Chapter 228 Arrangement
An Xu was about to pick figs. The old root of the fig tree that she exchanged with the merchants from the Western Regions when she set up a stall before had already grown densely and densely packed with fruit.

Hearing Zong Che who came back not long after leaving the house, said this, he was so surprised that he even put the bamboo basket aside.

"What? Second uncle and third uncle?"

An Xu is not very familiar with these two uncles. At the beginning, they didn't take care of the life of An Xu's siblings. Later, An Xu asked An's family to start a sugar business, which was also helped by the uncle's family.

I don't have soda noodles on weekdays, and I only meet at my uncle's house during the holidays.

But in An Xu's impression, the second uncle and the third uncle are all kind-hearted people.

"Didn't Uncle say that they will guard De'an Mansion?" Could it be that the south has become so chaotic that even De'an Mansion is not stable?
Zong Che said: "It was a shopkeeper of the Fang family who sent them here. According to them, there are rebellious troops everywhere in the south, and the imperial court has no power to control them."

An Xu: "Since we're here, let's go and have a look."

Zong Che also meant the same thing.

Regardless of whether they have good feelings for the second and third uncles of the An family, they are all relatives of Xu'er in name. In this chaotic world, it is even worse for them to wander outside in the name of their own family.

So An Xu and Zong Che were in a military tent outside, and saw the second and third uncles who were eating meat and bones without lifting their heads, and other An family members who were like scavengers.

As for the other two people from Linhe Village, they were placed in another camp.

Just as An Xu and Zong Che appeared at the entrance of the camp, the second and third uncles, who were in tatters from hair to clothes, threw bones and were about to come forward.

It was just in response to the words of fellow villagers with tears in their eyes when they saw fellow villagers.

Zong Che raised his hand to block it, and the second uncle who was rushing ahead stopped immediately.

Although Anjia's life has been better these years, and I have seen some officials in the yamen, but someone as dignified as Zong Che can still make their calves tremble.

Uncle An raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, choked up and said, "Xu'er, we can be considered alive to see you."

An Xu smiled awkwardly, turned around and asked the guard outside, "Have you notified Uncle?"

"The Grand Master has been notified," said someone outside.

An Xu said: "It's all here, uncle and uncle just need to be at ease."

An Sanbo said: "We still have money in our hands, so we won't drag you down. It's enough to let us have a stable place where we won't be bullied by the reputation of our niece and son-in-law."

This is to reassure An Xu that they will not stay here forever.

An Xu smiled, she likes to explain everything clearly.

It's just that before the third uncle said this, the second uncle looked at the third uncle as if he was looking at some monster, pointed to his nose and cursed: "Okay, third brother, the four of us have been treacherous since we were young. You still If you have money, how much money do you have at home?"

As soon as he said that, he was about to start a body search.

The two sons of An Sanbo's family, who were squatting at the table watching their children eat and drink, rushed up immediately.

The third aunt also came to help.

It hit in the blink of an eye.

"Second brother, who is the treacherous? This means that your family has no money left? Who are you fooling? When you go out, who doesn't hide a few stacks of silver notes in your belt? It's impossible to be snatched up. Isn't crying poor now, just looking at the idea of ​​asking Xu'er again?"

"Back when Xu'er's parents were gone, our family discussed how to raise their brothers and sisters. If you two don't show your conscience, it's not enough to take advantage now."

"Ladies, what are you talking about?"

This is the second aunt who was reluctant to put down the white flour steamed bun in her hand also came on stage.

An Xu was pulled aside by Zong Che, and he yelled "stop beating" several times, but no one listened.

"Come on," Zong Che blocked An Xu with one hand, led her back a few steps, and said to the neatly armored guards who came in after hearing the sound, "Take them all."

He only heard the news during the training, and then felt that he was the head of his family and should go out. When An Chong came over, he saw his second uncle and third uncle squatting in the camp tent next to each other like beggars.

My sister was sitting on a round stool and talking, while my brother-in-law was sitting on the other side with a sullen face.

"Okay, Hu'er, we will listen to whatever you arrange." An Sanbo agreed.

Although Uncle An felt that he didn't get the big deal he imagined, but seeing the corner of the armor from the corner of his eye, he also agreed: "Okay, I will follow your arrangement."

"Second Uncle and Third Uncle, Second Uncle and Third Uncle," An Chong put his fist on his lips, adjusted his expression before walking in, "How did you get here? Are you all okay?"

Immediately, Uncle An's eyes felt hot, he got up and took An Chong's hand, and said repeatedly: "But your brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews have suffered."

After all, the nephew is his own family, and when the daughter marries, she becomes an outsider.

Of course, Uncle An only dared to think about such a thing, but did not dare to say it.

An Xu turned to Zong Che and said, "Go and do your work, I can handle it here."

Zong Che said: "It's okay, it's the second uncle and the third uncle. I'll settle them down with you."

His face has more mature lines of a man, and after nearly two years of training in the barracks, his whole person is more stern and calm than the Er Xiaoche that has always remained in An Xu's memory.

