Aunt Fan heard Qin Fang's voice, and hurriedly opened the door: "My lord is back, oh, my lord caught a lot of prey." There are hares and pheasants, but what is this bigger? Aunt Fan did not know.

The servant's yard was the closest to the door. Hearing the movement at the door, the private guards' family members all came out to see it, but they were only looking around in the servant's yard and didn't come close. Although they didn't know the rules of the big family, they still knew some basic common sense, and they didn't dare to get together in front of Qin Fang.

This time, Qin Fang went out with five private guards early in the morning and spent a day on the mountain before hunting four prey, one pheasant, two hares, and one roe deer. In fact, it is also lucky, because it is the beginning of spring, and the prey come out to find food.

At the border crossing, hunting is good in spring and hunting in winter. Because in spring the prey comes out looking for food, and in winter, the prey doesn't like to move very much, and as long as it finds a trail, it can always be hit. But relatively speaking, spring is the best time to hunt.

Qin Fang and Kun Shi took the four prey to the kitchen, and Huang Huzi and others led the horses back to the stable to wash them. Aunt Fan followed behind, looking at the prey, thinking about how to cook these meat at night to make it delicious.

When Yang Haiyan and the children heard the news and went to the kitchen and saw the prey on the ground, Yang Haiyan suddenly thought: "Master, can you catch a live hare?" Rabbits are the best at breeding. ?

Qin Fang thought she wanted a rabbit, so he believed to himself: "Yes." She likes it, he must be satisfied.

When Yang Haiyan heard it, she said, "Then you can bring back one male and one female, and they can multiply." After multiplying, they will be raised and eaten. Yang Haiyan never thought about something so cute that a rabbit could not eat.

Qin Fang heard this, and his heart moved. After the new year, his daughter-in-law will be eighteen, and there are still nine months. She must not wait to have a child with herself. "Okay."

Aunt Fan looked at the four dead prey and asked, "Ma'am, how to deal with this?"

Yang Haiyan began to arrange the game: "Two rabbits are braised, the pheasant is stewed in soup. When the soup is stewed, put away dried bamboo shoots, dried fungus, and dried mushrooms."

Aunt Fan responded quite loudly: "Hey."

Kun Shi neatly went to skin the hare, Aunt Fan took Aunt Yu to pluck the pheasant, and Qin Fang, the remaining roe deer, did it himself.

After the game was processed, the private guards who brushed the horses also came.

Seeing that the five private guards were all there, Yang Haiyan thought of what happened before, and said, "Captain Kun, you all come here."

The five private guards headed by Kun Shi walked up to Yang Haiyan: "I have seen my wife."

Yang Haiyan said: "Don't be too polite, I mainly want to tell you one thing. Earlier, everyone had no family around, and it was inconvenient to cook by yourself, so the house has always prepared meals for you. But now Your family members have all returned, so I decided that the house will no longer prepare your meals. But don't worry, the meals will be converted into food and sent to you every month.

According to your food intake, the government will give you 40 catties of grain, 40 catties of vegetables, 4 catties of meat dishes, and ten eggs every month. Starting from April, as for the remaining days of March, each of you will be subsidized by fifty cents, what do you think? "

Kun Shi: "My subordinates have no opinion." That's fine. With a daughter-in-law at home, you can cook these things yourself.

Then, other private guards also said there was no problem.

Yang Haiyan smiled with satisfaction: "Then come tomorrow morning to receive next month's food. Vegetables and meat dishes will be collected once every seven days, and the food will be given at one time." Otherwise, vegetables and meat dishes will be spoiled if they are given at one time.

Kun Shi and others: "Yes."

This dinner was the master and the servant. Especially the family members of private guards, each received a bowl of braised rabbit meat and a bowl of chicken soup. Although there are not many pieces of braised rabbit meat, each private guard is only five or six pieces, but the chicken soup is a big bowl, even if it is all soup, it tastes good. However, for a single private guard, these are all eaten by one person, which is absolutely enough.

