Chapter 327: Ziwu Returns
Lu Caiqing stopped hearing this, stood up and shouted at Bai Xiaoran: "Are you so hurtful?" Where are my hands so sharp that they still scratch people? I'll scratch it for you? ”
After speaking, he raised his hand and ran towards Bai Xiaoran, Bai Xiaoran saw that his sister was in a good mood, so he cooperated with him to run around the house, and the three of them had a lot of fun.
After sending Bai Xiaoran and Yun Ge away, Lu Caiqing stayed in the city for a few more days, teaching reliable people the business of Manjinglou and Mala City and the branches, and then returned to Chenjia Village.
After coming back, she was "taught" by several old people before it was over, but they still felt sorry for Cai Qing, afraid of scaring her away again, so they no longer forced her to drink this and that tonic soup.
After resting for a little half a month, it is the autumn harvest season again, but this is also in order, sweet potatoes are the first to be harvested first, Lu Caiqing went to Li Village, helped them harvest, and found someone to negotiate the acquisition, Li Village's sweet potatoes were harvested, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.
The harvest in Li Village was gratifying, and Chenjia Village couldn't hide the joy on their faces, because they all listened to Cai Qing's suggestion and changed the dry land into paddy fields, and the rice planted was a high-yield rice plant.
Looking at the large wheat fields in front of him with green waves in the breeze, the dense ears of wheat carrying their high heads, bent by the breeze, and unable to stand up with the strength of milk, Lu Caiqing wanted to laugh.
The heavy ears of wheat, as if they were going to kiss the earth, were blown by the wind, forming waves of wheat, which made people feel refreshed and happy.
The family held the sickle, rolled up their sleeves with a big sword, and after a while, they were put down in a piece.
The rice in Lu Caiqing's house was cut with the help of the villagers after a while.
Everyone knows that the four men of the Song family go out, fight wars, and the youngest is also the key protection object of the village.
He is a backup member of the senior official, and the only person in the village who eats public food.
In the future, he will have to make great achievements, how can he be allowed to work? Within an hour, his family's five acres of rice were cleaned up cleanly.
The villagers of Chenjia Village have received a lot of benefits this year, but fortunately, they listened to Caiqing's suggestion and turned the dry fields into paddy fields, and sold the silver, not to mention the rice, which can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
The rice grown at home is bundled, dried, hulled, and impurities removed, and then you get the rice you need, and the rice bran can also be fed to chickens, ducks and livestock! It's a rare good feed.
This year, when it comes to the Chinese New Year, every family can eat white rice, kill pigs and eat meat.
Everyone will not forget the credit of Lu Caiqing, after the harvest of the Qing family, began to sell peaches in the orchard, with last year's experience, this year according to last year's sales routine, or the first batch of ripe peaches to the villagers to try, and then in the packaging proofing fruit basket.
Last year, a wealthy family who knew that peaches were produced here knew that she was starting to sell, so they couldn't wait to come and buy them, and they were sold out in six or seven days.
The people in his own family kept a lot of them, and they couldn't finish eating, and they also asked someone to send these peaches to the Bai family and the Lin family in the capital.
Another month passed, Bai Xiaoran took Yun Ge back to Chenjia Village, Yun Ge liked the house at home, he liked it very much, he had to live for a while, Bai Xiaoran was naturally reluctant to part with him, so he stayed with him.
Lu Caiqing saw that they didn't mention Song Ziyu's news, and he was embarrassed to speak, anyway, it was the end of the year, and the time of the year was up, since they didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.
But he didn't welcome Song Ziyu, but unexpectedly welcomed another important family member at home, he was Song Ziwu, who returned from being a soldier after two years away from home!
The family's old house was renovated, but everyone moved into the building in Taoyuan, and the rest was that Li Qingyuan and his wife went there every day to put ducks and feed the chickens.
Lu Caiqing was afraid that the second child would go home, and he didn't know where they went, so he left Sun Jiacheng to live at home.
He has no house or land alone, since he rescued Lu Caiqing last time, Lu Caiqing is very grateful to him, after they moved out, he was afraid that a good yard would be abandoned, so he left him there to watch the house and live for free.
Song Ziwu walked into the hall, his eyes were rolling around, and he still shouted in that loud voice: "Sister-in-law! Third brother! Fourth brother! I'm back! What about you? ”
The first to come out was the village chief Chen Youwang, because he lived on the first floor, and Yang Yibao didn't come out because he and Heizi went out fishing.
When Chen Youwang came out of his room, he saw Song Ziwu standing at the door, and hurriedly shouted at the top: "Pick the green and pick the green!" Come out! See who's back? ”
Lu Caiqing was sitting in the room and chatting with Aunt Xia and them on the small kang about the family's shortcomings, and when she heard a shout before, she didn't hear it clearly, and then the village chief shouted all his life to successfully attract their attention.
Song Ziwu saw the village chief and asked suspiciously, "Uncle the village chief?" Why do you live in my house too? ”
Chen Youwang was a little ashamed, but still replied: "Cai Qing didn't care about the past suspicions, thinking that we were old and there was no one around, so we moved here to take care of everyone!" ”
"Ziwu! Is it Ziwu? Aunt Xia's eyes were good, and she saw Ziwu standing at the door, tanned and strong.
