Lao Wang's footsteps were very slow, following the packhorse, swaying slowly, enjoying the rare peace. .
The sky has darkened, and the surrounding neighbors' yards are already lit up with dots of light, but the old Wang's yard is still dark.
There was a lot of helplessness in Lao Wang's heart. If he could join Su Duwei's guards, not to mention a 15-liter candle, even the pewter used by the head of the village, the rich man Li's family, could also be bought.
Dahao from the next village was in the army. The kid was divided into twelve when he was fighting the bandits in Sanniangzi Mountain. Later, he was divided into two to thirty-two. If I could join the guard, I wouldn't die. The pension is five hundred taels. The dozens of taels in front can also make the family live a good life.
"Daddy, why do you have to spend a lot of money to buy so many things?"
Dani took out the yard, looked at the package on the workhorse, and asked distressedly on her cheeks.
Lao Wang smiled hehe, and showed Dani the oil paper package he was holding in his hand: "Ni'er, look, what did Dad bring you?"
Erni, who was following him, turned her head, flattened her nose, and smiled: "It's meat, eldest sister, it's meat."
Lao Wang drove the packhorse into the yard and handed the oil paper bag to Dani. Flowers bloomed on her wrinkled cheeks:
"This is a reward from the Captain, let me bring you three to eat, saying that I will let you eat the meat."
"This oil-paper bag was handed to me by the little soldier of Lieutenant Lieutenant."
Dani took the oil paper package to Sanni, and came by herself to help Lao Wang unload the grain from the packhorse. Erni swiftly slid in and held the packhorse's bridle to prevent the packhorse from moving.
After unloading the food, the old Wang took the towel brought by the mother-in-law and wiped off the sweat. His wrinkled face was full of smiles: "I brought some meat back. You can cut some for the old man. I haven't seen any fish in the house for a few days. ."
The old lady is a small-minded woman who feels distressed for the work of the workhorse. Seeing the oil paper wrapped by Sanni, she feels distressed like something:
"Ah, how can you give such meat? Did you secretly work for the captain? The workhorse is tired enough in the daytime. You have to cherish your body."
Dani has already untied the two bags unloaded from the back of the packhorse. Seeing the copper coins and grain in the bags, she silently calculated:
"Father, excluding this bag of food, the money given this time is 30% more than usual. The official's work is also very good."
Lao Wang wiped his sweat and said with a beaming smile: "It's not Ye Di. When I went earlier, I regretted not being able to escape. The official money is so easy to get. The money given is so small, and it is dangerous.
It was also dangerous this time, but Lieutenant Su was able to command well, and the guard brothers fought bravely, and our civilian husbands were basically in no danger. "
Erni grabbed her pockets, her small eyes rolled around a few times, and she calculated and said: "If you count this bag of food, it will be 40% higher than the market price, dad, do you still have this kind of work, next time I talk to Are you going together?"
The old lady slapped the head of the house with the dust on her body, and when she heard Erni's words, she split her hand and gave Ernizi a towel:
"You die, Nizi, can you go to that turbulent place? Be a female celebrity at home. When your eldest sister gets married, my mother expects you to help me in the house."
Listening to the noise of his wife and daughter, the old Wang's eyebrows were just like his second daughter. He smiled and he was exhausted outside. Isn't he just wanting the four of them to live a good life, watching Erni Sanniwei While drooling over the barbecue, Dani helped the wife cook the pot, and the dark-faced Pharaoh felt warm in his heart.
"Send a piece of meat to Grandpa."
Lao Wang told Erni to say, sitting on the stool, Lao Wang had the style of the head of the family. Looking at the woman who was busy by the stove, she added:
"Your grandpa also sent a copy over there."
The lady who is burning the pot also opened her eyes with joy, patted her hand on her clothes, and said in a bluff:
"The third child, you dare to try it, take care of your skin, I'll divide it, you're an uneasy thing."
