Ye Lian thought of the man in black who didn't keep her promise, and gritted her teeth with hatred, and even her facial features were a little distorted. This scene fell in the eyes of the surrounding people, but it became ironclad evidence that she was reluctant to go on the expedition.

Someone sighed and said: "Princess Zhongyong is really a good woman, the prince will not die, she has just returned and will go on an expedition in a few days, and the princess is afraid that she will be very bitter in her heart." ”

"That's it," someone next to him echoed, "If God opens her eyes, let her keep a prince's blood in her stomach, in case the prince has a good ......."

"Phew! Bah! Crow's beak! The people who heard this all spat in unison, complaining about the person who spoke, "Why don't you say something auspicious?" The prince is brave and invincible, and he will naturally return victorious. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm stupid, I obviously want to say that the prince came back just in time to see the birth of the little son, isn't it double happiness?"

The man slapped his cheek and laughed, and this was the end of the anger.

In short, no matter what everyone thinks, the army is marching to the frontier.

In the pagoda village, there are also more than a dozen descendants who want to follow the army on the expedition. After all, it is going to the battlefield, and I don't know whether I am going to live or die, and the parents and relatives and friends are all a little forced to laugh.

Jinghai has a law, each village must produce a certain number of people's husbands, if there are descendants to sign up for the army, the top two people's husbands, when the parents naturally don't want their sons to go out to fight, but the descendants are yearning for meritorious service, that day I heard the recruitment of soldiers in the city, there are more than ten companions to run to register.

The village immediately became a mess, and a bad-tempered old lady even took off the soles of her shoes and put them on her son's back, crying and scolding.

But the law is ruthless, and the name has been reported, and no one can change it arbitrarily, so the whole village of old and young has made great efforts to prepare things for the future generations, and a few uncles who can strike iron light the stove to make daggers, so that they can hide in their boots and defend themselves at critical moments.

The women flew needles and threads, sewed clothes and shoes, and longed for a pair of insoles to take thousands of stitches, and it would not break for two or three years.

The Hu family has been living in Pagoda Village for a while, and the Hu Po cake shop has also opened at the fork in the road, and every piece of wood, every table and chair in the shop is helped by the villagers, and the family is naturally grateful.

Now seeing this situation, no matter what you say, you must do your part.

Hu Po took her two children to take care of the shop business, Ye Lan pulled Hu Bo to ponder new cakes, although the baked cakes, twist flowers and the like are delicious, but the weather is warm, it is not easy to store, and the dry cakes are easy to store but too unpalatable, without a mouthful of hot water to help go down, can choke people to death, the army marches to fight, it is rare to even have a rest, this hot water can not be too extravagant.

Ye Lan thought about it and planned to make shortbread, but she had only heard of it before, and she had never done it, so it was a little difficult to make it now.

Fortunately, Hu Bo is experienced, the two of them combined the baked cake and the dry cake, tried it for two days, and finally succeeded, the golden shortbread is the size of a palm, and there is a thin layer of salty and fragrant filling in it, and it will be crispy and slag off when you bite it, not to mention how fragrant.

Several of the younger students who were called to taste it were all smiling happily, and they were unceremoniously shouting that they wanted to carry a bag of cakes on their backs and then go on the road.

Everyone laughed, but Ye Lan waved her hand generously, "Okay, you can carry as much as you can, it's enough!" ”

"Haha, thank you, sister-in-law! It's still the best sister-in-law. The younger students laughed and laughed.

Ye Lan was extremely helpless, how many times had she said it, she had nothing to do with Shanzi, she just thought he was a reliable big brother, but I don't know where the people in the village heard something, or saw that Shanzi loved the two children very much, and everyone thought that she and Shanzi were a family, and the women just joked a few words from time to time, and now even these descendants have been taken badly.

She is not ready to waste any more saliva, and if she gets along for a long time, everyone will always see it clearly.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lan thought of the person who made her not know how to treat her, when she was busy in the shop during the day, she always felt that person seemed to have been guarding the basket and selling biscuits, occasionally turning around and smiling at her, which made those women secretly blush, and the eyes that stared at her became more and more jealous.

Now that the army has gone on the expedition, he has become a generalissimo, and I wonder if anyone will help him pack his bags and prepare clothes, shoes and socks......

Ye Lan shook her head suddenly, forcing herself not to think about it anymore. He, a dignified prince, how could he lack these things? I'm afraid that as long as the slightest rumor is released, countless women will post it upside down. If she has this mind, she might as well think about how to feed her children, how to be filial to her uncles and aunts, or how to help these simple descendants prepare more things to save their lives.

