Chapter 154 Only attentive to his sister
At this time, the dumplings stuffed with mother-in-law and diced garlic in the pot were already in boiling water and were about to break.
Feng took out the dumplings, added garlic and soy sauce, and brought them to the table in the inner room.
Jiang Fengze was forced to leave home for three years. Now he smelled the familiar fragrance of rice and couldn't help but feel sad. He picked up a dumpling and was about to put it in his mouth.
But before he ate it, he thought of his sister again, and hurriedly blew on the dumpling and passed it to Xiao Nuobao's mouth first.
"Come on, sister eats first."
Little Nuobao pouted and bit off half of it: "Three pots of dumplings, eat too!"
Seeing him clinging to his sister like this, Jiang Fengnian and Jiang Fenghu both laughed: "You've just come back and you're already being attentive to your sister. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, why are you in such a hurry?"
Feng wanted him to eat a full meal first, so she took Nuobao and fed him herself: "Three, eat yours quickly. Today's dumpling filling is made by mother. Come and see if it tastes the same as before."
So Jiang Fengze lowered his head and started eating. As
soon as the familiar taste entered his mouth, his mouth burned, and he couldn't bear to stop.
After eating half a plate of dumplings, Jiang Fengze wiped his mouth and said: "It's delicious, the rice cooked by my mother is still delicious. I was thinking about this when I was in the army!"
Feng and the others all laughed happily, and then they picked up their chopsticks.
"Third brother, how did you get through these years? You were suddenly arrested on the street, and how did you end up in the army?" Jiang Fengnian looked at his younger brother and said.
Jiang Fengze swallowed the dumpling and shook his head: "Don't mention it. We were originally captured to be soldiers that day. But the leader saw that I was taller and felt that the army was short of people, so he sent me to the western border."
"I heard that the barbarians in the western border area are very cruel and good at war. They harass and kill our people. There is no end to the war." Sun Chunxue asked with eyes wide open, feeling nervous.
Jiang Fengze stopped chewing and his expression froze for a moment.
He paused before replying, "Is that really what people say? Actually, although the barbarians occasionally invade the western border, our Nanji's fighting power is far superior to theirs, and they dare not harm our people."
"Since we are stronger than them, why can't we drive them back home? Why do we have to fight all the time? I heard that the court's money is all spent on this." Jiang Fenghu asked vaguely with a mouthful of dumplings.
Jiang Fengze's expression darkened for a moment.
"This..."
In fact, every time they fought, the leading general always asked everyone to retreat, fearing too many casualties, and did not allow the soldiers to attack with all their strength, which gave the barbarians the opportunity to fight again and again.
There has long been a rumor in the army that the Ministry of War has issued an order not to allow them to repel the barbarians.
Therefore, the troops stationed on the border often retreat without fighting.
As for the reasons, Jiang Fengze had some guesses, but he didn't want to tell his family about things that were still uncertain.
Xiao Nuobao saw that his third brother was a little melancholy, and hurriedly pushed Feng's foot.
Feng understood and quickly changed the subject: "Third brother, what are your plans for the future? You have been stationed on the border for several years. Does the army have any arrangements for you ?
" Jiang Fengze came back to his senses and couldn't help laughing and said, "There is a good thing that I didn't have time to tell you, mother. Just a few months ago, I led a team to kill hundreds of bandits, protected a village of military households, and got the position of Yu Hou."
Yu Hou is considered a small leader in the army.
Looking around Yuncheng, this status is impressive and can shock people.
The Jiang family members' eyes lit up immediately, their faces and necks turned red with excitement, and Xiao Nuobao also clapped his hands, feeling happy for his third brother.
Jiang Fengze hesitated again and continued: "But although I am a guard, the garrison troops in our prefecture have all been disbanded, so I am only a nominal guard, and there is no other job to do. The Ministry of War gave us a reward silver, allowing us to retire and settle down on our own."
When Feng heard that her son did not have to work, she was even more satisfied.
"It's better to come back, then mother can stay with you every day, so as not to miss you and can't sleep like before." Feng smiled and curved her eyes, but she was speaking from the heart.
If her son was assigned to work elsewhere because of his post as a guard, even if he had a future, Feng would not be happy.
For her, as long as the whole family could be reunited and live together peacefully, it would be more worthy of happiness than making money or having a bright future!
Feng kept nodding her head and told Jiang Fengze everything that had happened in the Jiang family in the past three years.
After learning that the family not only saved some money, but could even build a large-scale project in the village to expand Fushantang, Jiang Fengze opened his mouth in surprise.
"I never thought that our family's life is so good." Jiang Fengze was full of emotion, his eyes were red: "When I returned to the village, I almost couldn't find my home. I went to our original house and was shocked to see two girls living inside. Thanks to asking the villagers, I finally found the house where my family lives."
At first, when he saw the big house at home, Jiang Fengze was a little skeptical, fearing that the villagers had pointed to the wrong house.
It was not until he saw Feng coming out that he could be sure. As
Feng and his family listened, they felt a pang of pain in their eyes. The whole family couldn't help crying and laughing, tears mixed with joy and sadness, flowing freely on their faces.
Everything can be said to be a happy ending after suffering!
In the afternoon, Jiang Fengnian didn't have time to spend more time with his third brother, so he hurried to the city to pick up Fengjing.
When Fengjing jumped off the donkey cart, his little face was so wet that his tears fell on his clothes.
"Third brother, I miss you so much!" Fengjing threw himself into Jiang Fengze's arms, his shoulders twitching with tears.
Jiang Fengze also felt very sorry for him, so he picked up the taller Fengjing, wiped his tears, and went into the house to get him a small gift.
The Jiang family was very busy for half a day.
Sun Chunxue and Li Qiqiao cleaned the house and dried the quilts so that Fengze could live comfortably at home.
There were still empty rooms in the east and west wing of the house, and Fengnian and Fenghu were both vying to let their third brother live in their wing.
But in the end, Feng waved her hand and let Jiang Fengze live in the main room.
She and Nuobao lived in the east wing, and Xiao Lanyi, Fengjing, and Fengmiao had always lived in the west wing.
Feng wanted Fengze to be closer to her, so she squeezed him on a kang with the other three. Anyway, there was enough room for them to sleep, and she could spend more time talking to Nuobao at night, and it would be more lively with more people.
Right now, the Jiang family is filled with an atmosphere of joy and high spirits.
The whole family was reunited, and everyone's face was beaming with joy when they went out.
When the villagers learned that Fengze had returned home, they were all happy for the Jiang family.
The village chief was so excited that his eyes turned red. He immediately found Feng and said, "So that young man is your Fengze. I didn't expect to see him again. This is a big happy event for the whole village. We must prepare a feast for him and welcome him together!"
It just so happened that there were still unmarried girls in the village. If they could take this opportunity to meet each other and solve the most important matter in their lives, the village chief thought it would be great.