Although she was cursing, the corners of the old lady's eyes were full of smiles. When was the last time there was so much meat in the house?
In the year of marriage, the parents-in-law borrowed a famine on the river beach, and it seemed that they didn't buy so much meat.
Our Lao Wang has suffered.
After eating, Lao Wang lay on the kang, his wife's turning over and over made him irritable, and he reached out and slapped her **** on the woman's ass: "What's the trouble, don't hurry to sleep."
"I can not sleep."
"You are tired and light. Yesterday we slept under the Erlong Mountain Bandit Village. Lieutenant Su in the guard was on duty. He didn't dared to close his eyes all night. Today, he took my car back to Beiyang. I didn't even open my eyes along the way."
"Master, can we still have such a job?"
The old lady finally asked what was in her heart. She ate a lot of barbecue tonight, and it tasted really fragrant.
The old lady calculated for a long time in her heart, and felt that although the sale was a bit farther away, she made enough money. There was also a bag of grain. If it were in a famine year, this bag of grain would be worth that of the old king. The money for the trip is out.
Lao Wang smiled and didn't say anything. Before he left, he was really listening. Su Duwei said it himself, and asked him to gather at Nanguan Daying in two days. At least he could get the money again.
Moreover, in the past few days, he has used sleepy time to trouble Su Duwei, so that he can remember himself.
Lao Wang's wife misunderstood what he meant, and sighed in disappointment:
"If you don't have it, you don't need to run there. I heard from Lizheng in my aunt's village. Four or five young born in Beisanli were on the way to Beizheng, and nothing was left behind. At that time, I was worried that it was broken, for fear that you would also meet those bandits."
Lao Wang was excited when he heard the words, and said cheerfully: "I met, I also met those bandits."
This time, not only the old lady was scared, but even the three little niezi who eavesdropped in the next room also called out in fear.
Lao Wang held down the woman who wanted to teach Nizi with the soles, and said happily:
"Otherwise you think that the bag of food came from, it was Lieutenant Su who took out the bandit's den and got it out and gave us one person and one bag. The guards who came with us, but one person and two bags. "
"The treatment of the guards is also very good." The old lady was sour in her heart.
Lao Wang lay down and started to be confused: "Well, tomorrow you will pack a few eggs. I will take Da Nizi and go to the Du Lieutenant to wander around. The Du Li has not married a wife. It's the best thing for me to join the army. If I can't, it's okay to see Dani, then we can make a lot of money."
"Why do you want to join the guard..."
When the old lady heard the snoring sound, she subconsciously swallowed the words behind her, got up, helped him cover her stomach, and lay down herself, but her heart was full of what the old king said, and she entered the army.
The next day, Lao Wang told his wife about the benefits of entering the army, and her eyes became straight.
"You can get five hundred taels if you die?"
"My dear mother, how can I get so many miles? I don't believe me, I don't believe it. Those five hundred taels of silver were not brought by the wind, and he can take them out at random."
The old Wang urged Dani to put eggs in the basket, and gave the wife a glance:
"What I heard with my own ears, can there be fakes? Erhao from Dongjiazhuang in the west of the city died among the bandits, so he took five hundred taels. When passing by Dongjiazhuang today, I will ask."
"Sick Nizi, three or two eggs, why are you so stingy."
Lao Wang scolded the eldest daughter, so she had to do it herself. Although the old woman was babbling about her unbelief, she still did it herself and put all the eggs in the family into the basket. This is a great thing for the family.
...
As soon as Su Lu got up, he heard a familiar loud voice in the yard.
"Danizi, hurry up and pick up the broom. How can we let the adults' soldiers sweep the floor? We can do such rough work."
Su Lu was puzzled. Could it be that Su Yun hired someone when he was not at home?
But why is this voice a bit familiar? It resembles the old Wang who has been chasing himself to join the guard these days.
An illusion, it must be an illusion.
