The carriage sank two feet, and two feet of corn seedlings were exposed. Simply use linoleum to cover it tightly.

The old man patted his eldest grandson on the shoulder and told him, "Take good care of these corn seedlings on the road. When you give them to the general, tell him that they are gifts carefully prepared by me. There will be a big surprise in autumn!"

Tai Yongan had a strange look on his face and plucked up the courage to question, "Grandpa, are these corn seedlings too light? Do you want to add some spirits or cloth, even pigs and sheep?"

It's a pity that after hearing this, the old man just blew his beard and glared and cursed, "Idiot, you are a fool! If I ask you to take this, just take it honestly, don't talk too much! When you enter the military camp, be obedient to me. If you dare to get into trouble, See if I don’t send you to the military camp to deal with you!”

As he spoke, he raised his pipe and pot.

Tai Yongan immediately ran away with his head in his arms and drove the carriage away first.

He was not afraid of anything except the raising and falling of his grandfather's pipe and pot!
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. They said goodbye to the old man and their families, and embarked on the journey to the grassland again!
Wengqi and others followed the team without any complaints.

They had been in the military camp before and were used to being comfortable. Suddenly they arrived in the village. Although they had food, shelter and warmth, they occasionally missed the previous time.

In this way, living in the village for a while, and being able to go to the grassland for a month, rotating between each other, is simply the best thing...

Once the caravan left, the village became much quieter again.

The old man had long promised to build a house for He Shan and others, but he was delayed because of a trip to Fucheng.

He looked for Mr. Tai and quickly packed up, otherwise he would have to hoe the ground again in half a month, and he would be too busy to take care of it.

He Shan was called to study the location of the new house together. He Shan chose two places, one not far from the entrance of the village, where he could take care of the villagers coming in and out and make it easier to guard the intersection.

The other place is at the foot of the mountain behind the village, to prevent wild animals from the mountains from coming down and causing trouble.

Mr. Tai was happy and excited when he heard this. These veterans were really hired for nothing. They always thought about the village.

According to He Shan's idea, it is enough to build three rooms in a house and accommodate five people in one room.

But the old man has more considerations. If they want to start a family and start a business in the village, they will have to build another house at that time, so they can just do it in one step.

Tai Sanye also wanted to keep He Shan and others, and the two old brothers hit it off immediately. In the end, the two houses were turned into row houses with eight rooms each.

In this way, at least within the next three to five years, even if most of He Shan and the others get married, they won't be afraid of having no place to live.

Moreover, both houses are built with adobe houses, which are warm in winter and cool in summer, and are cheap. It is estimated that the total cost is only 20 taels.

The craftsman who had helped repair the ancestral hall had just returned home a few days ago when he was asked by Tai Jizong to think about a new house.

Not only were they not bored, but they happily went out carrying their tools.

You know, working for the Tai family is the most comfortable time for them.

The Tai family is very considerate, not only taking care of food, drink and clothing, but also gets enough wages. If they are lucky, they will still have some extra money.

Who wouldn’t like such a boss and such a job!
When the whole village heard that houses were going to be built for He Shan and others, they didn't even bother to greet the old man. Almost everyone who could move moved out.

Those who dig the soil, those who carry water, those who dig the grass roots, those who spread the adobe, the work is in full swing.

In almost half a day, the open space at the entrance of the village was filled with half-dried adobes!

He Shan and others also rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs, and followed the others in their work, unable to get rid of the smiles on their faces.This time when the caravan entered the grassland, Tai Yonglu followed, while Tai Yongyue stayed behind to help his mother-in-law take care of the workshop's account books and the like.

The embroidery job Yang Lihua took on earlier will be delivered soon, but it has delayed a lot of progress. She has to work hard to catch up during this period.

At this moment, Tai Yongyue was carrying the teapot in one hand and leading his sister in the other to deliver tea to everyone at the entrance of the village.

A few boys were being naughty, throwing mud at each other, and suddenly one of them hit Zhuzhu without looking.

Tai Yongyue quickly blocked his sister's attack with quick eyes and hands, then threw down the kettle and went to take revenge.

The naughty boys exploded their nest and fled in all directions, making everyone laugh.

Mr. Tai stepped forward, picked up his fat granddaughter, put it on his neck, and walked around while coaxing the child.Zhuzhu giggled and swayed. The silver bells on her little claws jingled incessantly, like a prelude to the years, but also the joyful song of life!
Zhangjia Village was closer. Seeing the excitement in Taijia Village, Village Chief Zhang brought his son over to chat and chat. When he heard that the village was going to build houses for veterans, Zhang Tieniu ran back and called seven or eight people to help. .

In the past, when patrolling occasionally at night, the patrol teams from the two villages would meet in the corn field. They were quite familiar with each other, so they should help each other if there was a job.

What's more, He Shan and others are retired from the frontier army and are real battlefield heroes.

Help at this time, and you are close to me. If there is a big or small incident in Zhangjiacun that needs help in the future, whether it is the old man or He Shan and others, they will definitely not ignore it.

Similarly, the village chief of Liujia Village thought the same way, so when they were working on the second day, there were even more people working on the adobe...

Not to mention how busy the village was, it was just that Tai Jiye set off for the grassland with his caravan. When he passed by the gate of the county town, Manager Min was already waiting there.

He has been very busy recently. Otherwise, if Tai Jiye came back, he would have gone to Tai's house to join in the fun.

This time, he prepared some dry food for Tai Jiye to eat on the road, a dozen roast chickens, and two jars of pickles sold in the city.

Tai Jiye appreciated the kindness and said a few words affectionately before saying goodbye in a hurry.

The road went very smoothly, and we didn't worry about bandits at all, because we were so close to the border, and border troops would pass by on horseback at any time.

Even if the bandits have eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage, they still wouldn't dare to have fun here!
Tai Jiye was worried that his nephew would arrive at the military camp by himself, so he left the border pass, settled the convoy, and went straight to the border military camp with his nephew and the scale.

Before Hengqi was discharged from the army, he was also very powerful. The soldiers guarding the gate recognized him at a glance and shouted, "Oh, it's Brother Heng!"

Wengqi waved his hand, stepped forward and said with a smile, "How are you guys lately? I've been gone for so long, it's hard for you to still remember me!"

The gatekeeper laughed and said, "What did Brother Heng say? You are a person who is registered in front of the general. How could we not remember it?"

Hengqi's heart felt warm, but he still remembered the business. He pointed to the Tai family uncle and nephew behind him and said, "Brother, please go in and tell Mr. He Xiong He Qian that Tai Yong'an is here to report."

The soldier came over for a new shift and had never seen Yong'an, but he still ran in quickly, leaving the other soldiers chatting with Wengqi.

When He Xiong arrived, Heng Qi was telling the story of fighting the wolves. Although he missed catching up by one day, it didn't stop him from talking with excitement, as if he was actually there!

Tai Yongan echoed a few words from time to time, his face full of excitement.

Tai Jiye stood aside and lamented that weighing instruments should go into business, otherwise it would be a shame to talk like this! (End of chapter)
