Winter came unexpectedly, and when the first snow fell, the border war was tense.

As a general, Meng Zhixu naturally had the duty to go to the border, and Bai Zhaomei, who also had the ambition of being a general, also followed Meng Zhixu to the border.

This is earlier than the original planned date to go to the border.

The Bai family has been very busy.

Fortunately, Xie Chuntao and Qiuniang had already sewed the winter clothes as early as autumn.

But Bai Zhaomei has drawn too fast in the past six months, as if she has grown taller overnight.

The good jacket is half shortened on the body.

So the old lady Bai and Zhen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took Xie Chuntao and You Jingui to sew again overnight. Zhen's needlework said that Xie Chuntao sewed clothes quickly, and Youjingui was rough in needlework and spun thread to help.

In the embroidery workshop, with the help of You Hongye, Qiuniang made thick knee-pad gloves and a furry hat for Bai Zhaomei.

Zhen was worried that the border would be too cold, so the thick cotton in the padded jacket and trousers seemed insufficient.

"It's still too thin." Mrs. Zhen shook her head slightly as she watched Bai Zhaomei try on the padded jacket and trousers.

"It's not thin, it's stuffed with a lot of cotton, and the fifth brother's head is sweating." You Jingui said from the side.

Where is it thin, the grandma and grandma wanted to stuff all the cotton in the house, not only that, but also used all the warm fabrics in the shops in the town.

The old lady Bai gave You Jingui a sideways look, and You Jingui fell silent in shock.

"Mother, the second sister-in-law is right, very thick."

Bai Zhaomei was not at all nervous about going to the border ahead of schedule, but was very excited.

At this time, according to the requirements of old lady Bai and Mrs. Zhen, he was wearing the thickest padded jacket and trousers, heavy cotton shoes on his feet, thick gloves and a hat, and walked around the yard to show off.

There was thick snow in the yard, and Mrs. Zhen deliberately did not let it be swept, and asked Bai Dazhuang to bring in the snow from outside to create a knee-high snow road, just to simulate a knee-high snow-covered scene for Bai Zhaomei.

Then let Bai Zhaomei walk in the snow in a cotton coat to feel it.

Because the cotton coat was too heavy, it was very difficult for Bai Zhaomei to walk step by step, and she soon broke out in sweat, wishing to tear off the heavy cotton coat.

"What do you know, the border is no better than home, dripping water turns into ice, the wind is so strong, and the snow is so heavy, even the biggest snowstorm on our side can't compare." Zhen said.

"Mother has never been to the border." Bai Zhaomei said with a smile, "I asked the soldiers around General Meng, and they said they could bear it, and they were still drinking against the moon in the snow."

Zhen shook her head lightly.

She has never been to the border, but she heard from her grandfather.

The strong wind from the tuyere can tear apart houses, the snow is as big as a mat and can bury no one, and a pot of boiling water will freeze into ice in mid-air.

Her grandfather's rheumatism fell during those years at the border, and even though there were fiery earth dragons in the capital, he still felt cold all over in winter.

She didn't want Bai Zhaomei to be frozen at the border.

As for General Meng's personal soldiers, they were young and hadn't reached the point of feeling cold yet.

Besides, these guards all have fox fur, which is naturally more cold-resistant than cotton-padded clothes.

"I don't think this is enough." Zhen said worriedly. It was the first time for her youngest son to go to the border, and he didn't know if he would adapt in the first year.

When Bai Zhaomei heard her mother say that it wasn't enough, she put on a bitter face and said to Xiao Fuyuan who was standing beside her, "Sister, you are smart, tell me if the border is not that cold."

Xiao Fuyuan tilted her head, she really didn't know, she had never been there.

But it must be very cold!

After all, the heating equipment in this era can only burn the kang.

"Fifth brother should listen to mother and wear thicker clothes." Xiao Fuyuan said.

She didn't want Fifth Brother to get frostbite at the border.

Zhen Shi nodded and said, "Your sister has already said it."

