Chapter 618 Anger

"You did it yourself?"

Xiao Nan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, tried his best to maintain a calm chat with his two children, "Well, it's really good, show it to A Niang!"

Lingxi and Changsheng always felt that A Niang was weird, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

Since Xiao Nan resolutely cleaned up the inner courtyard, none of the servants inside and outside Rongshou Hall dared to chew their tongues anymore, and Lingxi and Changsheng had no sources of news.Except for what Xiao Nan allowed them to know, they didn't know anything about other news, such as the situation of Huangshui.

They can't get involved in the "big things" at home, and the college is on vacation. Apart from waking up in the morning to study and review homework, they often get together to tease their younger siblings or think of some novel ideas.

The Kongming lanterns in their hands are the masterpieces of the two of them in the past two days. They listened to the servants below and wrote down their wishes and prayers for their loved ones on the Kongming lanterns, and then ascended to the sky, and God will receive them.

The two little ones are most worried about their father who is far away in the northwest. Although their mother loves them, she doesn't talk to them about these important matters.

Although they have a group of kites and their information is well-informed, they are limited to some half-truths and mixed rumors circulating in the market. As for more confidential information, they can't get a little bit of it.

In fact, they didn't want to pry into state secrets, but at least let them know that their father is okay? !
However, these requirements could not be met, so the two children, who were worried about their father, began to place their hopes on the gods and Buddhas.

The two didn't expect that this blessing tool of theirs inspired their mother and indirectly helped Aye who was in Huangshui.

Of course, this is a later story. At this moment, the two are still immersed in the intoxication of their own works. When they heard that their mother wanted to read them, they hurriedly stretched out their little hands and rushed to ask A Niang to see their own.

Xiao Nan picked up Changsheng's, put it in his hand for a closer look, and casually praised: "Well, it's not bad, it's really good, Changsheng, let me have a look at this, okay?"

Changsheng was very proud, raised his chin, and said, "If you like it, mother, just take it. If it's not enough, son, son, do it again!"

While talking, Chang Sheng glanced at Ling Xi with his white eyeballs, showing off and embarrassingly self-evident.

The consonant white teeth bit his lower lip lightly, and he looked at his mother with a very sad look.Woohoo, she's doing better than her younger brother, so why is Auntie only willing to take her younger brother's but not hers?

The two little ones always look like little adults in front of outsiders, but in front of their own mothers, they regain their cuteness and naughtiness as children.

Xiao Nan didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two children for a moment, she carefully looked at the Kongming Lantern, and felt that it was quite similar to the 'thing' in her impression.

She nodded in satisfaction, and from the corner of her eyes, she inadvertently saw Lingxi's pouting and aggrieved expression, and then glanced at Changsheng with a proud face, she understood after a little thought.

Alas, no matter how sensible they are, they are just children!

Xiao Nan shook his head amusedly, but he was very happy in his heart, because she didn't want to see the two children look too mature.

Still the same sentence, children from poor families will be able to take charge of the family early. In Xiao Nan's view, premature maturity or super-standard sensibleness are not good things.For her children, she hopes to have a happy and carefree childhood.

Stretching out his hand to rub Lingxi's little hair, Xiao Nan said with a smile: "Lingxi is also doing very well... Auntie is busy recently and can't take care of the family. Thanks to Lingxi helping me take care of my younger siblings, Auntie can spare time to go outside. thing……"

As she said that, she saw that Lingxi really had a smiling face, but Changsheng pouted again, and she said again: "Changsheng is also very sensible, and helped Auntie receive several distinguished guests—"

Uncle Cui was not around, Chang Sheng was the eldest son of the family, so when some male guests came to pay a visit, he would replace his father to entertain the guests.

Changsheng has done these things in a decent manner. Those male guests who had chatted with Changsheng couldn't help but praise them when they went back. They said that they are indeed the children of the Boling Cui family, a small seven-year-old child , unexpectedly also so advances and retreats the degree, the speech is not vulgar.

Although the little guy's tone of voice is a little immature, but he has already acted in a well-organized manner, and there is a faint shadow of an old man on his body,

Only to see everyone secretly amazed.

Changsheng didn't take it seriously, he was originally enlightened and raised by his old man, he stayed in front of his ancestor for two full years, even if he couldn't learn the essence, at least he could learn a little superficially.

However, this is just a performance in front of outsiders (a family member is the best at pretending). In front of his own mother, Changsheng is of course "revealing his original shape". After hearing the praise of his mother, he is no longer so fat The little face is full of pride and happiness.

Xiao Nan put the Kongming Lantern aside, embraced the two children one by one in his arms, stroked their backs with his hands, and said softly: "Lingxi and Changsheng are good children, my mother can have you like this!" Well-behaved and sensible child, really happy!"

The two little ones leaned on their mother's shoulders one after another. After hearing this, they nodded in unison and said in unison, "Don't worry, Auntie, we will be more sensible!"

Xiao Nan made out with the two children for a while, and then told them to take good care of the quadruplets, and watched the six children play together with their own eyes, before rushing to the academy with a Kongming lantern in hand.

It stands to reason that the college has already been on vacation, and teachers and students should go home for the New Year.

