    Wei Ruo continued to say to Xu Zhengyong, “Don’t worry about the medicine, write to me if you lack anything, I’ll have it all ready for you.”

    “Ruo’er sister you’re so good to me! Having you as my sister I, Xu Zhengyong, have made my life worthwhile!” Xu Zhengyong was deeply moved.

    “Anyway, the first and foremost point is to keep yourself safe.” Wei Ruo once again admonished.

    Isamu is just a bit impulsive and reckless sometimes, and she had to nag her some.

    “Well, don’t worry Ruo’er, I have the numbers.” Xu Zhengyong promised with a smile.

    “By the way, Meimei brought you some goodies over.” Wei Ruo said and dragged Xiu Mei up.

    Xiu Mei looked a little blushing, and after hesitating for a while, she simply shoved the cloth bag she had carried into Xu Zhengyong’s arms.

    “What are you doing? Taking the opportunity to beat me up?” Xu Zhengyong asked.

    The force with which the package was flung was close to matching the force with which someone would have punched him.

    “What beating you, giving you goodies, those are tonics, for your body.” Xiu Mei explained.

    Learning that the package was full of supplements for himself, Xu Zhengyong couldn’t help but grin, “Meimei you’re so good to me! In the future, even if you don’t become my senior sister, you can still be my daughter-in-law!”

    “What are you talking about!” Xiu Mei was instantly annoyed and threw up her fist and slammed it on Xu Zhengyong.

    Xu Zhengyong hurriedly escaped, and the bag in his arms when he fled was clutched tightly, not bothering to spread his hands.

    “Xu Zhengyong stop right there!” Xiu Mei shouted.

    Xu Zhengyong ran as fast as he could, shouting as he ran, “If I don’t stand still, I’ll be killed by you if I do! I wasn’t injured on the battlefield, if I come back paralyzed by you, then how can I explain to my comrades back home?”

    Wei Ruo and the milkmaid shook their heads helplessly, having become accustomed to this kind of jostling between these two, and since nothing would really happen in the end anyway, they just let them be.

    Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei stayed at the Xu family until dusk, and it was really late and they had to leave before saying goodbye to the Xu family and getting on the carriage to return to the school captain’s mansion.

    ###

    After two days, there was also good news from the Wei House.

    The dust has settled on Xu Zhengyong’s promotion from private to deputy general.

    Wei Ruo let Xiumei will be her packed medicine sent over, would have liked to prepare some more, but time is too late, and then delayed for fear that Xu Zhengyong back to the barracks.

    At the same time as this, good news came from the Wei family, as Wei Mingting was also promoted.

    The real position was promoted from deputy general to general, while the virtual position was also promoted from the sixth rank of the Zhongxian school lieutenant to the sixth rank of the Zhaoshin school lieutenant.

    For a while the school captain’s residence was immersed in a cheer.

    Wei Mingting has been in the position of Deputy Chieftain for a long time, and has not been promoted for a long time.

    A while ago, I was worried about the possibility of being dismissed or demoted.

    Now it’s better, the gloom is lifted and there is joy.

    “Quickly, write to the capital and tell the good news to the people of the uncle’s house!”

    Yun arranged for his eldest son, Wei Yi Chen, to write a letter to the Zhongyi Burial House in the capital to report the good news.

    Although this news will surely be learned by the capital side before them, but as a junior should still write a letter with that side to explain the situation in the house.

    And then ordered the House to prepare for the husband’s celebration banquet, of course, this banquet is just the family get together to eat a meal, Wei Mingting ordered, not to be spread out to do.

    Things have not been going well in Hing Sun County lately, the rice set in many people’s fields has not been good, and the weather this year feels like it is going to get colder a little earlier than in previous years, and all the signs are foreshadowing a difficult year.

    Against this background, it is really inappropriate to be too wasteful.

    In the evening, Wei’s family gathered together.

    Wei Jinye, who rarely appeared in the dining hall, also made an unprecedented appearance today.

