The blacksmith lady took Lin An'an and Hua Rui to a room in the backyard, invited the two to sit down, poured tea and brought it up, and then said: "The girl came to the door again, she should have decided to put a set of silver needles with us again, right?" ”

Lin Anan was not ambiguous, and took out the money bag that he snatched from his master, "I don't know how many materials are needed, can you see if these are enough?" ”

The blacksmith lady took a rough look, "A set of silver needles, divided into small sets of carry-on needles, generally of different lengths, a total of eighteen silver needles, if the full set is complete, it is one hundred and eight, here fifty taels, enough." ”

The blacksmith lady thought for a moment and said, "If the girl wants to carry a small set with her, it is better to make a set of gold needles, fifty taels is enough to make a small set of eighteen gold needles." ”

"Can you still get a gold needle?" Hua Rui was surprised, "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?" ”

It is not a secret that some iron shops quietly do some silverware business, but if gold is involved, I am afraid that it will cause trouble, and if it is found by the government, it will be imprisoned for several years.

The blacksmith lady gritted her teeth and said: "Don't hide it from the girl, there is news from the family, my man is going to be a soldier after finishing this business, I am afraid that he will go to be a soldier, this time, life and death are unpredictable, if you can take risks to make a profit, it can be regarded as leaving me and my son some needs to live in the future, even if the government checks the door, what can I do, my man has been recruited by the state to be a soldier, is it still from the barracks to be caught in prison?" ”

The blacksmith lady suddenly laughed, "Actually, I would prefer that the government will arrest my man in prison, at least wait a few years, the man can come out alive, this time to the barracks, on the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable, wait for a few years, who knows if it is a big living person, or ......" The blacksmith lady choked up, trying to hold back the tears rolling in her eyes, and her voice was hoarse: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said so much, delaying your time." ”

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a little boy with a small head rushed in and shouted, "I'll go, I'll go for Daddy!" ”

The blacksmith lady hurriedly drove the child out, "What nonsense, how old are you, hurry up and get out, don't disturb my mother doing business!" ”

"I'm not afraid, let me go to the battlefield, I want to be a general!"

"Smack!" There was a crisp sound.

The little boy covered his face in disbelief and looked up at the blacksmith lady with tears on her face.

The blacksmith lady withdrew her numb hand, wiped away her tears, and her voice was angry, "Put away your thoughts, you think I don't know, you don't want to study, you want to learn martial arts, you want to go to the battlefield!" However, is the battlefield so good, is the general so good, and how many people die on the battlefield every year, do you know? Go back, go back to your room immediately! You're going to school next year, and if you're famous, you don't need to go to the battlefield again, and you don't have to worry about being afraid! ”

The little boy wanted to say something more, but seeing that his mother was crying sadly, he finally lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Mother, I was wrong, don't cry." With that, he trotted out and went back to his room.

The blacksmith wiped away her tears, turned around, and smiled reluctantly, "I'm sorry for letting you see the joke." ”

"Is there going to be a war?" Lin Anan frowned and asked.

The blacksmith lady smiled bitterly, "The battle array outside the border pass has never stopped, and the people on the grassland want to rush into the border pass and rob us of our grain in winter, when the cattle and sheep are frozen to death." ”
