When Zhang Erhu returned to his home, it was completely dark.Mother-in-law

Zhang Dahai and Zhang Wangshi had already prepared the meal, and they were sitting in the courtyard looking forward to Zhang Erhu's return.

The house they live in is not too big, it was built and distributed to the relocated households when the military academy was first built. Although it is not as good as the mansions of the dignitaries, it is much better than before.

With such an outstanding son as Zhang Erhu, Zhang Dahai and his wife feel that life is sweeter than honey.

"It's time for the two tigers to come back." Mrs. Zhang looked at the sky, stood up from her chair, walked to the door and looked out, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

"Hey, I said how many times you have muttered, but you can't hold your breath at all."

"Aren't you worried about Erhu? I don't know how this trip to the city will be. Will His Majesty approve his marriage with Xiaohua?"

"I thought you wanted to know what kind of official His Majesty planned to promote Erhu? It turned out that he was worried about his son's marriage." Zhang Dahai joked.mother-in-law

"In my opinion, Erhu can marry Xiaohua home, give me two grandchildren, and live out my life in peace and stability. I am happier than being an official. I can come back once. It's good now, I've become an official, but I can send the two tigers to a place as far away as Ningxia in one go. I heard it's called a sheep or a river castle?

It's not easy to come back, it's better to work in the capital, even to teach at the military academy... We can still see our son often, right? "

"You, when your child was not an official, you thought every day that he would be promoted and make a fortune in the future, but now that he is an official, you feel far away. You have to stand alone for all the good things in the world. , Those soldiers guarding the frontier have left their hometowns, and you think so, our border guards in Ming Dynasty? A country, a country, a country can have a home~" Zhang Dahai earnestly educated Zhang Wang. .

"Yo? It's true that the son has become an official, and the awareness of being a father has also increased. I really can't tell."

"You know every day that Dong's parents and Li's family are short. How can you care about these? We all heard what the commentators on the city's bulletin boards said. It's true that my son became an official. I, as my father, don't have to Do you want to learn more? So as not to hinder your son! How do you say that word? This is called keeping pace with the times! Do you understand?"

"All right, all right, go in with the times. My old lady is going back to the house for dinner. If Er Hu hasn't come back at this point, he probably lives in the city. Don't wait for him."

"You eat, I will wait at the door for a while."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was about to enter the house, Zhang Dahai stood up from the chair and walked out the door.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Erhu walked in with a smile on his face.

"Father, mother, I'm back!"

"Two tigers!"

Mrs. Zhang Wang, who hadn't reached the main room, turned her head and shouted in surprise.

"Mom! Is there any food left?" Zhang Erhu called out.

"Yes~ you child." Mrs. Zhang looked at her son's face that was much more mature than before he left by the light in the room, and his face was full of kindness and pride.Mother-in-law

"The meal will be ready before dark, and your mother and I will wait for you to come back." Zhang Dahai interrupted with a smile on the side.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Zhang Erhu asked with concern. "It's so late, why are you waiting for me. Let's go, father and mother, let's eat together."

"Hey!"

The three of them entered the house together and sat down in the small main room.

The main room of a small family has the functions of receiving guests, eating, and relaxing, and Zhang Erhu's house is no exception.

The main room is not big, and there is no luxurious decoration, but Zhang Erhu feels that this is the most warm place.

There are no different types of food, two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, four dishes, chicken and meat, all Zhang Erhu likes to eat.He came back late yesterday and didn't have time to prepare, so he got up early today and went to the market to buy it.mother-in-law

Zhang Erhu, who was tired all day, was already hungry. Although there were many kinds of banquets in the palace at noon, they still couldn't fill their stomachs.

Besides, no matter how good the food is, it's not as good as my mother's cooking.

Zhang Erhu devoured his meal, and Zhang Dahai and his wife looked at him with relief.

"Eat slowly, people who are almost married, don't have a good appetite yet."

"Well, the rice cooked by mother is delicious." Zhang Erhu hesitated. "You don't know, I'm really tired of the food in the border town. We need some more in the customs, but when we go out to perform tasks, there are canned dry food every day. I have long wanted to eat the rice cooked by my mother."

"Well, eat more."

Zhang Wangshi quietly touched the corners of his eyes. Although his son didn't say anything, they could tell that Zhang Erhu must have suffered a lot.Mother-in-law

"By the way, speaking of marriage, what did His Majesty say about you and Xiao Hua?"

Seeing that Zhang Erhu had almost eaten, Zhang Dahai asked what they were most concerned about.

"His Majesty agrees!"

Hearing this, Zhang Erhu put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile.

"Really!? That's great!" Zhang Wang exclaimed in surprise. "Your father saved up the dowry gift the year before last, and he is waiting to marry Xiaohua in! Have you seen Xiaohua's mother? Do you know Xiaohua's birth date? I have to find a gentleman to see it this day, and I must choose one." Good day and auspicious day. Your zodiac signs are very compatible, it depends on your birthday..."

Zhang Wang asked a series of questions excitedly, and then couldn't stop.

"My father saved me a dowry?" Zhang Erhu smiled and looked at Zhang Dahai.Mother-in-law

"Hey, I have saved some. Your father and I have also saved a little bit of silver over the past few years~" Zhang Dahai said that this was indeed the case, with a slightly proud expression on his face.

"How much have you saved?"

"Not much, just over 160 taels!"

"so much!?"

Zhang Erhu was very surprised. During these years, he studied in the military academy and later worked in a border town. He basically never asked his family for money.

He knew that Zhang Dahai was taken care of openly and secretly, and he had done a lot of work, but it was a little unexpected for him to be able to save so much money.

"It's okay~" Zhang Dahai waved his hand.Mother-in-law

"Father, mother, you don't need to worry about my affairs. Now that my son has grown up, he can also make money. You should eat and drink on weekdays. Don't I send money home every month? Don't you saved it all?"

"Your mother said, it's time for you to get married, and you will buy a house in Beijing in the future. There are many places to spend money. We don't need to spend any money. You sent it back, and I also earn some, so I slowly saved it. .”

"Father..." Zhang Erhu opened his mouth.

"You haven't said yet, how much dowry do you plan to give to Xiaohua? Xiaohua is not an ordinary person, and the dowry must not be sloppy. Yi Niang said, just take out 100 taels of silver as the dowry! Other things, what are you buying? What, I must marry Xiao Hua home in a good manner."

Zhang Erhu looked at the happy and yearning smiles on his parents' faces, and after thinking about it, he still told the truth.

"Father, mother, Your Majesty has said that the dowry will be ten thousand and one taels of silver, representing one in a million."