She hurriedly went downstairs, everyone supported each other, came to the door, Ziwu and Aunt Xia have been together for a long time, and they have long regarded her as their own mother, as soon as they saw their relatives, he was a three-foot man with tears in his eyes, and he hugged her and shouted: "Mother!" Ziwu misses you! ”
Aunt Xia also patted his back with teary eyes, and said tremblingly: "Okay! Our family's most promising Ziwu is back! ”
Lu Caiqing persuaded beside him: "Mother! Don't be sad! Isn't Ziwu back? Rejoice! Don't cry, go into the hall and talk! ”
Song Ziwu raised his eyes and looked at the sister-in-law in front of him, who had not seen him for two years, as if she had grown taller and more beautiful, and she spoke and acted more like a patriarch: "Sister-in-law!" You've worked hard all these years! ”
"What's polite as a family, it's not hard!"
She looked up behind her, and there was a young woman in a white cloak standing in the doorway, followed by four or five soldiers, only to see her eyes looking at them without blinking, although she did not speak, but there was an aura in her big eyes.
Lu Caiqing opened his mouth at this time: "Ziwu! ...... behind you? ”
Song Ziwu quickly wiped his eyes, and then after returning to normal, he turned around and pulled her, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law! She is the only daughter of our General Wei, her name is Wei Xuefu! ”
As soon as Wei Xuefu saw someone talking, she suddenly revealed her true nature and said: "But I was suffocated, and I was not allowed to speak when I entered the door!" You are the sister-in-law of Brother Ziwu! I'm Wei Xuefu, and I'm also his daughter-in-law who hasn't been to the door? ”
Lu Caiqing and Aunt Xia were stunned when they heard this, but they still woke up immediately, invited them into the hall, and everyone gathered together to sit down and talk, and Song Ziwu told everyone about what happened before and after he became a soldier.
It turned out that after Song Ziwu left as a soldier, he went directly to the battlefield without any military training.
At that time, the state of Java suddenly offended the Great Wei border, and Ziwu's army drove directly there.
The army had been gone for three months, and before it could directly start a war with the enemy country, it was attacked by a sneak attack.
At this time, Song Ziwu was already a well-known clerk, and if anyone wrote a letter to his family, even their chief would ask him to write it for him.
Song Ziwu thought about the brothers in Chenjia Village who came out with him, and wanted to protect them, but the battlefield sneak attack was really cruel, some people in the family were from farming, and they were so frightened that they were in a hurry, Ziwu didn't care about himself, but he still kept most of his brothers.
The chief saw that he was brave in killing the enemy, and that it was a bit overkill to be a clerk, so he transferred to his side as a deputy.
In the long run, Song Ziwu also had his own cronies, he kept Chenjiacun's brother by his side, and on a battlefield, during the melee, the chief was unconscious and was killed by an arrow, so he took his place and became a small foreign general, equivalent to a petty official of Jiupin.
When he arrived at the real battlefield, Song Ziwu killed the enemy bravely, and was unexpectedly discovered by General Wei, and was promoted to be a nomadic lieutenant, specializing in surprise and sneak attacks, with remarkable results.
In two years, Song Ziwu has gone from a petty official of the ninth grade to the current general manager of the sixth grade.
Although Lu Caiqing didn't know what this battalion Qianzong did specifically, he knew that the officials of the six grades were not small.
At least it is higher than the official of the county lord that Ma Feiyi was.
But this grade is not easy to come by, and it has been obtained many times in exchange for life from birth to death.
But it was good to come back, and before he could finish speaking, he heard the people outside the house flocking to him, because when they saw Ziwu coming back, they wanted to know whether their children were dead or alive.
Seeing this, Song Ziwu said to the people of Chenjia Village: "Folks! Hold your horses! I came back this time, with your children's letters, but only about twenty of the forty brothers who set out with me remained, but I can guarantee that they will be in my barracks in the future, and try to keep them away from the front line and reduce the chance of confrontation with the enemy. ”
Chen Youwang also helped to explain, people Ziwu has no obligation to protect your children, it is after the people are promoted, the friendship of the brothers in Chenjia Village, and the people take care of them.
The villagers also knew this reason, and they didn't embarrass Song Ziwu, but they just wanted to know the recent situation of their children.
Song Ziwu ordered that the family letters of the living brothers be presented, and those who did not have family letters waited for the government to issue pensions, and the living family members were happy, but there were also parents of sacrificed children who cried and wiped their tears.
Lu Caiqing then remembered the sentence "Don't laugh when you are drunk and lying on the battlefield, a few people have come back to fight in ancient times!" ”
After sending the villagers away, Lu Caiqing came back to his senses, looked at Wei Xuefu with big eyes, and asked, "Ziwu!" She just seems to say that it was your daughter-in-law? Didn't you go to the battlefield? Why did you marry a daughter-in-law for our family? ”
Song Ziwu scratched his head a little embarrassed when he heard his sister-in-law ask this question, not at all like a warrior on the battlefield.
