This land was contracted by me [farming]

This official document from Zhao Keran made Qingyu Pass completely busy.

The generals of each battalion counted the soldiers from Jingyang according to Xu Jun's request, and finally screened out the list of soldiers who were the only son in the family.

Zhao Keran mentioned the old man's son in the letter, his name was Li Erniu, and he asked Xu Jun to check for him whether there was such a person in the army.If it is verified as soon as possible, the old man will be able to take his wife to a nursing home earlier.

Everyone in the army is recorded, whether alive or dead.

There will only be more people to verify later, Xu Jun specially found a military adviser for this, and asked him to order a few literate people to take charge of this matter.

In the future, Zhao Keran will be responsible for verifying the identities of the officers and soldiers.

He also asked the person in charge of registering soldiers from Jingyang to pay attention to a soldier named Li Erniu.

However, Xu Jun didn't hold much hope. In the past few years, the wars with Beidan and Xijue have resulted in countless casualties.Perhaps this Li Erniu left in some unknown war, and it is more reliable for him to wait to check the news of the few people on the death list.

What Xu Jun didn't expect was that Li Erniu was still alive.It's just that he was injured and his legs and feet are bad.

But it is better than being young and having good physical fitness.It was not to the point of being sent home, so he was arranged to be a fire soldier, responsible for cooking for the soldiers in the army every day.

Xu Jun asked Li Erniu to be summoned, and he saw him and asked himself, so as not to make a mistake.

After all, it was written in Zhao Keran's letter that he hadn't heard from him for many years. If he was still alive, he would never have heard from him.

When I found Li Erniu, he was steaming steamed buns.

Li Erniu was a little at a loss when he saw the corporal commander came to him with someone, and even the battalion commander followed behind.

On the way to reply in a hurry, he quickly thought about what he had done these days.

It seems that I didn't make any mistakes.

However, he seemed to have seen the person surrounded by the corporal chief and the chief of the village before some general.

In fact, Li Erniu didn't quite remember that a soldier like him could not get in touch with the general, and he only accidentally saw him from a distance while delivering meals.

"Erniu, this is the captain. General Xu asked the captain to come to you in person, because he has something to ask you.

You quickly put down the work in your hands and go to the general to answer.But don't waste time and let the general wait for you. "

Ma Wuchang's earnest and earnest words scared Li Erniu very much.

He looked at Hou Yiming tremblingly, and asked, "My lord, did I make any mistake? Why did the general come to me for questioning?"

Hou Yiming looked at the young general in front of him, he was no different from many soldiers.There is nothing particularly outstanding. If it is really different, it is that this Li Erniu was injured in some battle.

When Li Erniu walked towards him earlier, he noticed that the other party's feet were a little rough.

Don't say that you, Li Erniu, don't know, even he, Hou Yiming, wonders why General Xu took so much effort to find him.

Even after learning that there is a man named Li Erniu in Huotouying who lives in Jingyang, he immediately asked him to come over and find someone to lead him to see the general.

Hou Yiming didn't know the reason, but he also took into account the fear in Li Erniu's heart.

After all, a small soldier would be terrified to be called out for questioning by such a big general for no reason.

He was afraid that he would scare people out of his wits, and he would be speechless in front of the general for a while.He comforted him and said: "The general was looking for you urgently. He asked me to look for you with surprise in his tone. I think it's not because you made any mistakes, but because you have some other encounters, which made the general remember you." , that's why I want to see you."

"Hurry up and go with me. General Xu doesn't like to wait for others. If you wait later, I'm afraid his good mood will be ruined. If I lose my temper then, I can't do anything about it."

Without blushing, Hou Yiming smeared Xu Jun behind his back and created an image of Guo Shen for him.

When Li Erniu heard this, he nodded quickly and said hastily, "Master Captain, please lead the way ahead."

Hou Yiming and Li Erniu walked one after the other on the way to Xu Jun's tent.

Li Erniu followed behind, and the long queue not far away attracted his attention.

He has been cooking in the camp and hasn't had time to turn around yet.

With some doubts in his heart, he boldly asked Hou Yiming who was walking in front, "Dare to ask Captain Hou, what does this long queue do?"

Hou Yiming looked up at the long queue, he knew what was going on, so Li Erniu explained: "Oh, the queue is all soldiers from Jingyang.

The Zhao county magistrate of Jingyang recently set up a place called a nursing home, which he said was dedicated to taking care of young children without parents and the elderly without children.

There are conditions for the elderly who live in nursing homes, one of which is related to our soldiers here.

