Just when Haijiao was immersed in practicing his riding and archery skills, General Wednesday and General Gu both heard about his "merits" in the Jiangyang thief arrest case.

Although Haijiao does not mean to be public, the shopkeeper of the Liujia car shop is a real person. Because of his meritorious service, he won the double reward of the government and the guard, and in a few days he will add another reward from the Jiangnan local government, and he is beaming every day, and he is more kind and generous to his subordinates. For the reef that had reminded him, he naturally would not forget, and said in front of people three times that it was really thanks to the little brother of the Hai family who told him that those people were suspicious, otherwise he would not have been able to take advantage of this big advantage.

When many people heard his words, the news naturally reached the ears of the generals of the guard.

As soon as General and General Gu inquired about the guards guarding the city gate, they knew that the reef did have a credit. If there was no reef reminder, although the guards at the gate of the city reported the suspiciousness of those fugitives, they would not have discovered their true identities so quickly, and the shopkeeper of the Liu family would not have been vigilant in time to find a place for them to live in a convenient place for the officers and soldiers to move. When the time comes, Suzhou Wei wants to catch people, and it will take a lot of effort to do it, and maybe someone will be injured. You must know that the skills of those four Jiangyang thieves are really extraordinary, otherwise they would not dare to rob the officials and kill the officers and soldiers and escape. Everyone can arrest people so easily, and the good idea that Haijiao gave to the shopkeeper of the Liu family must be remembered.

The generals all felt that the reef was silent and did not invite credit, and it was the child's modesty and low-key, but they could not ignore his merits because of this. The formal reward is not his share, but they can pay out of their own pockets and give the child another gift, which is a reward for his resourcefulness and vigilance.

So, on Wednesday, the general sent a complete set of finely crafted leather armor, only slightly larger than the current body of the reef, and he would be able to wear it in two years.

General Gu sent a high-quality and powerful bow, although it was not something that the current reef could pull open, but it was also a good wish to encourage him to practice archery and become an archer in the future.

Several other generals in Suzhou Weili who had instructed him in the art of horse archery on the reef had gathered a new set of harness, Liu Keren had given him a pair of good arrows, and even two local officials who had not dealt with him much had partnered to give him a pair of good leather boots.

The reef had all the outfits of the generals, and he could add a new outfit to his beloved horse, even if many of them were not available to him at his current age, but he was still pleasantly surprised.

He began to be a little reluctant to Suzhou City.

Although this place has brought him a lot of pain, there is also a lot of warmth and joy in his memory. The things I lost in my previous life have been made up for in this life, and it seems that even the pain of the past has become blurred, and it seems that it doesn't hurt so much when I think about it.

These feelings, Haijiao can't tell other relatives, only with the little sister Begonia can talk about it.

Begonia is also willing to listen to him, and listens very seriously, and can give appropriate feedback every time, which makes Haijiao feel more happy.

It's just that he talks a lot, and it is impossible for Begonia to stop what he is doing every time and listen to him attentively, often listening and doing at the same time. Haijiao probably knew that he was a little verbose, and he was embarrassed to apologize to his sister, so he found an excuse to change the topic: "What is my little sister busy with?" Why do you always seem to be drawing these two days? ”

He remembered that the day before yesterday, the little sister was painting flowers and branches in the house, and yesterday she was also painting flower branches, and today she changed to a different flower, but she was still painting flower branches. It seems that in addition to practicing riding and archery to be a female celebrity, my sister is busy painting flowers and branches every day, why is this? Did grandmother give my little sister a new homework?

Haitang told him: "It's not that grandma assigned me a new homework, this is what Grandpa Lu taught me to draw." He was very pleased with my progress in learning to draw, saying that I had a talent, so he had been teaching me to draw various floral patterns recently. ”

Haixiya is about to be transferred out of Suzhou, and the future career plan of Haijiao has also changed, and the art of war strategy course originally set up in order to allow him to smoothly enter the border army in two years seems to be in no hurry.

Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian relaxed a lot and began to prepare for the upcoming long-distance trip. In his spare time, Lu Bainian remembered that he had promised to teach Begonia painting, so he called the child over to ask about his homework, but unexpectedly found that the progress of Begonia painting was much faster than he expected.

Judging from Begonia's homework in the past year, she initially just copied the album he gave her, and then began to make slight modifications on the basis of the original painting.

Lu Bainian didn't care about Haitang, a student. It's not that he looks down on female students, it's just that when Haixi Ya's wife Ma Shi asked him to teach his granddaughter to paint, he only asked the child to learn to draw patterns, and he didn't expect her to achieve anything at all, as if he could draw slightly more complex embroidery patterns, and then write neatly, she was already a talented girl who was proficient in calligraphy and painting, and she didn't mean to let her learn to paint as seriously as a man. Lu Bainian was deficient, but it was difficult to refuse Ma's request, so he simply handed over the flower and plant album he painted to Begonia, and occasionally pointed out the brushwork, and then let the child tinker with it.

He was pleasantly surprised that begonias could be painted in a decent way, not just at the level of embroidery.

Now that Lu Bainian is not busy, he has the leisure to give more guidance to female students. Even if you mainly learn floral patterns, there are thousands of variations to choose from. When all kinds of flowers are painted, it is also possible to develop in the direction of flowers, birds, fish and insects.

As a result, the painting homework that Begonia has to complete every day has doubled. But she didn't care, but enjoyed it a little. If she can have an excuse to avoid the female red homework, why wouldn't she do it? She began to regret it a little, her "progress" in needlework seemed to be a little too fast, it only took more than a year, even clothes, shoes and socks can be done by herself, so that her grandmother Ma had too high expectations for her, and assigned her many new tasks to help make the family's new autumn and winter clothes. If she had known this, she might as well be clumsy......

Not long after Haitang helped his grandmother Ma finish the autumn new clothes of his grandfather Haixi Cliff and his brother Haijiao, the autumn of Deguang's thirty-first year also came to Suzhou City.

Suzhou has a bumper grain harvest this year. Not only the newly planted maize, but also the grain that was originally grown locally, the output has also increased compared with previous years, probably because there has been no fighting in the past year, only sporadic skirmishes, which have not affected the grain fields. There was a lot of joy inside and outside the city, and even the Suzhou guards were happy.

With this year's bumper grain harvest, the grain and materials compensated by the Hu people, and the income from the glassware and wine sold in the past few months, the soldiers and civilians of Suzhou will be able to have a good year this year.

Due to the fact that the fleeing Jiangyang thieves and Hu people were caught in the city one after another, the Suzhou Wei stepped up the investigation inside and outside the city, and the surrounding thousands and hundreds of households also patrolled around from time to time to guard against small wanderings, and the public order in Suzhou this year has also improved compared with previous years.

Now that the military and civilian people in the state can eat and drink enough, and their lives are stable, who would be unhappy? Whether it is the government office or the health office, the number of praises heard this year has more than doubled compared with previous years.

It was in this thriving atmosphere that the order of Haixi Cliff finally came down.