    Seeing Wei Jin Yi, Yun froze slightly.

    “Mother.” Wei Jin also greeted Yun.

    “Uh-huh.” Yun responded and didn’t say anything.

    On second thought, today’s situation is special, it is reasonable that he is willing to come over to eat together, and she is surprised because he has not come to the dining hall to eat with the people for too long, making her not come back to her senses for a moment.

    Wei Yi Chen came forward and took the initiative to greet Wei Jin also, “Second brother, how have you been?”

    “Not bad.” Wei Jin Yi’s reply was as scanty as ever, and was generally the same as his demeanor.

    “When will Second Brother go to Huzhoufu?” Wei Yi Chen asked again.

    “It should take some more days.” Wei Jin also said.

    “If there’s anything you need tell big brother.” Wei Yi Chen said.

    Wei Jin also nodded a little.

    Wei Qingwan’s eyes were on Wei Ruo’s body, Wei Ruo was wearing a light green satin jacket and skirt today, wearing a simple hair bun, the whole person looked agile and bright.

    The father has been promoted, the first daughter of the family will have more weight. Wei Qingwan is very clear that the higher the family, the more attention is paid to the order of the eldest and youngest.

    When it comes to marriage in the future, it is also the first daughter who has the advantage.

    Thinking of this, Wei Qingwan couldn’t help but look gloomy.

    Wei Ruo didn’t bother to pay attention to the other people’s expressions, the person stood in the corner of the dining hall, but her mind was on other things.

    She had quite a few things to worry about lately, besides the sweet potatoes in Xiaoyang Mountain in the north of the city, the improvement of the wasteland in the south of the city, and the Xie family’s medicinal fields, Wei Ruo was also brewing up the idea of using the five hundred taels of silver that she had just recently saved up to buy grain and coal from overseas.

    Wei Ruo was fuming when Wei Mingting appeared inside the dining hall dressed in civilian clothes.

    “Father.” Wei Yi Chen stepped forward to greet him.

    “Uh-huh.”

    Wei Mingting answered, and then his gaze fell on Wei Jinye behind Wei Yi-chen.

    “You’re willing to come out and walk around today?”

    “Uh-huh.” Wei Jin also answered, his voice as muted as ever.

    It was as if he reacted this way no matter who was standing across the room.

    “This is very good, it’s time to move around more, you shouldn’t always be stuffed in the courtyard.” Wei Mingting said in a pleased tone.

    Immediately after that, Wei Mingting’s line of sight landed on Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo again.

    “Father.” Wei Qingwan shouted obediently.

    Wei Ruo’s reaction was much slower because she was thinking about the problem, and only after realizing that Wei Mingting was looking at herself did she follow and shouted, “Father.”

    “Uh-huh.” Wei Mingting answered.

    “Sit down, all of you.”

    Wei Mingting gave the word, and the crowd took their seats in turn.

    Now in the Xingshan County side, the rules are less, if it is in the capital Zhongyi Bofu in the head, according to the age of a few children in the family today, it should be men and women to separate tables.

    The large round table was filled with dishes of all colors.

    Tonight’s menu is extraordinarily rich: home-roasted Dai Chen yellowtail, wheat shrimp, salt-roasted pork liver, steamed pike crabs, dumpling and cake cones, tofu rounds, and white-burnt chicken ……

    You can clearly see a lot more seafood.

    This was caught by some of the fishermen after they went out to sea after the victory, and they specially sent the seafood to the school captain’s residence to thank Wei Mingting for defeating the Japanese invaders.

    Wei Ming Ting looked at the heart of joy, not only because of the good food in front of him at the moment, but also because it means that the people in the city can resume the days of fishing for a living, so for the county of Xingshan County, this extremely poor agricultural county is the great news.

    At this time, Wei Jin also asked Xiao Bei to bring in an altar.

    “What kind of goodies did Jin Yi bring here?” Wei Mingting was curious.