It is said that Fan Jingyang joined the army and was the only son in his family.The parents in the family can also live in the nursing home if they meet the age, and they will be looked after by the yamen.

It can be regarded as old-fashioned. "

After Hou Yiming finished speaking, there was no echo for a long time, he turned his head slightly to look at Li Erniu.

At this time, Li Erniu was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he was full of joy.

Because he fits the bill perfectly!

Hou Yiming smiled and asked Li Erniu, "Aren't you also from Jingyang? From the looks of it, why don't you seem to know about this? Didn't your corporal chief tell you?"

Hearing Hou Yiming's question, Li Erniu thought about it.

There really was such a thing, but the corporal leader didn't say anything about the nursing home. At that time, he only said that he was a soldier from Jingyang, and he wanted to register.

"I said it, but I was too busy at the time, so I didn't go by myself when I did the registration. I asked someone else to do the registration for me. If I think about it, he didn't ask too much, and returned after giving my name.

I didn't expect that the registration was done because of such a great good thing. If I knew about it earlier, I would be happy for a few days earlier. "

Hou Yiming was infected by Li Erniu's beaming smile, and couldn't help but also smiled.He walked a little slower, and carefully told Li Erniu what he knew about the nursing home.

When the speech was about the same, they arrived at Xu Jun's tent, and Hou Yiming asked Li Erniu to wait outside first.He went in and gave a pass.

"I have brought Li Erniu, do you want to see the general now?"

Xu Jun put down the first batch of materials about Jingyang's soldiers and said, "Let him in."

Li Erniu took a few deep breaths outside while Hou Yiming went in to communicate, to calm his beating heart a little.

But when Hou Yiming came out and let him in, the little heart started beating crazily again.

He stepped out, only to feel that his legs were weak and his eyes were dark.

This is seeing the great general, he, Li Erniu, never dreamed that he could see the great general.

"Li Erniu has met the general." After entering, Li Erniu quickly gave a military salute, his voice tense and his body trembling slightly.

Xu Jun could feel the fear from the young soldiers in front of him, he quickly smiled and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I just have a few words to ask you."

The truth is this, but Li Erniu still trembled involuntarily.

I thought silently in my heart, General, when you said this, I, Er Niu, became even more afraid.

It's not that he doesn't live up to expectations, it's just that the general's aura is too strong, he, Li Erniu, knelt down without being frightened, he can be regarded as a brave man.

Li Erniu replied nervously: "General, please, if your subordinates know everything, you must tell the general."

Xu Jun shook his head helplessly, and he stopped trying to make Li Erniu not nervous.Straight to the point and asked: "Your registered information says that you are the only child in your family.

Why did you never go back after joining the army for so many years?No one sent back news to report to the family that they were safe. "

Li Erniu scratched his head in embarrassment, he had thought a lot before.He even thought about whether he suspected that he was a spy, but he never thought that it was commonplace for General Xu to call him here.

But if the general wants to ask, he can talk to the general.

"Although there is a rest every month in the army, the distance between Jingyang and Qingyuguan is not close if you walk.

All the time was wasted on the road, and I couldn't get enough rations on the way back.

Although there is military pay, the army is not allowed to sell food privately.

Later, after being injured, my legs and feet were also inconvenient.I couldn't even go back and see my parents.

This battle is not over yet, and I'm afraid that I won't want to come back after I go back.Then he became ruthless, and it was better not to go back.

It's a pity that the military pay saved up over the years can't be handed over to parents.I don't know if they are doing well, whether they can have a hot meal every day. "

Li Erniu mentioned the parents he hadn't seen for many years, and his expression was melancholy, because the thought of his parents washed away his fear and tension in the face of the general.

He stood upright, his eyes moist.Thinking of his helpless parents in Jingyang, he said: "I am also illiterate, and it is rare to meet literate people in this camp.

So I never wrote this letter. Even if someone in the army could read, I asked someone to write it, but no one at home could read.

It makes no difference whether you write or not. "

After listening to Li Erniu's words, Xu Jun fell into deep thought.

Over the years, he has never thought about these soldiers.

He can read and write by himself, and write family letters when he wants to.People in the family are also literate, and they can read family letters.

He has never felt helpless like Li Erniu.

This was the first time that Xu Jun realized positively that he had not done enough.

An inexplicable sense of guilt welled up in his heart, making Xu Jun a little ashamed.His mood was not high, and his voice became much lower. Xu Jun patted Li Erniu's shoulder, and said with a little apology, "It's because I didn't think well."

In the army, Li Erniu's situation is not an exception, but almost all soldiers are like this.

