Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 968 The Third Brother Returns (4)
"Fourth Uncle praised you a lot, saying that you are Bingxue smart, look at your stupidity, you don't even know Third Brother!"

Mo Zisong clutched his chest and made a grief-stricken expression. He said dejectedly, "I wouldn't be so anxious if I knew it. Third brother, I haven't slept for two days and two nights!"

"Wow……"

Qingli cried loudly, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that she was so sad.The third brother is thinner than before, and he is darker, and there are scars on his hands, he must have suffered in Muyang, she can't bear it, and seeing the third brother was surprised, crying like a little girl.

"You girl, if Dad sees it, he must think I'm bullying you."

Mo Zisong muttered, and patted Qingli on the back, "If my master was in the village, he would give me a big shoe sole without saying a word."

Snowflakes were floating in the sky, and within a short time, Qing Li and Mo Zisong had already been covered with a layer of snow.In the main room, Mo Ruhu and Mrs. Liu didn't sleep so well. This year was different from previous years. The youngest daughter came back and married off the second daughter. I always felt a little uncomfortable.

The cry in the middle of the night spread far and wide. Mo Ruhu and Mrs. Liu got up, lit the oil lamp, and opened the door. Mrs. Liu asked nervously, "Girl Li, what's wrong with you, why are you crying in the middle of the night?" ?”

"Mother, the third brother is back!"

Qingli yelled, wiped her tears with her hands, and held Mo Zisong's hand tightly, she cried, "Why don't you go to see me in Kyoto, just go to Muyang with fourth uncle, I heard you never The city wall fell, and I thought I would never see it again in this life!"

"What are you talking about, your third brother is very lucky, and he wants to marry a daughter-in-law for our parents to hold grandchildren!"

Mo Zisong winked at Qingli again and again. The news was hidden from his parents. After he winked, he came out of the house and Mo Ruhu said with a lantern, "Third boy, you came back on horseback? It's cold, why did you tell me?" Are your eyes cramping from the cold?"

When Dad said this, Qing Li burst into tears and laughed, and then remembered that the two had been standing in the yard for at least a quarter of an hour.She dragged her third brother into the side hall of her parents and hurriedly prepared the stove.

This commotion was a bit loud, Grandma Cui and Mammy Yu heard the commotion, and hurriedly boiled hot water in the kitchen, and ordered another bowl of shredded chicken noodle soup. It happened that there was chicken soup at home, and it was stewed all night. New Year's Eve dishes.

In the side hall, the candles are brightly lit. Qing Li is sitting opposite Mo Zisong, watching his third brother sucking noodles. He is still the same as when he was very young. Every time he eats vegetables, he always has such a happy expression. A bowl of noodles , You can eat so that your face is flushed and your forehead is sweating.

"Third boy, why didn't your fourth uncle come back?"

Seeing that Mo Zisong was eating in a hurry, Mrs. Liu said angrily, "There are noodle soup at home, eat slowly, and you won't be afraid of choking."

"Mother, this noodle soup is definitely not your skill, you can't roll it so hard."

Mo Zisong ate happily, but was slapped on the head by Mrs. Liu, "My noodles are not good, how did you eat them before?"

Qingli drank tea and listened to the third brother's description of Muyang's situation. It was the same as what Sun Wen and Sun Wu said. The army needs to be stationed there to stabilize the people's hearts. There is no conclusion yet on whether there will be a war or not. It will have to wait for the new emperor to decide.

The weather in Muyang is warm now, and he doesn't need to wear jackets. Mo Zisong made friends with a few brothers in the military camp. Prepare souvenirs for him.

Those who can come to be soldiers, most of them are not in good condition at home, and my brothers didn’t save much money, and spent it on him, bought some gadgets, and a large piece of air-dried lamb chops, which tasted very good.In fact, there were still things like water and wine, and he was inconvenient, so he drank them all with Lin Fengche on the way.

The fourth uncle Mo Ruhai wanted to prepare some New Year's gifts when he heard that he was coming back, but Mo Zisong refused, because the house was full of everything, so he hurried on his way without taking a carriage, besides, Mo Zisong also knew that almost all of the fourth uncle's money was spent on On the soldier, he figured that maybe the fourth aunt didn't know, it was private money.

"How long can you stay this time?"

Mrs. Liu heard that the battle in Muyang was not over, and her face was full of worry. The three boys had been away for more than half a year. This war will not be subdued for three or five years. Didn't it delay the marriage again? Besides, there are no eyes on the battlefield. As a mother, her heart is hanging on every day.

"I'm leaving after the fifteenth day. There's nothing serious going on in the south now. Fourth Uncle Rang and Lin Fengche will stay for a few more days."

Mo Zisong talked about the battle in the south, and tried to pick up the best ones. He didn't mention the situation of being slaughtered. Mother is a gentle woman. Hearing that it was so miserable, she was afraid that she would die of fear.

"Little sister, fourth uncle is right, you have really changed. Thanks to your third brother's cleverness, he can still recognize you."

When it came to the war, the atmosphere was gloomy, Mo Zisong quickly changed the subject, and mentioned a few things about Qingli's childhood, only then did his parents smile, and began to urge him again and again.

Everyone chatted for a few words, seeing Mo Zisong's tired face, it was hard to go on, Mammy Yu spread the quilt in the third brother's room, fell asleep again, and let him wash up by himself.

When I woke up on the morning of the New Year's Eve, the snow in the courtyard was already very thick.Early in the morning, the family had dinner, only the third brother, who couldn't wake up, and fell asleep on the kang, and his parents were distressed, so they asked Qingli to watch at home. They took Grandma Cui and others in advance, Go to uncle's house to help.

Every year, the New Year's Eve dinner on the [-]th is the highlight, and there is no shortage of chicken, duck, fish and meat at home.With the ingredients, what we are looking for is the color and taste of the dishes. The family has studied it a long time ago. Now, in the past, I start to get busy in the morning, frying some meatballs, sweet potato cubes, glutinous rice and sesame balls, etc., as snacks for the children at home.

"Fourth sister, third brother hasn't woken up yet."

The younger brother waited at home for a while, and took Qingli to listen to a few stories. He and Nianyang made an appointment to see some little rabbits raised by his uncle. It is very beautiful, with white fur, dark circles under the eyes, the aunt is still muttering, this rabbit is not like a hare, but like a pet rabbit raised by the girls in the city, one is worth a few taels of silver.

"Yeah, I'm waiting at home, you go to uncle's first."

Except for Qingli, the family did not part with the third brother for too long. Qingli sat in the third brother's room drinking tea and waiting for him to wake up. He must have not slept for two or three days on the way, otherwise he would not have come back so soon .

It's another New Year's Eve. I don't know how the big camp in Pingyang City celebrates the New Year. The logistics and military supplies have been prepared early. I heard from the guard Fang that this year they will be concentrated on the battlefield. There will be archery competitions, and the winners Soldiers will receive New Year's blessing bags from Qingli.

There are everything in the lucky bag, some are gold and silver zippers, some are exquisite daggers, and the worst are candies and dried fruits, which are distributed according to the ranking. I heard that the soldiers are very enthusiastic. After training, they will also practice archery.

"Ah, this sleep is so comfortable!"
