Chapter 120

Therefore, after a long time, the big guys really admired him in their hearts. [No pop-ups. At the very least, no one ever doubted how he got his position as centurion.

Probably this is one force to ten meetings, as long as you are strong enough, where will you be afraid of others provoking?

With his own fists, he quickly made a name for himself in the barracks. and then called the six sons brothers and brothers, and mingled, of course, he was still the eldest brother. Having said that, Rao is that he looks fierce and vicious, and he is not easy to get close to, but when he really gets along, he is also upright and happy, so although the big guy was afraid of him at first, he became sincere to him after a long time.

said that it was sincere, but in fact, it was better to say that a group of rough men got together and were neither big nor small, and even the things that were transferred to him from above could be coaxed and robbed.

Of course, Lin Baozhu didn't know about those things. She was mashing the steamed yam and red dates into a pestle. Seeing that it was almost, it was only with the white flour that had been made and went together, and then it was smooth and had no concave and convex feeling, and then it was twisted into small pieces of flowers and steamed on the grate.

These foods can be stored, so it's okay to make more. Anyway, the weather is cool now, and it won't break for a few days.

After finishing her busy work to give Zhang Man the food and braised pork, she looked at the sky outside that was beginning to light up. Then he wiped the handle and pulled the latch of the gate open. It is estimated that Shi Dayong and Zhang Xiuniang should also come over, and they have already been scheduled to come to the compound for dinner on the day of going to the county seat.

In order to save some work, she simply got up for breakfast by herself. There is no shortage of eggs at home now, and the duck eggs were taken away by her own man last time, so after thinking about it, she directly fried a few egg cartons. The whole egg is fried in boiling oil, and with a crackling sound, it quickly takes shape before the egg can be dispersed, and after a while, it becomes yellow and clear.

After frying the eggs, she covered a few more pieces of hair cake, then fried and stewed the green beans, and finally boiled a small pot of yam egg beans and cabbage rice. Speaking of vegetable rice, she also learned from her sisters-in-law in the village after coming here, which is to mix artichoke cubes and bean strips with various vegetables and cook them with millet porridge, and finally put some salt in them to make salty rice.

At first, she was not used to eating it, but after a long time, she thought it tasted good. Not only is it convenient, but there are also more samples to eat, which is very suitable for farmers to eat for breakfast when they get together.

When the food here was almost ready, and the sky outside was bright, Shi Dayong pulled the mule cart and took Zhang Xiuniang and Zhao Di to get up. When she arrived, Zhang Xiuniang saw that Lin Baozhu had already prepared the meal, so she was naturally a little embarrassed, so she rolled up her sleeves and helped cut some shredded pickles. And Zhao Di was not idle, setting the table and putting a bench, so she was not busy.

Shi Dayong saw that there seemed to be nothing he could help with, so he told Zhang Xiuniang that he would go and feed the mules first. This time I went to the county seat, and it was not easy to delay on the road, so I had to feed the livestock before leaving home, and I also saved myself from picking a child halfway.

"Baozhu, look at what else you are doing." Zhang Xiuniang cut the shredded pickles, took out the dry food and vegetables, and when she came back, she saw that Lin Baozhu was still busy on the stove, and couldn't help asking.

Although they are not a family, they have been together for a long time, and they both know that they are not people who care about each other. When they were together, they were also close, so even if they came to the compound to eat, Zhang Xiuniang was less cautious and childish when she didn't break off her relatives before.

How to say it, she used to be virtuous, but she was also afraid of things everywhere, and she always felt that she was not good enough. But after getting along with Lin Baozhu for a long time, watching the way she got along with Brother Zhang Manchu made her have some epiphany.

Now although she also takes care of the house, she will also instruct her man to do some things, and she will not say that she is worried that he will be tired and carry all the things by herself. Sometimes she has something on her mind, and she will tell Shi Dayong, no matter whether she complains or is angry, she will not always be angry in her heart. Not to mention, such days are really comfortable, and it also makes the relationship between the two better.

So, don't look at Lin Baozhu and call her sister-in-law, but in fact, she has learned a lot from Lin Baozhu.

"No need, we'll eat when the eldest brother comes back. I'll make some herbal tea, put it in a water bladder for a while, and let's drink it. Lin Baozhu lit the stove, boiled the tea leaves, and then turned his head and said to Zhang Xiuniang.

Now she has been using eagle tea to make herbal tea, in fact, it would be better if there was a big-leaf tea in southern Yunnan. It's just that now she doesn't have that condition, and she doesn't think about it. In the future, if you have the opportunity to go to the south, you will definitely pick some raw and keep them for your own use.

A few people had eaten, then loaded the things into the car, and off we went.

Because their goods were afraid of getting wet in the rain and the sun shining for a long time, they all had canopies on the boards of the mule carts. At this time, Lin Baozhu and Zhang Xiuniang brought Zhao Di in, but they were not eye-catching, and they would not provoke the gossip of outsiders.

