The Wei brothers have special status and have relatively free movement.
The small gathering in the village next to the military camp, if they were still in the capital, they would not hesitate to take a look.
But when I really came to Guanzhou, I realized that this border town in the north lacked everything. The ordinary things in Beijing have become good things here. They can still meet their daily needs, but they are at the age where half-grown people are living in poverty. , it’s really hard to have no oil or water in your stomach.
It had been several days since we saw any meat in the military camp, and even a chicken had become a rare commodity. Only after obtaining a training certificate were they allowed to hunt in the mountains and fish in the rivers. The five thousand recruits were divided into twenty teams, and twenty teams competed. How intense it is to get a quota!
Therefore, they, the soldiers, prefer to use their pay to occasionally buy some meat to eat. There are many families raising sheep in Xiao'an Village, and even more raising rabbits, as well as chickens, ducks and geese. The aunts who wash the dishes on weekdays Just tell me, they will clean it up the next day and spend a few more coins to prepare it and bring it to you with the pot.
It's just that everyone is a soldier because they are poor, so it is inevitable to spend money.
At this time, several boys from the Wei family appeared.
Even though they don’t get any salary or money, their family background means they have a lot of money.
Being from a high family background, he has his own way of dealing with people.
At a young age, he is good at using money to win people's hearts.
Whenever the team fights and wins, the boys from the Wei family will always pay for meat to reward the big guys.
Yan Yu is so happy. She usually brings her direct lineage of boy scouts. It is difficult for the opponent to win. If she wins by chance, she will pay for meat to help her raise soldiers. If there is nothing she is not happy about, she is very happy!
I even made secret jabs and lost a few times.
Just wait for the time to come, pick out the top seeds, and cut the leeks of the Wei brothers one by one.
"Mr. Yan is back, should we go and meet him?" Wei Liugang bought the grilled fish from the market and shared it with his brothers while looking at the Yan family next to the big stone in the center of the village.
Wei Si, who rarely talks, rarely speaks: "Father has high regard for Mr. Yan."
Wei Si's father is Wei Hejin, the general of Wei.
After returning to Beijing, he found a fairly good job based on his achievements in destroying Beirong and Dingbian Pass and his connections in the General's Office for many years.
“My grandfather also said that this gentleman is a rare person.” Wei San said thoughtfully.
“Then let’s go and visit.” Wei Qi’s eyes lit up when he saw the candied haws seller. He used his own strength to push aside several children and came back with a hand full of candied haws. He smiled happily.
Wei San reluctantly followed him and paid the bill for him.
“Leave one for Yan Xiaoer, so we can come home empty-handed.” Wei Qi said as he bit into a bright red mountain fruit.
“Hmm! It’s delicious, brothers, try it quickly.”
The candied haws were divided again.
The brothers were playing with each other, grilling fish with one hand and candied haws with the other, eating happily.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's go today. It happens to be the market to buy some gifts." Wei San made up his mind and said: "Yan lives in the countryside. Seeing that his family is quite simple. Don't buy those flashy ones. Pick some home-made ones." It can be used.”
"Buying meat is the most practical thing!" Wei Qi suggested: "Let's buy more."
“If I buy a few more chickens, I won’t be willing to kill the Yan family’s chickens even if I just keep them.”
“It’s the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, so let’s buy some rice dumplings.”
“We brothers have so many people that Mrs. Yan takes care of her. How about giving her two pieces of cloth? My mother always has this when she goes to a relative’s house as a gift.”
“Then let’s buy cloth. If we calculate that’s four items, is it a little less? Let’s make up six items.”
"I think there are quite a few. Four gifts are enough. It would be a burden to send many gifts to the Yan family, so it is difficult to give us a gift in return."
“The third brother said yes, then these are the four things.”
As soon as the Wei brothers reached an agreement, they immediately took action.
Wei Qi snatched the job of buying pork and went to Guan Butcher's meat stall and asked for half a fan of pork. He didn't care how much it was, whether it was more or less, that was what the brothers should worry about. He knew that their brothers would give gifts. It's hard for Yan Xiaoer to tell them when they come to visit, but Mrs. Yan Er is kind-hearted and will definitely let them stay for dinner.
Buy more meat so you can eat more meat.
…
After lunch, Yan Huaiwen carried Yan Yu to him.
It depends on the homework assigned by her teacher.
Stand upright and wait for the results of the uncle's review. May you live long and live happily!
She knew it, she knew that her uncle would definitely have such an experience when he came home!
Yan Huaiwen only glanced at it briefly before placing the several booklets in his hands separately.
Look carefully one by one.
Yan Huaiwen only looked and did not speak.
Yan Yu picked her feet nervously.
Her family knew her own affairs, and these homework assignments looked like a lot, but in fact, her teacher only took up about half of them. The other half was made up of her using the village's planning drawings, employment statistics, cattle rental ledgers, and granary entry and exit accounts, etc. Wait for recharge.
She didn’t want to either, but she didn’t write enough of the last assignment her uncle gave her! !
It was a calligraphy exercise, and she missed a lot.
If you show your uncle a small number of large characters... Yan Yu thinks it's better to hide them and hand over something else.
I hope the uncle will forget his calligraphy homework.
Yan Yu sincerely prays!
However, her prayers were obviously of no use.
Yan Huaiwen said in a calm voice: "What else?"
“No, uncle, all the homework left by the teacher is here.” Yan Yu acted cute and pretended to be stupid.
Yan Huaiwen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, with a smile in his eyes.
He pushed the paper and inkstone and said, "Write a few words and take a look."
Yan Yu quickly poured some water, picked up the ink stick and polished the ink.
The force is moderate and the speed is neither urgent nor slow.
Even though he was panicking, his little fleshy face was still very calm, and his eyes did not even wander, and settled on the ink stick.
Yan Huaiwen was amused. The waiter's pretentiousness had improved a bit.
Light and rhythmic knocking on the door.
...… 叩 ...
Yan Huaiwen: “Come in!”
Zhang Cong opened the door and stood outside to report.
“Sir, several young masters from the Wei family are here with gifts.”
Yan Yu took a chance and took a look, and saw the Wei brothers standing in the yard, her mother smiling and talking, and Grandma Rong taking the pork from Wei Xiaoqi's shoulder.
Half a fan of pork!
Her eyes are rulers!
You can’t go wrong!
Yan Yu nodded secretly.
Wei Xiaoqi, just with this pork today, you will be able to take a wider path, don’t you know?
His eyes fell on the Zhang family boy again.
Hmph! Tell her mother to tell her father that the real head of her old Yan family is back. Why don't you, little naughty boy, say anything?
He also knows that his uncle is not easy to deceive and dare not show his tricks, right?
“Take it,” Yan Huaiwen said.
Yan Yu: God, I am still your favorite Zaizai!
“Yes, uncle!” Yan Yu was extremely nimble with his hands and feet. He ignored the half-sharpened ink and quickly put away the homework in front of the uncle.
She, General Yan, also wants to save face and doesn’t want people to know that she has such a heavy workload.
Wei San and others came in to see the ceremony, and then moved to the main room to talk. (End of chapter)
