Chapter 26: Lan'er and Yu'er

Bai Zhong was really flattered by their enthusiasm, but seeing them so welcome, his heart was still a little warm.

In the village, and even in Changxingli, the neighborhood atmosphere is good and very harmonious.

Fortunately, he is completely different from before, squeezed forward for a while, and left the crowd smoothly, now he is very unfamiliar with them, and he will have the opportunity to slowly become familiar with them in the future.

The most important thing now is to go home and see.

After leaving the crowd, he hurried in the direction of home.

They cooperated very well and did not chase after each other, but Bai Zhong came back and soon became one of their talking points again.

According to the memory of the original owner, Bai Zhong came to an ordinary courtyard, and the house looked like a relatively poor family in Changxingli, because the wall was broken, the gate was broken, and the house looked very old.

This is a new home that spans more than two thousand years, Bai Zhong thought for a while, and was about to push open the door, but he didn't expect someone to open the door from the inside.

A girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in coarse linen clothes and combed into two buns, appeared in front of Bai Zhong's eyes.

She is Bai Zhong's sister Bai Lan, she just heard the shouts of people outside, the eldest brother is back, and she was about to greet her, but she didn't expect to see someone in front of her as soon as she opened the door.

In this era, only nobles had surnames, and here for convenience, both nobles and commoners had surnames.

"Big brother!"

Bai Lan snorted softly and threw herself into Bai Zhong's arms.

"Lan'er!"

Bai Zhong thought for a while and substituted himself for his identity.

Originally, the impression of my sister was very vague, but at this time, it became clear, and I patted her head gently.

Bai Lan raised her head and said distressedly: "Big brother, you have lost weight and are also dark." ”

"I've been fighting, and naturally I've lost weight and darkened."

Bai Zhong smiled slightly, he just looked thin, and his strengthened body didn't know how strong he was.

In later generations, he had no sister, an only child, and was reborn more than 2,000 years ago, and he still felt very good with a little sister.

"Big brother must be hungry, I'll go make you something to eat."

Bai Lan let go of her hand, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, their brother and sister relationship was very good.

Bai Zhong followed her and walked into the house.

There were only two rooms in the room, and the furnishings were very simple, except for a low table and a few shabby cushions.

The four walls of the house describe such an environment.

Bai Zhong put down his things, went to the kitchen to take a look, and saw his sister take out a piece of dried meat and soak it softly, cut a lot of meat slices, and then washed a handful of millet, ready to make a kind of food called millet and millet slices, that is, a meat soup stewed with millet and meat slices.

"Big brother, why did you get in? Thank you for your hard work, go back and sit and wait for me. ”

Bai Lan put down her busy work and wanted to push Bai Zhong out.

Of course, she couldn't push Bai Zhong, walked in and lit a fire on the stove, and said with a smile: "Let's do it together, you are home alone, in fact, it is also hard." ”

"I'm not hard."

Bai Lan's nose was sour: "Big brother went to fight just so that I could live a good life." ”

Bai Zhong remembered that when he left Baijia Village, he had told his sister that he must come back with meritorious service and change the current state of poverty, and now he has finally done it.

"After I have made military achievements, I should have a little reward, even if I don't, I should have a fortune, it seems to be two hundred stones, Tian Siqing, how can my family be so poor?"

"Big brother, wait for me for a while."

Bai Lan said as she walked outside.

After a while, she came in with a clay pot and put it down with a slight gasp.

When I opened it, I saw that it was full of coins.

"These are the eldest brother's bounty, and there are five hundred yuan, I am going to help the eldest brother save it, I can't spend it indiscriminately, I also bought these jerky in advance, and I will eat it when the eldest brother comes back."

Bai Lan raised her pretty face, as if she wanted to compliment.

Bai Zhong looked at her dotingly, thinking that this sister was so good, she felt very warm, and said softly: "Lan'er is so good." ”

"Big brother is the best."

Bai Lan took the clay pot back, hid it again, and began to cook it again, and the smoke rose quickly.

When everything was ready, Huang Zhen was brought to the low table, and she first served a bowl to Bai Zhong, and then put all the slices of meat in Bai Zhong's bowl.

"Give me all the slices of meat, Lan'er doesn't have to eat it?"

Bai Zhong asked curiously.

"The meat slices are not delicious, so I don't want to eat them, so I give them to my eldest brother."

Bai Lan gave herself a bowl of millet and no slices of meat.

Ordinary people can only eat a meal of meat for a long time, this girl wants to eat it, but she doesn't want a piece of it for her distressed brother.

The meat of this era is really not delicious, there are no condiments, it is simply washed and stewed, but Bai Zhong didn't care, and insisted on sharing half with Lan'er.

Bai Lan had no choice but to take it and ask, "Is the eldest brother still hungry?" ”

"My stomach is bursting."

Bai Zhong patted his stomach and said.

Bai Lan was satisfied, and said, "If Yu'er knows that the eldest brother is back, she will definitely be very happy." ”

"Yu'er!"

When Bai Zhong heard this name, a figure quickly appeared in his mind.

It was a woman who was a little older than Bai Lan, and Bai Zhong had known each other a long time ago, in other words, it was a childhood sweetheart.

If memory serves, Bai Zhong seems to have said that when he comes back, he will definitely marry the woman named Yu'er and go home.

"Big brother won't forget Yu'er, right?"

Bai Lan smiled: "In the future, she will become my sister-in-law." ”

Sister-in-law Qiu means sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

"Yu'er is not from our Changxingli, I will go to see her tomorrow, don't think nonsense."

Bai Zhong tapped her forehead lightly.

Bai Lan asked again: "The eldest brother can be knighted, is he a general in the future?" ”

Bai Zhong said: "It's just a hundred generals, but it's not far from the generals." ”

"Big brother is amazing!"

Bai Lan took Bai Zhong's hand and cheered.

Seeing her like this, Bai Zhong smiled heartily and rubbed her little head.

——

The next morning.

Bai Zhong woke up early, this is a habit that he has developed in the army, and after making the morning food, his sister also woke up.

Morning food is breakfast.

After eating simply, Bai Lan said that the rewarded field had been divided, and she would take her brother to the field to have a look.

When he came to Tian Ridge, Bai Zhong looked at Bai Lan's guidance and was immediately surprised.

"These are my fields?"

Four acres of land is so big.

He stood on the ridge and looked at it, and he couldn't even see the end.

However, in ancient times, the production of grain was not high, and generally speaking, only by expanding the planting area could more grain be harvested.

"Of course it is, the fields are allocated, but the field slaves are not yet."

Bai Lan said: "I am alone at home, I can't farm so much, and I want to rent out some of it in the future." ”

Tian slaves, that is, slaves engaged in farming, were distributed to those with titles according to the needs of the pavilion and li after they were knighted.

In addition, if the land is allocated, it cannot be wasted, because when the state sees that it is wasted, it will take it back, and in addition to cultivating it with field slaves, it can also be rented to other people.

In the Qin state, there were countless people who did not have fields, or whose fields were confiscated.

This kind of person has no other ability, and if he wants to live, he can only rent other people's fields and then use grain as rent.

Bai Zhong said with satisfaction: "Unexpectedly, I also became a landlord." ”

Being a landlord in ancient times seemed quite cool.

"Big brother, I'll take you to Yu'er!"

There was nothing to see in the field, and Bai Lan took his hand and walked towards the other one.
