He Lao

　　Every household in the village came out, including the elders who were reluctant to go out before, now holding their grandchildren’s hands with smiling faces. In their impression, it is rare for Pingshan Village to be so lively and it is even livelier than the Chinese New Year.

　　Some people brought stools over, some gathered firewood to build an earthen stove, and some brought out pots and pans from their homes. There was a family that often cooked for others and had a particularly large iron pot at home, so they also brought it. At this time, no one cared about who brought less and who would take advantage, and the laughter could be heard from far away.

　　After the men started to slaughter the wild animals, the middle-aged and young gers in the village took the initiative to take on the task of washing and cooking. The children asked for pig intestines and played in the threshing ground, looking at the pile of meat with envy and drooling from time to time. Occasionally they bumped into adults, but no one blamed them for having too much fun today.

　　Tang Chunming was pulled by Shen Fulang to sit on a chair earlier on, those sitting around him were all elderly people or pregnant like him. Fortunately, Shen Fulang was there to chat with him, otherwise, he would be bored to death staying with them. The key point was that he wasn’t interested in the topics they talked about.

　　Tang Chunming had sent away Zhang Xiu and Wang Mo to help, was he so delicate that he needs to be carefully taken care of? Or is it that Shen Fulang is worried about him and that’s why he stayed?

　　Tang Chunming looked at A-Lin who was having fun with other children not far away, and beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. Because his life was getting better and better, and there was a little horse that made the children in the village fonder of him, he also became bolder.

  So he could gradually play with the children in the village, especially now that Da Mao had almost become the leader of the group of children, among the children of similar age, he could read and practice martial arts and gained many followers in the village.

   With his words, since the older children would not despise A-Lin’s young age, they would not refuse to play with him.

　　Li Feng washed his hands and came to Tang Chunming’s side, everyone around him smiled at him kindly, knowing that he had come to see Ming’er and made way for him. Tang Chunming and Shen Fulang looked at him curiously: “What are you doing here? Are you done over there?”

　　”No,” Li Feng was too embarrassed to make intimate gestures in front of others. Instead, he sat on the stool beside him and said, “Uncle said something, and I want to ask Ming’er’s opinion. Uncle saw that there is a lot of prey today, and we certainly can’t finish it in one meal.”

 “There will be a lot left, Uncle means to leave the rest to us, except for those given away, the rest should be sold. The money from the sales can be used, to build ancestral halls in the village or to subsidize the lonely elderly. What do you think, Ming’er?”

 Because they can’t just eat meat without vegetables, every household tries to take out some vegetables, so there will be leftover meat.

　　Tang Chunming raised his eyebrows, he didn’t expect that this idea was from Li Feng, after establishing his power in the village, this guy decided to do good deeds.

     No matter who it was, he would be grateful to him, he was not a stingy person. Besides, he was not short of money, the village head asked Li Feng to do good deeds. Of course, he would not hinder him. After all, he would be the beneficiary in the future. He smiled and said, “Okay, this is a good idea. What do you think, uncle?”

　Shen Fulang also smiled: “Of course I support it, I said that Feng Xiaozi is a kind-hearted person. If it were someone else, they would not be willing to spend so much money.” 

    Whether there is a shortage of money or not is another matter, and it is not the case that just because someone is rich, he will take out money to give to others.

　　”Okay then, I’ll ask Yu Mu to send someone to the town and ask Manager Qi from Jin Ji to come and take a look, It would be best if he could buy all of it. I’ll also send some over to A’mu’s place. When I come back, I can pick up A Rong to come have some fun together.” Li Feng’s eyes were gentle.

　　”Well, A Rong will definitely like it, he was still thinking about it when he left this morning.” Tang Chunming agreed.

　　It was a quick trip to the town on horseback when the aroma wafted out from the threshing ground, and Manager Qi’s carriage also arrived. Unexpectedly, Teng Yu followed again. Not only did he follow, but he also brought a juggling troupe with him, they set up a simple stage in the threshing ground and started performing.

　　”Don’t be polite with me, village head, It’s just a coincidence that they are in town, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to call them even if I wanted to Tang Fulang and I are partners and I’m counting on him to take my restaurant business to a higher level in the future.” Teng Yu waved his hand and said gently in response to the village head’s gratitude.

　　The village head could also guess that Young Master Teng acted like this on the one hand for Ming Ge’er’s sake, and on the other hand because of the soldiers who came because of Feng Xiaozi.

    Seeing Li Feng’s face having no strange expression, he smiled and said no more. However, he arranged a table for Young Master Teng and Shopkeeper Qi and sat them together with Yu Mu and other soldiers.

　　Tang Chunrong, who was brought over, was of course very happy. His future brother-in-law knew that he was still thinking about it, so he slightly raised his favorability towards him.

