Chapter 402 Wei Chengyi Returns Home

"Ahh..."

The little boy sitting in the stroller cried out twice, unwilling to be lonely. Yun Mengyi quickly scooped up a spoonful of pork bone porridge and put it into his mouth: "Don't say it, this kimchi stewed with pork bones is really delicious. The more you eat, the more you want to eat."

"Ah."

Zhao Yuping smiled and nodded in agreement. Her family liked to eat stew in winter.

"It's not just stewed pork bones, kimchi tastes good no matter how you cook it."

Wei Chenghe continued while eating, "When I was in the military camp, the cooks would make a pot of soup with kimchi and a few pork bones every day. Many people liked the sour and salty taste, and they could eat two large bowls of rice with the soup. In addition, the cooks would stir-fry the chopped kimchi with oil, which was also very delicious and the soldiers liked it very much."

In previous winters, the soldiers had basically no vegetables to eat, and the soup they made was just made with some oil and salt. But last year, with the advent of kimchi, the cooks had more ideas. Moreover, my second brother and his colleagues sympathized with the hard work of the soldiers, and they specially asked the people in charge of purchasing to buy large quantities of pork bones every day. The soup made with pork bones and kimchi was so delicious that no matter how much the cooks cooked at each meal, the soldiers would drink it up.

"Well, thanks to kimchi, the food in the army has really improved a lot in the past two years."

Not only the food, this year all the soldiers wore warm cotton-padded clothes and were not cold at all. It was many times better than before. From the smiles on their faces, we can see how satisfied they are with their current life.

"Is that all right?"

Seeing that they were so satisfied just because they had kimchi, Zhao Yuping couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. Life in the military camp was really hard.

"Mom, you can't look down on the food in the barracks."

Putting down his chopsticks, Shen Xiangwan pretended to be serious and said, "From what I know, most of the troops can only eat rice soaked in salt water in winter. No, to be more precise, they can't even eat rice. Almost all they can eat is some soup. In our barracks, we can have full meals every day, and we can also make soup and stir-fry for the soldiers. This is already a luxury."

"Yes, yes, this is all thanks to you, okay?"

The slight discomfort was shattered in an instant, and Zhao Yuping pretended to be helpless and chose to surrender.

"hehe···"

Without responding to her words, Shen Xiangwan just smiled. After dinner, the children took the firecrackers and took the wolf and the dog out to play. Shen Xiangwan and the others gathered in the main room to chat. Most of the time, Zhao Yuping was asking Wei Chenghe about the various things in the military camp. Shen Xiangwan seldom interrupted, only occasionally agreeing with a word or two. However, the little girl was amused by her and screamed from time to time.

"Drip!"

Around 3 p.m., the car horn sounded again, and soon, Wei Chengyi came in from outside. Today he was wearing a black suit with dark patterns, and a fur cloak of the same color on the outside, which made his tall figure look even more slender. Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but lick her lips with her tongue as she looked at him. Brother Chengyi is so damn handsome, I want to fuck him!

Wei Chengyi, who had long locked onto her, naturally saw her seductive movements and revealing eyes, and his smiling eyes suddenly became deeper. He was busy organizing the army recently, and seemed to have neglected his young wife? He must make it up to her tonight.

"Why did you come back at this time?"

Not noticing the silent interaction between the young couple, Zhao Yuping looked at him distressedly and asked, "There are some things in the army that need to be settled."

Wei Chengyi responded casually, then walked over and sat down next to Shen Xiangwan. His eyes naturally fell on Wei Chenghe: "When did you come back?"

In order to prepare for the battle that will come next year, 300,000 of the 400,000 border troops have been transferred to the three border counties, and the remaining 100,000 will follow in ten thousand years. He has already been stationed in the three border counties with the army, while Wei Chenghe and his men have remained in the military camp in the capital city, which is why they did not come back together.

"I'll be back at noon. Second brother, should I go directly to the three border counties after the New Year, or should I go back to the military camp first?"

"The border wall has been almost completed, and the soldiers are being transferred one after another. You will come with me to Dafeng County after the New Year."

They built the city wall much faster than expected, and it is almost finished, with only some finishing work left. Since the city wall was built in a hollow manner, the soldiers can live inside and there is no need to camp in the open air like last year. Moreover, this year facilities such as the central military tent and the military hospital have been moved into the city, and security has been greatly enhanced.

"it is good."

He would be willing to stay at home for a few more days. As long as there was no fighting, it didn't matter if he didn't go to the barracks for the time being.

"Will those Western Hu people come again during the New Year?"

Thinking about what happened last year, Zhao Yuping asked with lingering fear.

"will not."

Shaking his head, Wei Chengyi gave an affirmative answer. Seeing that she was still a little unconvinced, he explained helplessly: "Last year, we had no choice. This year, we have a compass, which can help us identify directions in the grassland. We have been sending scouts deep into the grassland to explore the movements of the Western Hu people. We may not be able to grasp all their information, but their large-scale deployment of troops is definitely not hidden from us. So far, I have not received any information that the Western Hu people have arrived. They can't just drop from the sky, right? So, we should be able to have a peaceful year this year."

He did not receive any news that the Western Hu people had arrived, but he had long received news that the Western Hu people had suffered heavy losses this year, and that almost all of their cattle and sheep had been frozen to death. All tribes were mobilizing troops, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would launch a large-scale invasion once the snow melted a little. However, there was no need to let his mother know about this, lest she become anxious and worried again.

"That's good, that's good!"

Zhao Yuping was finally completely relieved. She not only hoped that they could have a happy New Year in peace and stability, but also hoped that the people could be safe. As long as it was not a surprise attack like last year, with Cheng Yi's ability, he would definitely be able to stop them all and block them outside Chenzhou. She was very sure of this. From her father-in-law to her husband, to her sons, they all gave her enough confidence.

Because of Shen Xiangwan's unconscious seductive behavior during the day, Wei Chengyi did not show any mercy to her at night. The couple tossed and turned for most of the night before they fell asleep contentedly. The next day was New Year's Eve, but the couple did not get up early and slept until almost 9 o'clock in the morning. When they finished washing up and went downstairs, it was almost two quarters past 9 o'clock in the morning.

"Shall we go and put up Spring Festival couplets?"

Everyone in the family was busy. Shen Xiangwan turned to Wei Chengyi and said that he came back too late yesterday. They chatted for a short while before having dinner, and they had not put up the Spring Festival couplets that Mrs. Wan had specially sent to them.

"Ah."

Nodding, Wei Chengyi and Shen Xiangwan picked up the Spring Festival couplets and went out with a small jar of paste.