After dinner, the kitchen brought roe deer meat, five private guards, each with two catties. This is what Qin Fang took everyone to hunt with, so naturally he had to give them some.

Kun Zhang accepted the roe deer meat, and asked Kun Shi with some doubts, "Why did the kitchen send the meat here?"

Kun Shi remembered that he hadn't said anything about the grain distribution that his wife said, so he said: "My wife said, starting from tomorrow, the kitchen will no longer send us cooked food, and a monthly subsidy of 40 catties of grain, 40 catties of vegetables, Four catties of meat dishes and ten eggs. For the remaining few days of this month, I will be subsidizing fifty cents. I think it's good, you are here, and these dishes can be made according to your taste. "

Forty catties of grain subsidies a month, as well as meat dishes and eggs, are indeed considerable. Kun Zhang said: "It's still good."

Kun Shi: "My wife said that tomorrow morning, I will receive a one-time subsidy for food, and I will receive vegetables and meat dishes every seven days."

Mrs. Kunzhang understood: "It's just right to get it once every seven days, so as not to spoil the vegetables. Then when I'm idle, I can go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and mushrooms. By the way, this afternoon, we are going to see my wife, my wife. Ask what we plan to do..." Mrs. Kunzhang repeated the story of the afternoon, "Tell me, what kind of work should I find?"

Kun Shi thought: "My wife has a dim sum shop. Before Mrs. Han was pregnant, she often went to her dim sum shop to approve dim sum, and then sold them in the county town. I saw that Mrs. Han often went to appraise it, so it should be good, you how do you feel?"

Others don't know that Yang Dahua went to Yang Haiyan's dim sum shop to approve dim sum, but Kun Shi knows it. After all, he follows Qin Fang every day. Once Han Zhen mentioned that Yang Dahua was pregnant, and he was still thinking about the dim sum store approving dim sum to sell in the county. So he remembers.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Kunzhang had some scruples: "Will this be regarded as robbing Mrs. Han's business? If it is, it is not very good. After all, she is Mrs. Centurion."

Kun Shi smiled and said, "No. First of all, Mrs. Han is pregnant and can't go to the county town to do business. Second, the county is so big, even if Mrs. Han can go to the county town to do business, as long as you don't do business in one street, it won't affect you. To her. But you will visit your wife tomorrow and hear her opinion."

Kunzhang said: "Okay. What if Huang Huzi's family and Meng Ping's family ask? If they know that I am going to the county to sell dim sum, will they also ask my wife to approve the dim sum?"

Kun Shi: "There is no way to avoid this, and the county is big, so you can sell it separately. With such a big county, it's not enough for you to do business separately?"

Kun Zhang: "That's okay, I know it."

The Kun family and their husbands were talking about these things, as was the Meng Ping family.

In Meng Ping's house, Meng Ping and his wife have a room, and Meng An and Meng Qiu have a room. But it wasn't the big night, everyone had dinner and sat and discussed.

Meng Ping's daughter-in-law said, "The head of the house, my wife said, let's find a job ourselves. Meng An said that we can do laundry for people and pick up firewood in the town. Which do you think is better?"

Meng Ping thought for a while: "Pick up firewood, it's not good for your waist to sit all the time to wash clothes for others, and Meng An is a girl's family, so you have to wash men's clothes to wash clothes for others, so it's not good to hear the words of picking up firewood. , if you pick it up three times, it won't ruin Meng An's reputation. And this area is very peaceful and safe."

Meng Ping's wife: "Then listen to you."

Meng An: "I also listen to my brother."

Meng Ping looked at his sister: "Little sister, what do you think of Chen Dashi and Tao Shan?" Meng Ping thought about it when he brought his sister here, and discussed it with his parents at home, so he brought his sister out. He thinks, although the little sister has been badly reputed by that beast, she will still get married in the future. That being the case, it might be better to find someone he is familiar with and has a good character.

