Jixiang watched Awei jump out and looked at Ruyi with squinted eyes, "Brother Ruyi, look at it. I knew that my wife would see the wounded soldiers coming back from the medical tent, and she would be able to think of a way to accommodate those who didn't want to go back." The wounded soldiers of the countryside.”

Ruyi nodded in agreement and looked at Li Yu, "Madam, do you want to buy that wasteland to house the wounded soldiers?"

Li Yu shook his head, "We can't be the ones to take care of the wounded soldiers. I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I just have a vague idea in my mind. I'll go back and think it over first. Have all the refugees who are short of food come here to exchange for food? ?”

"I've come to replace them all. I just feel strange why there isn't a lot of food in the warehouse," Ruyi smiled and patted Ji Xiang, "I told this kid today that he is still there!"

Li Yu thought to himself that there is not much food in my space, except for those grain seeds, which are all stored in the warehouse! He looked at the two of them with a smile, "Nothing less, it's done, you guys are busy, I'll go back."

After Li Yu returned home, he straightened out his thoughts and took notes. He thought of the veteran named Xu Cripple and planned to go to Uncle Liu and ask him to find Xu Cripple to find out.

When I went to the gate of the outer courtyard, I saw Uncle Liu sitting there, weaving something with a thin piece of bamboo.

"Madam, are you going out? I'll go hitch the car." When Uncle Liu saw Li Yu coming out, he quickly put down the bamboo strips in his hand and limped to hitch the car.

Li Yu stopped him, "Uncle Liu, you don't need to drive. I'm here to ask you something."

"Madam, please tell me." Uncle Liu bowed and stood aside.

"You don't have to be like this," Li Yu looked at the polite old man and smiled, "I want to ask how much money you said you would receive as a pension when you retired from the army? How much money did you actually receive?"

Uncle Liu smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Madam, when I retired with a disabled leg, my superior said that I could receive twenty taels of pension money. I didn't go home and I don't know how much money my family received, but later I When I was in Qingchuan, I heard from wounded soldiers who returned home from retirement that they only received less than ten taels of silver. I heard that this was not considered greedy. In some places, they only received five or six taels of silver. Madam, why are you asking about this? "

Li Yu told Uncle Liu what Xu Laizi said, "I want to know whether it is really what he said."

"Madam, there are a lot of tricks here, and he doesn't dare to talk to anyone casually." Uncle Liu said with a wry smile.

Li Yu nodded, "I know, so I came to you to find this veteran named Xu Laizi in the medical tent. Make acquaintance with him and learn more about the situation before telling me. By the way, I also asked whether those wounded soldiers who are unwilling to return home will do so." Doing farm work?”

Uncle Liu looked up at Li Yu in surprise, bowed and asked, "Madam, are you planning to help them?"

Li Yu looked at Uncle Liu's surprised look, smiled slightly and said: "I have this idea, the details can only be determined after discussing with the master. Don't let the news leak, just mention it to them as you usually do when chatting about family matters. It's money for eating and drinking." I will let you pay as you wish."

Liu Bo smiled cheerfully and said, "Madam, you don't need to spend any money. I keep all my monthly money with me and haven't used it yet!"

"Oh! Then do you want to take it back to your hometown?"

Uncle Liu shook his head sadly, "No, my parents are gone. My brothers at home all think I'm dead. I won't go back and drag them down anymore."

"You can make the decision yourself. As long as you are at home, the master and I will not ignore you." Li Yu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Uncle Liu bowed and saluted: "Old slave, thank you sir and madam."

Li Yu really couldn't stand this polite old man, so he waved his hand and went back to the backyard. He saw Xiaoyu and Gu Yu sitting in the yard doing needlework in the sun. The early winter sun was no longer so scorching and dazzling, but became gentle. Get up and shine it on your body, making you feel warm.

When Xinghua saw Li Yu coming back, she stood up, looked at Li Yu and asked, "Madam, I'll bring you a chair. Can you take a rest?" Li Yu nodded, "Go ahead!"

Xiaoyu looked up at Li Yu with a smile and said, "Madam, you have been busy for so many days. It's time to take a good rest, make a cup of tea, eat some snacks, bask in the sun, and listen to interesting things on the street."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "That's a good idea. Tell me the strange things you heard."

Xiaoyu smiled and said: "There are really strange things. Sit down and I will tell you slowly."

Xinghua brought out the rocking chair to Li Yu. Li Yu sat down and lay on the rocking chair, watching Xinghua and Guyu busy,

The two brought out a small table, made tea, brought some pastries, fried peanuts, pumpkin seeds, and pine nuts and placed them on the small table. Guyu also brought a thin quilt to cover Li Yu. On his lap, Li Yu squinted and slowly rocked against the rocking chair, enjoying the warm sunshine of early winter.

Gu Yu looked at Li Yu, who was squinting in sleep, and smiled at Gu Yu: "Sister-in-law Yu, tell me what strange things Grandma Liu told you?"

"Impatient girl," Xiaoyu smiled and said before she started talking, Yangyang, Qijin and Xiaonilu came back from the back garden. Yangyang saw Li Yu leaving a few people on the verandah and ran to Li Yu and held his hand. She asked with her hand: "Mom, Brother Shuisheng and the others have returned to Zhuangzi. When will we go back to Zhuangzi to live?"

"Look at you, you're sweating profusely from running." Li Yu reached out to touch his vest and saw that it wasn't wet, so he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. "We can't go back until spring next year, otherwise my father will be too busy in the government office." cold."

Yangyang took the handkerchief from Li Yu's hand, wiped it on his face a few times and put it in Li Yu's hand, "I understand, then I'll go play."

Li Yu glanced at the children waiting on the veranda, grabbed some snacks, put them on a plate and gave them to him, "Go! Don't run outside."

"I know." Yangyang turned around and ran away. Li Yu looked at the children who were sharing the snacks after they met, and laughed. "It's better to be children! You can cry if you want to be carefree." Just laugh."

After hearing this, Gu Yu stopped the needlework in her hand and looked at Li Yu, "Madam, it hurts to look at such a well-behaved child. Some of them are rolling on the ground and acting up! The young master is really very sensible. You I don’t know that those children in the village are spoiled, but just looking at him makes me want to slap him twice.”

Xiaoyu raised her head and laughed, "That's true, our young master taught us so well! He is good-looking, sensible and polite, which makes people like him. It's not like some people who spoil their children so badly. The place where my mother-in-law lived before There is a family in the village. There is a child named Guigui. He is the only male in the family. His mother dotes on him so much that she treats his sisters like oxen and horses. He often rides his three sisters like big horses, which is a little unsatisfactory. He just rolled around, and the guy rolled from one end of the dam to the other, and wouldn't stop unless he obeyed him."

"Then this child won't be useless when he grows up?" Xinghua asked in surprise.

Xiaoyu smiled, "I don't know, maybe it was disabled, because my family moved next door to my wife's house within two years."

"Eighty to ninety percent of it is useless. Pampering will make you a traitor." Li Yu said lightly.
