Chapter 716 Eating dumplings tonight

After leaving school, Wei Anxing went to a nearby store and bought a pound of soy sauce beef and a few sesame seed cakes, holding them in his hands. He walked leisurely home with the setting sun on his back. His feet were injured and slightly aggravated.

Turning around and turning around, it feels very leisurely to look at the drowsiness.

When we arrived at the entrance of the alley, some neighbors greeted Wei Anxing, one of whom was a Wei official. Some were respectful and some were flattering.

Wei Anxing's expression remained unchanged, and he respectfully returned greetings to everyone one by one.

The people living in this area are all people from the west of Beijing who returned after Wang Xiaolie occupied Hedong Road. Most of them returned to their hometowns, and some of them were officials, but due to various reasons that were not verified clearly, they lived here temporarily.

Wei Anxing was from Raozhou. His parents had passed away at home, so he stayed behind. A few days ago, several people in Xiping County proved that he was the master of Xiping. After being kidnapped by the Jin people to Hedong, he had been living by doing odd jobs.

He did not serve as an official in the Jin Dynasty. At the right time, he enrolled in school together with Zheng Gangzhong and others.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Wei Anxing straightened his robes, stood in front of the door and said, "Ying Niang, I'm back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened from the inside. Ying Niang stood at the door and said with a smile: "I came back so early today. I haven't cooked the meal yet."

Wei Anxing said: "It's not too early. The sun has already set in the west. It will be dark if we go home a little later, so what can we do?"

With that said, he lifted his legs and entered the door. He raised the things in his hands and said, "When I came back, I bought a pound of soy sauce beef and a few sesame seed cakes."

Yingniang took it and said: "Beef is so expensive! Why are you willing to buy beef? I will save money and make you a cotton coat in winter."

Wei Anxing said: "After I entered the school today, my identity was found out. After I went out today, I asked Liu Gan's office and said how many months have passed since my salary was calculated from the day I reported to the army.

.The calculation will be completed within ten days, and you can receive the money then."

Ying Niang whispered: "Really give me money? You haven't done anything in the past few months, and your identity has not been checked. You still want to make up for it!"

Wei Anxing said: "We have been in Luoyang for several months, and you haven't seen it yet? Under Xuanfu, as long as the government says it, it will be done. We people have said it a long time ago. As long as the identity is verified, the salary will be

Complete it all at once. There are dozens of strings!"

After hearing this, Yingniang stood at the door and was stunned for a while. She said: "If we really pay dozens of dollars, our life will be much easier."

Wei Anxing stretched out his arms: "Yeah, it was much better then. After several years of hardship, it finally came to an end. By the way, is there any news about your parents?"

Yingniang said: "I met a fellow villager a few days ago and said that my parents fled to the border of Guangzhou and lived there. It was just a hard journey and my brother couldn't endure it and unfortunately passed away. I'm going to write a letter.

, let your parents come to Luoyang, and we will take care of them in their old age."

"Okay, okay, it should be." Wei Anxing nodded repeatedly. "After this disaster, we can survive, God has treated us well. If we can reunite as a family, what a great day it will be!"

After saying that, Wei Anxing picked up the wine gourd next to him, shook it, and patted his head: "Oh, I forgot to buy wine! Just wait, I'll get some wine!"

Ying Niang said: "You are going to school today, and I am going to eat dumplings. A few days ago, I just learned from Grandma Sun, who is waiting behind me, how to mix the stuffing and how to wrap it, but I don't know how it tastes. The stuffing has been mixed, I bought it.

Three ounces of meat, it should be fragrant."

Wei Anxing said with a smile: "This is the best. People say the dumplings are delicious, but we don't know how to make them ourselves, and we can't afford to eat them when we go out. If you make them today, you must try them! Let's put the sesame cakes first, and we'll make them. Breakfast tomorrow."

After saying that, he said goodbye to Ying Niang and walked towards the tavern with big steps.

