When I returned to Sanshui Village, the last rays of light disappeared into the western sky.

In the center of the threshing floor, there are four or five large clay pots, in which millet porridge is boiling hot, and it is almost time to start the meal. The crowd gathered in a bunch of east and west, squatting and sitting around the pottery kettle, and the noise was endless, and it was very lively.

"Ah Miao is back, just in time for dinner."

"My cousin is back."

"Governor Shaodu, you're back!"

Seeing Zhang Miao and his entourage coming back, the people on the threshing floor greeted each other with a smile. Most of these people are relatives of the clansmen who defected to Sanshui Village in the past two days, and most of them know Zhang Miao.

As for the dozens of captives, they were watched by a dozen villagers, cowering in a corner of the threshing floor, looking at this side with complicated eyes.

The number of relatives who had come to defect, and the captives who had been treated as male subordinates, had numbered more than a hundred, and all of them had eaten in the threshing floor.

And the people of Sanshui Village, because the houses have been repaired, naturally go back to their own homes.

Zhang Miao greeted these relatives with a smile, stopping from time to time to chat a few words, with a respectful and kind attitude. And these relatives all know that the current Zhang Miao is different from the past, and they have sent praise.

"Come and see your cousin." A woman pulled a dirty six or seven-year-old boy forward, "Ah Miao, his name is Lu Lin, he is your cousin, your uncle was killed by thieves two months ago, and now we are orphans and widows." ”

As she spoke, the woman burst into tears and wiped the corners of her eyes with the hem of her clothes.

"Don't be sad, mother, when I grow up, I will avenge my father!" Xiao Lulin wiped his mother's tears with his hand and shouted loudly.

Zhang Miao sighed, a smile appeared on her face, "Don't be sad cousin, Sanshui Village will be your home from now on, and I will be your relative." Cousin, you don't have to worry, tomorrow I will let him go to the village school, I will teach him in person, he will definitely have a good future. ”

The woman was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to her son, "Don't thank your cousin soon." ”

In the past two days, Zhang Miao's deeds have been widely circulated, and he wrote poems that shocked Xiangyang, and he was appointed as a professor of state studies by Liu Biao, a state pastor, and in the eyes of these people, he has become a great person! His son was able to follow Zhang Miao to study, how could the woman not be happy!

"Cousin Xie." The boy was very sensible and knelt on the ground to thank Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao stretched out his hand and pulled him up, turned to face the people present: "Relatives, don't worry, after you come to Sanshui Village, you will be from my Sanshui Village, as long as I Zhang Miao has a bite to eat, I won't be hungry." ”

"Thank you, Miao."

"To call the young patriarch, the young patriarch is benevolent!"

"Young Patriarch is benevolent!"

Everyone said one after another, and they were all settled. Although Zhang Yu also said similar things, Zhang Miao's promise made them feel more at ease, because Zhang Miao is a person who even Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao trusts!

When he returned home, he told his father Zhang Yu about his trip to Huyang, and Zhang Yu was very excited.

"Wandering." Zhang Yu muttered, although he was only the lowest-level rank-ranking official, it meant that he had also entered the ranks of officials, which Zhang Yu didn't even dare to think about before.

"It's just a wanderer, my father doesn't have to worry about it, maybe my father can become a county magistrate or even a state pastor in the future, but it is unknown." Zhang Miao said with a smile.

"I don't dare to think so much for my father, but Ah Miao, you can definitely do it." Zhang Yu said to his son hopefully. Everything that Sanshui Village can have now is brought by the once stubborn son in front of him, and he is full of hope for the current Zhang Miao and Zhang Yu.

"You're back just in time, let's have a drink and celebrate." Zhang Yu said to his son.

Zhang Miao shook her head: "Father, I still have to go to the military advisor, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you." ”

Zhang Yu was a little disappointed, but still said: "Also, these days the Japanese army division has worked hard and made great achievements, you have a good meal with him, and I will send some wine and meat." ”

Xu Shu has a special small courtyard in Sanshui Village, although the yard is not big, the house is also a mud house, but it is very chic, there is a fish tank in the middle of the yard, and there are green bamboo and plum in the corner. Moreover, Zhang Miao specially found two maids and a cook to wait for Xu Shu's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

When Zhang Miao arrived, Xu Shu was sitting behind the short table, and the maid had just served the meal, but it was a big bowl of steaming noodles.

Ever since he had eaten pasta in Sanshui Village, Xu Shu had fallen in love with it, almost facelessly, and felt more delicious than rice. The chef Aunt Cui, who is responsible for cooking for Xu Shu, has been trained by Zhang Miao, and she is very good at buns, dumplings, noodles, everything, and has also invented a lot of unique pasta making methods.

"Haha, it's better to come early than to come at a good time." As soon as Xu Shu picked up the chopsticks, Zhang Miao walked in with a smile.

"Brother Sanjiang is back, sit down!" Xu Shu was very pleased, and hurriedly beckoned Zhang Miao to sit down.

"Brother Yuan, because of the tight time, I didn't stay long in Huyang, I brought you some gifts casually, please don't be surprised." Zhang Miao put the things in his hand on the dwarf. These things were bought by Zhang Chuang and others in the city when he went to see Huyang Ling Cheng Qi. There is roast chicken, wine and food, and a set of satin material taxi clothes.

"Alas, Brother Sanjiang, you are too wasteful." Looking at the gift, Xu Shu sighed with emotion, and his mood was a little complicated.

This kind of silk scholar robe was not affordable for Xu Shu in the past. In the past few years in Xiangyang, I have relied on friends to help me and make some money as a ranger, eat rough food, and wear a linen robe to make up for it, and my life is very poor. Now, it's very different.

In these days in Sanshui Village, although the village is very poor, and many villagers can only eat thin food when they are not working, the supply to Xu Shu is very sufficient. The facilities in the house, the furnishings in the yard, are all carefully designed, and there is a maiden chef to wait.

It can be said that Xu Shu's living conditions are unique in Sanshui Village, and they are much stronger than the patriarch Zhang Yu's father and son. At least Changyu and his son did not have a special person to wait.

For Xu Shu, this kind of treatment is really high, and the quality of life is far beyond the past, which makes him very emotional and moved. He also proposed many times not to engage in specialization, and expressed his willingness to eat and live with the villagers, but Zhang Miao did not agree.

According to Zhang Miao's words, Brother Yuan, you are the military advisor I invited, and you are here to help us in Sanshui Village, so you naturally have to supply what you need as much as possible.

Xu Shu couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it, but many times he felt deeply uneasy, knowing that it was too long to give himself courtesy.

Therefore, Xu Shu took out all his strength to train the troops and help clear out the bandits!

And Zhang Miao naturally wants this effect. He treated Xu Shu very sincerely, hoping to win Xu Shu's heart and make him willing to stay in Sanshui Village.

When you can't take too much, if you want to win people's hearts and minds, you can only rely on friendship, which Zhang Miao learned from Liu Bei when he read history books.

In order to get the hearts of his subordinates, Liu Bei can throw his own son to the ground, Zhang Miao may not be able to do it to Liu Bei's extent, but he can still do it by pushing food and undressing.
