As the New Year approaches, it snows on the Chengdu Plain.

The white snow covered everything, and on this land that was often covered by clouds, the heavy snow that fell was like a soft white blanket. On the eve of the New Year's Eve, Zhuo Yongqing took leave of absence and returned to the mountain. After passing through Jiading, he prepared to prepare for

The sisters He Ying and He Xiu, whose father was killed by Chinese army soldiers, sent some food.

In November, the situation in Chengdu Plain had stabilized. Zhuo Yongqing often traveled between the two places and visited several times. At first, his aggressive sister He Ying always tried to drive him out, so Zhuo Yongqing took him there.

He threw something over the wall. Later, the two parties got to know each other. He Ying did not chase people away, but his words were cold and hard. The other party did not understand why the Chinese army kept coming, and Zhuo Yongqing did not explain clearly.

This time when he came to the door, the situation became strange. When He Ying saw it was him, he slammed the door. Zhuo Yongqing originally put the bag with food behind him, wanted to say a few words to ease the embarrassment, and then offered the things

, I was quite confused at this time. After a while, I heard a voice coming from inside.

"Go away. Shameless thing..."

"What……"

"Let's go! Shameless!"

Perhaps because he didn't want to be watched by too many people, He Ying in the door suppressed his voice, but his tone was extremely disgusting. Zhuo Yongqing frowned: "What... what's so shameless, you... what's going on...

…”

"Go away! Go away! My whole family would rather die than be insulted by your Chinese army! Shameless!"

Zhuo Yongqing took two steps back, looked at the yard, turned around and left.

He was not a stupid young man, so he could naturally understand that He Ying's anger towards the Huaxia Army at first was because of his father's death, but now this time, it was obviously caused by something, and the matter was very serious.

Maybe he had something to do with me. So he went all the way to the Jiading Yamen to find the household registration officer who was in charge of the He family. The other person was a veteran who retired from the army. His name was Dai Yong, and he actually knew Zhuo Yongqing. The face of Dai Yong

He was scarred and his eyes were narrowed. It was quite embarrassing to talk about it.

Today's administrative officials in the Chinese army do not have very rich reserves. Even if they have a certain scale, when Liangshan had 200,000 people and spread it over the entire Chengdu Plain, many people would definitely be able to make do with it. Ning Yi trained a group of people to be generals.

The main axis of regional government has been structured, and many

The local government still uses the wounded soldiers from the beginning, and although the veterans are loyal and reliable and have learned for a while, they are not familiar with the actual local conditions after all, and they have to work with some local personnel. Working with Dai Yong at least serves as a staff officer.

She is a local middle-aged woman.

This woman had also worked as a matchmaker, so she had a wide network of contacts and was the most familiar with the local situation. After He Ying and He Xiu's father passed away, the Huaxia Army punished a large number of officers who were jointly and severally responsible from top to bottom in order to give an explanation.

At first

The so-called leniency and severity means that the responsibility is increased and distributed to everyone. As for the company commander who committed the crime, he does not have to shoulder all the problems alone, resign, go to jail, or temporarily stay in the military to serve his crime.

It can be regarded as leaving a hole.

After such serious treatment, a good explanation was given to the public. In addition, the Huaxia Army did not cause too many disturbances to the people in other aspects, and the Huaxia Army quickly gained some recognition in Jiading people. Under such circumstances

Seeing that Zhuo Yongqing often came to He's house, Dai Yong's partner got smart and wanted to come to the house to talk matchmaking, so as to achieve a good thing and resolve a grudge.

In the eyes of the other party, Zhuo Yongqing is the great hero who killed Yan Lou's family. He has a good character and is considered a first-class talent everywhere. He Ying of the He family has a fierce temperament and is not bad in appearance.

, it was considered as a way to outdo each other. After the woman came to the door, she knocked around, and after a few words, He Ying heard the implication of the words, and was so angry that he almost found a kitchen knife and chopped the person out.

The woman didn't say anything before, but was prepared to inquire about He Ying's intentions, so she came to Zhuo Yongqing to report her fault. She may have had the idea of ​​flattering her in her heart. Now she messed up the matter and didn't dare to say more, so Zhuo Yongqing

Qing's awkward moment at the door of the other party's house.

"This, this, this..." Zhuo Yongqing blushed, "Why are you doing such stupid things..."

"Well, yes, yes." Dai Yong touched his nose, "Actually, I also think this woman is too shameless. She didn't tell me beforehand. In fact... no matter what, her father died in our hands, and she wants to be with her again."

I also find it difficult to sleep with her. However, Brother Zhuo, if we put it all together, I think it is not completely impossible...I am not saying that you are bullying others, you have to be sincere..."

"What a mess, I didn't want to sleep... I wanted to marry her..." Zhuo Yongqing blinked nervously, "Hey, that's not what I said..."

"Uh..." Dai Yong thought for a while, "The Wang family's sister-in-law's work... is not very reliable. However, Brother Zhuo is also this kind of person. He knows the local area very well and has solutions for many things. I can't do it because of this."

Things will drive her away...or I call her over and you scold her..."

"I, you..." Zhuo Yongqing backed away with a confused look on his face, then waved and left, "Why did I scold her? I'm too lazy to care about you..."

"Hey, otherwise I will accompany you to your door to apologize..."

"Stop coming and stop causing trouble for me!"

Zhuo Yongqing turned back and pointed at him, then walked away depressed.

Walking around the city all the way.

