After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 35 Worry
Hai Xiya sighed and explained his worries to his wife in a low voice.

As expected by Haitang, because Hai Jiao discovered the whereabouts of the spies twice in succession, reported meritorious service, and now received a reward, Hai Xiya was worried that he would devote himself to becoming an officer. Even before entering the army, he Keep tracking the whereabouts of the Hu spies!
How dangerous is this? !

The couple had been in the border town for a long time. Don't they know how many soldiers died at the hands of Hu spies who exposed their identities?Now that Haijiao is looking so excited, how can they continue to let their children take risks? !

Ma was quickly convinced: "Ganzhou... is indeed much safer than Suzhou City. When Baoshun goes there, he won't have time to think about spies. But the child is only twelve years old and has not left since he was a child. Playing house. Master, you have to stay in Suzhou City for a few more years. Do you really want your child to leave home alone to study? At least you should find a few people to accompany Baoshun to Ganzhou and take care of his food and daily life there. ?”

This is true.But who in the family can accompany Haijiao to Ganzhou?
Of course it is impossible for them to be a couple, but Xie Wenzai, Cao and Lu are all old, and they are elegant scholars. Their constitutions are weak, and they always get a little sick every time the seasons change.Although they had lived in Ganzhou before, if they were asked to take care of Haijiao's food and daily life, it was really hard to say who would take care of whom in the end.

There are not many servants in the family, except for the three generations of Cui Bo's family, only Jin Guo. If he hires people temporarily, he is afraid that the new arrival will be unreliable and his grandson will be wronged in Ganzhou.

In the end, Hai Changan and his family of three could only be considered.

Both Hai Changan and his wife had lived in Ganzhou before and were quite familiar with the local area. In terms of force and carefulness, they were the best choice.It just so happened that Ganzhou was more prosperous and rich in resources than Suzhou City, and it was also more conducive for Xiao Shitou to recuperate after his illness.

Hai Changan's family brought Jin Guo with them and added a few more guards to escort them along the way, and that was enough.If after arriving in Ganzhou, Hai Changan and his wife still feel that they are short of manpower, they will just hire more people.Hai Jiao is also a sensible older child, so he won't let his uncle and aunt worry too much after he enters health school.

Hai Xiya quickly made up his mind, but Ma was still a little worried: "Is this okay? If Chang'an takes Baoshun to Ganzhou, there will only be a few old people left in the family. What if something happens? , there is not even a young man who can come forward to help run errands..."

Hai Xiya disagreed: "What can I do in Suzhou City? The young people in the health center should not mind helping me with some small things. What's more, there are Cui Zhong and Da Zhuang father and son at home. Young people in need When running errands, just let Da Zhuang show up."

Da Zhuang is a servant, and not everything is suitable for him...

Mrs. Ma hesitated to speak, but in her heart, her grandson's safety was more important, so she remained silent.

Haitang could hear clearly inside and had some thoughts in her mind.

She opened the window and took a look at the east wing, then quickly spread out the bedding, then jumped off the kang, put on her shoes, and ran to the outside room: "Grandpa, grandma, my brother has been lighting the lamp since he came back to the house. I don't know if that's the case." I'm worried about tomorrow. Shall I go over and see him?"

Madam Ma muttered, "Who told him not to study hard at his lessons? It's too late to just cram it in now!" But he didn't stop his granddaughter.

Begonia jumped away.Hai Xiya looked at her granddaughter's back, then turned to look at the door leading to the inner room. Suddenly she felt that this scene was a bit familiar: "Did Tangtang hear what we just said?"

Ma was taking a box off the bookshelf and didn't hear him clearly: "What?"

Hai Xiya hesitated for a moment: "It's nothing..." Haitang came to the east wing, quickly closed the door, walked to the desk, and saw a pile of books on Hai Jiao's hand. He also had a book in his hand, but it was full of books. Sadness: "Little sister, I'm done! I don't remember any of these books! I can barely memorize a few sentences, but they are fragmentary. I will definitely not be able to pass the test tomorrow!"

