A Timely Wife

After the bamboo rafts were launched, their itinerary went smoothly. I don’t know whether it was God’s face or their luck. The Meihe River was fast but unexpectedly spacious. The place where they entered the water was a relatively narrow river basin. After passing this area, the river At least twice the width, Chengdong and Li Ruosong looked around with great interest, the scenery on both sides of the strait is quite good.

Maybe it’s because I’m by the river instead of going deep into the forest, I don’t have that depressing feeling in the forest, the sun shines on my body, I just feel warm all over my body, and my mood is much better. Drinking animals, weird plants, and the couple had a very happy chat. If they didn't know that they were on their way, they would have had the illusion that they were out for a picnic.

"When these children grow up and we can let go, we don't care about the messy things, just the two of us, walk around and have a look, okay?" Li Ruosong hugged Chengdong from behind , Said in Chengdong's ear.

Chengdong leaned on Li Ruosong, and replied lazily: "Okay, then we will travel all over the country, and when we have finished traveling the great mountains and rivers in China, we will find a boat, and the two of us will go overseas to have a look."

Li Ruosong imagined the scene for a while, and said with a smile: "Well, it's just the two of us, and no one will take it with you. Tell me, will those boys jump around in anger?"

Chengdong shrugged and replied: "It's up to them. By that time, they might have grown up with their children. They won't have time to take care of us. I just have one idea. We don't need to cause trouble for them. Didn't think too much about it."

Li Ruosong responded with embarrassment: "Yeah, you don't know, that kid Li Cheng once told me suddenly to let us not give all the money to them, let us keep the money ourselves, they We can earn money by ourselves, we have money in our own hands, and we will not beg for a few children for everything when we are old. I was shocked when I heard it, and thought that this child was possessed by unclean things. "

Chengdong was a little surprised and said, "Huh? The boss told you? How could he say such a thing suddenly?"

"When Dean Zhang took them to the practical class, I met an old man in the hospital. He was about 50 years old, but he looked like 70 years old. He was very sick. At the beginning, the children at home often came to visit him. , serving tea and water, feeding and dressing, the old man felt that his children and grandchildren were filial, thinking that he didn’t know how much it would cost to see a doctor, so he took out the pension fund to the children. When the pension fund was given to the children, the children came It's quite frequent. When the children found out that the old man had no money, he immediately changed his face and stopped serving the old man. Why don't you die? The nurses and doctors in the hospital knew about the family and sympathized with the old man. Dean Zhang brought it up when they went.

Dean Zhang said that Li Cheng was very silent in those few days, probably because he was stimulated by this incident. What he told me probably understood the horror of human nature. Let us take all the money well. There is no filial son in front of the hospital bed. He should be worried that this kind of thing will happen in the future. He and Cheng Li will definitely not be like this, but they will get married and have children in the future. He should be worried that we will not get a good one in the future. take care of. "

Chengdong frowned, and said: "This kid is too thoughtful. According to our current identities, even if we are too old to move and suffer from various diseases, we will not be the same as that old man. Even if these two boys Marrying a daughter-in-law who is not filial, we will also have special people to take care of it. However, this matter really needs to be taken seriously. When we go back, we will hand over the people in the court. Legislative work related to the crime of abuse will be put on the agenda. One is that children abuse their parents Yes, one is about parents abusing their children, all of them must be done.”

Seeing that Chengdong never left work, Li Ruosong helplessly tapped Chengdong's forehead, and said, "You are really, just a worrying person. Just now you said that you should leave them alone and let's go out to play by ourselves, but now it's starting again. Worried about the law, I think, even if we go out in the future, we will not feel at ease."

Chengdong immediately said: "No, by that time everything will be straightened out, and we won't worry about so many things like now. The more we do now, we won't be so tired when we get old, and we won't be so tired. You can play around with peace of mind, if you don't have a good foundation right now, I think we don't have to think about going out to play, and it may be a luxury to be able to retire at home at that time."

Li Ruosong nodded and said: "This is a serious matter. The sooner we get this mess over, the sooner we can get away. I don't know what's going on there now. It's hard to say what's going on in the south. After all None of the elites from various countries have been sent out, and a gang of mobs has already made us so passive. If all the elites from various countries are sent out, it is hard to say what will happen in Southern Chu." Thinking of the situation in the south at that time, Chengdong said with some concern: "I I also discovered this problem. We overestimated the combat effectiveness of our junior soldiers before. It is not right to say that. We should be too dependent on those weapons. We always feel that we have the most advanced weapons, and the surrounding countries do not have these. Things, we have always had the upper hand in several small-scale confrontations, and we have become a little arrogant and underestimated the enemy. Now it seems that we are still too naive. General Zhou told us when he was alive, no matter how powerful the weapon is. Advanced, in the final analysis, still depends on the quality of soldiers, and the usual training must not be slack, otherwise it will be a big mistake."

