The little sweetheart of the rough family

On the high walls, banners and flags fluttered.

A large area of ​​desolation was shrouded in thick sand and dust, covering the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see.

The young soldier guarding the city spit and complained in his voice.

"Damn ghost weather,? There are always sandstorms for several days in this season every year."

The elderly soldier on the side laughed twice, "Where did you go? After a while, after the shift, go back and shake your quilt, and you can shake out a handful of fine sand."

It was still early, and the sky was dark and dark.

"Huh? Take a look, is there someone in the dust?"

The young soldier reached out and pulled the veteran beside him.

The veteran drooped his eyelids, and continued to lean against the wall to rest, without even looking at it, "Don't make such a fuss,? Mirages are most likely to occur in such weather."

But no matter how realistic the mirage is, the sound cannot be faked.

When the deafening sound of horseshoes came, the veteran woke up suddenly, and sent a signal without hesitation.

"kill!"

......

Longmen Town.

The sound of firecrackers and music has never stopped since dawn.

Today is a day of great joy that has never been seen in this town. Two couples got married at the same time.

The pair are Sun Erde and Mrs. Xu. Although both of them have been married before, this time it was held in a grand manner. It was more dignified than other people's first marriage.

The other pair are Dachun and Wei Kun.

Dachun's mother died early, and his father was so virtuous, so the mayor and his wife, Aunt Zhang, became Dachun's natal family. As for Wei Kun, because he had no father or mother, Zhao Hou was entrusted with the responsibility. In-law's representative.

Taking Zhao Hou and Cheng Yanping's wedding banquet as an example, this time they also set up a running banquet.

The autumn breeze is cool, and the sweet osmanthus fragrant.

After a whole day of commotion, the crowd still refused to disperse. Sun Erde is a native of Longmen Town, unlike Cheng Yanping. They came halfway. Make a bridal chamber.

He made a fuss, Wei Kun took the opportunity to sneak back with his wife.

Everywhere in the new house was bright red, the red quilts, the red characters for happiness, and the red tents. Under the illumination of the lights, it looked even more festive. Everyone surrounded Sun Erde and Mrs. Xu.

Someone tied an apple with a string and stood on the table.

As soon as he stood up, he was pulled down, and the apple was replaced with red dates.

The person standing on the table was holding one end of the thin thread, and Sun Erde and Mrs. Xu were standing alone. The person sang and said, "I'll count one, two, three, and you can eat red dates together."

Everyone counted together, and the sound "three" has not been completely dropped.

The man played tricks and lifted the thin thread up ahead of time.

"boom!"

The teeth touched each other, and sister-in-law Xu's tears were about to flow out of pain. She reached out and twisted Sun Erde's waist, "Just eat a jujube, why do you have to use so much force?"

Sun Erde grinned, apologizing in haste to coax his new daughter-in-law.

The crowd laughed.

Zhao Hou carefully protected Cheng Yanping in his arms, preventing him from being squeezed by the people behind.

Someone found a thin-necked bottle from outside, and put a chopstick in it.

"This is a test of your tacit understanding as a new couple. The two of you are not allowed to use your hands, and you are not allowed to be helped by others. You must press your tongue against your tongue, and use your tongue to take out the chopsticks."

Everyone clapped their hands and booed.

Xu's sister-in-law is not the kind of person who can't let go, and she drank some wine today, and seeing everyone so happy, she agreed, but Sun Erde was a little bit twitchy.

"Liniang, it's strange for outsiders to watch the things in the room."

Sister-in-law Xu gave him a blank look, "You can do what you tell me to do. Where did all this nonsense come from!" As she spoke, she grabbed Sun Erde by the collar, and the two of them squatted next to the bottle, one on the left and the other on the right.

Don't look simple, but it's really not easy for two people to work together to take the chopsticks out of the flask.

In the end, both of them were sweating profusely. Sun Erde took advantage of people's inattention and played tricks, and then barely passed this hurdle.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sun Erde thought about driving people away.

A spring night is worth a thousand dollars, and today is his bridal chamber wedding night, so people like them can't let it go to waste.

Someone else suggested, "Let's play the last one and roll the egg. If Erde's daughter-in-law can take out the egg intact, then we will all be separated. The big guy said it is not."

Sister-in-law Xu is not the type to wait for tweaking, so she agreed again.

While talking, someone brought a raw egg over, and the person on the side explained: "Daughter-in-law Erde, after a while you roll the egg from Erde's left trouser leg to the right trouser leg. .”

