When Yunqing arrived at the main courtyard, Yuxi happened to be applying medicine to jujubes, so he was waiting outside. It wasn't until the jujube was coated with the medicine that he entered the house.

When Zao Zao saw Yunqing, he shouted happily, "Daddy......"

Yun Qing looked at the jujube from head to toe, and then nodded with a look of relief: "I have grown taller, and I am also energetic." "Today's jujube is like a sword out of the sheath, extremely powerful.

Yuxi glanced at Yunqing, and then at the jujube. It is estimated that in a few years, jujube will not only look like Yunqing, but also look like this momentum.

Yunqing asked Zao Zao about his life in the barracks during this time. Without waiting for Zao Zao to answer, Yuxi said: "It's not too late to wait for Brother Hao to be there in the evening." "Let Brother Hao and the four brothers listen to Zao Zao talk about their experience in the army, so that they can also understand more about the difficulties of the soldiers in front.

Zao Zao didn't refuse, and said, "Mother, then I'll go and change my clothes." "She's been wearing this garment for five days. It's winter now, and if it's summer, I'm afraid it'll be rancid.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Wash the smell on this body first." "This smell, I'm afraid I haven't taken a bath for a few days.

Liu Er is uncomfortable without bathing for a day, and she has to incense in the house every once in a while. And jujubes, I don't feel anything if I don't take a bath for ten days and a half. The gap between sisters of the same mother is not ordinarily large.

After hearing this, Zao Zao said: "Mother, let's go to the club tomorrow? Soak it now, and the medicine will be in vain." ”

Yun Qing was not happy when he heard this, and said with a calm face: "Zao Zao, do you talk like this?

Zao Zao hurriedly explained: "Dad, I didn't mean that. I think it's too wasteful, this wash, twenty taels of silver is gone!" That small bottle of medicine is estimated to only be applied two or three times, and this time it will not be twenty taels of silver.

Yun Qing was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "What is the twenty taels that are lost as soon as you wash it?"

Yuxi wanted to laugh and held back.

Zao Zao said: "It's the jade skin cream? A bottle costs eighty taels of silver, and you can only use it two or three times when you look at a bottle." This is not more than twenty taels of silver at a time. I've just gotten the medicine, and if I go to the shower, it's going to be wasted. ”

Yun Qing was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only after half a sound did he hold back a sentence: "Daddy doesn't owe you this money." ”

Zao Zao has his own thoughts: "Dad, it's not a matter of not bad money, it's just a waste." After a pause, Zao Zao said: "Dad, the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers in the army is only two taels of silver. I baptized twenty taels of silver, which was equal to a year's salary for them. "When I went deep into the barracks, I realized that it was not easy for the soldiers at the bottom. This also makes the already very economical jujube more and more saving.

Yunqing expressed his satisfaction at this: "Zao Zao has grown up and is sensible. "It's because he knows that it's not easy for low-level soldiers, and he has spent a lot of effort on it over the years. Today, the lives of the officers and men in the army have been greatly improved.

Zao Zao said: "Looking at them, I feel ashamed to think that I used to always pick and choose when I ate. "Actually, jujube just doesn't like to eat vegetables, but the rest is fine. The six sisters and brothers are really picky eaters of Liu'er, and if they don't fit their appetite, they won't eat it. It's also thanks to Bai's mother's good craftsmanship, otherwise I would really have to worry.

Yuxi opened his mouth and said: "The soldiers in the army can be fed and clothed, they can see meat twice a month, and the military salary is also paid on time, but do you know what kind of life the soldiers in Yucheng lived thirteen years ago?" Therefore, it is certainly impossible to increase military salaries.

Zao Zao said in a low voice: "I know, I heard Grandpa and Uncle Xu mention it. In the past, the soldiers in Yucheng did not have enough food and clothing, and their military salaries were often in arrears. But the soldiers still held on to Yucheng. "The lives of the soldiers at that time were not comparable to those now.

After speaking, Zao Zao explained: "Mother, I don't mean anything else, I just think that they are not having an easy time, and compared with them, I feel like I have fallen into a blessed nest." ”

Hearing this, Yuxi couldn't help laughing: "Reincarnation is a technical job, and this proves that you have a good tire." ”

When Zao Zao heard this, he walked over and put his arm around Yuxi and said, "Mother is right, I am a good baby." It is my greatest luck to be my father's daughter. After a trip, she realized how lucky she was. Not only did her father and mother not stop her from joining the army, but paved the way for her. Other people's families are not so generous.

