General Zhenyuan nodded slightly, "Yes." This is a reclamation plan, and you will naturally understand it after reading it. ”

The man in black wearing a brass mask stepped forward, took out a book fold from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Xia Qingyun.

"After reading, please go to the military tent to discuss." The general's tone was calm and unwavering, and the reflection of the silver mask made it difficult for Xia Qingyun to see his eyes clearly.

Seeing him lead his troops away, Xia Qingyun was full of doubts in his heart.

It happened so coincidentally that inexplicably, this Zhenyuan general became his savior. If he proposed to put the industry of Qingyun Tea Garden in the plan of reclamation and garrisoning, how should he decide? He just ordered that if anyone who does not comply, he will be punished as treason, could it be that the Xia family will get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth again?

Hua Yun saw that she was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, what did the general give you?" ”

Xia Qingyun flipped the fold of the book in his hand, "I don't know, I'll go back and take a look." ”

Dad said worriedly: "What about the children in the second and third families, and the old lady, no, I have to go to the old house to see!" ”

"Daddy! Your legs aren't good yet, so let's go home first. Xia Qingyun persuaded.

The mother was afraid that her father would be in a hurry, and she was worried about his body, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "Yes, his father, you go back first, and Yinglan and I will go over and have a look." If it really doesn't work, I will take my mother over, and there is a house at home. Those children are not young anymore, I think Kaitai is still good, although Yuan Pei and Yuan Hao are lazy, more discipline and discipline will be changed. ”

"Sister-in-law, let's go now, the old lady may not know what to do now." Xia Yinglan picked her up with a sad face, and the two went to the old mansion as companions.

In the old mansion, Xia Jian'an's two sons, Xia Yuanhao and Xia Yuanpei, and Xia Jiaxi's son Xia Kaitai were sitting at their respective doors in a daze.

When Xia Kaitai saw them coming in, he stood up in panic and shouted helplessly: "Auntie! ”

When he heard what his father and mother had done, he couldn't raise his head in shame.

"Kaitai, where's your milk?" Xia Yinglan took pity on him and asked, stroking his head.

"Milk has been crying for a day." Xia Kaitai pointed to the inside and muttered: "Sister-in-law, aunt, my father and mother, they are sorry"

Yuan Hao and Yuan Pei sat on the threshold, without the spirit of the past, and drooped their heads silently.

"Alas!" Xia Qingyun's mother sighed, looking at the old mansion and the three children who had suddenly deserted, "Your father and mother don't do your business, have you eaten lunch?" ”

The three children shook their heads together.

"Yinglan, you go to see your mother first, and I'll cook some food for the children." My mother rolled up her sleeves and was about to go to the kitchen.

"Auntie, I'll help you light the fire." Kaitai whispered.

"Come," the mother took him, and beckoned Yuan Hao and Yuan Pei, "You are also together." ”

She walked to the kitchen with her three children.

Xia Yinglan pushed open the door of the house, and the old lady sat cross-legged on the kang, counting a handful of snot and tears:

"Death! Something without conscience! This family is so scattered, how can I go to see your underground father! You two were killed by the sky, but let go of a good life, but I believe in that woman, go to seek the wealth and life of your eldest brother's family, and die! Leave half of the eldest son and the old lady, how can we live! ”

"Mother"

Xia Yinglan's heart was sour, and she walked closer and called in a trembling voice.

"Yinglan, Yinglan! Mother, I'm sorry, your retribution, it's all retribution. ”

Mother and daughter hugged and cried.

After a while, Xia Yinglan wiped away her tears for her mother, "Mother, don't worry, there are also me and my eldest brother and sister-in-law, who will take care of you and Yuan Hao." The sister-in-law also came and was cooking for the children in the kitchen. I'll pack up my things, and when I'm done, you'll go with us to live in the courtyard." ”

"Yinglan, I'm not going! You just let me live by myself, and I can't complain about others."

The old lady felt ashamed, felt sorry for the boss's family, and had no face to come to the door.

As soon as the curtain rang, Xia Qingyun's mother came in from outside.

"Mother, how can you let yourself live here by yourself! My father and my child, as well as my sister-in-law and uncle, didn't agree! Don't worry about your old man, just move in steadfastly, and your grandchildren will be filial to you! ”

The mother changed her temper in the old mansion of the Xia family before, and spoke neatly. As he spoke, he asked Xia Yinglan to pack his luggage together.

"Just bring a few changes of clothes, the bedding is ready-made, it's all new."

"I'm sorry for you!" The old lady turned her face away, and the old tears were all over the place.

Xia Qingyun's mother pursed her lips and sat on the side of the kang to hold her mother-in-law's hand.

"Mother, look at what you said, how can there be a father and mother who can't live with their children! If you hadn't raised Jianping, where would I find such a good husband! Now that life is better, Jianping and Qingyun have long wanted to take you over, and you should enjoy Qingfu when you are old. In a few months, Yinglan will be born, and you will have to hug your grandson! ”

"What, Yinglan is pregnant? When? The old lady asked urgently.

How can there be a mother who doesn't feel sorry for her daughter, although she doesn't like her to have a wilting idea and ran away with Wu Chen, but she still thinks about it in her heart.

