Chapter 280 Huai Ge'er is gone

Su Rouer also liked Zhao Meng very much, so she discussed with Yu Sanbao that Ju Ge'er would go to the county school to start his education after the new year. Since he had such a good relationship with A Meng, they might as well send A Meng over as well, so that A Meng could study with Ju Ge'er, and the two of them could keep each other company.

The tuition fee was nothing to the Yu family, but it might be a heavy burden for Mrs. Pan. So it would be better for them to pay A Meng's tuition fee directly.

Yu Sanbao naturally had no objection.

Mrs. Wei had no objection either.

Mrs. Pan was very excited. She knew that if Amon wanted to have a good future, the best way was to study.

But the tuition fees in the county were beyond the affordability of a family like theirs.

At present, the Yu family is willing to help Amen to repair, but Pan is not willing to get something for nothing, so he wants to come to the Yu family to work and help.

Mrs. Wei knew Pan's personality, so she decided to let her live in the backyard of the Yu family's shop. First, Pan was attentive, patient, and decent, and could help take care of the Yu family's brothers, including her own son, A Meng. Second, Pan was also working for the Yu family, and part of her salary could be used to offset the dowry, and the rest could be saved for the daily expenses of Pan and A Meng.

This is just one example.

Pan was so moved that she wanted to kneel down to Mrs. Wei, but Mrs. Wei pulled her up.

So the matter was settled.

When Ju Geer heard that Amon would go to school with him, he didn't object. He just thought that he couldn't run around the village anymore, and he felt very sad for a while.

The Chinese New Year will be here soon.

This was the first New Year's Eve after the Yu family moved into the big courtyard, and the Yu family attached great importance to it. Early in the morning of New Year's Eve, Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng, along with the curious Ah Wu, began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner - although they said they were preparing it, they were actually not tired at all, and the slightly strenuous work was done by the maids.

Mother Wei sent people to invite Old Lady Liu, Grandma Da Xi, and even the old Taoist priest and Wei Shiyan from the nameless Taoist temple on the mountain.

Old Lady Liu and Grandma Da Xi did come, but the old Taoist priest and Wei Shiyan declined their invitation, saying that due to his previous vow to practice Buddhism, Wei Shiyan generally could not go down the mountain. The old Taoist priest naturally would not leave Wei Shiyan alone to have the New Year's Eve dinner at the Yu family.

Yu Yonghuai hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to spend the New Year with his master and fellow apprentices in the mountains, but he was ruthlessly driven down the mountain by the old Taoist priest.

The whole family gathered together happily and peacefully, spending a lively and lively New Year's Eve.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Old Lady Liu waved her hand and Lao Mao came in carrying a very heavy box.

The box was filled with New Year's gifts of various sizes for the Yu family.

All the younger members of the Yu family, from Yu Yonghuai to the youngest Bangger, received a small carp made of gold as a New Year's gift from Old Lady Liu, which was inspired by the idea of ​​a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate.

It was just that Old Lady Liu was very blatantly partial to Xingxing, and gave her a set of red agate jewelry suitable for girls. Old Lady Liu said, "Our Xingxing is a pretty girl, so she should be dressed up well."

After distributing the money to the younger generation, Old Lady Liu was not done yet, and she started giving New Year money to Yu Daniu and the others.

Everyone of Yu Daniu's generation was stunned.

Old Lady Liu said seriously, "You and Ah Wu are of the same generation. Ah Wu is my granddaughter, so you are naturally my juniors... You don't want to take it? If you don't take it, you are looking down on me!"

Who dares to look down on a university bachelor?

Yu Daniu and his companions said in fear and trepidation that they dared not, then glanced at Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu, and saw that both of them nodded with a smile, so they accepted the gifts.

Grandma Da Xi had previously been a doctor for Old Lady Liu, and later because of the relationship with the Yu family, she had been taking care of Old Lady Liu's health, and the two became very familiar with each other.

Da Xi Si Po couldn't help but spit out a "Pah": "They say you intellectuals are very thieves, I think it's true! I only prepared some New Year's money for the younger generation, doesn't this make me look less thoughtful than you?!"

Old Mrs. Liu laughed heartily, feeling very proud.

Outside, there was a chilly wind and heavy snow.

The charcoal brazier in the house was burning brightly, the wine was warm, the food was fragrant, there were laughter and joy, and the whole place was filled with happiness and joy.

Xingxing's little face was warmed by the heat in the room. She held the fruit drink that Li Chunhua had made especially for them as children. Her eyes were sparkling and she silently wished in her heart that their family could always be so happy and harmonious.

However, a major incident occurred in April a year later.

The Western Di tribes at the border frequently invaded, and the people living there suffered miserably.

The imperial court originally sent people to negotiate, but the Western Di beheaded the envoys and even hung their heads in front of the battle array, trying to provoke them to the utmost.

The emperor was furious and ordered the border generals to defend the country to the death and fight to the death with the Western Di.

However, the Jin family, who were guarding the border, defected at this time. The border generals were leaderless, and the Xidi army marched straight in, captured three border cities in succession, and carried out brutal massacres in the three border cities!

When the news came, the people were all filled with indignation. Even in this remote Mapo County, people were discussing the border war situation everywhere.

Yu Sanbao was discussing with Mrs. Wei that day, saying that the Chamber of Commerce in the county had made a donation for the Western Di invasion of the border, and that their Yu family store should also do their part.

Mrs. Wei felt it was very reasonable.

When the two were discussing the details, they suddenly heard a maid come and say that there was an old Taoist priest outside the door who said he was the eldest young master's master and had something to tell them.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly got up and went out to greet them in person.

Mrs. Wei was still wondering why Taoist Qin came.

As a result, when they met, Mrs. Wei saw that the old Taoist priest looked unhappy, and her heart skipped a beat: "Master Qin, what happened? ..."

The old Taoist took a deep breath and took out a piece of paper from his arms.

He said in a deep voice: "...Brother Huai left a letter saying he was going to the border."

Mrs. Wei staggered, couldn't catch her breath, and almost fell down.

The fact that Huai'er left a letter and went to the border obviously completely devastated the Yu family.

Li Chunhua was going crazy and ran out crying, saying she wanted to find Huai Ge'er.

Yu Daniu grabbed Li Chunhua and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you hear what Taoist Priest Qin said? Yesterday, Huai said he wanted to go home and left the temple. But when Taoist Priest Qin saw that Huai hadn't returned yet, he felt something was wrong and found the letter he left behind. Huai has been gone for at least two days and one night! How can we find him?"

Li Chunhua broke down and cried, "We have to find him no matter what! He is still a child. If he goes to that border, those barbarians will kill him!"

Yu Daniu's face turned pale, but he held Li Chunhua: "...Since he wants to join the army, let him go! Other people's sons can go to defend their country, why can't he?"
