Tie Kui's Extra Story (125)
When Ning Zhan received Xiao's letter and saw that they would not be able to return until the beginning of next spring, he was immediately depressed. But he knew Ning Hai's temperament, once he made a decision, he would not change it. Moreover, the emperor is happy to see the success of Ning Hai's decision, so he has no position to oppose it.
When I got home, I originally wanted to tell Zeng Chenfu about it. As a result, I saw my wife was sullen.
Standing beside Zeng Chenfu, Ning Zhan asked with concern: "Who made you angry?"
"I told you before that Zeng Miaojia and his wife opened a restaurant in the capital. Who would have thought that the guests who came to the door yesterday vomited and diarrhea after eating their judge's food. Her man was arrested by the government, and she went back to her mother's house for help. Mother had no choice, so she came to me and asked me to fish out her man." Zeng Chenfu didn't agree, but her mood was still affected.
Ning Zhan asked, "Has anyone died?"
Hearing that no one was killed, Ning Zhan said, "It's easy to do, just ask them to compensate the victims for their losses."
"I helped them this time, who knows what will be recruited next time?" Zeng Miaojia was used to pushing forward, so Zeng Chenfu really didn't want to help.
However, she couldn't really stand by and watch this matter. If my brother-in-law didn't reach out for such a big incident, outsiders would know that she should be called impersonal.
Ning Zhan felt that this was not a problem at all, and said with a smile: "This time the matter is over, let them go back to their hometown."
Zeng Chenfu said: "I also hope they go back, but Zeng Miaojia won't be willing."
"It's up to her whether she wants to or not."
Zeng Chenfu immediately understood the meaning of these words: "It's best to let them never come to the capital again."
That afternoon, Zeng Miaojia's husband was released from prison. Compensated the victim's loss, and then sold the shop as quickly as possible.
Zeng Miaojia was unwilling to go back to her hometown when she heard that she was beaten up by her husband, and she became honest immediately.
Zeng Chenfu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the two had returned to their hometown.
I wanted to tell Ning Zhan about this at night, but Ning Zhan came back at noon.
Ning Zhan said happily: "Princess Dachang led the troops into battle and killed six thousand enemies. Princess Dachang also chopped off the head of one of the opponent's generals. The emperor was overjoyed when the news of the victory reached the capital."
upon hearing the news,
Zeng Chenfu was also very happy: "So, father and mother should be able to come back this year?" The eldest princess won a big victory as soon as she went, and the people below naturally did not dare to have any objections to her. The father-in-law and mother-in-law will not stay in Tongcheng for too long.
Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "It's going to snow over there soon, and my parents won't be able to come back this year. But the eldest princess has gained a firm foothold in Tongcheng, and my parents will definitely be back in the spring of next year. At that time, I will ask for leave to pick them up .”
Zeng Chenfu nodded.
At this time, Zao Zao said to Ning Hai with a grateful face: "Uncle, I can win such a battle this time, all thanks to your old age."
In addition to official affairs, Ning Hai also told Zao Zao his experience and experience of fighting Dong Hu in these years, and he really didn't hide any secrets. And this also allowed Zao Zao to understand the enemy in the fastest time.
Ning Hai smiled and said: "It is your own ability that can win the battle. It is said that the younger generation can be feared, and the old saying is indeed true."
The two talked for a long time, and Zao Zao returned to the military camp after lunch in Ning Mansion.
Xiao said with a smile: "The eldest princess is really powerful, she won a big victory as soon as she came." In fact, she was quite critical when she first knew about Zao Zao's career in the army.
Based on Xiao's education, she felt that women should be husbands and children. But after staying in Tongcheng for so long, the concept has gradually changed. Now she thinks it's good for women to be stronger, at least they don't have to be bullied. So, the environment is really important.
Ning Hai hummed and said: "After this battle, the people below will no longer question her, and I don't need to stay here anymore." He didn't expect that Zao Zao's learning ability is so strong, and he can teach things quickly Learn not to say, but also draw inferences.
"Master, what do you mean?"
Ning Hai was in a good mood: "I can retire after success." With such great ability, Zao Zao has nothing to worry about, and he can leave with peace of mind.
Xiao frowned and said: "It will snow in half a month at most, your body is not suitable for traveling in heavy snow."
Ning Hai shook his head and said, "If I don't go back to Beijing, I want to go back to Tiejia Village to celebrate the New Year this year."
When people get old, they feel nostalgic. He not only went back to Tiejia Village to have a look, but also wanted to visit the stone house on the mountain. But the stone house is in the mountains, so it is definitely impossible to go there in winter.
Xiao Shi thought about it in his heart, then nodded and said, "I'm going to pack my things now."
Except for some change of clothes, everything else has to be packed and sent back to the capital.
Fang Hui knew that Ning Hai was going to Tiejia Village to celebrate the New Year, so he said, "Father, I'll take you back!" When he knew that Zao Zao was going to succeed Ning Hai, his worries came to fruition.
Ning Hai did not agree: "How can you go away because there are so many things in the military now! Ah Hui, I begged the eldest princess, and she promised to take care of you. Even if I leave, you don't have to worry about the future." Now that Zao Zao is in charge, It's time to behave well, how can you walk away!
