Chapter 156: Retreat in the Face of Difficulty
Feng guessed the girl's little thoughts, and was afraid that the young man would be too powerful and be frightened by Fengze.
So she planned to follow along when the time came, and dig some motherworts to eat with egg sauce.
The next morning, Jiang Fengze got up early and wiped the basket inside and out again.
He was very patient, and laid a small cushion and a blanket on it, and only then did he bear to carry the little Nuobao, who was smiling like a morning flower, into the basket and carry him up the mountain.
Feng and Li Qiqiao were holding baskets and were about to follow.
Little Nuobao chuckled in a baby voice and deliberately said, "Mom, let's change to a bigger basket. We have a lot of things to bring back today!"
Feng pinched her little nose and reminded her secretly, "Good girl, you have to be careful. Don't take too many of those good things out. Your third brother is not your mother. He has never seen that kind of battle. Don't be scared when you just come back."
Little Nuobao frowned mischievously.
Then he lay back in the basket comfortably, shaking his little feet and looking up at the sky.
By the way, count the offerings from the believers in the past few days.
When they arrived, there were already many women on the mountain, holding baskets and digging motherwort.
When they saw Jiang Fengze, their eyes lit up.
Jiang Fengze is so good-looking that not only the young ladies waiting to get married, but even the married women can't help but take a few more looks at her.
Anyway, it's just a look and it doesn't cost any money.
At this moment, little Nuobao was lying in the backpack, digging her toes comfortably.
In order to be able to see his sister at any time, Jiang Fengze simply carried the backpack on his chest.
As long as Nuobao raised her head, she could see her third brother with his chin hanging down, looking at her with curiosity.
The little guy couldn't help but chuckle. He
also thought that his third brother had been rushing home for a month and was tired and thin, so he needed to eat more good food to replenish his body.
So he got three or four wild pheasants, a bunch of fruits, crucian carp, big prawns and so on, and threw them on the mountain road not far away.
At this time, several women saw that Nuobao was also brought out, and they couldn't help but come forward and pinch her little face.
Little Nuobao had delicate skin and flesh, and was most afraid of being randomly pinched by these rough big hands.
Although some women were kind, their hands were heavy, and when they touched her, it was sometimes like a knife cutting, scratching Nuobao's little face and making it painful.
So the little girl had no choice but to stick her little butt out, which was the best protection for herself.
The women couldn't see the child's reluctance, and they pulled her little arms apart and insisted on pinching her face.
"I haven't seen Nuobao for a few days. Let me see if you have gained weight again?" A woman laughed loudly.
Jiang Fengze frowned as he looked at his hands covered with welts, barbs, and mud. He took Nuobao out with a loving heart, held it in his arms, and stepped back a few steps.
The villagers touched nothing and turned their attention to Jiang Fengze.
After not seeing him for three or four years, Jiang Fengze looked more mature and heroic than before, which made the women smile like aunts.
Aunt Su and the others surrounded him, wanting to get to know Fengze better so that they could get married in the future.
"This must be your third child, he's so handsome, and looks a lot like Nuobao. When others see your third child, they might really think Nuobao is your biological child." Aunt Su was quick-witted and couldn't help but flatter him.
It just so happened that her daughter was seventeen this year and was anxious to find a decent marriage.
But this flattery hit the horse's hoof, and both Feng and Jiang Fengze changed their faces.
Jiang Fengze said unhappily: "Nuobao and I look alike, so she is my biological sister!"
Li Qiqiao couldn't help but frown.
Although the sister-in-law was adopted, she is closer to the family than a biological child.
How can you say whether a child is a biological child in front of a child? Aunt Su is too annoying.
Aunt Su was given a cold face and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I just want to say that although your Nuobao is not your biological child, but... but better than your biological child!"
This made Jiang Fengze even more unhappy.
He snorted, covered little Nuobao's ears directly, and walked forward with his sister in his arms.
Xiao Nuobao also disliked Aunt Su's chatterbox, so he simply pouted his little body and farted loudly in the woman's face.
