Chapter 471： return

The latest website: The old man shook his head like a rattle. He couldn't stand it after standing for a while. He paced back and forth. Let the big brother who is anti-freezing bear the wind and snow.

Zhou Yong glanced at him, "If you don't experience wind and snow, you won't grow into a big tree, and you won't be able to make steel without being refined."

"I'm still young, I can bear it when I grow up!"

"You can't teach a child! You can't carve a dead wood! Come back, come back."

After reciting a sour poem, Zhou Yong waved to them and told Qingsong, "You can pick me up in the afternoon, or Ding Bo can come, remember that you'd rather be early than late."

Qingsong said with a smile: "You can rest assured, young master, you will not be allowed to stand too much."

"That's good, it's very cold, you all go back first, I'll go back and continue to stand."

In the evening, the wind was louder, whistling, the streets were empty, the hawkers all closed their stalls and went back, and there were not many pedestrians.

The weather was bad, and the people didn't like to stay outside, so they all went home early for dinner.

Zhou Yong has been listening with his ears perverted, his eyes staring, why is the bell on the tower still not ringing? Why hasn't Qingsong come yet?

He waited for a long time before he saw a carriage approaching quickly.

Overjoyed, this is his carriage, right? It's almost time?

I can finally get off work!

The other soldiers in the city were also happy. The carriages from Brother Zhou's family came to pick him up, so it was almost time.

The cold weather is too hard to bear. Today is finally coming to an end, the New Year is approaching, and the day of receiving the monthly salary is coming soon.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, in previous years, the imperial court will issue annual gifts according to official positions.

Although they were only guards at the city gate, they could also take two kilograms of rice noodles, one kilogram of pork, and half a piece of coarse cloth.

For their soldiers at the bottom, it is also an income. The court is still very human, and it is also due to the good weather in the past few years.

There is still a war in the south this year, so I don’t know if the annual ceremony will be reduced.

Watching Qingsong rushing to the front of the car, Zhou Yong grinned and asked expectantly, "Isn't it almost time?"

"The little man looked at the hourglass and set off two quarters ahead of time. The road was empty and there were no people. The carriage was going faster. The young master should have to wait for a while."

"Okay, then I'll wait, it's not too short of a while."

Zhou Yong stomped his feet in place, slowed down his stiff feet, and waited patiently for a while.

He jumped up happily until he heard the bell on the tower rang, "It's finally time."

He waved at the others, "I'll be back first, see you tomorrow."

After they finished speaking, they got on the carriage and got into the carriage to take off their armor.

This thing, cold, really uncomfortable to wear.

After taking off his armor, he put the cloak back on again, took the small quilt on the side, spread it over his knees, and held the hand warmer on the seat in his hand.

I thought to myself: these two must be prepared by my mother, my mother thought really thoughtful.

He was a little excited last night and couldn't sleep, but this morning he got up too early again, and he was a little drowsy now that the carriage was shaking.

In the car, the wind can't blow, and holding the hand warmer, my body is much warmer.

It is indeed a bit tiring to stand for a day, and it is okay to squint for a while.

He followed his heart with confidence and fell asleep with his eyes closed. Qingsong would wake him up when he got home anyway.

When he got out of the car sleepily, and entered the house with a tired face, what greeted him was not the soft words of his mother, but the sweet words of the naughty bag Mai.

As soon as he saw him entering the house, he ran up to hug his calf, tried to climb up, but couldn't, pulled his pants for a long time, and finally sat directly on his instep.

Then he bombarded with sweet words, "Brother, you're finally back. Mai misses you so much. I miss you. Do you miss me? Where have you been today?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to complain, "The second brother and the third brother are bad. They have been hiding in the house and never playing with me."

Zhou Yong was prepared long before she rushed up, and he tightened his pants so that she was not dragged down.

Hearing her coquettish and complaining, I helplessly picked her up, let her hang on her body, and said as she walked, "I think, you are so cute, how could I miss you. Your second brother and third brother are too naive to hug her. Move you, so I have no face to play with you."

The second child was a little embarrassed when he heard it, but he really couldn't hold her.

The third child shouted: "I want to study, I don't have time to play with her puppets."

"Reading? Watching "Stranger Things"?"

The third child replied with a guilty conscience: "There is also reading."

Pei Xiu didn't break him, smiled and asked the boss to put the wheat down, and then ordered someone to pass the dishes.

"Your eldest brother just came back from business and is already very tired. Don't hang on him, come down and eat first."

"It's okay, just hug for a while."

Zhou Yong said as he walked to the dining table next to him, put her directly in her place, and patted her on the head, "Eat first."

She nodded obediently.

After Pei Xiu sat down, she put on a homemade rice dress for her, and then she was relieved to let her eat for a while.

He turned his head and asked Zhou Yong, "Are you tired after standing all day today? Did anything special happen?"

"It's nothing special, it's quite boring. I've been standing there watching the people passing by. Some are in a hurry, some are frowning, and some are beaming. It's not interesting to watch too much."

"It's just that the legs are sore and cold after standing for a long time. The whole person is frozen and almost unconscious. Fortunately, there is chicken soup in the middle to prolong life."

Pei Xiu nodded. Now is a peaceful and prosperous age, and the people are just worrying about tea, rice, oil and salt, and rushing to make a living.

Nothing special happened, or special people came in and out of the city, guarding the city gate all day long and watching the people passing by, it was really boring.

"It's only half a month, stick to it, and ask the kitchen to send you a pot of **** water after you finish your meal. It will be better if you soak your feet before you fall asleep. You are still young, but you can't freeze and get the root of the disease. "

"The kang has already been set up today. You can all sleep well tonight, and you don't have to wake up from the cold."

She also thinks that sleeping on a kang is more comfortable than sleeping on a bed in winter, and there will be no sound when turning over~ Good mother, you have to bring a pot of hot soup and steamed buns tomorrow, your eldest son will rely on It held up. "

Zhou Yong devoured the food in front of him and did not forget to warn him.

Pei Xiu gave him a few chopsticks of the dish and asked him to eat it slowly, and asked, "Do you want to deliver it earlier tomorrow, and then deliver another pot later?"

"No, just send it back at noon. If you don't have enough people to swallow an elephant, you can treat them to two steamed buns a day and a hot soup."

"If I deliver hot soup twice a day, I will leave in half a month. With the gap, it will be more difficult for them to endure."

"I used to have a break at noon, and they would also go to the nearby tea house to take turns drinking a bowl of hot tea to warm their bodies. Now they just eat our food, which is better. When I leave, they will not go to the tea house to drink hot tea. Not used to it."

"Moreover, there are a lot of people who go out of the city to go home in the future. It is not suitable to send food at that point. It is good at noon."
