Wei Ji put down his teacup and asked, "What's the reward?"
Wei Xiyin then told him about how her brother protected her cousins.
"Erlang was very brave and protected all the cousins, so my granddaughter promised him that she would give him a reward when she returned."
Wei Lang was very happy when he heard his sister praising him to his grandfather. He also said to his grandfather, "My sister promised me red eggs."
"Okay, red eggs."
Wei Xiyin smiled and said to him, "Besides the red eggs, I have another reward for you."
When Wei Lang heard this, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
Wei Xiyin asked, "Erlang, do you want to be the headmaster?"
"Sister will give you a team of people, and you will lead them in training and completing tasks in the future." Children will have to be independent sooner or later. It is not a good thing for them to run around outside all day except for training time.
When Wei Lang heard this, his eyes lit up surprisingly. In his opinion, the squad leader was an "official" and he would also be an official in the future.
He quickly responded loudly: "Yes!"
Wei Xiyin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, tomorrow I'll ask Chang Ying to select a team for you. You have to manage them well and work hard to complete the mission, okay?"
"Know!"
Wei Ji drank tea silently on the side, looking at his grandson who was laughing foolishly without saying a word. Your sister has dug such a big hole for you, and you can still laugh.
Now all the troops have their own tasks. In addition to daily training, they are also responsible for the security inside and outside the fort, patrolling Crow Mountain, transporting food, shipping stones, doing various chores, etc.
Sometimes zombies are found outside and they may be dispatched at any time.
The work of the soldiers is the hardest, most tiring and also the most dangerous. The sergeant is considered the captain of the team. If his subordinates do not perform well, the sergeant will also be punished.
Silly kid, you don't know anything except a little bit of force, so just wait to be punished.
But Wei Lang didn't know.
He thought happily that since his grandfather and father were both officials, he would also be an official in the future.
Seeing his brother laughing foolishly, Wei Xiyin didn't dare laugh out loud.
After a while, Wei Wenkang came back from outside and the servant informed him that it was time to eat.
Three-year-old Wenkang has become stronger and more lively. He is no longer as shy as before and will now take the initiative to say hello when he sees strangers.
When he lived in the underground palace, Wen Kang stayed with some children from the tribe. Now the children did not have to go to the tribe school, so they played in the fort every day.
You can run around anywhere, and no one will care as long as you don't leave the dock.
Wei Ji did not restrain him. It was impossible for him to let the child stay in the main courtyard all day to accompany an old man like him.
Besides, it's better to be tough. In the future, the men of the Wei family will have to learn martial arts, which will be good for them. At least before the clan school reopens, the children can still play for a while.
After having dinner in the main courtyard, the brother and sister took their leave.
Wei Xiyin returned to her own Chaoxi Courtyard.
There was only Ningshuang, a servant, in the yard, and it looked quite deserted. It was late at night and it was pitch black everywhere, with only a faint light coming from the hall.
Ningshuang knew that the girl would be back today and had been waiting in the house.
Seeing her come in, Ning Shuang knelt and saluted, "Girl, the hot water is ready."
Wei Xiyin nodded and asked about the situation of the female relatives with concern.
"My dear, the ladies and wives of each family have been busy making summer clothes recently. There are also some seeds in the tribe that need to be soaked and sorted. The young men of each family need to go out to cultivate the land and build the city walls. Mingjingtang will leave these light tasks to the women."
The girl was often not at home, so Ningshuang followed the female family members to do things during the day.
She was weak and timid, so she could only help the tribe with more work.
"By the way, young lady, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but a lady from a branch branch was found to be pregnant while in the underground palace, and she's now almost five months pregnant." Ning Shuang casually discussed the matter. "A few days ago, Mingjing Hall sent some goat milk and eggs over there. Now, apart from the elderly and children in the fortress, the only one who has eggs and goat milk is that lady."
When Wei Xiyin heard this, she thought it was a good thing.
The birth of a newborn means the continuation of the next generation of the Wei family.
She smiled and said, "That's right. This is the first newborn baby to appear in the fort in such a long time, so the tribe naturally attaches great importance to it."
It’s a pity that I don’t have any good gifts to give.
Wei Xiyin said, "The baby is still a few months away from being born. Take apart one of my clothes and make two pairs of clothes for the baby. Send them to him when the time comes."
Ningshuang responded in a low voice.
The master and servant chatted for a while, and Wei Xiyin took her clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.
There was a rustling sound outside.
Wei Xiyin heard the noise and walked out of the house.
Ning Shuang said in surprise: "Girl, it's raining."
It hasn't rained for a long time since last autumn.
In Ningshuang's opinion, the rain came at the right time. The reservoir had just been built and most of the vegetable seeds had been planted, so everyone didn't have to work hard to carry water for irrigation and store water.
Wei Xiyin felt her heart tighten, staring at the tiny raindrops in the darkness, lost in thought. She thought of the extraordinarily lush vegetation outside and the polluted river water...
The spring rain brings clear days and the summer is full of grain and heat.
Spring is a rainy season, with continuous drizzles and everything growing...
Raining at this time is not necessarily a good thing.
But there is nothing they can do right now. As ordinary people, they can only watch God and the virus play tricks on them.
All night long.
Wei Xiyin couldn't fall asleep listening to the crackling sound of rain coming from the roof.
Day finally broke, but the drizzle had not stopped yet.
There was a drizzle outside the house, and the raindrops dripped along the eaves onto the stone steps, lingering on and on.
Wei Lang came to find his sister early in the morning, arrived at Chaoxi Courtyard, and sat in the hall waiting eagerly.
My sister said that she would go to the camp today and let Chang Ying choose subordinates for her.
Wei Xiyin didn't have time to pay attention to him. She quickly packed up, put on her straw raincoat and left the yard.
Seeing that his sister was about to go out, Wei Lang quickly stood up. Ningshuang helped Erlang put on the rain gear and followed the girl.
The brother and sister, along with Ningshuang, came to the corner where vegetables were planted.
A large area of sunflower leaves covers the ground very tightly, growing in clusters. The heart-shaped tender green leaves grow very lush, and the leaves covered with water droplets look even more tender.
But she just came back yesterday and didn't pay attention to how the sunflowers grew in the past few days.
She could only say, "Ningshuang, go call Uncle Wu."
Ningshuang left as soon as she was told, walked through the corridor to avoid the drizzle, and soon went to the main courtyard to call Uncle Wu.
"Uncle Wu, take a look, have these seedlings changed?" Wei Xiyin asked directly.
Uncle Wu didn't know what she meant. He walked closer and observed her carefully for a moment before replying, "My lady, I just checked yesterday and the dish hasn't changed much."
Even if he grows faster, there won't be much change overnight. I don't know why the girl called him here specifically.
Wei Xiyin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. As long as the vegetables were fine, she was worried that something might happen to the vegetables that had just been planted on the mountain.
As for the rest, just leave it to fate.
