Chapter 272 The whole village is happy
It was another sunny afternoon in Daliu Village.
The Jiang family looked at Nuobao, who was laughing with her little teeth showing on the kang, and didn't know what was wrong with this child.
Since returning from Xishan Village yesterday, as soon as Feng entered the house, she saw this little girl rolling around with joy.
At first, she thought it was because the hand rope woven by Dean Wei was beautiful and made her too happy.
But a day has passed, and little Nuobao still giggles from time to time, holding her little face and blinking her big eyes secretly, as if hiding something good.
The Jiang family was really confused, but they were also touched by her cuteness, so they just let her play.
Mrs. Feng took out the basin from the pot and felt that the dough was already fermented. "Second daughter-in-law, go and prepare the kidney bean and pork stuffing. We will steam buns to eat in the evening."
Li Qiqiao rolled up her sleeves and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows towards the inner room. "Mom, I just went in to take a look. Our Nuobao is still lying on the windowsill and having fun."
Mrs. Feng thought for a while.
The corners of her mouth rose in amusement.
She knew her daughter best. Most of them had calculated that something good was going to happen, but she deliberately didn't tell her family, so she was secretly enjoying herself there.
"Let her play by herself. I'll make some of her favorite sauerkraut and pork dregs buns later. With delicious food, she can shut her little mouth and see how she can still smile foolishly." Mrs. Feng's tone could not hide her doting.
In the outer room, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy.
Mix the stuffing, knead the dough, roll out the dough, and then start wrapping. Soon, two steamed buns with different stuffings came out.
Dean Wei brought a book of poems to Feng Jing. Seeing the steam rising from the outer room, he wanted to come over to help.
Feng Jing didn't hesitate. As soon as she asked him to help light the fire, Dean Wei blushed and ran away in a hurry.
After all, he and Xiao Nuobao were the only ones who knew that he didn't know how to light a fire. But he
didn't dare to show it, otherwise it would add to the joke.
Feng Jing was stunned, but she guessed it quickly. Dean Wei doesn't cook often on weekdays, so he is probably not familiar with these things. When
Xiao Nuobao heard the noise, he ran to the outer room, his chubby face still showing joy.
After all, he had imagined what happened to his third brother yesterday, and knew that there would be a big happy event!
After the big pot was boiled, two curtains of buns were taken out of the pot one after another.
When Li Qiqiao picked them up and put them on the plate, the big white and plump buns were squeezed together, exuding an enticing aroma.
"Second daughter-in-law, take two plates of these kidney beans and pork buns and send them to Old Lady Xiao and the others."
"These pickled cabbage and oil residue buns, mother, send some to Yin'er, so she won't have to prepare dinner in the evening."
As they said this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took off their skirts and were carrying the buns out.
But Xiao Nuobao grabbed the two of them, and smiled with a frown, "Mom, second sister-in-law, you two should change clothes!"
Change clothes?
Feng and Li Qiqiao looked at their bodies and thought they were dirty somewhere, so it was inconvenient for them to go out.
"Everything is clean. I just went to Yin'er's place. Why should I change clothes?" Feng wanted to run away.
But Xiao Nuobao pouted her lips, and she looked like she could hang a bottle of oil on her.
The two of them had no choice but to retract their legs and go to the inner room to change.
Under Xiao Nuobao's insistence, Feng had to change her clothes. The new clothes made of silk cloth looked radiant.
Just as the two of them patted the dust and turned around to deliver the buns.
Suddenly, Jiang Fengmiao ran home, shouting as she ran.
"Mom, my third brother! My third brother is back!" He was so excited that tears burst out, and he jumped up and down, shaking his sleeves.
"What? Fengze!" Feng's eyes turned red, and she rushed out in a hurry.
As soon as she left the house, Feng's mouth opened wide.
She realized why the lady insisted that she change her clothes. It turned out that it was not for the buns, but for meeting the foreign guests.
At this time, Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi were riding tall horses, walking in the front, and behind them were the inner palace envoy Ali and a team of black-armored cavalry.
The crowd was almost so huge that the villagers were amazed!
"Is this because our Fengze has made another contribution?" "It's really a great honor
for our village to have Fengze." After hearing a few words, the inner palace envoy Ali took out the imperial edict with white characters on a red background in his hand, and smiled kindly. This time, it was not just Jiang Fengze who made a contribution. The whole Daliu Village was also rewarded. Soon, Ali read out the imperial master's decree in front of everyone. "Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi are conferred the title of Marquis of Guanwai!" "For catching the secret agents of the Northern Pirates and the orphans, the villagers of Daliu Village have made contributions, and they are specially awarded 300 taels of silver and exempted from autumn taxes for five years!" As soon as these words came out, the village chief and others knelt down to thank them, and they were so excited that they were shaking all over. They could actually benefit from this and get the reward from the imperial master? ! And Feng's eyes were filled with tears. She rushed over with her whole family to hug Fengze and Xiao Lanyi. "Let me see quickly, are you two injured? You know, I heard the rumors of the war outside and was almost worried to death at home." Feng buried her face in her son's shoulder. Among the whole family, only Xiao Nuobao was not surprised. She smiled and pulled Jiang Fengze, and then jumped for a hug! "You little fat girl, you knew it yesterday, didn't you?" Feng wiped her eyes and whispered to the lady, "You didn't tell me the truth, otherwise I wouldn't worry all night, you little rascal." Xiao Nuobao smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. If you said it early, there would be no surprise. Isn't it too boring? Feng didn't say much in front of everyone, she just patted her little girl's butt and poked her forehead. Jiang Fengze hugged his sister tightly, and the smile on his face never disappeared. He hadn't seen his sister for a few days, and he missed her very much, so he couldn't help but kiss her a few times. Ah Li looked at the cute little girl in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but flow with sweetness. But he seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but look back at the empty carriage parked at the entrance of the village, and shook his head a little disappointedly.
What a pity.
