Chapter 283 Departure
As soon as the workers left, the people in Zhou's family started to eat with their bowls.
The table is inevitably filled with some duck products or cooked food such as roast duck and roast meat.
I didn’t expect to see a new dish on the table today.
"Hey, what's fried here?"
Looking at the golden thing on the plate, Zhou Laosan asked curiously.
"Uncle, try my fried crispy pork."
Just then Zhou Mingshu came back with some ketchup.
These tomato sauces are made from the leftover cherry tomatoes. They taste sweet and sour, fresh and refreshing. They taste great when dipped with crispy pork.
"Small crispy pork? Not bad, let me try it."
Zhou Laosan pinched one and put it in his mouth. It was crunchy when he took a bite. After chewing it carefully, he found that the meat inside was very tender and delicious.
"Try this sauce. If you want something spicy, try some chili powder."
When the dipping bowl was placed on the table, Zhou Laosan couldn't wait to try it. He could only say that it was so delicious, with richer layers of taste and flavor.
"Don't just stand there. This crispy pork is delicious. Come and try it."
Zhou Minghua left Hu Zi behind and ran over first to accept the food from his father.
The adults all thought it was delicious, not to mention the little kid Zhou Minghua, who kept eating it.
Several other people helped bring the food to the table, and everyone sat down and waited for the meal to start.
Feng held Zhou Mingxiu in one hand and ate slowly with the other, and whoever finished eating first would take the child away.
The plate of crispy pork was eaten up very quickly, and there was some left at the end, which I left all for my aunt.
She eats slowly, so you should leave more for her.
Zhou Mingshu was a little hungry. After all, they had put in a lot of effort today.
She ate two steamed buns and a bowl of noodle soup, then held her full stomach and carried Zhou Mingxiu away.
The two men went straight to the bed in the room. Zhou Mingshu threw his little cousin onto the bed and then gave him a few small toys.
Watching him playing with the small toy seriously, Zhou Mingshu lay down and took a deep breath, which was a rare occasion.
After a tiring whole day, she felt a little sleepy.
I don’t know how long the brother and sister played in the house. It was not until it got dark that their aunt took the children away.
Zhou Mingshu rubbed his stomach and went to the toilet, then he got some footbath water and started washing up to get ready for bed.
The daily routine of watering in the morning and cutting bamboo in the afternoon lasted for nearly ten days, and the willow trees along the river gradually showed new leaves.
Standing at the gate of the yard, you can easily see the green willow branches.
This means that these willow trees are alive and growing well.
The other trees have not yet grown new leaves, but looking at the buds on the branches, they are not dead, so Zhou Mingshu and his colleagues chose not to water them anymore.
If she watered them all day long, not only would they not grow well, but she would be afraid of killing them even if they had already grown well.
After Zhou Mingshu filled all the tree pits with new soil, he ignored them and started transplanting the flower seedlings at home.
Many seedlings are growing well, and Zhou Mingshu treats them very carefully.
After transplanting, water thoroughly and then tamp down with new soil.
These flower seedlings still have their original soil base, so she doesn't worry that they won't grow well in the new environment.
……
The peace talks at the border went smoothly.
After both parties signed the contract, they exchanged hostages very quickly, handed in tribute and went to Beijing to pay homage.
General Qi hasn't been home for five or six years, and he misses his mother very much.
On the other hand, he had to report to the emperor, so he packed his luggage, reorganized the army, and after arranging everything, he took his third son Qi Jian back to Beijing.
The defense of the city was given to the eldest brother Qi Yan, and the second brother Qi Rui was sent to lead the defense of the iron mine.
As for the fourth one...
Whatever happens, this kid has no official status and yet he wants to go to Sanshui County.
With his second brother watching over him, nothing bad will happen.
General Qi had no worries, so he returned home in a very happy mood.
After sending his father and third brother away, Qi Xu began to prepare his own things.
"Brother Zhou, aren't you going to be discharged from the army? Go through the procedures in the next two days. After receiving the money, pack up your things quickly. It's time for us to set off."
Qi Xu brought a big news, and Zhou Shouan and Shen Yang were extremely happy.
I originally thought the road home was long and arduous, but I didn't expect that I could follow the Zhonglang General's large army.
That's with the help of the east wind!
"Young Master, you mean the General of the Central Army is also going to Sanshui County. Why are they going to Sanshui County? How long will it take for them to come back?"
"Brother Zhou, this information is still confidential for now. Don't ask too many questions. Just do your job quickly."
Zhou Shouan thought about it and realized that this was the case. The leader could do whatever he wanted and no one would explain the reason to a small soldier.
The two brothers quickly completed the discharge process.
After all, once peace is restored at the border, many people choose to retire and go home.
So it's easy to go through the discharge process.
The two men chose to give away the tattered items in the tent to their brothers in the same tent or put them in the stove to cook.
Only some good things were left behind, such as duck down quilts, coats, boots and the like.
"Yang'er, is this all you have to carry?"
"Yeah~ That's really all I have. I don't have anything valuable. The bed cover is as hard as an iron plate. Why would I carry it?"
That's true. No one loves Shen Yang, that bastard. There's nothing good around him.
"Okay, we can just stay together for one night and follow you tomorrow morning."
Spring comes late at the border, and the temperature difference between day and night is quite large.
There is still a fire in the tent for heating.
The two brothers were lying in the same bed, but they almost caught fire.
The young man's body temperature was really high. Zhou Shouan was sweating and had to expose his arms to dissipate the heat.
"Brother Shouan, can you sleep? I'm not sleepy at all. I can't even close my eyes."
"Haha, me too. I'm going home tomorrow, and I'm excited. It's normal that I can't sleep."
The two of them chatted incoherently for an unknown amount of time, and then they heard the sound of a large group gathering outside.
"It's time to gather. Let's get up quickly. There's some porridge warmed up in the pot. Let's go eat some so that we can have enough energy for the journey later."
Zhou Shouan sat up with a somersault, pulled Shen Yang up from the bed, then folded the bed and tied it into a square with hemp rope.
Shen Yang served out all the rice porridge, and put two steamed buns and a small dish of pickles on the side to eat with it.
"Brother Shouan, come and eat, it's just right, not too hot."
The two brothers ate as much as they could because they knew that marching was the most strenuous and if they ate less they would not be able to keep up with the main force.
They don't want to be left behind.
"Alright, alright, let's go find the young master. We won't clean up these dishes. Just say hello and leave."
Those sleeping in the tent were all good brothers who had known each other for five or six years. Zhou Shouan shook his shoulders and said goodbye to them one by one.
As it is still dark, there is no need for them to get up and see them off.
