Chapter 45: Sneak food

Fang Bingjian's warning had little effect on Yun Huachun.

Before he came, he was worried that he would be exposed.

Without Fang Bingjian's reminder, he would be more cautious.

The roster is stacked as high as a mountain, and I have to check the names one by one, which is a lot of work.

Fortunately, the environment here is good, with tables, chairs and benches. Yun Huachun and Zhong Da sat down and started working.

Before Yun Huachun came here, he often sat in the office. He was old and had just retired a few years ago, so he originally enjoyed his last days in the office.

I didn’t expect that if I had to start over again, I would have to start from the bottom.

The two of them were quick with their hands and feet, and their work efficiency was fast. They also found several miscalculations in the pile of accounts.

Not much, just a few taels of silver.

But it does indeed save the public money.

In this way, Fang Bingjian looked at Yun Huachun with a hint of appreciation.

Most scholars are arrogant when they achieve fame when they are young, but when they are old, they tend to become depressed and obsessed with fame and wealth.

He saw that Yun Huachun was young and was suddenly taken to the camp and sent to the army. He was calm and calm, neither humble nor overbearing. He was a good young man.

Yun Huachun didn't dare to mention resting, and stopped only when it was time to eat.

He had been writing with a brush all afternoon, relying entirely on his arms, and his hands holding chopsticks began to shake.

The food in the cashier's office is not bad.

There is rice soup, steamed buns, a plate of pickles and a green vegetable.

Yun Huachun took a look and said to Zhong Da while holding the porridge.

"Uncle Zhong, each of us can take half of this steamed bun."

Zhong Da nodded and did not take the steamed bun. He picked up some pickles with chopsticks and drank the porridge from the bowl.

The porridge was well cooked, thick and creamy, and much more fragrant than the one he cooked, but not as good as the one cooked by Mrs. Yun.

When Yun Huachun saw Zhong Da not moving the steamed bun, he said, "I'll take it back for Tao'er and my wife to eat."

"Then Hua Chun, please bring one more. He can't even eat such a big steamed bun. I'll just bring him one," Zhong Da said.

"It's okay, Uncle Zhong, you eat, you eat more, I'm young and can't resist hunger." Yun Huachun said.

The two pushed back and forth again and again, and finally agreed to eat the dish.

Green vegetables are inconvenient to handle, but pickles can also be put into steamed buns.

As the accounting supervisor, Fang Bingjian ate much better than Yun Huachun, including two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a stewed chicken with taro.

He looked at Yun Huachun's humble appearance and raised his eyes from the book box.

"Yun Huachun, you were admitted as a scholar at a young age. Why did you delay for so many years and not continue to take the exam for merit?" Fang Bingjian asked curiously. Yun Huachun said that it was a long time ago that he passed the exam for scholar.

If you don't like to read, why bother taking a box of books with you on the way to escape? It's useless.

When asked about this exam question, Yun Huachun secretly wiped his sweat.

It turned out that I really didn't like studying. I was admitted as a scholar just to compete with my brothers at home. After I was admitted, I made a big mistake and was rejected by my family. I haven't really read much since then.

"There are unspeakable secrets in the family, and then when I get older, I marry a wife and have children. A real man must take care of the small family before he can become a big man. If he can't even handle his own family well, how can he dare to become an official and benefit the people?" Yun Huachun quickly thought of something high-sounding.

Rhetoric.

When he finished speaking, everyone present felt a little sympathy.

Zhong Da looked at Yun Huachun with more appreciation.

Although he didn't know the reason why Yun Huachun didn't take the exam again, in his opinion, Yun Huachun was responsible and enterprising, but he was just a hero at the wrong time.

Fang Bingjian looked at this box of books and had his own thoughts in his heart.

Maybe his family is in decline and he has no money to study anymore.

However, this box of books was very valuable. Yun Huachun was wearing tatters and had no idea of ​​selling the books.

Books are the life of a scholar and the anger of a scholar.

Considering that he only cares about his small family to be successful for everyone, he must be an upright person.

Then he encouraged him, "It is your destiny to be in the army. If you are practical and capable, you will be rewarded when you return to the court to discuss your merits and rewards. The military merits of being in the army are no worse than those of being an official in the court."

"

"If you're not full, I still have steamed buns, so feel free to take them."

Fang Bingjian encouraged Yunhua Chun Dao.

"Mr. Xie Fang, I'm full. I was afraid that my wife and children would be hungry, so I wanted to leave the steamed buns to them. I don't dare to ask for Mr. Fang's things if I don't get any reward." Yun Huachun refused firmly.

Seeing how insistent he was, Fang Bingjian didn't try to persuade him any more.

He couldn't help Yun Huachun all the time. If Yun Huachun was capable, he could feed his wife and children by his own ability.

We were busy until sunset, when it was time for everyone to return to their tents to rest.

Wan Hongmei and Yuntao got off work early.

As soon as the mother and daughter met, Wan Hongmei took out the potatoes that were roasted in the kitchen today, and Yun Tao also took out the rice cooker she had hidden in her arms.

"Mom, I brought you some rice dumplings. The master on the stove gave them to me."

"I also brought you baked potatoes, which are still warm."

This was an extra meal given by the chef in the kitchen. Seeing that no one else seemed to like it, Wan Hongmei took an extra one.

Anyway, if you don’t eat, you won’t eat for free.

"I'm not hungry. I'm full from the porridge." Yuntao shook her head and said.

Before coming back, the people in the kitchen gave her food.

Each person had a bowl of multigrain porridge, which was given to her by the master steamer.

The bowls she and Xian'er had were full of thick rice, and with the rice crispy rice, there was no way they wouldn't be full.

"Where's Xian'er? Are you full?" Wan Hongmei lowered her head and asked Jiang Xian over there.

Jiang Xian nodded, "Auntie, I'm full and my belly is bulging. If you don't believe me, just touch it."

Wan Hongmei smiled after hearing this, "Okay, it's good to have a full meal. Once you're full, you can sleep well."

"Then leave these for your father and Uncle Zhong to eat when they come back."

The two children nodded and helped Wan Hongmei make the bed.

Not long after, there were footsteps outside and the curtain of the tent was opened.

Although it was not completely dark now, there was no light in their tent and they could not see anything.

"Dad, you're back!" Yuntao shouted.

When she saw the figure in the dark, she recognized the man as her father at a glance.

"I'm back, have you eaten? Are you hungry? I brought you steamed buns back." Yun Huachun said, taking out the steamed buns.

"It's just a little cold, but I also packed some pickles."

Yuntao burst into laughter.

"My mother and I also brought some for you, just in case you were hungry."

"As long as you're not hungry, I heard from others that there is no breakfast in this camp, only lunch and dinner. Let's save it for tomorrow morning, you and Xi'er can eat it." Zhong Da said.

Seeing that Zhan'er was safe and sound, Zhong Da felt relieved a lot.

"I'm helping in the kitchen. I think this military camp is nice. The food provided is enough so that we won't be hungry. Why don't you go back and eat yourself. I've been in the kitchen for a long time. If I can get some good food,

Bring it back to give you a toothpaste ceremony." Wan Hongmei said.

"I've got a lot of dry straw for the bed. Uncle Zhong, do you think it's okay? If not, I'll give you some more." Wan Hongmei asked.
