Song Ziling raised her lips and smiled, then sat down and continued to pinch walnuts and eat them.
"Sit down! Why are you standing there?" Song Ziling said, looking at Li Zheng who was still standing.
"Oh, oh..." Li Zheng glanced at Liu Feng with some fear and sat down next to Song Ziling.
Liu Feng's father is the village chief of Liujia Village outside the imperial city. Seven or eight of the recruits are from Liujia Village. So they formed a small group among the recruits, and this small group was headed by Liu Feng
There are five of them living in their barracks, so the recruits are quite jealous of them and don't dare to offend them.
"How old are you?" Song Ziling looked at Li Zheng and asked.
This Li Zheng was the first person, other than Colonel Zhou, who took the initiative to talk to him when he entered the military camp.
Of course, after he entered the military camp, he also wanted to get along well with everyone and become brothers, but when he took the initiative to talk to people, they didn't pay much attention to him.
Li Zheng replied: "It turns sixteen after the Chinese New Year."
His family was poor and had several nephews to support, and the crops grown in the fields were not enough to eat. When he turned sixteen, his family saw that the military camp was recruiting soldiers again, so they asked him to join the army. This way, there would be one less person to eat in the family.
Not to mention, I can still earn one tael of silver a month.
Song Ziling said: "Then you are four years older than me, and I am only twelve years old."
Li Zheng knew how old Song Ziling was. After all, when he first entered the camp, both veterans and recruits in the camp were talking about him.
"You really don't look like a twelve-year-old. You are almost taller than me." You look very strong.
Song Ziling said: "That's because I often drink milk."
"Milk?" Li Zheng frowned and said, "Isn't that fishy?"
"It's okay after it's boiled. It's not too fishy." He was used to drinking it, so he thought it was okay. "My mother said that milk is a good thing and you can grow taller if you drink it. I drink it often, so I grow faster."
"Oh~" Li Zheng nodded and said, "No wonder you can grow so tall. This is the first time I've heard that drinking milk can help you grow taller!"
Song Ziling raised his chin and said, "My mother knows a lot."
Song Ziling talked to Li Zheng for a while, then took his clothes and a basin to the bathroom to take a bath.
"Li Zheng, you can do it!" Liu Feng walked up to Li Zheng and put his hand around his neck.
"This means you are fawning over the eldest young master."
Li Zheng felt a little uncomfortable being held around his neck like this, so he used his hand to pull Liu Feng's hand.
"I'm not flattering."
"You said you weren't flattering, but you were like a pug in front of the young master, with your tongue hanging out." Liu Feng tightened his grip around Li Zheng's neck.
"Li Zheng, call the young master twice instead and see if he can throw a bone for you."
"Isn't it despicable to flatter people and work like a dog for them?"
"No matter how poor I am, I would never do such a thing." People in the same village as Liu Feng mocked and humiliated Li Zheng.
"I didn't, don't go too far." Li Zheng blushed and grabbed Liu Feng's hand with both hands.
"Hey! Look how the young master from Caiba Shang talked to us like this. Li Zheng, do you think you have found a backer?" Liu Feng patted his face with his hand.
"Liu Feng, that's enough." Jiang Nian couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said.
Ma Tian also said: "Song Ziling saved him, and Li Zheng just gave Song Ziling walnuts and said a few words to him. How can he become a flatterer?"
"Didn't we also eat the walnuts brought by Li Zheng's family?" Zhang Yun whispered.