Even if the little sister comes up with an excuse that can cover up his deterioration in his homework and prevent his cousin uncle from thinking he is suspicious, this kind of neglect of homework will not bring good results.I'm afraid he really won't be able to escape a beating tomorrow!
Haitang still has memories from her childhood: "My cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu are all gentle people. They rarely hit people, and even if they do, it doesn't hurt."

After hearing this, Hai Jiao's face did not reduce the sorrow by half: "Even if they don't punish me and force me to copy and write articles, it won't be much better!" He has been a spy for more than ten years, and his handwriting has already been compared to that of his childhood. completely different.If my cousin notices something wrong while copying the book, even if my little sister comes up with a hundred excuses for him, it won’t work!
When he was a child, he asked his second uncle or his younger sister to help him copy books, but he never deceived his cousin.It was obvious that his second uncle's handwriting was so similar to his that he couldn't tell the difference himself. Who knows how his cousin could identify it? !

Haitang looked at his frantic look, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother, are you sure you don't want to go to Ganzhou to study health education? Grandpa is actually thinking about you."

"Of course I know grandpa is thinking about me. But as soon as I leave Suzhou, I won't be able to do many things!" Hai Jiao grabbed his hair in collapse, "I also want to help grandpa get promoted, and I want to make myself better before entering the military. Earn more credit. After going to Ganzhou, what else can I do?!"

Haitang lowered his voice: "Brother, calm down! If you panic first when something happens, how can you think of a way to solve the difficulty at hand?"

Hai Jiao took two deep breaths and calmed down a little: "I don't want to panic, but... I really don't know how to convince grandpa."

"Do you have to be in Suzhou to find opportunities to make meritorious deeds?" Haitang asked, "Didn't you also live in Ganzhou City for a period of time in your last life? Didn't you hear any useful gossip at that time? If you can't help grandpa It’s okay to get promoted and earn benefits for yourself!”

Hai Jiao sighed: "I had lived in Ganzhou City for half a year at that time. There were opportunities to make meritorious deeds... but most of them were not something I could do alone."

For example, a team escorting grain and grass to Ganzhou encountered horse thieves. A certain Qianhu happened to lead the team to inspect the area and came to help, saving a large amount of grain and grass.

For example, the Ganzhou Guards could not stand the harassment of horse thieves, so they dispatched troops to suppress the bandits, and finally cleaned up the horse thieves' nest that had been a headache for the border troops for more than ten years...

These achievements are all real, and the soldiers who can participate in them will naturally have the opportunity to be promoted. However, he is a young boy in Haijiao, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot fight against a large group of horse thieves with one person. Even if he just reports the news, it is impossible. You have to explain clearly first how you know the movements of the horse thieves...

All his knowledge of these things that happened in his previous life came from hearsay, and the details were vague. How could he dare to speak so easily?Moreover, the Ganzhou Guard was not the Suzhou Guard. There was no general like General Gu who was close to his grandfather. He really did not dare to take risks easily...

Besides, when he arrived in Ganzhou in his previous life, the then Commander-in-Chief of Shaanxi Province was no longer a member of the Zhou family.In order to install his confidants and eliminate dissidents, the newly appointed General Sun Yonglu often fabricated charges to remove his officers from their posts. This made people in the city angry and resentful. Rumors were flying all over the place. No one knew which ones were true and which ones were false.He couldn't even tell which military attache would defect to the Sun family and stab his colleagues in the back for merit, and which military attache would act honestly and reliably...

If he went to the wrong person to report it, and the other party took all the credit and sold him out, who could he cry to? !
Haijiao sighed, really not knowing what to do.

Haitang had no choice but to ask him for more information: "Are you sure that these are the only opportunities to make meritorious deeds? Isn't there anything you can do alone?"
