History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

It took a lot of time to go back and forth like this. Fortunately, I stepped on the city gate and went to Beijing.

The dark streets were full of people rushing home while there was still light. At this time, there were very few people on the street, and Father An drove the carriage to Zhushikou quickly.

At the entrance of the alley, Minxing had brought Minyi to wait in front of Zhengsun's shopkeeper's tea shop. When he saw Father An coming in a carriage, his eyes lit up.

"Ama, sister!"

Father An pulled the rein and let out a "wow", and the horse stopped slowly, stopping in front of the tea shop.

Min Ning lifted the curtain to come out, and was hugged by Min Xing who was waiting at the side.She was a little caught off guard by his sudden move, and was still a little dazed when her feet hit the ground.

Soon, Minning came back to her senses, her eyes were sparkling, and her moist eyes revealed shyness and novelty.

In her previous life, she was an only child, and she had never had such close contact with her brothers and sisters. This feeling was very fresh, and she thought it would be nice to have such a brother!

"Is Minning hungry? The meals at home are ready. If you are hungry, brother will take you back first."

Minning watched Father An get into the carriage, she pursed her lips and shook her head slightly, speaking in a soft voice. "Thank you brother, I'm not hungry yet."

Father An came out with a big package in his arms, and yelled at Min Xing, "What are you dawdling about, why don't you hurry up and take the package over."

Minxing hurried forward to take the package, but he didn't estimate the weight well and almost missed the package.

"Be careful!"

Min Xing readjusted with a bitter face, he asked Father An, "Ama, what's in it?"

Father An scolded: "Why do you talk so much? Be quick, and hurry up with the whole family!"

"Okay, okay if I don't ask anymore?" Min Xing struggled holding the package and went into the alley.

Father An said kindly to his daughter and youngest son, "You two also go back with your elder brother, and Ama will return the carriage first."

Min Ning nodded obediently, took the initiative to pull Min Yi's hand, and followed Min Xing into the alley.

Behind him, Father An dragged the carriage away.

After entering the yard, Minxing put a package of soap on a padded stone slab in the yard.

He straightened up and took a breath, wiped his forehead, and turned to his siblings, "Minning, you and Minyi wait in the yard first, I'll go and light the lamp."

Minning hummed, touched the two copper coins wrapped around her waist, let go of Minyi's hand, and untied the copper coins.

Min went into the room and lit the oil lamp, seeing Min Ning coming in with a long copper coin, his eyes popped.

But he didn't ask, he just thought that Father An asked her to bring it in, so he never thought that Minning earned it himself.

"Minning, I cleaned a room for you. I will use my bed first. We will change it when your bed is ready." , anyway, it's not cold enough to be frozen.

Minning thanked him.

Min Xing opened his mouth, showing an expression uglier than crying, "Don't tell me thank you, we are relatives, aren't we?"

Minning understood the meaning of his words in an instant, it was too unfamiliar to say thank you between relatives, if he hadn't mentioned it, she would not have noticed it.

"Sorry, I will pay attention next time." Minning was silent for a while, and promised.

Min Xing did not continue to catch her speech problems this time, his face was not good-looking, but it was not incomprehensible, after all we separated for so long, it is inevitable that we are new to each other.

"You sit here for a while, and I'll bring the food." In fact, few people eat this meal at night. After all, everyone is not rich, and they don't have to work at night. Naturally, this meal can be saved.

However, Father An and Minning had been running back and forth for so long, Minning was afraid that they would be hungry, so Minning prepared dinner.

For this meal in the evening, the staple food is the steamed corn bread eaten at noon, a bowl of freshly fried bean sprouts, and a plate of roast duck.

This plate of roast duck firmly attracted Minyi's eyes, and just as the roast duck was put down, he clamored to eat it.

Min Xing refused with a black face, "No, didn't you eat two corn buns just now?"

Min Yi looked at the roast duck and salivated, and then accused Min Xing: "Brother, you actually hid the roast duck before!"

Min Xing coughed in embarrassment, and began to coax him, "Okay, Ama hasn't come back yet, wait a little longer, and we'll have dinner when he comes back."

When the door was pushed in the yard, a series of footsteps came from far and near.

Father An walked into the room and frowned, "Why don't you have dinner yet? Don't starve your sister."

Min Xing hurriedly said, "Let's go."

After he finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen, while Father An went to move the soap into the house, and went to the big round jar and squatted down to wash his hands.

Minyi ran over and handed the dry cloth graciously.

Minning stood up, a little at a loss, she found that she couldn't do anything.

Min Xing brought in the porridge, she seemed relieved and hurried forward to take it.

After the family sat down, Father An pushed the roast duck in front of Minning and said, "Try it, even the palace likes Yu Maochun's roast duck. Today is a great day for our family to reunite, so we should eat something delicious." Let's celebrate."

After a pause, he said earnestly again: "You are siblings, who else in this world is closer to you besides me? From now on, you should support each other, brothers and sisters are in the same boat."

Min Xing nodded respectfully in response, Min Yi still didn't understand and just bit her chopsticks and watched the roast duck drooling, while Min Ning kept silent, but soon she also nodded.

Father An was very happy, took a sip of the porridge in the bowl, and then moved Minning's thigh with his chopsticks.

Minyi couldn't wait a long time ago, seeing Father An move his chopsticks, his chopsticks quickly and accurately stretched towards the other duck leg.

