Hearing his family ask again why he came back early, Cui Er suddenly stood up, poured a glass of wine for his sister-in-law and said: "Sister-in-law, according to the original agreement, I had to work for three years before I could come back, but some time ago, my eldest brother made meritorious service in the army, so he used military merit to exchange me back, although the brothers do not thank each other, but I want to give the eldest brother a cup, this time sister-in-law you will drink it!" ”

Hearing that it was Cui Da who used military skills to exchange Cui Er back, Cui Mu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Cui's daughter-in-law was also very proud, picked up the wine glass and drank the glass of wine on behalf of her husband, and then immediately said: "It's good that the second brother can come back, your eldest brother can't help himself in the army, and naturally hopes that you can go home and take care of it, so I can't talk about anything to thank or not, but I don't know how your eldest brother is in the army?" ”

When Cui Da's daughter-in-law said the last sentence, her face also showed a look of worry, after all, Cui Da is different from Cui Er, Cui Er was just going out to work, and there is generally no danger, but Cui Da is going to fight hard, the last time His Royal Highness King Qi attacked Baekje, Cui Da was transferred to the battlefield, and there has been no news of him, and now I finally know that he is still alive, and he has made meritorious contributions, but this military merit is not so easy to stand, and I don't know if he was injured?

Seeing the worried look of the sister-in-law, Cui Er smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, this time I came back by boat from Dengzhou, and I passed through Sihyun on the way, where I met the eldest brother, it turned out that after they occupied Baekje last time, they were transferred to various parts of Baekje to suppress the rebellion, and the eldest brother made meritorious service at that time, but he was not injured, but then he was transferred to Sihyun, and now he is undergoing training, and I heard that he will not go to the battlefield again for the time being." And the eldest brother is now the captain, and he is in charge of a hundred people. It's majestic! ”

"Really!" Cui's daughter-in-law heard that her husband not only made meritorious contributions, but also was promoted. was immediately pleasantly surprised, and at the same time secretly said that he finally didn't marry the wrong person, although he has suffered a little now, but if Cui Da can really mix up an official body, then he can also be the wife of Shangguan.

When Cui's mother heard that her son had become an officer, she also prayed to the Buddha again and again, thanking the Buddha for his blessing. Although the three children still don't understand the meaning of being officials, this does not prevent them from being happy with adults.

After the family was happy for Cui Da to become an officer for a while, Cui's mother asked about Cui Er's experience in the past year. And Cui Er talked about his experience of going out, but he was also very excited, and even said that his luck was good, although it was a little bitter, but it was an eye-opener, if it wasn't for the mother and children at home, he really didn't want to come back. It's just that his last sentence of truth aroused the dissatisfaction of his mother's wife.

It turned out that after Cui Er was recruited, he immediately took a boat from the port he came from to sea, and then went all the way south. First I went to Dengzhou, where I worked as a coolie for a month, and then I took a boat south for a long time, and then I arrived at an island called Taiwan. However, it is said to be an island, but the area of this island is huge, and it is said that it is compared to the Silla country of the year. It's not much smaller.

After Cui Er was sent to Taiwan, he worked in a port city called Keelung. This time I was mainly helping to build the city, and I was tired at first. However, because Cui Er was able to understand Chinese when he first opened the store, and he could already speak some when he was in Dengzhou, he was quite appreciated by the foreman, and let him help manage other Silla workers, and later because the foreman thought that the food on the construction site was unpalatable, and it happened that Cui Er had opened a restaurant, and cooking was his forte, so he was sent to manage the food, and when he received the notice to come back, the foreman was very reluctant to him, and even offered to give him processing money, wanting him to voluntarily stay, but unfortunately Cui Er was a person who took care of his family, so he still refused the foreman's kindness, The boat ride is back.

Of course, what Cui Er said must be a little different from the above experience, such as when he first arrived in Dengzhou, he was tired and half dead, but he had to work at the urging of the foreman, otherwise he would have no food, and when he arrived in Taiwan, he had a serious illness because of the soil and water adaptation, and almost died there. Cui Er just mentioned these things in one stroke, and did not elaborate, after all, the things have passed, and it will make the old lady and wife sad to say it, so it is better not to say it.

You can skip the hardships you have suffered, but Cui Er talks a lot about all kinds of things you have seen along the way, such as the whaling ship you saw in Dengzhou, a giant whale several feet long can't escape the killing of this kind of boat, and there is also a train in Dengzhou, you don't need cattle and horses, you can run on the road by eating only a black stone.

In addition, Cui Er also told a lot of interesting stories he saw in Datang, such as the people there eat white flour rice every day, and even feed the dogs when they can't finish it, and the canned food they rarely eat is also a frequent guest at the dinner table, most of the people on the street are well-dressed, and some people run around on two-wheeled cars and so on.

