Chapter 1953 New Relatives
Even though his stepfather is a piece of meat, he is very capable... In the past two years since the thieves came, the northwest has been in chaos. All the acquaintances who fled with them are dead, but his family has nothing to do with it. Neither.
My little sister is well protected and has never been taken advantage of.
The eldest sister was pregnant, and not only did the fetus settle down, but she also gave birth to little brother Gui safely.
What's even more amazing is that they also raised little brother Gui!
You know, since the invasion of the army, people in the northwest have been in dire straits. Let alone children, even adults have died in batches. It is extremely difficult to feed a little baby and prevent him from dying.
Xiao Chengju knew very well that his Xiao family did not have this kind of ability, and the fact that their family had survived and remained safe was all due to his stepfather.
But the father refused to admit it, saying that he was just a live-in son-in-law who had sex twice, and asked them to show their dignity and live their lives, not to imitate him.
Uncle Qin glanced at him: "Why are you asking like this again? Didn't I tell you before? I just ran away from home because I was afraid of death. I used my face to coax my first wife to become my son-in-law, and I was able to get out of the military." You're a loser, you don't have anything to brag about."
After thinking for a while, he added: "But I have become a home-based son-in-law twice based on my reputation. I am actually quite capable, right?"
What the hell!
The corners of Xiao Chengju's mouth twitched and he said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, you fooled me again. I've already discovered it. You are not an ordinary person."
Seeing that Uncle Qin didn't speak, he added: "Don't worry, Dad, I won't tell anyone... Actually, I don't necessarily want to know. I'm just afraid that you were too capable in the past and made too many enemies, which will bring trouble to the family."
He felt that it was a bastard to say that, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay if it affects the family. We have never seen any troubles. If dad's former enemies really come to visit us, let my cousin take care of it. If my cousin can't withstand it, Yes, let’s run away.”
Their whole family is very good at escaping!
Snapped!
Xiao Chengju received another slap on the back of the head from Uncle Qin.
Uncle Qin said: "What are you thinking about? It's nothing. Just put your heart in my stomach and follow your cousin and sister-in-law. You will benefit from it."
Xiao Chengju: "..."
Lie, I am so smart, I am not the kid I used to be, you still want to lie to me? !
However, smart people are discerning. Seeing that Uncle Qin was not willing to tell, Xiao Chengju stopped asking, but he promised again: "Dad, I won't tell anyone~"
"Tsk, shut up. With this volume, what are you talking about?" Uncle Qin plucked his ears, ignored Xiao Chengju, and left with Brother Xiaogui in his arms.
Xiao Chengju hurriedly caught up and begged: "Dad, please meet my cousin-in-law with me. I want to tell her about exchanging the commission for wine, and I also need to ask her for a post about Chang Liang Wei."
There is no post to prove the origin of the wine, but the wine cannot be sold.
Moreover, my cousin-in-law is very mean, stingy, and more scheming than him. If my father doesn't come along to help me and put in good words, I'm afraid I won't be able to exchange for wine.
But Xiao Chengju thought too much.
After hearing Nanny Yu's report, Gu Jinli waved his hand and said, "Let him change it, as long as he is not afraid of losing money."
He also gave the post stamped with the seal of Chang Liang Wei to Aunt Yu, and told her: "After selling the wine, the post must be taken back. If anyone dares to say that the post is lost, the Xiao family will get out of the guardhouse!"
"Yes." Mother Yu took the post, left the house, went to the tent outside the house to meet Xiao Chengju and others, and said, "Madam agrees."
After that, he gave the post to Xiao Chengju and repeated Gu Jinli's warning.
Xiao Chengju took the post and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I won't lose the post."
Aunt Yu knew that Uncle Qin loved the Xiao family very much, so she reminded him: "But you may lose money."
Ha, Xiao Chengju laughed: "How could it be possible to lose money? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and many wealthy families have to buy wine to worship their ancestors. After the Chinese New Year, there is the Lantern Festival, the second dragon raises its head in February, and the Qingming Festival to worship the ancestors. There are so many wines to use. On days when I’m drinking, I can be clear about my business, I won’t lose money, I’ll make a lot of money!”
