Although the grassland is rich in water and grass, it is not suitable for growing crops. This is something that people in the border areas know.
But no matter how poor the farmland is, no one will dislike it as long as it belongs to their own family, not to mention the various preferential policies promised by the government.
Therefore, after the government posted the announcement, the number of people who registered accordingly was still full.
This included Liu Er. After the beginning of spring, he and his father followed the large army to the first newly built city on the grassland.
But after going there, he and his father discovered that although the land around the new city was not as fertile as their own fields, it was not as unbearable as they imagined.
After discovering the good news, all the people involved in the reclamation cheered.
It turned out that the family's fields could not be left to an old woman to cultivate by herself. My father gave Liu Er instructions to cultivate the fields. When he saw that the situation was better than expected, he finally felt relieved and chose to return home.
As soon as his father left, Liu Er's mind suddenly became more active.
When he signed up to come here, he actually had a secret that he had not told anyone.
After Liu Er gradually understood the relationship between men and women, he found that he had a crush on A Hua, his childhood sweetheart who had grown up together. However, because of his previous lazy behavior, A Hua had always been polite to him.
After the government posted a notice this time, he accidentally discovered that Ahua had signed up to go to the new city to cultivate fields.
After discovering this, Liu Eryi gritted his teeth, fearing that he would never have another chance, and also signed up.
Perhaps it was the instinctive dependence from her fellow villagers when she was in a different place, or perhaps it was the sincerity that made her so successful. A month ago, Ahua finally responded to Liu Er's pursuit.
People who grew up in poverty did not have so many rules, but they still had to follow the basic rules for weddings.
When Liu Er came back this time, he wanted to take his father and mother over and host the wedding ceremony for him and Ahua.
A happy event was approaching, so even though he found that when he came back, the interrogation in Yanque Pass was much stricter than before, he didn't feel impatient at all.
His parents do not live in Yanque Pass, so they need to enter through the north gate, then leave through the south gate, and undergo two interrogations.
Now he was asked the same question for the second time.
The soldier turned over Liu Er's road guide in his hand and asked casually: "What are you doing here this time?"
I want to get married and come back to pick up my parents.
Liu Er was about to answer cheerfully when he heard a loud bang.
He was startled, and subconsciously looked up, only to see a figure wearing armor standing up among a large amount of dust.
"This is……"
The soldiers who were questioning Liu Er were also startled.
After recognizing the figure, he put down his subconscious guard and replied smoothly: "This is Lord Ouyang Xuan, a fellow commander and acquaintance of the capital, and he is also a powerful practitioner..."
Are you all commanding Master Tongzhi?
Liu Erhuo was so old that the biggest official he met was only a centurion. This was because of the last time he went to the grassland.
When I suddenly see such a high-ranking official, I instinctively kowtow and salute out of awe.
However, before he could make any move, he saw Mr. Ouyang passing by him and disappearing quickly.
Liu Er's body froze in place, wondering whether he should continue to kneel down.
At the same time, I felt a little scared.
For a fellow commander to show such urgency, could something serious have happened?
Li Er is just an ordinary civilian farming, but such civilians cherish the hard-won peace even more, because for those big shots, a small shock is likely to cause them to fall into the abyss.
Not only Liu Er, but also the surrounding people who came in and out of the city showed a hint of worry after recognizing Ouyang Xuan's identity.
Finally, the captain on duty stood up to comfort everyone.
Although he was a little shocked, he knew that if there was a riot here, it would lead to bigger problems when the situation was unclear.
The words of an official are undoubtedly very credible.
Under the comfort of the captain of ten, everyone barely regained their composure, and then under the command of the soldiers, order in and out of the city was restored.
…
Liu Er also temporarily put aside his doubts, because the soldiers responsible for interrogating him began to question him again.
"What are you doing back this time?"
In addition to the interrupted question just now, this was the third time Liu Er heard this question today, and the figure of Ahua waiting for him quickly appeared in his mind.
The heavens and the earth are vast, and the joyous events that are about to come are the greatest.
Without realizing it, Liu Er's lips once again had a smile full of hope for the future.
At such times, men are always the most generous.
Liu Er took out some wedding candies that had been prepared in advance from the package and handed them over. At the same time, he said cheerfully: "Master, I will get married in a few days. I came back this time to pick up my father and mother-in-law."
.”
"I haven't prepared many wedding candies this time. I hope you won't find it objectionable."
During the interrogation just now, the soldiers already knew that Liu Er was one of the people who responded to the government's call to go to the newly built city on the grassland to open up wasteland.
They have always preferred people who cooperate with the government.
Therefore, he did not reject Liu Er. When he returned Lu Yin, he took the wedding candy and smiled as well: "Then I'm welcome. With the bridegroom's happiness, I might be able to marry a wife next year."
go back."
Liu Er nodded repeatedly: "Absolutely."
The soldier waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go over."
"Thank you, sir."
Liu Er pushed up the cart he had been pushing when he left home and walked towards the outside of the city.
…
After leaving the city, Liu Er walked along the edge of the official road into the distance. After a while, the city gate of Yanque Pass became blurry behind him.
While pushing the trolley, the figure of Ouyang Xuan who had just jumped off the city wall appeared in his mind.
It should be a joy for ordinary people like them to see a master who is in charge of the general affairs.
Especially for Liu Er, who was about to get married, it was a good fortune to meet a high-ranking official from the second rank at such a time. To exaggerate, it could even be said to be an auspicious sign.
But the anxious look of the commander-in-chief made him a little worried.
Matters involving big shots were not something ordinary people like them were capable of solving, so Liu Er temporarily put the matter behind him after worrying about it for a while.
When he goes back, he plans to ask his father who has lived for decades longer.
It's not because Dad has more experience, but because although Dad lives outside the city, he still goes to Yanque Pass to buy necessities for the family from time to time. If something really happens, Dad might know something about it.
But Liu Er didn't expect that he would get the answer soon.