"Father, my son is not filial, and you will still worry about me even when you are old." He knew that Ning Hai was the last thing to ask for help. But this time for him, he begged the Eldest Princess.
Ning Hai smiled and said, "As long as you're doing well in the future and don't make me worry about it, I'll be satisfied."
After a pause, Ning Hai said: "I estimate that I will return to Beijing in April next year. Then you can ask for leave and go back to Beijing."
Fang Hui was stunned for a moment, and said, "Father..."
Ning Hai said: "Manly man, it is hard to chase after a word. I promise your mother will let you separate from Ah Zhan after she retires. If you say so, you have to keep it. Ah Hui, even if you split up, you and Ah Zhan They are also brothers. Brothers, they should support each other."
Fang Hui nodded heavily and said, "I know."
When Hongbo received a letter from Ning Hai, and saw that he was going back to Tiejia Village for the New Year, he was overjoyed. Go home early and tell Tiehu and Chunni the good news.
Tie Hu asked: "Kuizi is going back to Tiejia Village to celebrate the New Year? He doesn't need to fight anymore?"
Hongbo said patiently: "Grandfather, uncle passed away not long ago. Grandfather, uncle can go wherever he wants in the future."
In fact, he had told Tie Hu about Ning Hai's retirement. However, as Tiehu grew older, his memory became worse and worse. What I said to him just now, I forgot when I turned around.
Tie Hu snorted and said, "It's good to go back to my hometown for the New Year, but I haven't been back for several years."
Chunni and Hongbo said: "Bo'er, let me go back to Tiejia Village with your father to prepare new year's goods!" She misses the old days when she is old, and now she often thinks about her childhood. It is estimated that Kuizi has the same idea as her.
When Tiehu heard Chunni say that he was going back to Tiejia Village, he hurriedly said, "I want to go back too." The older he gets, the harder it is to leave his homeland. Although Tiejia Village is not far from the county seat, only a day's journey away, Tiehu still prefers to stay in Tiejia Village. Unfortunately, Hongbo did not agree.
Mainly in rural areas, there is not even a doctor. It is easy to find a doctor in the county, and the medical skills are also good.
The house in my hometown has not been lived in for several years, and it must be completely repaired before I can live in it.
Tiehu said he wanted to go back to Tiejia Village, but Hongbo disagreed: "Grandfather, when uncle comes back, you will go back to the village with him. There will be many people and it will be lively."
It's easy to talk about it, and then Tiehu made sense. And Chunni and Duan Dongzi rushed back to Tiejia Village that day.
The patriarch of the Tie family knew about this and immediately brought a group of people to help. In just two days, not only did the house be repaired from top to bottom, but also helped to clean the house inside and out several times. Inside the house, it was clean and spotless.
After the house was repaired, Chunni went to the town to buy new dishes and new quilts.
Hongbo also called the brothers Awang and Acai to his home and told them about it: "Your uncle will go back to his hometown for the New Year this year, and your brothers and sisters will also go back to their hometown for the New Year." The three brothers and sisters of Awang have no father. Motherless, these past few years have been at Hongbo's house for the New Year. This year he will bring his whole family back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, and the three Awang brothers will naturally go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year together.
The two Awang brothers showed joy on their faces: "Uncle, will uncle go back to his hometown this year for the New Year?"
Hongbo was also in a good mood: "Well, your uncle grew up in Tiejia Village and hasn't been back to his hometown for many years. This time he retired, so he wants to go back to his hometown." It's the Year of the Monkey.
Awang was overjoyed and asked, "Uncle, when will uncle go back? Can he attend my wedding?" Awang was engaged, and his fiancée was the second daughter of the manager of his shop. The wedding date of the two is set in May of the next year.
If Ning Hai can attend his wedding, it will not only save face, but also benefit him a lot in the future.
Awang didn't want to be a craftsman all his life, he wanted to open a jewelry shop by himself in the future. Of course, that has to be something after graduation.
Hong Bo shook his head and said, "Your uncle will definitely not be able to stay until May next year. As soon as the weather turns warmer, he will return to Beijing." Very likely, he will leave after the new year. '
Awang regretted so much that he would have set the wedding date in the first month if he knew it earlier.
After the brothers went out, Ah Cai said, "Brother, what does Uncle look like?" He had seen Ning Hai once when he was a child, but he had forgotten all about it over the years.
Awang shook his head and said, "I don't remember either. But in my impression, he was tall and imposing."
Hongbo bought a house for each of the two brothers, each with six rooms. Buying on the same street, we can take care of each other when we are close together. However, because the two brothers have not yet married, one house is lived by themselves, and the other house is rented out to supplement the family.
When Caixia saw the two of them, she hurriedly asked, "Brother, Brother, what does uncle want you to do?" After Awang and Acai moved here, they took Caixia over from Hongbo's house. With her here, the two of them will have hot meals and hot dishes when they go home.
Ah Cai said with a smile on his face: "Uncle wrote to say that he wants to celebrate the New Year in Tiejia Village, and Uncle asked us to go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year together."
There was a gleam of light in Caixia's eyes, but it was fleeting, so fast that the two brothers didn't see it.
