After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing and Li Xiangjian were tacitly aware of Xiao Mochen's identity and did not mention it again.

Yan Qingqing first took Li Xiangjian to see the sand table she made.

Li Xiangjian couldn't understand it at first, but after Yan Qingqing's explanation, Li Xiangjian became more and more shocked.

This sand table made by Yan Qingqing is the sand table of Canghe Village. The topography and landforms are clear at a glance.

Although Li Xiangjian has never been on the battlefield, he has learned how to read maps, march and fight in these days.

But where can I see it clearly on the map?

Seeing how shocked Li Xiangjian was, Yan Qingqing said again: "Actually, this thing also has disadvantages, not to mention that it is labor-intensive and time-consuming. If the range is too large, it may not be suitable. Moreover, it cannot be carried and cannot be reused."

What Yan Qingqing said is true. Although this sand table has advantages, it also has obvious disadvantages.

Li Xiangjian said: "Mom, this thing may have disadvantages for attacking cities and plundering territory, but it is of great benefit for garrisoning borders. My son knows how to use it flexibly.

And there is no certainty that his son will not show this ability. "

Yan Qingqing looked at Li Xiangjian with relief. It seemed that the child had indeed made progress. The thinking is also much more careful.

While the mother and son were talking in the room, Xiao Mochen came over.

My eyes lit up when I saw the sand table made by Yan Qingqing.

However, he still bowed to Yan Qingqing politely and said: "I've met my aunt. Something happened and I got stuck. Mo Chen was late. I hope my aunt will forgive me."

Yan Qingqing said with a smile: "It's because my family is so polite. Anyway, it's not an important matter here with my aunt. And why do I feel that Mo Chen has grown a lot taller."

Xiao Mochen suddenly showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: "To be honest with my aunt, I am actually ten years old this year.

I used to be short because I was poisoned, but my aunt is relieved that the poison has been cured now. "

Yan Qingqing let out a long breath and said, "So that's it, I'd say you're growing up too fast.

Auntie doesn't ask how you were poisoned, and she doesn't want to get involved in your past affairs.

But if you call me aunt in the future, I will have the responsibility to protect you, so if you encounter difficulties, you must tell your aunt, and your aunt will try her best to help you. "

Yan Qingqing spoke sincerely, as if he really treated him as an ordinary child.

After hearing this, Xiao Mochen said happily: "Okay, I will definitely ask my aunt for help when I encounter difficulties in the future."

Yan Qingqing doesn't know now how much energy she has to spend to make money for today's promise.

Yan Qingqing introduced the sand table to Xiao Mochen again, and Xiao Mochen's eyes lit up.

The two of them didn't go back to the mountain until dinner time.

Yan Qingqing sighed in her heart and ordered people to call back Li Xiangping, Li Xiangan and Li Xiangkang from the school.

Before dinner, Li Xiangjian finally said to Yan Qingqing: "Mom, half a year has passed. It's time for me to join the army."

Yan Qingqing took a deep breath and asked, "When are you going to leave?"

Li Xiangjian replied: "Tomorrow."

Yan Qingqing felt very reluctant to leave. She knew that Li Xiangjian might have to leave but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Li Xiangjian knew that Yan Qingqing was feeling sad and comforted him: "Mom, don't worry, the skills I have learned in the past six months are not in vain.

I have the ability to protect myself, and I will not show off on the battlefield. We will do what we can. "

Yan Qingqing knew that this was the path she chose for Li Xiangjian. It would be a bit pretentious to say that you can't bear it anymore.

He calmed down and then said, "Okay, I'll let Ruyi pack your things." After saying that, he turned around and entered the house.

Li Xiangjian opened his mouth and wanted to say that he didn't need to bring so many things, but in the end he didn't say it. It's all her mother's wish.

Soon Li Xiangping and Li Xiangan came back. The three brothers naturally had endless things to say after not seeing each other for a long time.

At this time, Li Xiangping and Li Xiangan didn't know that Li Xiangjian was going to join the army tomorrow. They also teased that Li Xiangjian was strong again and wanted to join forces to compete with him.

Li Xiangjian did not refuse. He knew that his two brothers usually exercised with his mother.

But after all, Li Xiangjian had put in a lot of effort and had specialized experts to give guidance. Naturally, he couldn't compare with those two wild men.

After only a few rounds, the two were defeated. Li Xiangjian wanted to come again. Li Xiangan waved his hands quickly and said: "No more, no more, we admit defeat."

Li Xiangjian was not satisfied with the fight at all, but seeing that neither of his brothers was a match for him, he had to give up.

When it got dark, Li Xiangkang also came back. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted nervously: "Mom, Mom, I'm back. You are so anxious to let me go home, but what happened at home?"

Today was not the day for Li Xiangkang to rest, but his mother sent someone to pick him up overnight. However, he asked Ah Si who picked him up what had happened at home, and Ah Si didn't know anything about it.

So Li Xiangkang felt quite uneasy along the way.

Yan Qingqing heard Li Xiangkang's voice and came out, pretending to be serious: "Where did the scholar's calmness and moderation go?"

Li Xiangkang immediately straightened his body and said, "Mom, aren't I anxious?"

Yan Qingqing said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just that our family hasn't eaten together for a long time.

Your third brother is going on a long trip tomorrow, so I asked you to have a meal together. "

Li Xiangkang was silent when he heard this. He knew that his third brother was planning to join the army, but he didn't know it would be so sudden.

Li Xiangkang was silent for only a moment and then said, "I'm going to find the third brother."

After saying that, he ran to Li Xiangjian's yard. Yan Qingqing took a look and then returned to his room.

She took out a set of soft protective armor from her closet. She had specially made it in the blacksmith shop some time ago and kept it in the innermost part of her box.

Then he took another 2000 taels of silver notes and put them into the bag.

Coming from a poor family, she didn't plan to bring too many things to Li Xiangjian. She could buy them anywhere as long as she had money.

As soon as Yan Qingqing finished cleaning up, Yuan Huiniang walked in and said: "Mom, dinner is ready.

My husband and the others are all waiting for my mother to serve dinner. "

When Yan Qingqing arrived at the canteen, there were indeed several children sitting there waiting neatly. Yan Qingqing raised a smile and said: "Everyone is here, let's start eating."

Eating was not as sad as expected.

Li Xiangjian told them some things he encountered during training, and Li Xiangkang told them some interesting things in the school.

The family had a harmonious dinner.

At dawn the next day, Li Xiangjian was about to leave. The Li family all got up early. Yan Qingqing handed him the packed baggage. Li Xiangjian twitched the corner of his mouth as he weighed the weightless baggage. His mother had packed it for him. The baggage is too "shallow".

As the eldest sister-in-law, Yuan Huiniang, the head daughter-in-law of their family also packed a package for Li Xiangjian, then handed him 200 taels of silver notes and told him: "Second brother, if you are poor and rich, don't be reluctant to spend it."

Li Xiangjian refused to take it, but Yan Qingqing said, "Take it if your sister-in-law gives it to you. Don't let your sister-in-law down."

Li Xiangjian then accepted it, took a deep look at everyone, then turned around, mounted his horse and galloped away.
