Chapter 250 Shen Yi's Plan
Liu Jianzhang understood everyone's thoughts at a glance and was in a dilemma. "Captain Shen, in fact, we are helping you to earn a little money. We are here by the way, and there are only so many carriages, and we can only load so many things. In order to avoid too many things to be pulled away, we also have to bear the risks on the road ourselves, so the money for sending these things is not cheap.
Half a car costs fifty taels, how can ordinary people afford it? Besides, it's just a small amount of stuff, most people don't trust us, and they are worried that we will intercept the stuff on the way.
So, not many people know that they can send things, and even fewer are willing to spend the money, but it is understandable. If you have anything to say, you can tell me and I will bring it back for you, for free."
Everyone felt better and thanked Liu Jianzhang.
Liu Jianzhang felt embarrassed by everyone's praise, and before leaving, he said to Shen Yi: "There is one more thing. Your wife asked me to tell Shen Baichang that she gave birth to twins for you, a boy and a girl, and she hopes that you will return home safely and reunite."
"What! You said my wife gave birth to twins?" Shen Yi was so shocked that his whole body was shaking. He wanted to run back to Su Tai immediately. "Is she okay? How is she? Is there anything wrong?"
Liu Jianzhang was surprised and shook his head honestly, "When Madam Shen came to find me that day, she was calm and composed in her words and deeds, neither humble nor arrogant, her complexion was rosy, and she was in good spirits. She said that everything was fine at home, and she was just waiting for Shen Baichang to return home."
Shen Yi's eyes were red, he never cried when he was injured in the war, but now he was crying like a child.
Liu Jianzhang was moved when he saw it, and advised: “Chang Shen Bai, take care of yourself, I’m leaving first.”
After Liu Jianzhang left, others came forward to comfort him.
Song Yongnian, "Brother Shen, your sister-in-law gave birth to twins, which is a great joy. You should be happy. Oh! It would be great if my wife could send me some news!"
Their family conditions were there, and Su Yan didn't have Su Tai's abilities. Fifty taels was not a small sum for the three of them, mother and son. He could understand why Su Yan didn't send him anything.
At this moment, Su Sheng came in from outside holding a bundle, "Yongnian, here is a bundle for you."
Song Yongnian suddenly lost his composure, "Brother, you said it was for me?"
Su Sheng nodded as a matter of course, "The things were placed in my big box. I only found out after I opened it and found that it was marked. I guess my sister and the others wanted to save some money, so they didn't separate them."
Song Yongnian nodded repeatedly, without bothering to comfort Shen Yi. He took the bag and returned to his bed. He opened it in front of everyone and found a set of thick clothes and shoes, as well as several bottles of medicine and some food. It looked very similar to Shen Yi's things, and most likely it was obtained from Su Tai.
In addition to these, there are two or three crudely crafted wooden sculptures, which are of Su Yan and two children.
Song Yongnian burst into tears when he saw the wood carving.
Others were also infected and couldn't help sighing in their hearts.
Shen Yi opened the box.
Su Chunlin came over and looked at it eagerly, "I don't know what Xiaotai gave you. What more do you have than me?"
Listen, the father-in-law is so jealous that he is about to burst out.
Shen Yi smiled bitterly and took out the things inside one by one.
Su Chunlin looked carefully and finally his eyes fell on the box. "I have everything else but this one. What good things don't I have a share of? It turns out that girls are extroverts. They are different after getting married!"
"Father-in-law! Xiao Tai is not the kind of person you think she is." Shen Yi said as he opened the box, revealing the jade inside.
Su Chunlin did not move, but Su Chunsen was somewhat knowledgeable and was immediately surprised, "This is jade! There is mutton-fat white jade in it. The things in this box are not cheap! Where did Xiaotai get such a valuable thing?"
Shen Yi frowned slightly and carefully examined the box. He found that there were exquisite paintings engraved inside the box. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a carving on the box itself, but a closer look revealed the clue. It was Su Tai conveying information to him.
He quickly poured out the jade and stared at the carving carefully. After about a quarter of an hour, he finally understood the meaning of it. A warm current flowed through his heart and tears welled up in his eyes again. "Xiao Tai, with a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for!"
Su Chunsen was still confused, while Shen Yi packed up the jade and said thoughtfully, "I heard that the military camp replaces a group of veterans and injured soldiers who can no longer go to the battlefield every year. I'll go and see, maybe I can let you return home."
Su Chunlin and Su Chunsen are already in their forties, and even Chen Zhuang is almost forty, so they are considered old in the military camp.
Few veterans of the battlefield are still alive today. If they stay any longer, they will easily attract attention from their superiors. If the armor they are wearing is discovered, it will bring trouble to Su Tai.
It's not a good thing anyway, and the best way is to let them return home on the grounds of being disabled veterans.
The eyes of the Su Chunlin brothers lit up at the same time.
"What about you?" Su Chunlin asked.
Shen Yi smiled bitterly, "Father-in-law, I am now the captain of a hundred, I can't just leave whenever I want. It's better for you to leave. If you really go to the battlefield, I don't have to worry about you all the time, let alone take care of you."
This may not sound good, but it is the truth.
After several battles, they were almost in danger, and Shen Yi contributed to it.
Before, Shen Yi was not a centurion, so he had no pressure to help them. But now that he has become a centurion, it would be bad if he continued to show favoritism.
After figuring out the key, Su Chunlin gritted his teeth and patted his thigh, "Okay! I'll listen to you, but we can't cause you any trouble. We'll hold on until spring, and then we'll go to the battlefield. Then we'll pretend to be injured, and you can walk for us. This way it won't be considered concealing the truth."
Su Chunsen nodded repeatedly.
Shen Zhuang knew about this plan, and after careful consideration, he also expressed his support for Shen Yi's approach.
Because of this plan, no one had the mood to chat anymore.
Chen Yi shared the bread and cake that Su Tai gave him with other brothers, and kept the braised beef for himself to eat slowly.
In the blink of an eye, spring came and the snow melted, and the busy farming season began, which meant that war was about to begin.
The marshal in the army trained his troops day and night.
If it were in the past, Su Chunlin and the others would have been very serious, but now, they were feeling hurt, so they were a little perfunctory and started talking about the weather.
"This winter is obviously much colder than previous years. It should have rained by now, but there is no rain at all. I wonder if there will be another drought?" Shen Zhuang was worried.
"Bah! Don't be such a pessimist. You can't bring up such a serious drought! Besides, we have dug so many wells in our village. They are not just for show." Su Chunlin retorted.
Chen Zhuang thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he immediately shut up.
But the feeling of worry is still lingering in everyone's mind and has not gone away just because it is not mentioned.
