"Er Zhu, Brother Hui, Lian'er..."

At the entrance of Huangjia Village, Aunt Erzhu and Aunt Bold were waiting at the entrance of the village early.

Last night, Uncle Erzhu, Uncle Boldness, Huang Tinghui, and Lian'er stayed away all night, which made these women very anxious.

Now I see Huang Tinghui and others returning safely.

Aunt Erzhu and Aunt Bold breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as they were safe, that would be great.

"Two pillars!"

Aunt Erzhu sniffed. At this time, Aunt Erzhu, who was usually quite capable, showed a rare fragility.

"it's okay no problem!"

"Look at us, don't we look good?"

Uncle Erzhu walked around in front of his aunt and said to her with a smile.

"It's good, it's good!"

Aunt Erzhu smiled.

"Let's go, the old patriarch got some sheep, and our family also got some mutton."

"This is good stuff, let's go cook this mutton!" Aunt Erzhu said to Uncle Erzhu.

mutton?

Hearing what his wife said, Erzhushu almost cried out.

In this era, mutton is expensive and pork is cheap.

Wealthy people rarely eat meat like pork, and most of them choose mutton.

Compared with pork, mutton meat is more delicious and tender.

"Mother, do we want to eat mutton?" Huang Tinghui's cousin asked, tilting his head.

“Eat mutton!”

"I'll give you more to eat then!"

Aunt Erzhu rubbed her son's head and said to him with a smile.

"Eat mutton, eat mutton!"

Aunt Erzhu's son jumped and said.

"Brother Hui, Lian'er, bold, lotus..."

"You guys come together too!" Aunt Erzhu said to several people.

Aunt Bold and Bold's family often go to Aunt Erzhu's house to eat, and their family also gets a share of the mutton.

Therefore, they were not polite. Huang Tingting knew that Uncle Erzhu and Aunt Erzhu were taking care of him, so naturally he had nothing to say.

But the little girl lowered her head slightly. She felt very guilty and said to Aunt Erzhu: "Auntie, I'm sorry!"

"Nothing is wrong, I'm sorry, we are all one family."

"Since we are a family, we should help each other."

Aunt Erzhu also rubbed the little girl's head and said to the little girl with a smile.

Before the little girl got married, she did her makeup at her home, treating her home as her "natal home".

In the eyes of Aunt Erzhu, Wu Feilian is almost like her "daughter".

So how could she blame this kind and simple little girl?

"Let's go, let's go!" Aunt Erzhu took the little girl's hand and walked towards her home.

The crowd also followed Aunt Erzhu towards home.

…

The New Year is approaching, and the howling north wind makes people’s faces feel a little raw.

Pedestrians on the road raised their collars high to block the howling north wind.

In the cold weather, not to mention people, even cattle and sheep look lazy.

But when the sun rose high, there was a little more warmth between heaven and earth.

The new house is still under construction and will probably be completed in the next few days.

Huang Tinghui and the little girl still stayed at Aunt Erzhu's house.

Early in the morning, Aunt Erzhu woke everyone up.

"Er Zhu, Brother Hui, Lian'er!"

"The New Year is coming soon, do you want to go to the county seat?"

"Although there are many things in the market, they are not as many as those in the county town."

"You should also buy some and have a good year!"

Aunt Erzhu was also a lively person, in her early years before she married into Huangjia Village.

She and her brother often went to the county town to have fun.

After all, Huangjiacun and her natal family are not particularly far from the county seat.

But after getting married, Aunt Erzhu didn't go to the city much.

This year's harvest is good, so Aunt Erzhu wants to go to the city to buy some things and buy some new clothes for her children.

"Going to the county seat?" Uncle Erzhu did not expect that his wife would think of this.

Just when she was about to say something, Aunt Erzhu said to Uncle Erzhu: "A few days ago, I saw Brother Hui practicing calligraphy with sand!"

"Brother Hui is a scholar. Although practicing calligraphy with sand does not cost money, how can a scholar always use sand and stones to practice calligraphy? The calligraphy must be written on paper, right?"

"There are many farmers in the market, selling cloth and food, but there are few selling paper for writing."

"For pens, inks, paper and inkstones, you have to go to the county town to buy them."

"Although I am a woman, I still know these things."

Aunt Erzhu looked at Uncle Erzhu and said.

Hearing what his wife said, Uncle Erzhu immediately understood.

For Uncle Erzhu, it is very important for his nephew to have a good future.

Now that his daughter-in-law thought about this, Uncle Erzhu naturally agreed.

"Daughter-in-law, you are right!"

"Cigraphy must be written on paper after all. You can't always practice calligraphy with river sand."

"Brother Hui, let's go to the county seat together to take a look."

"Buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and buy some other things."

"The Chinese New Year is about to come. This year is a good year. It's time to have a good year!"

Uncle Erzhu nodded and said.

Seeing that Uncle Erzhu and Aunt Erzhu had made up their minds, Huang Tinghui and the little girl had no objections.

After packing some things, Huang Tinghui and others rushed to the ferry.

There are two options to go from Huangjiacun to the county seat, one is to take the land route, the other is to take the water route.

The land route takes longer, while the water route is much faster.

Huang Tinghui and Uncle Erzhu naturally chose the waterway to head towards the county seat.

So they quickly arrived at the ferry.

Calculated per person, Huang Tinghui gave the boatman some copper coins and got on the boat.

Going towards the county seat was smooth sailing, so the boat was very fast, and we arrived at Ruian County in just a short time.

After Huang Tinghui and Uncle Erzhu got off the boat, they walked towards Ruian County.

After everyone walked for a while, Huang Tinghui saw the tall city wall appearing in front of him.

There is a wide moat in front of the city wall, which is built of solid stone.

The interior of the county seat was protected.

There is a gate in the middle of the city wall, which is the city gate of Ruian County.

The high suspension bridge was lowered, and the people walked towards the city from the suspension bridge.

Although these things existed in his memory, Huang Tinghui still felt strange when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

This is different from the rough clips in movies and TV dramas. From here we can also see the importance that ancient people attached to the safety of the city.

"I wonder how majestic the walls of Yanjing and Jinling City will be?"

"Those are the Southern Capital and the Northern Capital!"

"I don't know if I will ever have the chance to go to Yanjing City or Jinling City to take a look in this life."

Huang Tinghui looked at the word "Ruian" written on the city wall, and his thoughts flew very far at that time.

"Brother Hui, let's go!"

Until Uncle Erzhu called Huang Tinghui.

Only then did Huang Tinghui put his mind away, and he and everyone walked into the city.
