Xu Zhengyong was busy cooking Although he did not say any words of praise, his appetite had explained the matter well.
He was not surprised by Wei Ruo's cooking skills, as he ate more than everyone present.
I think back then he often lit fires for Sister Ruoer and Junior Sister Xiumei, and was even struck by Sister Xiumei because he was unable to control the fire properly!
It was at that moment that he secretly decided to practice martial arts hard, surpass Xiumei, and let him call him senior brother convincingly in the future, hehe!
After cooking the food for Wei Mingting and the others, Wei Ruo raised the pot and cooked some dishes for the soldiers and villagers who were digging the tunnel.
Due to the amount of food required by many, each large pot was only enough to cook one dish.To save time and keep the food hot, the women of each family and Wei Ruo worked together, some make a decoction of radishes, and some cook stir-fry vegetables, some cook, some make bakpao.
Wei Ruo made a large pot of horseradish stew. Pork is given by the villagers. Wei Ruo was reluctant to use it when cooking for them, so he used it here.
Although the meat is less and the radishes are more, radishes with the taste of meat are just as delicious.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also led people to deliver prepared food to soldiers and commoners digging tunnels.
About the same time, women from other families came up with a large pot filled with hot food.
I don't know if it's because I'm tired of working, or because the food is good, but everyone eats really well.
Although the eating environment was bad, everyone was very happy, the villagers were grateful to the army, and the soldiers were also moved by the enthusiasm of the villagers.
In this cold, wet, cold little mountain village, there was a warm current that resounded in the hearts of everyone.
After finishing their work, Wei Ruo and the others stayed at the farmhouse, due to the limited rooms, the three men rested in one room, and Wei Ruo got a room by himself.
Some of them are not irritable people, and simply have a home to take shelter from the wind and rain.
Due to the busy day, Wei Ruo fell asleep early and slept until dawn.
On the morning of the second day, as soon as everyone woke up, a subordinate came to report: "Master Qian, the path is open! There is a small walkway for pedestrians! People from the outside are already in." Everyone's joint work is indispensable for quick travel efforts
.
Except for Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong who were stuck in the middle of the night last night and asked to sleep overnight, the other soldiers took turns digging all night, even the surrounding community spontaneously took turns working all night.
At the same time, the people from the yamen outside and the porters brought by Wei Jinyi were also staying over, so they could dig very quickly.
"Good, good! You all work hard!" Wei Mingting was very pleased.
Soon after, he ordered: "Let the needy pass by
in the past, we weren't in a hurry." Wei Mingting ordered his subordinates to wait for a while, and wait for those who wanted to come out in the village to come out first, then lead the subordinates to leave.
When Wei Ruo packed his things and was about to leave, he realized that Wei Jinyi was not in the farmyard.
After asking, I learned that Wei Jin did not rest in the room last night, but went to dig the tunnel with others.
When he returned, Wei Ruo saw that he was wearing a rough jacket borrowed from the villagers, not because he liked his clothes, but because his original clothes had long hems and large arms, it is uncomfortable to work.
Even though he was wearing a rough cloth and short clothes, he still could not hide his elegance.
Wei Jin also returned to his room to change clothes, and left two taels of silver on the bed as gifts to stay over and borrow clothes.
After that, some people left Xishan Village.
After leaving the village, Wei Mingting asked his soldiers to return to rest first, those whose families were in Xingshan County went straight home;
After entering the city, Xu Zhengyong also separated from Wei Ruo and the others, he wanted to go home to keep his parents safe, as long as he lost contact, his parents also had to be very worried.
In the end, Wei Mingting had to bring Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi back to the Wei Mansion.
Wei Jin also did not go to Cangyun Park, he walked into the backyard with Wei Ruo.
Along the way, Wei Ruo saw that Wei Jinyi looked a little tired, so he did not say anything to her, until Wei Ruo returned to Tingsongyuan, the two of them did not communicate.
###
Wei Mingting returned to Cangyun Park, seeing Wei Mingting return safely, Yun tears flowed like rain.
Wei Mingting knew that he had frightened his wife, but he did not know how to comfort her, so he could only hug her to comfort her.
Then Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan also rushed over.
"Dad, glad you're okay!" Wei Qingwan rushed forward, tears streaming down her face like Yun tears.
Wei Yichen looked at his father, full of excitement, but was speechless.
After a while, Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan calmed down and stopped crying.
"Thank God that my husband could return safely this time! Ancestor bless you!"Yun said with emotion.
Wei Mingting shook his head and said, "No, it's not God's blessing that I came back this time, but Jin Yi and Ruo'er went to look for me regardless of their own safety. If not for Ruo'er's intelligence, I might have already stepped on the path to hell by now.
" Shi looked at Wei Mingting in surprise, "Ruo'er and Jin Yi went to look for you?"
Wei Mingting nodded, "The two children are kind. They not only saved the people in the south of the city, but also me."
Listening to Wei Mingting's words, Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan also showed shocked expressions.
After Wei Yichen was startled, her expression was elated and respectful: "The eldest sister is more capable and courageous than I am."
Wei Qingwan's face was slightly stiff.

Then, Xiaobei came to Tingsongyuan and brought Wei Ruo a box of goods.
"These are some of the new items the young master saw as he left. I bought it for the oldest woman. "
A big box full of stuff, including blush and gouache for my daughter's house, accessories like hairpins and flowers, and some weird stuff.
After Wei Ruo received the items, he personally went to Yingzhu Park to thank Wei Jinyi.
Pushing at the door of Yingzhu Park, Wei Ruo saw a familiar figure in a familiar place.
Wei Ruo walked into the pavilion, sat down on the empty seat next to him, and looked at what Wei Jinyi had written on the paper.
"I've received a gift from Second Brother, thank you Second Brother."
"Yes." Yeah."
"I have something for you too." Wei Ruo took out a dagger from his hand and handed it to Wei Jinyi.
This dagger was made together with the craftsman last time when it was made for Xu Zhengyong.
Wei Jin also glanced at the dagger, and asked, "Is it the same as the one you gave Vice Xu?" "
Not exactly the same, although the blades inside are similar, but the sheath and handle are different." Wei Ruo said.
"Yes." Yeah." Wei Jin turned his gaze back to the calligraphy and painting in his hand with a blank look.
