When the world is tough, people age very quickly.
If we really want to talk about age, Wang Dang is only thirty-one years old this year.
When he was twenty years old, he married Ahe in the spring and gave birth to a son in the winter, that is, Wang Shao.
Na Tu Er got married a few years earlier than him.
Now his eldest son is fifteen years old.
The second is a daughter who is fourteen this year.
There is also a younger son who is the same age as Wang Shao and is twelve years old.
When it comes to young men who are about the same age as his second wife, the first thing that comes to Wang's mind is Xu Dalang's eldest son, who is fifteen years old this year, has a good appearance and is quite responsible.
If we talk about the family, then the Tu family is indeed a bit reluctant to marry the Xu family.
The business of the Xu family's guest house is booming now, and it relies on the big tree of Luo Sanlang.
As long as there are no natural disasters, it goes without saying that his family's life will be better.
It must be better to get better.
But marrying a virtuous wife, it doesn’t matter if the family wealth is thicker or thinner.
Wang Dang thinks so anyway.
From his point of view, Tu Erniang is hard-working and gentle, so it is definitely wrong to marry her as his daughter-in-law.
No, I just don’t know what Xu’s family thinks.
After gathering enough mulberries and looking for some red dates from an acquaintance's house, Wang Dang and his party returned to Lishi County.
On this day, Luo Yong and his disciples were sowing grass seeds on the field.
They saw Wang Dang and others pushing several wooden carts from a distance, so they finished the work on hand, packed up the farm tools, and followed Wang thought they should go together.
We hadn't seen each other for a few days, and everyone was very happy now.
They chatted and laughed all the way.
I don’t know whether it’s because the population is very sparse in this era, so it seems particularly precious, or something else.
It’s always easy to establish feelings between people.
After people like Wang Dang and others have lived here for a period of time, whenever they come back from outside recently, when they see Luo Yong and his disciples or the villagers of Xipo Village, they feel as if they are meeting family members, and they feel particularly cordial to them.
My heart is also very peaceful.
Luo Yong and the others were similar.
If one day they heard that Wang Dang and others failed to come back on the expected date, they would inevitably feel a little worried, fearing that they would encounter bad guys and robbers.
In this era, there are wilderness areas everywhere, and there are not many people around.
A few people are walking outside.
If they are harmed by evil people, there is no place to look for them.
We were chatting and laughing all the way to the Xu family guest house.
Just in time for the oily dumplings to come out in the evening, twenty or thirty old men poured into the shop and occupied half of the hall.
They didn't order anything else. , each person comes first with two cents worth of big buns.
The Xu family's fat buns cost three for one penny, and six for two cents.
The hot buns were served one after another.
These men were also hungry, so they grabbed them with their hands and ate them all.
Very fragrant.
Luo Yong ordered a few more cold dishes and a few hot dishes.
His disciples also did a day's work for him today.
At times like this, if he didn't treat anyone, who would treat them?
"If you don't dislike this dumpling soup, there will be more in the future."
Aunt Luo and Lin Wulang each came up with a tray filled with bowls of snow-white dumpling soup.
The dumplings made by the couple are now famous in this area.
The more the dumplings are cooked, the more soup will naturally be added.
The couple is not willing to throw them away.

They drink a lot and have a lot of soup.
Adults and children at home, when they are thirsty, they go over there and drink a bowl.
It is more flavorful than plain water and also nourishes people.
"There is nothing to dislike.
This is soup made from thin white noodles."
Just eating steamed buns is a bit dry.
It's just right to have hot soup at this time.
They come from poor people, who can dislike this.
Luo Yong also joined them, eating dumpling soup and steamed buns.
After a while, several plates of hot and cold dishes were served, and the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively.
"This time over at Mengmenguan, we heard someone say that someone on the grassland in the north has made soap.
The price is the same as here, which is five cents a piece."
"I heard that some merchants were bargaining with them, but those barbarians heard the news from somewhere, saying that the soap here sells for five cents a piece, and they also want to sell it for five cents a piece.
They will bite you to death, and it will cost you anything less.
Refuse to sell."
"How much do you sell this batch of soap to Dinghu this time?"
Luo Yong asked them.
"Twelve cents a piece."
Wang Dang replied.
It's not a short journey from Mengmen Pass to the prairie.
Besides, those Hu people have just learned soap making.
Who knows the quality of the soap they make at this time?
Where can I find soap produced by the Luo family that is stable and reliable, even if the price is higher?
, there are also merchants willing to buy it.
Speaking of which, this soap business is really profitable.
Their one trip can equal the profits of several previous trips, but the oil is too difficult to buy.
"When you clear out the fields over there, you will have to raise pigs for a few days," Nayang Dalang asked the Xu brothers and others.
"It should be necessary."
Not only raising pigs, but also chickens and geese.
This meal didn't take too long.
I was tired after a whole day.
Now that I've filled my stomach, it's natural to wash up and have a rest.
Luo Yong returned to the Luo family yard, checked the quantity of mulberries and red dates with Wang Dang and others, asked them to help move the goods to the back warehouse, and then paid the money for the goods.
That night, he Let’s start making mulberry soap.
"I have been doing farm work in the fields for a day today, why do I have to make soap at night?"
Er Niang saw Luo Yong taking out some more white powder and mixing lye in the yard, so she knew that he would make soap again tonight.
This caustic soda will emit a strange smell when it comes into contact with water.
Saburo said that smelling the smell can make you sick, so he usually does this in a ventilated place in the yard, and does not let children at home come near.
"I harvested two batches of grass seeds in the past two days, and asked them to join the queue again.
The merchants behind me were also a little embarrassed."
Luo Yong used a custom-made ceramic rod to stir the alkali solution in the jar and slowed down the speed of adding alkali.
When the caustic alkali reacts with water, the temperature will rise a lot at once, so every time he prepares this solution he has to Take your time, don't rush.
"Otherwise, let me do it."
Er Niang said.
"You just go to sleep, I will sleep later tomorrow."

