Chapter 1056 Commander Tang's Successful Evacuation [2]
Therefore, after the three of them completed the handover and waited for the troops of Zhong Ling's second division to take over the outposts and the camp, Captain Tang bid farewell to everyone in Taifeng Town on the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and set off on horseback with his soldiers.
The villagers were reluctant to part with them, and after hearing the news, they rushed to see them off.
"Captain Tang, are you really leaving? Stay for another half a year or a year. If you leave, who will help us stop the evildoers from other towns?!"
Zhong Ling and his two captains are standing guard at the sentry post. Can you please stop lying with your eyes open?
"Captain Tang, these are some local specialties we're giving you. They're dried vegetables, cabbage, pickled cabbage, and so on. They're not worth much. Please accept them and let the soldiers use them to make dumplings during the New Year!"
The villagers stuffed things into Tang Baihu's pockets, and he was quite touched.
"Captain Tang, I have several good marriages here, and they are most suitable for your family. You..." The old men and women seized the last chance to matchmake for Captain Tang.
The feeling of being moved vanished, and Captain Tang's face darkened... I've told you so many times that I already have a family, but you just won't listen.
It's okay if you don't listen, but at least look at my old face! With a face like mine, how could I not be married?!
"Let's go!" Captain Tang gave the order and rode away hurriedly.
"Captain Tang, whether you have time or not, remember to come back often!"
"May Captain Tang receive another mission to help us with defense!"
Don't bless us, we are afraid.
Ta-da-da, Captain Tang's horse ran faster.
The villagers were very enthusiastic and chased him for half a mile, which made Captain Tang think that the villagers were not there to see him off but to chase him, so he wanted to stop and fight back.
Fortunately, the weather was cold and the wind was howling. No matter how strong the villagers' affection was, it only lasted half a mile. They all returned to the town and continued to make final preparations for the New Year and winter.
After seeing off Captain Tang and his companions, the Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families gathered at Grandpa Qin's house and began to prepare New Year's food.
Qin Xiaomi: "Grandma, we can just make some sugar melons here, and let the servants prepare the other New Year goods in the workshop and canteen. We can also take a good rest. We have made so much money, and we still have to make New Year goods by ourselves. It's so tiring."
Before Grandma Qin could say anything, Auntie Qin Liu shouted, "What do you know, little girl? If you don't make New Year's goods for the New Year, how can you expect a prosperous and lively new year? Is this making New Year's goods? This is accumulating blessings for the new year!"
Qin Xiaomi chuckled and said to the other families, "Everyone has heard what Grandma Liu said. They are all watching Grandma Liu prepare the New Year's goods themselves. We can't let her just tell others to do things while she's lazy!"
Qin Liupo was choked... The dead girl was too vicious. With just one sentence, she blocked her way of ordering her two daughters-in-law to do work.
"Fifth sister-in-law, please take care of Xiaomi!" Qin Liupo was superstitious, so she wanted to make trouble. Fortunately, in the first year after the daughters-in-law came into the family, she was superior to the sons-in-law. Seeing that Qin Xiaomi was doing trouble again, she was so anxious that she called Grandma Qin to help speak.
"Ahhh~" Little Yunping, who is more than four months old, was very excited to see how lively it was here. His big eyes rolled around and he looked around curiously. He waved his little hands and shouted, he was so happy and excited.
Grandma Qin was attracted by little Yunping and teased him: "Hey, darling, you are so cheerful, you know the New Year is coming soon."
He then said to Qin Eryong's wife, "Just hold the child and watch the fun today. Don't help. The child is the most important."
"Li Zi, you're in your advanced stage now, so you need to be more careful."
Xiao Fubao said, "Don't worry, Grandma Qin Wu, I will protect Xiao Lubao and Xiao Yunping!"
"Hehe, good, our Fubao has grown up and is a capable little brother now." Grandma Qin smiled and then asked Xu Azheng's mother to set out the food: "Come and have some eight-treasure porridge to warm yourselves up before you get back to work."
"This eight-treasure porridge contains red dates, longan, and other ingredients that can warm and nourish the body. Adults and children should drink more of it... Others can add sugar, but Eryong's wife and Lizi, please don't add sugar. Eating too much sugar is not good for the children."
