Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Shenshu Village.

It’s the end of the New Year, and every household is preparing for the New Year.

In previous years, Shenshu Village would have been bustling with activity during the twelfth lunar month, with shopping for new year’s goods, going to markets and temple fairs.

But this year it seems a bit deserted.

Because Bai Dazhuang and others who went to the border to transport food have not returned yet.

Basically, people from every household in Shenshu Village followed Bai Dazhuang to the border, and asked the Bai family every day when their son/husband would be back.

When people don't come back, they are always worried about something happening to them at the border.

"Coming back soon."

"It's sure to be fine."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be back before the end of the year."

Mrs. Bai and others answered the same thing every day.

Counting the days, it was time to come back, but there was no one waiting, and the Bai family became anxious.

"Xiao Yuanbao, will your brother and the others be okay?" Mrs. Bai asked Xiao Fuyuan in private, worriedly.

"Brother, they will be fine for sure." Xiao Fuyuan said with certainty.

"Then can they still go home for the New Year?" Mrs. Bai continued to ask.

Xiao Fuyuan stopped talking.

She didn't know whether her eldest brother and the others could go home for the New Year. She could only guarantee the safety of her eldest brother and his party.

Old Mrs. Bai was so shocked that she couldn't ask any more questions.

Yes, most likely my grandson will not be able to come back before the end of the year.

How should I tell the villagers this news? Wouldn't everyone be shocked?

You must know that reunion during the New Year is a top priority for people in this land.

After a year of hard work, I look forward to having a good year together as a family.

Not to mention other people, as far as Old Mrs. Bai is concerned, her grandson can't go home to celebrate the New Year. She feels bad and always feels it is a pity.

Mrs. Bai confided her feelings to Madam Zhen in private.

Mrs. Zhen is also worried about Bai Dazhuang and his party. She is not concerned about whether they can return home smoothly before the year.

She is worried that the war on the border will involve Bai Dazhuang and others.

After all, Mrs. Zhen grew up in Houmen in the capital. Even though she has been a peasant woman in Shenshu Village for 30 years, she can still keenly feel the changes in the current situation through some small things.

For example, Bai Dazhuang and others have not returned home for a long time. She has a premonition that a big war will break out on the border and block the way for Bai Dazhuang and others to return home.

The closer the year gets, the firmer Zhen's views on things become.

She was very worried and only confided her speculation to Bai Banban, but she did not dare to reveal it to Mrs. Bai, Xie Chuntao and others, for fear that they would be too worried.

Fortunately, Bai Sanzhuang, the third oldest member of the Bai family, returned from Nanyang smoothly.

This news not only excited the Bai family, but also other families in the village.

After all, many men in the village work as waiters on Bai Sanzhuang's boat, and everyone is very happy to be able to return before the year.

Firstly, I earned money, and secondly, I could have a reunion during the Spring Festival.

Their successful return home washed away the worries of Bai Dazhuang and others not coming back.

Bai Sanzhuang's trip to Nanyang this time was no different than his first. He was very familiar with the routes in Nanyang, and his interactions with the local islanders were smoother. This trip was unexpectedly smooth.

Naturally, I came back with a lot of money.

After returning from this trip, Bai Dazhuang felt that Huaicheng was still too small. He planned to expand his business territory to the capital next spring.

"...Third brother is home. Erlang will go home for vacation soon. Fourth brother has arrived in the capital. It would be great if the eldest brother, second brother and fifth brother could go home." Xiao Fuyuan was held in Bai Sanzhuang's arms and said goodbye. He said while pointing his fingers.

But when will the eldest brother, the second brother and the fifth brother come back?She dreamed again last night, dreaming of fire and blood, neighing horses, and falling snow...

After being awakened from the dream, she prayed that her eldest brother, second brother, fifth brother and others would be safe.

"Seeing that the New Year is approaching and your eldest brother and the others haven't come back yet, I plan to go to Mr. Liu in Huaicheng tomorrow to inquire about whether there is a war on the border."