Cui Er's observations made the whole family listen to them with relish, and several children were even fascinated by it, and even ate a few more bowls of rice, and when they went to bed at night, they didn't pester Cui Er to tell stories and refused to sleep.

After finally putting the three children to sleep, Cui Er discussed with his wife and sister-in-law about reopening the store, after all, he came back to live, and Jincheng not only restored the prosperity of the past, but even exceeded, so there must be guests after the store opened, as for the money to open the store, this is not a problem, Cui Er works with grain to pay for wages, but there is no money, but when he saw his eldest brother Cui Da in Si Xuan, the other party gave him all the food and salary he had saved, and there were more than ten times together, which was enough for them to open a store.

Cui Er's proposal to open a store was approved by the whole family, and he began to get busy the next day, but the surrounding neighbors also came to ask him about things, especially the families of the men who went with him, and they wanted to know the news of their men, and Cui Er helped them bring a letter back.

With the help of the neighbors, Cui Er spread the news of the reopening of the store by the way, and these neighbors were also very surprised when they heard that Cui Da had been promoted to an officer, and many people took the initiative to help, so Cui Er's small shop was quickly reopened.

When Cui Er's restaurant was back on track, business was more prosperous than before, and in the end, Cui Er simply took care of two twelve or thirteen-year-old boys to help greet customers together. Originally, he also wanted to recruit two older ones, but unfortunately the recruitment some time ago was too ruthless, most of the men over the age of fourteen were recruited, and those who stayed were also doing more sought-after jobs, he couldn't dig at all, and there were many of the remaining twelve or thirteen who worked in the factory, and he could find these two little guys, but it was because of his affinity with each other, and it was not easy to dig them out of the factory.

Early this morning, Cui Er's restaurant was already full of people, and the store had already prepared porridge and steamed buns, and the people who went out to work in the morning were lazy to get up early to cook, so they would go to his store to drink a bowl of porridge.

Cui Er sat behind the counter while settling the accounts, while listening to the conversation of the customers in the store, these people who got up in the morning to work were all locals, and they didn't care much when they spoke, for example, there were people not far from him: "King Qi moved all the rabbit cubs in Baekje to our Silla, this is obviously a good person with our territory, after all, compared with the poor places like Baekje, our land here is much more fertile." ”

Most of North Korea and Central Korea are the original Silla territory, and the people here are also the people of the original Silla, although they were divided into two states by Yi Cho, but the country name of Silla is still there, and the Silla queen Kim Seungman is still in power, so these Silla people usually only regard themselves as Silla people, and do not recognize North Korea, China and South Korea at all.

The voice of the person who spoke was a little louder, and the people at the surrounding tables also heard it, and one of the hot-tempered guys slapped the table and said, "What are the Baekje people, if they dare to come to our Silla, Lao Tzu will have to screw their heads off!" ”

As soon as this person's words came out, the people around him couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or bragging, anyway, they were all applauded, and some even called him a hero, and the person who spoke was also proud, as if he had really killed the Baekje people who had moved in.

However, at this time, some well-informed people spoke: "You don't know, although our place is much better than the poor place in Baekje, but the so-called homeland is difficult to leave, and the Han people have opened a lot of factories, the people in Baekje don't have to move to survive, I think all this is just someone from above who is making trouble!" ”

Although this person's words are not explicitly stated, everyone here knows that the so-called people at the top actually refer to the Qi Palace, and no one can move all the people of South Korea to their side, except for the Qi Palace, which actually ruled Silla and Baekje.

"Hehe, King Qi is the queen's husband, for the queen's sake, there are some things that we can't say clearly, but some things have to be said, Baekje's rabbit cubs and our Silla have been tricked, I think they don't want to govern our place well at all, but keep us in captivity like cattle and horses, men go out to work for them, women have to work in the factories they run, even children are no exception, this generation is passed down, what is the difference with those slaves?" A person with ulterior motives opened his mouth to speak, and after speaking, he sneered at the people around him a few times, which made the listeners even more cold.

"This brother said well, our Jincheng is much more prosperous than Si Yu, but the King of Qi is resident in Si Yu, and after it is divided into three states, South Korea is obviously different from us here, the army and the best officials are mostly there, and I also heard that the assassin history of South Korea is the most valued person by the king of Qi, on the other hand, we here, although the two states have also sent a lot of officials, but the history of the assassin has not yet been decided, and the army is very small, and now the South Korean people are moved here, and only the Han people are allowed to enter the South Korean state, This is obviously treating us here as a dispensable place. Another Jincheng citizen spoke, and everyone who heard it applauded one after another, as a way to express their approval.

However, just when the discussion in Cui Er's store was lively, suddenly there was a sound of neat footsteps on the street outside the store, and experienced people knew that only the army of Datang would make such a neat footsteps. And the pedestrians on the street also hid on both sides, and a long passage was vacated in the middle of the road, and a luxurious carriage slowly drove into Jincheng under the guard of a Tang army.