Meng Ping thought that Chen Dashi and Tao Shan were not married. They were all private guards and served in the military together. So if my sister gets married with one of them, he can take care of it. Besides, it is better to follow the adult's private guard than to work in the countryside. As soon as Meng Ping and his parents analyzed, they brought Meng An.

Of course, when they brought it, they kept it from Meng An. After all, when something like this happened to my sister, she may be more disgusted with her relatives.

Meng An was originally a smart person. She didn't know her brother's arrangement before, but now that her brother asked, she knew what he meant. She has met both Chen Dashi and Tao Shan. She doesn't know whether they are good or bad, but if you follow the adults, at least the future is good. She thought about it, and replied conservatively, "It's good."

When Meng Ping heard it, he felt that there was a drama: "Brother, let me introduce you? Which one do you like? Meng An, brother, let me tell you the truth, that beast has no conscience, so don't think about it. Like Chen Dashi and Tao Shan, they are both with their brother. Just like those who follow the adults, we are loyal to the adults. In the future, if the adults are good, we will also be good. Moreover, they have a monthly bill of 300 wen a month, and the food is all from the house, and the money can be saved every month. The days in the future will certainly not be bad. When my brother brought you here, I told my parents about it, and they thought it was fine. What do you think?"

Meng An naturally had no vigorous love for her former fiancé. They were engaged, and ancient women were conservative and loyal, so she never thought about other men. She used to be single-minded about marrying her fiancé, having children, and living a good life.

But that man betrayed her in the blink of an eye, and she naturally wouldn't think about it. Her thoughts are also transparent. She can't be an old girl all her life, and she will also marry and have children in the future, so she does not reject the matter of seeing someone. Now her brother asks her about the other two private guards, and she thinks it's not bad. Living in such a small yard, men have serious work, she can find work by herself, and if there is any emergency, her brother will take care of it.

After thinking about it, Meng An nodded: "I think Chen Dashi is pretty good." Because Chen Dashi is a little taller than Tao Shan.

Meng Ping was very satisfied when he heard it: "Then brother, say hello to Chen Dashi and see what he means. If he sees the right eye with you, brother will make the decision and let you marry."

Meng An blushed: "Listen to my brother."

Meng Ping went out happily and planned to talk to Chen Dashi about this.

Chen Dashi solved six pieces of meat and a large bowl of chicken soup by himself. The stomach was full, as long as the chicken soup was too full. Then he sat on the stool, thinking about what to do with tomorrow's food? The wife said that starting from tomorrow, the food will be solved by itself. Although the kitchen will divide the food, but he can't cook, what should I do?

Chen Dashi was worried at the moment, when Meng Ping came. "Brother Meng." Meng Ping is older than Chen Dashi. Chen Dashi was only fifteen years old when he came to serve in the military, but he is twenty-one this year.

Meng Ping smiled and said, "Dashi, we are so familiar with each other. I have known each other for five years. I won't cheat with you. You can answer a few questions honestly."

Chen Dashi was taken aback, what happened? "Brother Meng, say it."

Meng Ping: "Dashi, has your family said about your daughter-in-law?"

Chen Dashi was quite depressed: "This time, when I went back, my family took a look at me, but they didn't like it. When they heard that I was still at the border, they felt that I would be a widow at any time, and they didn't want to travel all the way to the border with me. "It's the truth. Of course, he didn't say that he followed the captain of the seventh rank, but only said that he had found a job at the border. If he got married, the other party had to go with him to the border.

For someone like Meng Ping who would be willing to leave his parents behind to come to the border, there was naturally more than one son in the family, so he was relieved. Of course, not only Meng Ping, but also other private guards have only one son, otherwise who would endure leaving his parents alone? Besides, if there was only one son in the family, the parents would not have the heart to let them serve in the military, and even if they borrowed money, they would use money to buy places for military service. A son is the lifeblood.

