After the beginning of spring,

Li Fugui, who packed his bags, said goodbye to the woman and a pair of children again, and embarked on the road of serving in Linxian County.

In the past, I worked hard for a whole year, and there was more than a month of dispatch, and the harvest was distributed and the benefits of other collective labor. In addition to the routine reservation of seeds, farm tools, manpower to compost and borrowing livestock materials, etc., should be unavoidable expenses.

Steamed cakes to make soup, cut meat and pick vegetables, had a fairly abundant New Year's Festival, and took the whole family to eat several meals of soup (boiled dumplings) with meat filling, and then sold some miscellaneous harvests in the supply and marketing cooperatives after the year. After such a little conversion, in addition to the basic daily rations, there is still a balance of 100 children.

For this kind of ordinary banker, it can be regarded as a small amount of money.

So not long after the end of the year, this small fortune was converted into a small silver treasure and a few coppers, and then the woman quietly put it into the man's package that was about to go out.

After now, he was forcefully put back in front of him, and was secretly stuffed into his bag, and after several disputes and concessions, Li Fugui still compromised with the woman's tears.

In the repeated advice of "you should spend what you should spend, don't treat yourself badly", this silver treasure representing most of the rest of the family was hidden closely, leaving only a few daily spare coppers.

It's just that he has been busy all winter, and his mother-in-law's lower abdomen is still flat, which makes his woman feel a little regretful and lost.

Li Fugui, who was wearing a wide-brimmed leather hat and a long stick in his hand, was carrying a change of clothes and food baggage on the road behind him, and slowly walked on the ridge in the still cold spring breeze.

From time to time, I would say hello to those farmers who were working in the fields, or make a vulgar joke or two about the Riba people.

Then inadvertently and suddenly looked back, the figure of the woman and child had completely disappeared, and the open carriage waiting in front of the village was already full of more than a dozen people.

So, he put a commemorative emblem representing the frontier service in the middle of the hat, which is a certain proof and identification of identity. was barely squeezed into the most obvious position of the bump in the rear of the car, Li Fugui only then appeared, and the car was full of men wearing wide-brimmed leather hats.

Since Huaidong had a large source of cheap fur, this kind of hat made of leather strips made of leather scraps has become a local fashion.

The light and wide edge can be shaded and sunscreened in the hot summer, and also doubles as a fan; In winter, as long as you put warm felt on it, fold the wide edge to cover the back of the head and ears, and you can continue to use it in the cold.

And almost everyone who participates in military service training will be ready to wear such a style. It looks more consistent with those full-brimmed soldiers who wear wide-brimmed hats and round-brimmed helmets. Because of the different sources of materials, it can be said that each hand-woven leather hat is different in details, so it has become a unique status symbol.

Because he had participated in the battle to support the front line and had killed the enemy with blood on his hands, he was also recruited into the full-time training list organized by the Linxian Garrison Regiment soon after the beginning of spring. As a member of the vast number of reserve forces, during this period, Li Fugui could temporarily be exempted from the daily spring ploughing labor in the village, and receive a share of the money and food during the training and service period.

Two days later, in the camp of the Linxian garrison regiment, a lame veteran who was missing one ear, who served as the regiment's deputy and head of the regiment, began to teach them to use the most basic firearms, dozens of three-eyed guns of uniform style.

This is also Li Fugui's first contact with this kind of weapon, so he can't help but be a little excited and eager to try, and he almost missed the words of the sect leader, so he scolded several times for this.

Because, in the impression of most people in Huaidong, only those who can use firearms can be regarded as real soldiers.

Of course, they did not have the opportunity to directly test fire, but followed the steps demonstrated, using an exclusive roll spoon and the fine sand of the power as gunpowder, and repeatedly practiced the simulation process of quickly weighing the medicine, loading the ammunition, sealing the chamber, inserting the fire door, and then knocking on the shot.

Many people are unfamiliar and unaccustomed to using this kind of thing, and they are often punished for making mistakes and mistakes during practice.

And this weapon, which looked very crude, was as skillful in the hands of the veteran-turned-sect leader as if it were a living part of his body.