After the family finished eating and washing, Minyi was sent to An's father's room, and his room was occupied by Minning.

The sound of the watchman knocking on the watch came from outside. Minning lay on the bed, looking at the dark top of the bed, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she closed her eyes with a smile.

Because it was delayed by yesterday's incident, the matter of worshiping his wife was put on this morning.

Father An came back after clicking Mao. His current position is very leisurely, and he is on duty in the Circular Mound Altar.In a year, only when the emperor went to the Heaven and Earth Altar to worship, did he really take up his duties, and the rest of the time was just a idle time.

After breakfast, the family prepared joss sticks and offerings, and there were two horses parked in the yard that Father An had borrowed.

Two horses, Father An took Min Ning, Min Xing took Min Yi, and the four rode to Lingguang Temple in Cuiwei Mountain in the western suburbs.

Minning's Erniang Zhang's reincarnation card is hung in Lingguang Temple. I heard from An's father that her Erniang once hung a longevity card for her in this temple and lit the eternal lamp. Before she died, she said she wanted to be closer to her. After her death, her father moved her tablet to the temple and hung it.

This is also the reason why Minning only saw the incense burner but not the memorial tablet at home.

The two memorial tablets need to give the temple ten taels of sesame oil money every year, which is one-third of the family's annual income. No wonder my brother Min Xing is anxious to pass the exam. He also wants to alleviate the family's difficulties.

However, now that she is back, she should take over the financial situation of the family.

Lingguang Temple is very famous in the capital, especially the scenery here is also very beautiful, it is not that there are tourists to visit.

Today is not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, so there are not many real pilgrims. The family quickly entered the Dizang Temple. Father An led them to quickly find Zhang's spirit card. After placing the offerings, he lit the incense and distributed it to everyone. One stick.

Holding the incense, he opened his mouth first, "My child is mother-in-law. Minning is back. I know you have been thinking about something, so I brought her here for you to see." He closed his eyes and bowed, and continued, "She ate a lot. Bitter, if you have a soul, bless and bless this child, so that she can live happily ever after, and live happily ever after in the rest of her life."

Father An put the incense into the censer and pulled Min Ning to a position out of his way. "Come talk to your mother-in-law."

Minning imitated what Ama had done just now, holding incense and putting it on her forehead, she said in her heart, "Emiang, no matter who I was before, now I am just Anjia's Minning - your daughter, don't worry I will take good care of my father, elder brother and younger brother so that they will not be harmed."

After Minning bowed, Minxing and Minyi bowed down in turn.

It was only then that Minning learned from Minyi's nagging that he was now eight years old. The kid said that he would grow up soon.Min Ning was very surprised. Later, he asked the allergy department and found out that his eight years old was a false age, and this kid was born two years too young!

After paying homage to Mrs. Zhang, Father An took Minning's Longevity Card to see. Minning wanted to remove it. After all, she was a living person, and she always felt terrified when facing the longevity card engraved with her own birthday. Panic.But Father An disagreed, he felt that she was able to come back because he had been giving her the Longevity Card.

"You have had a lot of misfortune since you were a child, and you don't know what to do when you grow up. The Longevity card will continue to be hung to accumulate merit for you. I hope your future days will be safe and smooth."

This was a good wish from a father, and Minning felt that he had no position to refuse.

When I passed by the Daxiong Palace on my way back, I went in to add sesame oil money.

Father An was very happy this time, and threw five taels in with pride, making Min Xing beside him twitch.

After returning home, someone came over as soon as she entered the door. Minning saw that it was the person who helped her guide the way yesterday.

"Wang Shao, why are you here?" Min Xingxing came out and was surprised to see the person coming.

When Minyi heard the familiar name, she ran out of the house in surprise and shouted, "Brother Wang!"

Min Xing became jealous, rubbed his younger brother's head hard and complained, "You heartless little bastard, why do you see that your big brother Wang is more affectionate than my real brother?"

Minyi escaped from his clutches, pulled up the corners of her eyelids with both hands, made a grimace at him, stuck out her tongue "slightly slightly" and ran back to the house.

Seeing the two brothers making a fuss, Wang Shao smiled, then frowned and asked Min Xing, "Have you got the result of the short examination?"

Min Xing shrugged, and said indifferently, "You know, there is little hope, why, you came here to talk about it?"

Wang Shao glanced at Min Ning behind Min Xing, and said, "Yesterday I was the one who led the way for this girl. She said she came to see you, and I brought her here without much thought. I'll come and have a look today." After all, yesterday he He walked in a hurry without thinking too much, in fact, he came to his senses halfway, and it was too late to regret, how could he put a stranger and Minyi together, even if this stranger was young, but for Minyi Still dangerous.When he came back from the camp today, he couldn't wait to come back after returning home to change his armor.

If Minyi had an accident because of his carelessness, his conscience would be in trouble for the rest of his life.

Upon hearing this, Min Xing hugged Min Ning and introduced it to Wang Shao, "This is my sister—Min Ning, dear!"

This word quickly spread in the small alley, and more than 20 residents all knew that the lost daughter of the An family had been found a few years ago, and they came to congratulate them one by one.

But Min Ning felt that these people were looking at her strangely, especially when they looked at her as if they were looking at a national treasure, as if they were saying, "Look, this is the An family's daughter who was found by herself!"
