Chapter 496 News before the battle, siege the city
Chen Yu shook his head: "I didn't say anything. Since Yu Ling has made glass, let's wait until mother goes back."
"Well, listen to me." Pan Yuling felt relieved.
Chen Yu knew that everyone at home was thinking about him. He looked up at Su Silang who was sitting in a wheelchair outside the door and Su Liulang who was sitting directly on the ground. The two brothers didn't know what they were talking about, but they looked quite happy.
Su Silang is the uncle, so this is to avoid suspicion.
She took a pen and paper and sat by the window to write a letter home. Before she could write a few words, she turned her head and saw that Pan Yuling had fallen asleep on the heated kang. Seeing her daughter-in-law's haggard appearance, Chen Yu felt a little guilty.
I should have just written a letter home when I got here, and there was no need for the couple to come all the way here.
He came over and picked up the soft pillow, gently held Pan Yuling's head and put the pillow on it.
"Mom, I'm so sleepy." Pan Yuling muttered.
Chen Yu said softly: "Go to sleep."
"If you don't give it to them, you can't give it to them," Pan Yuling said vaguely.
Chen Yu pulled the quilt over and covered her: "No, no, just sleep."
Xunmei came over with the clothes she needed to change. Seeing the old lady's light-footedness, she was so envious of the Su family's daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law outside were so violent that it was common for her to be beaten to the point of being humiliated by her mother-in-law.
There are a lot of them, but there are none of these in the Su family.
He gently put the clothes aside and reached out to help Chen Yu get down.
Chen Yu said softly: "Prepare more food and drinks in the evening, and I will go stir-fry later."
"Yes." Xunmei responded.
After arriving at Xuande Mansion, the old lady had no airs at all. She worked in the fields and cooked more and more often, and she even taught the village women how to cook.
I finished writing a letter from home and added another line of words to it. The letter won’t reach Zheng Yuee’s hands so quickly. I have to fly pigeons to pass the letter back first to calm the hearts of the people at home.
After going out with the letter, Chen Yu carried the basket to pick vegetables.
"Mom, I'll come." Su Liulang came over quickly.
Chen Yu shook his head: "Go inside and go to bed. Yu Ling is so tired that she fell asleep. You two will eat after you have slept."
Su Liulang still persisted, but Su Silang's face darkened: "Listen to me, go into the house and sleep!"
"Okay, I'll take a nap for a while." Su Liulang was really tired, so he went into the room and looked at the small fire bed. He leaned next to Pan Yuling and closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.
Outside, Chen Yu picked a basket of vegetables, took some small pots and sat next to Su Silang to choose vegetables.
"Mom, Liu Lang and his wife are too ambitious. They dare to go out on such a long journey. We have to talk about it later." Su Silang said.
Chen Yu smiled: "These two are protecting the family's money bag. When we get home later, you will know why we came all the way here."
"Our family is all scared of poverty." Su Silang looked at his mother's rough hands: "It's almost time, the city is broken."
Chen Yu raised his head and glanced at Su Silang. When he saw Su Silang nodding with a solemn expression, he knew that the Tatars knew that the peace talks would not work out. Without the opportunity to cultivate their health, they would resist crazily. It would not be easy to conquer a country.
"It would be nice to come back before winter comes. Dai Viet's soldiers cannot stand such a cold climate. If not, they must prepare cotton-padded clothes in advance." Chen Yu said softly.
Su Silang lamented: "The people of Dai Viet have rarely experienced war, so there are too few people who can think like a mother."
"Silang." Chen Yu chose the vegetables and looked up at the farmers who were returning from the village one after another: "Ordinary people live their ordinary lives seriously, and that's enough. Those who can bear the burden for the country and the people don't ask for more, because
That would definitely make the world difficult, but it would be a bad thing."
Su Silang listened carefully to his mother's words and suddenly realized.
