Chapter 317: The Birdman on Horseback
After lunch and a few more gossips, Li Laosi and Li Yong carried a big wicker basket on their backs and set foot on the road to the barracks.
Two palm-wide cloth bags were added to the wicker basket, so that they could not be carried on the shoulders.
The basket is lined with several layers of cotton cloth, which is breathable and insulating, so that the buns will not become wet because they are piled together.
It was the two of them who ran on horseback, and the heat emitted behind them was like white wings, which was very joyful.
Everyone was originally standing at the entrance of the village to send each other off, and they were a little reluctant and sad, but when they saw this, they couldn't help laughing.
"Why do you look like two birdmen on horseback?"
"Haha, I want to say this too!"
"I hope that when I get to the camp, the buns are not yet cold."
"I'm not afraid to be cold, it's much warmer this season."
After a few words, everyone dispersed and went to work.
Li Lao Er didn't want to delay the children's classes tomorrow, so he found his wife and planned to go to the city immediately.
Mrs. Li didn't stop her, Zhang Luo said, "You go to Mr. Wen first, and bring Mr. Wen and Wen Hai some pig-killing vegetables and meat buns, the two of them are afraid that they don't cook often on weekdays, so they always deal with eating." ”
Soon, the pork was tied with hemp rope, and the food was also loaded, and Mrs. Cui asked Qiong's sister-in-law to send two cloth bags, one large and one small.
The old lady smiled and helped divide it, and then carefully instructed her son.
The carriage at home was set, and Jia Anjia was happy to go into the city to play together, Li Lao Er simply hugged the cat brother, and for a while there was a child left in the family.
It's not that Li Lao Er doesn't love his niece, it's just that his niece is too young, and he is not easy to take care of as a big man.
Fortunately, Jiayin remembered to accompany her mother, and obediently accepted the promise of the second uncle to buy snacks, so she waved her little hand and sent them away.
Tao Hongying had red circles in her eyes, she was really reluctant to give up her husband, but there was a lot of work at home, and her daughter was following her, so she had no time to be sad.
Besides, Li Lao Er took his nephews into the city, and actually ran into the Liu family's carriage at the city gate.
Liu Zhiheng had just returned from Xianhe Town, and when he heard that Li Lao Er was going to find Mr. Wen, he handed over the basket brought by Li Lao Er to Chang Sui.
"Tell Madame, I'll go see Mr. Wen too, and I'll go home in the evening."
After that, he changed to the Li family's carriage and left together.
Leaving Chang Sui with a wry smile, the eldest lady hasn't come back for half a month, and the eldest lady doesn't know how to look forward to it at home, so she can't enter the house!
The plan of the year lies in spring, and now at this time, whether it is the common people or the court, the most important thing is the spring sowing that is about to begin.
Even the most diligent Yushi kept his mouth shut at this time, not daring to speak at will, for fear that something would happen and disturb such an important moment.
Therefore, after going to the court in the morning, there were almost no people in the Yushitai in the afternoon, from Shangguan to Xiaoguan, collectively fishing.
Mr. Wen was also reading and writing at home at this time, and the books were sent by Luo'an College.
Jiaren, this kid is careful, even if he copied a copy of the Guo family's collection and left it in the academy, he didn't stop the pen in his hand, continued to transcribe while reading, and then sent this extra copy to the small courtyard.
Mr. Wen understood that this was a concern for his disciples, for fear that if he was idle, he would be sad because he was kicked out of his family.
He simply wrote his feelings in the book every day, and after writing one, he asked Wen Hai to give it to Jiaren again.
Although the teacher and student have not seen each other for a long time, they are closely connected in this way.
Suddenly seeing Li Lao Er and Liu Zhiheng with their three children coming to the door, Mr. Wen was really surprised and happy.
"Why are you all available? Isn't the family busy? ”
Li Zhiheng waved his hand, "I met Mr. Second at the city gate, so I came over together." ”
Li Lao Er also smiled, "The family killed a pig today, and my mother is worried about letting me send you a piece of pork to eat fresh." ”
Wen Hai took the things over, and saw that the pig-killing vegetables and buns were still hot, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Second is so good that he came, what are my husbands and I still worried about?" My cooking skills are so poor, I have practiced for so long, and boiling porridge without mush is the best level. ”
Everyone laughed and hurried to help set the table.
Liu Zhiheng didn't eat either, so he simply followed suit.
Li Lao Er drank tea and talked with Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen.
Wen Hai took two buns and was about to take a few children to play in the alley.
Li Lao Er picked up his purse and handed it to him, "Brother Hai, these boys want to buy sheepskin balls, if you know where to sell them, take them for a walk." There is another thing, it would be nice if you could drop by and ask me a few words. ”
Wen Hai took the purse and said with a smile, "Mr. Two, just give orders." ”
Li Lao Er simply told him about today's valley, Wen Hai took the order, and soon took the three boys out.
Liu Zhiheng nibbled on the bun and said, "People in your valley are constantly coming and going, whose business is this, and you are giving you eye medicine behind your back." ”
Mr. Wen nodded, "I'm afraid it's inseparable from those restaurants in the city." ”
Liu Zhiheng shook his head, "I think it has more to do with these flower-viewing villas outside the city, you must know that they also attract guests with scenery, their business was originally very good, but after having Broken Gold Beach, it was greatly discounted." This year, seeing that the orchards of Broken Gold Beach are about to bloom again, these literati and writers in the city have talked about it, which has made those families anxious, right? ”
"That's it, we'll know when Wen Hai comes back. Let's eat, this pig-killing dish is really fragrant, and the traditional craftsmanship of your northern land is authentic. I've eaten it twice in a restaurant in the city, and it tastes weird. ”
"Yes, why do you think about killing pigs at home again, but it's not a New Year's holiday?" Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen asked about the village while eating.
Li Lao Er said, "This fat pig is not honest, he jumped over the wall and fell half to death, so he can only be killed." It happened that the fourth child and Li Yong came back from the barracks, let them have a good meal, and carried more than 200 buns and left. ”
"The fourth child and Li Yong are back? They rarely have a mouthful, how about the docks, is the training hard? ”
Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng are half of the villagers, so they also know something about Yan Gongzi becoming a soldier under a pseudonym, and then said, "I heard that the Yan family is making a lot of trouble, looking for people everywhere, Li Yong is also bold, and it will be troublesome if he is discovered." ”
Li Lao Er said with a smile, "The fourth child came back before dawn in the morning, and left after lunch. I didn't meet any outsiders, so I wasn't afraid of being discovered. The fourth child and Li Yong are much stronger, especially Li Yong, I am afraid that my mother will not recognize him in front of him. ”
"Oh, I see, the army really trains people. Hou Ye also has a set of soldiers with troops. is also a soldier guarding the riverside, in the hands of the Hou Ye is like a tiger, fighting evenly with the barbarians, in the hands of the Dingbei Hou is defeated and retreating. Liu Zhiheng couldn't help but complain, he looked down on Dingbeihou very much.
Mr. Wen also nodded, "Master Hou takes the lead in every battle and kills the enemy bravely." The Marquis of Dingbei hid behind the generals, for fear of being injured by the barbarians and causing low morale, how could he win the battle. ”
A few people laughed, finished eating, put away the dishes and chopsticks, changed the tea, and waited for Wen Hai to come back.
Wen Hai didn't delay, and he led the children back less than an hour after going out.