Zhang Ji often goes to the town and the county seat to deliver goods, and many people in the four miles and eight townships know about this. So when I saw Zhang Ji's mule cart from afar, the big guys could say a few words, and Zhang Ji's business was really booming.

As for those who rob, they won't rob some tea and food, after all, they don't have the leisure to drink tea when they are bandits. Besides, Zhang Ji's family is now in the barracks, which one dares to do it easily? If you do get into trouble, it won't be worth the loss.

The walk along the way was also fast, and just after noon, a few people arrived outside the county.

Thinking that they had been on the road for most of the day, and they were afraid that they would have to walk at night when they rushed back that day, Lin Baozhu simply asked Shi Dayong to find an inn to rest temporarily. Then I asked the guy to send some food, and asked the guy who delivered the meal about the location of the barracks, and then smiled and told Zhang Xiuniang that he planned to play in the county for a day and then go back.

Shi Dayong and his family knew that Lin Baozhu was thinking of going to see Zhang Manchu, and they didn't know when they would be able to come back if they delayed, and they were going to invite Mr., so they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to finish the matter before evening. So he answered, saying that he would send Lin Baozhu to the barracks after dinner, and then he took Zhao Di to visit the ready-to-wear shop in the county seat.

Although the Shi family has lived in the county for many years, because Zhao Di is a girl, and she is not liked by the Shi family's parents, let alone her, even Zhang Xiuniang has not been shopping on the street. Sometimes when I come out to buy vegetables, I come in a hurry and hurry back, for fear that I will make my in-laws angry if I go back late, and I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to toss.

Even if they occasionally have time to go out, the mother and daughter will not dare to go to the stall or store to see the objects easily because of the shyness of the bag. I'm afraid that I won't be able to afford it and make people laugh. But now, they have more or less surplus items in their pockets, and with Lin Baozhu's mention, they will naturally not be the same as before.

Counting it, it was the first time that Shi Dayong went out shopping with the rest of his money in a dignified manner, and every time he saw the novel expressions on the faces of his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, he felt bad in his heart. However, thinking of the warm and comfortable life now, he made up his mind that he must work hard and support his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Not to mention how the three of them happily bought things here, let's just say that Lin Baozhu, who was sent to the barracks and was welcomed into the barracks by his own man, was poking his man's dark cheeks and complaining dissatisfied.

After many days of training in the wind and rain, Zhang Manchu's facial features became deeper and tougher. If it was terrifying to say that his cold face and solemn expression were terrifying before, now he has a sense of abstinence that makes people's hearts ripple.

It's just that the man who seems to be there is an old god, as soon as he arrives in a place where there is no one, he looks at the group of stinky boys who have just been drilled and are resting behind him, and the expressionless face in front of the person instantly showed a smile, and even stared at his daughter-in-law with shiny eyes.

As the saying goes, after two or three years as a soldier, the sow races the sable. Although he hasn't seen his daughter-in-law for three or two years, he can't help but think about it in his heart day and night. In addition, the sixth son often sighed beside him, saying that he wanted his sister-in-law's craftsmanship and the like, which made his heart itch more and more.

Now that his daughter-in-law is here, it's close at hand, doesn't it make him excited?

Zhang Manchu is not a person regardless of the occasion, but now that no one is watching, he can always get closer. Thinking so, he leaned over, took his petite daughter-in-law into his arms, and said in a dumb voice: "Daughter-in-law, I am still thinking about when to take leave and go back." ”

Lin Baozhu rolled his eyes, his face was red, obviously ashamed. However, she also misses her own man very much, so although she is worried about being seen, she is not willing to refuse him in the end.

The two of them got together and talked privately for a while, and when she said that she was alone at home and couldn't sleep well every day, Zhang Manchu leaned over apologetically and kissed the corner of her mouth.

"Aunt Ma's apricot is getting married, and she is marrying a boy from the Lu family in Dashi Village, and everyone says it's a good marriage." Lin Baozhu opened the burden and let him see the stockings he made, and said, "It's the sixth day of the new year to go out, I think Aunt Ma treats us well, no matter what Xing'er says, I will call you uncle, call me aunt, and I will have to add makeup to her when the time comes." ”

"Well, it's time for Tim." Zhang Manchu did not have any dissatisfaction with his daughter-in-law's words, and when he saw her say it, he naturally responded again and again. Just looking at his daughter-in-law's smiling face, his heart was also soft, and he couldn't help but pull the person into his arms again, and then kiss her sideburns. "I'm not at home in the future, and there are many places to help at home, so don't be stingy when acting on weekdays."

Speaking of this, Zhang Manchu's eyes, which were bright and happy just now, slowly deepened and deepened. Two days ago, General Mu Xiao specially called him out, saying that he wanted him to pull up the team he had at hand as soon as possible and be ready to go to the battlefield at any time. Later, when I heard that the second child came through the mouth, the north was uneasy, and the war between Beiqiang and the Great Zhou border was about to break out, and now King Rui has sent a lot of spies out.
