"Mother, I want to go back to my parents' house!"

"What?" Yang's voice suddenly rose, and Pipi's thin and small shoulders shook in fright, and shrank into Shen Yulan's arms.

Yang's black index finger almost pointed to Shen Yulan's nose: "What are you doing back to your parents' house?" Don't you have to do so much work at home? Did our old Wang family abuse you? ”

"Mother, I didn't mean that, it's not like I haven't been to see my father and mother for a long time!" Sister-in-law, three brothers and sisters, four brothers and sisters, which one is not diligent when he goes back to his parents' house?

She was the only one who went back to her parents' house this year, and she was picked by the Yang family for several days.

Yang still frowned coldly and did not let go.

Shen Yulan was very angry in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said in a lonely tone: "Mother, I got rich and went to be a soldier, I know that our family is not easy, I finish the work that should be done, and I will come back soon after a trip." ”

Wang Facai's father, Wang Shurong, heard Shen Yulan mention his second son, and there was a moment of embarrassment on his face, and he thought that Wang Facai was conscripted for the sake of his other sons, and he felt a little guilty about Shen Yulan.

Then he spoke: "Okay, the second family is going back to his parents' house, and now the field is not busy, and if I don't let me go back, I think our Wang family is harsh on our daughter-in-law." ”

Yang snorted lukewarmly, and agreed.

After the meal, Shen Yulan helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, put the earned silver in her pocket, and went out with Pipi.

On Chu Yan's side, the family of three plans to go up the mountain together this afternoon, and take advantage of the autumn harvest to have more yams.

When she was about to go out, Shen Yulan came: "Sister, are you going up the mountain?" ”

Seeing Chu Yan and the three of them carrying the basket on their backs, Shen Yulan asked.

"Yes, Sister Lan, you want to go out too?"

"That's right, I'll go back to my parents' house, I want to get back the money I had stored with you before, and I haven't been back to my parents' house for several months." Speaking of going back to her parents' house, Shen Yulan had a relaxed smile on her face, which was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you!"

After a while, Chu Yan came out of the room and took some yam to Shen Yulan by the way: "Also give my uncle and aunt a taste of yam, eat something that is very good for the body!" ”

All the yams that Shen Yulan dug were sold yesterday, and these were all Chu Yan's them.

She was suddenly moved and didn't know what to say, so she thanked her.

Seeing Shen Yulan away, Chu Yan said to the second elder: "Dad, mother, let's go!" ”

Together, the three of them carried their backpacks and walked through the potholed paths of the village to the mountains.

I met people in the village on the way, I don't know if I said it in front of so many people yesterday, the Wang family wants to do some business, or Wang Laoshi completely walked out of the shadow of Wang Dazhuang as a soldier, and was bent on earning more money and bringing it to his son.

Wang Laoshi and Tian's entire spiritual head has changed, and they are no longer lifeless.

When he met the villagers on the road, Wang Laoshi greeted him with a smile: "Go down to the ground?" Are you done with the work in the fields? ”

"Soon, weeding in the past few days, it's almost over, what are you doing here?"

"Go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits, or we have little land and nothing to eat in winter."

"Isn't it, we have to hurry up the mountain after we are busy and store some mountain goods."

This kind of life is the daily life of the villagers, except for the sunrise and sunset, as long as they are not particularly lazy, they will not be idle.

The big guys will make full use of the leisure time on the farm, and the strong laborers will go out to work for a short time, and the women, children, and the old people will go up the mountain to find something to eat.

So as the work in the fields was almost busy, there were more and more people on the mountain.

In order to avoid being discovered as much as possible, Wang Laoshi took the two of them to find remote places.

"Dad, are you so familiar with the mountains?" Chu Yan admired it very much, where there is anything to eat, what wild fruit trees there are, Wang Laoshi knows it well.

Tian hammered his sore waist: "No, your father was very capable when he was young, and he can always find good things that others can't find." ”

When he said this, Tian had a happy smile on his face.

Wang Laoshi also smiled and helped Tian: "I said to let you rest, you want to go up the mountain." The tone was full of pampering.

"It's okay, I'm not tired, I have to work hard to be energetic." Before, my son was at home, and I didn't let them do the work that was too tiring, but now they are left with an old couple and a daughter-in-law, what if they don't do it?

The two of them just want to be in good health, earn more money, and wait for their son to come home.

Wang Laoshi couldn't resist Tian's, so he could only half-support him, trying not to climb too much up the mountain.

Told Chu Yan the story of the past: "When I was young, I went to this Jinshan as soon as I was free, when your mother was pregnant and strong, she was greedy, and her life was not good, so I came to the mountain to look for wild eggs and wild fruits, and when I was lucky, I could meet pheasants and rabbits." ”

"No, although your father doesn't have any other brothers, he's the only one, but ah, I live with him, and my heart is down-to-earth!"

Chu Yan was a little envious, the longer she passed, the more she envied the love between Wang Laoshi and Tian.

Hundreds of miles away, in a ravine, simple tents were erected.

The rich smell of blood came from the scene.

A mile outside the tent, sentries patrolled back and forth.

With the exception of the sentry, the rest of the soldiers collapsed on the ground exhausted, panting.

A man who looks like a doctor, carrying a medicine box back and forth between the wounded soldiers.

They had just experienced a war, and although they had won, they had also suffered heavy losses, especially those who were seriously wounded.

In an inconspicuous corner, a soldier in his twenties, his face covered in dirt and blood, his back against a tree, his eyes sad.

Next to him, another soldier was a little thinner, his arm bandaged with white cloth oozing blood.

He grinned in pain, and didn't forget to say to the soldier next to him: "Thanks to you, Da Zhuang, otherwise my little life would have been lost on the battlefield." ”

The other party sighed and turned his head to look at him: "Be careful in the future, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and there are still old and young at home." ”

These two soldiers were none other than Wang Dazhuang and Wang Facai, who were officially conscripted.

This temporary conscription by the imperial court was indeed because the situation at the border was severe.

These recruits were pulled onto the battlefield without having time to train at all, and it is conceivable that a draw with the enemy army was piled up with a sentence of corpses.

"I don't know what's going on at home?" Wang Facai thought of his wife and children at home, and his eyes moistened.

After this war, many people in the village who came together did not come back, and it is not known if they will be able to see their relatives.

An atmosphere of grief permeated this barracks, and if it wasn't for being forced to be helpless, who wanted to fight on the battlefield?

The peace of Jinshan Village is the result of the bones of the front line, and it is the relatives who fought desperately with their flesh and blood.

In the era of closed news, Chu Yan and the three of them didn't know what happened to Wang Dazhuang.

In contrast to the tension at the front, they found a pheasant.
