In Jinyang City, Jiang Fu was carrying a burden in his hand, which contained the newspaper made by the division commander he had just received, and when he returned to his home in Jinyang, the injuries on his body were not yet healed, and he was still limping when he walked.

In the battle of Jinyang, the twentieth army suffered heavy casualties, all the outpost positions were lost, and in the entire Jinyang theater, only some important cities were left that were not conquered by the Qin army, but only one fortress at the forefront guarded by Jiangfu Town, to the end of the war, the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Han Dynasty was still flying, and the whole battalion was more than 1,500 people, and finally only more than 200 scarred people remained.

Jiang Fu has become an example of the First Military Region's strong promotion in this war, as long as there is still a flag fluttering in the war zone, it does not mean that these places have completely fallen, and the military report of the First Military Region to the imperial court is of course much better, and such a war miracle is not every time. After the battle, Jiang Fu was promoted from battalion commander to division commander, and he was considered to have sat on the cupola cannon and soared into the sky.

Of course, this is also because the losses of the Twentieth Army were too serious, and a large number of officers died on the battlefield.

Jiang Fu took the rest of his soldiers back to Jinyang City, as a pacesetter unit, they naturally got the standard of far ordinary treatment, good doctors, good medicinal materials, but even so, among the brothers who came back, there were still several who did not survive and closed their eyes forever.

Even if Jiang Fu was used to seeing life and death, he had rolled on the edge of the field several times, but when those brothers closed their eyes, he still cried.

Pushing open the door, the smell of stewed meat immediately wafted into the nostrils. "I'm back!" He screamed.

The house immediately became lively, the father-in-law and the mother-in-law appeared at the door with a child, they are all honest local farmers, after Jiang Fu became the battalion commander, they were also taken to Jinyang City, the land outside the city was rented to other races, and the two old men helped the women take care of the children in the city. As a battalion commander, his salary is still enough to feed his family. Besides, the old man is not very old, but he is in his forties, and in Jinyang City, he can earn a lot of money by doing odd jobs casually.

Jiang Fu's attitude is not to seek to be rich and rich, but to ask for the safety of his family, he has no family, so he regards his wife's family as his relatives. Of course. For this son-in-law who is an officer, the father-in-law and mother-in-law are still a little afraid.

"I'm back!" The old man stretched out his hand to pick up the burden in Jiang Fu's hand, his face was full of smiles, the deeds of his son-in-law are now known to everyone in the entire Jinyang City, and there is already a storyteller who compiled Jiang Fu's experience into a record book and sang it in the teahouse.

The old man was very proud, he didn't know how big an official the division commander was, but he knew that his son-in-law could now command more than 10,000 soldiers, in the eyes of the old man. That's pretty remarkable.

handed the burden in his hand to the old man, took the child with his hand, and pinched it on the child's red little face, when he just came back. The child didn't recognize him at all, and as soon as he took over, he cried, and now he finally recognized him as a father.

"What are you stewing? It smells so good! I'll take a look! Jiang Fu smiled, and walked to the back kitchen. His home in Jinyang is just a small courtyard, he and his wife occupy a room, and his father-in-law lives in a room. Then there's a miscellaneous house and a back kitchen.

"Uncle, don't go, you're a big man, how can you go into the kitchen?" The old man grabbed Jiang Fu's arm.

Jiang Fu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Dad, what big man can't go into the kitchen, I don't think you often go to help your mother?" ”

"I'm different from you, you're a big official!" There was a look of shame on the old man's face.

"Look at what you said, what kind of big official is not a big official, am I not your son-in-law, the man of the big girl? No matter how big an official is, this will not change, I'll take a look. Jiang Fu smiled and got rid of the old man's hand, pushed the door and walked to the back.

Looking at the curtain that was lowered, the expression on the old man's face was very pleased, to be honest, he was really a little worried, Jiang Fu became a big official, would he look down on his eldest girl, there were already a few old guys who worked together and told him about it half-jokingly and half-seriously. But now it seems that Jiang Fu is still the same Jiang Fu as before.

"I'm back!" The big girl in the kitchen glanced back at Jiang Fu who walked in, this is a rough woman, not pretty, just good-looking.

"Come back, the military department has a meeting today, when it comes to the issue of replenishing soldiers, our 20th Army has fought too badly, and a group of new recruits will be replenished in the near future, Commander Li promised me that after the recruits arrive, they will make up for me first." Jiang Fu sat at the door of the stove, put the child on his lap, and put one hand into the stove to stuff the firewood.

"I'd rather your men never be able to replenish the troops, so that you don't have to go to the battlefield, this time, but it scared me to death, and they all said that you must not be there." The eldest girl looked at him with some resentment.

