I was a young master in ancient times

Chapter 60 An Houyu's Marriage

At the beginning of March, Ankang and others officially allocated [-] mu of land east of Zhangchui Town, and the newly built grain camp began to operate.

Song Zhenwei looked at the yellow land where the snow had melted and exposed sporadically, and said with emotion, "Little brother Ankang, our Li family army can rely on you."

He took out a small wad of banknotes from his pocket, "The general allocated money to the grain camp. Since we went to northern Xinjiang last year, we haven't gotten anything from Maozi. This time Xu Changming didn't bring much money to us," he said. When it came to Xu Changming, Song Zhenwei said with some contempt, "I don't know how the superiors arranged for Xu Changming to be the general this time. We, General Li, have to listen to him. Hmph."

"Brother, use this money well. Let's plant the land full of food. Then we don't have to look at the bad faces of Xu Jiajun and those people."

Ankang took the bank note and roughly scanned the top one, which was 500 taels.It is estimated that this small stack can have as little as 1 taels.It seems that Old General Li really has high hopes for him.

Song Shitou swayed a sleeve, and looked at it from a distance.

Song Zhenwei glanced at his fellow villager, put Ankang's shoulders on his shoulders, and told him familiarly, "Help me take good care of my fellow villager. A 34-year-old man with a missing arm said that he would not be able to marry a wife when he returned home. It’s been almost ten years in the barracks.”

Ankang glanced at Song Shitou following Song Zhenwei's line of sight, "Brother Shitou is honest and willing to work, why can't he find a wife? After retiring from the army, the military camp will send some money. It's enough to find a wife."

"Hey, he's a dead brain." Song Zhenwei pointed to his head, "When he was injured, the higher-ups gave ten taels of silver to appease him and let him go home. As a result, he sent all the money home and said to The younger brother in the family built a house and married a wife. He has a younger brother and two younger sisters. He is missing an arm, and he can’t work quickly. He receives less salary than others every month. I guess he plans to stay in the military camp for the rest of his life. .”

"Stay in the barracks all your life?" Ankang turned his head to look at Song Zhenwei suspiciously, "Will you still be in the barracks when you get old?"

"There are many people in the military camp who are missing arms and legs and don't want to go home. When these people still have strength, they stay in the military camp to do odd jobs. When they are old, our General Li will be kind and will place them in our own village. They make a living."

"You may not have seen many people. There were probably dozens of people. They all do the dirtiest and most tiring work." Speaking of this, Song Zhenwei sighed, "I was chased by Maozi twice last year. People with bad legs basically It's all gone."

Song Zhenwei's words reminded Ankang of Zhao Qin.Zhao Qin is also unwilling to go home because of his physical disability, for fear that his family will not be able to accept it and will be a drag on the family.If he is chased by Maozi next time, he must take good care of Zhao Qin and drag Zhao Qin to run together.You can't leave Zhao Qin behind.

Ankang was thinking about Zhao Qin, and in Yuyang thousands of miles away, Mrs. Li had just heard the news that Ankang and his classmates were going to stay in northern Xinjiang for a few years.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Wei Shi sat on the small bed with Ping An in his arms, and saw Li Shi's expression on the opposite side was different.She wondered why her sister-in-law reacted so strongly when she heard that Ankang would not come back.

Ping An held a dried sweet potato tightly, and took a bite from time to time, dragging out a long stream of saliva.Wei Shi wiped his chin with a handkerchief.Now he can not only walk a short distance, but also has a tooth.This dried sweet potato was specially bought by Mrs. An to make him grind his teeth.

Mrs. Li made up her mind, and confessed first, "Look at my brain, I've been busy for a new year, and I forgot everything. I should have told you about this a long time ago, but I forgot. There is a favorite Xiaolang."

Wei asked curiously, "Which family's Xiaolang?"

"Ankang's classmate, Zhao Qin."

Wei recalled Zhao Qin who had met many times, and suddenly said, "Kang'er has three classmates who are close friends. Why did the thick words fall in love with Zhao Qin?"

"It's because Zhao Qin set up a column in the magazine that teaches literacy." Li Shi said, "I don't know how to read either. I just heard that Zhao Qin is very talented."

She said sadly, "That girl said she would not marry unless she was Zhao Qin. I thought that Zhao Qin was a scholar and ran a magazine with Ankang. The two of them are a good match. I wanted to ask Hu Ziniang to help me find out Inquire. But Houyu is seventeen this year, and Zhao Qin doesn't know when he will come back. This..." "How can this girl, Houyu, afford to wait?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Since the kind words are willing, why don't you let Hu Ziniang continue to inquire about Zhao Qin's house and let them send a letter to Zhao Qin. You can make an appointment first, and then get married when Zhao Qin comes back. With Kang'er and his father here, Are you afraid that Zhao Qin's family will go back on their word?"

"My brother and sister are absolutely right." Li Shi seemed to have taken a reassurance, "This is what should be done. I will discuss it with that girl when I go back."