Sister-in-law Xu smiled and said, "I know all this, so I still need you to teach me?" As she spoke, she stuffed the egg into Sun Erde's trouser leg.

The egg was a little cool against the skin, and Sun Erde lay on the bed like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Sister-in-law Xu did have some kung fu, but the kung fu of the half-stick incense was successfully completed.

The crowd was still unsatisfied, and wanted to make trouble again, but Sun Erde kicked them out.

It was late at night, and there was a chill in the air.

Cheng Yanping was afraid of the cold, and consciously got into Zhao Hou's arms, even his voice was muffled.

"Zhao Hou, you said when we got married, why wasn't there such a fun thing?"

The bridal chamber tonight was extraordinarily interesting.

Zhao Hou thought about it, and the corners of his mouth raised high.

"If you like Yanyan, how about we play it again when we get home later?"

Cheng Yanping anxiously said, "When did I say I'm going to play again, I'm just watching for fun!"

Zhao Hou ignored his words.

Except that there was no one to help pull the red dates, he took Cheng Yanping to do it one by one, picking up chopsticks with his tongue and rolling eggs.

.....

The next day, the sky was overcast.

Cheng Yanping was attending class in the school, and from a distance, he saw the mayor walking over quickly with a serious face.

"Uncle Zhang, what happened?"

The mayor nodded, frowning.

"Something happened, something big happened. I heard from the people in the next door village that Mobei invaded a few days ago. Instead of resisting, the prefect of Liangzhou opened the city gate and let the Mobei people into the city. He has always been cruel, and the people of Liangzhou City are pitiful..."

Cheng Yanping was stunned for a long time before recovering.

"But really?"

The mayor sighed helplessly, "Why isn't it true? The man from the next village escaped from Liangzhou City. Since the people from Mobei have occupied Liangzhou City, I'm afraid they will kill us in Longmen Town soon. .”

With his hands behind his back, he walked quickly towards the outside.

"No, I have to go and say hello to the people in the town. If it doesn't work, we'll all hide in the mountains, and we'll come back when the Mobei people leave."

Cheng Yanping chased after him and stopped him.

"Uncle Zhang, is this news absolutely true? The Wei'an army has been guarding the border area. Even if Liangzhou prefect is stupid, Zhou Yuanlang probably won't..."

The mayor's face turned pale with anxiety.

"Now that the rebels have occupied Jinling City, they are confronting the old emperor from north to south. They only have the throne in their eyes, so they don't care about the life and death of our boss."

As he spoke, he was about to go door-to-door to notify, but was pulled back by Cheng Yanping.

"If the frontier wants to be stable, one person must come out of the mountain."

There was a brief moment of confusion in the mayor's eyes. After realizing it, he slapped Cheng Yanping's thigh and pushed Cheng Yanping away, "I'll take care of the rest of the class for you. Go to your house. Apart from you, there must be no one in this world." People can talk to him."

When Cheng Yanping returned home, Zhao Hou was chopping firewood.

The firewood was picked up from Xiaocang Mountain, and it was going to be winter soon. There were many rainy and snowy days in the winter, and Cheng Yanping was afraid of the cold. This year's firewood was more than double that of previous years.

Beads of sweat hung on Zhao Hou's face. Seeing him, he asked suspiciously: "You are not in the school at this time, why are you back?"

Cheng Yanping trotted into his arms, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist.

"I just miss you a little bit!"

Zhao Hou's hands were a little dirty, and he opened them vaguely.

"Did someone bully you? Or the students are disobedient, you tell me, I will clean them up for you."

Cheng Yanping shook his head.

"Zhao Hou, something happened in the frontier."

As soon as the words fell, he clearly felt the man's body tense up.

Before he appeared, Wei Anjun was Zhao Hou's possession, and he knew that he would be reluctant to part with it, and he would definitely feel worried.

"The frontier needs you!" Zhao Hou pursed his lips and did not speak.

Cheng Yanping rubbed against his arms, and said softly: "Mobei's army has occupied Liangzhou City now, for me, for so many lovely and kind people in Longmen Town, go, okay?"

Zhao Hou stretched out his hand to hold the person in his arms, and it took a long time before he responded coldly.

"Okay, I'll go!"

Zhao Hou has always been decisive in his actions, he promised Cheng Yanping to protect the peace of the border area, patted Cheng Yanping on the back, and went straight to find Sun Erde to discuss countermeasures.

Looking at the back of the man striding forward, Cheng Yanping didn't know whether he was more worried or relieved.

He entered the house, took out the needle and thread basket, and took out the unfinished padded jacket.

