"My father must be back, as well as my adoptive father, and Uncle Dayong!" Jiayin was so happy that she ran towards the entrance of the village, followed by the jumping little fox.
"Fu Niu'er, come back, be careful not to get stepped on by the horse!"
Mrs. Li called to her granddaughter, but unfortunately she couldn't stop her.
Sure enough, the horse team ran closer and closer, and they could see more clearly.
There were more than a dozen riders, covered in dust, and the leader was none other than Li Laosi.
When he got close, he slowed down his horse, then laughed and bent down to pick up his daughter and sit in front of him.
The little fox also had bad eyesight and quick claws. He grabbed the corner of Jiayin's skirt, followed him onto the horse's back, and then squatted on the horse's head.
It stared with two black bean eyes, obviously scared to death, and did not dare to let go of its claws, but the fox's face was still full of excitement.
Such a cowardly and playful look made everyone at the door of Li's house laugh.
"Mom, I'm back!" Li Laosi greeted his mother loudly, then jumped off the horse, put his daughter down, and knelt down to kowtow.
"Get up, get up!" Mrs. Li's heart, which had been hanging high for many days, finally dropped. She tried her best to hold back her tears and touched her son's arms and legs before she said with peace of mind: "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!" "
Tao Hongying turned her back and wiped away her tears, then turned around and blamed her husband with red eyes, "If you go out, you won't be able to catch your shadow, and you won't know how to send a message to your family!"
Li Laosi subconsciously scratched the back of his head. He smiled naively, "There are barbarians everywhere in Jiangbei, and it's not convenient to send letters."
The Li family was used to seeing him like this, but this was the first time they saw the soldiers following him.
The god of death on the battlefield, a born strongman, even the barbarians were frightened when they saw him. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be afraid of his wife when he returned home. The contrast was really great!
Some people couldn't help but burst out laughing. Li Laosi turned around and scolded with a smile: "Wei Daniu, if you dare to laugh at me, just wait! After you get married, let's see if you are afraid of Xiao Cui'er!"
He called him by name. The strong man burst into laughter, "I'm not afraid, my Xiaocui is so gentle."
Mrs. Li knew that these were brothers who had been with her son through life and death, so she quickly asked: "Fourth brother, where is Mr. Hou, Dayong? " Where?"
"Mom, don't worry, Mr. Hou and Dayong are fine too. Mr. Hou has gone to Xindu, but Dayong is worried, so he went with him and will be back tomorrow." Li Laosi quickly replied.
"Okay, okay!"
Mrs. Li quickly asked Shui Ling to go to the backyard to report the news to Hui Niang, so as not to let her worry about it.
He also arranged for his son to take these soldiers to the Marquis's yard next door to wash their clothes, but there were not so many clean clothes at home for them to change into...
But it was not a big problem. The village chief and Liu Biaotou who arrived later said a few words I'll help solve the problem. All the men in the village can go home and bring over their sweaters!
It has to be said that everyone in the new village respects and loves the Marquis and these war heroes.
When the women from each family heard about the reason why the men wanted clothes, they not only found clean clothes and pants, but also brought new middle coats and even new shoes and socks.
They also asked the men to bring back the dirty clothes, shoes and socks that the soldiers had changed into. They quickly washed them and dried them overnight.
Tao Hongying even called Aunt He, Shui Yun and Shui Ling to prepare meals urgently.
Wenjuan also wanted to help, but was kicked back by Mrs. Li.
At this time, it was too late to stew meat. Tao Hongying simply took out all the dry noodles at home, opened a jar of meat sauce, cut cucumber shreds, coriander, and chopped green onion to make noodles with fried sauce.
One person prepared three large bowls.
Tao Hongying was afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat, so she scooped out another half bowl of thin noodles, added eggs, green onions, pepper and salt, stirred them into batter, and baked a large stack of egg pancakes.
The soldiers were washed and fragrant, changed into clean clothes and shoes, and then started eating with bowls of noodles. The egg pancakes as big as a plate were rolled into a tube and eaten in two bites...
In the end, not to mention that the pancakes were all eaten, the meat sauce was gone, and even the noodle soup was all consumed!
If not, all the soldiers would be burping like this and walking around the courtyard with their bellies in their hands. Tao Hongying really suspected that the food was undercooked...
Jiayin sat on her father's shoulders, smiling as she listened to her father bragging to his brothers, "Why? So, my wife's cooking tastes good, right? Huh, how many times have I told you, but you don't believe it, now do you believe it?"
All the soldiers were envious and jealous, Wei Daniu took the lead and laughed: "I believe it, of course I believe it. , It's a pity that my sister-in-law stuck a flower in the cow dung!"
"Boy, look for a beating!" Li Laosi chased Wei Daniu away, and the two of them ran around the yard.
Jiayin was afraid of falling, so she grabbed her father's hair and laughed along with him.
The little fox didn't understand what was going on, but it was a good person to join in the fun. It jumped up and down, panting from exhaustion.
The soldiers discovered that the little fox had three tails. They guessed that the marquis had gone up the mountain to hunt the one with his own hands, and they also teased it for a long time.
Mrs. Li was sitting under the eaves, listening to the laughter in the yard next door, and she was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
Life was hard when the children were young, and she really wished that they would grow up in an instant, help her support her family, and help her support the Li family.
Now that her sons are married and have their own careers, and even her grandchildren have gone to school, she feels that everything in the house is empty.
In the huge courtyard, there were only her, her daughter-in-law, and her granddaughter, so it was extremely quiet.
Now it's fine, my son is back, but it's going to be lively for a while.
Soon, the big kang in the wing room of the Ye family was warm. Li Laosi settled his brothers to rest, and then carried his daughter back to his yard.
The "one pot from the farm" prepared by Jiayin earlier was already cooked, so Tao Hongying temporarily added a few more dishes, leaving the village chief and Liu Biaotou to eat together.
To avoid misunderstanding, Mrs. Li told them personally that the corn and potatoes came from Zhengjiazhuang.
After hearing this, the village chief waved his hands anxiously and said: "Old madam, the entire Broken Gold Beach is Fu Niu'er's fiefdom. She can eat whatever she wants. This is what she should do! There will be no one in the village. Say a word!"
"That can't be done. We agreed at the beginning that we would all take shares and work together and harvest together. We can't break the agreement just because Fu Niu'er became the princess." Mrs. Li insisted.
She continued: "Besides, there are also hard-working people in Zhengjiazhuang. Whatever we have in our village, we have over there. Fu Niuer is often sent here in big and small cars. How big is Fu Niuer's belly?" , I can't even finish it."
Jiayin also stood up, smiled and brought half a stick of boiled corn to the village chief, "Grandpa village chief, try it, this is delicious to nibble on."
"Okay, okay! "The village chief carefully picked up the corn and was a little excited, "I'm really enjoying myself. I don't know how many people in Tianwu haven't tasted it, but I'm about to eat it..."
Everyone laughed and started to eat the rest. The boiled corn was divided.
At this time of year, the corn kernels have not yet completely set their pulp, so they are still fresh and tender.
These dozen sticks were grown in Jiayin Space, and their quality was much better than ordinary ones. They tasted sweet, soft, glutinous, sticky and fragrant, which surprised and liked everyone.
"Well, this corn tastes so good when cooked!"
"Yeah, I thought it had to be ground into powder like sorghum."
"You can also grind it into powder, but it's good to eat it tender at this time."
" Even the elderly and children can eat it, it's really a good thing!"