Chen Yu was busy with dinner in the kitchen, and Su Silang was sitting in the yard. In the small farmyard, Su Silang figured out many things that he couldn't figure out before, such as one country and one family, one soldier and one soldier, the rise and fall of the world, honor and disgrace.
In the room, Pan Yuling turned over, opened her eyes and touched her growling stomach: "It smells so good."
Xunmei, who was waiting next to her, came over and said: "Sixth Madam, the old lady knows that you and Mr. Six have suffered along the way, so they are going to cook. Madam Six, please get up and wash up, so that you can eat later. The second and third young masters will be back soon.
"
Pan Yuling felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't forget to call Su Liulang when she got up.
Chen Yu looked back when he heard the noise, added a handful of firewood to the stove, went out and took out two wooden boards from the house, and placed one inside and one outside the door.
Su Silang looked at his mother's busy appearance and wheeled the wheelchair over: "Mother."
"The planks have been made a long time ago so that you can enter and exit the house by yourself. If you don't live here for a long time, otherwise the door will be opened wider and the ground will be leveled." Chen Yu put the planks on and
He raised his head and said, "Come on, Shiro, give it a try."
The slope was very gentle. Su Silang entered the house and smiled: "Mom is so awesome, I have never thought of this method."
Chen Yu smiled. It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but these people attach too much importance to rules. If there is a door, there must be a threshold. Whether high or low has become a symbol of a family's status. The inherent thinking mode leads to no people-oriented attitude at all.
I think a lot about Su Silang.
"The two brothers will come back soon, and we will start dinner. Mom has steamed a big pot of steamed buns." Chen Yu poured a cup of tea for Su Silang: "The house is small, and we are all a family, so there is no need to avoid too many taboos."
"Yes." Su Silang raised the corners of his lips and smiled happily.
"Grandma, we're back." Su Shaoli shouted.
Chen Yu replied: "I'll wash up later."
He left Su Silang in the room and hurried out. The place was small and there was only a small side room where he could take a bath.
Su Zhuyin put the vegetable basket next to him: "Grandma, I picked a lot of mushrooms today, and we both helped them pick them."
"Later, grandma will stew chicken for you. Your sixth uncle and sixth aunt are here. Later, you two brothers will have to stay at someone else's house for one night." Chen Yu said and went into the kitchen and packed a few steamed buns.
Put it aside in a clean basket: "Bring it to someone else."
Su Zhuyin nodded: "Okay."
Su Liulang and his wife washed up and went out. The room was set up for food and drink, and the whole family sat together at a small table. Chen Yu looked at everyone immersed in eating, and raised the corners of his lips to smile.
People in the Su family can now enjoy blessings and are not afraid of suffering, which is good.
Su Silang still couldn't live here. He didn't care if the house was small and he was willing to stay overnight, but the Yamen side couldn't be empty.
After sending Su Silang away, Su Liulang sat by the kang full of thoughts: "Mom, can you let your second brother make a pair of crutches?"
"Your fourth brother didn't go back. When he goes back and the wound recovers, I'll ask your second brother to make a prosthetic limb for him." Chen Yu has thought about this for a long time, but wearing a prosthetic limb would be too painful if it doesn't fit properly.
But Su Silang definitely wanted to stand up, so he needed to recover for a while. After the war, Su Silang went home for a while, just enough to get used to the prosthesis. The outer shell was made of wood so as not to attract attention. He had to work hard on the parts that contacted the legs.
Just fine.
Su Shaoli and Su Zhuyin took their sixth uncle out to stay and brought a basket of steamed buns. Any family would be happy to receive them, even the servants of the Su family. They must respect others when they do not make mistakes. This is a rule set by Chen Yu, because
Domestic servants are people who work for the Su family, and the family cannot be allowed to develop arrogance.
At night, when the whole family fell asleep, Chen Yu entered the replacement space, sat down in the bamboo house, drank a cup of tea, and looked at the green in his eyes. He couldn't help but think about Su Qianxiu. He had attacked the city, so he should come back early!
