The veterans all nodded, and the old man led Zhuzhu to call people one by one.

Zhuzhu has a milky voice, very squeamish, but the rules are good. At this moment, her big eyes were crooked when she smiled, and her uncle listened to the veterans so much that she couldn't help but dig out her heart and lungs.

Just talking and laughing, the veterans finished their first meal when they came to Tai's house.

At this time, there was another knock on the courtyard door.

Tai Jizu was startled, hurriedly opened the door, and then led Tai Sanye and a few villagers in.

It turned out that the villagers of the patrol team found that there was movement in the Tai family, and they lit oil lamps, for fear that someone would come to make trouble, so they hurriedly asked Tai Sanye for an idea.

Old Man Tai welcomed everyone into the house, and when he saw that several villagers were close to their families on weekdays and did things safely, he was relieved.

"Third brother, these ten veterans were specially invited back by me from the border army. In the future, the safety of our village and the children's learning skills will depend on them. ”

After that, he introduced to the veterans, "This is the patriarch of our Taijia Village, and the rest are the trusted clansmen and brothers in the village." If you want to get along for a long time in the future, don't be restrained, it's your own family. ”

The veterans hurriedly greeted each other with the villagers, and Tai Sanye saw that the veterans were all strong, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

The people of the village were even more excited, they had just said that they would find someone to learn some skills from the naughty boys in the village, but now that the master has arrived, there are still so many.

The sixth uncle is simply too reliable!

The old man glanced at the sky outside, and he didn't want to make a bigger move, causing too many people to pay attention.

He whispered, "I guess he'll come back for revenge." For the time being, the He Shan brothers can't show up in the village, so it's better to live in the ancestral hall temporarily and protect the village secretly.

"After a while, we should also repair the ancestral hall, and then build a separate courtyard for them, and they will live comfortably."

"Done!" Tai Sanye immediately responded, "I simply picked it up before, but the ancestral hall is not dirty, but there are no bedding and other things." ”

"This is easy to do, our family is ready to come out."

Old man Tai called his daughters-in-law to get the bedding, there is no shortage of cashmere at home, Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang have free time to put on the bedding, in case the family goes out or comes to the guests, they can use it at any time.

"As for eating," said the old man again, "I can only work hard for the brothers for a few days, and let my step-ancestor or step-ancestor send the food in the morning and evening, and eat dry food at noon." ”

He Shan and the others hurriedly waved their hands and responded one after another.

"That's already good."

"yes, we're not having a hot meal at the border."

"Yes, as long as you can eat enough."

Tai Sanye was careful and added, "Then I'll talk to the patrol team in private, let them recognize people, and save yourself from another conflict in the middle of the night." ”

After this discussion, the futon and other materials were prepared.

The patrol team continued to patrol, and Tai Sanye took He Shan and others to the ancestral hall quietly.

The old man Tai and his son didn't follow, and at such a time, the smaller the movement, the less noticeable it is......

When they got up in the morning, the Tai family was a little unenergetic, after all, they tossed for half the night. But everyone is much more at ease!

The people in the village are united, and they dare to fight when they have something, but they are not capable in the end.

Now that He Shan and the others have arrived, one is enough to top ten people, and they are not afraid of blood, which is simply too reassuring.

Just after breakfast, Steward Min and Steward Wu arrived together, so they naturally came over to give a gift to their master.

Tai Yongning accompanied his grandfather and met the two stewards together.

Mrs. Min is the head of the house, and she knows too well what she needs to live, so the gifts she sent are as affordable as ever, rice noodles and vegetable oil, chicken, fish, meat and eggs, and spirits, as well as four comfortable and breathable summer cotton cloths, the color is very plain, suitable for women to make underwear or cut gowns for Yongning.

Mrs. Wu also sent some food, but more pen, ink and paper, which was used in preparation for Yongning, so the family did not need to spend money to buy it.

And Steward Min also returned the favor, he brought two jars of preserved fruits, two jars of wine, and a leg of mutton, planning to have a good drink with the old man.

He has been a slave of the Min family since he was a child, but his parents died early, and his children are not here, so he can be said to be alone.

Since I met the Tai family, from the initial use to recognition, and then to today's closeness, it is really an unexpected fate.

Occasionally, when he has free time, he is willing to come to Tai's house to sit and feel the warmth and fireworks of home.

Listening to the old man's nagging, he was also happy, if his father was still alive, it would probably be like this.

Steward Wu talked and laughed with everyone for a long time, and finally did not stay to eat, and went back to the city directly.

The old man wanted his daughter-in-law to roast a leg of lamb, but he felt that the house was smoky, and it would be embarrassing to invite the children in the village to drool on the door.

Simply, he invited Steward Min to go to the mountain hut to play.

Steward Min had long heard that the Tai family had a wooden house in the mountains, but he had never been there once.

Of course, I was glad to have the opportunity this time, and it was rare to think about it being comfortable to have a barbecue and drink wine in the mountains.

Zhuzhu was even more happy, running around happily with sesame balls, and showing off with Steward Min from time to time.

"Uncle Min, my grandfather's roasted rabbit is delicious! Let grandpa bake one for you, and divide my two thighs with sesame balls! ”

Steward Min laughed when he heard this, and responded, "Okay, if you want to eat, you can give you the whole rabbit." But it's too troublesome to catch rabbits, so let's roast a leg of lamb today! ”

"Don't bother, there are a lot of rabbits on the mountain, and they will all come to give Zhuzhu meat!" The fat girl waved her little fat hand nonchalantly, which made Steward Min laugh even more.

How did he know the fat girl's magical ability, he just thought that the old man was good at hunting, so that this girl had the illusion that a rabbit was easy to catch.

Of course, the Tai family will not say anything.

So, soon the old man carried the beads on his back and took Steward Min up the mountain, and the sesame balls ran in front to open the way.

Tai Jizu deliberately went to the ancestral hall, and He Shan took two soldiers to sneak into the mountains and forests to protect them secretly.

When they arrived at the wooden house, the campfire was set up, and the leg of lamb was roasted with oil.

Old Man Tai and Steward Min were full of wine, laughing, eating and drinking.

Zhuzhu and sesame balls divided the meat, and they also ate small mouths of oil.

In the end, the pot of wine was drunk, and only the bones of the leg of mutton remained, which were bitten into the stomach by the sesame balls.

Steward Min was dizzy, walking a little unsteadily, and was helped into the house by the old man to take a nap.

Zhuzhu shouted crisply outside the door, "Grandpa, let's go see grandma, shall we?" ”

The old man went out, smiled and carried his granddaughter and continued to climb the mountain.

The old lady's grave was well cared for, with only a few weeds.

The old man slowly pulled out the weeds, gave his wife a few snacks, and then sat down in front of the grave with his granddaughter in his arms, and once again looked at the valley in the distance.

In early summer, the valley is quiet and quiet, with the occasional bird flying low in the sky and the crisp chirping echoing through the valley.

In the mountain forest behind the tomb, He Shan sat on a big tree, looking at the old and the young, frowning slightly.

He Qian couldn't have guessed wrong, whether it was the Tai family, no matter how the Tai family looked at it, they were all down-to-earth and simple people, and there was nothing wrong with it.

How could it be a big secret......
