Chapter 317： Birdman on horseback

Chapter 317 Birdman on Horseback

After having lunch and chatting a few more words, Li Laosi and Li Yong each carried a large wicker basket and set off on the road to the military camp.

Two hand-width cloth bags were added to the wicker basket so that it would not strain the shoulders when carried.

The basket is lined with several layers of cotton cloth, which is breathable and heat-insulating, and will prevent the buns from getting wet due to stacking together.

The two of them were riding horses and running, and the heat radiating from behind them was like white wings, making them very happy.

Everyone was standing at the entrance of the village to see each other off, feeling a bit reluctant and sad. Seeing this, they couldn't help but laugh.

“Why do they look like two birdmen on horses?”

“Haha, I want to say this too!”

“I hope the buns haven’t cooled down yet when we get to the camp.”

“Don’t worry if it gets cold, it’s much warmer this time of year.”

Everyone said a few words and then dispersed to get busy.

Li Laoer didn't want to delay the children's class tomorrow, so he asked his mother to go to the city immediately.

Mrs. Li didn't stop her and said Zhang Luo, "Go to Mr. Wen's place first and bring some pig meat and meat buns to Mr. Wen and Wen Hai. I'm afraid they don't cook often, so they always have to deal with it. Eat."

Soon, the pork was tied with hemp rope and the food was packed. Mrs. Cui asked Sister-in-law Qiong to bring two cloth bags, one large and one small.

The old lady smiled and helped divide it, and then gave her son a few careful instructions.

The carriage at home was hitched, and Jia An and his family were excited to go to the city to play together. Li Laoer simply hugged the cat brother, and for a while, Jiayin was the only child left in the family.

It's not that Li Laoer doesn't love his niece, it's just that her niece is too young for a grown man to take care of.

Fortunately, Jiayin was thinking about accompanying her mother, so she obediently accepted her second uncle's promise to buy snacks, and sent them off with her little hand.

Tao Hongying had red circles under her eyes. She really couldn't let go of her husband, but there was a lot of work at home and her daughter was always following her, so she had no time to feel sad.

Besides, Li Laoer took his nephews into the city and unexpectedly met the Liu family's carriage at the city gate.

Liu Zhiheng had just returned from Xianhe Town. He heard that Li Laoer was going to find Mr. Wen, so he handed the basket Li Laoer brought to Chang Sui.

“Tell Madam, I will also go see Mr. Wen and come home in the evening.”

After saying that, he changed into the Li family's carriage and left together.

Chang Sui was left with a wry smile. The eldest man hadn’t come back for half a month. The eldest wife was at home and didn’t know how to look forward to it. As a result, she couldn’t even enter the house!

The plan for the year begins with spring. At this time of year, whether it is the common people or the imperial court, the most important thing is the upcoming spring sowing.

Even the most diligent censor kept his mouth shut at this time and did not dare to speak at will, for fear of causing trouble and disturbing such an important moment.

Therefore, after attending court in the morning, there were almost no people at the Yushitai in the afternoon. From Shangguan to petty officials, they all fished together.

Mr. Wen is also studying and writing at home at the moment. The books were sent from Luo'an College.

Jiaren was a very attentive child. Even after copying a copy of the Guo family's books and leaving them in the college, he did not stop writing and continued copying while reading. Then he sent the extra copy to the small courtyard.

Mr. Wen understood that this was the disciple's concern, fearing that he would be sad because he was kicked out of his family when he was free.

He simply filled the book with his thoughts every day and asked Wen Hai to give it to Jiaren after he finished writing it. Although the teachers and students have not seen each other for a long time, they are closely connected in this way.

Mr. Wen was really surprised and happy when he suddenly saw Li Laoer and Liu Zhiheng coming to the door with their three children.

"Why are you here free? Aren't you busy at home?"

Li Zhiheng waved his hand, "I met Mr. Er at the city gate and came over together."

Li Laoer also smiled and said, "We killed a pig today, and my mother asked me to give you a piece of pork to eat freshly."

Wen Hai took the things and saw that the pork chops and steamed buns were still warm, so he smiled and said, "It's great that Mr. Second is here. What should Mr. and I worry about eating? My cooking skills are so bad. I have to practice." After such a long time, the porridge is the best.”

Everyone laughed and quickly helped set the table.

Liu Zhiheng didn't eat either, so he simply followed.

Li Laoer drank tea and talked with Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen.

Wen Hai took two buns and took a few children to play in the alley.

Li Laoer picked up his purse and handed it to him, "Brother Hai, these guys want to buy sheepskin balls. If you know where they can buy them, take them for a walk. There is one more thing, if you can help me ask a few questions. That’s even better.”

Wen Hai took the purse and said with a smile, "Second sir, just ask."

Li Laoer briefly talked about what happened in the valley today. Wen Hai took the order and quickly took the three boys out.

Liu Zhiheng gnawed on the buns and said, "There are so many people coming and going in your valley. I am stealing someone's business and giving you eye drops behind your back."

Mr. Wen nodded, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the restaurants in the city."

Liu Zhiheng shook his head, "I think it has more to do with the flower-viewing villas outside the city. You must know that they also attract customers with their scenery. Their business was originally very good, but after the Broken Gold Beach was established, it was greatly reduced. I have seen this year The orchards in Ruijintan are about to bloom again. Many of the literati in the city have talked about it, which has made them anxious, right? "

“That’s all, we’ll know everything when Wen Hai comes back. Let’s eat. This pig-killing dish is really delicious, and your traditional craftsmanship in the North is authentic. I’ve eaten it twice in restaurants in the city, and it tastes weird.”

“Yeah, why did the family think of killing pigs again? It’s not the New Year or the festival?” Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen asked about things in the village while eating.

Li Laoer said, "This fat pig is dishonest. He jumped over the wall and fell half to death, so we have to kill him. It happened that Lao Si and Li Yong came back from the military camp and gave them a good meal and carried more than 200 steamed buns. gone."

“Lao Si and Li Yong are back? They seldom have good food. How is the dock? Is the training hard?”

Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng are half of the village, so they also know a little about Mr. Yan becoming a soldier under a pseudonym. At this time, they said, "I heard that the Yan family is in serious trouble and is looking for people everywhere. Li Yong is also bold. It would be troublesome if it was discovered.”

Li Laoer smiled and said, "Lao Si and the others came back before dawn in the morning, and left after lunch. They didn't meet any outsiders, so they were not afraid of being discovered. Lao Si and Li Yong are both much stronger, especially Li Yong. , I’m afraid my mother won’t be able to recognize him in front of him.”

"Oh, that's it. The army really trains people. The Marquis also has a good way of leading troops. The soldiers who are also guarding the riverside are like tigers in the hands of the Marquis. They are evenly matched against the barbarians. In the hands of Dingbei Marquis, They are losing ground here." Liu Zhiheng couldn't help complaining, looking down on Dingbei Hou.

Mr. Wen also nodded, "Every time there is a war, the Marquis takes the lead and kills the enemy bravely. But the Dingbei Marquis hides behind the generals for fear of being hurt by the barbarians and causing low morale. How can he win the battle?"

While they were chatting and laughing, they finished their meal, put away the bowls and chopsticks, changed the tea and water, and waited for Wen Hai to come back.

Wen Hai didn't waste any time and came back with the children less than an hour after leaving.

Three more, Baozi moved to make a fortune, ordered a five -star praise and good -looking, encouraging the holidays that are still working **** code words ~~~
