Xie Yu also spoke up, "Sister Song said that if you don't have kung fu, attack from a distance, and if you have kung fu, attack from close range. If you can't win, run away as soon as possible to avoid becoming cannon fodder."
Sure enough, everyone was resting at this moment, and the men on the high wall were throwing spears made of bamboo at the targets below.
Zong Yi drew a circle on a wooden board with bamboo charcoal and said, "Wang Gangzi will add two slices of meat tonight, and Zeng Zhi will add one slice of meat."
Wang Gangzi raised his fist excitedly and laughed at everyone, "Thank you, thank you."
Xie Quan found it interesting, so he went over, picked up a sharp bamboo and threw it downwards. The bamboo pole steadily pierced into the target.
"This is indeed a bit difficult. It requires some strength and accuracy. In this case, why not shoot arrows?" Xie Quan asked.
Zong Yi stood up and came over, and Xie Yu introduced the two of them to each other.
Zong Yi cupped his hands and said, "Those who can throw flying spears may not necessarily be able to shoot arrows. As the boss said, practice what you are good at."
No one expected that after practicing archery for a period of time, the best performance was actually Liu Youfu, followed by Ren Dahai and Wu Xinlian, as well as Ma Yong and Qin Xiuxiu, and Wen Xiaohua and Wu Datou were also good at archery.
After Zong Yi finished speaking, he told everyone to go back and continue building the wall.
After everyone left, Xie Quan looked at the wall carefully. With this width and thickness, isn't it the city wall?
At this time, several people carrying mud bricks saw Xie Yu, and they all called him "Master Xie" with a smile, and then went back to their own work after saying hello.
Xie Quan was still thinking about the wall in front of him. The moment he heard the word "Teacher Xie", he suddenly raised his head and looked at his daughter. Xie Yu was 12 years old this year and was still childish in every aspect. Even though he had always known that Xiaoyu was a teacher in the school, he had never felt it was real and had always treated her as a child playing house.
It seemed that at this moment he truly knew his daughter, and that she was actually a remarkable person.
After coming down from Dongshan, Xie Quan decided to keep Xiaoyu here, but he still asked Song Yuehua, "If something happens, can you guarantee that Xiaoyu will get inside the compound wall immediately?"
"I can guarantee it." Song Yuehua said.
When Xie Quan was about to leave the village, Xie Yu sent him to the entrance of the village and said, "Dad, our whole family will come over. With such a high wall, we will definitely be safe."
Xie Quan rubbed his daughter's head and said helplessly, "Father is from Xinan Village, so he naturally has to protect his own village. You have Miss Song to protect you, so Father has nothing to worry about."
“Father…”
Xie Yu looked reluctant, and Xie Quan joked, "Master Xie, please don't cry, otherwise how can you teach others in the future?"
"I..." Xie Yu puffed up her cheeks and said, "I didn't cry!"
"My daughter has made great progress. Everyone in Xinan Village knows that my daughter, Xie Quan, has become a teacher. Even men may not be able to have such ability."
Xie Quan laughed and said, "Xiaoyu, don't worry about the village. With your second and third uncles here, nothing will happen."
Looking at Xie Quan's leaving back, Xie Yu felt sad, but when he thought that his elder brother and Xiaoyu were both doing well in Qingzhou, he felt it would be too pretentious if he continued to act like this, so he slapped his face hard before going back.
As soon as she got home, Song Yuehua saw the slap mark on Xie Yu's face and immediately stood up and asked, "Did you have a fight with your father?"
Xie Yu, "..."
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Yuehua baked a basket of steamed buns and put the stewed braised pork in it. Dabao took a bite and got a mouthful of oil. His mouth was full and he asked, "Sister, is this also a mooncake?"
"Is it delicious?" Song Yuehua asked.
Dabao nodded repeatedly and said, "It's delicious. It's really delicious."
Song Yuehua spread a lot of red bean paste on the other half of the steamed bun. Not only Xiaobao liked this taste, but Xiaoyu and Lady Xia also liked it. It was sweet, soft and sticky when you took a bite.
Several people ate in the backyard at night. If they were seen by others at this time, they would inevitably feel unbalanced.
This year's Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival were both quite sloppy. Song Yuehua was hoping that it would rain sooner so that she could have a good festival when the weather was good.
September 26th was the 4th birthday of Dabao and Xiaobao. Song Yuehua had already filled the two little jars, but she still asked the two little ones if they wanted anything else.
Dabao wants a bow and arrow, and Xiaobao wants to eat mung bean cakes.
"Just mung bean cakes?" Song Yuehua asked again.
It is completely understandable that Dabao wants a bow and arrow. He broke his previous bow and we didn't have time to buy him a new one.
As for Xiaobao, her favorite dish is Baihua Cake. Now that the Baihua Cake shop is closed, Song Yuehua was thinking about whether she should find a way to reproduce it herself, but she didn't expect that Xiaobao wanted mung bean cake.
The two little ones' wishes were relatively easy to realize. They could make mung bean cakes at home. As for bows and arrows, Song Yuehua found a bamboo craftsman and asked him to try to make bows and arrows. If this skill was mastered, it would be beneficial to the village.
On the birthday, Song Yuehua prepared a table full of delicious dishes, which the two little ones ate until their bellies were full.
Song Yuehua poured a bowl of digestive tea for everyone and said with a smile, "Today is your fourth birthday. After this year, you will be five years old. Do you know what this means?"
The two kids looked up, confused, and saw Song Yuehua and Xie Yu looking at each other and smiling, "It means that whoever falls asleep in class again will be spanked by Master Xie."
Dabao: “…” This is directed at him.
Song Yuehua didn't think that life would always go on like this, but she didn't expect this day to come so early.
The wall of Dongshan compound is still far from being completed, but the wall and the high tower at the entrance of the village are under construction day and night. The two high walls have just been built, and now the villagers are building the outer wall.
