Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Mingyue and Shadan walked to the door and saw several villagers arguing. Mingyue went up to ask and learned that it was because of the dispute over the ownership of a pig.

Since the arrival of the Independent Regiment, the villagers' daily necessities have been guaranteed and protected.

Therefore, the village chief wanted to raise, slaughter and distribute these fat pigs in a unified way.

As a result, a family is getting married this winter. If they can eat a beautiful pig's head at the wedding, it means they will have a happy marriage.

Originally, the pig's head was to be distributed according to demand, but this family insisted on having it all to themselves, which was actually a way of thinking about their future marriage.

Feudal ideas are very serious in rural areas, which is why quarrels between neighbors arise.

After listening to the neighbors, Mingyue mediated patiently and finally resolved the conflict.

In this regard, Mingyue can be called the parent official of the masses. She really has her own way of handling relations with the masses. No wonder her sister became the county magistrate. This is obviously a tradition.

The villagers gave Mingyue a thumbs up and praised her intelligence.

Shadan looked at the bright moon, feeling a surge of admiration in his heart.

Back in the house, Shadan said to Mingyue: "You are really amazing. I will learn from you in the future when it comes to handling mass relations."

Mingyue smiled and said, "Let's learn from each other. But remember to call me next time when you have something delicious!"

The two smiled at each other and continued to enjoy the delicious food.

At this time, it started snowing outside, and the falling snowflakes brought a sense of tranquility and peace to the small village.

After having a good meal and a drink, Shadan and Mingyue returned to their base amid the farewell of the crowd.

Mingyue did not feel embarrassed at all when she went to her fellow villager's house for dinner. This was also a way of communication for her work.

Actually, Mingyue has obtained a lot of benefits for these people. Food and drink are no big deal, but they cannot take it. So she refused all the gifts given to Shadan and her by the people.

The two hummed a little tune and went back to sleep.

The days passed quietly, and time soon came to the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

This is a festival in the local rural areas. As an independent regiment, a small number of the newly recruited personnel are local people.

They also celebrate Laba Festival on this day.

The ingredients for Laba include coix seeds, longan, lotus seeds, lily, chestnuts, red dates, glutinous rice and beans.

Logically speaking, these things are not easy to get, especially since this year is a disaster year?

But doesn’t their team have a leader?

Faced with these material needs, Shadan certainly has a way to obtain sufficient quantities from the system.

At the first moment, the kind-hearted Mingyue happily invited Shadan to celebrate Laba Festival together, and carefully prepared all kinds of ingredients needed to make Laba porridge.

Shadan was also thinking about letting the common people and his teammates celebrate this wonderful holiday, so he led everyone to an ordinary cave without hesitation and successfully retrieved a lot of supplies.

I won’t go into detail about the steps.

This made the entire Changping area full of joy and peace, especially Qinjia Village was extremely lively, with people laughing and having fun.

Not only were the villagers' faces filled with happy smiles, but the innocent children were equally excited.

Qin Huairu brought her cute cousin Qin Jingru, who was only two or three years old, and skipped to Shadan, enthusiastically inviting him to her home to taste the delicious Laba porridge.

This was the first time that Shadan had seen the young Qin Jingru. He couldn't help but sigh, "Oh! She's really as good as her reputation says. This little girl has grown up to be so pretty and beautiful. She looks exactly like her sister Qin Huairu. They are both born beautiful!"

Looking at the graceful Qin Huairu, Shadan rested his chin on his hand and thought: Wouldn't it be better if I could intercept Jia Dongxu in a few years and marry both cousins ​​with my brother?

Thinking of this, an obscene smile appeared on his face.

But then I thought about the fact that they were from the countryside, and I quickly put this idea out of my mind.

"Captain, what are you laughing at? You look so scary!" Qin Huairu, who was standing aside, looked at the silly boy who was grinning non-stop with fear and felt creepy in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Shadan suddenly came back to his senses, with a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Uh... nothing, I just suddenly remembered the sweet and delicious taste of Laba porridge, which made me yearn for it."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt relieved a little, but then she invited him warmly: "In this case, why don't you just come home with me to drink Laba porridge! My parents have specially asked me to invite you over. If you go too late, you might be snatched away by other villagers!"

After hearing this, Shadan scratched his head in confusion: "Ah? Am I so popular?" He really couldn't understand why he was so popular.

Qin Huairu nodded very confidently and said seriously: "Of course not, there are many people in our Qinjia Village who are grateful to you, at least more than 90% of them!" As she spoke, she took Shadan's arm and walked home, as if she was afraid that he would really be snatched away by someone else.

Shadan followed Qin Huairu to her home, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt the strong festive atmosphere.

The Qin family welcomed him warmly, and the table was filled with fragrant Laba porridge.

Shadan enjoyed this sumptuous dinner with the Qin family. There was eight-treasure porridge and pork left over from slaughtering pigs a few days ago, all of which were made into delicious dishes for him to taste. During the dinner, everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

The common people took out all the good things in their homes to entertain him, which was a sign of their recognition of him in their hearts.

At this moment, Shadan felt that the Eighth Route Army had integrated into the people.

After the meal, Shadan helped clean up the dishes, showing his hardworking side.

Qin Huairu's parents were very satisfied with Shadan and praised him as a down-to-earth and reliable young man.

But it was impossible for such a high-ranking regiment leader to come and clean the house, so he was quickly stopped by Qin Huairu's mother, and Shadan was praised several times again.

As a 12-year-old shadan, he felt very happy to hear these compliments. He felt that his popularity in Qinjia Village had increased a lot.

It was late at night when I left Qin Huairu's house.

As Shadan walked along the road, he secretly thought: I have to find an opportunity to thank the villagers for their kindness. After all, with so many people supporting us, the work of the independent group will be smoother...

But on the way back, Shadan was walking when he suddenly felt as if something tripped his feet, and then he fell forward.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and used his hands to support the ground in time, so he did not fall too badly.

After standing up, Shadan took a closer look and was stunned - what tripped him was not something else, but Mingyue who was squatting on the ground!

"What are you doing?" Shadan yelled at Mingyue angrily, "It's so cold, the ground is either snow or ice, what if I really get hurt? You'll be in trouble then!"