Jiang Fu smiled, he knew that this time, the woman must have been frightened, when he returned to Jinyang, the woman he saw was in shape, she was thin and out of shape, and when she saw herself, she was not surprised, but fainted straight upright. After raising this period of time, I finally raised my previous body back, and my woman's body is indeed strong.

"It's our duty to be a soldier to eat food and fight, besides, in the Han world, if we don't come to defend as soldiers, who will defend? We have a good life, but we can't tolerate the Qin people to make trouble! Jiang Fu said with a smile. Don't worry, I'm blessed and can't die. ”

The eldest girl sighed and stopped making a sound, she is a traditional woman, accustomed to taking men as the sky, at most she just complains a few words.

"Today's stew is mutton soup, with medicinal herbs added to it, you have to drink more to get better quickly." After a moment of silence, the big girl said.

"It's been a long time since I made it up, and I still have to make it up!" Jiang Fu had a bitter face, "Big girl, during this time, I'm afraid that I will empty out my family, but I can't buy medicinal materials anymore, thieves are expensive and thieves are expensive." ”

"There is no shortage of money at home, we used to have small expenses, my father did odd jobs in the city, and my mother and I can also do some sewing and mending work, and your military salary is saved." Besides, aren't you promoted? In the future, the military salary will always be higher than now, right? The eldest girl looked at Jiang Fu at the door of the stove and said with a smile: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, you are the division commander, how much more is the military salary than before?" ”

Looking at the eldest girl, Jiang Fu's heart is full of happiness, this woman will always care about the man's body, the family's use, only what she represents as an official, it seems that there is nothing important in her heart.

"I used to be a battalion commander, and my monthly salary was twenty taels of silver, but now I am a division commander, it seems that it is one hundred taels a month, but I haven't received it yet and haven't asked, and now I have just finished the war, and it's a mess, and I can't take care of this for a while."

"How much?" The spatula in the eldest girl's hand froze in the air, staring at Jiang Fu.

"One hundred taels!" As soon as Jiang Fu said his words, he saw the spatula in the eldest girl's hand fall down with a bang and fell into the pot, splashing countless soups and water, so frightened that he quickly reached out and covered the face of the doll on his knees.

Oops screamed, the big girl jumped and jumped in the room, and a lot of soup splashed on her body, "Are you okay?" Jiang Fu stood up, walked up to the eldest girl, and took her shoulders to look at him carefully.

"It's okay, it's okay!" The eldest girl shook her head vigorously, and the smile on her face made Jiang Fu laugh out loud, and the eldest girl wanted to purse her mouth, but she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart no matter what.

"One hundred taels! That's 1,200 taels a year, and we're rich! She clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "In the future, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang don't have to wait until the New Year to wear new clothes, and I can also buy some good wine for my father!" ”

"Also, it's time for you to add a few new clothes and jewelry!" Jiang Fu said with a smile.

"I'll forget it! It's like this, it doesn't look good in new clothes, and how do you work with jewelry! The big girl shook her head again and again.

"You don't have to work in the future, I can support you."

"No, I don't do any work, that will suffocate people." The eldest girl shook her head and said: "I'm used to it, I can't be idle, but I can't do sewing and mending work in the future, you don't know, some old customers in the past, now don't give me the job, saying that they don't dare to work me, and make me angry." ”

Jiang Fu couldn't help laughing when he heard the big girl's complaints.

"Don't laugh, aren't the children in the family taken care of by their mother? I have to go out to do things, you can't be a big official, so you won't let me go out, didn't the county warden and your commander make an announcement two days ago, asking women to go out of the house to work? How can I be idle at home, and I heard that the county warden's wife has come out to work? ”

Speaking of this, the smile on Jiang Fu's face couldn't help but rise, in this big battle, Jinyang's losses were huge, especially for men, so that in the spring, there was a labor panic, in the city, in the countryside, there was a shortage of people, and the county guard had no choice but to call on women to come out and do what they could. In the past, this was unthinkable, but now in Dahan, it is not uncommon for women to come out to work.

"It's okay if you're happy! Just don't get tired. Jiang Fu nodded.

"I'm in good health, when I was in my hometown before, I could still plough the fields with oxen, and I could do a lot of work that the big men couldn't do!" The big girl said proudly.

"My eldest girl is naturally the most capable." Jiang Fu nodded again and again.

The big girl had a smile on her face, scooped a spoonful of soup, blew it for a while, and fed it to Jiang Fu's mouth, "Come and taste it, is it fresh?" ”

Drinking a spoonful of soup in his mouth, Jiang Fu felt that his heart was about to melt, this was not soup, it was full of happiness!

Alive, reunited, loved ones are there, that's the best. (To be continued.) )
