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

Chapter 96 Rewards
While Hai Jiao was working hard on practicing his riding and shooting skills, both General Zhou and General Gu heard about his "contribution" in the arrest of Jiang Yang's thief.

Although Hai Jiao doesn't mean to show off, the shopkeeper of the Liu Family Car Shop is a down-to-earth person.Because of his meritorious service in reporting, he received double rewards from the government and the guards. In a few days, he would receive another reward from the Jiangnan local government. He was beaming every day and became more kind and generous to his subordinates.Naturally, he would not forget Haijiao that he had been reminded about. He said repeatedly in front of people that it was really thanks to the Haijia boy who told him that those people were suspicious, otherwise he would not have been able to take advantage of it.

Many people heard what he said, and the news naturally reached the ears of the generals at the guard station.

When General Wednesday and General Gu inquired with the guards guarding the city gate, they found out that Haijiao indeed had a role to play.Without Haijiao's reminder, although the guards at the city gate reported the suspicious behavior of the fugitives, they would not have discovered their true identities so quickly, and the Liu family shopkeeper would not have been vigilant in time and found a convenience for them. The residence where officers and soldiers operate.When the time comes, Suzhou Guards will have to go through a lot of trouble if they want to catch someone, and someone might be injured.You must know that the skills of those four criminal thieves are really extraordinary, otherwise they would not have dared to rob officials, kill officers and soldiers, and still escape.Everyone was able to arrest people so easily. Hai Jiao must be credited with the good idea he gave to the shopkeeper of the Liu family.

The generals all felt that Haijiao kept silent and did not ask for credit because the child was humble and low-key, but they could not ignore his achievements because of this.There is no formal reward for him, but they can use their own money to give the child another gift as a reward for his wit and vigilance.

Therefore, General Wednesday gave him a set of finely crafted leather armor, which was only slightly larger than Haijiao's current stature. He would be able to wear it in two years.

General Gu gave him a high-quality and powerful bow. Although it could not be drawn on the current reef, it was a good wish to encourage him to practice archery well and become an expert archer in the future.

Several other generals in the Suzhou Guard who had taught Haijiao riding and archery skills put together a new harness for him, and Liu Keren gave him a pair of good arrows. Even the two of them had never had much dealings with him. Local officials also gave him a pair of good leather boots.

Hai Jiao had put together a complete set of military equipment, and was able to buy a new coat for his beloved horse. Even though many of the items were not suitable for his current age, it still surprised him.

He began to feel reluctant to leave Suzhou City.

Although this place has brought him a lot of pain, there is also a lot of warmth and joy in his memory.What was lost in the previous life has been made up for in this life. It seems that even the pain in the past has become blurred, and it seems that it doesn't hurt so much when I think about it.

Hai Jiao couldn't tell these feelings to other relatives, he could only talk to his younger sister Haitang.

Haitang is also willing to listen to him, and listens very seriously. She can give appropriate feedback every time, which makes Haijiao feel happier.

It's just that he talks a lot, and it's impossible for Haitang to stop what she's doing every time and listen to him attentively. She often does it while listening.Hai Jiao probably knew that he was a bit verbose. He was embarrassed to apologize to his sister, so he found an excuse to change the subject: "What are you busy with, little sister? Why do you seem to be painting all the time these two days?"

He remembered that his little sister was painting flower branches in the house the day before yesterday, and she was also painting flower branches yesterday. Today she changed the flower, but she was still painting flower branches.It seems that besides practicing riding, shooting and becoming a female celebrity, my sister is busy painting flowers every day. Why is this?Did grandma give my little sister new homework?

Haitang told him: "It wasn't Grandma who gave me new homework, it was Grandpa Lu who taught me to draw. He was very satisfied with the progress of my painting learning and said that I have talent, so he has been teaching me to draw various paintings recently. Flower pattern." Hai Xiya is about to be transferred from Suzhou, and Hai Jiao's future career plans have also changed. It seems that the military strategy course originally set up to allow him to successfully enter the border army in two years is no longer needed. So in a hurry.

Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian relaxed a lot and began to prepare for the upcoming long trip.When Lu Bainian was free, he remembered that he had promised to teach Haitang painting, so he called the child over to ask about his homework. Unexpectedly, he found that Haitang's progress in learning painting was much faster than he expected.

Judging from Haitang's painting homework in the past year, she initially simply copied from the album he gave her, and then began to make slight modifications based on the original painting. The result of the modification was a bit dull at first, but gradually She became more and more flexible, and later she was able to draw a completely new pattern of flowers on her own.

Lu Bainian was not interested in this student Haitang.It's not that he looks down on female students, it's just that when Haixiya's wife Ma asked him to teach her granddaughter how to draw, she only asked her to learn how to draw flowers. She didn't expect her to achieve anything, and she seemed to be able to draw more complex paintings. By embroidering patterns and writing neatly, she is already a talented girl who is proficient in calligraphy and painting. There is no intention of letting her study painting seriously like a man.Lu Bainian was heartbroken, but could not refuse Ma's request, so he simply gave Haitang the album of flowers and plants he had drawn, and occasionally gave some pointers on the brushwork, then left the child to fiddle with it on his own.

He was really surprised that Haitang could draw a decent picture, not just at the level of embroidery.

Now that Lu Bainian is not busy, he has time to give more guidance to female students.Even if your main focus is on floral patterns, there are thousands of variations to choose from.After you are familiar with all kinds of flowers, you can then develop in the direction of flowers, birds, fish and insects.

As a result, the amount of painting homework Haitang had to complete every day doubled.But she didn't care about it, instead she enjoyed it a little bit.If she could have an excuse to escape from her homework as a female celebrity, why wouldn't she do it?She began to regret a little. Her "progress" in needlework seemed to be too fast. In just over a year, she could even make her own clothes, shoes and socks, so much so that her grandmother Ma became obsessed with her. She set high expectations and assigned her many new tasks, asking her to help make the family's new autumn and winter clothes.If she had known this, she might as well have acted clumsily...

Not long after Haitang had just helped her grandmother Ma finish all the new autumn clothes for her grandfather Hai Xiya and her brother Hai Jiao, the autumn of the 31st year of Deguang also arrived in Suzhou City.

Suzhou has a bumper grain harvest this year.Not only the newly planted maize, but also the grains that were originally grown locally have increased compared with previous years. This is probably because there has been no fighting in the past year, only sporadic minor conflicts, which have not affected the grain fields.There was great joy both inside and outside the city, and even everyone in the Suzhou Guards was happy.

With this year's bumper grain harvest, the food and materials compensated by the Hu people, and the income from the glassware and wine sold in the past few months, the soldiers and people of Suzhou can have a good year this year.

Because the city had successively captured fleeing gangsters and Hu spies, Suzhou Guards stepped up investigations outside the city. The surrounding Qianhu Station and Baihu Station were also on patrol from time to time, to be on guard against small strays escaping at night. Suzhou The security situation in the territory this year has also improved compared with previous years.

Now the soldiers and civilians in the state can have enough to eat and drink, and their lives are considered stable. Who would be unhappy?Whether it is the government office or the health center, the number of compliments heard this year has more than doubled compared to previous years.

In this prosperous atmosphere, Haixi Ya's transfer order finally came down.