Talk too much?
Stink her up!
Mrs. Feng was about to frown, but she burst out laughing when she saw this.
The other women couldn't help but laugh.
Aunt Su is really stupid. She makes a lot of mistakes. It seems that her daughter can't expect to be favored by the Jiang family.
Seeing Aunt Su's embarrassment, Mrs. Feng took advantage of this opportunity to stop the villagers from wanting to find a marriage for her.
They are all from the same village, and some things are not convenient to say directly, so as not to offend anyone.
So the best thing is to let them give up when they see difficulties.
Mrs. Feng smiled and said, "Feng Ze is a straightforward boy who may be used to being in the army. Don't mind it, Aunt Su."
Aunt Su nodded quickly and wanted to try again to let Feng Ze meet her daughter.
But Mrs. Feng suddenly changed the subject and sighed, "My Feng Ze has worked hard these years. Although he was awarded the title of Yu Hou in the army, it was earned with blood and sweat. Now that he is home, he just wants to spend time with his family and doesn't want anything else."
Yu Hou?
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
So, the boy from the Jiang family has military merits and awards?
Some of the less knowledgeable people who didn't know what Yu Hou was were whispering to each other.
"You don't know this? My nephew has been in the army. He said that in an army, only one or two out of 500 people can become a military officer. It's not easy to be one!" Someone sighed in a low voice. "
Those who have been military officers, even if they retire from the army, can at least find a good job as long as they report to the government office. Even the county magistrate can't neglect them." Someone else muttered. "
What? Isn't this equivalent to having a reputation? How can the Jiang family boy be interested in a country girl from our village?"
Everyone's discussions came to their ears one after another. Aunt Su and several others who wanted to marry into the Jiang family couldn't help but wilt, as if they had been hit by frost.
He is already a guard...
If they rush to push their daughter over and spread the news, people will think that they are attracted by his military achievements. If he is still not attracted, people will say that it is too ugly to throw him away...
Aunt Su had no choice but to give up her imagination and forced a smile awkwardly: "Ah... is this... Nuobao's mother, your third child is really promising. If he finds a good marriage in the future, you must tell us all."
Feng smiled and said, "There is no rush. It's not a matter for the present anyway. By the way, the village chief will set a banquet for him in two days. When the time comes, you all can come and my family will prepare two more delicious dishes to entertain everyone."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt relieved and went forward to chase Nuobao and Fengze.
It's not that Feng wants to show off her military achievements, nor does she mean to suppress others, but only in this way can the villagers stop thinking about making trouble.
Li Qiqiao was impressed by her mother's wisdom, and with a bright smile, she kept whispering to Feng.
"Mom, did you see that Aunt Su's face was almost green?" Li Qiqiao said with a frown.
Feng smiled in her eyes: "Anyway, after today's visit, they can't carry pickled vegetables and rush up in the future, so our family can save some trouble."
Li Qiqiao was in a happy mood, and she walked as lightly as a rabbit.
This is very good. Those girls in the village who are eager to get married are either lazy and slippery, or like Ju Jiao, they are always thinking about their lovers. They are not good candidates to be sisters-in-law.
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law squeezed their heads together, shoulders to shoulders, and laughed and talked a lot.
At this time, Jiang Fengze in front suddenly cried "ouch", as if he was startled.
Feng and the others hurriedly caught up and saw four or five wild pheasants lying in front of Jiang Fengze, and a bunch of strawberries growing behind him, all of them red and sweet.
In the ditch on the side, there were countless crucian carps and shrimps, jumping out like they were desperate.
"Mom, I haven't been home for a few years, and there are so many good things in our village on the mountain now?" Jiang Fengze's eyes widened, and he stepped back in disbelief.
Feng opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain to her son, so she had to poke the little face of the young lady.
This little bad boy, didn't we agree to let her take it easy?
Xiao Nuobao was lying in the basket, smiling and drooling, watching the reaction of the third brother, his teeth were shaking with joy.
She threw her hands back like a naughty boy.
With a "bang", a wild boar cub came out again!
