Dressed as a blacksmith

The steamed cakes just out of the pot were more fragrant than the steamed cakes that Yu Shanwen and Yu Shanwu brothers took out. The second pot was sold out and packed with leaves that Yu Shanwen found.

Qiao Yuan gave a penny each to Yu Shanwen, Yu Shanwu, who had made meritorious service, and Brother Liu who carefully fed the chickens today. Yu Shanwu and Brother Liu took it with a smile, but Yu Shanwen refused to take it. It's your wages, get some leaves tomorrow."

Yu Shanwen nodded embarrassingly, and accepted it.

Qiao Yuan thought that he had been busy all morning, and his "husband" Yu Dameng hadn't eaten yet, so he prepared some batter, "Mom, I'll make some more, and steam it when Dameng... and Dad come back!"

Seeing that Qiao Yuan took Yu Dameng seriously, Lin Cuifen disagreed, "You can cook whatever you want in the future, don't ask me."

Qiao Yuan got the right to use the kitchen, and he was freer. He cooked lunch for the few of them, and Lin Cuifen still helped him in the kitchen.

"Mom, how do Da Meng and Dad eat in the city at noon?"

"Buy some buns or eat a bowl of noodles, deal with it."

As soon as Qiao Yuan heard it, he remembered Yu Dameng's astonishing appetite in the morning. He might not be able to eat enough for a single meal. "What does Dameng usually like to eat?"

Lin Cuifen laughed all of a sudden, "My children, Dameng is the most worry-free. They never choose food, and it is best to feed them. However, if you say that your favorite food, it must be meat!"

While talking, Lin Cuifen let out a long sigh, "But your father and I are most sorry for him..."

Qiao Yuan knew that this probably meant that Yu Dameng, who was only 14 years old at the time, was required to serve in the military, although people in ancient times could get married at fifteen or sixteen.But from Qiao Yuan's point of view, at the age of 14, he was still a half-grown boy, and the border was so difficult. For six years, he didn't know how Yu Dameng survived.

He couldn't say much about it, so he had to coax Lin Cuifen to be happy, "Mom, let's eat meat tonight!" He said with pride, "I'm treating you!"

Lin Cuifen was instantly amused by him, "You haven't warmed up the money yet, how can I let you spend it! I'll go to Zhang Butcher's house early tomorrow to have a look."

Butcher Zhang lives in Xianhe Village. Every day before dawn, he kills pigs, and then takes them to the city to sell.But it is hot now, the meat is not easy to preserve, and it is not necessarily killed every day.

Xianhe Village is a village relatively close to Yunshui County, and it can be reached by walking for half an hour.But there is a curfew in the city at Xu time, so Father Yu and Yu Dameng usually go home at You time when they are not busy, so there is no need to rush to prepare dinner.

Qiao Yuan sat under the pergola to enjoy the cool air, lazily and comfortably, without the pressure of modern fast-paced and introverted life at all.Before falling asleep, Qiao Yuan thought, it would be great if there was a reclining chair.

On the other side, in the iron shop.

Because of Yu Dameng's marriage, the shop has not opened for several days. Uncle Li on the East Street needs to mend an axe, and Aunt Wang on the West Street wants to marry a daughter with an iron pot as a dowry... Accumulated a lot of work, Father Yu and Yu Dameng spent a whole morning None of them are idle.

These uncles and aunts thought that Yu Dameng's big man was scary at first, but after getting to know him a lot, they got a clear idea of ​​his temperament, and when they knew that he was newly married, they made jokes one after another.

"Damn, how is your new husband?"

"Bring it another day and show us!"

"I originally wanted to tell you about my nephew, but I didn't expect you to get married so soon!"

When mentioning Fulang, Yu Dameng stammered, "Yes...it's pretty good."

Just look down on him!Yu Dameng thought aggrievedly.

Dinner is cabbage vermicelli stewed in lard, thick oil and red sauce, which is very fragrant even without meat.

Father Yu and Yu Dameng smelled the aroma as soon as they walked to the entrance of the village, and they were wondering whose stewed meat was so fragrant, but the smell became stronger as they walked towards their house, and their pace quickened unconsciously.

"Mother, brother Yuan, father and third brother are back!"

The dishes are simmering, so there is no need to keep looking at the stove.As soon as Qiao Yuan heard that Yu Dameng was back, he immediately brought the newly made cake to Yu Dameng, "Try it!"

After cleaning his hands, Yu Dameng picked up the cake and stuffed it into his mouth, bulging and saying: "It's delicious!"

"I made money with it today!" Qiao Yuan said happily, and suddenly saw Father Yu behind Yu Dameng, and immediately put the basket in front of Father Yu in embarrassment, "Father, you eat too."

Father Yu ate a piece of hair cake, and commented very sincerely: "It tastes really good."

Brother Liu over there has already started rambling about how the fourth and fifth brothers bullied Brother Yuan today, not even letting him see the pigs, how Brother Yuan loved him, made delicious snacks for him, and how they sold them in the end Qian Tongtong said it again.Qiao Yuan was ashamed of himself, he admired Brother Liu's expressive ability.

Hearing this, Yu Dameng gave the twin brothers a fierce look, and gave the other a slap, "Don't do this to my husband!"

