The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

The winter in the border town is very harsh, but for the people who have lived there for decades, they have become accustomed to it.

Although there are not as many people on the street as before winter, there are still quite a few people who go out in this cold weather.

Su Weixi originally wanted to add maocai to the potato snack bar, but there were not many vegetables in the border town in winter, so he finally decided to add hot oden in the store.

Therefore, two people were recruited from the store to learn at Su's house for two days, and then oden was added to the store.

Since then, Su Weixi has not gone out and started his hibernation life.

The two little guys still insist on going to school and practicing martial arts every day, with one day off in ten days.

Mr. Zhang likes An An very much, and even privately asked Su's father and mother whether they wanted An An to take the imperial examination in the future.

If he wanted to take the imperial examination, Mr. Zhang wanted to adjust his study plan.

Su's father and mother have always respected their children's wishes. For example, in modern times, Su Weixi, a PhD in finance, was originally going to return home to continue his studies, but he became a food blogger halfway through, and their parents were very supportive.

An An is very smart. He knows what the imperial examination means when Su's father and mother asked him.

He said: "Daddy and Mommy, I just like reading. I haven't decided what I want to do in the future. Now I just hope to read more books.

After Su's father and mother conveyed this to Mr. Zhang, they no longer mentioned the imperial examination. After all, An An was still young, and he just thought that An An was really smart, so he thought more about An An's future plans.

As for Ningning, although Su's father and mother forced her to study with An An even though she didn't like studying, they just hoped that she could learn to read and have more knowledge when she grew up.

He does not set strict requirements on Ningning's studies and is very supportive of her desire to learn martial arts. Now, according to her request, he has shortened the time she spends studying academic subjects every day by half, and spends more time on learning martial arts.

Practicing martial arts is no easier than studying. The cute little boy is very hardworking in practicing martial arts every day. Master Lei also said that Ningning has excellent physique and is very suitable for practicing martial arts.

Time soon arrived and it was the first New Year after the Su family came to the border town.

Dad Su was originally supposed to be on duty on New Year's Eve, and he even specially exchanged his duty time with a colleague who was not from the local area in advance.

In view of the various snacks and two bottles of good wine that Su's father had given them, the colleagues readily agreed.

However, even after the New Year's Eve dinner was served, Su's father still hadn't returned.

Su's mother was very worried that Su's father might have encountered an accident on the road and was delayed, so she sent the housekeeper to wait at the city gate.

"Madam, something bad has happened." Butler Sun came running in, crawling.

"What's wrong? Where's the master? Why didn't the master come back with you?" "Did something happen to the master? Say something?" Su Ma was anxious and wanted to go forward to shake Butler Sun, but was stopped by Su Weixi.

After Steward Sun recovered, he said, "Madam, the northern barbarians are coming. The city gates are now closed. I'm afraid the master is busy in the barracks now."

"Oh my god! Why do these Northern Di dogs choose to start a war during the New Year?" Nanny Sun couldn't help but curse.

"What's the situation now? Has the fight already started?" Su Ma wanted to know more information.

"I asked the soldiers guarding the city. The fighting hasn't started yet, but the Northern Di army is not far from the border city. They also said that the Northern Di army this time has more people than the last battle a few years ago." Butler Sun told the news he had found out.

When Su Ma heard that the Northern Di army was large in number, she began to feel weak and her thoughts were confused.

She knew about the battle a few years ago. Her family had just traveled through time at that time. It was because of that battle that the border town was about to be breached and Qingzhou Prefecture was also in danger, so her family fled to the Daqing Mountains.

If the Duke Zhenguo had not rushed back from the capital to turn the tide, I'm afraid even Qingzhou Prefecture would have been plunged into war.

When Su's mother thought that Su's father might also go to the battlefield, she was about to faint.

Su Weixi was quick-witted and grabbed Su Ma and pinched her palm hard, and Su Ma finally came to her senses.