When the Jin army broke through Xiping, Wei Anxing was slightly injured and was kidnapped by the Jin people all the way north. When they arrived at Longde Mansion, Wei Anxing fell ill and was thrown there. Later, he miraculously recovered and lived there. He has been working odd jobs, and I don’t know how much suffering he has suffered. The broken finger was cut off by the Jin when Wei Anxing went to the battlefield in person when he was guarding Xiping. The injury on his leg was from being beaten and scolded by the Jin when he went north. A leg was broken, and without treatment, the wound remained.

In the past few years in Longde Mansion, Wei Anxing only had two rags on his body and had not enough to eat. The winter was really difficult. The year before last, he rescued the dying Ying Niang from a grave outside the city, and the two of them lived together ever since. Together, it is difficult for Wei Anxing to live alone, and it is even more difficult with Ying Niang. The two of them live in Longde Mansion, living like humans and ghosts, living a hard life.

When Xie Li Nong went north, all those captured by the Jin soldiers were given money to go home. Those who were originally officials could work as officials on Jingxi Road as long as they proved it clearly. Those who did not want to be on Jingxi Road were given money to go home. go.

Wei Anxing was injured all over, so he could only reluctantly return to Luoyang with others to recuperate his health. Although his identity had not yet been found out, the Henan government paid Wei Anxing and Yingniang five guan of money every month and arranged accommodation.

Five guan of money is enough for two people to live. However, life was too hard in the past few years and she has been saving money. Ying Niang calculated that if she saves two guan of money a month, she can make a cotton coat for each person in winter. Lunde The winter in my house is too cold. I have been really afraid of freezing in the past few years.

Now that he has finally found out his identity, he will be given more than ten thousand dollars a month. Wei Anxing suddenly doesn't know how to spend so much money. Eat meat? Eat fish? You can eat it once a month, but you can't spend it all. Is it possible every day? Eat? Wei Anxing has long forgotten that there is such a life in the world.

After coming back from drinking, he saw Ying Niang standing by the pot making dumplings. Wei Anxing opened the beef and placed it on the table. He took two pairs of chopsticks, one pair for Ying Niang and one pair for himself. They arranged them neatly and ate them once. Don’t be careless with the meat.

After the dumplings were cooked, Ying Niang brought them over. She said to Wei Anxing: "I went to buy meat today. How could Zheng Daguan be willing to sell it for three ounces? There was no other way. I bought one and a half kilograms with the Qin Guanren and Xu Guanren families next to me. .I cut off a small piece so I don’t want to take advantage of others.”

Wei Anxing said: "We poor people only eat meat to taste it, why do we need so much!"

Ying Niang smiled and said: "That's the truth. I prepared the stuffing according to the method taught by Grandma Sun. You can try it to see if it tastes good."

Wei Anxing said: "Sit down and let's eat together. In Luoyang City, people say that the beef here is delicious. I bought a pound today. We are going to pay. How can we live like a wealthy family?" I can eat enough, and occasionally I can have a meal of meat!”

Ying Niang took off her apron and sat down at the table. She picked up the jug and reed, poured a jug of wine, and poured it for Wei Anxing.

Wei Anxing said: "This wine is not strong, you can have a drink too. Let's drink and chat."

After hearing this, Ying Niang picked up the wine bottle and poured herself a glass.

Picking up the wine glass, Wei Anxing said with some emotion: "This gourd was given to me by Yu Guanren when he became an official. It has been almost a month, and I finally got a gourd of wine today. Alas, thinking about these years, I really can't bear to look back.

!”

Ying Niang said: "It's all over, why bother thinking about it anymore. Let's live a good life from now on and forget about the days in Hedong."

Wei Anxing nodded, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ying Niang picked up the jug and silently filled Wei Anxing with more wine. She said: "Today there is wine, meat, and dumplings. After so many years, we finally have a day like this. I hope I won't suffer anymore in the future."

, just live your life peacefully."
