Chapter 176: The Huns
"Ah~ah~~~"
The little milk baby didn't stop almost all night, humming and chirping all the time.
When you are tired of crying, you go to sleep, and when you wake up or are hungry, you wake up and cry.
Zhou's first time with a baby was exhausted.
It may also be that I haven't experienced this feeling for too long, after all, Niuniu was very obedient at the beginning.
Zhou didn't sleep well, and Su Qiang, who was in a room, was naturally no better.
Early in the morning, he got up with a haggard face.
"Mother, why did you get up so early?"
"I'll help Yuxian watch the child and let her sleep. I guess I heard it was a mess last night! ”
"Thank you, mother!"
Su Yuqing smirked and touched the back of her head.
"What is there to thank you for!"
"Later, remember to go to your Uncle Lin's house to borrow an ox cart to make a messenger, if you don't catch the market today, he shouldn't go to the town. The food is heavy, and it can be tiring to carry it back. Don't be reluctant to give up two silver coins, you know? ”
"When you go to town, be careful, be more mindful, inquire about things clearly, and don't be too blind."
Grandma Su told carefully.
"We know, mother, you should be careful at home."
"Daddy! You have to be careful! ”
Niuniu probed her brain at the door of the room, and lay on the kang for a long time, but she still couldn't help but come out and ask for a word.
It's not that Niu Niu doesn't want to go to town to find out for herself, but the real scourge at home is not.
If you are at home, you can better cope with it if something happens.
"Niuniu, why didn't you wake up last night, let's go to sleep more! Daddy knows! ”
The two of them took the money given by Grandma Su to buy food and went out in the morning light.
"Grandma, I'll go with you to see my brother in my father's house."
"Okay, let's be careful! Don't wake him up before he eats and sleeps! ”
"Hmm!"
The grandfather and grandson tiptoed to the door of the room, and the crying sounded again.
It's just that I've been crying all night, and my voice is very hoarse.
Grandma Su and Niuniu glanced at each other awkwardly, making sure it wasn't each other's fault.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhou holding the child in his arms and patting it gently.
"Second daughter-in-law, let me come! I'll take you to my room, you'll sleep! This kid guesses that he was frightened by something, and he made a lot of noise! ”
Grandma Su stretched out her hand to take the child,
"Don't worry, don't you still have Niu Niu to watch it for me? No matter how bad it is, there is your sister-in-law, you can sleep peacefully. ”
After hearing this, Zhou handed over the child to Grandma Su with peace of mind.
The old man is old, and it is not good to be troubled like this.
Zhou thought about squinting for a while, and then got up to help.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep.
Niuniu took off her shoes and climbed up to help put the quilt on her belly button.
Even if it's hot, it's still easy to catch a cold when you fall asleep like this...
"Milk, I'll hold it!"
Watching her grandmother hold the doll and sway gently for a while, she estimated that she was tired, and Niuniu spoke.
"Can Niu Niu be able to hold it? Grandma is hugging, Niuniu is looking at it on the side, okay? ”
"I'm sitting and hugging! I'm sure I'll be able to hold it! ”
Niuniu sat steadily on the kang, crossed her legs, and posed with her hands, signaling that Grandma Su could put the child up.
At least the posture is quite professional.
"Don't move that girl, you know?"
Niu Niu nodded obediently.
Grandma Su carefully put the child in Niuniu's arms, and she stood aside at any time ready to take over or help.
But it's also strange, as soon as the child arrives in Niuniu's arms, he settles down.
He smacked his mouth twice and fell asleep.
"Grandma, are you going to put him down? He's asleep! ”
"I just fell asleep, the child is shallow, and I guess I will wake up when I put it down. Can't you hold it? Grandma is coming! ”
Grandma Su put her big hand on Niuniu's little arm, and slowly exerted her strength, so that Niuniu had room to pull her hand out.
"Hmm~Hmph~~"
The little doll seemed to sense something, and her mouth deflated.
"Milk, I'll hold it for a while! When he was asleep, he put him under the covers. ”
It's small, and it's picky!
Niuniu sat quietly on the kang, her elbows propped up on her thighs to borrow strength, holding the baby motionless.
"I didn't expect my Niuniu to hold a doll and have a set!"
"This kid too, Niuniu won't cry or make trouble when she holds it, what's the matter, it's a thorn on our body?"
......
Niu Niu was proud and painful to accompany her all day...
"We're back!"
Towards evening, Su Qiang and Uncle Su also drove the ox cart back slowly.
Seeing that the two of them were intact, there was some anxiety on their faces. The hearts of others have settled down a lot.
"Why did you come back at this time? Your dad is almost going to the town to look for you! ”
Grandma Su was half blaming and half distressed.
"We walked around town for a while, and when we came out, we checked it several times!"
"Why do you have to check it out? When has the town been so tightly regulated! ”
Su Qiang and Uncle Su divided five by two and moved the grain down from the ox cart.
"Big brother, you tell your mother about the situation, I'll take Uncle Lin's cattle to the creek to wash them first, and cut some grass and send them over together."
Su Qiang climbed into the ox cart again and drove in the direction of the creek.
"Boss, tell us what's going on? What happened to Chef Yang? ”
"Let's sit down and talk slowly, I can't tell you for a while!"
Xiaofan finally slept steadily, and the Su family went to the hall to listen to the news, and Niuniu also brought a small bench and sat straight and straight.
Xiao Fan is the nickname taken by Niu Niu, and the picture is shouted smoothly.
Meaning! It's just a little trouble!
Simple and crude.
"Actually, it's not Chef Yang who has an accident, it's Master Zhou!"
Niuniu suddenly sat more straight.
Did you guess right? Got big gossip?
"What's wrong with Master Zhou?"
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry! Listen to me slowly! ”
The eldest aunt nodded like pounding garlic, and gestured to her mouth, indicating that she would be quiet.
"Isn't this year a drought? It's not too serious here, and I heard that the most serious is the Huns. Land is already scarce, and this year there is no harvest. ”
"This would have been! Every year at the time of the autumn harvest, they would go to war in order to get some food. It's not a big deal! ”
"But, I didn't expect it!"
The uncle slapped his thigh heavily, startled, and scared everyone else half to death.
"If you want to say it, just say it, look at your problem!"
Grandpa Su went up directly.
"Due to the drought this year, they couldn't harvest food."
"But just a few days ago, someone set fire to the grain and grass of the people of the Western Regions, and the grain and grass were piled together. The weather is dry, and the grain and grass are easy to eat, and they are all gone! I heard that half the sky is red! ”
"You deserve it, who let these people from the Western Regions bully the little people every day!"
Grandma Su seemed to be very angry and scolded lightly.
"Mother, don't think about things so simply!"
"They're out of food? Where will you look for it, it's not like you're here to rob our Daqi! There is no way out, those Huns are like crazy, and they don't want their lives when they start a war! ”
"What does this have to do with Master Zhou?"
The eldest aunt couldn't hold back.
"General Ye Lao was wounded and unconscious. General Ye's whereabouts are also unknown! The Zhou family started on Master Zhou, and it happened that his wife was about to give birth, so she relaxed her vigilance, and let the people succeed! ”
"What a brute!"
Uncle turned from worry to anger...
"My own family is going to do it to my own family, boss, you are not wrong!"
"That's why I'm angry! Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly! ”
