Chapter 438 Before the whole village goes over the mountain
Yan Yu never regarded these children named Boy Scouts as real children.
There are no weak soldiers under a strong general.
She is so strong, can her subordinates be weak?
A group of children regard training as a daily routine, insist on practicing archery, have a regular schedule, take protecting the village as their own responsibility, and dare to shoot Beirong.
It seems more appropriate to call them "wolf cubs".
When the little wolf cubs find that their teeth are sharp and their claws are sharp, they will definitely be able to help baring their teeth and flashing their claws.
What Yan Yu needs to do is to scare them, and use force to suppress them when necessary!
Let them remember who is the boss and who is the real leader of the Scouts!
She always kept wooden sticks in her car, so she took one, held one end in one hand, and put the other end on the ground.
Key points: the chin must be raised no more than 30 degrees, the eyes must not look at the wooden stick, and the whole place must be scanned, the eyes are understated, the body seems to be relaxed, but in fact it is tight, standing as loose as possible, there will be a tall and straight beauty...
The wooden stick was raised high, and it fell with a thunderous force.
There was a crisp sound.
The wooden stick broke with the sound.
Yan Yu thinks this posture must be very handsome!
I am very satisfied.
The children exclaimed.
A swarm of swarms came over and surrounded her.
In fact, the children don't feel whether they are handsome or not. In the winter, everyone is dressed in a ball. You can tell how handsome you are from a round body. I just think that the little boy is so strong and excited. This is what our boy scouts are like.
prestige!
Yan Yu:……
Yan Yu was so cowardly that she ran away.
The children looked at her so eagerly that her sixth sense was about to burst.
They want to lift me, they want to throw me high!
…
Yan Yu's calves were tight and she ran back to the house. She quickly took off her clothes and shoes and then got on the kang. She knew that she was a little dirty when she came back from outside, so she squatted next to her obediently.
Li Xuemei looked at her series of actions with great confusion.
His eyes kept following.
Yan Xiaoer patted his chest with his little hand: "Mom, I can't be so handsome in the future, it's too much pressure!"
Li Xuemei:???
Seeing that no one was chasing him, Yan Xiaoer calmed down and repeated the actions just now, including gestures and making sound effects with his small mouth...
"Crack!"
"Mom, isn't he handsome? No, he is super handsome! The children immediately became excited. I felt like they were going to throw me away, so I ran away!"
Li Xuemei:......
I'm always confused, how on earth did I raise such a daughter?!
Aunt Rong brought water in and put it on the kang for her.
Yan Yu washed her face and hands obediently.
Aunt Rong took away the clothes she had taken off.
Yan Yu wanted to call her to stop, but opened her mouth halfway and then closed it.
Listening to Aunt Rong walking away, she sighed softly and said: "Mom, are Aunt Rong going to wash my cotton clothes again?"
She really felt that the inner clothes were clean and the outer ones were left as is.
They were always taken apart and washed, and the children in the village all wore new cotton-padded clothes at the same time. Hers looked the oldest, either because it was old or the color was about to fade away.
The bigger problem is that after taking it apart and washing it, the cloth cannot withstand it!
"You must wash it if it's dirty. If you don't want to wash it so frequently, stop running out." Li Xuemei said calmly.
Yan Yuxin said, let's just wash it. At worst, it will be damaged and patched. She doesn't care at all.
"Mom, dad will be back in the next two days." Yan Yu quickly reported.
The corners of Li Xuemei's lips raised slightly, and then she pursed her lips uncomfortably. Her eyebrows were much gentler: "I'll just stay for one night when I come back. I have to leave the next day. The road back and forth is not close, so why bother."
Yan Yu chuckled, but did not expose her mother's duplicity.
…
Early the next morning, Yan Yu put on a small sheepskin coat.
It was in the style of a half-coat. It was above her knees, making it easy for her to walk and run. It was very loose and left some room for wear. The lining was made of cloth that had been washed and torn by her family. The pieces were pieced together and sewn together with fine stitches. She felt it
Very soft.
The sleeves were a bit long, so Yan Yu rolled up a large piece of them.
I sighed in my heart, from making clothes that fit well at the beginning, to now making winter clothes that are a little larger and clearly leave room for growth, Grandma Rong is also "growing"!
The waiter's new clothes are very eye-catching.
The children touched it curiously, and the adults also looked at it with eyes warm.
This is made of sheep wool.
"Xiaoer, is your woolen jacket warm?"
Mrs. Qi touched the thickness with her hand and nodded secretly.
"It's warm and can keep out the wind." Yan Yu replied.
Mrs. Cui was more serious. She lifted some corners of her clothes and looked inside.
"Oh, it's also sewn and lined. No wonder it feels thick, but it's stuffed here? Why doesn't it feel right?"
Yan Yu said honestly: "We don't have enough cotton at home, so we knead chicken and duck feathers into fine pieces to add to the stuffing."