"Just the month before, just like when I was pregnant with Huayun, I was very happy, and eighty percent was a boy."

This good news somewhat diluted the old lady's sorrow, she cheered up, and then picked up the two burdens together, Xia Qingyun's mother helped a few children clean up and took them back to the house together.

Xia Qingyun was reading the book fold in the study, and the girl came in with a pot to add water, and said, "Miss, Mrs. told me to tell you, I have already brought the old lady and them, and they are talking in the hall at this time." ”

"Okay, I'll go over here."

She put away the fold of the book, thought about it, took out two more hangings of money, and took them to the hall.

The hall was full of people, and the Xia family and Hua Ling were all there.

Dad put the old lady in the upper seat and introduced her one by one.

For the first time in her life, the old lady entered such a spacious house, and looked at the decoration in the house, and was secretly surprised.

I always heard the people in the village say that the old family made a fortune, but I didn't expect to have such a big family business, no wonder the two of the second and third children were red-eyed.

It's a shame that the boss is really good-eyed, and he married a sensible mother-in-law, why didn't he find out their goodness before? Alas, what an old fool!

"I've seen the old lady, say hello to the old lady!" The people in the house knelt down in unison and saluted the old lady.

I can hear people call myself an old lady, and I am a little uncomfortable.

"Milk, the people kowtow to you, give a few copper plates." Xia Qingyun smiled and stuffed the money in his hand into his grandmother's arms.

"This" the old lady blushed, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Xia Qingyun pursed her lips and said for her: "The old lady rewarded each person with ten copper plates, so hurry up!" ”

"Qingyun girl, before the milk" The old lady said halfway, and she couldn't stop shedding tears again.

"Milk, don't think about it, since you're here, you can live steadily, you don't have to do anything, and enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren." Xia Qingyun sat down next to her grandmother and said comforting words.

The old lady was both happy and ashamed in her heart, she took out two pieces of yellow paper from her arms and put them on the table, and said to Xia Qingyun and his father: "Boss, this is the title deed of the old house and the field, you keep it." ”

Dad hurriedly got up and picked up the title deed and re-stuffed it to the old lady.

"Mother, what are you doing! You live a long life, these are the aftermath! ”

The old lady lowered her head and waved her hand again and again, "I can forget it alone, as well as Yuanhao Yuanpei and Kaitai, how can you raise it!" There is such a little foundation at home, if I hadn't hidden it well, maybe I would have let the second and third children touch it and sell it. Don't dislike it, it's the right to pay for the meals of our grandparents. ”

"It's not going to be okay. Filial piety to you is deserved, how can a son take your old book! Dad dodged away and insisted on not accepting the title deed handed over by his mother.

Xia Qingyun said: "Milk, don't be embarrassed for my father." You take these title deeds, and I will send someone to clean the old house tomorrow, if you are bored, go over and go around. The fields are rented to the people of the village for planting, and all the rent collected every year is collected by you as pocket money. It's good to buy candy for our grandchildren during the New Year's holidays! ”

The old lady secretly blamed herself for being biased and biased before.

Look at the eldest family, prosperous, and harmonious, this is called life.

In the past, in the old house, the two sons were lazy to eat, and the daughter-in-law had a temper when she saw the sky, and there was no time when she was not blocked.

The girl came in and saluted, "Madam, the old lady and the young master's house has been cleaned up, and the things have been moved in." ”

"Mother, I'll go over with you to rest." Xia Yinglan got up and said.

"Not busy."

The old lady beckoned and asked Yuan Hao's three children to come over.

"Kowtow to your uncle and aunt. Your father and mother violated the royal law, if it weren't for the kindness of your uncle and aunt, you wouldn't even have a decent home. In the future, you have to listen to the words of the uncle and aunt, listen to the words of your sister Qingyun and Brother Huayun, don't learn from your father and mother to break your conscience! ”

The three children knelt down and kowtowed together.

"Get up, all of you." Daddy said in a loud voice.

The old lady said again: "Boss, the children have bothered you, you should be beaten and scolded in the future, just like your own children, don't be reluctant!" Don't let them go the wrong way! Alas! ”

"Mother, don't worry, Yuan Hao and they are the same as Hua Yun, they have to learn to do what they should do, and they will have a chance when they grow up." Xia Qingyun's mother said, picked up the old lady with Xia Yinglan, and helped her into the house.

After settling the mother and the child, Xia Qingyun's father finally relieved half of his heart.

He stroked his injured leg and said: "Qingyun, such a toss, the manpower of the mountain wasteland will be tight in the future!" The people in the village are afraid that they will not dare to come to work in the future, what can be done? Why don't you go out and hire some people? ”

Xia Qingyun said: "Dad, don't worry. There are no such splashes in the village, so it will stop a lot. When this is over, people will still have to come out to earn wages. Isn't General Zhenyuan going to send someone to reclaim the border, I'll go and discuss it with him, maybe I don't have to worry about manpower. ”

"That's, that's." Dad responded, and told him uneasily: "I see that the general is not very good-tempered, and if he says to kill, he will kill people, you have to speak carefully, don't anger him!" ”

"You know, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Xia Qingyun took the book fold from the study and went straight to the outside of General Zhenyuan's military tent.
