Old Sheila stared at Suldak with a scrutinizing gaze, and said indifferently: "Have a good sleep, and go to the river bend tomorrow to cut some red thatch and come back. The red thatch on the roof will be re-paved, and the house will be re-paved."
It has been leaking for a few days. A few days ago, the river rose and people drowned. I didn’t let Rita go there anymore. The water level should recede now. If you want to continue living at home, you have to learn to work.
It’s impossible to always have someone to spare at home…”
After saying that, he wanted to take little Peter from Suldak's arms, but little Peter stayed in Suldak's arms and refused to leave no matter what.
"You...agreed for me to stay?" Suldak was still a little confused about who changed Old Sheila's mind. It seemed that Old Sheila was ready to try to accept herself. For some reason, Suldak didn't understand at this time.
I actually felt a little moved.
Old Sheila turned around and walked back. He quickly picked up little Peter and chased after him a few steps from behind. He didn't even notice that his steps became much brisker.
"No one wants to drive you away, I'm just worried that you won't be able to survive the hard life in the countryside." Old Sheila's voice still had a hint of coldness, but it was somewhat calmer than yesterday.
Suldak followed old Sheila, looked at her staggering back, and said confidently:
"Sheila, I will let you live a better life."
Old Sheila paused in her steps. She did not turn her head and only said:
"I want to hear about Duck. You can tell me more about it when you have time in the future... Did you promise Duck to take care of little Peter?"
Suldak gently held little Peter's tender little hand, and seeing little Peter was like going back in time and seeing Suldak's childhood.
"Yes, that's true!" Suldak even hoped that little Peter would grow up quickly.
Old Sheila stopped, turned around and looked at Suldak, with a pleading look in her eyes, and said to Suldak: "Then can you teach him some sword skills? Sooner or later he will have to go to the battlefield after he becomes an adult.
It will definitely come in handy in the future.”
Suldak thought for a while and agreed readily: "Of course there is no problem with this, but I only know some basic swordsmanship, so I can only give some of the most basic skills to Peter. For more advanced swordsmanship, I'm afraid you have to go to the Zhan Zhan Academy.
To study, I can ask someone to write a letter of recommendation, and when little Peter is older, I will send him to the Zhan Zhan College to receive systematic study in the college."
"Are you willing to send little Peter to the Zhan Zhan Academy?" Old Sheila's eyes lit up and she asked impatiently.
She even lost the reserve she had always maintained, and you could see the longing in her eyes.
Surdak did not expect that what could touch the depths of old Sheila's heart was actually promising to send little Peter to the War College, so he immediately said:
"Of course I will send Peter to the War College. If he performs well enough in the college, I can also let him study in the Advanced War College. Students who graduate from the Advanced War College will at least start as non-commissioned officers when they enter the army. There is no need to
Enter the new barracks (cannon fodder camp)."
Old Sheila's stone house was not far from the place where she had mutton soup. Before she entered the yard, she saw the ancient horse gnawing on the grass in the yard, and Rita's figure disappeared in a flash.
Suldak followed old Sheila into the yard, but saw Rita walking out of a small room next to the stone house with a jade handle. It seemed that she was cleaning the stone house just now.
Suldak originally thought that the hut was prepared for him. Unexpectedly, old Sheila went to the hut with air leakage from all sides and even a big hole in the roof to take a look. Then she glared at Rita who was hesitant to speak, and then
She walked into the stone house with Surdak, led Surdak into her room again, and then said lightly to Surdak:
"Just sleep here for now. The room is too small, so I can only wrong you..."
After saying that, he walked out of the stone house silently with his body bent, and walked alone into the drafty house next to the stone house.
It seems that the house should be a simple firewood house. Suldak only stayed here for one night and already had a rough idea of the situation here. The room in the middle of the stone house is a small living room and kitchen. The left and right sides
Each has a small bedroom. Normally, old Sheila and Rita should sleep in one room, and Natasha and Peter sleep in the same room. If it is true that Surdak returns, then Surdak will sleep with Natasha.
One or two rooms are of course just enough.
But it can't be done now. Suldak needs to live in a separate room, but there are only two rooms in the house, so old Sheila decided to give up her room. She moved to the one next to the bathroom on the side of the stone house that almost had no roof.
Live in the woodshed.
How could Suldak let Old Sheila live in the woodshed? He hurriedly took a few steps ahead of Old Sheila and got into the woodshed with a faint musty smell. He saw that there was just a bed built with wooden boards inside.
, there was even only a layer of worn linen sheets on it, and Suldak could more clearly feel how miserable this family lived.
"Let me live here. When I was on the battlefield, I couldn't sleep without seeing the stars every night..." Surdak said to old Sheila. After finishing speaking, Surdak felt that this rhetoric was too forced.
Then he pulled out a sleeping bag sewn from red-eyed hyena skin from his magic waist bag and said to Old Sheila: "When we were in the military camp, we usually slept in this."
Seeing that Suldak insisted on doing this, Old Sheila did not argue about this matter. Anyway, the bedroom conditions in the stone house were not much more comfortable than those in the wood house, so she had no choice but to say to Suldak: "There is a bathroom next to it. If you can't sleep, you can take a shower."
Take a shower and then sleep."
Not only had Suldak not had a good rest in the past two days, he had not even done the most basic washing. He had ridden a horse all day the day before, had a duel with someone this morning, and participated in a village tour in the afternoon.
At the dinner party, Suldak felt that his whole body was covered with sour oil. If he didn't take a shower, it would be difficult for him to sleep. Seeing that Old Sheila agreed to let him use the bathroom, he prepared to take a good shower.
bath.
When little Peter heard that Surdak would not leave, he excitedly wanted to take a bath and sleep with Surdak.
If there is anything more valuable in the Suldak family, it might be the iron pot in the kitchen and the wooden bucket in the bathroom. Suldak poured the water from the water tank on the wall into the big wooden
Then he stripped the little Peter, who looked like a mud monkey, naked, threw him and himself into the barrel, and took a long bath.
While taking a bath, he took out the remaining piece of buttered bread and a small half of bacon sausage from his magic waist bag, placed them on a wooden board, and cut them into fine slices with a dagger for little Peter to eat.
Little Peter only ate two slices, then licked his tongue and refused to take another bite no matter what.
Seeing that he was drooling with greed, even closing his eyes and not looking, and refusing to eat more, Suldak asked him if the buttered bread and kielbasa were not to his liking.
"I just want to save some for my grandmother, mother and aunt. They probably have never eaten these delicious things!" Little Peter blinked his big clear eyes and said in a childish voice.
Suldak felt that at this moment, a sour feeling rushed into his heart from the soles of his feet, and he couldn't help but hug little Peter tightly.
As if the softest part of his heart had been touched, Suldak smiled and said to little Peter: "I will definitely bring more to little Peter next time."
"Well, I like this soft bread. It's so sweet!" Little Peter felt that this was a very important thing. He must make it clear to Suldak that he could buy more butter bread...