Shanzi came from the road with a basket of herbs on his back, and his eyes only glanced at the shop before he easily found Ye Lan who was in a daze.

There was a gloom in his eyes, but his face still didn't change.

A descendant found him and shouted, "Brother Shan, are you back?" ”

Shanzi nodded and responded: "I went up the mountain to find some herbs, which will be made into knife wound medicine in the past few days, and you will all divide some and bring them with you when you go out, and it will be very useful when you go out." ”

Of course, the younger generations all know what is good and bad, no one can guarantee that they will not be injured on the battlefield, rather than counting on those busy military doctors, it is better to prepare more life-saving medicines.

So, several people saluted Shanzi solemnly, thanking him for being so thoughtful.

Ye Lan came back to her senses, and when she heard Shanzi say this, she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the company went hiking, and each person was given a first-aid kit, which was very useful, so it was better to learn from it and prepare a copy for the future generations.

When Shanzi was busy boiling medicinal ointment, she went to the town, bought two boils of soft white cotton cloth, and ten jars of the strongest baogu wine, and one medicine package of various colors.

Back at the shop, she immediately began to concoct alcohol, and went to the village to find a familiar woman to help sew large and small bags.

Shanzi saw that she was so busy, curious to inquire, and finally his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he sent the gold sore medicine he had boiled.

The day before the soldiers gathered, more than a dozen tables were set up on the largest threshing floor in the village, and the women of each family did their best to make the best food they could and brought it up, such as large bowls of chicken stewed with mushrooms, spicy rabbit meat, and braised fish...... There's everything, and I want to collapse the table.

Uncle Wu and several elders sat in the first seat, the descendants of the expedition sat in the second seat, and the men of the remaining families sat down in turn, and the women and children gathered on the side.

There was no sound in the huge barn except for the occasional breeze.

In the end, Uncle Wu raised the wine bowl, and on behalf of the whole village, he instructed the descendants to return triumphantly, even if they were disabled, they were not allowed to end their lives without authorization, and the village would have their food and accommodation at any time.

No one blamed Uncle Wu for being unlucky, but nodded in unison, some of the descendants have red eyes, how many years have been born and raised in the homeland, and there is always a lot of reluctance to part, not to mention that the people in the village are still so kind.

Several elders sent prepared small things to each descendant, and Hu Bo also carried bags of dry food and sent them one by one, and the descendants thanked them one after another.

In the end, it was Shanzi's turn to be a junior, but the people in the village were extremely curious when they looked at the dozen or so strange bags he took out.

The woman who had some friendships on weekdays shouted: "Brother Shan, what good things have you prepared, open everyone's eyes first." ”

There was the one who helped sew the bag, and he also smiled and agreed, "That's it, Tuan Tuan and his mother came to call me for help, this bag is sewn, and I don't know what it contains." ”

Shanzi smiled innocently, turned his head to look at Ye Lan, and responded: "Most of the things are prepared by you, or you say it." After saying that, he walked back and sat down, leaving Ye Lan blushing from everyone's eyes.

Fortunately, she is not twisted, and besides, she will take her children to live in the village in the future.

Thinking like this, she generously walked over and took a bag in the hand of the descendant, opened the iron buckle on it, and said with a smile: "This is a carry-on package that I figured out when I was idle, which can be wrapped around my waist without delaying my action." There were several compartments in this waist bag, there were strips of white cotton cloth scalded and dried in hot water, gold sore medicine, pills for minor ailments such as wind chill and diarrhea, needles and threads, and finally a small gourd spirit.

"A few brothers went to the battlefield, and if they had a minor illness of wind and cold, they took pills and took them, which was much stronger than hard resistance. If you are accidentally injured, wash the wound with water, and then wipe the wound with cotton dipped in the wine in the gourd, remember to wipe it no matter how painful it is, and then smear it with gold sore medicine, wrap it with cotton cloth strips, so that the wound is not easy to rot and pus, and it will heal quickly.

"The most important thing is that the brothers can't be greedy! A jar of the strongest bud grain wine was refined until the end to get a gourd, which is a good thing to save lives. ”

A few later generations are also good wine, weekdays do not steal Dad's wine to drink, originally heard that the gourd is wine and want to be full, heard the last curious pull the cork, immediately a strong smell of wine rushed out.

Some descendants were surprised, "This wine is so strong!" ”

Uncle Wu also saw it freshly, stepped forward to look at the bag in turn, and tried to walk a few steps around his waist, and finally looked at each other and shouted to the juniors to salute Ye Lan.

