"Gotcha."

"Uncle Village Chief, the women's martial arts team should also pay attention to it, next year I will wait for the women of my mother's village to stand on the competition field, if they win, my face will also shine."

The village chief should be good.

"It's getting dark, sister-in-law and aunt go home and cook, the little radish heads stay, I'll ask you about your studies." After all, Haizhu doesn't want to be surrounded by people.

"Haizhu, go to my house for dinner at night? Your aunt was catching chickens when I went out. "The village chief invited.

"Don't bother, we'll eat at Aunt Jinhua's house."

There was a fishing boat sailing in on the river, Haizhu looked at the end of the river, Dongzhu and Chun Mu took food from the boat and gave it to the children, taking advantage of this moment, she inquired about the affairs of the official school without a trace, and asked the master what he taught every day, whether he would scold the little girl, and whether he was close to the big girl and the little daughter-in-law...... Don't underestimate these children, people are small and sharp-eyed, and if they love to hide cats, they are easy to hear whispers, and adults will not carry them behind their backs.

"I heard my cousin say that Gu Fuzi praised her for her good feet, praised her for her good needlework, and asked her to give her a pair of shoes and a pair of foot socks." Erdan chewed the sticky caramel and poured out the bones he knew.

Haizhu winked at Chun Alfalfa and continued to ask him what his cousin's name was.

"Haizhu is back? You came back alone? "The fishermen have returned.

"I'm back with Dongzhu. Uncle Dawang, how was the harvest today? ”

"It's not bad, the network doesn't fall short."

"It's going to be a prosperous year."

The man smiled and nodded, he smashed the anchor, lifted two buckets of rice from the boat, carried the dead fish on his back and walked home, and said, "I'll go back and help your aunt cook, and I'll call you when the meal is ready." ”

"We'll have dinner at Aunt Jinhua's house in the evening."

"Then come to my house tomorrow at noon."

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning." Haizhu said: "This time I am going out on an errand, time is tight, next time I come back to stay for a few more days, and then I will go to your house for dinner." ”

"It's okay, stay a few more days next time you come back, and let your uncle and your grandmother come back too."

After recording the specific situation on Chun Alfalfa's side, she let the children disperse, and came over and said, "Young lady, we forgot to check this point, according to the speculation of these children, Gu An should not have attacked Chen Xiaoyu yet." ”

"There may have been Zhou Xiaoyu and Li Xiaoyu before Chen Xiaoyu, tomorrow I will send two guards to you, you take Dongzhu to stay and bring Gu An back to Fucheng for interrogation, and then arrange a female master to come down to teach."

"Sister, what about you?" Dongzhu asked.

"I'll continue west." There was another boat on the river, Haizhu motioned for them to shut up and say no more, she smiled and greeted people, and it was not until the moon appeared that she walked into the courtyard of the Wei family.

Wei Jinhua was stewing chicken, saw Haizhu come in, and asked, "Your uncle hasn't come back yet?" It's getting dark. ”

"My dad went to the dock to buy groceries." Zheng Erlang said.

"Even if you go to the dock to buy groceries, it's time to come back." Wei Jinhua was a little worried.

"I'll let the helmsman sail to meet him." Haizhu walked out, walked to the river, and saw a boat on the river in the distance, she shouted: "Is it Uncle Zheng?" ”

"It's me."

"I'm back, Aunt Wei, my uncle is back."

As the fishing boat approached, Zheng Haishun threw down the anchor, took a breath and said, "It's really cold, as soon as the night falls, the bones blown by the wind are cold." ”

The bird in the cabin, cowering under the covers, nodded when it heard this, and it was too cold to get off the ship.

The meat, tofu, crabs, and fruits on the boat were taken down one by one, and Haizhu helped to carry them, saying, "Why buy so much, we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"You don't come back often, take a walk, go into the house, the wind by the river is cold."

When he returned to the dock, it was late, the tofu seller was gone, and the meat in the pork shop was gone, so he had to go to the restaurant to talk to people, and bought a piece of tofu and a knife of pork from the restaurant.

The wind in the river was blowing into the yard, and when people entered the house, Zheng Dalang closed the door, and before he could take a few steps, the door was knocked again, and it was the people in the village who sent the dishes, all of which were hot soup and hot dishes that had just come out of the pot.

Seven or eight families delivered food, the Zheng family's meal was not ready, the table was already full, Haizhu called the guards, helmsman and cook on the ship to come down to eat, and if someone sent food, they didn't have to cook alone.