The third son returned home smoothly with a large sum of money, and Bai Banban was in a good mood.

He remembered Zhen's private analysis of the border situation in the past few days, and he had always wanted to go to Huaicheng to inquire about the situation.Considering that there was no adult male at home, he was worried about leaving a family of children at home, so he did not go.

Now that the third son is back, and there is an adult man at home, he plans to go to Huaicheng.

In addition to asking about the situation at the border, I mainly buy jewelry for my daughter, daughter-in-law and my mother.

It’s the Chinese New Year, so it’s time to dress up.

Especially the gold necklace around my daughter’s neck needs to be fried.

Although the daughter has no shortage of jewelry, even the largest jade pavilion in Huaicheng belongs to her.But Bai Ban decided to buy a few sets for his daughter. Doesn't that represent his feelings?

The next day it snowed again.

As soon as the white wooden board was tied to the car, Village Chief Zhao came running.

"...It's not good, it's not good." Village Chief Zhao successfully attracted the whole village with one voice.

What kind of bad news could make Village Chief Zhao shout in panic?

"What's wrong, uncle village chief?" Xiao Fuyuan asked standing at the door.

"It's terrible, there's a war! There's a war!" Village Chief Zhao exclaimed.

fight?

The memory of the war in Shenshu Village only exists in the memories of the older generation. At that time, the treacherous ministers and the unkind Emperor Zuo led to chaos in the world, and the armies of King Qin from all walks of life swept northward.

War smoke is billowing all over the country. Due to geographical reasons, the Nanguan Mountain area is relatively good and has not been greatly affected.

Later, King Jing came to Dabao and worked hard to govern and promote rest and recuperation. The world has always been peaceful.

So when Village Chief Zhao said there was a war, no one reacted for a moment.

"We're not fighting here, it's the border, the border." Village Chief Zhao hurriedly explained.

Village Chief Zhao saw that Bai Dazhuang and his party were still not coming back, so he went to the county town yesterday to inquire about the situation.
He spent a day inquiring around the county town with no results, so he simply stayed in a hotel.

In the hotel, I met several businessmen who had fled from the border. They said that the third prince of the Rong Kingdom had been captured. The Rong Kingdom mobilized a nationwide war. Half a month ago, a hundred thousand troops were gathered at the gate of Ningcheng. There were 20 soldiers behind at any time. .

Village Chief Zhao was so frightened that he didn't even bother to eat breakfast and drove his donkey cart to the village to report the news.

Why Village Chief Zhao is so scared? Of course, his son and grandson are transporting grain in Ningcheng.

"What? The Rong Kingdom went to war with us?" The silly boy's mother slapped her thigh and was about to cry for her son.

Other people whose sons are at the border are not in a good mood either.

War kills people, what if they are captured and taken to the battlefield?
Xie Chuntao stood at the door with her youngest son in her arms, so frightened that she almost lost her balance.

Mrs. Zhen helped Old Mrs. Bai, and as expected, the war really started.

"That Da Zhuang and the others haven't come back yet, and they are probably already on the battlefield." Liu Fugui's mother said, thinking of her son Liu Fugui, she cried, "He is the only one of the three generations of my family, and Fugui hasn't said anything about his wife yet. If this...were swords and guns blind, it would be unlucky to hit someone."

I'm afraid that the people transporting food from Shenshu Village have already gone to the battlefield.

I don't know if it's dead or alive.

Since people will die in war, why are the people in Shenshu Village so lucky to be invulnerable?
"Xiao Yuanbao, please tell me, is your brother Sledgehammer safe now?" The village chief's wife screamed and grabbed Xiao Fuyuan's hand.

Seeing this, everyone gathered around Xiao Fuyuan.

"Xiao Yuanbao, is your Fugui brother still fine?"

"Xiao Yuanbao, how is your eldest nephew Chaojing?"

"Sister, my sixth sister, your sister Qingya, are you safe?" (End of Chapter)
