A good little husband

Chapter 40 Shredded Potatoes

On New Year's Eve, the shopkeeper had to go home for a reunion dinner. He told Lin Wanxia that he could close the shop at night and have a good rest.

"I'm fine. To put it bluntly, in case someone has a headache at home, I'll help you out. Don't worry about me." Lin Wanxia sent the shopkeeper out, then lit the lamp, Waiting to read medical books.

The dim light accompanied him until he arrived at the house, and there was a sound of firecrackers on the street. He pulled his lips and smiled to himself. Just as he was about to go to the back to rest, he heard a knock on the door.

Lin Wanxia pushed open the door and smelled a strong smell of blood. The two tall men in front of him had deep brows and eyes: "My brother is injured, can you please bandage him?"

The man's voice was low and hoarse, but what he said was an authentic Yunxi accent, Lin Wanxia felt relieved: "Come in with me."

Lin Wanxia quickly found the medicine to stop the bleeding, washed the clotted blood on the man's wound with water, and applied herbal medicine. His movements were very skilled, and the bandage was fast and well.

These two men are too strange. They must not be good people when they went to the pharmacy to bandage their wounds on New Year's Eve.

The light of the oil lamp was very dim, and he couldn't see the faces of the two people clearly, and he didn't dare to ask their origins, so he could only think of dealing with them as soon as possible and let them go as soon as possible.

"Thank you, this is the consultation fee." The man threw a silver coin to Lin Wanxia, ​​and helped the injured man to leave.

Lin Wanxia smelled the smell of blood all over the room, and her heart skipped a beat. After all, Yunxi is on the border with the barbarians, and she should be more careful when something unusual happens.

After the two brothers left the pharmacy, they turned around and went to another private house. After lighting the lamp, the uninjured one pointed at the injured one and scolded: "Obviously we can sneak in silently, but you insist on doing it. You even hurt yourself, if you miss the king's business, how many heads are you enough to chop off?"

Of these two people, the one who was injured was named Gu Sidu, and the one who was not injured was named Usir. They were a pair of twin brothers, and they were the right-hand men of the barbarian king.

Gu Si didn't care at all: "I just want to kill a few soldiers from Dayue to let them know that our barbarians are not easy to bully!"

"When will you change your temper!" Usir sat for a while, then pulled out a knife from under the bed, and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Gu Sidu.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'll go and kill the person in the pharmacy." Usr replied, "It's never a good thing to leave a clue."

"Don't, I think that's a brother. Why kill him? Why don't you take him back?" Gu Si thought of the brother who approached him just now, with a slight medicinal fragrance on his body. The taste is much more fragrant.

Usir immediately refused: "Don't forget that we are here to do business!"

"Anyway, our two brothers look exactly like their Dai Viet people, and they can speak Yunxi dialect. Why don't we stay here for a while. If there are local people to help, it will be easier to get the information we want to know. Yet?"

Usir thought for a while, and finally sat down beside him: "Tell me what you think."

The year passed quickly, and Suiyu basically had no sense of participation, because he was basically lying down, and his whole body recovered after three or four days, but the year had already passed.

Lin Muqing didn't know what to do these days, and often pulled Lin Ping and Xiang Zhi to say something in the main room at home, but the expressions of several people were very serious. Suiyu found that the atmosphere in the village was also a little more tense, and he suddenly Recalling what Lin Muqing said before, Yunxi bordered the barbarians, and it was said that there was a foreign invasion.

His heart was also a little flustered, and now it was like a huge undercurrent, and the slightest movement would make the waves turbulent.

Others in the village are not very aware of the current undercurrent, and they are in the aftertaste of the year every day.

Suiyu and Yunxiu get together to watch Yunxiu embroider. Her embroidery is recognized as good in the whole village. At the moment, Xipa, who is holding a piece of red cloth and embroidering mandarin ducks, is their elder brother. Qian Yu is going to get married, and he is marrying the young owner of the restaurant in the town, so it can be said that he is in the limelight in the town for a while.

"As my sister-in-law, I have nothing else to give him, so I embroidered a hipa for him." Her movements were so fast that Suiyu couldn't see clearly.

Qian Yu came in at this time, saw the hipa in Yunxiu's hand, and smiled dazedly: "I knew my sister-in-law was the best for me."

Sure enough, he was the one who was going to hold a wedding, his whole body was surrounded by a layer of joy, and even the freckles on both sides looked lively and cute.

"Come on." Yunxiu pushed him away, "You're about to get married, you run around all over the mountains every day, and you secretly go to meet the groom's official, be careful if dad finds out and beats you."

"If you don't tell him, he won't know."

The village is too far away from the town, the young couple can only look at the trees on the mountainside, and watch the sunset when there is a sunset.

"The banquet will be held in their restaurant, and you all have to come." Qian Yu didn't have the shyness of a new husband at all, and talked about his marriage in an open and easy manner.

"By the way, Brother Suiyu, their family needs to write some invitations because they opened a restaurant. Can you write invitations for me? The handwriting in his accountant's house is not good. You can write that Spring Festival couplet during the New Year."

