I was a young master in ancient times

A year after Ankang left, Song Shitou recognized most of the characters.

Although the writing is not good-looking, it is not illiterate after all.

He took the four liang of silver he saved and the three liang of silver that the military camp gave him as compensation, and set foot on his way home.

Along with him are Jin Xiaosan and Sun Wulang.

They hired a bullock cart and drove home slowly in the only clothes they had.

Sun Wulang, Song Shitou, and Jin Xiaosan were not on the same road. If he went back by himself, he might not be able to reach his hometown in a year or so.

Together, Song Shitou and Jin Xiaosan decided to send Sun Wulang home together.

After the ox cart wandered around for a whole month, Song Shitou finally returned to Songjiazhuang.

Stepping on the moonlight, looking for the road in memory, Song Shitou was surprised to find that the dilapidated mud house at home had been replaced by a bright tile house and a rather large yard.

He knocked on the courtyard door anxiously, startling the dogs in the courtyard and barking "Wow, woof, woof".

Song Laoniu put on his clothes, gently opened the courtyard door a gap, and looked at the people outside vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?"

Song Shitou's empty left arm sleeve was tied into his belt. He licked his dry lips and said, "Father. I am Shishi. I'm back."

Song Laoniu was taken aback, and under the moonlight, carefully looked at the person in front of him.The armless left sleeve made him tremble.He asked tremblingly, "Stone, where's your arm?"

"They were cut down during the war."

Song Shitou returned home, startling everyone in the family.

Shi Niang shed tears while cooking noodles.He knew Song Shitou was missing an arm a long time ago, and when he really saw it, he felt uncomfortable, as uncomfortable as a needle prick.

An egg lay on top of the noodles served on the table.

The little nephew, who has not yet fallen asleep, wants eggs greedily.

My younger brother and sister Meiying coaxed, "The ground egg, this is uncle's. Tomorrow morning, mother will boil eggs for you to eat."

"Grandma, grandma, I want to eat eggs." Didan acted like a baby at Shitou Niang again.

Song Shitou quickly picked up the egg and fed it to Didan.

Shitou cleared out the small room where the sundries were kept, and spread thick straw.

Song Shitou just slept on the straw all night.

On the second day, Song Shitou didn't wake up until the sun was three poles high.

Wearing sour clothes, he stretched vigorously in the yard.

Didan was digging holes in the yard, saw him come out, stared at him, and ran to the other side.

Miying is drying clothes in the yard.Hearing the movement, he turned his head and saw Song Shitou standing in the yard, and hurriedly said enthusiastically, "Brother is up? I'll find you Shishi's clothes to wear. Take off this clothes, and I'll wash it for you."

Last night, Song Shitou learned that his younger brother Song Shikuai was working as a part-time worker in the town, and he would not be able to go home until tomorrow.

Meiying is a very hard-working woman. After drying the clothes and loosening the soil in the yard, she never idles for a moment.

During the chat, Song Shitou learned that she was going to plant some autumn cucumbers.

She is a very talkative woman, and the parents chatted shortly.It’s just that money is always mentioned in a few sentences, “Brother, how much do you pay for a month to go to war?” “Brother, you are missing an arm, will the military camp subsidize you?”

In the end, both inside and outside the words, Meiying was asking how much money Song Shitou brought back.

Song Shitou didn't show it on the surface, but he had some opinions on his younger brother Meiying in his heart.

At night, he still lives in the small room in the utility room, with thatch still covering his body.

His father said that there is no rich room in the family, and the carpenter in the village has already asked the carpenter in the village to make a bed for him.

Song Shitou sighed heavily, feeling that being at home is not as comfortable as being in the barracks.

He stayed in the military camp for seven years, and except for the last two years, all the money he got was sent back home.

The family built a new house, but did not even keep his house.

Parents probably thought he would die outside.

Today, not only his younger siblings asked him how much money he brought home, but his mother also asked him to hand over the money to her for safekeeping.

Song Shitou turned over, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.

The next day he took the initiative to find his parents, and wanted to ask them to find him a wife.This is what he wants most now.

Meiying found out, and volunteered, saying that there was a suitable one in their family's village, and they didn't want any betrothal gift.

Shitou Niang asked, "Which family does the girl belong to?" She found out clearly, so she could go and find out.

"It's a girl from Orion's family in our village. She's eighteen this year."

"Eighteen? Can you have my stone?" Song Shitou is almost thirty.

Song Shitou also felt that he was not good enough. He was not only old, but also disabled.How can the girl in the house fall in love with him?

Meiying smiled and said, "If there is no play, why should I say it. Mother, brother, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

"This Huaniang is a girl from the hunter's family in our village. A few years ago, her father fell down the mountain while hunting, and disappeared. There is only one girl left in the family."

"In these years, no one cared about her, so it was delayed to eighteen."

"However, this beautiful lady is beautiful and hardworking. It's just that she was delayed by her family."

"Mother, big brother," Meiying looked at the two people in front of her, and tried her best to persuade, "Big brother is at this age, and he is missing an arm, and our family has such conditions, where can we find someone younger?"

Song Shitou was a little moved, what Meiying said was the truth.Who doesn't want to marry a big girl with yellow flowers.He took the initiative to say, "Mother, why don't you help me check it out. If it's okay, I'll make a decision."

Another day, Shitou Niang went out early in the morning to inquire about the orphan Mei Niang.

After walking for an hour, we arrived at Zhuangzi of Meiying's family.After searching for someone and asking a few words, I found a small courtyard with a hut.

Shitou Niang immediately thought in her heart that the conditions of this house are really not good.Said to be Orion, I am afraid that the craftsmanship is not very good.Otherwise, in the whole Zhuangzi, everyone else has mud houses and brick houses, and only her house is a thatched house.

In the fenced yard, there are a few chickens scattered around, walking slowly in the yard.

A girl in brown sackcloth was hoeing in the yard.Seeing that she moves neatly and works fast, she should be a diligent one.

"Girl." Shitou Niang walked into the small courtyard and called.

Meiniang turned her head when she heard the sound, a pair of big eyes were watery on her palm-sized face.He was thin and out of shape, with sunken cheeks, and a pair of big eyes that looked a little scary.

Shitou Niang sighed in her heart, she was so thin, she didn't know if it would be good to give birth.

"Girl, would you like to say kiss to you?"

Meiniang put down her hoe and looked at Shitouniang suspiciously, "Whose boy? Which village?"

"My boy. From Songjiazhuang." Shitou Niang beautified Song Shitou.

Meiniang listened, but was silent for a while.

Shitou Niang tentatively called, "Girl?"

"He doesn't dislike me?" Everyone in the village said that she was hard-fated and overpowered her family, so she became an orphan.No one dared to marry her in the ten miles and eight villages.

Shitou Niang hurriedly said, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. I asked someone to read it. The 26th of this month is a good day. Do you think it will work? My son wants to marry a wife soon."

The author has something to say:

Song Shitou is going to marry a wife.

I had cold noodles for lunch today, and I mixed the seasoning myself.

The mung bean sprouts are really delicious after being scalded and mixed.
