Chapter 88: Homecoming

[Happy Holidays, everyone! By the way, ask for a collection! 】

The soldiers of Datong are happy, because they have a commander who loves soldiers like a son, and a young marshal who can get enough food and salary.

The training of soldiers is very strict, very hard, and very tiring, but with enough money to support their families, they can eat a full meal, which is actually very content for the barren people of Shanxi, and for the soldiers. According to the regulations of the army made by Zhou Huchen, soldiers have four days of vacation every month, and this leave can be accumulated. For soldiers who are far away from home, this time may not be enough to go home to visit relatives, and there will be a long time between going home, but for soldiers who are closer to home, it is definitely a blessing.

Shanyin County is one hundred and eighty miles away from Datong, and outside the Yanmen Pass of the Great Wall is Liu Erjin's home.

Liu Erjin was a recruit, a recruit in the cavalry battalion under Zhou Yuji, the chief military officer of Shanxi. Now Liu Erjin is the pride of the family, because he can get a full salary of four taels and five cents of silver a month, he doesn't have to eat a grain of grain at home, and he doesn't have to wear a piece of clothing at home, not to mention, when Liu Erjin just joined Zhou Dashuai's team, he also brought ten taels of silver to the family.

In less than half a year, Liu Erjin, who used to be lean, has completely changed, and he is still very dark, but he has made a big circle of thickness, and he is as strong as a calf, which is naturally the result of sufficient diet and long-term large-scale exercise.

Liu Erjin is a group of borrowed military horses under his crotch, the so-called military horses are horses used in the baggage camp, and war horses are not the same concept at all, of course, war horses are never allowed to ride home. Liu Erjin's home is Xiahe Village, thirty miles away from Shanyin County, but this time when he goes home, the first thing Liu Erjin has to go to is Heming Town, which is ten miles away from the county seat, and he wants to visit his second brother Chu Huaijin's family on the way.

The reason why Liu Erjin's second brother Chu Huaijin is surnamed Chu is because Chu Huaijin is a stepson, a stepson who has been passed to the Heming Chu family.

The reason is very simple, Liu Erjin's family is very poor, there are many people in the family, and life is extremely difficult. When Chu Huaijin was five years old, it happened that Shanxi was a year of famine, and the Liu family, who was already struggling to live, almost fled the famine. It was also at this time that Chu Yumin, a cloth merchant of the Heming Chu family, came to Xiahe Village, Liu Erjin's father Liu Xing had worked as a companion in Chu Yumin's cloth village, and Chu Yumin came to Liu's house with a kind of hope.

Chu Yumin's business has always been doing well, but his forty-year-old has no children. The ancients paid attention to it, "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great." "If you don't have a son, you can't inherit the incense, which makes Chu Yumin always regret it. According to custom, Chu Yumin should inherit his own incense by a member of the Chu family, but unfortunately, Chu Yumin was too disappointed in his own people because of some things, and his disappointed heart was like ashes. Because of this, Chu Yumin would rather cut off his incense than have a son in the family.

Liu Erjin's father, Liu Xing, was a sincere person by nature, Chu Yumin knew this very well, and his purpose in coming to Xiahe Village was very simple, to help the Liu family survive this famine, and by the way, to strive for a son to be born here in Liu Xing.

The thing is very simple, Liu Xing's life is extremely difficult, and Liu Xing also knows very well what kind of family this former owner is. Life is like this, there will always be some helplessness of one kind or another, not to mention, this is not a bad thing. So, Chu Huaijin, who was supposed to be the second child of the Liu family, passed it on to Chu Yumin of Heming Town, and the third who was supposed to be Liu Sanjin became Liu Erjin.

Although the horse under the crotch was not a war horse, it was still very good because of proper feeding, and it ran very fast, and Liu Erjin arrived at Heming Town early in the afternoon.

Although Chu Huaijin passed on to the Chu family, due to the close distance between Heming Town and Xiahe Village, the two families had a lot of contacts, and when Chu Huaijin began to follow Chu Yumin to take care of business when he became an adult, the two families came and went more frequently. Chu Yumin is a reasonable person, and the two families have a very good relationship because of this, just like a family. Chu Huaijin often went back to Xiahe Village to visit his family, and Liu Xing also took his family to visit his son in Heming Town from time to time, which was also a kind of family visit. After all, blood is thicker than water, but it is not together, and the blood that flows comes from the same blood after all, and it can never be separated.

