Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Su Qingliu stayed in the countryside until the seventh day of the sacrifice for Cui Mangzhong, and then returned to Fengting Town.

When she came back, she looked extremely haggard. The flesh she had gained for a year had been lost again. Her eye sockets were sunken, and it was obvious that she had not slept well these days.

Su Qingmei looked at her worriedly, and she just smiled and said that she was fine. She put down her luggage and went to work in the store. She also spoke less.

Yaya was young and ignorant. When she saw her two uncles and aunts, she jumped over happily. When she saw her little cousin again, she rushed to hug him. She grabbed her cousin's rattle and shook it, and coaxed Xiaobao to play.

Zhou Dajiang also returned to the store, and the eldest aunt's family also built a grave for Zhou Dazhuang. Aunt Zhou's family did the same.

After waiting for so many years, I knew that there was little hope, but I still had a hope. I didn't have a solution before, and I always looked forward to it. This time I had a solution, but the result was like this.

There was also the small restaurant that Lu Bocheng had taken her to eat before. The food tasted very good. Su Qing'an would often go to the restaurant when she invited guests. The owner of the restaurant has been her loyal customer since she opened the restaurant. But he came to see Su Qing'an two days ago and said that he would not need to send food to his family anymore. He and his wife would take their grandchildren back to the countryside.

The old couple waited for their son in the town for seven or eight years. Their daughter-in-law ran away. They opened a small restaurant and raised their grandchildren. The old couple refused to move and waited for their son to come back from the battlefield in the town.

Unexpectedly, they waited for the news that their son was killed in the battle.

There are many such families in the town. During this period, there are people in the town who are performing rituals every day, and paper money can be seen scattered on the street every day.

During this period, in addition to Su Qing'an's shop, the coffin shop and the incense shop in the town are the most prosperous.

That night, Su Qing'an coaxed Xiaobao to sleep and knocked on Su Qingliu's door.

"Sister, are you asleep?"

After a while, Su Qingliu opened the door for her.

"Sister, let me talk to you."

Su Qingliu let Su Qingmei into the room. The two sisters lay on the bed, with Yaya sleeping on the inside.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Su Qingliu shook her head in the dark night.

Su Qingmei leaned over and patted her, and said softly in her ear: "Sister, you still have us. You have your parents, your brothers and sisters, and Yaya. If Xiaobao's father also has an accident in the future... we will live together. Raise Yaya and Xiaobao together, and let Xiaobao take care of us in the future."

"Well..."

Su Qingliu responded with a buzzing sound, turned around and lay in Su Qingmei's arms, covering her mouth and crying.

The crying was suppressed, which made people feel sad and uncomfortable.

Su Qingmei hugged her tightly and shed tears.

The next day, Su Qingliu looked better. In the store, Grandma Zhou would also find an opportunity to talk to her.

The old man had experienced a lot and was indifferent to life and death. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, a young woman, her parents-in-law and husband were gone, and she was raising a little baby, a little girl. If she had the opportunity to marry again in the future, it would be fine if she married a good family. If she didn't want to marry or married a bad family, it would be really hard for her to live as a widow and a lonely girl.

Granny Zhou often talked to her and enlightened her. Father Su also accompanied her silently, and Mother Su came every now and then.

Su Qingliu gradually came to her senses and was not so depressed and depressed.

Every seven-day sacrifice of Cui Mangzhong, she would bring Yaya back to the village to burn paper for him. It was not until after the seven-seven sacrifice that Su Qingliu was relieved.

Su Qing'an felt relieved.

That day, Liu Juye came to see Su Qing'an. Since the last time the list of casualties was posted, Liu Juye would come to the store every now and then, whenever he had time, and every time he came, he would hold Xiaobao and coax him to play. Sometimes he would tell Su Qing'an about things outside.

"The tax card at the town gate was removed a few days ago. Do you think that gentleman has stopped?" Su Qing'an said.

Liu Juye was holding Xiaobao and didn't have time to reply.

Seeing Xiaobao's big dark eyes staring at him, he covered his eyes with his hands in a naughty way, but was pulled down by Xiaobao with both hands in anger, and slapped him with his little hands, and glared at him fiercely.

Liu Juye was not annoyed at all, and laughed loudly.

"This kid has a bad temper."

When little Lu Weiyang saw Liu Juye laughing at him, he got annoyed, turned around and stretched out his hand to Su Qing'an, not intending to let Liu Juye hold him.

Before Su Qing'an stretched out his hand, Liu Juye lifted him up high and threw him up twice.

Not only was the kid not afraid, he also laughed, and when he saw Liu Juye stopped throwing him, he angrily slapped Liu Juye with his little hands. Liu Juye threw him up twice again, and the boy was happy. He let Liu Juye hold him obediently and played with his clothes in his arms.

Liu Juye smiled and held him tightly with one hand while talking to Su Qing'an.

"That gentleman has become bolder and now does things quite recklessly. But he has someone above him, and the prefect has to give him some face. Now it's just that there are too many soldiers killed in the county this time, and the taxes were collected a little bit harshly some time ago, so they are just pretending. Otherwise, if there is a fuss, everyone will be embarrassed."

Su Qing'an smiled.

Then she said: "I heard that the pension silver for the soldiers who died in the battle this time is ten taels per person. The government office didn't touch it, and it was all distributed to the families."

Liu Juye pinched Lu Xiaobao's little fleshy hand, and when he was impatient, he smiled and let go, feeling good.

He smiled at Su Qingyao and said: "He doesn't dare to stretch out his hand for the pension money. If the families of the fallen in action start a riot, and it chills the hearts of the soldiers at the front and starts a mutiny, no one can bear this responsibility. It will also affect the next recruitment. When the time comes, the county will not have enough soldiers to recruit soldiers, and he will not be able to bear this responsibility."

Su Qingyu was stunned: "Is there going to be conscription again?"

Liu Juye paused and said: "With this great victory at the border, we should not recruit troops so quickly. But the situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, and many people died this time. If the army wants to increase its troops, my father and the others estimate that , will still recruit troops again."

Su Qingyu let out a long sigh.

Liu Juye also fell silent. He touched Lu Xiaobao's little head and saw Xiaobao looking at him and scratching his nose with a smile. Xiaobao patted him with his little hand, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to let Xiaobao hit him.

Seeing that he was not annoyed, Xiaobao grinned and patted him several times happily. He also looked at Su Qingyu happily, showing off proudly.

Su Qingyu glanced helplessly at the impish-sized Lu Xiaobao, nodded his little head, and he happily touched it with his little fleshy hands.

Liu Juye looked at him with a smile.

He said to Su Qingyao: "Xiaobao is very smart. He will be your support in the future. You, mother and son, just live your life well. No matter how you recruit soldiers, it has nothing to do with you. Just train Xiaobao well. Over there with the Lu family With Lu Bozu’s fame, your father-in-law and the others will also be exempted from military service.”

Su Qingyu nodded.

She is not worried about the Lu family if there is another conscription. As Lu Bozu has gained fame, Old Lu has combined the household records of his three sons. If there is another conscription, Old Lu and his family in the countryside will be exempted from military service.

It's just that the Su family in Qiaotou Village has a lot of boys, so I don't know who will go this time.
