prosperous age

Chapter 9 9 are back
Today, the children in the private school are very much looking forward to the time passing faster so that they can go home early.

When school was finally over, Wei Guangde and a few children ran out with their schoolbags on their backs without looking back, unwilling to stay in the private school for a moment.

To be honest, Mr. Sun was very disappointed by the performance of these children. I felt that these children did not put their hearts on their studies at all.

Most of the scholars in this era are still adhering to the principle of "keep your ears off the outside world, and only read the books of sages". Therefore, Mr. Sun really doesn't know what happened in recent days, but he just thinks that the children from military households are a little active today. , It seems that something happy happened.

And Wei Guangde and others rushed out of the private school in a hurry, and quickly ran out of the town. By this time, they were a little tired, and gradually slowed down their pace, trotting all the way and continuing to rush home.

Not far from the town, we entered the Tuntian area of ​​the military fort. In the deserted fields a few days ago, there appeared a few farmers who were working.

Seeing this scene, Wei Guangde and others quickly recognized that the ones in the field were the soldiers in the guard house?
They followed the expedition, and now they are all in the fields, which must mean that they have all returned.

The common people of the Ming Dynasty were very simple in the middle period. In fact, even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were still hard-working and hardworking. As long as they had something to eat, suffering a little was nothing to them.

These soldiers should have just come back today. Wei Guangde really couldn't guess whether it was noon or afternoon. He didn't see anyone on the way to the private school in the morning.

But just like that, after going out for several days, no one said to rest for a few days when they got home, they just put down their things and went to work in the fields.

After all, the whole team left in a hurry, and many people didn't clean up the work in the fields.

Seeing a few children running over, all the men in the field waved to them. The fort is such a big place and there are so few people, no one knows anyone.

After inquiring, I found out that they arrived home after noon. They got off the boat at Pengze Wharf last night. Because it was too late, they didn't come back overnight. They set off after resting for a night.

Waved his hands, Wei Guangde and the others continued to trot towards the military fort, and soon saw the military fort, and the two sentinel boats on the river in the distance that had been docked for many days were also cruising on the river, and there were more fish to eat tonight .

After entering the gate of the fort, the friends bid farewell and went home. They were in a good mood today. When the soldiers at the gate of the mansion greeted him, Wei Guangde responded with a smile.

As soon as he ran into the house, there were already many people in the front yard, sweeping away the deserted environment before.

Outside the lobby, Wei Guangde heard Father Wei's voice.

". Warehouse, that's good. Everyone has been away for a few days. See if there is no other work on hand. Let's leave first and go back to rest for a few days."

"Thank you sir."

Wei Guangde could also hear the voices of other people in the lobby. Although it was a little noisy, he could still tell that it was the voices of several general flags and small flags in the fort.

Sure enough, after standing outside the door for a moment, he saw Zhang Dayong and other officers coming out of the lobby, and seeing Wei Guangde standing outside the door, they laughed and teased him before leaving.

A few of them left in a hurry, seeing that Wei Guangde was here, they knew that their kid must be back.

In this age, home is very important, and family is even more important.

They have been away for a few days, and these seemingly rough soldiers are actually quite homesick.

It's just that when I came back this time, I also brought back a lot of luggage, so I first asked people to move the things into the warehouse, and arranged other things in the guard. Otherwise, there will be no fish to eat tonight.

As for those little soldiers, those who were not arranged naturally went to work in their own fields, that is, those people Wei Guangde and the others met when they came back.

For the little soldiers, they didn't expect much food and salaries from the higher-ups every year. They had to rely on their own hands to eat food from the fields.

For the soldiers in the Bengshan Fort, it would be nice to meet a good official like Wei Baihu. After working for a year, at least they can still have something to eat. Although they can't eat enough, they can't starve to death.

At the end of the year, you can still see a little salary for the New Year.

It is also because the guards are stationed in a good location. Facing the Yangtze River, they can get some fish from time to time, which is much better than the guards in other places.

In fact, the garrison area of ​​the entire Jiujiang Guard is in a good position.

Since it is called Jiujiang, the density of rivers here is naturally relatively high, and rivers can always be seen around the guard.

It's just that those who rely on the small river are not assigned to fishing boats. No, they should be said to be sentry boats, which are used for patrolling the river. They are military equipment.

Those guards that rely on the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake will always assign a few boats to go fishing while patrolling the river. Naturally, life is much easier than other guards.

Seeing the people leaving, Wei Guangde entered the lobby, looked at his father sitting behind the table in the lobby, and called out kindly, "Father, you are back."

Although it was nonsense, Wei Guangde felt that this should be done at this time, as a son to express his missing for his father.

"came back."

Wei Meng looked at the youngest son who entered the door with a smile on his face.

"Father hasn't been here for a few days, did you listen to your mother and brother?"

Wei Guangde naturally nodded his head like a chick pecking rice at Father Wei's question, although he really wanted to ask how his father and the others spent the past few days, but it seems that now is not the time.

In the lobby at this time, besides their father and son, Wei Wencai was also standing next to his father. After listening to their conversation, he interjected: "A few days ago, after you left, this kid hasn't practiced calligraphy at home. Ha ha"

Is it really okay to make small reports in front of others?
When Wei Guangde heard his elder brother mentioning this matter, he naturally couldn't hold back.

"However, didn't you see Dad and your fleet come back yesterday? This kid just felt relieved and practiced for a while after dinner."

After laughing, Wei Wencai continued.

"You're worried."

Father Wei stroked his beard and said.

It seems that people in the Ming Dynasty like to grow beards, my father is like this, and so is Mrs. Sun in the private school.

Seeing Father Wei's movements, Wei Guangde reached out and touched his bare chin unconsciously.

"When I came back, I saw that everything was fine at home, and my father felt relieved. By the way, you can go and see if the boat has returned, and ask them to take care of it. Today, every family in the fort has to share some. They have been tired outside for a few days. It's frightening."

Father Wei was very considerate of the soldiers in the fort, and arranged for sailors to go fishing when he came back, maybe this is also a habit.

It is said that relying on the mountains to eat mountains depends on the water to drink water, and relying on the edge of the Yangtze River, so I naturally think about that.

Wei Wencai agreed and turned around to leave. Wei Guangde also jumped to the side of the case and asked about Wei's experience in the past few days.