A few days ago, Zhao Hou said that the winter in the frontier was long and cold, which gave him time to make some thick padded jackets. Cheng Yanping thought that he would have nothing to do, so he bought some fabrics and collected some new cotton this year. Going to do two by myself.

Although he is not very good at needlework, he is much better than Zhao Hou.

When his fingertips touched the cotton material, Cheng Yanping suddenly wanted to thank him for pestering the maids to teach him how to sew when he had nothing to do in the mansion, and now Zhao Hou was about to go to the battlefield.

He has nothing else to give him, but to give him a padded jacket made by himself.

It took Zhao Hou a day to go, and it was already midnight when he came back.

The room was dimly lit, and Cheng Yanping by the table was sitting with his head bowed and sewing, looking demure and beautiful, when he heard footsteps outside, he raised his head and smiled at him.

"I'm back. When did I leave?"

Zhao Hou said in a deep voice, "Leave early tomorrow morning."

Cheng Yanping was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be so fast, it was so fast that there was no time for him to prepare.

A gust of wind blew in, and his eyes suddenly became astringent.

"It's...not bad...there's still time, this jacket is almost finished."

He lowered his head, raised the clothes in his hands, and compared them to Zhao Hou's body.

Seeing his state like this, Zhao Hou felt very uncomfortable, and wished he could say no more, no matter what happened to him, he just cared about protecting his banquet and living a good life for the two of them.

He stretched out his arms and put him in his arms.

"I promise you, I'll be back soon."

Cheng Yanping gave a vague "Yes", put his face on his heart, and said: "You are different from before, but you have become a family member. Remember to protect yourself when you go to the battlefield. If when you come back, let me see that you have new wounds on your body, I will not allow you to enter the house..."

He was talking in a rambling, soft voice.

Zhao Hou agreed and smiled wryly.

"Are you willing to let me in?"

That night, neither of them slept.

Cheng Yanping packed his bags for him, although Zhao Hou said everything was simple, but he packed two big bags in a daze, a change of clothes, various snacks and food, etc.

Zhao Hou couldn't help but smile bitterly, he held up two bundles and said: "If my subordinates see this, they will definitely laugh at me."

Cheng Yanping didn't care about that much.

The quilted jacket was just short of the collar, and Cheng Yanping picked up the scissors, cut off a small strand of hair, and sewed it into the jacket. When it was finished, Zhao Hou couldn't wait to put it on.

"Think of me more when you go out!"

Zhao Hou nodded.

Cheng Yanping felt that thinking about him too much would definitely distract Zhao Hou, so he quickly changed his words, "Just think about me when you're not busy."

Zhao Hou nodded again, this time his eyes felt clouded and uncomfortable.

Cheng Yanping went to the kitchen, Zhao Hou wanted to follow, but was stopped.

"You are leaving. Although I don't know how to cook, I still know how to make noodles. After a while, if you eat the noodles I cooked with my own hands, it will be regarded as me doing it for you."

He walked a few steps, then turned back and said, "When you leave at dawn, I won't see you off. I'm sleepy after staying up all night." He yawned as he spoke.

The noodles are ready soon.

Served in a large bowl, the soup is clear, the noodles are firm, and three fried eggs are piled on top.

Zhao Hou ate with a heavy mouth.

Cheng Yanping sat aside, talking with him.

"This time you go, don't worry about the family, I will take care of the vegetable field. It's good to have Dahuang and Xiaohe with me at home, and Huahua and the students... "

Before the noodles were finished, Sun Erde's urging voice came from outside.

Zhao Hou ate the rest in two bites, then raised his hand to wipe his mouth.

"Yanyan, I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, he strode outside, he was afraid that even if he took a step slower or took one more look, he would want to stay.

The house was quiet again.

The tears Cheng Yanping held back finally fell.

The sound of horseshoes outside became more and more distant.

Cheng Yanping couldn't hold back in the end, and chased after him. He chased the dust and the silhouette in the dark night until he reached the gate of the town.

Seeing that the shadows of a group of people were about to disappear from sight, he cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted with all the strength in his life.

"Zhao Hou, I'll wait for you to come back at home! You must come back, come back early!"

"come back earlier......"

"come......"

The echoes of the wilderness blow far away with the wind.

Zhao Hou tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and looked in the direction of Longmen Town, even though the sky was still dark and misty.

But he still saw clearly.

Cheng Yanping, who was guarding the door, had a gentle smile on his lips.

A big yellow dog was lying at his feet, and a black cat with green eyes nestled in his arms.

That is his home.

His and Cheng Yanping's home!
