Jiang Zhen originally just bought two rings yesterday, intending to have one with Zhao Jinge, but then suddenly remembered to propose marriage, and also remembered something.
One of his comrades in arms talked about a girlfriend, and he was thinking about getting married all day long. As a result, people just didn't answer the talk. , but when he said marriage, he often did not answer.
His comrades-in-arms didn't understand, and finally he asked, and the girl said, you didn't propose, I couldn't rush to marry you.
Kneeling down and begging for marriage seems to make people happy... Jiang Zhen thought about closing the door at night and giving a ring like this, teasing Zhao Jinge and then coaxing people into bed.
He has always liked to see Brother Zhao Jin's shy look.
The result... There is no doubt that something went wrong in the end.
However, the result was still very good. Seeing that Brother Zhao Jin had been touching the ring on his hand the next day, Jiang Zhen knew that he must like this ring very much.
Brother Zhao Jin really likes this ring, he just wish everyone could see the ring on his hand, but he's too embarrassed to show it off...
Moreover, it was useless for others to only see the ring on his hand. He hoped that others could still see the ring on Jiang Zhen's hand.
They are wearing the same thing!
Brother Zhao Jin frowned with a serious face, and one hand rubbed the ring on his hand intentionally or unintentionally...
He Chunsheng, Jiang Ming and others suddenly felt inexplicably pressured when facing him.
It is true that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Zhao Jinge and Jiang Zhen have been together for a long time, and now they are more and more imposing!
When He Chunsheng and others saw Brother Zhao Jin, they all said hello and left in a hurry.
Zhao Jinge: "..."
Others can't see Zhao Jinge's thoughts, but Jiang Zhen can see it. After seeing it, he can't help but laugh.
He originally thought it was very inconvenient and unaccustomed to wear a ring, and he even thought about taking it off after going back... Now he thinks it's good to wear it all the time.
Jiang Zhen was indifferent to many luxuries at this time. In his opinion, those expensive antiques, calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, jade, and jade were not as real as gold and silver. If he could spend a thousand taels to buy a toilet at this moment, he would definitely pay attention. He didn't even blink, but let him spend one thousand taels of silver to buy a jade bowl or something... They're all bowls, and jade is no better than porcelain!
Therefore, Jiang Zhen did not buy any luxury goods in the end, but mainly bought practical things, such as... charcoal.
As long as he doesn't buy expensive charcoal, ordinary charcoal can be used for a long time for a few taels of silver!
In this way, although Jiang Zhen bought a lot of things in Fucheng this time, he didn't spend much money in total.
When they returned to Hecheng County, there were only ten days left until the Chinese New Year, and the people of Hexi Village also began to buy New Year's goods, and the people who bought the New Year's goods were mainly salted fish and kelp and dried bamboo shoots. At the same time, everyone also Will marinate some pork, have a chicken ready, and no more.
On the one hand, the vast majority of people have no money. On the other hand, there are quite a few vegetables that can be eaten in the fields at the moment, so there is no need to hoard other things.
At the same time, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, the village will organize young and middle-aged people to go fishing together. After catching the fish, everyone will get a share.
For New Year worship, there must be chicken, fish and meat. After the fish is divided, it can be kept for dinner after the new year.
When Jiang Zhen took the fleet back, the people from Hexi Village were catching fish, and Zhao Fugui also went. When he came back, Zhao Fugui also brought back a basket of fish.
"The village borrowed Jiang Zhen's boat for fishing this time, and we have a lot of fish distributed to our family." Putting down the bamboo basket in his hand, Zhao Fugui was in a very good mood. In the past, he and Zhao Jinge went to help each year and had to do a lot. Work, the last fish allocated is less than half of what it is today.
"They are looking at Jiang Zhen's face." Zhao Liushi said, she kept some of the lively fish in the tank, and then asked Zhao Fugui to kill the remaining fish.
If the fish is killed, some can be cooked and eaten right away, while others must be marinated and preserved.
"Let Mr. Li deal with this fish. Dad and I will sort out what I brought." Jiang Zhen said.
Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu had been accustomed to doing work for a long time. Although Jiang Zhen brought back Li and Ruoer, and Jiang Xiaomei could help, they still prefer to do most of the work by themselves.
It's just that they are not too young, and they have suffered a lot in their early years. Jiang Zhen will stop them and try to make them work less.
For Li Shi and Ruo'er, he paid wages, and it's nothing to let them do things like killing fish.
After Jiang Zhen took Zhao Fugui away, Zhao Liu took his son to talk. At the same time, she also saw the ring on Zhao Jinge's hand for the first time.
"Brother Jin, Jiang Zhen bought this for you?" Zhao Liu asked.
"Well," Zhao Jinge nodded, in a very good mood - someone finally asked about his ring! "Jiang Zhen bought two identical ones, and he wore the other one. In this ring, our name was also engraved."
Zhao Jinge proudly told Zhao Liu about the ring, and soon... He found that when people in the village looked at him, they would look at his ring!
In order not to appear complacent, Zhao Jinge tried his best to restrain himself from giggling, and then...
The villagers also felt that Zhao Jinge was becoming more and more imposing, like a landlord.
Just like him, Zhao Dahu always walked around the village with a big belly.
Zhao Jinge: "..."
After Jiang Zhen settled the things he brought back from Fucheng, he started tossing the piece of land he bought, and at the same time began to train his subordinates.
He took his subordinates to do various trainings every day, and let the men he rescued from the water bandits help level the land. As for the women and children, he arranged for them to be in the county town and temporarily let them weave cloth and make clothes.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and Jiang Zhen is still not relaxed at all. People in He Xicun can't help but be amazed. At the same time, more and more people are asking Jiang Zhen, hoping to join the team.
Jiang Zhen did not refuse. He inspected one by one and recruited dozens of people.
And when everything was slowly on the right track, Jiang Zhen's first new year in this Daqi came.
Jiang Zhen didn't pay much attention to the New Year. When he lived alone in the past, he would not do anything other than buy more delicious cooked food for himself during the New Year, but Zhao Liu attaches great importance to the New Year.
She worshipped the Bodhisattva first, then the ancestors, and finally, made a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
At the age of 30, no matter how much Jiang Zhen wanted to squeeze his subordinates, he gave them a holiday, and he himself stayed at home all day.
Jiang Zhen didn't care about the previous worship, but he was still looking forward to the New Year's Eve dinner, and the New Year's Eve dinner prepared by Zhao Liu and Li did not disappoint him.
Especially the braised pig's head, he thought it was very fragrant.
Jiang Zhen ate several pieces of pork head meat in a row, but he only ate one pig ear for Zhao Jinge. Zhao Jinge has already eaten meat and fish, and there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish. If he is allowed to let go and eat fatty meat...
Or just let him eat some pig ears.
"Our family's life is getting better this year..." After dinner, Jiang Xiaomei Li Shi and others went back, leaving only Jiang Zhen, Zhao Jinge and Zhao Fugui and his wife, Zhao Liushi said with some emotion.
"It will get better and better in the future." Jiang Zhen said.
"It will definitely get better in the future." Zhao Fugui said cheerfully, and suddenly took out a paper bag made of red paper, or a red envelope to Jiang Zhen.
"This is?" Jiang Zhen was a little stunned. Is this the lucky money? At his age, he doesn't need to give him any more New Year's money, right
"Red envelope," Zhao Fugui said, "this is your first year of marriage, and I want to give you a red envelope." After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth a little embarrassedly. The red envelope he wrapped was made by Jiang Shock for the money.
Jiang Zhen, who hadn't received a red envelope for decades, suddenly got a red envelope, and this feeling... not bad.
