Chapter 269: Dowry

In addition to the sleeping pills, Song Liyun also took out a thermal protective suit to be worn close to the body.

This high-density fiber clothing with excellent elasticity can keep you warm in the apocalypse where there is a large temperature difference between day and night.

"What is this?" Zhao Tingduo asked in surprise, pinching the thin and soft cloth in his hand.

Song Liyun chuckled and said, "I am a fairy! These are things given to you by the gods, you must use them honestly."

"Are you really a fairy?"

Zhao Tingduo was a little dumbfounded. Song Liyun gave him three things at this time.

A three-edged bayonet made of unknown material, shining with cold light.

A piece of clothing that can keep you warm even in heavy snow, and a drug that can knock people out in one breath, these three items are life-saving treasures.

"fool!"

Song Liyun laughed and poked his chest, "If you don't cherish me in the future, even a fairy can turn into a witch!"

"No, I swear by the Wolf King..."

Song Liyun covered his mouth as he was about to swear: "Alright, let's go! Keep the oath in your heart, don't say it out loud!"

Zhao Tingduo could not waste any more time, as important matters were waiting for him at the garrison.

That night, the gate of Suijin Pass was wide open, and a long team walked into the darkness on the icy river water, marching quickly to the grassland.

Time flies and it is October.

Song Liyun was still going to Qili County. As soon as she got on her horse and went out, Xiao An ran out holding a cashmere cloak and said, "Second sister, it's cold this morning. Put on some clothes before you go."

It's October now and there's already frost on the ground in the morning.

Song Liyun was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, so she wasn't cold even when riding a horse. However, Xiao An brought her a cloak, so she accepted it and casually asked, "What are you doing, brother?"

She hadn't seen anyone since she got out of bed.

Xiao An rubbed his cold hands and said, "Big Brother went to the river to cut grass. He said the thatched shed in the backyard needs to be widened, and the windbreak wall on the rabbit hutch side needs to be thickened."

Song Liyun slapped her forehead: She now spends most of her time in the county town, and every time Song Zhenping packs all kinds of vegetables on horseback early in the morning.

Uncle Han is in charge of two factories and a shop house in the town whose framework has already been built, so he has no time to do anything else.

In addition to taking care of the food, clothing and housework for several people, Yunniang also has to spin wool yarn every day.

All the farm work at home depends on Song Zhenping alone, and he hasn't even been to the backyard for a long time.

The weather is getting colder, and if you want to grow vegetables in a greenhouse, you need to build a fire wall.

Thinking of this, Song Liyun looked up at the mountains outside the town. She still had to find time to use the space to collect firewood.

Just then, Song Zhenping, who had gone out early in the morning, came back carrying a large bundle of long silk grass.

I don’t know when he left the house, but now there is frost on his head.

The heavy bale of straw weighed on his back, and he walked with a limp.

"Brother, why didn't you tell me you wanted to mow the grass? I brought my horse with me so you don't have to carry it yourself."

Song Liyun turned over and got off the horse.

Xiao An ran over quickly to help him take the bundle of grass.

Song Zhenping wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. "I didn't know when you were going out with the horse, so I didn't tie it. It's okay, it's just this little bit of grass, it's not heavy."

There are two horses at home. Uncle Han needs a horse to travel around town. The guard post originally wanted to send another one for family use, but Song Zhenping refused, saying that he rarely used it.

"Is the thatched shed in the backyard enough? Do you want to cut some more? How much firewood have you prepared for heating this year?"

Song Liyun was not in a hurry to leave. She tied up the horse again and followed the two brothers to the backyard.

After a year of tidying up, the backyard is no longer as messy as before. Two fire walls and a floor dragon can provide heating for the entire backyard.

Along the courtyard wall is a circle of rabbit houses. These rabbits can not only solve the problem of old leaves and roots in the vegetable garden, but also make rabbit manure into fertilizer, and also add "spicy rabbit cubes" to the menu of Tianxianglou.

In the farthest corner were piled acorn shells, which were to be used for the fire wall.

Song Liyun took a look and found that it was brought from the food store. It was barely enough to burn the earthen dragon, but it still needed some wood.

Song Zhenping put the silk grass aside and lowered his head to brush off the debris on his body.

Seeing that he had been worried for the past few days, Song Liyun couldn't help but say, "Brother, Lin Tao's sister-in-law's daughter is also suitable. Why don't we meet each other..."

Before Song Liyun could finish, Song Zhen's face flushed and he waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no need, as long as your marriage is settled, I'm not in a hurry to go on another blind date."

After the trade fair, Lin Tao's wife stayed in the town. When she heard that Brother Song was not engaged yet, she said she would pick a suitable girl from among her relatives.

Song Liyun listened briefly and realized that he also lived a down-to-earth life, but he was young and had just reached the age of marriage, so he had to wait two years before getting married.

Song Zhenping will be twenty-one after the Chinese New Year. In Song Liyun's opinion, waiting another two years is not a big deal.

However, in the Wu Dynasty, which advocated early marriage, men and women in their early twenties were considered old.

But Song Zhenping didn't take it seriously and directly refused it.

"Brother, there's been no news from Yang Hua. Do you want to wait a little longer?"

Song Zhenping rubbed his face irritably and changed the subject: "Madam Wuya, when will you return the gift?"

On the fifth day after Zhao Tingduo left, the Wuda tribe really came to propose marriage!

Captain Luo almost crawled into Baolinju.

Song Liyun was not at home, so he hurriedly sent people to Qili County to bring her back.

Song Liyun was also surprised when she saw the person who came to propose marriage. It turned out to be a beggar woman who came to Suijin Town.

She was just surprised, but later she learned that when Captain Luo saw the beggar woman riding on horseback at Suijin Pass, he fell to his knees.

Before he was eighteen, whenever he was injured, it was the beggar woman who wiped his body and changed his medicine without taking off her clothes, so that he could get through it.

Now seeing the elderly nanny again, he was truly grateful.

Captain Luo had a flattering look on his face and personally helped the beggar woman, who had changed her clothes, to the Song family.

According to the rules of the Wu Dynasty, Luo Baihu acted as the matchmaker and Song Zhenping was the head of the family. The two families exchanged engagement letters in a low-key manner and set the wedding date.

The beggar woman brought ten fox furs, three cashmere cloaks, and a box of furs.

Such a betrothal gift was not only something that Song Liyun and Song Zhenping, two inexperienced people, had never seen before, but even Han Ming and Yunniang had never even heard of it.

Each piece of smooth and glossy fur is a rare and top-quality product.

Aunt Qi was gentle and amiable. With just a few words, she made Yunniang and Han Ming put aside their grudges and give rise to hope.

She promised to help search for Little Stone on the grassland and find out the real news no matter whether the person was dead or alive.

Song Liyun's marriage was settled, and Song Zhenping was also happy. However, he learned Zhao Tingduo's true identity, and while he was happy, he also felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, he began to understand Yang Hua's feelings about breaking off the engagement.

That is a kind of unreality, there is always this kind of fleeting happiness that does not belong to you.

In addition, Song Zhenping thought of more.

Although he had been away from Xiaoshi Village for a year, he was still a well-behaved military household here and was not afraid of being investigated. However, the more stable and happy his life was, the more he feared someone would come to find him.

I always feel that Yun'er's marriage will be in turmoil!
