Qi Mingcheng's ability to step forward at this time really saved Shen Ling a lot of trouble.

Shen Ling quickly entered the state, perfectly interpreting a little girl who made a mistake and was caught by her family, and said aggrievedly: "I...I..."

Qi Mingcheng gave Shen Ling a blank look, took out two taels of silver from his sleeve, handed it to the soldier who was interrogating Shen Ling with a heartbroken face, and stammered: "My lord, you have worked hard, be careful, You use it to drink! My sister, if I do something wrong, I, I will beat her up later, you have a lot, don't have a lot of experience with her!" When he was speaking, Qi Mingcheng's eyes Still staring at the two taels of silver.

Without waiting for Xiao Bing to say anything, Qi Mingcheng never dared to look him in the eyes, always submissive.But Qi Mingcheng was very fierce towards Shen Ling, he pulled Shen Ling, and said: "Apologize to your lord quickly! Look at yourself, a good girl, what does this look like!"

Xiao Bing saw Qi Mingcheng's sincere and fearful expression, and guessed that he had given out all the money on his body to honor himself.Facing this kind of ordinary people who don't have much knowledge, Xiao Bing can't continue to embarrass him.The most important thing is that the above-mentioned person wanted a young man, not a young lady disguised as a man... So, Xiaobing said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't delay my work. Let's go!"

Qi Mingcheng bowed repeatedly, grabbed Shen Ling's arm unceremoniously, and pulled her away, as if he was very angry.

After leaving the city, Qi Mingcheng immediately let go of Shen Ling.Although it is urgent to follow the power, but this era still pays attention to whether men and women can accept or not kiss each other.Zhao Dalang and Wu Shun soon caught up.Wu Shun recognized Shen Ling and gave Zhao Dalang a wink, so they didn't say much.

It wasn't until Qi Mingcheng felt that it was safe that he cupped his hands at Shen Ling: "I offended you just now, I hope you don't mind."

Shen Ling smiled and said: "How did you say that? It's clear that you helped me, and it's too late for me to thank you! Thank you so much!"

Qi Mingcheng smiled politely, and didn't take the opportunity to seek a relationship.

Seeing that Zhao Dalang and Wu Shun were carrying things in their hands, Shen Ling asked, "Did you come to Yun'an City for something? Are things settled now?"

Zhao Dalang smiled innocently, and nudged Wu Shun with his elbow.Wu Shun, who was betrayed by his brother-in-law, had no choice but to answer Shen Ling's question seriously.

Knowing that they were going back to Lidong Town, Shen Ling said: "I also want to go to Lidong Town, can I take a boat?"

During these days, Qi Mingcheng's leadership position in this small charcoal selling group has been unknowingly established, so after hearing Shen Ling's question, the two brothers-in-law all turned their attention to Qi Mingcheng, as if they were waiting for him to make a decision.Qi Mingcheng had a troubled expression on his face.

Shen Ling knew that it was difficult for her to be strong, and said: "I forced it..." Because he was wearing men's clothing, although everyone knew that he had a different identity, his speaking habits were still biased toward men.

"Well, it's not impossible to let you take a boat..." Qi Mingcheng said hesitantly, "Ahem, just now at the gate of the city, when do you think you can give me the two taels of silver I gave to Xiaobing? It's not that I don't want to bear it." This little money... well, in fact, I just can't bear this little money."

Shen Ling couldn't help laughing, and said, "I was negligent... Naturally, this can't cost you."

Qi Mingcheng seemed to be begging for money, but his behavior was actually showing an attitude.He was telling Shen Ling that he didn't intend to repay favors.And why did Shen Ling laugh? Was it because he thought Qi Mingcheng had a noble character?No, it's because he understood Qi Mingcheng's cunning.

Not wanting to repay favors is not only because of Qi Mingcheng's good character, but also because he doesn't want to participate in Shen Ling's messy things at all!

From Yun'an City to Lidong Town, it will take about ten days by water.Wu Shun used a tarpaulin to temporarily build a cabin on the boat for Shen Ling to rest.Naturally, such conditions were not good, and they also ate dry food on the road.Shen Ling never complained of suffering.

Qi Mingcheng admired this Miss Zhou's Biao.However, due to the difference between men and women, they did not communicate much along the way.

After returning to Lidong Town smoothly, Shen Ling bid them farewell immediately.He gave Qi Mingcheng two taels of silver.

Ordinarily, Qi Mingcheng did Shen Ling such a big favor, and Shen Ling is the kind of person who is not short of money, even if he gave Qi Mingcheng 200 taels of silver, it would not be an exaggeration.However, Shen Ling admires Qi Mingcheng quite a lot now, so he doesn't want to use money to insult Qi Mingcheng's personality.

Qi Mingcheng: ...

Come on, insult me!Everything is negotiable with money!

After leaving the boat, the trio of charcoal sellers embarked on their way home.

They arrived in Lidong Town in the morning, and it was noon when they reached Xiahe Village.Mrs. Qi should help make tofu at Zhao's house, so she is not at home.So Wu Shun followed Zhao Dalang and Qi Mingcheng to Zhao's house.Before entering Zhao's courtyard, they heard laughter coming from the house.

The three men couldn't help but glanced at each other.

They have been away from home for so long, the women at home should be very worried about them.I still remember that before they set off, none of them were optimistic about the business of selling charcoal, for fear that the men would not be able to earn a penny, and their faces were full of sadness. Why are they so happy at this moment?what happened?

But it's better to be happy than sad!When they left home, they were most worried that something would happen at home. After hearing the laughter, they breathed a sigh of relief.Zhao Dalang walked into the courtyard and shouted, "Mother, I'm back! Mingcheng and I are back! My brother-in-law is here to see you!"

Before the words fell, the women came out to welcome them.

