Chapter 545 Late Wheat
These ten-odd pages of letters also contain letters written by Li Erxiong, Li Sanniang, and Li Erlang to Li Dalang.
In their letters, Li Erxiong and Li Sanniang mostly urged Li Dalang to prioritize his own life.
In his letter, Li Erlang wrote about his work at the Ministry of War's Assistant Department and also reassured Li Dalang.
"...Brother, you can rest assured while you're away. I'll take care of things at home. I miss you dearly, and I only wish for your safe return home."
As for Li Sanlang, Xiao Silang, and Luzhu'er, there are many more stories written about them, and they are completely disorganized.
For example, Xiao Silang even wrote down the fact that his dog, Xiao Huang, had given birth to three puppies, so that Li Dalang would know.
Dewdrop was even more interesting: "Brother, I've been eating and sleeping well at home. I miss you, brother. Let's go eat cakes together when you come home."
This was certainly not written by Lu Zhu'er; it was Li Sanlang who ghostwrote it for her.
Following this, there was a note written by Li Sanlang: "Elder brother, my aunt recently bought some cakes with white sugar inside on the street. Lu Zhu'er really liked them and said she wanted to save them to eat with you when she got back."
Even if you read slowly, you can finish reading more than ten pages of letters.
Li Dalang smoothed out the wrinkles on the letter, carefully folded it, put it back into the oil paper package, and then placed it close to his chest before turning around and going back into his tent.
What Li Dalang didn't know was that the entire Li family had agreed not to tell him that his sister-in-law was pregnant again.
One reason was that he was afraid that if Li Dalang knew about this, he would worry about Li Dasao's health, which would hinder his fighting on the battlefield.
Secondly, there's the quirky sense of humor of the Li family, or rather, of Li San Niang herself.
At that time, Li's mother was struggling with whether or not to write down the fact that Li's sister-in-law was pregnant. Li San Niang, who was standing next to her, said directly: "Mother, how can you write this down?"
If I write it down, won't that distract my eldest son from thinking about home?
Then it's better not to write it at all.
And, Mother, don't you think it would be interesting to tell Dalang that he has a younger brother or sister after he returns home?
"The expression on Dalang's face will definitely be hilarious then!"
Li's mother glared at Li San Niang's perverse sense of humor, but finally asked Li's sister-in-law, "Mother, don't tell him."
Whether he knows it or not, the child will be born.
Therefore, no one told Li Dalang about this in their letter, and even Li Sanlang and the others specifically instructed them not to say anything in their letter.
Li Dalang received the letter, and naturally, two other people in Shule City who were related to the Li family, or rather, to Li Sanniang, also received the letter.
Nineteen has been following Medical Supervisor Sun here for about two months now. In the medical tent, Nineteen has gone from being flustered and clumsy to becoming skilled and proficient. He has really experienced a lot.
Of course, during this period, Shijiu did indeed make contact with spies planted by the Bad Guys in the army and carried out several missions, some minor and some major.
However, most of the time, he mainly followed Physician Sun in the medical tent to treat and save people.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Li San Niangzi cares about you so much. I just received a letter from her, in which she specifically thanked me for bringing you out and asked me to be more tolerant of you and teach you more."
This was the first time Nineteen had received a letter. He had been a spy since childhood and had no relatives or friends. Who would write to him?
Looking at the words "To be opened by Nineteen" written on the envelope, Nineteen felt a bittersweet feeling for the first time.
"Hehe, Third Sister is thinking of me. She wrote in her letter that I should listen to you, Physician Sun, listen more, observe more, do more and talk less. She told me to learn diligently so that I can master all the skills."
Sun, the medical supervisor, smiled. He was actually quite satisfied with apprentice Nineteen.
The medical tents at the front lines are used to save soldiers who have lost limbs or are bleeding profusely. They need young men like Nineteen who are skilled in martial arts, energetic, and eager to learn.
Sun, the medical supervisor, had high hopes for Shijiu. He believed that if Shijiu were given another year to gain more practical experience in the frontline medical field, he would be more skilled than the young surgeons who had been working in the surgery department for many years.
Let's turn our attention back to Chang'an. Li San Niang looked at the invitation in her hand, deep in thought.
The post was sent by Bi Qionglan, yes, that time-traveling colleague who works in agriculture.
The post said that she invited them to come to the fields she managed to watch the wheat harvest.
Yes, it's them. Besides Li Sanniang, there are Xing Yu, Chang Siyuan, Ding Anbo, Ding Mingxuan, and Jiang Yijun.
The post explicitly stated: "I wish to discuss important matters with you all in the fields."
Holding the invitation, Li Sanniang was filled with anxiety, feeling that something big was about to happen.
Li San Niang, unfamiliar with farming, specifically asked Li Er Xiong for advice. She learned that Wu Family Village had also planted late wheat this year, and the harvest time was around the same time as Bi Qionglan's invitation.
Li San Niang then realized: "Grandma Bi's experimental base is probably in Wu Family Village!"
"Third Sister, what made you suddenly ask that?"
Li San Niang held up the invitation and gestured to Li Er Xiong, "Second Brother, someone has invited me, and it's an invitation I can't refuse."
"Aren't we going to help my second sister-in-law's family harvest wheat this year?"
"Ah, this year, the eldest son is at the border, the second son has to go to work, and the third and fourth sons are still young. I originally thought I could go by myself, and I could hire two more people to help me."
Turning her head, Li Sanniang asked Li Sanlang and learned that they were from a family with land. She felt that this was indeed a good opportunity.
“Mother, I plan to ask the doctor for three days off and take Luzhu with my second brother and sister-in-law to Wujia Village to check on the wheat harvest.”
The dewdrop has grown so big, and has never seen wheat before.
Although I don't expect Dewdrop to be anything special in the future, how can she be expected to succeed if she doesn't even recognize wheat?
I remember when I was little, my older brother would carry me on his back to watch people thresh wheat in the fields outside the city.
After discussing it with Li's father, Li's mother felt that what Li San Niang said made a lot of sense, so she decided to close the clinic for three days and have the whole family go to Wujia Village to help with the wheat harvest.
When Li San Niang went to Manager Gao to ask for leave, Manager Gao approved it very readily, implying that if Li San Niang wanted to take two more days off, that would be fine too.
Li San Niang dared not delay her shift at the clinic; in fact, she had only asked for a day off.
One of them was Li San Niang's ten-day rest day, and the other was a day off that Li San Niang had saved up from working on holidays.
In reality, it was just a one-day leave.
However, Li San Niang secretly thought that besides taking less leave, it was also because the wealthy families who often went out to make house calls with her gave her more consultation fees and a larger share of the profits for the clinic.
Because of the last paycheck, Li Sanniang received more than thirty taels of silver.
