In the blink of an eye, it’s the eighth day of October, and the chimney in Wanghe Village, which is usually quiet at the end of the day, started to emit smoke early today.
Li Hui took Li Heng and Yan Yixin back to the village after exercising. Each of them carried a basket full of pine cones.
Coincidentally, there was a travel journal in the study, and Li Yue read it to pass the time, and it actually contained instructions on how to make open pine nuts.
Cheng Xue learned how to make it, and all the children in the family liked to eat it. Even Li Huai, who only had four small teeth, also liked pine nut powder. Xiao Qinglin came to the house to eat some rice that day, tasted a few, and immediately decided to sell it in the capital.<
/p>
Pine nuts and hazelnuts from Liaodong are very popular in the capital, especially in theaters and teahouses. But they are the peeled kind, not to mention expensive, and sometimes you can’t buy them if you want to eat them because they can’t be peeled out.
These days, Li Hui and the others go up the mountain to pick up some, just to prepare some more, sell them at a good price, and keep them to rent a house in the capital.
"Hey Huizi, you're back from training? Tiedan has grown visibly to the naked eye, and half of his head has grown!"
Li Xiang's enthusiastic attitude confused Li Heng and Yan Yixin. With such enthusiasm, it was obvious that he was a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken. Li Heng gave a heavy "hum", pulled Yan Yixin's sleeve and left. I didn't want to
I want to talk to my father, but he is too far away and cannot reach me.
Li Hui didn't resist too much, nodded lightly and said:
"If you run every day, you will be less likely to get sick. Uncle Xiang is so free?"
"Nothing, just come out for a walk. You can do your work, I'll go back first." Li Xiang waved his hand and left.
Li Hui looked at his back with the tip of his tongue touching his gums. After seeing him on the mountain that day, he went there again when he had time. The traces of burning on the ground were obviously from a long time ago.
It can be concluded that Li Xiang lured him there deliberately. As for what he wants to know, we have to wait for Li Xiang himself to come and say it.
I believe I can see the old man when I come back in the next few days. When the weather gets colder, in the twelfth lunar month at the latest, he should come home for a showdown.
At that time, he will not tell the truth completely, and he should be able to pick it off completely.
When he opened the courtyard door, he heard Li Heng complaining to Cheng Xue again. His jealous look was very funny, especially his eyes were so round.
"...Mom, when dad comes back, talk to him properly. The old guy can't care about him. He's nothing!"
"Okay, dad heard this and will ignore him from now on." Li Hui responded with a smile.
Li Heng suddenly felt embarrassed and ran away with a red face.
Cheng Xue looked at his joking smile, shook her head speechlessly, and said:
"How old are you and still teasing him? You don't look like a father at all. Seriously, what does he want from you?"
"I haven't done anything." Li Hui said that seeing the two of them alone in the room, he leaned over and murmured in a low voice, "I'm trying to increase my presence. You should be able to see it in the past few days."
He fully complied with the agreement and did not hide anything when things happened, so Cheng Xue knew what was about to happen.
"I went to see Uncle Guo again yesterday, but he was still speechless. But when I mentioned the two elders, Uncle Guo became obviously excited."
Li Hui saw her loneliness, gently squeezed her arm and said:
"It's okay, the old man will tell you. Although he will pick himself clean, he can't run away as long as he participates. I will send him in."
The tiger in the yard hummed a warning sound. Li Hui was worried that something had happened, so he pushed the door open and came out. Unexpectedly, there were footsteps outside the door, accompanied by sobs.
The "recruitment" that has been going on for so long is finally about to gather people and take action.
Li Hui put the tiger cub into the house so that it would not frighten people with its sudden scream. The two brothers Li Heng came out of the house and simply went out together to watch the fun.
Far away, I saw some people standing at the entrance of the village.
Although a lot of people from Wanghe Village left during this recruitment, the situation in Wanghe Village is definitely better than that in other villages. After all, some of them work on forest farms.
Except for their wives and children, Guo Sanyu and Guo Sizhu didn't show up at all. Guo Dake and his wife didn't show up at all. They saw that the two brothers regretted it and kept looking back. As for Guo Erliang, who didn't see it, he didn't know that it was the father-in-law's family who spent the money.
If you buy it, you should go from the father-in-law’s house.
Jiang Jianye called the roll again, and this time everyone except Guo Erliang arrived. Those who organized to join the army stood in the front row, and then it was time to wait for the large army.
Yan Yixin held Li Heng's hand at all times, fearing that he would rush to the front and be taken away later.
After a full stick of incense passed by, I finally saw a huge crowd walking this way.
Li Heng's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately saw his second cousin Yu Xuan in the crowd. He waved vigorously, but he didn't even look at him, as if he didn't know him.
Seeing this, Li Hui pulled the child down and lowered his voice and said:
"Don't make trouble. Your cousin and the others should have discipline and not talk to ordinary people casually. Just watch them honestly and don't bother them."
When Li Heng heard what his father said, he immediately became silent. He looked at Yu Xuan's armor with envy, it was so cool!
There were five people in charge of checking the names, and one of them was Yu Xuan. When he finished checking the names, he found that one person was missing, so he called out "Li Zheng".
Although it was only recorded by name, the business-like attitude at this moment, coupled with the armor, still gave people a sense of oppression.
Jiang Jianye came over, cupped his fists and raised his hands, saying:
"Master Jun, Guo Erliang is in Chishuigou Village ahead. He is leaving from his father-in-law's house."
When Yu Xuan got the answer, he returned the gift with his hand, and then strode to find Shang Feng to report. Passing by Li Heng, he raised his hand and patted his forehead. The little guy suddenly beamed and was so happy that he couldn't find the north.
After returning home, I told Cheng Xue vividly, with longing in my eyes.
"...Mom, my cousin looks so majestic in armor. I want to wear it in the future too."
Cheng Xue put down the medical book in her hand, looked at him with a smile and asked:
"Just to wear armor?"
Li Heng thought carefully and nodded heavily to answer:
"Uncle Guo Sanbo and Fourth Uncle Guo were able to wear armor even when Grandpa Guo was angry. I think I can do it too."
?!
Li Hui couldn't help but feel violent inside.
Cheng Xue, who noticed his anger, quickly pulled the child over and said:
"Silly boy, Guo Sanyu and Guo Sizhu can't wear your cousin's armor."
"Why?"
"Because they can't read or write." When Cheng Xue answered, she kept looking at Li Hui from the corner of her eye, fearing that he would run away.
Li Heng said "Ah" in sudden realization and said:
"That's right, it's totally unreasonable to dress so majestic even though my own father is so angry! Mom, can I wear it when I become more educated?"
Li Hui, who had been silent, took a deep breath and said:
"Not everyone can wear your second cousin's clothes. You are good at reading, but your handwriting is too ugly. If you record it today, do you think the general can read your handwriting clearly?"
Li Heng has no trouble studying, but he gets cramps and bones when practicing calligraphy. It's not that he doesn't want to write well, but every time he writes, he is unsatisfactory.
A calm word was like a wake-up call to Li Heng, and he immediately woke up.
"Don't worry, Dad, I will practice calligraphy twice as hard starting today, and I will definitely be able to do it well."
"So you want to join the army? Just to wear armor?"