More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the reasonable Chu Yumin has become an ancient, but he has no regrets, because he once again sees the next generation who will inherit his incense, which can be regarded as blinding.

Liu Erjin's arrival made Chu Huaijin's family very excited, they had already learned the news of Liu Erjin's enlistment, and this time, Liu Erjin came back on a high-headed horse to confirm this. The parents are already old, the eldest brother is too honest and too wooden, he is an illiterate standard farmer, although he passed it to the Chu family, but Chu Huaijin actually has to worry about that family. Chu Huaijin has been thinking about getting married to Liu Erjin as soon as possible, and helping this brother let him start a family earlier, who knew that in the blink of an eye, this brother actually defected to Zhou Dashuai. Zhou Dashuai's reputation in Shanxi is now in full swing, although it is a bit dangerous to be a soldier and eat food, but this world of continuous disasters and famines, this is also a legitimate profession, and his brother can become Zhou Dashuai's cavalry is also hopeful.

Chu Huaijin's wife put down the two children to clean up the meal, the children played in the courtyard by themselves, and the two brothers sat in the yard and began to cook the house.

"I heard that Zhou Dashuai is good in the army, but you can't be wrong with your complexion. It's not small anyway, save more money in the second entry, so you can start a family quickly, let your sister-in-law think about finding a beautiful daughter-in-law for you, and then my brother will help you, and let my father and mother rest assured. ”

Liu Erjin showed a sincere smile: "Brother, I also have some money now, let's talk about it at the end of the year, the training in the army is too tight." ”

"It's okay, let your sister-in-law inquire about you in advance, and come back at the end of the year to try to settle it for you, and make your father and mother happy."

Liu Erjin was just about to respond, but a voice came from outside the door; "Is Brother Huaijin at home?"

Chu Huaijin frowned, and replied without even getting up: "Here, come in." ”

The person who came in was in his forties, with a sparse beard and very ordinary clothes, and as soon as he entered the door, Chu Huaijin ignored it and said: "Brother clan, please sit down, if there is anything to talk about another day, my brother who went down to the river has come to visit relatives." ”

The situation is a little abnormal, Chu Huaijin's attitude is very bad, and this clan brother doesn't seem to be very popular.

The person who came looked at Liu Erjin, and then said a little arrogantly: "It's okay, tomorrow is the same, just like that, I have to go out sooner or later, since there is someone at home, I won't sit down, say goodbye!" ”

"Let's go, don't send it."

Liu Erjin also knew the situation of his brother Chu Huaijin's family, in the era of Chu Yumin of the previous generation, the second brother Chu Huaijin's family had a gap with the people in the clan. This clan brother should be a member of the Chu family, and the two sides seem to have something to discuss, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing.

"Brother, is someone from the clan coming to trouble you?"

"Erjin, don't ask, it's hard for you to come over these things, besides, you can't take care of it, don't ask!"

This is the Chu family's business, and of course Liu Erjin has no right to participate. But now Liu Erjin is no longer the dirt bun who faces the loess all day long, he has learned a lot of things in Zhou Yuji's army, including literacy that he couldn't think of before, which made him start to double his confidence in himself.

Liu Erjin remembered that Zhou Shaoshuai, who they admired very much, said: Each of you is your own master, a person with individual thoughts, as long as you remember the responsibility to the country, the responsibility to this group, and the responsibility to your own family. Then, you are a member of this big family, your family is my Zhou Huchen's family, who dares to bully you, and your family is bullying me Zhou Huchen, and you all know the consequences of bullying me Zhou Huchen

Now Liu Erjin will not be afraid of the Chu family, the army and the entire Datong, and even the entire Shanxi people who don't know, Zhou Huchen will never let go of empty words, he Liu Erjin is one of the strongest cavalry under Zhou Dashuai, and the Chu family is in front of Zhou Shaoshuai - that is an ant.

Liu Erjin decided that he would no longer refuse to know the truth as before.

In the past, he refused to know these truths in order to protect his brother and himself, but now he Liu Erjin wants to provide his brother with as much help as possible: "Brother, you just talk about it, anyway, brother, I can't control the affairs of your Chu family, if you have any grievances, it can be regarded as relieving the grievances in your heart!" ”

Chu Huaijin was very helpless, he sighed.