Qiao Yuan happily watched the play, it felt really good to have someone backing her up.

The two were chatting, Yu Dameng stretched his hand into the basket again, and was patted lightly by Qiao Yuan, "Don't eat, we will eat right away."

"Oh." Yu Dameng withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

The two of them didn't speak any more, Qiao Yuan looked up at the sky, there were only slightly blue clouds, scattered scattered clouds, the sounds of chickens pecking and flapping wings mixed with the sounds of children playing, sitting beside him Qiao Yuan felt unreal, and suddenly felt that everything was like a dream.

"Brother Yuan, is this dish ready to cook?"

Lin Cuifen asked, and brought Qiao Yuan back to reality, and hurriedly stuffed the basket into Yu Dameng's hands and entered the kitchen.

Yu Dameng looked at Qiao Yuan's busy figure, then glanced at the fat cake in his arms and muttered, "It's nice to have a husband."

It was still daylight, and dinner was served in the courtyard. The whole family was lively and lively, really cozy!

After the meal, Father Yu and Lin Cuifen went to collect firewood at the foot of the mountain together, Yu Dameng hurried in and out to fetch water, Yu Shanwen, Yu Shanwu and Brother Liu didn't know where they went crazy.

In such a big yard, Qiao Yuan was left alone for a while. After working all day, his body was sticky and greasy, so Qiao Yuan thought about going to the two suitcases where the original body was dowry to find a change of clothes.

It's just that he didn't expect that there were actually two super large stones in the box.

In this era, generous marriages are emphasized. Brothers and daughters usually have ironware, kitchen utensils, bedding, shoes, socks and clothes as dowry when they get married. The more dowries, the more confident they will be in the husband's family, although the uncle who knew the original body would not dowry What a good thing, but putting rocks in a box like this is so contemptuous.

Qiao Yuan didn't believe in evil, and wanted to see the box below, but the two stones were too heavy. Qiao Yuan moved for a long time and couldn't move it, so he had to wait for Yu Dameng to come back to help.

The second box is also the ratio of stones stuffed under the old clothes. They are all the clothes in the original body. Qiao Yuan picked them up and gestured.

It can be seen what kind of life the original body has lived for so many years, Qiao Yuan is a little sad, thinking about the day when he should go to the temple to offer incense, and pray for the original owner to find a good family in the next life.

Yu Dameng also realized what was going on, and said quickly, "I'll buy you a new one."

Qiao Yuan smiled slightly, without thinking, "Why waste that money? You can still wear it."

It's just that Qiao Yuan really didn't know who matched whom for each piece, and fell into confusion for a while.

......

Yu Dameng stood guard at the door of the bedroom, and when he thought that his husband was taking a bath inside, he panicked with embarrassment.There was a slight movement in the room, and his heart skipped a beat.

Father Yu was at home, Qiao Yuan couldn't go out after taking a shower, and Yu Dameng was responsible for the aftermath.Men are rough, just flush it in the toilet and it's over.

When Yu Dameng returned to the room, Qiao Yuan was lazily lying on the bed drying his hair in his middle coat, his trouser legs and sleeves were all rolled up, wishing he could wear nothing at all.Yu Dameng blushed, looked away and lowered his head to make his own bed honestly.

Qiao Yuan heard the movement, and didn't invite him to bed this time, and put down his trouser legs silently, holding back.

At this time, it was still early, so Qiao Yuan pestered Yu Dameng to chat.

"I heard other people in my family speak without an accent. Why do you always like to talk about me?"

Yu Dameng laughed foolishly and said: "Because there is a Zhongzhou man in the team, he speaks like this, I...I have been led by him for a long time, and I will also be like this."

"Where is the border? What is it like?"

"In the northwest, it's very cold in winter and very windy in spring and autumn."

Qiao Yuan then asked: "Then what are you doing at the border?"

"In the beginning, I built city walls and reclaimed wasteland. Later, when there was a war, I went to the battlefield. Later, the major general saw that I could repair iron, so he asked me to do this in the weapon workshop."

"War?" Qiao Yuan sat up from the bed in a jerk. From the information obtained from the original body's memory, he speculated that the villagers near Xianhe Village should have more than enough food and clothing, and it's not a problem to see meat occasionally.He took it for granted that the dynasty should be stable, and he didn't expect that there would be wars, and he didn't expect that people who had personally experienced the wars were in front of him, so close.

"Yeah." Yu Dameng replied lightly, feeling resentful in retrospect, "Hu people in the northwest border have committed crimes for years, and every year when the grain harvest is bumper, they will ride big horses to rob, rob money, rob grain, and kidnap women and brothers. brute!"

In the era of cold weapons, all battles depended on hand-to-hand combat. Qiao Yuan felt a chill in his heart, and felt afraid for Yu Dameng.

Seeing his face change, Yu Dameng was annoyed why he said that this made Brother Yuan afraid, and hurriedly said: "The year before last, we signed a truce with Huzi. Now, the world is peaceful, don't be afraid."

Qiao Yuan asked Yu Dameng some more questions, and gradually relaxed.Fortunately, except for the barbarians on the border, the world is still unified. If you live in the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms, where there are constant battles for years and the dynasty often changes hands, you will be really dead.

The two talked about other things, gradually lost their voices, and fell asleep.
