Chapter 9
When Aunt Fang saw her coming, she happily let her into the house, and it was rare for Jiang Ruyi to come over, and the two chatted while doing needlework on the kang, and the small rice balls were put aside.
Aunt Fang's family has a 5-year-old grandson Shishi, who usually likes to play with white and soft rice balls.
At this time, he was happily teaching Xiao Tangyuan to say: "Stone-head-brother."
Xiao Tangyuan: "Ah...... Belch. After
five days of unhurried days, Guo Jin and Zhao Guanxing and their entourage had arrived at the border quickly.
Handing over the tired horse, which looked like it was about to fall at any moment, to the soldiers below, Zhao Guanxing arranged Guo Jin's place again, and he had to go to work before he had time to rest.
As a general, a major decision-maker has been away for so long, and his usual decisions and actions are discussed by other adjutant generals, and now that he is back, there are still many things for him to decide.
Guo Jin was arranged in the soldiers' tents, but fortunately he didn't arrange anything for him for the time being, so he cleaned up and prepared to rest.
He wants to have a good rest, and then do his best, after all, he has to fight for the future this time, and with the help of Zhao Guanxing, he can't live up to such a good opportunity.
Two days later, they fought another small battle, and Guo Jin was among them.
It was his first time on the battlefield.
However, his skills are not at all comparable to those of these little soldiers next to him, he can usually fight even the size of a wild boar, let alone a human? And he is more powerful than the people next to him.
Because of his outstanding performance, Zhao Guanxing told everyone that he had saved General Zhao's life.
So within three days of coming, he was made a centurion by General Zhao.
Although the official position is not large, he is just a newcomer.
So at first, there were a few people who were not convinced, but as time proved that everything was explained with strength, everyone had nothing to say, and Guo Jin also began his journey of advancing to the official rank.
* * *
Although Guo Jin has left all the money to her, it is still quite inconvenient to eat meat.
Without Guo Jin going hunting every day, it is inconvenient for him to go to the town so far away every day to buy meat and come back.
Jiang Ruyi could only go to the town to catch 5 hens and two roosters, raise them first, and wait for the hens to lay eggs and continue to hatch, so there is no need to buy chickens to raise.
Use a broken wooden barrel to raise earthworms, and usually go to get some wild vegetables and come back to chop and mix earthworms to feed together.
The chicks raised in this way grow fast and lay eggs.
Alas, who would have lived so miserably like himself? Jiang Ruyi was thinking sadly.
As a result, when he turned his head to feed the chicks, he didn't pay attention, and Xiao Tangyuan stuffed the chicks full of yellow fluff into his mouth.
"Ah, little dumplings, put them down. Frightened, she immediately went and snatched the chick.
"Wow...... Mother, I want it, woo woo woo eat ......"
Guo Mingxu was robbed of a chicken, looked at his empty hands, and cried directly.
"Can my mother bring you the rest?" Jiang Ruyi was too lazy to coax, went into the kitchen and brought him a boiled egg white, with food in his hand, and the little rice balls finally stopped crying.
Jiang Ruyi: ...... Really speechless about this snack goods.
The two of them usually don't eat much and don't use much, and they have meat and vegetables at home, and they usually need to go to the town once after a few months to supplement their family's needs.
So life is dull.

Two years later.
Xiao Tangyuan is three and a half years old.
"Mother, Brother Shi's father bought him a sugar gourd from the town, and I want to eat it too.
Xiao Tangyuan shouted to Jiang Ruyi while running back from outside.
"Run slower, don't fall. "
Mother, I want sugar gourds. "
Okay, okay, let's go to the town tomorrow to buy sugar gourds, okay." Jiang Ruyi responded to him with a doting smile.
But the little rice balls should not be stopped, and said sadly: "I want my father to buy it, Brother Shi's sugar gourd is what his father bought."
Jiang Ruyi fell silent, Xiao Tangyuan grew up without her father for the past two years, and when she watched other people's fathers and children all day long, she would ask her: Where did Daddy go? When will Daddy come back?
In the end, it is the lack of father's company, which is a kind of love and security that cannot be given by a mother.
Put down the work in hand, squat down and said to him seriously: "It's soon." "
This is also said to myself, because the original plot is written in three years, so there is still one year that the man will come back.
"Oh well. Xiao
Tangyuan was very disappointed, and every time he saw other children playing with their father, he was so envious.
But his mother said that his father went to a far, far away place to protect the safety of him and his mother, but he really missed his father, although he forgot what his father looked like, but he wanted to have his father to play with him, and it didn't matter what he looked like.
But the people in the village said that Daddy would not come back, and that Daddy didn't want them anymore.
However, his mother would take out two letters sent back by his father and read them to him, so he only wanted to believe his mother, he was not a child without a father, and his mother also said that his father was a big hero.
Alas, I don't know when Daddy will come back, he misses him.
The whole face was wrinkled like a little old man.
Jiang Ruyi looked funny.
Give him a small bowl of freshly made sugar and oil poop.
Sure enough, he smiled in the next second, the little rice balls were still the same small rice balls, and they were still the snacks.
And Guo Jin, who was at the border, also became a hussar general, second only to the general.
He had just come out of General Zhao's tent.
Because he applied to General Zhao to go back to the village for a few days, he hasn't been back for two years, and God knows how much he misses the fragrant and soft lady and the little rice balls in the house.
I've been fighting a few battles with those barbarians lately, and now I'm slowly being forced back.
Taking advantage of the fact that the war is not tight now, he wants to go back and see, and he doesn't know if Xiao Tangyuan still remembers his father.
happily went back to his tent to pack his things.
He is more or less a general now, so he lives alone, no longer the soldier's bunk as before, and then everyone huddles together, and the whole tent smells of sweat.
There weren't many things, and they were quickly packed, except for two sets of clothes, the others were recently prepared as gifts for the lady and Xiao Tangyuan.
Thinking of the woman with picturesque eyebrows and tender water, the mood to return home immediately is even more urgent.
Returning to my heart like an arrow, I hurried and hurried, and it only took four and a half days to return.
In the afternoon, Xiao Tangyuan was playing with the stone and other children under the big tree at the entrance of the village, when suddenly some children shouted: "Wow, look at it, big horse." The
sound of horses' hooves was heard.
Not only were these children attracted, but also other elderly people who were enjoying the shade under the big trees, as well as people from nearby homes and roads.
This man was full of anger and beard.
Everyone was talking about it for a while.
Guo Jin rode his horse and stopped in front of the group of children, looking at the children who were almost exactly the same as when he was a child.
Looking at the age, too.
Ask him: "Are you a little rice ball?"
Everyone was stunned for a while, how did this person know the name of Xiao Tangyuan, did he know it?
