The Yan family's father and daughter got up early and went to the military camp for a morning run, and then went home for breakfast.
After eating, Yan Yu returned to the military camp, sometimes staying for a whole day, sometimes returning in half a day.
In just a short period of time, she has gone from occasionally working part-time to supervising military training.
Not only watching others practice, but also following the training myself.
The boy scouts headed by Yan Yu convinced the new recruits in the camp with their solid achievements.
In terms of riding skills, not only can they easily mount a horse, but they can also ride a donkey and an ox, as well as drive a cart and let go of a dog.
A few of them were personally taught by Yan Laoer and learned about trimming the hooves of livestock.
Let’s talk about bows and arrows, that’s Xiaoan Village’s specialty.
Almost every house has an archery target, and adults and children shoot for fun when they have nothing to do.
They are not novices in using knives, they have practiced with veterans several times before.
This time the recruit camp practiced spear training together, and these children were even more attentive.
What a coincidence, there are no gun heads for the time being, and they are all replaced by bare sticks. Their little general Yan has to fly with an iron stick, and the children are very enthusiastic about learning.
Be careful in everything, and your progress in learning how to shoot a gun will be rapid.
General Yan himself is not easy to take action, but he can't resist the natural tendency of young people to compete for the first place. Children born in the Boy Scouts are the best in almost everything, and even their biological fathers and uncles have to step back.
Equally conspicuous are the four boys from the Wei family.
It is indeed a family of military commanders.
The foundation is solid and there are no shortcomings in any aspect.
In the entire recruit camp, they are the only ones who can challenge the children of Xiaoan Village.
Li Xuemei arrived at the military camp before lunch.
He placed the basket on his back on the ground, moved a stone from the side, dusted it off and sat down.
I took a look into the basket and saw that it was good, the child was still asleep.
Who would have thought that when I first came here, I almost lost all the wheat I cut in the fields. Now I am carrying a basket with children on my back, walking around the fields after leaving home, and then turning to the military camp. My face is not red or angry.
Panting.
She took out a handkerchief, poured water in it, moistened it and wiped her hands.
Then he took off the hanging cloth bag from the basket and slowly opened it.
Li Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good, the mung bean cake is not broken.
"mother!"
Yan Yu ran over quickly, the sweat on his forehead glistening in the sunlight.
"You're thirsty, drink some water." Li Xuemei smiled and handed her the bamboo tube.
Yan Yu drank half of the bamboo tube in one breath, glanced at the light green mung bean cakes one by one, and looked at her mother with bright eyes.
"I made it especially for you." Li Xuemei said.
Yan Yu grinned: "Mom is so kind!"
Li Xuemei looked at it with a smile. She asked Grandma Rong to make the mung bean cake for Dabao.
"Let the boys from the Wei family come over and drink some water." Li Xuemei said naturally.
Yan Yu pouted and still called someone.
"Second Lady Yan!" "Second Lady Yan!" Wei San and others shouted happily.
Although they lived in the military camp these days, they received a lot of care from Mrs. Yan Er. She not only came to the place where they lived to check for any defects, but also measured them and made them training clothes. The Yan family only needs to eat meat.
It was necessary to call them over. On the day when the young master and Manager Wang set out to return to Fucheng, Mrs. Yan Er also sent someone to call them over to see them off and see them face to face.
They knew exactly why the family sent them to Guanzhou.
To be able to show up and talk in front of the young master of the royal palace, there are also Manager Wang from the British palace, and even Eunuch Li who is here on errands from Beijing...
Wei San and others are very grateful for this careful and considerate care.
Mrs. Yan Er didn't like the title "Madam", so they followed the villagers in calling her "Mother", which made them feel closer to her.
Every day Mrs. Yan would come to the barracks to see the waiters. She would always bring food and water, and she would never forget them.
Li Xuemei's eyes lit up when she saw that several children still had weapons in their hands.
"Wei Qi, look at the sweat on your head. Drink water and eat a piece of mung bean cake."
She wanted to take the sword from the child's hand.
Wei Qi paused in the middle of handing it over, "Ms. Yan Er, don't take it, this knife is very heavy."
Li Xuemei said: "Then you put it on the ground first, sit down and rest, and I will wipe your hands with a wet handkerchief."
As she spoke, she quickly wet the handkerchief and handed it over.
Then, after several children put down the weapons in their hands, they naturally went over to organize them and moved the murderous weapons to the side.
While the children were drinking water and eating snacks, they were still arguing about the training on the field.
Li Xuemei quickly pulled out a rope from her sleeve.
Aim at the target - the Zhanma Dao, and measure it one by one.
Li Xuemei did nothing else in the past few days, except observing her daughter's rare knife.
It's easy to guess what her eldest daughter is thinking.
She was thinking about when she would be able to get to the platform and ask her uncle to help her make a knife.
But how long does it take to open the platform? Even if you want to fight, it is best to ask the sand blacksmith in the village to fight.
The knife comes from a better place.
After going over the dimensions on the rope in her mind, Li Xuemei left with satisfaction.
Today she finally had the opportunity, and it was not in vain that she carried the child here every day.
…
As soon as she entered the yard, Grandma Rong came out to welcome her and took the basket from Li Xuemei's back.
Little Ya'er had woken up and was playing in the basket when she was suddenly taken out and kicked and kicked.
After nanny Rong shushed her, she took her back into the house, quickly took off her clothes, wiped herself, changed into the clothes she wore at home, and put the child back on the kang.
Little Ya'er felt comfortable and returned to a familiar place. She turned over neatly and struggled forward. She reached the furry tail with her little hand and laughed so hard that her mouth watered.
The cat lay calmly on its side, moving its tail from time to time, teasing the child.
Li Xuemei took a short rest, looked through the pictures drawn by her daughter, put her money bag in her pocket and went out, heading straight to Blacksmith Sha's house.
How much does her eldest child miss her?
I couldn't bring myself to borrow the sword from Wei Qi, but I didn't want to bully others, so I memorized it by heart during the day and came back to draw at night...
How could a mother like Li Xuemei even look at her?
Her daughter likes it, and it’s not like her family has no money and can’t afford it, so she gives it to Dabao!
…
Yan Laoer is busy every day.
Finally, she knew what her daughter's life was like before.
Several projects in the village started at the same time.
Manual coordination, materials used everywhere, and each project is individually accounted for.
Come and ask him about this, and ask him to make up his mind about that...
Worried.
The exiled criminals and the people who used their bodies to pay for cattle rent used two sets of algorithms.
The number of the latter has not been reduced much by the passing of spring plowing.
After knowing that Xiao'an Village is willing to continue renting cattle and that there are many places for labor in the village, these families are willing to leave one person to continue working in Xiao'an Village.
The rented cattle, in addition to the income from walking, can also help Xiaoan Village transport goods and earn a few copper coins.
After Yan Laoer discovered that the amount of money in his account was increasing day by day, and that there was little income, he decisively negotiated with the village elders to build a brick kiln, burn bricks and build a factory; he held a small market in Xiao'an Village and met by chance
