Chapter 94 Returning to the Troops

"I liked it last time. We have other kerosene lamps at home. It's a waste to keep this thing. Why don't you give it as a favor?"

Liu Mulin sighed and said.

Jiang Defu came over to talk about something earlier. Liu Mulin saw that he was very interested in the silver lamp in his house and inspected it for a long time.

You can't sell this thing for money now, let alone eat or drink it. It's a waste just to leave it alone. It's better to give it away as a favor.

"It doesn't matter if you give this thing away, it's just that you give this half bag of white flour..."

My wife looked at those white noodles with some distress.

Nowadays, the custom in the village is that whichever family is doing something, whether it is a wedding or a wedding, will send some food, such as flour or grains, and all families will gather together to hold a banquet and eat.

It's just that life is better now, and the most people give away is two bowls of multigrain noodles or white noodles. Because of the Jiang family's current status in the village, many people give away three or four bowls, which is more than before.

But sending half a bag to the Liu family was definitely a big deal. No wonder Liu Mulin's wife felt a little distressed.

She felt sorry for the half bag of white noodles, but she didn't care much about the shining silver lamp.

"What do you know? I've already inquired. Shi Laiwang and Daniu's family both gave us half a bag of white flour. How can we be so shabby?"

Liu Mulin said directly.

"Why are you comparing yourself to them? They are one of our own. Although they have two surnames, they are almost the same as the same surname. And you are the village chief. Why do you always treat them so lowly..."

Liu Mulin's wife muttered.

"You know a hammer, but you have long hair and short knowledge! Don't you see who this village depends on for its prosperity now? Not to mention that Jiang Defu subdued the Li brothers before, but now the manure pit controls the entire village. life!
Not to mention other people, just our family. Do you think we can divorce?

You still don’t know how old I am?When the Li brothers dominated the village, I, as the village chief, had long been in name only. There were few talented people in the Liu family, and there was no unity. I am still in this position. Why is it that that boy from the Jiang family is willing to give me face?You!Although he looks smart, he is actually confused. No wonder the two babies are less enlightened than the other! "

Liu Mulin's last words were a bit unpleasant.

His wife was pretty and charming, and the couple had always had a good relationship. He rarely said such things, but both children were not shrewd, especially his son, who was stupid and thoughtless. No wonder Liu Mulin was worried.

"His father..."

Liu Mulin's words were a little harsh, and his wife choked up immediately.

"Forget it! Forget it! It's all fate! Shui Gen is a brainless person who can't stand up. He only listens to his wife. If I don't exist in the future, our family's good life will come to an end.

The three boys from the Jiang family give me face, and I will naturally pave the way for you with wisdom. You will get closer to the Jiang family and the Shi Changsheng family in the future. That boy Changsheng is a man of his own opinions. I am afraid he will take the lead in this Shi'ao Village in the future...

Shi Laiwang will teach his sons that they are generous and as long as we are sincere, even if I die, our family's life will not be bad! "

Liu Mulin sighed.

"understood!"

"Let's also get married to Chunhua after the Chinese New Year!"

Liu Mulin's sister got married in the town and introduced a marriage to Liu Chunhua. Liu Chunhua was reluctant at first because she thought the young man was average-looking, but Liu Mulin made the decision directly and Liu Chunhua did not dare to say anything more.

"Well, I don't have to!"

……

In October, the autumn air is crisp and Shi'ao Village is bustling with activity.

Although marriage in this era is simple, it is very lively.

The Jiang family was so generous that they even killed one of their pigs. Zhang Guilan and the others raised three pigs in the front yard. One was already big, and the other two were expected to be ready for slaughter during the Chinese New Year.

Now that life is getting better, many families raise livestock, but most of them are reluctant to eat them and sell them for money or food.

Jiang Decai and Zhang Guilan wore new clothes and hung a few red cloth strips on their bodies. They were surrounded by everyone and worshiped their parents. After drinking a glass of wine, the wedding was completed.

Next is the wedding banquet.

The banquet was simple, but still a big deal in this day and age.

Because three large pots of meat-based dishes were cooked, along with multi-grain steamed buns mixed with white flour, adults and children each had a bowl of meat, vegetables and steamed buns.

The meat and vegetable bowls were piled full, with three steamed buns for adults and one for children. Everyone ate happily.

"Defu, Defu! Guests from your town are coming to the wedding!" Jiang Defu was dining with a group of people in the main room when someone came in shouting.

"Guests in town?"

Jiang Defu was a little confused.

As he stood up, he heard the sound of a car outside.

When he walked to the door, he saw Xiao Zeng getting out of the car.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Xiao Zeng smiled and cupped his hands.

"How did you have time to come here?"

Jiang Defu smiled and said, he didn't expect Xiao Zeng to come.

Jiang Decai was getting married. Jiang Defu did not inform Xiao Zeng specifically. He just ran into Xiao Zeng when he went to the town to buy things for his second brother's wedding.

Xiao Zeng said he wanted to participate, but things were a bit busy, so he was sent several pieces of good cloth.

Cong Wei also asked Xiao Zeng to send some gifts to celebrate.

They were busy with things. Jiang Defu didn't expect him to come over, but he didn't expect him to come over at this time.

"Come in and have a meal!"

Jiang Defu pulled Xiao Zeng in.

The people in the village looked at the noble relatives of the Jiang family with envy.

The children in the village stopped eating and gathered around the car driven by Xiao Zeng to watch curiously.

Some people wanted to touch it, but they were scolded by the old people in the village, saying that the thing was expensive and if it was broken, they would not be able to pay it back if it was sold.

The children didn't dare to come forward anymore, they just squatted around and watched enviously.

There was also wine made from mountain grapes at home, so Jiang Defu took it out and invited everyone to drink it together.

Shi Laiwang and Liu Mulin were originally sitting in the main room. After Xiao Zeng arrived, they said hello and went out.

They are all young people. They are older and there is a generation gap between them. Only Daniel and Changsheng are allowed to drink with them.

Xiao Zeng often followed the leader, and he had a good drinking capacity. He also brought a bottle of liquor, and several people drank it to their heart's content.

Dan Niu and Chang Sheng drank too little and couldn't stand it after just a few drinks, so they were dragged back to sleep by their family members.

Jiang Defu was left alone to accompany Xiao Zeng and the two of them drinking until the afternoon.

"You sleep here at night, and I will take you to the mountains to hunt tomorrow. There should be a lot of good stuff in the mountains recently."

After having enough wine and food, Jiang Defu said to Xiao Zeng.

Xiao Zeng came here several times before when he was not busy, and also stayed at Jiang's house for a day or two, and experienced rural life with Jiang Defu.

Compared to the loneliness in the town, Xiao Zeng actually preferred Jiang Defu's place.

Cong Wei also often teases Xiao Zeng, saying that he is not like his assistant, but like the resident cadre of Shi'ao Village.

"That's not possible! By the way, I just drank and forgot about the real thing!"

Xiao Zeng patted his head, seeming to remember the business he was here for.

"What's the business? Aren't you here to attend my second brother's wedding today?"

Jiang Defu smiled.

"It's not just about this. I'm here to inform you that your leader has sent a letter and wants to recruit you back to the army!"

Xiao Zeng said directly.

"what?"
