The second brother Li is also persuading, "Don't worry about the fourth child, this matter has been handed over to the Ministry of War for investigation, and the truth will definitely come to light.

"Speaking of which, it's just that you were unlucky, the soldier died suddenly at that time, just caught up with you to lead the training.

"You can live at home with peace of mind, and I'm in the city. It's just that during this period of time, I don't care about the trivial matters at home and in the village, so you can help me deal with them at home.

"It's New Year's Eve, so let me help my mother and younger siblings."

Li Laosi nodded, and quickly said: "Okay, the second brother can just go to work, I have family affairs."

"Hey, that's right!" Mrs. Li was very pleased to see her sons united.

She patted her youngest son on the shoulder, and said: "Listen to your second brother, take a good rest at home. It's time to go to war again in the spring of next year. This time you will spend the New Year at home safely."

Tao Hongying felt sorry for her husband just now, her eyes were red, now she hastily picked up her emotions and said: "Mother, there is someone working at home for the fourth child, let's soak some sticky rice tomorrow?

"The few sticky bean buns and fried slag cakes that were steamed last time, most of them were divided out, and the family didn't have enough to eat."

Jiayin also joined in the fun, ran to hug daddy's waist, and yelled: "Dad, take me to catch the house sparrow tomorrow, okay? My brother is not at home, no one will burn the house sparrow for me!"

"Okay!" Li Laosi rubbed his daughter's hair, and replied with a smile, "Father finds a big dustpan, picks ten or eight of them at a time, and then skewers them into a skewer for you to eat!"

Mrs. Li laughed and scolded, "I can't finish all the fat chickens at home, but I want to eat the roasted house sparrow full of bones, it's really making you and my father fart!

"Go ahead and play if you want, just be careful not to set firewood on fire!"

The family chatted and laughed, and quickly resolved the little depression in their hearts.

At this time, the village chief, Uncle Zhao, Liu Biaotou and others rushed over after hearing the news.

Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si talked with them, and Tao Hongying made arrangements for dinner, leaving the old men to eat something good.

The leg of lamb brought back by the Hou Mansion had been marinated for noon, and now it was roasted in the oven.

Then stew a small chicken and mushroom, a dried bean, potato and pork belly, stir-fry two simple side dishes, steam a large pot of snow-white rice, heat a basket of steamed buns, and dinner is ready.

Thinking that there were two pregnant women, Tao Hongying boiled chicken soup in an earthen pot, cooked small wontons, and fried salty cucumber with a little minced meat, which was the favorite of Mrs. Wen and Wenjuan.

Sure enough, when it was getting dark, Mr. Wen came over with Mrs. Wen supported.

Sister-in-law Qiong, who was following behind, carried a basket of two hundred eggs in her hand, and sent them directly into the kitchen.

Mrs. Li asked, "Are there still chickens laying eggs at this time of year?"

Mrs. Wen glanced at Mr. Wen, blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "My confinement period is after the new year, and the chickens didn't even lay eggs at that time. The brother was afraid that I would not have eggs to eat during the confinement period, so he took the little one from Zhuangzi. The chickens are locked in the greenhouse.

"Maybe it's not too cold, the chicks are still laying eggs. I saved [-], enough for Wenjuan and I to have confinement, and I will bring these for the family to eat on weekdays."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li was not polite, but smiled and said: "Mr. Wen really loves his wife, and such trivial things have been considered.

"We usually say that Jia Huan loves his daughter-in-law, but now it seems that even Mr. Wen can't reach half of it."

Tao Hongying smiled and said, "It's the end of the year, and the restaurant is too busy, otherwise Jiahuan would wish to stay at home and guard Wenjuan all day."

Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Wen asked: "Have you found a suitable pickle shop for Hongying?"

Tao Hongying was busy with her hands, but she shook her head and replied: "Not yet, I have read two, it is not to my liking."

Mrs. Wen said: "The day before yesterday, when I went out to socialize, I ran into Mrs. Jia Er, who said that she has a good sister and wanted to buy a grocery store. The location is very good.

"The house is free some other day, let's go for a walk in the city?"

"Okay," Tao Hongying said with a smile, "If it works, Mrs. Jia will be of great help. Next time she comes over, I will cook two delicious dishes to thank her."

Just when they were joking, Zheng He ran in from the outside, all the way to the main room.

Everyone was puzzled, and after a while, Li Laosi came out, walked to the door of the kitchen and said, "Fu Niuer, Lao Hei and the others are back.

"Xu was worried that this trip was to collect the bones, so he was very gloomy, so he didn't come over to salute, and just reported a letter at the entrance of the village and went back."

Jiayin hurriedly said: "Father, do you want to go there? Help me tell Uncle Hei and them to take a good rest and talk about it tomorrow.

"Help me tell Aunt Xiaocui to arrange food and wine for Old Hei and the others so that they can eat and drink well."

"Understood, I'll go there, you don't have to wait for me to eat." Li Laosi waved his hand and left.

In the second village, because of the return of Lao Hei and others, it was also very lively.

They are all brothers who came down from the battlefield, and no one has a few lives in their hands, so no one is taboo about yin.

So, Lao Hei's row room is now full of people.

Old Hei and the others simply washed away the dust, and then sat on the hot kang, chatting with the old brothers.

They even took out the wolf and mink furs they hunted in the mountains to show off, making everyone envious.

Xiao Cui brought a few women with her, all of whom were quick in their hands and feet.

When Li Laosi came over, the food had already been served on the table.

Everyone hurriedly went down to the ground to salute Li Laosi. Li Laosi took off his shoes and went to the kang, called Lao Hei and others to sit together, and asked about the situation in the north while eating.

Seeing him like this, everyone lost their restraint and said what came to mind.

Especially after drinking a few bowls of wine, the room became even more lively.

Although Guo Wenhao is young, he has endured a lot of hardships and has studied with Mr. Wen for so long, so he is very considerate in his actions.

This time, he went north to get the bones and went deep into the forest. Lao Hei and others did their best, and he was also generous.

In the afternoon, the bones were transported to Guojiazhuangzi, and Guo Wenhao directly settled the commission and doubled it.

Lao Hei and the others each earned 20 taels, plus what they earned from going to Yunzhou Mansion before, almost everyone has a net worth of 60 taels.

Don't underestimate this little money.

This is enough for a family of three to live for five or six years, or to marry a daughter-in-law in a prosperous way.

Everyone was half drunk, so they joked about introducing their daughter-in-law to Lao Hei and others.

Lao Hei and the others were used to being free, and they didn't want to be tied down by their wives and children for the time being, so they quickly waved their hands and refused.

Although everyone was booing, it was just a joke, so naturally they would not force them.

But some people couldn't understand the wink, and they really moved their minds.

This person was either someone else, or the little daughter-in-law who baked clothes in the workshop, and she was also the one who disliked the Li family's rewards for being too thin when they first moved here.

Her husband's surname is Kong, and his name is Kong Qinghe, so everyone calls her Mrs. Kong.

This sister-in-law of Kong's natal family has a younger sister who is mean and over-the-top. She is eighteen this year and has not yet found her husband's family.

Although Lao Hei and the others are almost [-] years old, they have earned a lot of money, so the princess should use it again!

Sister-in-law Kong thought that if she could find a brother-in-law, not only would her sister live well, but she would also be blessed...
