The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 149 A Person's Name, A Tree's Shadow

Leaving aside this New Year's Eve, the Zuo family, who had just arrived in the border town, all enjoyed a feast of fat mutton and fat fish.

Not to mention the extent to which Zuo Wenxuan's empty-handed return home late at the west wing and the ensuing marital battle with Madam Lü.

After finishing his New Year's Eve dinner, Fatty started fussing about wanting to sleep in the small cubicle in the middle of the room with Brother Xia.

Gan Minglan was worried that the two children's excitement would affect their sleep, so she tried to persuade them a few times.

Madam Luo, who always doted on her precious grandson, said to her son and daughter-in-law:
"It's the New Year, so we shouldn't get upset. It's something the two brothers have agreed on, so we adults shouldn't interfere."

Zuo Wenkang: What can he say? He won't interfere! He'd be thrilled! His smirk is so wide it's hard to suppress.

The earthen kang beds in the border town are almost all the same size.

It is three meters long and two meters wide.

The small cubicle specially set up for Fatty was only one meter long.

at this time.

The small cubicle that originally belonged to the older brother has been taken over by little Yuanyuan all by herself.

The little one was sleeping soundly with his arms and legs outstretched, breathing evenly.

She is not heat-tolerant, and even with only a thin quilt covering her stomach, she was still slightly sweating on her head.

Meanwhile, her heartless parents were sweating even more than she was in the next bed.

For Gan Minglan.

A man who is neither unpleasant in appearance nor temperament, and who can do all the housework that women do except give birth, and does it quite well, is always in front of her.

The hooks in my eyes came down wave after wave.

She's just a bit slow to understand romantic relationships, not really stupid.

If we don't eat it, who are we going to benefit from it?
It's legal and compliant, so why not take advantage of it!

The main theme of children in the apocalypse is to live for the moment and stay together if things are going well, and separate if they are not.

As for Zuo Wenkang...

No one knows better than him.

During the Battle of Jinzhou Pass, the beautiful wife of a goddess caught the eye of countless men.

If he can't take advantage of his proximity to the water, he might end up being divorced one day.

He wouldn't feel at ease as long as they weren't truly husband and wife.

Of course, he also had to thank his wife for awakening her wood-type ability, which showed him just how fast and good her body's recovery ability was.

That wound that exposed bone has now completely disappeared, even the scar has vanished without a trace.

Her fair skin was flawless and had a faint woody scent.

The woody scent is mixed with a subtle milky aroma.

The double stimulation is enough to make your scalp tingle.

Zuo Wenkang used every trick in the book he had learned in his previous life to win favor.

He served Gan Minglan, this perpetually single woman, to the point that she was thoroughly satisfied and had an unforgettable experience.

Once someone has found something interesting, they become addicted.

They even cheated to quickly restore their physical strength after it was depleted.

Then, the couple shamelessly made love in bed for most of the night.
New Year's Day.

Luo saw her silly son early in the morning, circling around his daughter-in-law and showering her with sweet words and smiles.

As for it?
He had never been this attentive during their first month of marriage!
Looking at her daughter-in-law, she looked better and rosier than usual, and didn't give her good-for-nothing son a single extra glance.

She wasn't expressionless. Occasionally, she'd give the cheap man a sharp look.

The other person was not afraid at all; instead, their laughter was even more unbearable to watch.

Everyone was used to her cold face and didn't notice anything unusual.

Gan Minglan was indeed somewhat embarrassed and angry.

This guy, whose brain is full of lewd nonsense, insisted on tasting his daughter's food last night in a moment of passion.

How can an adult's appetite compare to that of a baby who is just over a month old?

As a result, when Yuanyuan opened her eyes this morning, she only ate two-thirds of her usual amount of rice.

The little one was quite strong to begin with, and almost bit her mother badly.

What could Gan Minglan do with a baby girl who was only a little over a month old?

The debt owed to the daughter can only be attributed to her biological father.

Knowing he was in the wrong, the person said a lot of nice things.

Luo was thoroughly annoyed by what she saw, so she simply followed She to the kitchen to make breakfast.

The original kitchen was not large enough to accommodate three stoves.

The soldiers, who were not afraid of trouble, used mud bricks to build two small kitchens on the left side of the left wing.

The standard configuration is three households, three kitchens, and three master bedrooms.

Spending the Lunar New Year with Mrs. She and her son last night was a special case.

The first meal of the new year in a new home should naturally be cooked and eaten by the family.

Last night, Gan Minglan lent She ten catties of flour, one catty of oil, half a catty of salt, and two bundles of firewood.

Finally, they even kindly gifted the mother and son a few bowls of meat and vegetable dishes.

In short, borrowing is borrowing, and giving is giving.

The master and apprentice families kept their finances very separate.

The military households' quarters in the border town were bustling with activity on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Especially the men and women who helped out in courtyard number 36 yesterday.

On the surface, they are exchanging New Year's greetings, but in reality, they are all just bystanders.

This question:
"We've heard that the Jade-Faced Rakshasa is as strong as an ox, and that she killed thousands of barbarians with a single wooden stick. Is she really that capable?"

That doubt:
“I don’t believe it. It must be those lads who can’t resist a woman with a decent appearance and say she can kill ten or eight Hu people. I can barely believe that! But they say she killed thousands of people. Do you think this is a play?”

There were also people:
"Isn't it said that after three years in the army, even a sow can become as beautiful as Diao Chan? You guys ran away so fast yesterday, hurry up and tell me what you look like in person?"

Faced with the curiosity of their neighbors, the aunties who got the firsthand information naturally had a lot to say:
"You ask how beautiful the scholar's wife is? Of course, she's even more beautiful than those brats say! Not only is the scholar's wife beautiful, but her husband, the scholar, is also handsome, and her two children are not ordinary-looking either!"

"Oh my, anyone who's seen her little girl wouldn't want to have another one! Those eyes are so big and round, and those eyelashes are longer than my life!"

"Don't let the scholar's wife's somewhat aloof appearance fool you, she's actually quite generous! We only helped tidy up two rooms and gave her some cheap mutton and fish, but she reciprocated by giving our family a big bag of malt sugar."

"Oh my, my little ones were so happy eating maltose last night! They kept saying they'd never tasted such sweet maltose before! I wonder how much maltose will cost these days!"

“We also inquired about the killing of the Hu people. There were indeed no thousands of Hu people, but more than a thousand could not have escaped. It was the leader of the Tatar Tumed tribe, Sodo Khan, who was killed by her own hands.”

"It's not that she's as strong as an ox. She herself said that she helped her father slaughter pigs since she was a child, so her strength is only slightly greater than that of an average person."

A skilled butcher naturally has a better understanding of the bones and veins of live animals.

Her stick was no ordinary stick; it was made of a hardwood as hard as iron, and a blade had been carved into the top.

Therefore, aiming for the vital points of the barbarians naturally resulted in more kills than with others!

Within a single day, the border town was imbued with the legend of the Jade-Faced Rakshasa, a creature of extreme beauty and ferocity.