Mrs. Cui's mind started to work.
"Chicken and duck feathers? It's probably not enough to use alone. It's better to sew it in and add a layer. It's better than nothing and it's cheaper than cotton."
Mrs. Kang also noticed at a glance that her whole family was from the south, and her grandchildren were very thin. Seeing that it was a cold winter this year, keeping warm was their family's top priority.
When he and the Qi family wanted to get married, the elder sister of the Qi family took great care of him and often used various excuses to ask Qi Wu to deliver charcoal to his home.
She didn't like him originally.
The boy from the Qi family is too tall and strong.
On the other hand, her eldest granddaughter...
But Mr. Kang insisted, and the eldest granddaughter was happy to see it, and Qi Wu was a good boy who became more and more responsible as he watched.
Mrs. Kang was willing in her heart.
I am also more willing to walk around outside, not only to earn some rice and food in the village, but also to get closer to the families in the village.
The same goes for the younger members of the family.
A school is going to be built in Xiaoan Village, and it has been agreed that Mr. Kang will be the one to teach.
Even the little ones at home can go.
She wanted to make cotton-padded clothes for the little ones, but cotton and cloth were not cheap. It had snowed several times, and she still didn't have enough money, so she was in a hurry.
Not long ago, the Yan family's waiter brought back sheepskin clothes from Fengming, and she was very interested in it. She thought that if anyone in the village went to Fengming again, she would have someone bring two pieces back.
She looked at it and found that the woolen coat was too big. When she got it back and changed it, she could almost make several smaller ones.
But before the villagers could go out again, the second boy of the Yan family and the fourth child of the Qi family brought back the cattle and sheep from the other side of the mountain.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The eldest granddaughter said yesterday that the Qi family's fourth son got the sheepskins from the two sheep. The Qi family was looking for someone familiar with the skins. When they said it was done, they asked Qi Wu to deliver them.
…
The old man was so worried that he didn't sleep well all night. For no other reason than that they had spent almost all the money they had hidden in the quarry. The Qi family hadn't formally hired them yet, and the eldest granddaughter was not considered a member of the Qi family, so she took it rashly.
Their faces were filled with embarrassment.
In-laws also pay attention to courtesy and should not be looked down upon by the man.
Old Mrs. Kang looked at it for a while and then went to find her old man.
Mr. Kang has been with the Luo family recently.
If you want to build a school in Xiao'an Village, you can't build it just by slapping your forehead. You have to measure the land first, then draw a picture and calculate how much material to use.
Mr. Kang had experience in this field, so he was invited by Village Chief Luo to discuss what the school should be like.
Naturally, he was conscientious in his work and did not dare to be careless at all. Not only did he measure the land in person, he also drew several layouts.
In the past few days, Xiao'an Village has been distracted by cattle and sheep.
Mr. Kang was also free, but he still came over early.
I'm thinking about changing the picture again to keep improving.
Mrs. Kang carefully slipped aside and found the person.
He stared at his old man for a while and said softly: "The Yan family's waiter wore a woolen sweater today. It's warm and nice. If the Qi family comes to give sheepskin, I want to keep it."
She paused and her voice lowered a little: "Make one for Qi Wu and one for our granddaughter."
This is what Mrs. Kang came up with.
They had nothing to take back but to make winter clothes and send them back.
The younger ones can wait, but the eldest granddaughter really can’t wait.
It's not easy for the Qi family to come to offer employment. Her granddaughter doesn't even have a decent big dress.
Mr. Kang's hand holding the charcoal pencil tightened.
He already knew what my old wife meant.
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out."
…
People in the village were lining up one by one to sign up with the waiter.
There were too many people coming, so Yan Yu had to write down all the names first, and then delete them later to see if they were inappropriate or not.
While she was recording the names, Village Chief Luo took several children in the village who were good at math to count square grass.
I went to Qi’s house again to see how each store’s carts had been modified.
Yan Yu's words were almost flying, and it was difficult to finish writing all the names of the people in the future.
Looking at three pieces of paper in a daze.
"Have you finished memorizing it? Send someone to your father to deliver it." Uncle Hu urged.
Old Man Song also came over.
"Are there enough people? Not enough for us old guys to make up for it. You, Grandpa Song, have a good body and are very hard. Others can't do it. I can help you look at things and lead some cattle and sheep."
"There are a lot of people," Yan Yu said.
"It's good to have more, so there's no shortage of people?" Old Man Song felt quite regretful.
Yan Yu thought about it and realized that having more people was not a bad thing.
Yesterday's meeting with the Boy Scouts was made clear. The children were obedient and didn't come over. Today it was all young people from various families, and a few ladies came to sign up. She also took note of it.
She knew the families, the old ones, the young ones, the young ones. The strong men in the family were either missing or gone.
