What does it mean to stand firm?

This night, Yang Ruoqing finally understood the lesson.

That arm was so sore that I couldn't even lift it, and he hadn't even 'explained' yet.

But she was so anxious...

I don’t know how much time has passed, but it’s finally over.

Looking at her right hand, Yang Ruoqing felt murderous.

They brought a basin and a handkerchief and helped him clean up. There was still an ambiguous atmosphere in the tent.

After he was satisfied, he lay there on his back, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

"It's great to have a wife!"

For a long time, he sighed.

Yang Ruoqing raised her lips and smiled: "Silly boy!"

The two people hugged each other.

"Why did you run out tonight?" She just had time to ask these questions.

Luo Fengtang smiled and said, "I miss you so much when I think about the uncle and his wife in the next room."

"whee……"

Yang Ruoqing smiled, hugged his waist, and rested her head on his chest.

"Your uncle's matter has finally come to a perfect ending."

"It's been half a month since you came back this time. Are you going back to the military camp soon?" she asked again.

Mentioning this, the smile on Luo Fengtang's face faded a bit.

Didn't say anything.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised and looked up at him.

I found that his expression was a little solemn.

"What's wrong? Why do you look like this? Did something happen in the military camp?"

Yang Ruoqing sat up and asked.

Luo Fengtang frowned and remained silent.

Yang Ruoqing shook his arm: "Don't hide anything from me, tell me quickly!"

Luo Fengtang had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Actually, the reason why I'm coming home this time is because of my uncle's business. I'm not worried about it."

"Secondly, it's to raise military pay." He said.

"Raising military pay?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.

Then he remembered that the Black Lotus Sect army captured Xiushui Town and besieged Licheng years ago.

Tang Yaozi, one man and one horse, unexpectedly scared off the besieging army and resolved the crisis in Licheng.

He achieved great military exploits, so he was given a heavy reward from above.

While raising his military rank, he also gave him the power to raise an army.

For more than half a year, he and the Luo family army he led hand in hand have been training in the south to guard the border.

"The whole world is not the land of the king, and the soldiers who lead the land are not the king's ministers."

"This military pay and food should be allocated by the higher authorities. Why do we need you to raise it?"

Yang Ruoqing asked puzzledly.

Luo Fengtang said: "There is some allocation from above, but this year due to the incident of the Black Lotus Cult disturbing the people, training and other aspects have been frequent."

"In the south, our army encountered the Black Lotus Sect and the Southern Barbarians in some places. We launched frequent small-scale battles, and the losses exceeded the budget."

"As a result, military pay will be a little tight."

"It's not just me, General Xiahou and his soldiers are also like this."

"I trained the Luo family army by myself. The soldiers' food, clothing and weapons are made by me. Naturally, I, the general, have to take care of it!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

"Well, that's true," she said.

"How much military salary do we need to raise?" she asked immediately.

Luo Fengtang thought about it and reported a number.

"It's only been three months," he added.

Yang Ruoqing frowned slightly.

This is really a huge expense.

If she didn't plan to build a new house, she could easily sponsor him with the money.

However, half of the new house has been built and it is impossible to stop. If it stops, the previous half of the investment will be wasted.

"Three months' money can still be taken out if I arrange it here." She continued.

"It's just that after these three months, things have become a little tight again!" she said.

Luo Fengtang raised his hand and rubbed her hair.

"Your money is accumulated slowly from one business to another. Even if you want to sponsor, I can't bear to take it!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Don't say stupid things, my money is your money."

"Now that you are in trouble, I should give you my full support!" she said again.

Luo Fengtang looked moved.

"Qing'er, don't worry about me about military pay."

"I plan to go to Qing'an County in two days to talk to the county governor about this matter. Maybe I can get some money." He finally said.

"But……"

"Nothing." He interrupted her.

"I'm a man. I can handle matters in the military. Keep your money for yourself!"

…

Luo Fengtang left just when it was getting dark.

The next day, when Yang Ruoqing came to the kitchen for breakfast, Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Uncle Luo came this morning and asked our family to go to his house for lunch in the morning."

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily.

On the second day after a new daughter-in-law enters the house, according to the custom in this area, she has to get up early and cook a hearty breakfast for her husband's family.

Since Blacksmith Luo's parents had been dead for decades, Wang Cuilian had no right to show her filial piety.

So, I thought of having a lunch myself and invited Yang Ruoqing's family over.

In the morning, Yang Huazhong and his family came to Blacksmith Luo's house carrying gifts.

Blacksmith Luo stood in the yard, looking very energetic.

Wang Cuilian changed into simple home clothes, with an apron around her waist, and stood beside him.

Seeing the large troops of Yang Huazhong's family coming in, the couple greeted each other with smiles and smiles.

In the main room, after Yang Huazhong and Mr. Sun sat down, Luo Fengtang was making tea and taking cigarettes.

Blacksmith Luo was chatting with Yang Huazhong.

Here, Wang Cuilian came to Xiao An with a whole plate of pastries.

"Xiao An, come and have a piece of cake."

Xiao An took a piece.

Yang Ruoqing said hurriedly: "Xiao An, why don't you say thank you for just taking the cakes?"

Xiao An raised his head and said to Wang Cuilian in a childish voice: "Thank you, aunt."

"Haha, be good."

Wang Cuilian touched Xiao An's tiger head lovingly, then turned around and went to greet Da An and Xiao Hua Xiaoduo.

The atmosphere in the room is very good.

Wang Cuilian said: "Brother Luo, you greet the third child and the others, I will go to the kitchen first."

Blacksmith Luo nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Wang Cuilian smiled at Mrs. Sun again, turned around and went to the kitchen.