Grandma Qin attached great importance to the fact that several families were preparing New Year's goods together, so she prepared a lot of food for them. She had started cooking the eight-treasure porridge last night and it was cooked until it was very mushy.
"Yes." Qin Eryong's wife and Qiao Lizi responded, took the eight-treasure porridge handed over by Aunt Xu, and started eating first. Qin Liupo drank a few mouthfuls of eight-treasure porridge, then ran to the kitchen, ladled herself a bowl of mutton offal soup, added a large piece of mutton to it, and brought it to the front to eat.
Han Wanniang and Lu Jiu were both dumbfounded. Their mother-in-law really thought of herself as a bandit. She actually ate a piece of mutton as big as half a palm.
No kidding, this is the amount of meat that an ordinary farmer with little income would eat during the New Year, but my mother-in-law ate so much meat by herself, and she ate it from five of my cousins’ families!
It is right to deduct dividends, otherwise how can I make up for the hole eaten by my mother-in-law?
"What are you two looking at? Go eat your eight-treasure porridge quickly so you can get back to work. This is your first year helping with the New Year's shopping, so you have to work hard. If you slack off and cause our family to lose our dividends, I'll use your dowries to make up for it!"
Ah this?
Several families looked at you with a frown... You're the one who made the most mistakes, and you still have the nerve to warn your daughter-in-law? You're truly clueless and shameless.
Han Wanniang had long experienced her mother-in-law's shamelessness, but at this moment, there was still shock in her eyes: Mother-in-law, you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that you will be caught and beaten to death by your relatives?
Fortunately, Lu Jiu was very good at handling this situation and immediately responded meekly: "Hey, don't worry, mother-in-law, my second brother and sister-in-law will remember this. We will definitely work harder today so that my aunt and sister-in-law will have less work to do."
After saying this, she called Han Wanniang and the two sisters-in-law to go and get some eight-treasure porridge.
"Well, Fifth Aunt, your eight-treasure porridge is delicious." Han Wanniang praised sincerely.
Lu Jiu was impressed by the generosity of his fifth uncle's family. They used such delicious food to entertain their families and let them eat as much as they wanted. How much food must have been eaten?
Grandma Qin smiled. After everyone finished eating, Grandpa Qin brought the men from several families and brought back all the processed ingredients from the herbal medicine shop.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
The car bell rang at the back door of the house, and Grandpa Qin called out: "Old lady, the ingredients are here, we can start making New Year's goods!"
"Hey, here we come." Grandma Qin took the women to the backyard, got the ingredients, and started working.
The sound of chopping meat; the sound of pounding steamed yellow rice; the sizzling sound of frying meatballs, and the sizzling sound of stretching sugar strips to make sugar melons.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Little Yunping was so excited that he kept asking Qin Eryong's wife to hold him. He stood in front of the window of the wing room and watched several families preparing New Year's goods in the small courtyard at the back house.
Qin Eryong's wife's hands were sore from holding him. When she wanted to put him on the stove bed, he started crying loudly. She had to pick him up and let him see the scene in the yard before she would be happy.
He also needs acquaintances to interact with him.
If Grandma Qin, Xiao Fubao and others didn't come to tease him for a long time, he would get anxious and growl or cry loudly.
Only after Grandma Qin and the others came to tease him did he feel satisfied and continued to coo as he watched everyone prepare New Year's goods.
Grandma Qin praised him: "You are very smart. You will definitely have a bright future."
Qin Eryong's wife didn't expect Xiao Yunping to be anything special; she only wished for him to live a peaceful and healthy life.
But she smiled again and said, "This kid's greatest achievement is that he can reincarnate and choose the right time to come to our Qin family."
This made everyone smile and nod.
Little Yunping didn't know what everyone was laughing at, but when he heard the laughter, he also grinned and shouted "ah ah".
After being excited for a long time, I finally fell into a deep sleep in the afternoon due to exhaustion.
Grandma Qin came over and touched his chubby face, which was red from sleep. She turned around and packed two food boxes and handed them to Qin Xiaomai and Jiang Erlang: "Take them to the Guan family and let Mrs. Guan and your uncle and aunt have a taste."