After the people on the boat finished eating, the Zheng family's meal was also ready, Haizhu and Dongzhu sat down, she smelled the fragrance and rubbed her hands, and said, "I haven't eaten Aunt Wei's cooking for a long time." ”

"It's not a good thing, it's not as delicious as what you make." Wei Jinhua smiled.

"That's not the case, it's the taste of my hometown."

"You will always come back in the future, and when you come back, you will come to eat with me." Wei Jinhua gave Haizhu and Dongzhu meat, and beckoned Chun Alfalfa: "Girl, you are free, you're welcome." ”

Alfalfa nodded.

Kelp and tofu stew, radish stewed chicken, steamed fish, steamed crab, stewed egg with meat foam, dry fried clams, stir-fried vegetable moss, scrambled eggs with shrimp, eight dishes for seven people, and it was late at night after eating.

"Sleep on a boat or in a house at night? Your house was cleaned up five days ago or six days ago, with your uncle. Wei Jinhua packed up the pots and pans and came out to ask.

"On a sleeping ship, there is a futon in the cabin." Haizhu replied, she pondered for a moment, and said: "Uncle, aunt, we shouldn't move back, the house at home is idle and no one lives in it, and your two boys are also older, in my opinion, don't build a house, just live in our house." ”

"That's not going to work......" Zheng Haishun was not happy to take advantage of this in vain.

"Uncle, listen to me first, don't let you live in vain, my father, my grandfather and my second aunt's grave are entrusted to you to take care of, weeding every day, and come to worship at leisure, we don't come back often, after a long time, the grave will become a deserted grave."

"Needless to say, there have always been people in your family's grave clan who have been taking care of it, and we will worship when we go to the grave." Zheng Haishun glanced at his two sons and said, "Otherwise, I will buy your house, you will have less, I will give less, if you give it to me for nothing, you won't live it." ”

Haizhu could only respond, and after pulling repeatedly, she only accepted thirty taels of silver.

Spent the night on the boat, at dawn, Haizhu and Dongzhu carried incense, candles, paper and stepped on the dew to worship, and when she burned the paper, she told her deceased father about the house, and his good brother's son lived in the house he built, which was more meaningful than the old and collapsed house.

Dongzhu and Chun Mo and two guards will follow the fishing boat to the pier at low tide, Haizhu will go first with the boat, and the three will part ways in Qijiawan, and she will continue westward.

After another six days, the boat arrived at the island where Yao Qingman's mother's family lived, Haizhu saw Han Ji's boat, and she was surprised: "I thought you would go back early, but what happened to delay the time?" ”

It is said that it is out for half a month, and it will be a month if there are seven or eight days.

"The old chief is dead, and I'm going to the funeral." Han Ji sighed and said, "It is said that her health was not good in the summer, but she got better in the autumn, and I thought she had survived this catastrophe, but she died in her sleep five days ago." ”

Haizhu recalled that her impression of the old chief was still clear, an old man who was dedicated to the people of the tribe.

Han Ji didn't want to mention it more, and asked, "Why are you and Mingzhu here?" ”

Haizhu walked to the island with the silent bird, and explained her itinerary to Han Ji, "I'll be back tomorrow, will you go back?" ”

"Back." Han Ji took the bird and asked, "Dumb?" Don't say hello when you see me. ”

"You're dumb." The bird returns the beak.

"It's cold, and it's as inactive as a hibernating snake." Haizhu explained.

"You're afraid of the cold when you have feathers?" Han Ji's fingers poked into the bird's feathers, and this action caused the bird to scream and scold him for being a hooligan.

"Less disgusting me." Han Ji tore open his sleeve and stuffed it in, and said, "Go back and let the embroidery girl make you a padded jacket." ”

He took the bird to check the troops on the island, and Haizhu went to preach about the women's martial arts team, and mixed into the children's pile to inquire about the situation of the official school.

After dinner on the island in the evening, the two went back to the boat.

Han Ji boarded Haizhu's boat, walked into the cabin and saw the bird squatting at the foot of the bed, and Haizhu made a warm bird's nest for it with a cotton jacket.

"Stay regular at night, there's someone on board." Haizhu opened.

"Who are you?" He didn't let his subordinates listen to the corner of the wall, and even if they thought about it a little more, he felt disgusted, he really wanted to have sex with Haizhu on the boat like a beast, he felt that it was an insult to Haizhu.

"I'm just here to talk to you, and I'll sleep next door at night." He lifted his robe and sat at the stern of the boat, pulled Haizhu to sit on his lap, he pillowed on her shoulder, and said: "It's the middle of winter, go back and stay for a few days, and then I will go to the island in the deep sea with the boat to see the situation, collect a few boats of chickens, ducks and pigs and come back, and sell them for military expenses." ”

"The military budget given by the imperial court is insufficient?"