Meng Ping heard it and said directly, "How do you think my sister is?"

Chen Dashi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Meng Ping meant. He and Meng Ping are both adults' private soldiers, and the five of them have a good relationship. After all, before they became adults' private soldiers, they were all soldiers in the barracks, and they were in the same team, so they became adults. After they became private soldiers, their relationship became even closer.

When Meng An came, he had also seen him. He looked quiet and virtuous, and was very suitable for being a wife. However, Chen Dashi regarded Meng An as his younger sister, after all, Meng Ping's younger sister, so he didn't think much about it at that time.

Now that Meng Ping asked this question, he thought for a while: "It's good." Knowing what Meng Ping meant, his answer was naturally not what a brother meant by looking at his sister, but what a man meant by looking at women. In addition, everyone has a daughter-in-law, but he does not have a daughter-in-law, and he is also old, and he is thinking about it. With a daughter-in-law, I don't have to wash my clothes, the bedding is hot, and I don't have to cook my own meals, which is pretty good.

Meng Ping was also happy when he heard it. Meng An is his sister, of course he is happy to be liked. But: "I will also tell you about Meng An..." Then, Meng Ping talked about Meng An's previous marriage. When speaking, he also carefully observed Chen Dashi's expression. If the other party showed a hint of disgust, then there was no need to talk about it.

However, after he finished speaking, Chen Dashi didn't show any disgust. Instead, he said, "It's not about Meng An, it's that person's fault." Chen Dashi really didn't feel anything, after all, he went home in March. At that time, when he saw the object, he was also despised by others, so he did not feel that he had the qualification to despise Meng An. Moreover, Meng Ping's home is far away from his hometown, and it is impossible for Meng An's affairs to spread to his hometown.

Besides, he felt that the quality of a person's character was more important than the reputation he had to have. "Brother Meng, I don't care, I think Miss Meng An is pretty good." So, when will you get married? He desperately wants to get married now.

Meng Ping didn't know Chen Dashi's eagerness: "Then I will formally introduce you to each other, and then you will see each other?"

Chen Dashi: "Okay."

main courtyard

Yang Haiyan wiped off the mucus on her hand with a wet handkerchief. Since she learned the skills of her hands, Qin Fang has been a little sloppy, and she always grabs her hand from time to time. For example, today, obviously he didn't drink deer whip, but this man was very excited.

After wiping her hands clean, she stretched out in front of Qin Fang: "Look, it's all red." She felt like her skin was going to break.

Qin Fang grabbed her hand and rubbed it gently: "my fault."

Yang Haiyan was not happy that he admitted his mistake. He was very active in admitting his mistake every time, and he forgot about it when he looked back.

Facing her murderous eyes, Qin Fang gently massaged her hand, and said aggrievedly: "You have to pity me too." He is a normal man, a 21-year-old man, and every day It's hard work.

Yang Haiyan snorted and had to say that she was still very moved by Qin Fang's endurance. Some men talk nicely and won't move you or anything, but they turn around and do everything possible to move you. "By the way, today I asked Uncle Hong to go to a nearby village to buy land, ten acres of medium-sized land."

Qin Fang massaged her hand and said, "Buy that much?"

Yang Haiyan gave him an analysis: "Well, I plan to grow some vegetables, and then raise some pigs, chickens and ducks. Originally, I was thinking that the food of the private guards will be subsidized, and the family will also need to spend money. In the long run, I should buy the land myself to grow and breed. It's more cost-effective. Besides, the family members of the private guards are all here. If they can't find a job, it will be a burden for the private guards. Although this has nothing to do with us, it will also affect the private guards. So I thought I bought the land, and I have to hire people around, so why don't I arrange the private guards' family members on the land." She had this idea when she asked Uncle Hong to arrange to buy the land. In the afternoon, I heard from those family members that they all know how to work in the fields, and I felt that this arrangement was very appropriate.

