Bianshanhan [farming]

The group arrived in the capital in June, and Li Qinghong was very happy to see them, after all, it had been a long time since they had seen each other.

Ma Yongjiang and the others also lived in the courtyard of Dongcheng. It was the first time they saw so many people in the Yangxiezi hot pot restaurant. They all washed their faces and wanted to try it.

Because there were no empty tables in the shop, they ate in the back room. No matter whether it was mutton bones or seasonings, none of them were bad. The mutton bones eaten by more than a dozen people went down pot after pot, and they enjoyed eating one by one.

I heard that Yangxiezi Hot Pot is about to open a third restaurant, and Ma Yongjiang asked when it will be available in Border Town and Hongzhou.

It’s okay to talk about Border Town, tell mother and aunt the ingredients, and make it at home if you want to eat it, but Hongzhou is a bit difficult.

On the second day after he came back, Li Qingwen didn't see his second brother coming back, thinking that Dali Temple was busy, so he only asked.

Li Qinghong said that he had gone to Qizhou on business, and not long after Li Qingwen and Jiang Cong left, the second brother left without saying when he would be back.

Hearing this, the bowl of honey water in Li Qingwen's hand fell to the ground at once. After a crisp sound, the bowl was smashed into pieces, and the honey water was scattered all over the floor.

"Where did you go?" Li Qingwen asked.

"Qizhou." Li Qinghong looked at him in confusion, "Zaier, what's the matter?"

"On our way back, we heard that there was an epidemic in Qizhou." Li Qingwen felt a little tight in his chest, although he tried his best to persuade himself that the second brother might not be so unlucky.

Li Qinghong was stunned, and soon became afraid. He had been in the capital and hadn't heard of this.

Epidemics are terrible things. Once this disease is found in many places, not one household in ten, one village or one town may not be spared.

Li Qingwen and Li Qinghong were going to Qizhou immediately. When Jiang Cong knew about it, he went to Dali Temple first. He wanted to find out where Li Qingzhuo had gone to Qizhou. It would be easier for them to find someone.

However, the people from Dali Temple said that Li Qingzhuo went to Qingzhou, and he left in February. According to reason, he should have returned earlier, but he has not returned for some reason.

Qingzhou and Qizhou are next to each other, but why did you tell your family that you were going to Qizhou when you obviously went to Qingzhou to collect the case files?

Although I don't understand, this is not the time when Jiang Cong, Li Qingwen and the others leave the city again.

Qizhou is in the east, and it can be reached in six or seven days by traveling from the capital at night.

However, they had only been walking for four days, and the road ahead was blocked, with every step and every post, it was very strict, and neither people nor horses could pass through.

Seeing this, Li Qingwen panicked even more.

Obviously, something really happened in Qizhou, that's why people inside were prevented from coming out, and people outside were prevented from entering.

Jiang Cong went to inquire, but the officers and soldiers remained silent.

Just when they were about to take a detour, Ma Yongjiang and the others chased up from behind, saying that it was Li Qingzhuo who had returned.

Li Qingwen immediately turned his horse's head and returned to the capital. The moment he saw his second brother, the string in his head was released.

After a false alarm, Li Qingwen couldn't help asking: "Second brother, didn't you go to Qingzhou to pick up things, why did you go to Qizhou?"

"Go to Qizhou on the way to do something." Li Qingzhuo knew that his family was worried about him, so he explained: "I didn't make it clear to surprise you."

In the past few days, Li Qingwen was indeed frightened, but seeing people behaved well, he gradually recovered.

Li Qinghong also asked him if he had suffered from the disease in Qizhou. Li Qingzhuo only said that it was still early when he came out and the disease had not yet spread.

Although Li Qingzhuo's incident made them terrified for a while, but soon, the Li family also had a happy event - Li Qinghong was about to get engaged, and the other party was Lu Xuening who he helped on the way to incense twice.

The Lu family moved to the capital a few years ago. Lu Xuening had an older brother who was studying. Like Li Qingzhuo, he also went to the temple to pray for his elder brother before the exam, so there was a fate between the two of them.

Marriage engagement is a major event, and it should be agreed upon by the Li family and the Lu family, but the Li family's elders are all in the border town, so it's a bit troublesome.

The Lu family is quite reasonable, and because they are very satisfied with Li Qinghong, Lu Xuening's father and brother are willing to go to the border city to discuss this matter, so Li Qingwen, Jiang Cong and others, together with Li Qinghong and a few people from the Lu family, are ready, Depart from the capital together and return to the border town by boat.

Before leaving, they bought a piece of land on the side of the road in the outskirts of the city, about two or three acres in size. It was on the main road south of the capital, not far from various private schools, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

This piece of land was bought from several sellers. It used to be all kinds of resting teahouses or restaurants. They were bought together and knocked down. The ones facing the street were still built as hot pot shops. Li Qingwen planned to use the land behind. Houses were built to provide food and lodging for pedestrians and nearby scholars.

