Scumbag Training Manual

Chapter 144 A Man
After Pei Jing returned to the barracks, he didn't stop going. After all, there was no war at the moment, so the rules of the barracks were much looser. As long as the military affairs were arranged, he could go home every four or five days and stay for one night.

Pei Jing is still serving as a centurion, but more often he will follow Zhang Jian's side, and Zhang Jian has intentionally or unintentionally passed on some rumors to several higher-ranking soldiers, so the army Many people know that although the centurion Pei Jing is young, there is a person of great background to take care of him behind him.

In addition, Pei Jing is good-looking, good at martial arts, popular with others, and bold in his shots, so the brothers in the camp have a good relationship with him. Often when he shouts, countless people will respond.

The people of Mo country temporarily withdrew their troops, and Yunzhou city was also temporarily relieved of the siege. Some sharp-eyed businessmen saw the opportunity and seized the time to make a fortune.

Although many things in the city are still not for sale, they are still much better than when they were under siege, but many things are much more expensive than before.

After the autumn harvest, the Pei family can be regarded as making a small fortune, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing for the time being. Now that there are many people in the family, Mrs. Wang and the others have not said that they want to leave, and Mrs. Lu and Pei Songde have to let them live first.

Pei Jing simply expanded his family into several houses, so he didn't have to worry about having no place to live.

It's just that because of the large number of people in the family, Chen Miao couldn't bear to watch Aunt Yue and Mrs. Lu work hard, so after discussing with Pei Jing, she found two people to work at home.

One was a woman in her forties. Her husband and son died in the war, and she was alone. Chen Miao saw that she was honest and responsible, and had no one to rely on, so she stayed. Call her Mrs. Tian.

The other was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, with only one father, but there was no news after he went to the battlefield.

Chen Miao took him in because one morning, seeing him huddled outside her house in thin clothes, pitifully cold, she felt compassion.

She gave the boy a bowl of hot porridge, and the boy was not afraid of being scalded. After drinking it in a few bites, he said, "Thank you for the porridge. I don't have any money now, but I can help you with things."

Looking at the boy's clear eyes, Chen Miao somehow thought of her younger brother Chen Ling. They had been separated for several months and had no news at all. Although she knew that Shen Yefeng would take good care of them, they had been together for more than ten years. Why don't you want to?

So when Chen Miao brought this boy home, even Mrs. Lu couldn't help it because he thought of his own children.

The boy's surname is Zhang, and his parents died since he was a child. Although he is only 12 years old, he has been homeless for seven or eight years.There is no big name, but there is a nickname called Ah Man, so everyone calls him Ah Man.

Although Ah Man is young, he is diligent in his hands and feet, has good eyesight, chops firewood and fetches water, grows vegetables and fertilizes, and cleans the yard quickly.

Sometimes even Mrs. Lu felt distressed when he saw it, and he would call out from time to time: "Aman, stop and rest, you just swept the yard and don't need to sweep it."

Ah Man always smiled and replied: "There are fallen leaves again, I will sweep it again."

Because Mrs. Tian and Ah Man joined in, the entire Pei family seemed to be a little more lively.

Although Mrs. Tian has lost her husband and son, she is free and easy by nature. Because Ah Man is not a few years younger than her dead son, she sometimes treats Ah Man as her half son, and helps Ah Man mend clothes when she is free. , Sew a pair of shoes.

The weather is getting cooler day by day, and it is early winter in sight.

At this time, the greenhouse in the yard showed its effectiveness, and some of the vegetable seeds planted also sprouted, and the growth was very good. A month ago, Mrs. Lu took Mother Yue and Mrs. Tian to buy a lot of cabbage and green radishes. Pickled a lot in a large vat, and now it has achieved initial results. Chen Miao likes to eat those pickled hot and sour dried radishes, which are crispy and refreshing.

Mrs. Lu was always annoyed her to eat less, it was just winter, and after eating all, she could only eat plain rice, but she would always give her some more later.

The life was so ordinary and warm. At the end of November, Shen Yefeng sent someone to bring back a letter from Beijing, which explained the situation of the three children.

Pei Yue is now by his mother's side, learning from female workers and accountants, and has attended many large banquets. He behaves well and is very popular with noble ladies in Beijing and China. Many people have entrusted official media to come to ask about their marriage, but none of them Shen Yefeng's mother declined because of her young age.

Both Pei Xin and Chen Ling have entered the government school, and there will be an exam next autumn. If the grades are passable, they will be able to enter the imperial school, and the exam will not be a problem.

This was the first time the children had heard from them after they left, and everyone was both moved and happy when they saw it.

Several children are promising, which is what any parent is most happy to see.

Lu asked Chen Miao to reply personally, thanking Shen Yefeng for everything he had done to the Pei family.

Although Chen Miao knew that Shen Yefeng didn't want her to thank her, she still gave a brief account of what happened in the city recently and expressed the gratitude of everyone in the family.

Sending the letter away, Chen Miao looked at the fallen leaves outside the yard, and somehow suddenly remembered Juan'er.

Since Juan'er was pregnant and moved away, the two families lived a little far away. Coupled with the military turmoil, they almost lost contact. Now that I think about it, I don't know if Juan'er's child has been born, and the time should be about the same.

Knowing that Juan'er likes to eat snacks, Chen Miao deliberately made some easy-to-make buns at home, and only brought the child Aman along, hired a car and went to Juan'er's house.

Juan'er's house was half an hour away from Pei's house by car, but when they got there, they found that Juan'er and Yang Tianxing had moved away for several months.

I asked the neighbors around, but no one knew where they went.

Chen Miao went to Juan'er's natal family again, but who would have expected that Juan'er's elder brother, sister-in-law and parents also disappeared.

Even the people in their area have run away.

It was very difficult to find a family that stayed behind and did not leave. After some inquiries, I found out that the Huang family had left Yunzhou City before the war started, and no one knew where they went.

I don't know if I can survive the chaos of war a while ago.

Chen Miao was so disappointed that she had to go home.

When Lu and Pei Songde heard about this incident after they came back, they were also very sad. They could only hope that their family was safe.

Pei Jing likes Ah Man very much. Occasionally when he comes back to stay for one night, he will teach Ah Man a few self-defense kung fu. Entering the barracks to exercise, Ah Man agreed with a smile.

The end of the new year is approaching in a blink of an eye. Even though this year is destined to be a turbulent year, the custom of celebrating the new year is inevitable, and every household is starting to prepare for the new year.