Han Ji shook his head, "It's less than half, but fortunately, there are merchant ships now, and I can raise them." ”

"By the way, I didn't have a lot of fun going to Dali this year, how about traveling north next year? Don't take the canal, sail around the sea. Han Ji didn't want to mention the disappointment, so he changed his words in an instant.

"Okay, I'll go after the year, and if you catch it well, you can still see the snow."

The parrot chirped twice and said, "The birds are going too." ”

"The farther north you go, the colder it gets, aren't you afraid?" Haizhu turned her head and asked.

The bird got up from the nest and shook its feathers, it flew to Han Ji's shoulder, and said flatteringly: "The young general makes a padded jacket for the bird, and the bird is not afraid." ”

"Who's a hooligan?" Han Ji took the opportunity to pinch it.

The bird was dumb, and it said bluntly, "The bird sings you a song." ”

"I don't like to hear it, I just want to know who the hooligans are."

"The bird said the wrong thing." The parrot stubbornly admitted its mistake, and seeing that Han Ji still didn't let go, it shouted, "The bird is a hooligan—"

The revenge was avenged, Han Ji smiled proudly, he flicked the hard beak of the bird, and once again poked his finger under the base of the parrot's wings, forcing the bird to scream.

"Peck it." Haizhu didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said: "Take him out, if he doesn't make you a padded jacket, I'll make it for you." ”

The bird immediately couldn't bear it, flapped its wings and flew to the top of the person's head to shit, shouting: "Han Ji is a hooligan, a rude bird." ”

Han Ji was so disgusted that he sat up and pulled the door open and ran out.

Chapter 239: Xiao Biesheng is newly married

On the way back, passing through Yongning Wharf, Haizhu and Han Ji disembarked with the bird, and the two went to the street to buy some meat, food, melons and fruits and went to Hongshi Village, planning to pick up Pingsheng and go to Fucheng to live for a while, and then send him back at the end of the year.

The weather was cloudy for a few days, and today it was rare to see it clear, and the golden light of the sun pierced through the clouds, and the wind was warm, and the parrot fluttered with joy, and it flew in front of people, saying, "The birds have been here." ”

The people who were drying kelp and salted fish in the distance heard the childish voice and looked over, recognized it as Haizhu and Han Ji, and waved their hands to greet them from afar.

"I feel that Yongning Town and the people who live in this place are different to me." Haizhu looked up, the road ahead, the town behind, and the dock by the sea, all of which had her figure.

"Stay for a few days? Go to Bluestone Lane? Han Ji proposed.

"Forget it." What she misses is that feeling, she runs through the streets and alleys, acquaintances casually greet each other, chatting a few words, that feeling of relaxation and coziness is nostalgic. At this time, when she returned to Qingshi Lane, the neighbors would be pleasantly surprised, but this kind of surprise was very bland, seven or eight sentences could not be finished, and the conversation for a while was uninteresting, and she did not have the worry of having a long conversation with the neighbors.

"You can go back here when you're old, but no, the people I knew at that time were also old, and even left before me, it's not that feeling." Haizhu shook her head, she looked at the small fishing village that appeared in front of her, the warm sun fell on the bluestone wall, it was still the same as before, "I don't know if the big yellow dog is still virtuous." ”

"We've only been married for a little more than a month, how do you feel like you've been away for ten or eight years? Not having a good time on the island? Han Ji tasted a trace of loneliness from her words.

"It's not bad, I just miss life here."

"That means that life on the island is still not as interesting as here, what you did here before, it's the same on the island, I don't restrain you, go out to fish, open a restaurant to sell food, you can continue to do it." Han Ji said seriously, he pondered it carefully, and continued: "You can send someone to be responsible for the affairs of the women's martial arts team, and you don't need to personally notify each village. ”

"Oh, you misunderstood, how can I let myself be wronged, I can't go to the sea in the cold, what restaurant do I open if I don't catch good things? I didn't want to play with my kids at home, so I took the opportunity to come out. Haizhu gestured and said, "Shut up, don't talk about it, I will go to sea when the weather is warm in spring, and I will cook and sell good things at the bottom of the sea." ”

"The bird has seen the big yellow dog." The parrot flew into the village, and it flew around the dog, saying that it had not been seen for a long time.

Haizhu spread his hands and said, "Look, birds feel this way, too." ”

The big yellow dog is still the same, it stares at Haizhu without moving, and when people get closer, it smells of flesh, its eyes move to the things that Han Ji mentioned, its stiff tail wagged happily, and its ears collapsed.

"Haizhu, Madame... The Lady of the Major General......"