When saying goodbye, Su Yuanbao burst into tears, crying and wanted to go to the border town with Li Qingwen, but it was too far away and too hard, Li Qingwen didn't want him to suffer, and only said that when he grew up, he would definitely bring him here.

In the end, Su Yubao bought a lot of meat for Li Qingwen to bring to the dogs.

Of course, when we left, the meat was salted and made into jerky, or it would stink within a day.

After shopping, the group was sent to the pier and boarded the boat.

The boat leading to Linsu was still busy with the boat boss and the others. Because they were familiar with each other, Li Qingwen and the others were no longer as cautious as before. Jiang Cong helped pull the sails, and Li Qingwen grilled fish on a clay stove.

The Lu family is a guest, so if there is any good food, they will naturally come to them. Although the eldest brother of the Lu family is a scholar, he is not pedantic.

Jiang Cong and the others did not take the boat for nothing. They bought a lot of things in the capital for the boat boss and the others.

Because the results haven't come out yet, Li Qingwen doesn't have to bury his head in studying for the time being. During these days on the boat, he changed the way to eat, not only the delicious food that Ma Yongjiang and the others tasted again, but also the other people on the boat. The craftsmanship is full of praise.

The same fish, Li Qingwen just sprinkled some powder, it became very delicious, which is really remarkable.

This is the role of seasoning, Li Qingwen promised that when he went back, he would just grind two bags of spice powder and bring them over, so that they could eat something with the same taste on the boat in the future.

There are two cages on the bow where chickens are raised. It is unbearable to eat sea food for a long time at sea, because there is always a sea breeze blowing, but there is no bad smell, but it is a little noisy.

When we were talking together, we realized that Linsu had changed the person in charge, although the exiles still went to sea, but not as frequently as before, and finally they could breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know what to say about those people who fled to Linsu. The crew said that some people returned to Beicheng. Among them, Li Qingwen and Li Qinghong heard familiar names, but they didn't ask about others.

The days of leisure are always very short. They arrived in Linsu, and after disembarking, they changed into chariots and horses.

The members of the Lu family don't know how to ride horses, so of course they have to take a car. They were all amazed when they saw the magnificent wilderness in the north. Li Qinghong was by his side to take care of them. Be thorough.

Although Li Qingwen went to and from the border town many times, he seldom walked around this season, most of the time it was snowing, seeing everything around him, he felt a little nostalgic.

After they reached the dense forest, they could see neat young trees on both sides of the road. Hearing that these were planted by Li Qingwen and the others, the Lu family was shocked.

They thought that surviving in this kind of place was not easy, but they didn't expect to be able to put in such hard work, which is really admirable.

Before seeing the shadow of the border town, they first encountered Li Qingfeng and a group of big dogs on the way.

Li Qingwen had heard from the fourth brother that he had bought hundreds of goats at Anyang Pass, and seeing so many goats with his own eyes, he still felt that there were a lot of goats.

He said it was herding sheep, but in fact Li Qingfeng was sleeping in the grass, and a group of dogs were watching the sheep.

It's been a while since Ma Yongjiang and the others left the border town. When they saw Li Qingfeng again, they were so excited that they hugged each other.

There were guests at home, Li Qingfeng didn't continue to go south, blowing the whistle, the big dogs immediately started to drive the sheep back.

In addition to pulling snow carts, the dogs of the Chatu tribe also help drive deer and herd sheep. They were trained by Li Qingfeng.

On the way back, I met a lot of villagers. When they saw them, they would stop and run over to say hello. Lightning had already run back to report the news, so just as Li Qingwen arrived at the door, the big dog had already killed all the Li family members who were working in the field. "Called" back.

It was a surprise for Ma Yongjiang and the others to return to the border town, but Li Qingwen and Li Qinghong also went home together.

Then, when she heard about the identity of the Lu family, the Chen family was even more delighted from ear to ear. This is three blessings.

The Li family were all overjoyed, they warmly entertained the guests from afar, Li Qingwen hugged his little niece and watched his sister-in-law make tea.

Listening to the lively conversation about the two marriages in the front room, Li Qingwen thought that if his parents were willing, the Li family would not only have more daughters-in-law, but also more sons today.

After thinking about it, Li Qingwen didn't dare to reveal the matter between himself and Jiang Cong on a day like this.

It stands to reason that the Li family should go to the Lu family first to get married. The reason why the Lu family came all the way to the border town is because they want to see what the Li family is like. Marrying a daughter should be more careful.

Although the journey was tiring and hard, this trip was not in vain. The Li family's children and elders were all trustworthy people. This marriage made them more satisfied than before.

After Li Maoxian and Li Qingrui were drinking with the guests, Mrs. Chen came to the Westinghouse and talked with her youngest son.

When asked about going to Hongzhou, it was unavoidable to mention that many people got married. Mrs. Chen couldn't help sighing, reading has delayed your brother's marriage.

Lying on the familiar kang, Li Qingwen silently thought, the second brother is the one, and reading by himself has not missed the important events of his life.
