Upon opening her eyes, Shen Qing found herself in a mud-and-thatch hut, wearing clothes covered in patches, eating corn paste, and seeing no trace of meat or oil. Shen Qing: This is too miserable! ...
Chapter 445 Shen Qing really took good care of Huo Bing
Shen Qing thought very simply: no matter how good the career plan is, it is not as important as whether the person is willing to do it.
Huo Bing nodded honestly, then hesitated and said, "I can't bear to leave my mother."
In the past few months, she followed her grandfather in arranging troops and practiced spearmanship behind her three uncles and aunts. She understood her own heart and she really liked it from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't deny that she didn't feel it was dangerous to be stationed in Blackwater City. Instead, she felt a surge of passion and excitement.
But in all of this, the only person she couldn't bear to leave was her mother. She didn't want to leave.
Shen Qing smiled and said, “Fool, we are not like before now. We not only have donkey carts but also horse carts. It is common for the village team to go to Chenzhou and Blackwater City. I can also go with them.
Even if we see each other less often, we'll still see each other, right? Besides, even if you stay in the village, I'll be doing business or traveling around, so won't we still see each other less often?
Think carefully about it. Do you want to stay in the village and travel with me for business or pleasure, or stay in Blackwater City all year round? Once you figure it out, it will be easier to make a decision!"
Huo Qinglin on the side was stunned. She guessed that Shen Qing would not agree, and she also thought that she would agree, but she never thought that she would be so good at comforting Xiaobing.
Over the past few months, she listened to her daughter praising Shen Qing in various ways, and she was only grateful to her, grateful that she raised her daughter so well. At this moment, in addition to gratitude, she also admired her!
I admire you deeply from the bottom of my heart!
Who could do what Shen Qing did? She asked herself honestly that she couldn't do it, and she didn't have the ability to explain it so thoroughly.
Huo Bing lowered his head and thought for a long time, and when he looked up again, his eyes were firm.
She affirmed, "Mom, I want to go to garrison."
My mother is different from others. She believes that women can also do what they want to do. She does it herself and sets an example by herself, not just talking about it.
So my mother would go to different places and let her do what she wanted to do - as long as it was good and right.
She will not be treated differently just because she is a daughter-in-law and not a daughter.
"Okay, you are an adult now, you can make your own decisions. As a human being, you just need to be responsible for the path you choose." Shen Qing was actually relieved at this moment.
In the past, how could Ah Bing dare to express his inner thoughts so bluntly?
But there are no such opportunities.
Now she can control her own destiny and choose the path she wants to take according to her own wishes. Isn’t this a kind of progress?
Yes, going to Blackwater City may not be as comfortable as living in the village, but sometimes comfort is not the only criterion for measuring life.
The peaceful life we all lead is due to the hard work of some people.
The two of them finalized the matter quickly and simply, while Huo Qinglin, who was standing by, was still in shock.
She prepared many words of persuasion and thought of many reasons to convince herself to give up, but she never expected that none of them would be useful!
Shen Qing patted Huo Bing's slender hands and encouraged him, "Your hands are suitable for holding weapons, not spatulas. There are already many people holding spatulas. Don't waste the rare hands that can hold weapons.
And when you go to Blackwater City, no matter where it is, as the garrison commander and city lord, you will not only march and fight, but also benefit the local people. You must keep up with farming, animal husbandry, and humanistic care, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. If there are women suffering, you have the ability to help them. Let's practice cultivation in this world."
Having power is a very important thing. No matter whether men or women, only when they have power can they have the right to speak and help more people they want to help.
She could only do business, and mostly helped women in her own village and a few outside. But Ah Bing was different, she could help the whole city!
Huo Bing was originally thinking about what he loved to do, but now he felt a sense of heroism.
"Mom, I understand. This is what you told me before. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Don't worry, Mom. I was taught by you, and I will never let you down."
Shen Qing agreed. She had chosen the right person, and since he had passed the system certification, Ah Bing would do a good job without her having to remind him.
This child is kind at heart.
She turned to look at Huo Qinglin again and said sincerely, "I'll leave it to you from now on."
Huo Qinglin stood up unconsciously and assured her with great fear, "Don't worry! I will protect her even if it costs me my own life."
Shen Qing comforted her, "Swords have no eyes. You are all experienced people. Teaching her skills is the most important thing. Now that she has a crossbow, long-range attacks will not be a problem.
I will expand my business and buy large quantities of cattle and sheep to make the people of Blackwater City wealthy. When they become wealthy, their numbers will increase, and your defense of the city will be greatly enhanced."
Although Huo Qinglin would definitely stand in front of Ah Bing if something really happened, exchanging life for life is not an option. How could a daughter be willing to exchange her mother's life for her own?
What they have to do is to defend the city. They don't think about attacking others, but they can drive away others if they come to bully them. To defend the city, food, silver, money, people and weapons are all indispensable, and of course the more the better.
Huo Qinglin was in a trance for a moment.
She is Xiaobing's biological mother, but to be honest, she is not as good as Shen Qing. Whether in the past, now, or even in the future, she does not have Shen Qing's ability.
Shen Qing really took good care of Ah Bing.
She felt inferior to him.
However, she could not compare with Shen Qing in terms of food, property and weapons, and she would not force a competition. She would teach Xiaobing what she was good at.
As Shen Qing said, everyone has their own strengths. Xiaobing is not a child anymore. What she needs is not to protect her behind her, but to teach her skills.
*
The Huo family left reluctantly.
Before leaving, Shen Qing invited them to attend the opening of the spicy hot pot restaurant the day after tomorrow, and the four of them gladly agreed.
Jiang Xiangdong and Huo Bing stayed.
But it was only temporary. The Emperor had already spoken with General Huo. At the latest, after the first month of the new year, the Huo family's transfer order would be issued. Huo Bing needed to learn various practical combat experiences with swords, guns, clubs and clubs in these few short months.
You also need to read military books and learn military tactics, and remember the terrain of mountains and rivers...
Huo Bing only had the basics of martial arts learned before he was ten years old. It was almost impossible for him to catch up in a short period of time after wasting ten years. However, the battlefield was ruthless, and he could only pay several times the sweat and hard work to catch up as much as possible - the more skilled he was, the greater his chances of survival!
As for learning military tactics, fortunately, Shen Qing asked her family to learn to write and bought her several military books to read, which made General Huo praise her wisdom.
Remembering the terrain of mountains and rivers is actually the easiest thing for Huo Bing, but adding all three together is not easy at all!
Whether it is mental or physical strength, there is no way to rest and it needs to run at high speed.
Especially after the spicy hot pot restaurant stabilizes, Jiang Yu and Lei Dafu will return to the village to hold their wedding.
At that time, Huo Bing and Jiang Xiangdong will also go back together, one to watch the ceremony, and the other to see the two children and then take the children with them.
Therefore, there is not much time left for Huo Bing, and she needs to seize every minute and every second.