Xiao Fuyuan looked at Zhen's sad face, and remembered the phrase "Before I leave, I am afraid that I will return later", every stitch and thread on Bai Zhaomei's body is Zhen's reluctance and sustenance.

This Fifth Brother, what he wears is not only a cotton padded jacket, but also the painstaking efforts of his mother.

Nature cannot be disobedient.

Bai Zhaomei stepped in the snow and said, "Mother, it's thick enough.Look at me, I can't even walk.Dressed like this, how to go to battle and kill the enemy. "

In a word, everyone in Lao Bai's family fell silent.

Bai Zhaomei's going to the border is not for fun or for soy sauce, but to actually obey military orders, go to battle to kill the enemy, and participate in the war.

In war there is the possibility of bloodshed and even death.

This is a question that the old Bai family has been avoiding since Bai Zhaomei decided to go to the border.

Whenever it comes to Bai Zhaomei going to the border, starting from the old lady Bai, she always encourages Bai Zhaomei, encourages him to be brave, encourages him to be a general in the future, and encourages him to make contributions to support his sister in the future.

Even the villagers asked Bai Zhaomei to go to the border this time, and Bai Muban smiled and said, boys are naturally going to the army, anyway, he has many sons.

All shied away from possible injuries and deaths.

Bai Zhaomei's words made the Bai family deeply aware of the life and death problem Bai Zhaomei would face.

Zhen's nose became sore on the spot.

The eye circles of old lady Bai, Xie Chuntao and Tian Maimiao turned red.

Bai Zhaomei is only so old, even if she is engaged, she is still a half-grown child, and she is about to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"...Why don't you tell General Meng, fifth brother is too young, wait two years before going to the border." Bai Dazhuang said suddenly.

Bai Muban reprimanded with a straight face: "What nonsense, what are you doing in the army? The fifth child is now a soldier of General Meng. If he doesn't go now, he is violating the military order. Do you know how serious the violation of the military order is?"

Bai Muban is reluctant to part with his son, but he still clearly understands that military orders cannot be violated.

"Talk to Ah Zhen..." Bai Erzhuang said.

"Shut up, don't cause trouble for that child, your fifth brother will have to go through this sooner or later, otherwise he will just farm at home from now on, and never want to be a general." After Bai Muban scolded the eldest son, he scolded the second son.

Bai Dazhuang and Bai Erzhuang both shut up, knowing that what their father said could not be more correct.

Bai Zhaomei didn't expect a word to touch the hearts of her family. He was excited this time and wanted to fly to the border immediately. When he heard that his elder brother and second brother didn't want him to go to the border, he said anxiously: "What are you worried about? Didn't my sister say that I will be fine at the border."

Lifted my sister out again.

Sure enough, Xiao Fuyuan's name is easy to use.

The old lady Bai was the first to say: "Yes, yes, the granddaughter said that the fifth child is fine, and the fifth child is fine. I still hope that Lao Wang will be a general and lead me through the streets on a tall horse."

With a few words, Zhen Shi and the others were able to stop their tears.

Xiao Fuyuan acted as a koi again at the right time, and said crisply: "Fifth brother will be fine, fifth brother will be a general, grandma can see that fifth brother will be a general."

She originally wanted to comfort her family by saying that Brother Wu would not be injured, but it was better not to set up a banner, how could she not be injured when joining the army.

Which general is not injured?
Bai Zhaomei cast a grateful glance at her younger sister and said, "Elder brother and second brother, my younger sister has already said so. Don't be a hindrance to my general's path."

Bai Dazhuang and Bai Erzhuang came to the snow together, one pulled the collar, the other stuffed the snow inside, and said: "My boy, you are disrespectful to your brother before you become a general."

Bai Zhaomei hid and begged for mercy: "Big brother and second brother, I dare not, cool, cool."

Dalang Saburo also walked over to help his father deal with Fifth Uncle, and even Xiao Lang took a handful of snow and threw it on Fifth Uncle hobbled.
