Chapter 81 Wei Mingting was also promoted

Wei Ruo continued to say to Xu Zhengyong: "Don't worry about the medicine. If you need anything, just write to me and I will prepare it for you."

"Sister Ruo'er, you are so kind to me! Having a sister like you, Xu Zhengyong, makes my whole life worthwhile!" Xu Zhengyong was deeply moved.

"Anyway, the first thing is to ensure your own safety." Wei Ruo warned again.

Brother Xiaoyong sometimes does things impulsively and without regard for the consequences, so she has to nag some.

"Well, Ruo'er, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Xu Zhengyong agreed with a smile.

"By the way, Meimei brought a lot of things for you." Wei Ruo said and pulled Xiumei up.

Xiumei looked a little shy. After hesitating for a moment, she simply stuffed the cloth bag she was carrying into Xu Zhengyong's arms.

"What are you doing? Taking the opportunity to beat me up?" Xu Zhengyong asked.

The strength with which he threw the package was almost as strong as the strength with which others beat him.

"Why beat you and give you good things? Those are supplements to replenish your body." Xiumei explained.

Knowing that the baggage was full of supplements for himself, Xu Zhengyong couldn't help but grin: "Meimei, you are so kind to me! Even if you don't become my junior sister in the future, you can still be my wife!"

"What are you talking about!" Xiumei immediately got angry, raised her fist and hit Xu Zhengyong on him.

Xu Zhengyong ran away quickly. When he ran away, he held the baggage in his arms tightly and was not willing to let go.

"Xu Zhengyong, stop!" Xiumei shouted.

Xu Zhengyong ran very fast, shouting as he ran: "If you don't stop, you will beat me to death! I was not injured on the battlefield. If you paralyze me when I come back, how will I explain to my comrades?"

Wei Ruo and the nanny shook their heads helplessly. They were used to this kind of fight between the two of them. Anyway, nothing would really happen in the end, so they just let them go.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei stayed at the Xu family until dusk. It was too late and they had to leave. They said goodbye to the Xu family and got on the carriage back to the principal's residence.

###

Two days later, good news came from the Wei Mansion.

Xu Zhengyong was promoted from a junior soldier to a deputy and the general affairs were settled.

Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to deliver the medicines she had packed. She originally wanted to prepare more, but it was too late and she was worried that Xu Zhengyong would return to the military camp if she delayed.

At the same time, good news also came from the Wei family, and Wei Mingting was also promoted.

His actual position was promoted from Deputy Qianzong to Qianzong, and at the same time, his virtual position was also promoted from the sixth rank of Colonel Zhongxian to the sixth rank of Colonel Zhaoxin.

For a moment, everyone in the captain's mansion was immersed in cheers.

Wei Mingting has been in the position of Vice President for a long time and has not been promoted for a long time.

A while ago, I was worried about the possibility of being fired or demoted.

Now I am feeling better, the gloom has dissipated, and I am filled with joy.

"Quickly, write a letter to the capital and tell the people in the uncle's house this good news!"

The Yun family arranged for their eldest son, Wei Yichen, to write a letter to Zhongyi Bofu in the capital to report the good news.

Although the people in the capital would definitely know the news before they did, as a junior, they should still write to them to explain the situation in the house.

Then he ordered the family to prepare a celebration banquet for her husband. Of course, this banquet was just for family members to gather together for a meal. Wei Mingting had ordered that there should be no extravagance.

The situation in Xingshan County has not been good recently. The condition of rice in many people's fields is not ideal, and the weather this year feels colder earlier than in previous years. All signs indicate difficulties this year.

Under such a background, it is not advisable to be too extravagant and wasteful.

In the evening, the Wei family gathered together.

Wei Jinyi, who rarely appears in the dining hall, also appeared for the first time today.

Seeing Wei Jinyi, Yun was stunned for a moment.

"Mother." Wei Jin also said hello to Yun.

"Yeah." Yun responded without saying anything.

Thinking carefully about today's special situation, it was reasonable for him to come over to have a meal with her. She was surprised because he hadn't come to the dining hall to have a meal with everyone for a long time, which made her unable to recover for a moment.

Wei Yichen came forward and took the initiative to greet Wei Jinyi: "Second brother, how are you doing lately?"

"Not bad." Wei Jinyi's answer was as indifferent as ever, just like his expression.

"When will my second brother go to Huzhou Prefecture?" Wei Yichen asked again.

"It should still take some time." Wei Jin also said.

"If you need anything, tell me." Wei Yichen said.

Wei Jin also nodded.

Wei Qingwan's eyes were on Wei Ruo. Wei Ruo was wearing a light green satin jacket and skirt today, with her hair in a simple bun. She looked smart and bright.

When her father was promoted, the eldest daughter in the family became more important. Wei Qingwan knew very well that the higher the family was, the more emphasis it placed on ordering the elders and younger ones.

When discussing marriage in the future, the eldest daughter will have the advantage.

Thinking of this, Wei Qingwan couldn't help but look dim.

Wei Ruo didn't pay attention to the other people's expressions. He was standing in the corner of the dining room, but his mind was on other things.

She has a lot of things to worry about recently. In addition to the sweet potatoes in Xiaoyang Mountain in the north of the city, the improvement of wasteland in the south of the city, and the Xie family's medicine fields, Wei Ruo is also planning to use the five hundred taels of silver she has recently saved to buy grain and coal from other places.

Wei Ruo was in a daze when Wei Mingting appeared in the dining room wearing casual clothes.

"Father." Wei Yichen stepped forward to say hello.

"Um."

Wei Mingting responded, and then his eyes fell on Wei Jinyi who was behind Wei Yichen.

"Are you willing to go out and walk around today?"

"Yeah." Wei Jin responded, his voice as calm as ever.

It seems that no matter who is standing opposite him, he always reacts like this.

"That's very good. You should walk around more and not be bored in the yard all the time." Wei Mingting said with a pleased tone.

Then Wei Mingting's eyes fell on Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo.

"Father." Wei Qingwan called out obediently.

Because Wei Ruo was thinking about the problem, his reaction was much slower. When he noticed that Wei Mingting was looking at him, he shouted: "Father."

"Yeah." Wei Mingting responded.

"Everyone, please sit down."

Wei Mingting spoke, and everyone took their seats one after another.

Nowadays, here in Xingshan County, there are fewer rules. If it were in Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion in the capital, based on the ages of the children in the family, men and women should have separate tables.

The large round table is filled with various dishes.

Tonight’s menu is particularly rich: home-cooked yellow croaker, wheat shrimp, salt-roasted pork liver, steamed swimming crab, dumpling tubes, tofu dumplings, boiled chicken...

You can clearly see a lot more seafood.

This is what some fishermen caught after going out to sea after winning the battle. They specially sent the seafood to Xiaowei Mansion to thank Wei Mingting for defeating the Japanese pirates.

Wei Mingting felt happy when he saw it, not only because he had good food in front of him, but also because it meant that the people in the city could resume fishing to make a living. This was a blessing for Xingshan County, a county with extremely poor agriculture.

Big good news.

At this time, Wei Jin also asked Xiaobei to bring in a jar.

"What good things did Jin Yi bring?" Wei Mingting asked curiously.