This matter is quite tangled for him, but the matter itself is not big, at least compared to his usual military affairs. How big can a personal matter be? He calculated the time of coming out this time, at most

He was leaving tomorrow morning. Seeing that there was a misunderstanding, should he simply save some time and go back to Liangshan, or should he continue to waste time here? After going around like this for a few times, the style of the army took over. Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet, he went back to

Went to the He family.

After knocking on the door for a while, someone clearly looked out from the crack of the courtyard door, and then he tightened the door bolt tighter. He Ying was angrily silent inside, Zhuo Yongqing took a deep breath, and then paused.

Take another deep breath.

"He Ying, I know you are inside."

"roll……"

"Then about the sister-in-law named Wang, I have nothing to say. I don't know at all. Hey, I said you are smart, why are you so stupid here? Then what... I don't know, can't you see this?

.”

"roll!"

"Of course, I have caused you trouble, and I apologize to you. The Chinese New Year is about to come, and every household eats meat and puts happy words on it and you sit next to it? You sit next to your mother and your sister next to you? I just mean it out of kindness, Hua... ...The Chinese Army is kind enough to send you something, what are you thinking about..."

"Go away. What you brought was not sent by the Chinese Army at all. They sent it before..."

"Sent away... You are different. Our Mr. Ning privately asked me to take care of you, Mr. Ning..."

"fraud!"

"What a liar... You, you just listened to that Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang... no matter what Aunt Wang and Aunt Wang said, right?"

"You beasts, you want to kill my father..." The voice inside was already choked with sobs.

"I didn't think about it. What are you thinking about...Okay, you have to listen to the truth, right? The Huaxia Army is sorry for you. Mr. Ning also told me in private, and it's all the truth! Yes, I also have a good impression of you. ...Not to you! I want to fall in love with your sister He Xiu, and I want to marry He Xiu. You always feel insulted, right? You..."

There was a clang in the yard. Someone broke a jar. After a while, someone fell down. He Ying shouted: "Xiu..." and ran over. Zhuo Yongqing knocked on the door twice. At this time, he also He couldn't care too much anymore and used his strength to climb over the wall. The lame girl He Xiu had fallen to the ground, her face almost turned dark red. Zhuo Yongqing ran over: "I'll come..." He wanted to save, but He Xiu was stopped by He Xiu. Yingyi pushed away: "What are you doing!"

"I...I know what to do, she...she is just a little frightened...you..." Zhuo Yongqing wanted to go over, but then controlled himself, and danced and commanded He Ying. He Ying helped his sister up, and talked with that The mother, who was always timid and silent, ran out in panic and carried the girl into the room.

The whole thing was not too big. After a while, He Xiu woke up and turned around. After taking a few breaths on the bed, he looked up and saw Zhuo Yongqing at the door of the room. He was so frightened that he lowered his head and curled up into a ball. Zhuo Yong Qing went outside in embarrassment, wondering what was going on. Just as he was sighing, He Ying and He Xiu's mother walked over quietly: "That..."

"Ah...aunt...you...good..."

"Young man of the Zhuo family, what you said... what you said, is it true..."

"...Uh..." Zhuo Yongqing touched his head.

He Ying came over from behind, holding a pottery bowl in his hand, and spoke in a very low voice: "You... you are satisfied, my He family, my He family didn't do anything bad, but you talked nonsense and humiliated my sister... you... …”

"What I said is true..."

"you……"

"I said what I said is true!" Zhuo Yongqing glared over seriously, "I, I ran over again and again just to see He Xiu. Although she didn't talk to me, I didn't mean that she had to How about it, I don’t mean any harm...She, she is like my former savior..."

Hearing what Zhuo Yongqing said, He Ying was speechless. Zhuo Yongqing said: "I, I haven't thought about anything else, and you shouldn't think that I am deliberately trying to humiliate your family. Let me just look at her...that woman named Wang is so smart."

As he said this, he walked out of the yard, brought in a bag of new year's goods, then looked at the situation in the yard, and went over to clean up the broken clay pots under the eaves. This kind of cleaning should be done by women.

He Ying hesitated several times and did not come to intervene. He just asked hesitantly: "What you said...is true?"

"Believe it or not."

After finishing his work, Zhuo Yongqing left the courtyard. When he opened the courtyard door, He Ying seemed to have made up his mind and ran over again: "You, wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Zhuo Yongqing turned around.

"Are you telling the truth? You want to...marry my sister..."

"Don't worry, I don't intend to embarrass your family..."

"If you like He Xiu, give me your horoscope, and I will find someone to marry you."

"Well……"

He Ying in the yard looked at him with stubborn eyes. Zhuo Yongqing was stunned and confused.

On the way back to the mountains after leaving Jiading, he thought, what's going on...

*****************

Zhuo Yongqing and the He sisters had an inexplicable close fight at this age. Ning Yi's family spent their time in a small village twenty miles south of Jiading. From a security perspective, cities such as Chengdu and Jiading were too

It’s too complicated. The population is large and the business is not yet stable. If trade is completely liberalized, the number of Green Foresters and assassins will increase on a large scale. Ning Yi finally selected a deserted village south of Jiading as the temporary base for the core of the Chinese army.

place of residence.

With the heavy snowfall, the situation in the southwest has solidified. The temporary task of the Chinese Army is only the orderly relocation and transfer of various departments. Of course, Ning Yi and others still have to go back to Hedeng to spend the New Year's Eve of this year.

In contrast to the temporary tranquility in the southwest, the war situation is still coming from the north. In occupied cities such as Chengdu, these news will be announced in large quantities at the yamen gate every day, which is a surprise to the people gathered in teahouses and restaurants.

It brought a lot of new topics for discussion.