Li Ruosong sighed, and said, "That's right, that's why they just used a small amount of medicine to beat our hundreds of thousands of Zhang's troops to pieces, and a gang of mobs almost took down our three prefectures in Nanchu. There are more than 1 soldiers who went in. It is also our fault. Since the death of General Zhou, the requirements for military discipline have not been as strict as before, and the daily training is not as frequent as when General Zhou was alive. He is the most persistent one. Among the regular troops, Ziqing Zize is not bad, but as he has won more battles, his mentality is a bit floating. Zhou Cheng, Zhou He, Lin Feng, and Zhou Ping are slightly less experienced, but they are still hardworking, training or something To be able to do what I was asked to do before, what are the other people, especially Qi Zhi and the other three who were promoted from the position of President Qian. dealt with by military law.”

When it comes to the affairs of the army, Li Ruosong gets angry. It's not that Li Ruosong and Chengdong don't want to deal with it, but that they have too many affairs and they are too complicated. Every day, I squatted in the army.After the lack of such strict constraints, except for a few generals who can still maintain their previous style of work, a few generals have become more ambitious and relaxed. Li Ruosong has been thinking about cleaning up various items in the army when he is free. As a result, there has been no time for affairs, and the ones that come and go have been delayed like this.

Li Ruosong regretted it, and Cheng Dong was also a little annoyed. He didn't expect that the soldiers who had been placed with high hopes would be so vulnerable when they encountered a large-scale battle. When they had the upper hand, everyone could still do it They obeyed the military orders and were orderly, but once the battle situation was not good for them, they started to become a mess, the command was uncoordinated, and the military orders could not be communicated well. In Cheng Dong's opinion, there were a few mistakes that were the most basic and should never be committed. mistake.

Chengdong patted Li Ruosong's hand and said, "Don't worry, what happened this time is not all bad for us, at least we already know where our problems are, if we can survive this time, we will be baptized by iron and blood The combat effectiveness and discipline of the young soldiers can be qualitatively improved, and at the same time, a group of soldiers suitable for promotion can also emerge, and unsuitable people can also be found out from these people. I should be expelled. In fact, I am quite grateful for this crisis. Otherwise, we would really become frogs at the bottom of a well. We always think that we are so powerful, but in fact we are just sitting in the sky. In the future, we can no longer rely on our own slight advantage All kinds of things, I feel that the king of heaven and I are the first and we are second. If we continue to be so arrogant, the more good things we make, the more coveted we will attract. Ruosong, in the end, we are still not strong enough, otherwise this Things will never turn out the way they are now.”

Li Ruosong said with a dignified expression: "Indeed, one learns one's wisdom through suffering. If Nanchu can survive this crisis after returning home, we must convene a post-war summary meeting. Everyone must first review and review their own mistakes. Let's talk about the improvement plan, especially the military department. They have been a little loose during this period of time, and they have to tighten it up.

And those aristocratic families, I always thought they should be honest, but I didn’t expect them not only not to be honest, but to make more and more progress. I really thought that the court would not be able to move without them.If the scientific examinations in Nanchu were the same as before, only taking the Four Books and Five Classics, they would still have the capital to show off their pride. Now the scientific examinations are held once a year, and they still focus on practical work. They still think that they are being robbed by others. The great Confucians who went there put on airs and put on their seniority, relying on the old to sell the old, and forced Ruoshan to make concessions to them again and again, and let them be proud for a few days, and deal with them after they go back. "

Cheng Dong agreed: "These people are part of it, and there are also those restless businessmen. Except for the residence and Nanjiang Mansion, the businessmen in the other prefectures have also become more ambitious. In the future, this kind of trade will still be returned. The imperial court, at least Ruoshan, would consider for the common people, but these businessmen, hmph, they think we don’t know what they are doing, or they think that our Southern Chu will be wiped out sooner or later, so they can’t wait to act as the vanguard for Dahe, thinking Do you want to learn from the power of the dragon? It depends on whether you have the fate
