Old Man Tai immediately got up and got off the ground, grabbed the waist knife behind the door and touched the door of the house.

Similarly, Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong also got up.

Tai Jizu was worried about his younger brother, he and the old man slept in the main room, but the younger brother and his wife lived in the wing room.

In case the bad guys break in and there is a conflict, the younger brother and wife are weak and it is easy to suffer.

Fortunately, there was a knock on the courtyard door after a while, and the visitor had no intention of breaking in.

Old Man Tai thought about it, pushed the door and walked out, and asked loudly, "Who?" ”

Someone outside the gate of the courtyard answered, "Bian Guan Hexiong sent us." ”

He Xiong?!

The old man immediately let go of half of his heart, but the waist knife in his hand still did not put down, opened the door and walked to the gate of the courtyard.

Tai Jizu hurriedly followed behind with the door bolt, and when he walked to the door of the wing, Tai Jizong also came out.

The father and son carefully opened the courtyard door, and looked through the light night, and sure enough, there were many people standing outside the courtyard, all men.

Xu was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, and the people in front were five or six steps away from the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing the old man appear, the person at the front threw a sign.

Old Man Tai took it with his sleeve and rubbed it carefully, with surprise in his expression, but more at ease.

He Xiong has a heart, this is the waist card of the seventh battalion.

When he came home from the army, he handed in all the waist cards, but he didn't expect to return to him in this way one day.

"Brothers, it's really slacking, come in quickly!" Old Man Tai let go of the door and beckoned people into the courtyard.

Yang Lihua was dressed in clothes and guarded at the door of the house, and when she heard the old man speak, she quickly lit the lamp in the hall.

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong looked carefully around the courtyard before they followed.

There are a total of ten people who come, but fortunately, the Tai family always entertains the villagers on weekdays, and there are a lot of stools, otherwise they really can't sit down.

The veteran in front saluted Old Man Tai and said, "Senior, we don't know what the situation is in your family, for fear of attracting attention during the day, so we can only come and disturb at night." ”

"No, no, the brothers are welcome."

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, "It's our family that bothered you to hurry up, to be honest, something did happen recently, and it almost caused a big disaster, so the family was more cautious." Let's not be in a hurry to say this, have you had dinner, do you want to pad your stomach first? ”

The leading veteran hesitated for a moment, then replied, "We are in a hurry, and we haven't eaten at noon or night." ”

"Oh, what is this, you can't do anything on an empty stomach!" The old man hurriedly called out to his daughter-in-law, "Let's see what is ready-made in the stove, and hurry up and give some to the brothers." ”

Yang Lihua immediately walked out, and Liu Dongniang was already guarding the door.

The concubine and Chunhong and Erya, who rushed to hear the movement, hurriedly lit a fire to cook.

Fortunately, Liu Dongniang was going to prepare food for the women in the backyard tomorrow morning, so she sent a large pot of noodles, quickly poured it out, kneaded it and began to burn the dough.

Yang Lihua boiled porridge, Erya and Chunhong Mali cut cabbage tofu, and poured a large bowl of braised pork left over from the day into it and stewed it together.

The blanching of the greens in the vegetable garden, the cut of the cut, plus sweet, sour salt and sesame oil, is also a good thing to eat......

In the room, ten veterans had already reported their names to the old man.

The veteran in the lead is called He Shan, who is also the oldest in this team, and has been a personal guard by the general's side before, but then his left leg was injured and he was a little lame, so he went to the logistics to nourish the horse.

This time, he came to Tai's house and took the initiative to ask He Xiong. Because they took a fancy to the big black horse and the white horse, and heard that the Tai family took excellent care of the horses, the pair was naturally not bad.

Of the remaining nine soldiers, five of them wanted to be discharged after serving as soldiers for more than ten years, and four of them were also slightly injured.

But I have to say that He Xiong is really attentive to the Tai family, and these ten people are all good hands.

Whether it's scouting, fighting, or riding a horse and archery, all of them are first-class and powerful.

The old man was so happy, but he didn't have to worry about it in the future, and he didn't have to worry about his family being hurt by it.

He didn't hide it, and told him about the dumb man who came to sprinkle oil and set fire a few days ago.

Of course, the real reason cannot be revealed, it can only be attributed to the family's fortune and some people's eyes.

In the end, he said, "Now that the business has just started, this kind of thing has happened, and I don't know how many people behind it will do it again." I asked Mr. He Qian to help find the brothers to come over, just to keep the family safe.

"As long as the brothers are willing to do their best, our Tai family will never live up to your efforts, even if I am gone, there are still children and grandchildren to support you in the old age. From now on, this will be your home!

"It's okay if you don't believe it for the time being, get along for a long time, and you will know how our Tai family is doing."

The ten veterans glanced at each other, and they were all slightly relieved.

Regardless of whether the old man's words can be fulfilled or not, at least they have promised.

He Shan took the lead in getting up and saluting, "Senior, if someone wants to hurt the Tai family in the future, they will definitely step on our corpse." ”

"No, no!" Old Man Tai hurriedly helped them up and instructed, "Nothing is important in life, and neither do you." If there is danger, don't care about the house and belongings at home, let's save our lives first.

"Money can be earned, and the house can be built, but my life is gone, I don't have the ability to find Lord Yama to rob you back!"

The veterans are all happy, and their hearts are a little more stable.

They came to the Tai family to settle down and protect the hospital, and they should sacrifice their lives for the Tai family, but the Tai family regarded their lives as more important than the property of the house.

It was a real surprise......

At this time, Yang Lihua and the others had already cooked a meal.

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong helped set up tables and chairs, and the old man beckoned He Shan and the others to sit down and eat quickly.

Yang Lihua was busy serving porridge, when the door of the West House squeaked, and Zhuzhu rubbed her eyes and walked out.

"Mother, are you eating delicious from Zhuzhu?" The white and tender milk dumplings, the soft and glutinous accusations, made everyone laugh.

The old man was afraid that his granddaughter would be cold, so he quickly pulled off his shirt and wrapped her in his arms.

"Zhuzhu, you see, there are so many uncles and uncles in the family, and they haven't eaten. That's why your mother and aunt are making porridge and pancakes. Would you like to have something together? ”

The milk dumpling nodded quickly, and finally obediently let her mother wipe her little fleshy hands, and then held a golden hair dough cake bigger than her face and nibbled it.

She didn't forget to look at everyone while eating, her big eyes blinked, and she was very cute.

He Shan and the others are the youngest, they are also thirty years old, and they are in the military camp all the year round, and they have no daughters-in-law and children. Some are even orphans who don't have parents.

At this time, I suddenly saw a white fat and cute milk ball, and my heart was unconsciously soft.

Milk dumplings look at them, they also look at milk dumplings, how to look at how they like it.

He Shan had a hard time talking and asked, "Old man, is this our little lady?" ”

The old man nodded and responded, "This is the eldest daughter of my family, and the only little girl in the family." You are all her uncles in terms of seniority, you don't need to be called any young lady, and our family is not a big family. In the future, this girl will call your uncle, and you will call her Zhuzhu. ”