Luo Yong said nonchalantly.
It's nothing to him to stay up all night, not even all night, not even in the middle of the night.
His soap making equipment is very easy to use, and he has accumulated a lot of experience now, making soap faster than It used to be much faster.
As a result, that night, just as Luo Yong started to work here, Er Niang and Peng Er came over together.
Each of them moved a small bench and sat at the door of the soap making room, cleaning the soap molds with bamboo skewers.
When the previous soaps were unmolded, some of them were not removed properly, and some soap crumbs were stuck in the mold.
Occasionally, one or two such situations did not matter, but too many would not work, and the entire batch of soaps would be damaged.
I can't even look at it, so the soap mold needs to be cleaned regularly.
After cleaning a batch of soap molds, they unmoulded a batch of soap made two days ago, and then also cleaned the batch of soap molds.
After finishing these things, Er Niang said she was hungry again, and cooked some buns with Peng Er.
After Peng Er had eaten a few mouthfuls, he replaced Luo Yong and asked him to eat some buns first. .
Luo Yong sat at the door with a bowl of buns and ate it one bite at a time.
Inside the room, Peng Er was pushing the mixer around, while Er Niang was adding firewood under the stove.
In the pottery cauldron, a large pot of soap liquid is being processed using the juice of soaked dried mulberries as the water phase.
It is purple-red with pink and white in it.
The color looks much brighter than mugwort soap, and the smell is better. , it should be loved by female users.
After the saponification reaction was completed, the three of them gathered around the pottery cauldron, scooped out the soap liquid from the cauldron with a water ladle, and poured it into the mold.
In a short time, the large pot of soap liquid was poured into the mold neatly.
Placed on a wall shelf.
With the help of the two of them, Luo Yong seemed particularly relaxed that night.
Luo Yong was used to doing everything by himself.
After coming here, suddenly a large group of brothers and sisters appeared, and some things began to become very different.
For example, like tonight, I thought I would stay up late alone, but Erniang and the others came to help me.
To be honest, he doesn't hate working alone.
He actually enjoys the nights when he works alone.
He originally thought he would be a little repelled by the appearance of Erniang and the others, but it turned out to be the opposite.
He quite enjoyed the fact that someone cared about him. , and also happy to make work easier.
This surprised him a bit.
Luo Yong had always believed that people would not change.
Now it seems that he may have been wrong.
Or perhaps, he is not that withdrawn in nature.
The so-called withdrawal is just a shield used to protect himself.
However, a truly strong man does not need to hide behind a shield.
Nor does he have to avoid unwarranted harm by expecting nothing from anyone.
Luo Yong was lying on the unlit kang with a thin quilt.
Outside the window was his square backyard.
In the sky in the backyard was a sky full of stars.
The night wind carried the starlight and blew on his cheeks. cool.
That night, in this desolate and warm world, Luo Yong felt that he had grown up again.
Growth is a different process for everyone.
Just like the small trees he planted on the hillside outside, if taken good care of, they will grow stronger year after year.
Some small trees were very lucky.
They were very healthy when they were shipped here, and they were planted on fertile land, so those small trees grew exceptionally smoothly.
There are also some small trees that are very unlucky and have been injured for various reasons, so growing up becomes an extremely difficult task for them.
On that hillside, there were some small trees that looked dry, but Luo Yong was not willing to dig them out.

He believes they are all trying to sink their roots deeper into the soil.