All people are homesick and homesick, but as a general, he can't even send them a letter from home, which is really unreasonable.

Li Erniu didn't think so.

He didn't know what he said that made the general feel so emotional, he hurriedly explained: "General, you have treated us very well, the military tent we live in now is covered with wool felt.

It is very warm to live in and has a lot of space.You can also eat enough food every day. The good salt that the army eats now is given by you, General.

Compared with the past, you can only eat salty soil to taste the salty taste, that is the difference between heaven and earth.

General, you also gave us sugar water to drink. What we look forward to most every month is to boil a bowl of sugar water and drink it sweet.

So the general has already thought a lot about us, Er Niu pledged his allegiance to the general to the death. "

Li Erniu was full of gratitude when he said it. In his opinion, not only Xu Jun, but also Marshal Huo and the other generals are all very good.

It can make the soldiers full of food, have salt to eat, and not be frozen. These are just the basics.

As for the spiritual care of the soldiers, Xu Jun seemed to have never thought about it.

After confirming Li Erniu's identity, Xu Jun asked Hou Yiming to send him back.

He himself wrote a letter to Zhao Keran, wanting to discuss with Zhao Keran whether Jingyang could be used as a pilot.

He wants to set up an agency to deliver soldiers' salaries and letters from home.

At the same time, there must be someone who writes and reads letters from home.

After sorting out the list of Jingyang's only sons who joined the army, Xu Jun hurriedly sent it to Zhao Keran along with the letter.

At this time, Zhao Keran was harvesting cotton.

Because Hong Feng planted a lot at one go and took good care of it, he even invited Fan Dali to come over to look at it several times.

This Fan Dali is an expert in farming. Even Zhao Keran said that he is very good at farming, and he will take the initiative to study it even if he is careful.

He is in charge of all of Zhao Keran's land in Hedong Village, and he takes good care of it.

This year's cotton can be described as a bumper harvest.

Hong Feng invited someone to come over to collect the cotton. He knew that Zhao Keran wanted to have more jobs that the women in Jingyang could do.

Hong Feng recruited a lot of women this time, and he also said that if there is a young child in the family who needs to be taken care of, he can bring the child here, and he will provide lunch at noon.

This move directly made Hong Feng the No. 1 good person and good deed in Jingyang that month.

"Mother, this is delicious, you eat it." A disheartened little girl handed a small fruit to her mother.

Mrs. Wang was working hard to pick cotton, and she was taken aback by her daughter's sudden shout.

She patted her chest and looked at the things in her daughter's hand after she calmed down.

She had never seen this fruit before, and it was covered with a thin layer, which looked a bit like Jingyang's new paper.

After tearing open, there is a small and round fruit inside, with a light color.

Mrs. Wang's face changed, she slapped the fruit off her daughter's hand, quickly hugged the child, patted her back, and anxiously asked her to spit out the fruit she had eaten before.

"Why do you dare to stuff anything into your mouth? What do you want your mother to do if you eat to death someday?" Mrs. Wang's voice was tinged with tears, and the little girl was also frightened by her mother and cried loudly.

Zhao Keran and Hong Feng were not far away. Hearing the sound of crying, they came over to have a look.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Keran stepped forward and asked.

Mrs. Wang knew that the person in front of her was the county magistrate, and she immediately said as if she was grasping at a straw, "My lord, my child ate that fruit. I haven't seen this fruit before. What if it's poisonous?" Woohoo."

Zhao Keran looked in the direction Mrs. Wang pointed. He picked up the fruit on the ground, looked carefully and said with a smile: "It's okay, this is Gu Niang fruit. It is rich in nutrition and can be used as medicine. It tastes delicious. Very good, presumably the birds from south to north brought seeds from nowhere and landed here.

Because the cotton stalks are high, half of the sunlight is covered, so it is a semi-shady place.The soil quality is also suitable for the growth of this fruit, so it was born along with cotton. "

After speaking, he wiped the mushroom fruit and put it into his mouth, the juice splashed in his mouth, "Mmm, slightly sour and delicious, delicious."

After listening to what Zhao Keran said, Mrs. Wang had already let go of her heart. When she met Zhao Keran, she still ate it, and even boasted that it was delicious.Even more relieved, she quickly pulled her daughter up, told her to stand upright, and said, "Hurry up and find some more of these mushroom fruits for your lord."

He also warned: "You can't eat anything else, you can only find this one, do you hear me?"

The child's emotions came and went quickly, she responded and said she knew.After that, he happily found fruit for the county magistrate in the cotton field to eat.

Zhao Keran didn't even have time to say no.