Just a simple sentence uttered has the power to calm people's hearts infinitely.

An Xu has been getting along with him all the time, and he still doesn't have a clear feeling about this point. When the second uncle and the third uncle heard this sentence, their hearts were still half-hanging, and their hearts fell steadily in an instant.

Uncle An perked up his ears to hear what his niece and son-in-law said, and he took An Chong to talk about the difficulty of the journey, and shook his head regretfully, saying: "You should listen to your elder brother, you should listen to your elder brother. Chonger, You don't know, within five or six days after your uncle left, the De'an mansion was occupied by a rebellious army. All the rich people in the city, the men, were all pulled out and opened, but the women were killed. In order to reward those mud-legged whores."

Speaking of this, An Chong asked doubtfully, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Cousins, and the others didn't come?"

The same goes for the uncle's house, and none of the three cousins ​​came together.

The second uncle and the third uncle's family, but there are two unmarried cousins, and they are nowhere to be seen.

"Brother Chong, we are here."

When asked, the two unmarried cousins ​​of the second uncle and third uncle's family made weak voices.

It turned out that they were all dressed like boys for the purpose of going on the road, with muddy ditches on their faces and hands, and they were still wearing brown linen clothes.

Huddled in a corner, as inconspicuous as two quails.

It was only then that An Xu thought of them. When she left Linhe Village for the capital three years ago, the two cousins, like her, who were still married daughters, were not yet eight years old.

I haven't seen them for three years, and I don't know the second uncle and third uncle's family well, so An Xu doesn't remember them.

The girl must have suffered even more, she got up and went outside to ask the guards to inform Aunt Wu to fetch some clothes she didn't wear.

As for the men of the second uncle and the third uncle's family who want to change, they can just get it directly from the soldiers' clothes supply in the barracks.

After talking for a while, Uncle An's family came over.

The three brothers still had some quarrels when they were in their hometown, but when they saw each other at this moment, they all supported each other with arms and tears in their eyes.

Seeing that they had a lot to say, An Xu and Zong Che retreated first.

An Chong followed and said to An Xu: "Sister, I still have money in hand, I will arrange for the three uncles."

An Chong's idea is very simple. He doesn't care if his uncle, second uncle, and third uncle's family have money. After all, they have defected here. He used his own money to buy a tent for them near the military camp, so that when they first arrived in the north For a while, if you are not hungry or cold, you will be doing your duty.

An Xu laughed: "I don't need you, they all have money in their hands. Huoliang City moved out with the Su family some time ago, and they also left several families. There is an empty courtyard in the inner city. When I asked, the second uncle and the third uncle scrambled to take care of it." use the money to buy a house.”

It is impossible for her to pay for them to buy a house. At most, what Chonger said is to give them a tent.

But if you tell them that the yards in the city are the lowest price now, it will be difficult to sell them when there are more and more people in the northern border. It must be that they bought them with money without urging them.

An Chong didn't know his sister's plan yet, so he said, "I'm a male, and I should take care of these things."

"Of course you can't let go," An Xu pointed to a camp on the east side, "There are still two near clans who settled down there, you can ask later if they want to enter the city or stay outside the city .”

An Chong: - - -
"If you go to the city, you can raise money to buy a house yourself. There is no good chance. If you stay outside the city, you will have a free tent and you have to go to the grassland to open up wasteland."

An Chong nodded: "Okay, I'll go. It's just my sister, if the second aunt and the third aunt bother you, just tell me."

"Okay," An Xu smiled, and raised his hand to rub his brother's soft hair, "When I grow up, I know how to take the lead."

An Chong was embarrassed, turned around and took two steps away, waved his hands and said: "Sister, you and brother-in-law go and do your own work, I'm here."

Holding his hand with a warm and firm hand, An Xu raised his head, looked at Zong Che and said with a smile, "What's the matter, do you want to eat this bit of vinegar?"

Zong Che coughed and said, "No. I see that you were carrying a basket just now, and you were going to pick something. I will accompany you."

"Stop training?"

"Stay with you for a while." Zong Che said very reasonably, "Although the second uncle and the third uncle are defecting, it can be said that relatives have come, a few dishes still need to be prepared. I'll get some ribs and help you The dishes are ready."

Of course, they can just go to the canteen of the military camp without doing anything, but based on Zong Che's understanding of An Xu, she will definitely cook two dishes by herself.

An Xu thought for a while and said, "Second uncle and third uncle didn't have enough meals on the way. The sergeants have served a lot of meat and meat just now. Let's make some vegetarian dishes."

"By the way, where's the shopkeeper of the Fang family, is he gone?"

I have to thank others for sending this group of people to the barracks.

Zong Che said: "It is said that we will come to see you tomorrow. I guess it is to leave time for you to meet and talk as a family."

"These Fang family members are all good people." An Xu said with a smile, always doing things properly.

The two returned to the main tent, An Xu carried the basket, and brought Zong Che a bigger one, hers for figs and his for vegetables.
