Chapter 228: Offended
"General. Read." Gou Wa came running over.
"My wife said she sent me a big package. Where are the things?"
Gou Wa touched his head: "No. The messenger only gave us a dozen letters, nothing else."
Lu Bocheng confirmed again and again that there was really nothing else except the letters.
He was so angry.
He rubbed the spear with his toes, letting it roll to the top of his feet, and then kicked the spear into the air with his toes. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, holding it in his hand, and went down the tower with a frosty face.
My wife said in the letter that she sent him a package.
The package contained some shoes and socks made for him, and a big sweater. Thinking that he might be more likely to wear shoes, he made many pairs of shoes, and the soles were all made of thick thousand-layer soles.
He also made some dried meat, dried fruits, dried vegetables and some nuts. Save them for him to eat.
There are also chestnuts harvested from the mountains. Xiaobao loves to eat them. When winter came, she hibernated at home with Xiaobao, and Xiaobao stuck to her. The mother and son huddled by the brazier, one roasting chestnuts and the other waiting to eat.
Xiaobao loved chestnuts very much, and he wanted to eat more after eating seven or eight. He raised two puppies as playmates, and fed the puppies while eating.
Lü Bocheng was happy thinking about his son whom he had never met. He also wanted to see how delicious chestnuts were, so that his son could not stop eating. He could also roast them and eat them once.
Who would have thought that there was only a letter, but no package!
The wife said in the letter that she had made him a big sweater, knitted many pairs of thick-soled shoes, and brought him a lot of food. ơɱ
This was actually not there!
It was obvious that someone had stolen it.
If it was something else, Lü Bocheng would have let it go, but the clothes, shoes and socks made by his wife for him could not be given to others.
Lü Bocheng rushed to the messenger with a gun in anger.
He kicked the door away.
The messengers who were warming themselves by the fire in the house were frightened.
Seeing that it was Lü Bocheng, they immediately became bold: "Lü Bocheng, are you going to rebel?"
Lü Bocheng was not even a fourth-rank general. He was a soldier guarding the city wall, and his rank was lower than theirs. Would they be afraid of him?
Besides, the superiors were tired of him, and no matter how many military merits he made, he would probably not be promoted.
"Where is my package?" Lü Bocheng asked them coldly.
"What package?"
"My family sent me a letter and a package, why is there only a letter but no package?" Lü Bocheng patiently repeated it.
After hearing this, the messengers sat back by the brazier.
They stretched their hands to the brazier to keep warm, without even looking at him, and said lightly: "How would we know? We will send whatever we have, and if we don't have it, we can't make it."
Lü Bocheng didn't believe it at all, and searched the house with a spear.
"Lu Bocheng, what are you going to do?" Several messengers rushed to stop him, but they couldn't stop Lu Bocheng.
"We all said we didn't have any, don't you understand what we are saying?"
Lu Bocheng didn't care, thinking that the clothes and shoes and socks made by his wife with every stitch and thread fell into the hands of others, his heart was burning with anger.
He searched the house for a long time, but found nothing.
Lu Bocheng grabbed their collars and interrogated them, but he didn't get anything out of them.
The noise was really outrageous, Gou Wa hurriedly called Cui Sheng over.
"Let go! Bocheng, let go!" Cui Sheng rushed over and stopped Lu Bocheng.
After hearing the reason, he also asked several messengers, but no one admitted to receiving the package.
What can he do? He can only give up.
Cui Sheng led Lu Bocheng back to the military tent, feeling very disappointed.
"You offended the messenger for a package. You are so outrageous! Do you still want to receive and send letters normally in the future? What good will it be if you offend them? I'm afraid you won't be able to receive any letters in the future! Look at your outrage."
After Lu Bocheng calmed down, he was a little annoyed.
If they retaliate against him, he might not even receive any letters in the future.
He wanted to hit his head.
But the clothes, shoes and socks made by his wife were made by his wife for him, and he had to get them back.
Cui Sheng looked at his unconvinced expression and sighed: "Can't you control your temper? Think about the pros and cons calmly before deciding on the next move."
Lu Bocheng was silent for a moment, then looked up at him: "What about the general? He has been controlling his temper, so he was bullied step by step. He didn't dare to say anything. Those generals and lieutenants switched to him one by one?"
Cui Sheng was stunned by the question.
He sat down on the chair absent-mindedly.
Is he too controlling his temper? That makes people think he is weak and can be bullied?
Lu Bocheng ignored him and turned to leave the military tent.
Su Qingmei didn't know that her two letters had caused quite a stir.
In a blink of an eye, the first month of the year was about to end.
The snow on the mountain had not melted yet, and there were some scattered snow in the village, and the snow piles swept in winter were still there.
Xiaobao was wrapped up like a little bear by Su Qingmei and others. His little hands were wrapped, and his little face was also wrapped, with only two big black eyes exposed.
He had frostbite, and Su Qingmei and Lu were afraid that he would relapse, so they didn't let him go out of the house casually.
But this child is lively and active. He has never seen snow since he was born, and he gets excited when he sees snow.
Especially when he sees Ruyi and Xiu'er making a big snowman, he wants to play with it.
Siyuan Siyuan couldn't resist his pleading, so he softened his heart and shoveled a large basin of snow from time to time, carried the basin under the eaves, and let him play.
Because no one wanted to play with him because they were afraid he would be cold, he played with the two puppies.
He made a snowball and threw it at the puppy. The puppy also cooperated with him and ran around in the yard. He made a snowball and threw it, but he never hit it once in ten times. Occasionally, the puppy felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to see him sad, so it stood there and threw it at him.
One person and two dogs played happily every day. They were very happy.
Although it was still very cold, there were many things to do in the village this year, and many things had to be prepared.
Building a market was the top priority of each village.
Leveling the land. It would probably take a lot of time, and then building roads and houses... Su Qing'an wanted to speed up the time, so she could only increase the number of people.
It must be done before the spring plowing. This year she also wanted to grow crops, so she had to level some fields for growing crops, and maybe even build some terraces.
In addition, she had to raise white waxworms and plant bamboo in the spring, integrate the resources of various mountains, and in order to facilitate communication with the caravan, she might have to open a shop in Renzhou City.
There are more opportunities in this way, and you can contact caravans from all sides, and there will not be too much change.
If the price of materials is monopolized by a caravan, it is a very dangerous thing. It is almost like working for that caravan.
To do business, you have to have a say.
At the end of the first month, Su Qingmei called Siyuan Siyuan over and asked them to go to Renzhou and buy a large shop in the city.
In addition, if there are some suitable people to buy back, it is best to be farmers who know how to work in the fields or have a skill, they can be brought back to the village.
Her mountain is going to be developed. It must be synchronized with other villages.
She has no manpower, so she can only ask Siyuan Siyuan to go to the human teeth department to have a look.
Su Qingmei thinks that it should not cost a lot of money to buy people now. I just don’t know if there are any available manpower.
Siyuan Siyuan left in response.
Two days later, the first month of the year was over.
On the first day of February, the village chiefs gathered in Baijia Village again.
