Wang's little lady

It was the middle of winter in the thirteenth year of Daqing.

The Xie family handed over the last batch of sausages and the developed butcher shop to Zhao Jinyuan, leaving only some for their own use and as gifts.

Zhao Jinyuan's first two trips went very smoothly. Not only did he sell all the items, he even got some orders for next year.

Everyone has guessed that the sausages will be a big seller next year, and the current inventory alone is not enough to share.

In particular, Hong Bean also left some scattered in front of the door for sale, so that the people around could have a chance to try it.

If you can buy one, sell one.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and although Shimen Town is just a town, it is also planned to be lively, and lanterns and red silk have been hung up for a long time.

Every step of the way there was joyful.

The Xie family has completely gotten rid of the busyness. They only work for a few hours in the morning every day and don't have to go out. Their life is so comfortable.

As the new year is approaching, Mr. Xu specially held an exam for Tuan Geer and Xiaobao to test their learning achievements in the past six months.

Both children did well in the exam, and Hongdou specially rewarded them with freshly made candied haws, letting them eat enough at one time.

But Mr. Xu unexpectedly mentioned the Fang family.

"I'm afraid the border is not stable." Mr. Xu said worriedly. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and if a fight breaks out at this time, this year won't be easy either.

Especially in the cities near the border, the people are afraid that it will be difficult.

"Sir, is there going to be a war every year in Daqing?" Hongdou asked with a frown. She was born in a peaceful era, no matter how difficult the life of the common people was.

But they have never experienced war in person. At most, they have seen wars in other countries online. I didn’t expect to come here, and I didn’t escape.

"Little fights in the surrounding areas are unavoidable, especially in Mobei. The products are not as rich as in Daqing, and they are adjacent to Daqing. There will be a fight every New Year's Eve."

"But before Daqing, we had two generals from the Lin family and the Fang family. Unfortunately, most of the men from the Fang family died in the battle. Now only the Lin family is left."

"I'm worried that Mobei will launch a more violent attack this year." Although Mr. Xu is just a scholar, he will inevitably pay more attention to national affairs.

Hong Dou's heart tightened. If there is no other general in the court who can replace the Fang family, then?

Hongdou didn't dare to think about the consequences, and she didn't want to think about it. She just wanted her family to be safe. But if something happens to the country, how can they stay safe?

"Sir, isn't there an adult male in the Fang family in prison? Do you think His Majesty will take the opportunity to release the Fang family?"

"If a fight really breaks out, those people can't stop them?" After Hongdou said that, he felt a little whimsical.

This is the era of cold weapons, with strict classes, and politicians will definitely try their best to fight for power and gain.

But what if?

You have to have a country before you can have a home. If the country is gone, what's the point of fighting for more power?

Mr. Xu is not sure. After all, people in the DPRK only pursue profits. What happened to the Fang family was most likely caused by the betrayal of a certain minister in the court.

"I can't say for sure, but the border pass is still some distance away from Shimen Town, so it shouldn't affect this place. You can rest assured."

"You can live your life however you want. I keep in touch with my family and college. If there is anything unusual, I will also inform you."

Mr. Xu stayed in Shimen Town for several months and got along very well with the Xie family. There was no man in charge of the Xie family yet, so he had to take care of them a little more.

"Thank you sir." Hongdou thanked her sincerely. Having such an elder really helped her a lot.

"By the way, sir, are you going back for the Chinese New Year? If not, I invite you and Xiaobao to come to my house for a New Year's Eve dinner." "Grandpa Sun will be there too, and you can still talk. It's lively when there are many people."

Hongdou didn't want to keep talking about unhappy things, so she talked about the reunion dinner. Anyway, now the house is bigger and it won’t be so deserted if there are more people.

Mr. Xu is also considering whether to go back to celebrate the New Year this year. He actually doesn't care, but Xiaobao may be a little unhappy.

But it's not a problem for Xiaobao to be separated from his father all the time. The relationship between father and son also needs to be maintained, otherwise it will be no different from others.

"It's hard to say yet. I'll wait until I get a letter from home in two days before I can decide. If you stay here for the New Year, I'll go to your house to sit there."

Mr. Xu smiled and looked at Xiaobao who was having fun with Brother Tuan outside the door. In the past six months, Xiaobao's temperament has indeed improved a lot, and he is very pleased.

Hongdou has no objection. Anyway, he will inform everyone in advance. It is good to get together throughout the year. It's just that at the border, Hongdou was always not so optimistic.

Back home, Hongdou still felt uneasy and decided to stock up on more food at home. He had to buy it during the Chinese New Year anyway, so he just wanted to buy more food.

There are also many people in Zhuangzi, so they should stock up more. When the weather gets cold or it snows heavily, they don’t have to go out in the heavy snow. It’s very cold.

Nothing happened, Hongdou took Xiaoya and Ah Mao out every day to buy all kinds of things, including cloth, food, snacks, etc.

There are many children at home, especially Xie San and Xie Si rarely go out, so I might as well bring a few of the younger ones with them to get some fresh air.

Hongdou even made a special explanation to Dr. Sun. Just think that she is overthinking it.

After a few days like this, Hongdou received news from Mr. Xu.

"There's a fight at the border."

Although Hongdou had already expected it, when the news actually came to fruition, it still felt a bit unpleasant.

The weather is cold in winter, especially at the border. Who else is defending the city now?

"Sir, who is in charge of the Fang family's defense land now?" Hongdou couldn't help but ask.

Although the men of the Fang family were basically killed on the battlefield before, they still fought back the enemy troops. Now that Mobei is attacking, if there is no one in the court to replace them, what about Daqing?

Mr. Xu sighed after hearing this and couldn't help but say:

"This is exactly what I am worried about. As far as I know, there are no soldiers in the court who can compare with the Lin family and the Fang family. I'm afraid there are none."

Anko couldn't help but frown, this was not good news. Mr. Xu didn't want Hongdou to be under too much pressure. After all, this was not her business.

"Don't worry too much. There are so many people in the DPRK, and you can't even find two who don't know how to fight."

"Now he is the temporary successor of the Fang family's former general. He is somewhat capable, and with the support from the DPRK, I think it won't be a big problem."

Hongdou also knew that these things were not something they could worry about. Fortunately, she had collected a lot of things in the past few days.

Ten thousand yuan aside, if she really loses, the food in her house will last for a while, but that may not be the case for others.

Once the war breaks out, prices will easily fluctuate. No, no matter whether you win or lose, it’s not a bad thing to prepare more things.

"Sir, thank you for informing me of this news. I have been feeling very panicked these past two days. Please ask your servants to go out and stock up on more things."

"It doesn't hurt anyway. If it is true... it can last for a while."

Mr. Xu understood what Hongdou meant and had no objection. Who would have thought that losing a Fang family would cause such a big loss to Daqing.

Those people really only care about their own interests and have no regard for the people of the world. Being so selfish will definitely lead to retribution. (End of chapter)