Yuxi poked Zaojube's forehead and said with a smile: "The mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." ”

At this time, Tong Fang came over and said, "Lord, princess, the water has been put away." ”

When Yuxi heard this, he said, "Go take a bath and get rid of the smell on your body." Otherwise, Liu'er and Brother Hao'er will have to retreat when they see you. As for the medicine, this time my mother didn't think it through, and my mother will pay attention to it in the future. She actually just wanted the jujube to feel the effect of the drug, and she didn't think that it would be a waste to do so. Today, Zao Zao can be regarded as a lesson for her.

Having said that, if you don't go to the bath, you won't be sensible. Zao Zao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After Zao Zao went out, Yun Qing joked: "Fortunately, we are our father and mother, otherwise let outsiders hear it, and think that we are harshly accusing her?"

Yuxi said angrily: "Your father and daughter are the same, and in the end, they will be mine." ”

Seeing this, Meilan immediately retreated. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Liu Er taking the maid into the courtyard. Meilan said loudly: "Lord, princess, the second county lord is here." ”

Not long after Liu Er arrived, the four brothers Hao Ge'er and Rui Ge'er also came over. The four of them entered the house, and Brother Rui looked around and hurriedly asked, "Mother, didn't you say that the eldest sister is back?"

Brother You said unceremoniously: "Second brother, you are so stupid. The eldest sister has just come back, and she must wash up and change her clothes. Mother, am I right?"

Yuxi deliberately said with a straight face: "Your second brother is in a hurry to see your eldest sister, not stupid." If I hear you say such things next time, my mother won't spare me. Although it is just a joke, Yuxi does not condone this bad habit.

Brother You stuck out his tongue and said, "Mother, I don't dare anymore." "Since the date of copying the "Diamond Sutra" has been enlightened, whoever has done something wrong will copy and recite the scriptures, and the meaning of the scriptures will also be familiar. Brother You received such a punishment once, and after that, he was honest.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Liu Er and Brother Hao couldn't help but look towards the door. Seeing people from outside walk in, the five sisters and brothers all stood in place.

I saw that Zao Zao was wearing a fruit-green cross-shirt woven into a butterfly pattern with gold silk money, and his body was as tall and slender as a budding Lan Hui. Her black and shiny hair is draped around her waist like a waterfall, making her look pretty and lovely.

Brother Hao was the first to react and shouted: "Eldest sister." "No wonder everyone is so surprised, it's the first time they've seen jujube wearing a skirt since they were young.

Brother Rui is much more direct: "Eldest sister, how do you wear a skirt, I look so awkward when you look like this!"

Zao Zao looked at Yuxi and said with a bitter face: "I'm also awkward, but this is what my mother wants me to wear." "She was bathing in the main courtyard, and the skirt was sent by Banxia. If you don't wear it, you can still come out naked?

Hearing that it was Yuxi who wanted to wear jujubes, Brother Rui immediately shut up. She didn't dare to make her mother angry, otherwise she would wait to copy and memorize the scriptures!

Yun Qing coughed and said, "If you are not used to it, you will change it when you return to the hospital!" Not only Brother Rui, but he was also very awkward when he saw it, okay.

Yuxi said angrily: "What to change? Zao Zao is a girl, what's wrong with wearing a skirt?" After speaking, Yuxi said to Zao Zao: "You just said that you can't waste it." My mother has made you several of these clothes, and the minimum of these clothes is a few dozen taels of silver, and if you don't wear them, you will waste them. "Yuxi is not an exaggeration, the children's clothes are made of high-quality materials, plus embroidery skills, so a few dozen taels are considered less.

Zao Zao touched his nose and felt as if he had jumped into a pit he had dug himself.

Brother Hao held back a smile and changed the topic: "Eldest sister, I heard that you have been promoted again, and now you are from the deputy thousand households of Wupin." Big sister, is this true?"

Brother Rui'er's attention shifted suddenly: "Eldest sister, can you tell us how you killed bandits and how you killed the enemy?"

Zao Zao started from the first time she suppressed bandits. Yuxi listened carefully at first, and after listening for a while, he couldn't listen anymore. Zaojube's eloquence is so good, she talks about the ups and downs, and those who don't know think she's telling a story!