Aunt Yu nodded after hearing this: "Young Master Xiao is quite good at doing business."
"Hahaha, just average. I don't deserve grandma's praise. I'm just doing a small business now. When I make a big deal in the future, grandma will praise me again." Xiao Chengju was very happy, but soon he became extremely happy and sad.
Aunt Yu looked at his heart bulging and the cloth bag around his waist was heavy, and asked, "Did Young Master Xiao take the New Year's gift from the Feng family?"
"No!" Xiao Chengju denied: "I thought it was because I was afraid of the cold, so I stuffed a layer of cotton inside."
There's nothing hidden!
Aunt Yu smiled: "Young Master Xiao, my lord and madam dislike people who lie the most. If you are dishonest, my lord and madam will no longer support your business."
Xiao Chengju's heart skipped a beat and he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mom, it's my fault."
He immediately took out the things stuffed in his clothes, untied the cloth bag from his waist, and handed it to Nanny Yu.
Aunt Yu didn't take everything away, but picked out six eggs and gave them to Xiao Chengju: "Madam said, Young Master Xiao and Miss Xiao Second have been a lot more sensible recently, and this is a reward for you."
Xiao Chengju's eyes lit up and he quickly took the egg: "Thank you, mama, thank you, cousin!"
Dad is right, as long as you listen to your cousin and sister-in-law, life will get better and better. Look, I got six eggs this time. Plus the two eggs that mom and Xiaogui brother have prescribed every day, today We can have a good meal at home tonight.
"Okay, hurry up and change the bar, lest your cousin regrets it and your business fails." Uncle Qin hugged Brother Xiaogui, said goodbye to Aunt Yu, and left with Xiao Chengju to find Xiaoji to change. liquor.
The next day, after Xiao Chengju finished training with Yao Baihu and the others, he rode in Grizzly Wei General Tianqi's carriage to sell wine. Because General Tianqi was wearing armor, and Xiao Chengju's wine came from the defense station and was not brewed and sold privately. , so some people dared to buy it and sold it at a good price.
Two kilograms of grain and wine were sold separately for a total of eighteen or six hundred cash. It was a huge profit!
Xiao Chengju was so happy that he promised Tian Zongqi: "Tian Zongqi, you will bring water here from now on, and I will pick you up personally so that you can easily enter the gate of the guardhouse."
Mr. Tian Qi, hehe, you don’t need to come to pick him up, as long as you don’t come out to embarrass us, it will be fine.
When Xiao Chengju went to sell wine, Zhang Zhong also brought the relatives of the newly assigned soldiers back to Changliang Wei.
There were quite a few newly arrived relatives, a total of 126 of them, including the elderly, the weak, women, children, sick and disabled. Each one of them dragged his family and carried a pot on their backs and used insect attractants in the outer tents.
…
Gu Jinli soon learned the news that his relatives were back: "Why are so many people here?"
Daqing said: "Zhang Baihu said that the soldiers assigned this time are soldiers who have been on the battlefield. Half of them are military households, so they have many relatives."
It turned out to be a military household accompanying the army, so it's no wonder.
"Ask Ye Dakou, Qingpu and others to take their pulses, check their bodies, treat the sick, and treat the disabled to prevent their wounds from getting worse." Gu Jinli explained, took the letter from Daqing, opened it and read it .
The letter was written by Brother Qin, saying that Tuogude had launched another sneak attack. They were all hiding in Du Chonggou, and they probably wouldn't be able to come back until the night of New Year's Eve.
Gu Jinli felt a little regretful when he saw this, but this was something he had expected a long time ago... He was confronting the thieves and wanted to have a reunion year, but that was just a dream.
Gu Jinli put away the letter and took the family booklet from Daqing.
The family book is very thick, and details about each family member are written in it. Who is aggressive, who is weak, and who has made any mistakes are all written clearly.
