There were two or three thousand of them in these hundred houses.

The proportion of soldiers is actually not high.

Zhang Yong is not a soldier.

In winter, he has nothing to do when he is not drinking, or walking the streets and alleys to meet drinking friends. There was news from above that the Mengyuan people went south, and Baihu ordered the whole army to assemble and not do his business.

The eldest of his family is married and has grandchildren. Zhang Yong is in charge and lets the boss live separately. At present, he only has his wife Li and the second child in the family.

In the evening, the second child went out to meet friends. Only Zhang Yong and Li were left at home to eat together.

Because it was still early, the lights were not lit. The living conditions of his family are much better than those of the Wu family before. In addition to pickles and dried radish, there is also a plate of fried pork slices.

Zhang Yong was drinking turbid wine and eating fried pork slices, which was very comfortable.

Li Shi was not so comfortable, and his stomach was full of discomfort. She put down the dishes and chopsticks and told Zhang Yong what she had heard. At the end, he said: "This incompetent waste, I went to the mountains and was not taken away by the jackal, but hunted back a sika deer." ”

"God doesn't have long eyes."

The husband and wife planned to let Li's elder brother Xiaoqi Li Ding play tricks and engage Wu Nian. Knowing that Wu Nian went to the mountain to hunt, I wish Wu Nian died on the mountain.

As a result, Wu Nian actually came back, and he was still buying, buying, buying. Although the conditions of their family are the top people in the hundred households, the Li family has never eaten lotus seeds a few times in their lives, and they are very jealous.

Of course, the main thing is a few acres of land in Wu Nian's house.

"Don't panic. Yesterday, the military order came down, but Wu Nian went into the mountains to hunt. It's a good excuse. The eldest brother can make him not die and shed his skin. ”

Zhang Yong laughed yin, put down the wine bowl heavily, and said.

"Really?" Li is a woman, and she doesn't know much about it, but she is suspicious.

"Can I still lie to you?" Zhang Yong glared at his wife, and then sneered: "And this is just the beginning. Before Wu Nian obediently handed over the fields, he had all of them. ”

"Hmm." Only then did Li believe it, and a smile appeared on his face. The couple looked at each other and felt very happy and satisfied.

.............

Wu Nian returned home with a bamboo basket on his back. He went into the house to take a look at Liu Xiang, and when he saw that she was sleeping, he calmed down, and then washed rice and put a handful of lotus seeds to boil porridge.

Set up another pot and start grilling the venison.

Although there are no good materials at home, there are ginger and garlic, soy sauce, and the venison that is burned out is definitely more fragrant than in the wild.

After the venison is cooked, the lotus seed porridge is already thick. Wu Nian picked up a plate, a bowl of lotus seed porridge, half a bowl of venison, and carried it to Liu Xiang's bedroom.

This is considering that Liu Xiang has just recovered from a serious illness, and it is not advisable to eat too much venison.

Liu Xiang was woken up, and she stared blankly at the venison and lotus seed porridge on the stool next to the bed, as if she were in a dream.

She reached out and pinched her bony face, waking up in pain.

looked at Wu Nian's face again. Wu Nian showed a smile and said softly, "Eat." It doesn't matter if you're sick, as long as you eat and recuperate, you will be better in a few days. ”

It's really changed.

It's really changed.

When Wu Nian came back, Liu Xiang felt that he should still observe. And now Liu Xiang has been directly impacted.

Liu Xiang felt that there was something to flow out of her eyes, and something to flow out of her nose. She took a deep breath and held back her tears.

Her vigilance is still working.

Liu Xiang looked at Wu Nian's face and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything. For many years, she has also been sneering at Wu Nian, she has not said anything good, and she will not say it now.

"Why do you buy lotus seeds? One pound of lotus seeds can buy more than 20 pounds of rice. Liu Xiang thought of a topic and complained.

At this statement, her own heart ached.

She hadn't eaten lotus seeds once since she was a child, she had only heard of and seen this thing. Others say that it is immortal food, and if you eat it, you can live forever.

Therefore, it is a thief and expensive, and I am afraid that even hundreds of households do not eat it often.

What kind of home is our family? If you can eat rice bran rice, you are already satisfied. Eating lotus seeds, isn't it a long life?

Liu Xiang hurts, and her heart hurts badly. As a result, the whole person's expression became hideous, and sweat flowed out.

Wu Nian didn't think much about it, just thought that Liu Xiang might be a recurrence of an old injury. A little panicked, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" ”

He reached out to hug Liu Xiang, but his hands stopped halfway.

Because Liu Xiang already had a stress reaction, she couldn't stop her fear when she saw Wu Nian's hands, hiding in the corner of the bed like a rabbit, shivering.

Even the distress of eating lotus seeds has been covered.

Wu Nian looked at his palm, feeling distressed and a little embarrassed. Then after taking a deep breath, he said softly, "You eat slowly, and the bones will spit on the plate." When you're done eating, my brother will clean it up for you. ”

"Don't think about anything else. For example, lotus seeds. Brother has strength, and he can also hunt. In the future, even if you eat lotus seeds every day, you can eat them. ”

Liu Xiang was still trembling, she wanted to respond to Wu Nian in her heart, but her body was out of control. I could barely poke my head out and whispered, "Hmm." ”

Wu Nian felt very relieved.

At least from the mouth of this little girl, there is no more cynicism. I'm making progress.

Ha ha.

Wu Nian didn't say anything more, turned around and retreated, closing the door.

After Wu Nian left, Liu Xiang's trembling gradually stopped. She sat up weakly, put on a torn cotton jacket, and then picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.

Although Wu Nian was very considerate to go to the lotus seed heart for the lotus seed, the lotus seed actually tasted ordinary.

Without sugar, it's not sweet.

Liu Xiang held the lotus seed porridge and ate it carefully, but felt that this was the best bowl of porridge in her life.

When her father and mother were alive, the peanuts she bought for her were delicious.

What she eats now is not a taste, but hope for the future.

The hope of living, the hope of a prosperous family.

Liu Xiang ate the thief incense, stretched out his tongue and licked the bowl clean. The venison was eaten piece by piece, and all the bones that could be broken were eaten, and not a drop of soup was left.

She tried to get up and clean up after herself, but a wave of drowsiness hit her. She wiped the corners of her eyes, then took off her torn jacket, tucked herself into the futon, and fell into a deep sleep.

Of course, Wu Nian did not treat himself badly, two large bowls of lotus seed porridge, plus a large bowl of venison, and ate it cleanly.

He's been eating meat these days and he's out and about. I feel a significant increase in physical strength. The body is bony and tough.

After eating, Wu Nian planned to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. But he heard a knock at the door.

"Wu Nian. Wu Nian. I'm Iron Bull. ”

The door was slammed, and the people who came shouted loudly and vigorously.

Wu Nian narrowed his eyes and remembered the matter of Zhang Yong's family.

This iron bull, I'm afraid it's not good.