There are two happy events at home!

One is that Mrs. Zhao can get out of bed and walk around.Originally, she was only half paralyzed, and her symptoms were milder than that of full paralysis. After recuperating for so long, she was able to take care of herself!However, she was still awkward when walking. She couldn't move forward step by step like a normal person. Instead, she had to move the normal half of her body to the front, and then forcefully threw the paralyzed half of her body over. All in all, it was very difficult.But at least she doesn't have to lie down!

The second is that Qi Erniang is pregnant. It was found out in these two days that she has been pregnant for a month and a half.

Qi Mingcheng counted the days in his mind. When they went to sell charcoal, they spent 23 days on the way back and forth, and stayed in Yun'an City for more than ten days. Wasn't it exactly one and a half months?In other words, his second sister was conceived the night before Zhao Dalang set off for Yun'an City?

Wu Shun came here, so he naturally thought of this, and immediately gave Zhao Dalang a meaningful look.

Qi Erniang blushed with shame.However, her eyebrows are full of joy.

Now that the trio of charcoal sellers have returned home, the family is considered to be blessed with three blessings!

After deducting the corresponding costs, the three of them can each get a small 30 taels of silver.That's a lot already!I don't know how much income ordinary people in other places have, but in Shanglai Village, an ordinary family can draw ten taels of silver a year, which is considered quite good!

Zhao Dalang is the pillar of the Zhao family, but now it is Mrs. Zhao who is in charge of the money in the family, so he immediately handed over all his income.Qi Mingcheng thought about this issue on the way home, so he also took out 20 taels of silver to hand over to the public, leaving only ten taels of silver with him.

The old lady Zhao accepted Zhao Dalang's money, but she shook her head and rejected Qi Mingcheng's, saying: "You, although you also call me mother, but the fate between us is just like this for a few years. After a few years, you will separate out." Well, you don’t need money to live? Hey, save all your money yourself.”

Qi Mingcheng wanted to say something else, but the old lady Zhao said: "It's not just you, it's your sister-in-law. She is your own sister. There is nothing difficult to say between you siblings. You can ask her directly. She usually raises chickens." When will I ask her for the money she earned from the eggs she saved, and the money she earned from embroidery with her new sister? Shouldn’t she keep it for herself? You are all daughters-in-law, it’s the same, I I'm not partial. You can keep the money you earn for yourself, and it's convenient to buy anything you want. In short, there are no rules in our family, you just work hard to live a good life."

The new girl that Mrs. Zhao is talking about is Miss Zhao.Zhao Xiaomei's nickname is Xinmeier.

Mrs. Zhao took Zhao Dalang's money because he was the eldest son and he was responsible for the family.

However, Mrs. Zhao allowed her daughters-in-law to have selfish intentions.She never liked to treat her daughter-in-law like a quail, is it necessary?Some old ladies in the village wished to use their daughter-in-law as a donkey and keep the family's money firmly. Mrs. Zhao could only shake her head at this.

Moreover, which of the Zhao family's tofu and this time's charcoal was not Qi Mingcheng's idea?

Let’s just talk about the charcoal. This year they burned it late, and it was already too late when they thought of the idea. If they start work earlier next year, they can at least double their income!If you come here every year, let alone Saburo and Shiro want to learn, even if the whole family moves to the town, it is not without the ability.

The old lady has experienced many big and small things in her life, and her heart is open!

What's more, the old lady who could only lie on the bed can now stand up and walk. Whose credit is this?

When the doctor went back and forth for consultations, Mrs. Zhao said "Thank God for your kindness", she didn't want to cause trouble for Qi Mingcheng, but in fact, in her heart, Qi Mingcheng had already credited him with all the credit.If it weren't for Qi Mingcheng's filial piety, he massaged her every day in the first few months, and taught the eldest daughter-in-law to continue to massage her before going away. If it wasn't for the two brothers and sisters who did their best to serve her, how could she recover so quickly?

Thinking of this, the old lady felt sorry for her second son.

Mingcheng is such a good male daughter-in-law, the second child just doesn't have this blessing!

"Yes! I tell you to leave the old woman cruelly, and watch your daughter-in-law live with others in the future!" The old lady wiped her tears in private.

The old lady was still thinking, anyway, she has many sons, if Mingcheng doesn't mind, after three years, Sanlang and Shiro will be up to him to choose!Of course, if Mingcheng prefers girls, there is no other way. It can only be said that their Zhao family is not so lucky, and they cannot keep such a good person as Mingcheng, alas.

--------

Winter in the north came very early, and Zhao Chengyi, the Erlang of the Zhao family, wrapped up his single clothes tightly and rubbed his hands vigorously.

He has to work hard to survive, as long as he climbs Changjin Mountain, he can find his way home.

However, he couldn't just go back like this.General Han's command error killed [-] of his own soldiers!However, Zhao Chengyi heard from the passing merchants that General Han was not only not punished, but was rewarded for his great achievements!Hehe, in the booklet that the Han thief asked for credit from the court, it was written that [-] enemy bandits had been wiped out, and at least [-] of them were soldiers from the Jing Dynasty!How dare he climb up on the blood of his own soldiers?

Zhao Chengyi must work hard to live, as long as he is still alive, the truth will not be completely buried!However, Zhao Chengyi knew very well that he was just a small corporal leader with a humble reputation. If General Han turned around and accused him of being a deserter, not only would he die, but his family would also be implicated!

What's more, Zhao Chengyi is no longer free. He was forced to become a slave of the Tudan tribe by accident and was closely guarded.

In the Tudan language, Changjin Mountain is not called Changjin Mountain, but Shenglong Mountain.

But I know it's not Shenglong Mountain, it's Changjin Mountain!

My Changjinshan, my country, my old mother and my brothers and sisters... I will go back one day!