When the weather is nice, these ladies go to the mountains most frequently. When the weather gets cold, they also collect firewood and help with work in the village. They never have a day off.
Last time when Beirong entered the village, her mother was guarding a tower, frightened everyone with arrows, and received a lot of silver rewards.
The ladies in the village have also taken notice. Almost every house has set up a grass target and practiced when they have free time. According to reliable reports from the Boy Scouts, many ladies have practiced well and will bring bamboo crossbows with them when they go into the mountains to collect firewood.
Occasionally, I can shoot pheasants, rabbits, hedgehogs, etc...
The children said that there was very little hedgehog meat and there was not enough to eat...
…
Yan Yu planned that Uncle Luo would go to Huju today to deliver a letter to his father, and his father would discuss it with Mr. Xue Qi. The fastest outcome would be tomorrow.
She waited at home with peace of mind, set up the kang table, spread it with paper, held the cat in her arms, and based on her memory and the cat's constant corrections, she tried to draw a map from Xiao'an Village over the mountains to Beirong.
Xiaoan Village is still a lively day.
Village Chief Luo also felt that there were too many people going, and he thought that the food prepared was not enough.
The whole village urgently prepared food rations and sent people to Xiqiao Town and Dongqiao Town to buy hemp ropes. Carloads of charcoal were hauled back from the forest. All these had to be kept in accounts. The money for the food and hemp ropes in front of them was paid first by the villagers.
, Charcoal will settle the accounts with the Yan family and the Qi family later.
…
The next night, Yan Yu was indeed waiting for her father.
As soon as Yan Laoer entered the village, he discovered the changes in the village.
Good guy, this preparation work is too sufficient.
There is simply no other use for it.
The villagers were very enthusiastic when they saw Yan Laoer coming back.
They asked him about his well-being and were reluctant to let him go home.
Yan Laoer was chatting with people in a good-tempered manner, saying everything that needed to be said.
General Xue Qi is also impatient and cannot wait any longer. The border troops will leave the border in four days, but Xiao'an Village needs to go first and leave early tomorrow morning.
He will come back tonight and will take action with the villagers tomorrow morning.
Once they heard that Yan Laoer was going to go with them, the villagers felt more confident.
I stopped hanging around people and hurriedly went home to clean up.
Yan Yu finally welcomed her father into the house.
"Dad, hurry up, the water is ready for you. Wash it quickly. After washing, let's talk in the room."
Da Ya pursed her lips and smiled, put everything in place, and left.
I haven’t waited for Yan Laoer to come out.
Wang Dalang, who was on duty at the arrow tower, ran over.
"Xiao Er, there is a big boat in the river, and it stopped at the edge of our village. When I came, no one got off yet. Go and have a look!"
He called me waiter, just out of habit.
For a moment, I forgot that Yan Laoer was at home.
Yan Yu quickly put on her clothes, stepped on her shoes, climbed onto the donkey, and put her shoes on the donkey's back.
"Go to the river!"
The donkey took a step forward and trotted out of the yard, faster and faster.
It could gradually tell whether Yan Yu was anxious or not from her tone of voice.
Yan Yu was anxious.
She thought she could probably guess why the boat docked next to their village.
It's uncle!
It must be the uncle!
Counting the days, I went from Huju to Gufeng to borrow a boat, then from Gufeng to Linhaifu, bought food and came back. It was almost the same day.
The moon is lazy tonight, does not come out, and is dark.
Fortunately, the donkey navigates automatically and does not need vision, so it can run very fast.
She could see the big ship in the distance. There were many torches burning on and under the ship, illuminating the whole area.
Did Uncle Wang not learn it clearly or see it clearly? This is not one big boat, but two!
"Uncle!"
She squinted her eyes and looked at the figure in the middle who was wearing a robe and looked very much like her uncle. Who cares, just shout first!
"Don't be impatient, waiter, wait until it gets dark!"
A familiar voice responded not far away.
Now that I'm close, I can see clearly.
Yan Yu saw her uncle's face clearly and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
I rushed forward, got off the donkey, rushed towards my uncle, paused, and glanced around, eh, there were a lot of people!
She cleared her throat, straightened her sheepskin coat to make it fit more snugly, and raised her hands in salute.
A smile flashed in Yan Huaiwen's eyes.
"How is your family?"
"Everything is fine, except that the uncle has been away from home for a long time, and we are worried about him every day." Yan Yu smiled and rolled her eyes, "The uncle is back, is the trip going well?"
Yan Huaiwen nodded and said with a gentle smile: "The waiter will make another trip to the village to call for some help. The grain on the ship will be unloaded first and temporarily stored in the village. The uncle will return to Gufeng to return the two ships."
Yan Yu glanced at the drafts of the two ships and his eyes lit up.
"I'm going back to the village to call for help. Uncle, don't leave yet. Dad is back too..."
