Chapter 574: Gift

Chapter 574 Gift

The third grandmother saw Gu Jinli coming back and said hurriedly: "Xiaoyu, your fried crispy pork is well done. Hurry up and fry a few pots. Don't add spicy food. Erlang's kid doesn't like spicy food."

Then he said: "By the way, make five kilograms of the dried meat you made last time and give it to Erlang to eat on the road. Although the child didn't speak, I could tell last time that he likes to eat dried meat." "

Gu Jinli just responded and rolled up his sleeves to work, feeling sad that the meat at home would be fed to white-eyed wolves again.

But the third grandma really felt sorry for Qin Erlang. She felt that he had no father or mother and was leaving home to serve as a soldier in other places. She was really pitiful. She tried her best to hold a practice banquet for him and said to the Chu family : "Daughter-in-law Tiezhu, your naan pancakes are well baked. Bake a dozen of them and bring them to Erlang tomorrow for him to eat on the way."

 A dozen naans?

Gu Jinli said: "Third Grandma, Qin Erlang doesn't like to bring too many things. If you always prepare so many things, he won't bring them."

Third Grandma said: "Why is there too much? It's not much at all. Yuchang Mansion is far away from us. I finished eating before I even walked halfway. I don't think it's enough."

He glared at her again and said, "What Qin Erlang? He's such a middle-aged man, so he wants to be called second brother."

In the past when I was fleeing from famine, this girl always called Qin Erlang and Qin Erge. I don’t know when she stopped calling her.

Gu Jinli thought, hehe, why should Qin Erlang call him brother if he looks down on them like that? But she didn't want to quarrel with the third grandma, thinking that Qin Erlang was about to leave, so to save her face, she endured it: "Well, I understand."

With a clatter, she put the meat pieces coated in batter into the oil pan and started frying them.

 Chushi was mixing noodles and making baked naan cakes.

Mrs. Cui was not busy in the kitchen, but worked hard in the yard to make backpacks for Qin Erlang. She made two backpacks in total, which were used for Qin Erlang to pack his luggage.

In the afternoon, the Yan family and the Chen family came back from closing their shops and rushed over to help make the banquet noodles. Several men went to the county and bought Qin Erlang a few sets of clothes and shoes, and also gave him a dozen Two daggers and three sheepskin water bags came back.

When they came back, Mrs. Cui had prepared two backpacks and called Gu Dashan: "His father, please give Erlang the backpack by the way."

"Hey." Gu Dashan walked over with a smile, picked up two backpacks, and said to Cui: "You should also take a rest. Doing needlework all the time is not good for your eyes."

Ms. Cui has been doing needlework for most of her life to support her family. Now her eyes are not very good. Xiaoyu is giving her medicine and some eye exercises to help her eyes recover.

Ms. Cui smiled, her face still a little red: "Take it quickly, I will help San Auntie and the others cook, and the banquet will be held later."

Gu Dashan nodded, took his backpack, led the mule cart, and went directly to Qin's house.

Gu Dalin took Gu Qingtian and Gu Qingliang to the Qin family. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Qin family's courtyard, Gu Qingtian's two cousins ​​shouted: "Grandpa Qin, Brother Erlang, come out quickly, my father and the others will bring you something." ”

Mr. Qin was very happy when he heard this. He hurried out and opened the courtyard door, and asked Gu Dashan to bring the mule cart in. They all moved the things on the mule cart together.

"Why did you buy so many things? You must have spent a lot of money." Mr. Qin was moved. Their grandparents and grandchildren had harmed several families, but these families were so kind to their family.

Gu Dalin smiled and said: "Not much, they are all things Erlang can use."

It is true that a lot of money was spent, but when several families shared it together, the money each family contributed was not much.

Mr. Qin didn't believe it when he heard this. Not to mention clothes and shoes, just three sheepskin water bags cost a lot of silver, and two daggers, which cost at least ten taels of silver.

What made Mr. Qin's eyes turn red were those three sets of clothes and shoes... Erlang had no mother or grandmother, and there was no woman at home to make him intimate clothes, so men from several families went to the county town to buy them for him. A piece of love and care is more valuable than a thousand pieces of gold. Seeing that Erlang Qin hadn't come out for a long time, Mr. Qin got angry and shouted into the room: "Erlang, what are you doing in the room? Get out of here!"

It ’s really unknown. Several people do n’t even give him a good face. Are those etiquette from elementary school feed dogs?

Qin Sanlang pulled Qin Erlang out and smiled at several men: "Uncle Dashan, Uncle Dalin... The second brother is in the house collecting the medicine given by Xiaoyu. Don't mind if we are delayed."

The golden medicine made by Xiaoyu is the best, but Xiaoyu is not willing to give it to the second brother, so he should ask Xiaoyu for it.

Gu Dashan was not angry, but smiled and greeted Erlang: "Your Aunt Dashan made these two backpacks. You can use them to pack your luggage. It doesn't matter how much you pack, it will be easy to carry."

Qin Erlang took the two backpacks and stuffed all the things bought for him by several men into the backpacks.

Gu Dalin shook his head and snatched the backpack from his hand to help him pack it: "How can you pack things like you do? Look at these clothes, they are all pressed together. They will become lumps. Come and take a look, Uncle Dalin teach you."

Qin Erlang was not happy, but due to the presence of Mr. Qin and Qin Sanlang, he could only stand by and follow him obediently.

After finally packing up the things, Gu Dashan and the others took him to Gu's house for a meal: "Originally, I was supposed to have a meal at your house, but your yard is small and there is no woman who can cook, so my uncle I ate it at home.”

Qin Erlang didn't say anything, but Qin Sanlang said: "The third grandpa and the third grandma live here. When several families eat together, they should eat at the home where the elders are."

After finishing speaking, Qin Erlang kicked Qin Erlang. Qin Erlang could only smile and echo: "Sanlang is right."

Village Chief He also came with He Dacang and his two grandsons, and said to Qin Erlang: "Erlang is out. I heard that it was General Guo who was guarding the city who personally gave the order. Hey, Erlang, you are going to make a move." When you become a general in the future, don’t forget your fellow villagers, we are waiting for you to return home in glory."

Qin Erlang was warned by Qin Sanlang and did not dare to show his face anymore. He picked up the wine bowl and said, "Young man, remember, I'd like to toast the village chief."

Of course, even if he returns home in fine clothes, he will not return to Dafeng Village.

Village Chief He happily raised his wine bowl and took a sip after Qin Erlang.

In the yard of Gu Jinli's house, there were four tables in the main room. Several families, including the village chief He's grandparents and grandchildren, happily practiced Qin Erlang's meal until it was dark and the torches were lit. Disperse.

Luo Huiniang did not go home, but said to Mrs. Chu: "Mom, I will sleep with Xiaoyu tonight and listen to her talk about the latest news in Fucheng."

Mrs. Chu glared at her: "You haven't finished yet? How many nights have you been listening to it? Be sensible and don't pester Xiaoyu to prevent him from sleeping. Just talk for half an hour."

“Hey mother, I understand, don’t worry.” Luo Huiniang responded happily.

When everyone was about to go to bed, they took Gu Jinli to Qin's house to find Qin Erlang.

Although it was very bad to do this, she still wanted to give Qin Erlang the gift she made with her own hands.

Qin Erlang was really annoying her to death and didn't want to go out, so Mr. Qin said: "You are leaving tomorrow. I think you will only see her once in your life. If you go to see her, you won't lose a piece of meat."

  Huiniang is a good girl and has no intention of trying to quarrel with Erlang. The little girl is just grateful to him.
