"You are still young, the teacher won't accept you. Wait until you are older. Have you not eaten today's candied haws yet?"

It would be a year or two before Lu Haojie went to school, so she wouldn't have to worry about this matter by then.

I guess she and Lu Ziren have divorced, and she is sitting in her own yard, basking in the sun and enjoying life leisurely.

Lu Haojie walked with his short legs to look for candied haws, while Song Ruyi hurriedly took out the money from selling mushrooms today and gave it to Xia Yingying. Xia Yingying counted it and it was not much, only seventy or eighty cents in total.

Xia Yingying took out another thirty coins and directly made a total of one hundred coins to give to Song Ruyi.

"Yingying, you should save this money for yourself. Now the two children are going to school and the family has more expenses. You are the only one who works hard to earn money in the family. How can I take your money?" Song Ruyi refused.

"Mom, don't worry. I dare to let my two children go to school, which means I have the ability to send them to school. It's impossible that I don't have any savings. I sold a lot of cakes today. Thanks to you for helping me with work and taking care of the children. I was a mess before and did a lot of things that hurt you. This money is not much. Just consider it as my filial piety to you as your daughter, okay?"

Xia Yingying initially treated Song Ruyi as the original owner's mother. After spending some time together, she slowly developed feelings for Song Ruyi and decided to treat her well.

Song Ruyi felt warm in her heart when she heard what Xia Yingying said, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Yingying was young and ignorant at the time, and she even threatened to sever the mother-daughter relationship and told her to just pretend she never had a daughter.

But now Yingying has changed.

Yingying can now make pastries, earn money, and take care of children. She still thinks of her when she makes money and knows how to be filial to her. She is already content.

"Oh, mother, there's this." Xia Yingying opened a piece of cloth, took out a silver hairpin and inserted it into Song Ruyi's bun.

"My Yingying has grown up." Song Ruyi touched the hairpin and said with a choked voice.

Xia Yingying kneaded dough and made pastries as usual.

Although tomorrow is not a market day, I can still go to the surrounding villages to sell cakes. No matter how much money I make, it still means money.

"Yingying, don't be too tired." Yingying worked hard to get rich, so of course she was happy, but her body was not made of iron. Song Ruyi couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw Xia Yingying working so hard.

"Mom, I'm not tired. I'm just making some cakes. It's much easier than working in the fields."

Xia Yingying still made steamed cakes, but this time there was no Persimmon to make pancakes for her, nor was there any double-skin milk.

Shuangpi milk is expensive, and people in the village are definitely reluctant to buy it.

After dinner, Aunt Niu brought some vegetables. The basket was filled with cabbage, fennel, red beans, tomatoes and pumpkin.

Seeing the pumpkin, Xia Yingying suddenly wanted to eat pumpkin pie. She happened to have glutinous rice flour at home, so she asked Aunt Niu: "Aunt Niu, do you have a lot of pumpkins at home?"

"It's a lot. Do you want it? I'll ask Dalang to bring it to you tomorrow."

This kind of thing is easy to grow, and if you can't finish eating it, you can feed it to pigs. There is plenty of it in her fields.

"Yes, thank you Aunt Niu." Xia Yingying took the steamed cake and gave it to Aunt Niu.

"Hey, why are you being so polite to me? But, Yingying, your cooking skills are really good."

When Aunt Niu was leaving, Xia Yingying gave her a few more cakes to take away.

Song Ruyi was making cotton clothes in the house. Xia Yingying also had a share this time. Song Ruyi measured Xia Yingying's size, steamed rice for dinner, cooked Chinese cabbage with rice soup, fried some beans, heated up the cold dishes from the morning and ate them.

Border town, enemy camp.

A man came out from the end of the orderly patrol team and walked towards the granary.

He has an ordinary face, but is unusually tall.

He came to the granary, took out a piece of paper with the word "Yu" written on it, and said to the soldier guarding the gate: "General Yu asked me to replace you, you can go and rest."

"Thanks buddy. What's your name?"

"Lu Ren."

A young man next to him asked, "Why does he have someone to change, but I don't?"

Lu Renzheng is Lu Ziren's alias, and this ordinary soldier is Lu Ziren who sneaked into the enemy camp.

Lu Ziren spread his hands and said helplessly: "You should ask General Yu about this. I am just a small soldier. I don't know."

The young man shook his head. How dare he go to the general?

"Alas, the food is getting less and less. We only have one bowl of porridge every day. We are the ones guarding the granary, but we can't even get enough food."

"Are you not full? When I was under General Yu's command, I could have a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns." Lu Ziren asked in surprise.

"Really?" The young man showed an envious look, his saliva was about to drip.

"Of course it's true. If I lie to you, will it be good for me? Come closer and listen and I'll teach you."

The young man leaned over, but Lu Ziren twisted him to the ground and dragged him into the granary.

After a while, someone came over to check and asked, "Don't you have another person? Where did he go?"

"Go up to the hut."

"What a lazy ox and horse, he has so many troubles. Tell him to come quickly and don't fall into the cesspool."

After the patrolmen left, Lu Ziren knocked down the people who were collecting granary around him, and took the opportunity to set a fire, ignited a firework, and blew up the entire granary.

After a while, people came with water to put out the fire, but it was already impossible to put it out. They could only watch helplessly as the granary was burned to ashes bit by bit.

Lu Ziren took advantage of the chaos to blend into the fire-fighting team, pretended to pour a few buckets of water, and left with the team.

"General Wang, General Lu is still asleep. The barbarians' granary was burned. Without food and grass, he will not be able to survive for a few days. God is really helping me. Only you can take charge of the situation. Please give the order, General, so that we can attack in one fell swoop and capture those blood-gnawing barbarians."

Other soldiers also knelt down and begged Deputy General Wang to order an attack on the barbarians.

"General Lu, if this is what you mean, then I will obey you." Lieutenant General Wang closed his eyes.

"Generals, listen to my orders. Do your best to capture the Beili army and let them know what will happen if they kill our children, rob our women, and steal our food."

The war, which had been suspended for three months, was about to break out.

The war lasted for nearly two months.

Lu Ziren, who had not woken up all this time, unexpectedly appeared in the enemy's camp, cut off the heads of the enemy soldiers, and slaughtered an entire camp of enemies.

The battle ended with the victory of the Daliang army.

"General, the imperial edict has arrived. The emperor asked us to return to the capital and give us additional rewards." Lieutenant General Wang knelt on the ground and said with his fists clasped.

"Deputy General Wang, you lead the army back to the capital first. I have some things to deal with and need to return to Qingshui Town as soon as possible. During this time, do not leak the news of my departure. Don't worry, I will meet up with you as soon as possible."

"General, go ahead and rest assured. I will be waiting for you outside the capital."

Lu Ziren had waited for this moment for too long.

He is finally going home.

He rode on Zhuifeng, carried his bag on his back, and rushed to Qingshui Town without stopping.