Qian Yu actually has a little selfishness, he can see that Brother Qing treats Suiyu very well, and he hopes that he can also enjoy some of his blessings.

"Okay, as long as you don't dislike me."

Suiyu went out for a trip, but returned home with a lot of wedding invitations.

"What is this?" Lin Muqing glanced at the pile of red paper, "Where did you come back from?"

"It's Qian Yu, he wants to get married, and he asked me to help write the invitation." Suiyu occupied Lin Muqing's desk and wrote earnestly, stroke by stroke.

Lin Muqing said: "Don't stay up too late at night, when you finish writing, you count."

"Are you going out tonight?"

Lin Muqing nodded: "Go to town."

Suiyu didn't ask him what he was doing, and that was not something he should worry about, but when Lin Muqing was about to leave, he packed Suiyu and carried him back to the room.

"What are you doing!" Suiyu bit his arm.

"It's been seven days, it's time to get better!"

Suiyu's face flushed: "You rascal!"

In the end, when Lin Muqing left, Suiyu didn't know anything, but felt that the quilt was a little cold today, so he hugged the quilt tighter.

"Brother Qing, what's going on? Why do you want so much money recently?" Lin Muqing brought Lin Ping and Xiang Zhi together at the blacksmith's shop in the town.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, every iron shop has a record in the yamen, and the pig iron used every time is also counted in the yamen.

"I suspect that there will be chaos in Yunxi." Lin Muqing's intuition has always been accurate, "We must plan ahead."

"Our place is so far away from Yunxi, even if there is chaos, it won't come to our place." Lin Ping scratched his head, "Do we really need to make preparations so early?"

"It's always good to be careful." Lin Muqing raised his head and asked A Niu, the owner of the iron shop, "How much more can you make?"

"I don't get too much pig iron this month, at most fifty handles, and I have to pay for other things." A Niu said, "Brother Qing, shall I start making it tomorrow?"

Lin Muqing nodded, and took them to check every road that could enter the stockade, and returned to the stockade at dawn.

Suiyu hadn't gotten up yet, and he didn't think about waking Suiyu up at this moment, so he went into the kitchen and started cooking the morning meal.

It was too late to steam the steamed buns, so he baked pancakes, cooked porridge, and fried potato shreds. He was picky about food, and he loved vinegared potato shreds. Every time he had this dish, he could eat half a bowl of rice more.

Lin Hua also got up very early. He usually went to the chicken shed behind to feed the chickens and collect eggs. If Lin Muqing was not around, he would light a fire and cook porridge.

"Brother, why did you get up so early today?" Lin Hua rubbed his eyes and saw Lin Muqing who was cooking.

"I just came back." Lin Muqing mixed the chicken feed with him. He fed the chickens, and Lin Hua went into the chicken shed to pick up eggs.

"Lin Hua, do you remember what I told you about the tunnel at home where people can hide?" Lin Muqing asked.

"Remember, under the fifth brick in the center of the yard, this tunnel can lead to the former residence of the old village owner in the back mountain." Lin Hua answered him while lying down to pick up eggs, "Brother, why are you asking this?"

"I just remind you." Lin Muqing took the egg from his hand and put it away, "Don't forget, do you still know how to open it?"

"Well, remember."

After finishing what was supposed to be done, Lin Muqing put all the meals on the table, and Chunniang also got up, and laughed when she saw that the house was in order: "Xiao Yuer hasn't gotten up yet?"

"No, it's okay to let him sleep more." Lin Muqing said.

Chun Niang paused, then said, "You should also pay attention."

Everyone knows what to pay attention to.

"Lin Hua, I'll deliver food to your sister-in-law in a while, and I'll go to Lin Ping's house." Lin Muqing ate his meal, and he had to ask Lin Ping to remind everyone in the village what he had just told Lin Hua.

Suiyu slept until the sunlight came into the room, and then slowly woke up. When she woke up, she scolded Lin Muqing countless times, and just after getting dressed, she heard Lin Hua knock on the door: "Sister-in-law, eat."

He got out of bed and opened the door very slowly, and smiled when he saw Lin Hua: "Didn't your brother come back?"

"Come back to cook dinner and then go out." Lin Hua put the rice on the table, watching Suiyu go out to wash up and come back, he just felt that his sister-in-law was walking too slowly.

Lin Hua stayed by his side during the meal, reciting poems in the twilight of the morning light, and what he recited was the song "Compassion for Farmers" that enlightens all children.

While he was reciting poems, Suiyu ate up half-pan cakes, a bowl of porridge, and a plate of shredded potatoes.

"sister in law."

"Yeah." Suiyu responded.

"Why is your voice hoarse?" Lin Hua felt that something was wrong, thinking that Suiyu was sick, "I'll go find my brother and come back."

Suiyu smiled embarrassingly: "It's not sick, you told your brother that the ends of the shredded potatoes he fried were pointed and scratched my throat."

Lin Hua groaned: "Why? It was fine when we ate it in the morning?" As he spoke, he remembered that his sister-in-law was more delicate than ordinary people, and it seemed normal to dislike shredded potatoes that were cut thinly. Thinking, his brother's knife skills are really good, even shredded potatoes can hurt people.
