Time passed little by little, and it was October in a blink of an eye. The weather in October was already very cold, and the academy had suspended classes, so Zhang Shumo stayed at home all day to study. Through the experience of this half year, Zhang Shumo understood the importance of knowledge, if it wasn't for the fact that he was forced to learn a lot of knowledge by his father before, I am afraid that he would not be able to cope with what happened in this half a year.

Lou Zaiying is still worried about how to let Zhang Shumo take the initiative to go to bed, sometimes Lou Zaiying really wants to pull him up directly, but her reserve as a woman makes her unable to start.

On this day, Lou Zaiying came back from the barracks and lit a stove to cook for Zhang Shumo and Lou Guang. After Mrs. Qing passed away, the cooking matter fell on Lou Zaiying's head. Because Lou Zaiying has been dancing with knives and sticks since she was a child, she is not good at cooking, Zhang Shumo and Lou Guang have been tortured during this time.

Looking at the blackened pancakes, Lou Zaiying smiled awkwardly: "I originally wanted to make you a few oil buns, but the fire was too big and it was a little baked." ”

The corners of Zhang Shumo's mouth trembled slightly: "No~ It's nothing, I still love to eat baked cakes, which are charred on the outside and tender on the inside." ”

Lou Guang glanced at Zhang Shumo: "Then since this is the case, my brother-in-law will eat all these fried buns!" After speaking, Lou Guang looked at Lou Zaiying again: "Sister, I'm growing up, I can't eat all day, and I don't have the strength to practice martial arts these days." Can't you just practice your cooking skills? ”

Lou Zaiying put the chopsticks on the table heavily: "Okay, you Lou Guang, it's good to eat some, you have the ability to do it yourself!" ”

Zhang Shumo hurriedly said: "Lou Guang, this is your mistake. Your sister is tired from the barracks every day, and when she comes back, she has to do laundry and cook for us, how can you say that about your sister? After speaking, Zhang Shumo looked at Lou Zaiying: "Lady, why don't we find a maid who can cook?" You're so tired every day, I'm worried that your body won't be able to bear it. ”

Lou Guang nodded desperately when he heard this: "This is good, this is good!" ”

Lou Zaiying looked at the expectant eyes of the two and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, this way I don't have to worry." ”

The next day, Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying came to the street. As the weather turned colder, many refugees who had not saved enough food for the winter flocked to the city to ask for food. Some began to sell their sons and daughters, and Zhang Shumo and the others just wanted to buy a girl of the same age.

The two walked towards the place where the refugees had gathered. Along the way, children put grass on their heads and sold them as commodities, and some elderly people had no children, so they could only kneel on the ground and kowtow and beg for someone to give them food.

Zhang Shumo saw this kind of scene for the first time, and he didn't feel good in his heart: although Huaiguo is not strong, it is also rich, but he didn't expect that there are still so many people who can't eat. I don't know what the parents of the so-called people are doing!

Just thinking about it, Lou Zaiying suddenly stopped, it turned out that she had found a girl of acceptable age.

"How old are you?" Lou Zaiying asked while a large number of girls.

The girl's parents hurriedly said, "Fourteen, miss, sell it if you give money!" ”

Zhang Shumo's girl is not tall, skinny, with her hair scattered and frostbite on her face, she can't help frowning: "She is fourteen like this?" I looked like a 10-year-old. ”

The girl's mother hurriedly said: "This young master, we don't tell you, my Xiaoni is really fourteen, but she can't eat enough with us all day long, and she is hungry and thin, but she has already come to dehydrate." ”

The two blushed when they heard this, and Lou Zaiying said to Zhang Shumo: "If you are too small, let's go inside." ”

The girl's father hurriedly stopped the two: "Two well-wishers, you can buy my daughter." There is no older Xiao Ni in it, a slightly older Xiao Ni would have been bought, if it weren't for my small size and ugliness, she would definitely have been bought. ”

At this time, the girl also quickly knelt down for the two: "Please buy me, my brother is sick, and the doctor said that if you don't take medicine, you will die." After saying that, he began to kowtow.

The family's actions made the two of them feel compassion, and Zhang Shumo sighed: "Don't look at it, just her." ”

When she got home, Lou Zaiying took out her clothes and picked up the girl, and the girl who had been cleaned up was not as ugly as she imagined, but still a little smart.

The girl didn't have a name, and Zhang Shumo named her Qiuqiu. Qiu Qiu thanked the two of them for their kindness, and began to clean up the housework without the two of them explaining.

With the arrival of autumn, Lou Guang is the happiest. The two are the same age, and Lou Guang is equivalent to having one more playmate. What's more important is that Qiu Qiu obeyed the Lou family, which made Lou Guang finally feel like a young master.

Originally, Zhang Shumo thought that life would go on so plainly, but on this day, Lou Zaiying returned home with a sad face.

Zhang Shumo soon noticed Lou Zaiying's abnormality, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you so sad? ”

Lou Zaiying sighed and took out an official document: "I was transferred to the Northwest Army, and the official document said that I should go to the Zhenxi General's Mansion to report before October 20. ”

Zhang Shumo took the official document, which was stamped with the big seal of the Zhenxi General's Mansion, and he couldn't be wrong. It's just that for no reason, how could Lou Zaiying be transferred to the Northwest Army? Even if Lou Zaiying made a great contribution to suppressing the bandit last time, it wouldn't reach the ears of the Northwest Army? Could it be my father's handiwork? But what was the purpose of his transfer of Lou Zaiying to the Northwest Army?

Although he thought so, Zhang Shumo smiled at Lou Zaiying: "This is a good thing, it shows that you have been recognized by the Northwest Army!" Didn't you always want to go into battle to kill the enemy and avenge your father-in-law? ”

Lou Zaiying couldn't be happy: "Even though this is the case, the thought of leaving home alone is always empty, and I am always a little reluctant." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo suddenly took Lou Zaiying's hand: "If you are reluctant, how about I accompany you?" ”

Lou Zaiying's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly: "You said it yourself, I didn't let you suffer with me." ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "How can it be bitter to follow the lady, it's too late for me to be happy!" ”

The two looked at each other, Lou Zaiying was suddenly a little nervous, she let down her guard and waited for Zhang Shumo to take the initiative.

At this time, Qiu Qiu suddenly shouted outside the house: "Miss, Childe, the guy from the restaurant opposite is here, saying that Boss Lu asked Childe to come over and talk about it." ”

Lou Zaiying sighed: "This Boss Lu, I really won't find the time!" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "I think he has calculated the time, I'll go back as soon as I go." After speaking, Zhang Shumo walked out.

When he came to the restaurant opposite, Hu Kun directly led Zhang Shumo to the private room on the second floor, and when he saw Lu Lizhang Shumo, he asked directly: "Say, is it related to Zaiying's matter to come to me?"
