The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

From the perspective of the whole country, this war started inexplicably and ended even more inexplicably.

It took less than ten days from the time when Rong Di besieged Dingyuan City, to the false shooting of a shot, to the massing of Ning'an Fucheng, and then to the 100,000-strong army to besiege Pingyang County.

There had never been such a short war since the founding of the Dali Dynasty.

However, it is undoubtedly a good thing for the people who have lived in the north. If the war continues for a year and a half or even several years, it will undoubtedly end with their families and families destroyed.

After the war, news came from Dingyuan City that Marshal Gerile, the commander of Rong Di's southward army, had died inexplicably.

News came from the enemy that he fell off his horse and died, but no one knew exactly what happened.

But the news is probably true, otherwise why would the 100,000-strong army suddenly evacuate when they were about to break through Pingyang County, and then the remaining 100,000-strong army besieging Dingyuan City would also evacuate immediately.

When the news was brought back by Zhao Laoer who was out again, Zhao Yunxi was stunned. Is he so lucky? The enemy commander who was knocked down by his own shot turned out to be the general marshal of Rong Di.

All he wanted at the time was to kill the commander of Rong Di who was besieging Pingyang County, but he didn't expect that it would have such an effect. In this way, the all-round withdrawal of Rong Di's troops was because of him?

I ended the aggressive war of Rong Di south ahead of schedule. Thinking about it, it is really unreal. Is this a cheating of character?

As for whether Rong Di will raise troops to invade again, it is highly likely that he will not happen in a short period of time, because the general marshal is dead, or he died inexplicably.

For the Rongdi tribe who believed in the mountain god, this was God's punishment. In addition, the death of the generalissimo was a big blow to many Rongdi tribes. Whether they would have the confidence to go south in a short time was still a question.

The old Zhao family hid in the cave for several days and finally saw the light of day again. Everyone returned to Sha Tin Village with post-war joy.

However, when everyone saw the ruins of Shatin Village, they still showed sad expressions, especially Lao Zhaotou and his eldest brother. After all, the two old men are the oldest in Lao Zhao's family and have lived in Shatin Village for decades. Full of affection for the place where generations have lived.

Zhao Yunxi didn't think anything of it. If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come. But until the new house is built, everyone can only build a shed to live in.

Why not continue to live in the cave?

Because other villagers will return one after another after the war, Zhao Yunxi currently has no plans to reveal the secret of the cave, and plans to use the cave as a nearby refuge for the old Zhao family. Who can guarantee what will happen in the future?

Everyone moved their daily necessities from the cave back to Shatian Village, cleared a vacant space next to the old Zhao's home, and then set up a simple shed. Fortunately the weather is not too cold now.

Wang Junyao and his mother Cui couldn't wait to return to the county town after everyone moved out of the cave. Zhao Yunqin harnessed an ox and escorted the mother and daughter back to the county town.

Looking at the old Zhao family that was burned to rubble in front of him, Zhao Yunxi actually didn't feel much sadness because he had originally planned to build a new house in the mountainous area to the north of the village.

However, although the drawings of the house have been drawn a long time ago, there is only land and no construction team. The entire area around Fucheng has been deserted to avoid the war.

We have to wait until all these people come back. Although we can find the construction team further south, the distance is too far and we are not familiar with it, and the price should be much more expensive.

While Zhao Yunxi and the others waited for several days, people who had escaped from the war also came back one after another. When the villagers of Sha Tin Village returned to Sha Tin Village, they all burst into tears when they saw the completely changed Sha Tin Village. For people of their time, this was the root.

Zhao Yunxi and other construction teams also returned, and the old Zhao family began preparations for building a new house.

All the materials were outsourced to the construction team, and then the old Zhao family and the great grandfather's family waited with peace of mind.

During the construction of the house, someone came from the county, and it was still Wu Feng, but Wu Feng now had a scar on his face that stretched diagonally from his forehead to his face.

This was left behind during the battle to defend the city of Pingyang County. Originally, Wu Feng only belonged to the Wang County Magistrate, and even those who belonged to the county government only served as a transport team.

However, because Wu Feng was very skilled in martial arts, he took the initiative to join the city wall as a guard sergeant.

However, no matter how high the martial arts is, it is only a body of flesh and blood. In such a fierce battle, injuries are inevitable. Now this is a good life, which is much better than those soldiers who died in the battle and were disabled.

Wu Feng came to Shatian Village under the entrustment of Magistrate Wang, who asked Wu Feng to bring the silver allocated by the county for the reconstruction of the destroyed village.

Each household has fifty taels of disaster relief funds, which is good. Fortunately for the old Zhao family, there is enough money left to build a house. This fifty taels of silver can only be said to be the icing on the cake for the old Zhao family. .

But for Zhao Yunxi's grandfather's house, it was different. They originally had less money to build a house. Zhao Youde originally planned to borrow fifty taels from his third uncle's family, but now he doesn't need it. The fifty taels sent by the county are just enough.

For Zhao Youde's family, it is not the icing on the cake, but a timely help.

The three-entry courtyard of Lao Zhao's family is under construction in full swing. Although the house of Zhao Youde's family is smaller than that of Lao Zhao's family, it is also very beautiful designed by Zhao Yunxi.

Zhao Yunxi's grandfather would check on the construction progress of his house every day when he had nothing to do. He would always come back smiling and seemed to be in a very good mood.

In fact, for the elderly at their age, the house does not need to be so beautiful, and it is enough to live in it. They have lived in the old house all their lives.

But people have to think about their children and grandchildren. Who doesn’t want their children and grandchildren to live in a big and beautiful house?

The reconstruction of Shatian Village is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Because of the disaster relief money from the county, the villagers are not so sad. On the contrary, they are a little happy.

Because the houses of ordinary villagers are not worth much, let alone fifty taels, even thirty taels may not be worth it. This is equivalent to making twenty or thirty taels of silver in vain.

However, the court and even the county had multiple considerations, because the people who fled suffered more or less losses due to the war. Let's not talk about the house, let's just say that there may be very little food left. In addition to the food for the refugees, some of it was lost during the escape or was robbed by others.

Therefore, these fifty taels of silver are not only used for the villagers to rebuild their houses, but also to survive until next year's autumn harvest when they have food.

But for farmers, twenty or thirty taels of silver is more than enough to get through a year.

While the house was being built, Zhao Yunxi didn't want to be idle. He planned to go to the county seat to find Wang Junyao and then go to the city to have a look. The previously planned store was affected by the war before it even opened. Now he needs to start doing this.
