"Thank you uncle for your advice!" Meng Changqing patted him.
"Don't talk like that. I'm not as good as you in this regard." Wei Fangyun said, "It's okay for me to lead troops in battles, but if you ask me to govern states and counties, I will definitely not be able to compete with you educated people. .”
"My uncle's words are too modest." Meng Changqing said: "Since Your Majesty has made this appointment, my uncle must also be able to govern. Moreover, Liangzhou can enjoy today's peaceful days precisely because of his good governance."
Wei Fangyun smiled and shook his head, "If I didn't know how much I weigh, it would be easy for you to blow me up."
As he spoke, his rice bowl was empty.
Bafang said at the right time: "Uncle, please have another bowl."
"No." Wei Fangyun rubbed his belly and stood up, "I'm full, eat more and waste more."
"Bafang, take uncle's bowl to the well room and wash it."
"Yes."
"Come on, Changqing, let me borrow a horse from you. I will send someone to bring it back to you when I get to Liangzhou Prefecture."
"Uncle please."
Wei Fangyun walked very slowly on the way to the stable, looking up at the sun in the sky.
"The weather has been nice these days." Wei Fangyun said, "The sun has been shining for several days in a row. Although the snow has not melted, it always feels warmer than before."
Meng Changqing nodded, but before he could respond, Wei Fangyun sighed, "Changqing, the hot weather is not a good thing for us.
As long as this city wall is not built, I will not be able to sleep peacefully. I am afraid that the battle report will come in the middle of the night, and I am afraid that the great situation and all your hard work will be ruined by the unpredictable weather. ”
Meng Changqing said: "My nephew is also worried about this, and like his uncle, he can't sleep peacefully every night.
But please rest assured, uncle, the security on the city wall has never been relaxed, and there are people patrolling the beacon tower at all times. ”
"You are careful in your work and don't need much attention from me. I can't do much for you." Wei Fangyun said, "A few days ago, the palace came to ask how the city wall was being built. I put the official document you wrote in the memorial. I sent it to you, and the court admired you very much.”
Meng Changqing laughed twice.
Knowing that he liked to send official documents to the capital, she should have written two less pages.
Bafang washed the dishes and prepared the horses in the stable.
When Wei Fangyun and Meng Changqing arrive, they can ride on them and leave.
"Uncle, this is pickled radish." Bafang handed over the wrapped jar.
"Thank you, kid." Wei Fangyun mounted the horse and said, "Let's go."
Not long after he rode on horseback, he suddenly grabbed the reins, crossed the horse and said loudly: "Changqing! Uncle is just waiting for the day when the city wall is built, and invites you to have three drinks in Liangzhou Mansion!"
Meng Changqing also responded loudly: "My nephew will never break the promise!"
That evening, as soon as Hai Shi passed, the mid-shift people went to work.
It was already dark by this time, but it could not stop the people from wanting to go home.
Meng Changqing sent someone to pick him up like last time.
The Zeng brothers quickly packed up their packages, carried bowls and went to line up with the others in their group. Their group always did well and was often the first group to eat.
Boss Zeng was in the queue, but his eyes were always looking elsewhere.
"Brother, are you looking at my sister-in-law?" Zeng Laosan could tell. "The women are all lining up to eat at the back, far away from us. Only after we finish eating can our sister-in-law and the others line up at the back. Don't look at it." br>
Boss Zeng put the bowl into the hands of his third brother, "You hold it for me first. I have to go see her. She doesn't talk to people very much. I'm afraid no one will tell her that she can go home today."
< br>
"Okay, I'll line up for you."
Boss Zeng quickly left the team and came to the pothole where the women lived. But in the area where women live, men are not allowed to enter, regardless of whether the man is the husband of a certain woman.
Boss Zeng could only say to the guard, "I'm here to see Liu Meizi from the 500th Group. I am her man and I have something to tell her."
The guard moved a few steps to the side and called out Meizi loudly.
People in the same area will deliberately arrange for them to take the same shift so that they can travel together when they go home.
Meizi is from Qianzenzhuang, Liangzhou, so naturally she works in middle school like the Zeng brothers.
When Mei Zi saw Boss Zeng, she opened her mouth and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"Why don't you pack the package?" Boss Zeng said, "I know no one told you to pack the package quickly. We can go home after you have eaten."
Meizi was not excited, her expression was even a little cold.
Boss Zeng didn't notice it and kept saying: "After eating today, you can take an extra bowl to take home. You have to remember."
"I'm not going back." Mei Zi spoke in a low voice, so Boss Zeng didn't hear her clearly.
"What?"
Meizi's voice became louder, "I said I won't go back."
"Why?"
There was a trace of sarcasm on Meizi's lips, but she calmed down and said, "I'm not in good health and can't walk such a long distance. I might faint over and over again. I'm afraid the county boss will drive me away by then. ”
Boss Zeng rubbed his hands, "Okay." He was stunned for a while and said, "Okay, then you can stay here. When you are not at work, you can go and drink porridge. I... the third child and I are going back, so let's go first ”
"Brother!" Zeng Laosan was already standing not far from the kitchen door, "Come here quickly! Why are you so slow? You are almost upon us."
Zeng Laosan was not in a high mood, and Zeng Laosan quickly noticed, "Brother, what's wrong with you? What happened to my sister-in-law?"
"Your sister-in-law won't go back."
"Huh? Why?"
"The road is too far and she is not in good health. She might as well stay here."
"It makes sense." Zeng Laosan stretched out the bowl in his hand and quickly took a large bowl of rice. He covered his head and started eating. He had almost finished eating, but his elder brother still had more than half of the bowl left. "Hurry up. Eat!”
"I can't eat it."
Zeng Laosan said: "We have nothing to eat when we get home. If you are not here to eat, don't starve to death like your sister-in-law.
I know you are thinking about your sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is not in good health and it was caused by hunger at home.
If she goes back, who in the family can give her a good look? I feel aggrieved even when I go back, so why go back?
I originally wanted to persuade her to stay here, but I didn't say anything because I was afraid that you would be sad. ”
"I always feel that she has separated from me." For the first time, Mr. Zeng found the food unpalatable.
"If the elder sister-in-law is separated from you, it is because you have done something wrong." The third child said, "I told you before when I was at home, the elder sister-in-law is also a human being, why should she be bullied by the second sister-in-law everywhere.
< br>
You never help your sister-in-law at home because you feel you owe your second brother, so you don't care about them.
But if you really feel you are owed something, it's your turn to make up for it, and you can't ask your sister-in-law to suffer for you.
If I were the eldest sister-in-law, I would no longer stay at home. ”
Boss Zeng's heart skipped a beat, "I just feel that she doesn't want to go back with me in the future."
"If you are thinking too much here now, it is better to be nicer to my sister-in-law in the future." Zeng Laosan finished his meal and urged: "Eat quickly, brother, don't go out too late and fail to keep up with the convoy."