But Zhou Meng is different, he is a purely technical geek, and there is no such thing as "Chinese New Year" in his consciousness.

As for going home, he never even thought about it, because he had been away from the Zhou family's ancestral home for 50 to [-] years. If you really counted it, Mangshan's villa was the place where he stayed the longest, and it should be regarded as his home.

Now, all the things in the villa have been moved to the guest house in the college, and Zhou Meng's 'home' has also moved here.

And don't look at the holidays in the college, but the servants in the guest house are still there, ensuring that the daily life here runs as usual.

Several of Zhou Meng's teaching assistants are also technical geeks. They saw that there are enough food, drink, and sufficient experimental materials and teachers here, and they didn't go home. They stayed in the laboratory with their teachers, working day and night. Various experiments.

A recent experiment was to meet Xiao Nan's needs and improve the Trojan Horse.

Zhou Meng cooperates so well with Xiao Nan, not because Xiao Nan is the principal, or Mrs. Qi Guo, but because she often expresses some novel ideas in front of him. Her seemingly casual words often make Zhou Meng suddenly enlightened. a feeling of.

I don't know why, when Zhou Meng and Xiao Nan get along, he always has an illusion, as if he has returned to the days when he was doing research with Sister Cui more than 40 years ago.

And those days are the happiest part of Zhou Meng's memory, so for Xiao Nan who brought up this memory, Zhou Meng is extremely cooperative.

Of course, Xiao Nan didn't just ask others to help her do this and that, she would also say some novel ideas in a timely manner, sometimes helping Zhou Meng solve the current bottleneck, sometimes inspiring him to have better and newer inventions.

This can be regarded as a win-win situation.

The more Zhou Meng stayed in the academy, the happier he was. The Zhou family sent people to invite him home several times, but he ignored them.

After several days of repeated experiments, Zhou Meng and his assistants finally completed the improvement of the Trojan horse.

"Huh~~ It's finally finished, I hope it won't delay Madam's important business."

Zhou Meng took the warm and wet veil handed over by the student, casually wiped off the sawdust on his face and hands, and then stood aside carefully admiring his work.

As soon as his words fell, there was a message at the door: "Master, Mrs. Xiao is here!"

……

While Xiao Nan was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, Cui Youbo was unusually leisurely.

On this day, he stood in front of the crenel of the gate tower again, resting his hands on the cold bluestone, silently watching the enemy camp not far away.

"It's been [-] days of being trapped today. I don't know if Zhao Liu has found reinforcements? Is everything going well with Mrs. Xue?"

Cui Youbo has experienced ups and downs in his career for nearly ten years, years of experience and the guidance of relatives around him have made him more and more meticulous in his actions.Now every time he moves a chess game, he will make a careful plan, and he will follow a principle, never betting on a single person for key matters.

Half a month ago, when he used gunpowder and bamboo tubes to fight the enemy, taking advantage of the panic of the enemy, he ordered Zhao Liu and a few short people to sneak out of the city. At the same time, he asked Xue Niangzi to break through for the last time.

He Lu's soldiers and horses were startled by the loud thunder, and the guards were momentarily stunned.

Cui Youbo's two parties took advantage of this gap to get out.

But even so, Xue Niangzi was still injured, Cui Youbo saw clearly through clairvoyance, hundreds of arrows were shot at it, its small body fell several times in the air, almost fell to the ground from midair.

Cui Youbo gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and watched silently. Several times, he wanted to call Xue Niangzi back.

But when he thought of the people all over the city, he still hardened his heart and closed his eyes, letting Lady Xue dodge everywhere in the arrow rain.

In the end, just when Cui Youbo was about to give up, Xue Niangzi finally succeeded in breaking through, red plum blossoms bloomed on her snow-white body, and she rushed into the sky with difficulty shaking her wings.

"But, but it has suffered such a serious injury, can it persist until the capital?"

Since Mrs. Xue left, Cui Youbo has been repeating this every day.

"Su Chun, I knew you were here!"

Cui Mingbo strode up to the city gate and walked straight towards Cui Youbo.

Cui Youbo didn't look back, and asked calmly: "Brother, what happened in the city?"

Cui Mingbo stood beside him, after hearing this, he was silent for a while, and immediately said: "There is not much food and grass in the city."

It's been almost a month since they were trapped. There are [-] to [-] people in the city plus thousands of government soldiers. They are fed by horses, and the stock of food and grass has plummeted.

If Cui Youbo hadn't made preparations in advance, the city might have run out of food at this moment.

Cui Youbo frowned slightly, and the veins on the back of his hand that was placed on the bluestone at the crenel were bulging. He asked in a deep voice, "How long can you last?"

Cui Mingbo has helped take care of the general affairs for more than three months, and is most familiar with these situations, so he replied without hesitation: "At most one more month."

A month later, even if the reinforcements arrive, the people in the city will probably starve to death.

One month, one month, Cui Youbo repeated silently in his heart, suddenly, his eyes widened, he leaned out, desperately looking at the movement under the city.

When he saw the scene below the city clearly, the veins on his forehead popped up, and he roared angrily, "Shameless!"
