Chapter 422 Come Back Soon
Lu Songli pretended not to know his resentment and teased him, "You want a son too? It's not impossible. My health is much better than before."
Qin Sheng shook his head like a rattle. He was frightened by his wife's words.
Of course he knew that his wife had been taking medicine to regulate her body over the past year, and he could also feel that his wife's health was better than before, as evidenced by the fact that she didn't feel as uncomfortable during her menstrual period.
But a son? Qin Sheng thought of his nephews and nieces at home and thought, forget about children.
A person's time and energy are limited. My wife is already so busy now. She may be even busier in the future. If we have another child, the time and energy he can devote to her will be even less.
Is there still room for him in front of Lili? The thought is terrifying. No, he has to find a way to prevent his wife from getting pregnant for the time being.
Lu Songli didn't know that Qin Sheng was imagining so much by himself.
"Lili, my brother and I have to go to the Xuantu military camp tomorrow." Qin Sheng's voice was muffled.
This is the order from my father-in-law.
Wu Chi, Lei Xin and the other three were invited by Lu Desheng to stay and leave with the Qin brothers the next day.
Qin Sheng was shocked at the thought that he wouldn’t be able to see his wife for a while.
He didn't want to go out on business at all. On a night like this in early winter, wouldn't it be nice to hold his sweet and soft wife in his arms?
"How long will it take?" Lu Songli was also reluctant to let Qin Sheng, the human-shaped furnace, leave.
The kang was still a little cold in the second half of the night. Every time at this time, she would squeeze into his arms and let him hold her to sleep.
Based on past experience, Qin Sheng estimated that it would not be easy to reorganize the military camps in Xuantu and Lelang counties.
But don't worry, they now have sufficient supplies, and the soldiers in the two county military camps must obey orders if they want to have enough food and clothing.
These are the advantages created for them by their wives.
"I'll be back as soon as possible. It's all my second and third brothers' fault for being so slow in suppressing the bandits!" Qin Sheng complained while hugging his wife.
If Qin Zhao were here, he would definitely retort him. It was obvious that he was too evil and outrageous, while their speed in suppressing bandits was normal.
"Second and third brothers' situation should be almost over." After all, after her father announced the bandit suppression, some of the bandits in Liaoxi County had moved to the neighboring Youbeiping County. She also received news that the Liaoxi County Lieutenant had also led troops to help.
…
With the distribution of winter vests, Pingzhou will begin recruiting soldiers, starting with Liaodong County.
Wen County, Xiagong Township, Village Chief's Home
The village chief respectfully escorted the officials from the county government out of the village.
Before leaving, the other party reminded him, "Pay more attention to the conscription and do more publicity."
"Now the government no longer enforces conscription. The practice of drafting one man from every three men in a household is gone. But we must be aware that protecting our homeland is everyone's responsibility. If no one wants to send their sons to the army, then when those Xianbei barbarians attack, we'll have no choice but to flee. But where can we escape to?"
"Life is so good now, how can you bear to let the Xianbei barbarians ruin it?"
The village chief nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, I will definitely pay attention to the conscription." Life is indeed good now. In the past, when the New Year came, people still couldn't bear to eat enough, because there was naturally not much surplus food at home.
Moreover, he had heard from the old centenarians in the village that the life they were living now was rare even in prosperous times.
"Uncle, I won't lie to you. The treatment for soldiers is much better now than before. If there are suitable young people, let them apply. Trust our governor, it will be worth it."
After the village chief sent the people away, on his way back, he happened to see his wife stroking the winter vest that the Wen County yamen runner had just brought her.
"Old man, this is really warm."
"Then you can wear this vest." The village chief began to pack the other two vests, which he would give away later. The vest his wife was holding was distributed by the government to the village chiefs.
The village head's wife refused, "You wear it, but I don't. I don't need to go out, and I have a kang burning at home, so it's warm."
The village chief thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let whoever goes out wear the vest."
"That's fine." It was too cold outside.
"Are these two items for Li Erhe and Tian Ming?" the village chief's wife asked curiously. She had just heard it in the house.
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes." The two men were veterans who had returned to the countryside. Giving them vests was a way for the government to take care of them.
"I'll deliver the winter clothes first."
"Go ahead."
When the village chief arrived at Li Erhe's house, before he even entered, he heard a lot of banging and knocking coming from inside.
"You are so useless. You have been a soldier for so many years. Just when you are about to see the light, you come back. The food, drink and other necessities of the soldiers are much better than before. You are really unlucky."
Li Erhe chopped wood without saying a word. When he returned from the army, he was given ten taels of silver by his superiors, and was not treated unfairly.
His wife was still nagging, "You can't get anything out of me even if I beat you with eight sticks! Why did I marry a piece of crap like you?"
The village chief came in. He walked up to Li Erhe and handed him the vest in his hand. "Brother Li Er, this is given to veterans like you. Take it."
Mrs. Li Er came out and took the clothes with a smile. "Village Chief, you are here? Is this clothes really given to my boss from above?"
The village chief said calmly, "Have you ever seen winter clothes like this?"
"I've certainly never seen that." Li Ersao touched the warm and soft winter clothes and smiled.
"The people above are always thinking about veterans like your husband. You will have to be less of a traitor in the future."
"I won't complain, I promise I won't." She was just upset, but she didn't dare to blame the generals for letting her husband go home and not being able to enjoy the benefits that came later. She could only curse her husband for being unlucky.
"Brother Li, several nearby villages are going to unite and form a militia next year. You're good at fighting, so you have to join."
"Okay, I'll join." Li Erhe nodded continuously.
"Village chief, are these militiamen paid?" Li Ersao asked hurriedly.
"Rest assured, our Pingzhou governor is Lord Lu, and the government will definitely treat us well. Also, don't be so focused on the money. The militia camp is here to protect our own people. What's wrong with doing some work for yourself?"
At this time, Li Erhe drove him away, "You have nothing to do here, go back to your room and get busy."
"Brother Li, let me tell you, our Liaodong County has started recruiting soldiers, and your second pillar..."
