Chapter 35: Veterans Don't Die
Wang Zhong came to the tavern with his colleagues today and drank heartily, he was so happy today. After working for so many years, finally, he has become a serious official, you must know that Baihu is a military attache of the sixth grade, compared to this general flag that is not in the stream, but I don't know how many times stronger.
In the tavern, everyone raised their wine glasses and toasted at Wang Zhong, and people with good deeds quipped: "Lao Wang, you drank so much wine today, you won't be scolded by your old wife when you go home, right?" ”
Everyone knows that this Wang Zhong is a strict wife, and when he usually drinks, he has to dissipate the wine outside before he dares to go home.
Wang Zhong was not annoyed when he saw someone joking, and said with a smile: "She dares, Lao Tzu is now a serious hundred households, an official of the sixth grade, I let her in the past, but I am not afraid of her." After speaking, he bragged to everyone about how powerful he was and how afraid his wife was of himself.
Everyone knew him well, causing everyone to laugh, and the air was full of joy.
After a while of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Wang Zhong's promotion banquet was over.
Wang Zhong thought that he was now a hundred households, and he could finally feed his family, and now there was still a lot of food, which could be sold for wine, and his heart was full of longing for the future.
Wang Zhong's home is in Dengzhou City, north of the city, which is a gathering place for civilians, a street is crowded with people, although the people are very poor, but everyone is warm-hearted, so Wang Zhong has a good relationship with them.
Everyone looked at Wang Zhong getting drunk, humming a little song, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Wang, what's the matter, so happy, drinking so much, aren't you afraid that Aunt Wang will scold you?" ”
After hearing this, Wang Zhong waved his hand and responded with a smile: "Now she doesn't dare to exert power on me, now I am a serious hundred, and I don't need her age to help others in the future." In the end, the corners of Wang Zhong's eyes were a little moist.
His wife, who has followed him since he was 20 years old, has been almost 30 years now, and he has not let her enjoy a few days of happiness, now that he can finally enjoy the happiness, thinking of this, Wang Zhong's mood turned from sadness to joy.
Wang Zhong walked into the house quickly, and saw an old woman with gray hair cooking, who was Wang Zhong's wife, Zhao Yue. Of course, when it comes to rice, it's actually just wild vegetables and corn.
The woman saw that Wang Zhong was full of wine, and said angrily: "You old thing, you went out to drink behind my back again, right, what is the situation now, you still have spare money to drink, you let your grandson drink the northwest wind." With that, he was ready to go.
Wang Zhong hurriedly said: "Old woman, I am happy today and drank a little. ”
The woman scolded angrily, "What else is there to be happy about in this year? ”
Wang Zhong didn't speak, took out the official card of the hundred households from his arms, and handed it to his wife.
After Zhao Yue took it, she was so excited that she dropped the official card to the ground, looked at Wang Zhong in disbelief, and then turned her head away and wiped her tears.
Seeing this, Wang Zhong hugged her and said, "You should also enjoy blessings in the future, I have suffered you in this life." ”
The 100 households of the Ming Dynasty were six products, and the moon was ten stones, but ten stones were surface numbers, not including the loss of folding, and the actual hand was less than ten stones. Although there is a loss, it is still a large amount, and he follows Zhang Yun to the sea and subsidizes two stones of grain every month, which is real.
Zhao Yue pushed it away, then wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "I'll let you go today" Then, he went to take out the wine he had secretly hidden and warmed it up for Wang Zhong.
At night, at the dinner table, Wang Zhong sat on the main seat, and below was Wang Zhong's grandson, daughter-in-law, and his wife Zhao Yue, Wang Zhong's son died in the early years, and now there is only one grandson left, he persuaded his daughter-in-law to remarry many times, but the daughter-in-law was very paranoid. Wang Zhong is also not easy to force, originally Wang Zhong was the general banner before, and he also had seven stones of grain a month, but to help his daughter-in-law, it seemed overstretched.
On the dining table, today Zhao Yue made an exception and took out the treasured wine, and steamed a few large white films, as soon as the grandson saw the white film, he was ready to reach out and grab it, but the daughter-in-law hit his hand and scolded: "Let the grandparents eat first, do you have a tutor." The grandson had to open two big eyes and look at his grandfather aggrievedly.
Seeing this, Wang Zhong smiled and picked up a white film, handed it to his grandson, and said with a smile: "Come, you eat first, grandpa is not hungry." ”
The grandson saw the big white film and cast an inquiring glance at his mother, his mother had to nod, and then the grandson happily took the white film and began to devour it, no wonder he was so, after all, he had not eaten the white film for many days.
Wang Zhong looked at his gobbling grandson, touched his head, and said to her mother: "Moon goose, my father has now risen to a hundred households, and he will have the ability to make your mother and mother live better in the future." ”
When the daughter-in-law heard this, she stood up excitedly and said, "Father-in-law, have you really risen to 100 households?" Didn't you offend a lot of people before? ”
Wang Zhong nodded with a smile and said, "This time it's the new Lord Zhang, who personally designated me as a hundred households and asked me to take people to sea." ”
When Zhao Yue and her daughter-in-law heard this, they were also worried, and Zhao Yue said worriedly: "Old man, you are still going to sea at this age, can you stand it?" ”
Wang Zhong patted his chest and said with a smile: "When Lao Tzu was young, I didn't see any strong winds and waves, just those stinky boys, there are my opponents, don't worry, besides, we are just going to fish this time, and we won't leave too far." ”
After Zhao Yue heard Wang Zhong's words, she also relaxed a little.
The grandson on the side naturally didn't know what Baihu meant, so he saw him holding the white film, and asked with a smile: "Then, grandpa, can we eat white film every day in the future?" ”
Several people laughed.
Wang Zhong touched his grandson's head dotingly, nodded at him, and said softly: "Of course, grandpa will give you white film every day in the future."
Night fell quickly, after Wang Zhong ate, he returned to the room early, lay on the bed, and recalled what happened today, as if it was a dream, he was completely dead to the promotion of hundreds of households, and he also knew that he couldn't control this mouth, otherwise with his military exploits, he would have done a thousand households a long time ago. At the same time as him, the soldiers who followed Qi Jiguang were now the worst mixed, and they were all thousands of households, and he was the only one who was the most down-and-out, and before Zhang Yunlai came, he was just a general banner.
Wang Zhong began to recall his life, when he was young, he followed Qi Jiguang to kill the Japanese Kou, and then followed him to Liaodong, and finally returned to this root when he was old, and he drifted away for half his life, and finally met Bole today, thinking of this, Wang Zhong slept beautifully.
In the dream, after he dreamed of himself, because he was appreciated by Zhang Yun, he rose all the way, and finally became his wife and son.
