Wishing hurriedly said, "I made that good dish, because aunt don't forget to call me." ”

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "My family has delicious food, when did it leave you?" ”

Wishing scratched his head and smirked, "Oh, yes." ”

After the meal, Old Man Xu and the others left with the children. Hong Zhen drank a little too much, Liu Yong and Xu Lanzhou helped him to go to the East Chamber to rest, and Hu and Sister Fang went to Xu Lanyin's house to rest.

Xu Lanyin returned to the house after washing the dishes, and saw Hu Shi sewing her unfinished clothes, and Sister Fang fell asleep lying on the kang.

Xu Lanyin and Hu sat on the kang and gossiped, and Xu Lanyin deliberately led the topic to the Hu girl.

Hu sighed, "Yi'er is my cousin, the third daughter of my second uncle, well-behaved and simple, and good-looking. Since the beginning of this spring, I have been saying that my chest hurts and I feel palpitated. The original family affairs have also been put down......"

talked about Hu Yi's illness.

Xu Lanyin said, "So many doctors haven't diagnosed her with heart disease, and Bacheng is not this disease." Maybe she has something on her mind, but it's hard to say it clearly. Let her family enlighten her more, and find out what happened to her, maybe it's better than looking for a doctor everywhere......"

Hu Shi believed Xu Lanyin's words very much, nodded and said, "I'll remind the second aunt when I go back." ”

Shen Shi Hongzhen woke up and left with his family.

Xu Lanzhou is more confident in taking the martial arts examination. He endured the surging mood all the time, and waited for the guests to leave before he said proudly, "I have learned to ride a horse, Brother Hong said that I have talent, and also said that he will take me to the army to see the captain of the training ground in the future......"

Xu Lanting held the field, "Then the eldest brother will definitely be able to be admitted to the martial arts." ”

Xu Lanzhou nodded, walked around the courtyard with his shoulders on his shoulders, and went back to the house to study the "Art of War" given to him by Hong Zhen.

Qin's eye circles were a little red. If the husband had taken the martial arts at the beginning, no, even if he entered the barracks as a soldier, it would be better than doing that kind of errand, at least he would not be in danger of losing his life at any time, and he would not even dare to say anything if he died...... Of course, he wouldn't have met himself if he hadn't done that kind of errand. But she would rather her husband not meet her, and hope that he can live happily and comfortably.

The next day, Xu Lanyin entered the mountain.

Zhao Wu stood outside the woods and waited. Looking from afar, the first thing I saw was the two large scabs on the boy's face.

It's ugly!

Xu Lanyin laughed.

Zhao Wu said very hurtly, "I thought my sister would come yesterday, and she would get up and burn the kang before dawn." ”

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "I was going to come, but Brother Hong's family came, so I had to cook at home to entertain guests." ”

When the two entered the house, Xu Lanyin took out a plate of honey-roasted venison that she had specially made yesterday, asked him to reduce the heat, poured some oil into the pot, and put the venison into the pot to fry slowly.

The fragrance made Zhao Wu sniff, and as soon as it was fried, he ate it directly with chopsticks. After eating, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, before he smiled, "Sister is really capable, and the dishes she cooks are better than the dishes in the Quanjufang in the capital." "Eyes sparkle and imagine the future, "When I go out, I can eat my sister's dishes every day." ”

Xu Lanyin asked, "Go out, what are your plans?" "If you want to join the army, I can ask Brother Hong." You have kung fu, you are clever, and you have his help, it is not difficult to be an official. ”

This is the best way out for Xu Lanyin to help Zhao Wu. It was impossible for the child to farm, and he did not seem interested in business. I didn't dare to study hard before, and I really didn't have much ink in my stomach. Even if there was ink, the fake identity did not dare to let him go to the scientific expedition.

Zhao Wu said, "Before the accident, what I wanted most was to be able to enter the barracks, be a general, be a marshal, and sit in a high position...... But right now, it's not the best idea for me to go to the barracks. In the barracks, if it weren't for the extraordinary period of the war, it would be difficult for a pawn with no connections and background to be promoted. The elder brother Hong that my sister said is just a sixth-grade official, if there is no great opportunity, he will be able to rise to the fourth grade in the future. I followed him, and at most I could only mix five grades. The most important thing is that he lives in the barracks every day, he can't help himself, he doesn't have the time and opportunity to do what he wants, and it's difficult to even practice martial arts secretly. ”

Xu Lanyin asked, "Then what should I do, farm and do business?" When you go out, you always have to have an identity on the surface. ”

Zhao Wu shook his head and said, "Of course, these two things are even worse. Let's take a look at it, if there is really no better choice, you can only go to the army and plan slowly. ”

The next morning, Xu Lanyin left in Zhao Wu's reluctance.

On the nineteenth day of the winter month, Xu Lanyin went to the mountains again.

There had just been a snowfall, and although it was not heavy, the snow in the mountains was thicker.

As soon as she entered the valley, a dove flew towards her.

Mazi swooped down and stood on Xu Lanyin's shoulder, Xu Lanyin patted it with a smile, and Hanako stood up happily and barked wildly.

Before she reached the edge of the woods, she saw Zhao Wu standing in the snow and smiling at her. The boy in the sun, wearing a deerskin shoulder, his face was as white as jade, and he smiled brightly, like a jade-like boy who walked out of the painting, more dazzling than the shining snow under his feet.

What a handsome boy!

"The scab on your face is off?" Xu Lanyin said excitedly and quickened her pace.

Zhao Wuye walked up to him and said with a smile, "Sister, do you think I'm more handsome than before?" ”

Walking up to her, he deliberately pursed his lips, making the dimples on his cheeks bigger and more obvious.

Xu Lanyin exclaimed incredulously, "God, those two scabs actually turned into dimples. Fortunately, the location is here, if it is in the chin or something, it is really disfigured, and there is no way to save it. ”

For example, Yusheng muscle cream can repair the skin and regenerate the muscles under the skin, but if the wound is deep, the flesh inside cannot grow, and a small pit is formed. And the small pit is right on the face, which is called a dimple.