Yunqing coughed and said, "You go on, I'll go out with your mother to talk about something." Yunqing couldn't listen to it anymore. It's a bit too much to praise yourself for two sentences, but to praise yourself as if the god of war has descended to earth. It's just that Yunqing is not good at losing the face of jujube in front of Hao Geer and others.

The husband and wife went to the study, and Yun Qing said: "This girl is not afraid of the cowhide being blown out." If that bandit and robber were so unbearable, how could they have been entrenched in the mountains and do evil for so many years.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I heard that there are many bragging rights in the army, and Zao Zao is probably influenced by them. You can talk to her about this. ”

Yun Qing said: "If you don't learn it, you can learn all these nonsense things." Yin Zhaofeng is too, he won't look at it, how can he let this stupid girl mix with those soldiers. "Yunqing also climbed up from the bottom, how can you not know that some soldiers like to brag.

The dinner in the evening is very hearty, and most of the dishes on it are jujube jujubes that I like to eat. If it weren't for Yuxi to stop him, I'm afraid that the jujube would be eaten again.

Zao Zao touched his stomach and said, "Mother, you don't know, what I miss most in the army is the dishes made by Mother Bai." The food in the army is almost the same as pig food. ”

Brother Xuan interjected: "Eldest sister, didn't you eat pig food for more than half a year?"

Liu Er's heart moved when she heard this: "Eldest sister, the army is dangerous and hard, then don't go!" Therefore, she really hopes that Zao Zao will not go again.

Zao Zao deeply regretted the gaffe just now, and snorted: "Actually, the food in the army is not so bad, but Mother Bai's craftsmanship is so good that I can't get used to the food there." ”

How could Yuxi not know that Zao Zao was unintentional, so he smiled and said: "Zao Zao, you are tired after so many days, go and rest early! "She knows everything about jujube in Guangxi, so there is nothing special to ask.

Zao Zao is very tired, these days because of the concern about Yuxi's illness has been in a hurry and did not have a good rest, immediately nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Seeing this, Brother Rui hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, continue to talk to us tomorrow!" He was just listening excitedly, and he didn't know that it was time for dinner.

Liu Er followed to the courtyard of Zaojube, and when she entered the house, Liu Er said, "Eldest sister, the battlefield is so dangerous, you better not go." She was terrified when she heard it.

Zao Zao was a little surprised and said, "Is it dangerous? I don't think so." She felt that it was a great accomplishment to kill bandits, robbers and enemy soldiers.

Liu Er was anxious and said, "You are all injured, it's not dangerous? This time it was lucky that you were injured in your leg, so what if you want to be injured in other vital places?" The sister's relationship has always been very good, and she is really worried that something will happen to Zao Zao.

Zao Zao smiled and said, "No." I'm wearing armor, and the armor my mother gave me is invulnerable!" After speaking, he covered his mouth and said, "Liu'er, I'm very sleepy and want to sleep." What's the matter, shall we talk about it tomorrow?"

Liu Er is not stupid, how can she not know that Zao Zao is looking for an excuse to avoid this topic. Liu Er immediately said, "Eldest sister, I know you don't want to hear me say these things. But I'm really worried, it's too dangerous on the battlefield, and I'm afraid that something will happen to you. ”

Zao Zao sat on the edge of the bed and said to Liu'er: "Sister, everyone has their own ambitions. Since I was a child, my ambition was to become a female general, you know? If I give up because of the slightest danger, it is not called ambition. "She's been working hard for that ambition.

Liu Er finally left with red eyes.

Zao Zao said helplessly: "She thinks it's dangerous for me to go to the battlefield, and I also think that playing the piano and painting is a waste of time and life!" But everyone has their own ambitions, and this is something that Liu Er likes, so she never expresses an opinion on it.

Qiu He didn't answer, turned around and went to get the medicine and said, "County Lord, I'll apply medicine to you!"

Zao Zao nodded, looked at the porcelain bottle and couldn't help but say, "This medicine is really expensive." ”

Qiu He said with a smile: "As long as it has an effect, it is worth the price." "If you can leave no scars, Qiu He really thinks that eighty taels is not expensive.

Zao Zao didn't think so, and said: "It's not a scar on the face, a scar is a scar." I never thought that my future husband would dislike her for this. When you are strong enough, you won't even think about what you have and don't.

Qiu He didn't say anything more, only lowered his head and gave the jujube medicine. Because it was useless to say it, she still saved some saliva.