The descendants may not know too much, but the elders in the village have all been on the battlefield, so they naturally know the weight of this small waist bag best.

Ye Lan was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand, "I can't afford to be a fellow elder, it's just a little thing." ”

Uncle Wu shook his head, and then said with a straight face: "In the future, it will be a family." ”

Ye Lan was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly understood, and smiled even brighter, "Uncle Xie, Father Xie, fellow villagers." ”

Since the Hu family came to the village, it is said that many villagers have treated them very well, but Ye Lan also knows that most of them are looking at Shanzi's face, and they are somewhat regarded as guests.

Now, thanks to this little first aid kit, they have finally become a member of the pagoda village, which can be regarded as a firm foothold.

However, when she really encountered something, she knew that it was still simple to think about it at this time, and the meaning of the family that Uncle Wu said was much deeper than this, of course, this is all a later story.

The descendants finally embarked on the journey, and the young and old in the village stood on the side of the road waiting for the army to pass, and then took one last look at their own babies.

The old couple of the Hu family went to the shop, Ye Lan found an excuse to stay at home to watch the children, and occasionally swept her eyes to the bag hidden at the end of the kang, and couldn't help sighing.

The reunion may feel the complexity in the mother's heart, stretch out the little feet and hand them to the mother's mouth, babbling and inviting the mother to taste.

Ye Lan couldn't help but smile, took a bite on her son's daughter's feet, and said softly: "Your father is a big one, he didn't drown last time, and he will be okay this time." It's best which "chivalrous" hero hurts his life, let him marry more women and can't have children, and when you grow up to be your own son, your mother will take her grandson to starve him to death! ”

The two children didn't know if they understood their mother's words, and pursed their lips disdainfully. My own mother is really different, obviously worried about my father, why do you still curse him?

Shanzi under the window outside the house looked down at the pot of orchids in his hand, and a wry smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He just entered the high gate at night and found the most beautiful orchid in the world, maybe it was useless, how could he drive that person away from her heart, could he be wrong once, and there was really no chance? If he knew that the ending would be like this, the sky would have fallen in the first place, and he would not have left......

Cuihua pinched the corners of her clothes and walked around outside the door of Hu's house, muttering and persuading herself.

"Oh, what's there to be afraid of, she's not a tiger, my mother said it, in the future, it's a family, and we can't be awkward anymore, so she also prepared a waist bag for Tiedan......"

"Oh, no, no, no, I'll go in and say thank you, she doesn't know how to laugh at me, she dominates Brother Shan, so I don't want to pay attention to her......"

She was arguing with herself like this, when she suddenly saw Shanzi open the courtyard door and walk out, the little girl immediately blushed with joy, smiled and greeted her and asked, "Brother Shan, why are you at home?" ”

Shanzi glanced at her stunned, handed over the orchid casually, and said lightly, "Help me throw it away." ”

Then, without saying a word, he walked away.

Cuihua stood for a long time holding a pot of orchids, but finally stomped her foot, pushed the door and ran in.

"Tuan Tuan, you come out for me!"

Ye Lan was changing the diapers of the two children, and when she heard someone shouting outside the door, she quickly pushed the two children into the kang, and then greeted her, but when she saw that it was Cuihua, a frequent visitor, she couldn't cry or laugh.

"What's the matter, Cuihua, where did I provoke you again?"

"You ......" Cuihua blushed, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "You are not a good woman, you are the mother of two children, you are not worthy of Brother Shan, you ......"

Ye Lan sighed, feeling a headache for this straightforward and scheming girl, so she responded as countless times before: "I know, I am not worthy of Shanzi, and I don't want to be worthy of him." You like him, just pursue it, don't always come to me to argue, okay? ”

If it was before, Cuihua would definitely blush, raise her chin, reward her with a "count you as acquaintances", and then end the battle.

But this time, she uncharacteristically shed tears, the crystal tears were like a summer rain, and Ye Lan panicked, and hurriedly coaxed: "What's wrong with you, what are you crying about?" Let people see it and think I'm bullying you, but in fact, you came to scold me, okay? ”

"You're bullying me!" Cuihua simply sat on the ground and cried and accused her, "I like Brother Shan, but he likes you, and you don't like him, what should I do?" Woo, my mother found me a husband, I don't want to marry, I like Brother Shan. ”

Although she said it upside down, Ye Lan understood it, and she loved this girl who was so persistent that she was beyond the etiquette of this era.