Ten acres of land were handed over to private guards and their families to plant, and the private guards’ family members were usually allowed to guard the fields. Of course, a yard will also be built in the ground for the convenience of living. Especially these female relatives, if they raise pigs, chickens and ducks, they are even better at it. Although food is added at the end of the year, plus the monthly allowance, the three family members still need at least six taels of silver. But in the same way, the monthly grain subsidy of 200 yuan per private guard can be saved, and the surplus vegetables, chickens, ducks and pigs can be bought. All in all, it's still a solid year-round profit.

Of course, these were just her plans, and she didn't reveal it to the private guard's family. She had to observe and observe the behavior of these people first. Although it was said that they were just looking at the crops in the field, the character of these people was not so important, but she also didn't want to hire people with bad character.

Qin Fang listened to Yang Haiyan's careful arrangements, listened and listened... and fell asleep.

When Yang Haiyan heard his whirring, she could not wait to squeeze his muscles. But he was still reluctant, after all, he and his private guards went hunting in the mountains for a day, and it was also very tiring.

the next day

Early the next morning, Aunt Fan and Aunt Yu returned from shopping. After a while, Kun Shi and other five private guards went to the kitchen to get food for April.

Aunt Fan said, "Every person receives 40 catties of food at one time. The rest of the food is received on the first, eighth, fifteenth, and twenty-second days of each month. This time, we will have to wait until the eighth day to receive it."

Kun Shi and the others said, "Understood."

Aunt Fan added: "Forty catties of grain are five catties of rice, fifteen catties of brown rice, ten catties of sweet potatoes, and ten catties of potatoes. Ten catties of vegetables include green vegetables, lettuce, water spinach, and cabbage, and one catty of meat vegetables is spare ribs, and each Ten eggs a month. In addition, in the remaining days of this month, the wife said that the subsidy is fifty cents. You all check it, and if there is no problem, sign here. "

The private guards checked it, received fifty pennies, and returned to the yard with their own food.

At the gate of the courtyard, family members were waiting to see what they could get back today. Seeing the private guards come back, the family members all stepped forward.

Meng Ping's daughter-in-law's machine gun sounded the fastest: "What did you get?"

Meng Ping said: "There is rice and eggs."

Meng Ping's daughter-in-law: "Oh, let's boil the pork ribs first, and marinate the two catties of meat that were distributed last night."

Meng Ping: "Listen to you."

Chen Dashi listened to Meng Ping's daughter-in-law's arrangement, thinking that he had no one to cook, so his eyes shifted to Meng An. Meng An was also looking at Chen Dashi secretly. Last night, her brother came back and said Chen Dashi's opinion, so now, she secretly looked at him. As a result, the eyes of the two met.

Meng An blushed and quickly looked away. Chen Dashi also blushed, a big old man, a little embarrassed. However, he boldly walked up to Meng An: "Do you like eggs?"

Meng An wants to be subtle and say it's not uncommon, but who doesn't like to eat eggs? She nodded, "Yeah."

Chen Dashi blushed and said, "I also have eggs to replenish your body."

Meng An shook his head: "You can make up your own body. I don't have to make up for it. My elder brother also has eggs."

Chen Dashi said: "I don't know how to cook, and it will be broken if I leave it in an egg."

Meng An laughed: "How can the egg go bad, and it's good to boil it in water. It's very easy to cook."

Chen Dashi took the opportunity to say: "I really don't know, then... can you cook for me? I have so many here, if no one cooks it, it will definitely be broken."

Meng An's face turned even redder: "Then I'll go over and cook lunch for you later."

Chen Dashi smiled and grinned: "Okay."

After Yang Haiyan had breakfast, she and Qin Fang took Qin Siya and Qin Shoucheng to Mrs. Lu's house. The private school that Qin Shoucheng was going to was the one that Lu Dawei was studying, and Yang Haiyan wanted them to get acquainted with them first.
