Soldiers can fill their stomachs on weekdays, and it is very good to have a tooth-dashing festival occasionally.

It was the first time for almost everyone to encounter such a delicious meal like today.

They shook off their cheeks and ate so happily, and occasionally their mouths were free, and they would still praise them non-stop.

"Sister-in-law is simply too powerful, and this skill is too good!"

"That's right, that's right, Yu Chu is probably at this level!"

Li Laosi was extremely proud, "My daughter-in-law was born as an imperial cook in her ancestors, and the cyclists in the city come, you know? That is my elder brother's restaurant, where my daughter-in-law cooks private dishes, and there is only one table every five days. The reserved guests are all waiting for the next year!"

Everyone couldn't see him showing off like this, and he was a brother of life and death, so he didn't have to worry about anything and just complained.

"How many times have you said it, we can all know it by heart!"

"That's right, it's sister-in-law who is amazing, what does it have to do with you?!"

"Hmph, that's right, we thank sister-in-law, but we don't thank you!" Wei Erniu also added naively, causing Li Laosi to snatch the chicken leg from his hand and eat it in one bite.

Everyone was talking and joking, it was like a pot was boiling in the lively yard.

The village head uncle couldn't help feeling, "We were just like these boys when we were young. At that time, Old Zhao was the toughest. We wanted to beat him up every day. Now, he is really old!"

"Uncle is not old, let's not talk about anything else, in and out of our village, we all rely on him to help!" Li Laoer hurriedly changed the subject and asked about the village's trivial matters, "Uncle, the stone and wood are almost bought, Is it time to build a new house for the village boy?"

Li Laoer asked and poured wine for the village chief uncle.

The village head uncle nodded, and replied: "Uncle, if you don't come back today, I will ask you to talk about something. There are hundreds of guests in the hot spring valley every day, and they have to pass through the village when they enter and leave. This is not good. .

"In case that guest has evil intentions, we really can't guard against it. Look, should we open another road, bypassing our village, and go directly to Hot Spring Valley.

"Whenever a kid in our village gets married again, the new house will be built at the crossroads on the other side of the memorial archway. In this way, no matter who comes to visit or ask for trouble, he will not rush to the door of the house and someone will stop him first." stop, isn't it?"

These words reminded Li Laoer that the road leading to the hot spring valley passed through the village, and there were indeed hidden dangers.

There is no secrecy in the eyes of outsiders about what happens in the village, and it is easy for people to take advantage of it.

In addition, the children of each family are going to get married, and the townhouses are not very spacious, but they are even narrower after the wing rooms are built.

When several generations are crowded together, conflicts are unavoidable, and it is easy to cause quarrels and disagreements.

It would be a good idea to allocate young people to intersections and build a small village where they could guard both the intersection and the melon fields.

"Uncle is right. After eating like this, let's go to the intersection to see if there is any suitable place to build a house."

Li Lao Er agreed, which made the village chief smile and nod repeatedly.

Soon, everyone had enough to eat and drink, and it was time to part.

Li Yong also wanted to go to Wei's house for a wedding, but firstly, he had just arrived home for a while, and secondly, the child still had a low-grade fever, so he was worried.

So he called Hui Niang to go home to fetch two pieces of fabric, plus a silver ingot, which was regarded as his congratulatory gift, and asked Li Laosi to take it with him.

The soldiers got on their horses one after another, and the things prepared by the Li family were properly packed into baskets, distributed among a few prudent soldiers, and they set off.

Tao Hongying took people to clean up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, while Li Laoer and Li Laotai followed the village head to the archway to see the terrain.

Of course, Jiayin tugged on the sleeves of her adoptive father and skipped to the next door to whisper.

She cooked the fresh shrimp porridge for most of the morning, and it was brought over.

There were many people at the banquet, but they didn't eat much.

At this moment, the father and daughter were sitting under the eaves of the verandah chatting and drinking porridge slowly, both happy and happy.

"Fu Niuer, your second uncle said that you have been studying art with Dr. Zhang recently?" Master Hou asked.

Jiayin thought for a while, she probably couldn't hide the incident in the palace from her adoptive father, and she didn't want to hide it, so she said, "Yeah, before, I just wanted to recognize the medicinal materials with Grandpa Zhang, and I wanted to try some medicinal materials, especially It is the main medicinal material for those who make hemostatic drugs.

"Grandpa Zhang was idle at that time, and taught me a lot of tricks. I happened to be in the palace to deliver melons, and the third princess bullied me, so I pierced the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet, and she felt like killing a pig.

"After I came back, I told my second uncle, and my second uncle persuaded my grandma to let me learn more from Grandpa Zhang. Grandpa Zhang also promised to teach me well, but he wanted to study some weird prescriptions again. He thought I was wasting time and threw it away. A medical book asked me to recite..."

Jiayin was a little frustrated, pouted her mouth, and complained: "This old man is really immoral. He ate so many good things from our family and asked my second uncle to build him a yard, and then he thought it was troublesome to teach apprentices!"

Hou Ye heard it funny, rubbed her hair, gave her the shrimp in his bowl, and said: "Tomorrow I will go to Xindu with me for a day, and you don't have to worry about Doctor Zhang. The foster father has a way to let him Offer you up as an ancestor.

"Whatever you want to learn, he will teach! If you don't want to learn, he will chase you and beg you to learn!"

"Really?" Jiayin's eyes sparkled, she grinned and shouted, "Father is so amazing!"

"Hurry up and eat. After eating, go back and look for good-looking clothes and jewelry. Tomorrow, you will dress up beautifully and go to the city with your adoptive father. In addition, have you not taken care of the business of the Hou Mansion for a long time? Please sort out the account books and earn money. Give it to me. Half." Hou Ye's eyes were darkened.

He drank the porridge in his hand, put down the bowl, and said: "Among the soldiers who went out with me this time, more than 500 were killed, 600 were seriously injured, and more than [-] were slightly injured. Subsidize some privately."

Jiayin's heart tightened, and the porridge in her mouth suddenly tasted stale.

It wasn't that she felt sorry for Yinzi, but that she couldn't help but sigh and mourn.

She was very happy when her adoptive father and father returned in victory.

But in order to win, many people still stayed on the land of Jiangbei, or became disabled people like Grandpa Zhao and the others.

War has always been cruel, there is no beauty at all...

"Father, Second Uncle's Hundred Gardens was almost destroyed by bad guys before, and I have been looking for some nursing homes. If there are suitable ones among the wounded soldiers this time, please help Second Uncle choose some.

"There is also my uncle and his fleet going south. They often encounter water bandits and need guards. My uncle also needs to buy a yard in Quanzhou to take care of the family's business. There must be a shortage of manpower.

"It's really impossible, Zhengjiazhuang can keep more people. In a year or two, I will have a lot of work to help Zhengjiazhuang, and I need manpower..."

Jiayin said it a little anxiously, wishing that all the wounded soldiers could be resettled for a while, and she didn't want these heroes who shed blood and sacrificed for the country to shed tears for their helpless lives.

Hou Ye laughed when he heard it, the weight in his heart was slowly dispelled by the fat girl's eagerness...