"Mom, don't panic. The war hasn't started yet. Now that Dad is not here, our family still depends on you." Su Weixi tried to restore Su Ma's sanity.

She knew that her mother was actually very strong, but she was just worried and confused at the moment.

Sure enough, after hearing what Su Weixi said, Su Ma stood up straight with the help of Su Weixi's hand and began to instruct the servants to do things in an orderly manner.

"Butler Sun, go and ask Old Li to close the door. No one is allowed to open the door without my order. Also, let the servants and the guards take turns patrolling the mansion." Su Ma's first priority was to ensure the safety of the mansion.

There were Northern Di spies in the city before. Who knows if there will be spies in the city who were not caught before and will come out to cause trouble now that a war is imminent.

Since Su's father went to the military camp, considering the safety of the family, he later found a few retired veterans to guard the house. All of them had seen blood on the battlefield and were very skilled.

"Yes, I'll go down and arrange it right away." After receiving the order, Butler Sun prepared to go down and arrange it.

"Wait a moment." Su Ma called Butler Sun again, asked him to come closer and whispered something to her.

Su Weixi, who was standing nearby, just happened to hear that Su's mother asked Butler Sun to go to the warehouse to get the knife, which was what Su's father had taken out from the Space Supermarket earlier.

Although it was just a machete from the previous life, it was extremely sharp and more practical than the sticks in the hands of the guards.

The reason why I told Steward Sun quietly was because the control of iron weapons and swords is very strict nowadays and it is not easy to publicize it.

"Madame Sun, please keep an eye on the people at home recently and don't let them cause trouble."

"Yes, ma'am." After receiving the order, Nanny Sun withdrew. She had to go and give instructions to the maids at home.

"Madam Zeng, go and bring An'an and Ningning to my yard. They have been sleeping with me recently."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Su Ma gave a few more instructions, she took Su Weixi back to her own yard. On the way, she stayed in her own yard with Su Weixi for a few days.

Su Weixi naturally agreed. Even if Su Ma didn't say anything, she would still ask to live in Su Ma's yard.

If she encounters uncontrollable danger, she will take her mother and younger brothers and sisters into the space.

After all this trouble, and because Su's mother was really worried about Su's father, she had no intention of enjoying the New Year's Eve dinner.

He kept a few dishes that the children liked and had them delivered to his own yard, and distributed the rest to the servants in the mansion.

An An and Ning Ning didn't know what had happened yet, and at the dinner table they were still asking Dad Su why he didn't come home for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Su's mother could only tell them that Su's father had an urgent mission and couldn't come back, but he would be back after the mission was completed.

"Mom, will I be able to see Daddy when I wake up tomorrow?" Ningning, who was being coaxed to sleep by Su Ma, suddenly asked.

Su's mother paused as she was patting the quilt. She didn't know how to answer for a moment, and she also didn't know when Su's father would come home.

"Why? Miss your daddy?"

"Well, tomorrow is the first day of the Chinese New Year. If Dad comes back, I can get an extra red envelope."

Although the little girl is young, she has a good memory. She knows that every New Year's Day morning, she will receive New Year's money from Su's father and mother.

"Go to bed quickly, you won't lose your New Year's money."

"My sister just wants to get the New Year's money, she doesn't miss her daddy." An An complained.

"Stupid An An, who said I don't miss my daddy?" Every time the little girl couldn't win an argument over her brother, she would call him by his name. For a while, she even insisted on being a big sister.

"Okay, stop making trouble and go to sleep.

Seeing that the two children were about to quarrel, Su Ma immediately stopped them.

After the two little ones fell asleep, Su's mother suddenly felt very anxious, thinking that she was too worried about Su's father.

I was just about to go next door to find Su Weixi to talk about the current situation and distract myself.

As a result, just as I arrived at Su Weixi's door, I heard a loud noise, which came from the city gate.

When Su Weixi opened the door, he saw Su Ma standing at his door.

"Daughter, is this voice what I thought it was?"

"Yes."

Yes, the loud noise just now was obviously the sound of explosives!