    As for the rest, it depends on his future performance: “Brother, it’s really lively. Our Zhenshan Village has never been so lively before, I remember that the rich man in the next village invited a troupe to perform in the village when he celebrated his birthday. At that time, I secretly ran over to watch the show without telling my mother, but it was not as lively as it is now.”

　　Although Tang Chunrong was not allowed to drink, his face was flushed by the sparks. A-Lin, who was having fun, leaned on Li Feng’s arms, trying to open his eyes wide to watch the acrobatics on the stage, but couldn’t help closing his eyes to sleep.

　　Tang Chunming also kept smiling, in his previous life, such a lively scene could only be seen in the village when the cultural center came down to show movies. But there was no meat to eat, so everyone’s faces were full of smiles and their mouths were full of grease.

   As for the men, they gathered together to drink and watch the acrobatics, and could not help clapping their thighs and cheering loudly when they saw the exciting parts.

　　Of course, there were some discordant moments, Tang Chunming was surprised that Li Feng’s cousin would come over to talk to him with an expression that he wanted to please him.

   But Tang Chunming had also been in society, how could he fail to notice the emotions in the eyes of a child of this age? The jealousy that he couldn’t even conceal made him laugh.

    On the one hand, he was jealous and looked down on him, but on the other hand, he wanted to please him. He didn’t even feel tired. What he said implied that he wanted him to speak well of their family in front of Li Feng, as if this was the only way to show his virtue and that men would only like such a ger.

　You bastard, you are hinting to me that I should be virtuous, get out of here!

　　Because it was an event for the whole village, Li Conggen’s family also showed up. Of course, many people didn’t pay attention to them. At most, they would say a few words to them for the sake of saving face, but no one attended to them.

       Everyone knew who was responsible for today’s excitement, it was really disgusting that several people in their family openly and secretly said that the villagers had benefited from his nephew. Li Feng hadn’t even said anything yet, and they were asking their family to come forward to ask for favors.

　　Therefore, after someone noticed the impatience on Tang Chunming’s face, they quickly found an excuse to pull the young man away.

      An unmarried young ger actually talked to others about being virtuous and what kind of ger is popular with men. It was a shame for him to be so thick-skinned to say that, he was so shameless.

　　Many people from the Zhao family also came, when Wang Chunhua ate the meat, he was no slower than others, including his son. But his little ger Zhao Mei made people feel sorry for him. Someone pulled him aside, put a few pieces of meat in his bowl, and told him to eat quickly.

　　Li Feng supported Tang Chunming and walked back slowly, Teng Yu and Manager Qi also left, and they hurried back to the town at night. The sleeping A-Lin was handed over to Yu Mu.

　　Li Feng’s eyes sparkled in the moonlight, and he said, “I didn’t drink tonight, and I didn’t let them drink too much.”

　　The look in his eyes must be waiting for his praise, Tang Chunming couldn’t help but reach out and touch his face and said, “Well, drink less.” The soldiers following behind couldn’t bear to look at him.

     Is this really their boss who can scare the northern barbarians into trembling? They didn’t expect that the boss would one day become so soft-hearted for a ger.

　Looking at Yu Mu, that bastard, he was willing to carry the little ger, Well, the little ger was indeed lovable, one or two people were captivated by this ger in a short time, which made people sigh at how powerful this ger was.

　　”If you ask me, he is actually pretty nice ger, he is straightforward and honest, and the most important thing is that he looks at us calmly.” Someone whispered.

   Some of them were already married, some were just lovers, and they had contact with those gers before.

    Those with better conditions looked down on them as military men because they thought they were rude, while those with average conditions put forward all kinds of conditions, especially the dowry alone was enough to give them a headache, so many of them would rather return to their hometown and let their families help them find a ger.

　　”Yes, the scar on the eldest brother’s face was still very obvious at that time, didn’t you see that the other gers were so scared that they didn’t dare to approach him? Later, the official couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted his younger ger to marry brother Feng.”

“But before the matter was finalized, his younger Ger sneaked out to see the eldest brother. Not only did he not want to marry him, but he also made a big fuss about it, making the eldest brother lose face and become a nobody. In the end, the eldest brother left before the matter was settled.”

　　Thinking of this incident made all the brothers angry, to be honest, the eldest brother was injured because he was trying to save that official. If he wanted to repay him, he shouldn’t do it in this way.

    Letting their younger ger ridicule the eldest brother in front of so many people, If he weren’t his younger ger, they would have gone up and beat him up long ago.

　　Although the official had apologized beforehand and said that he must give the younger ger to the eldest brother, saying that marriage was a matter of parents’ decision and the younger ger could not make his own decision. 

   They all knew that this marriage was the official’s one-sided wish, wanting to repay their brother Feng for saving his life, but none of his family members agreed, not only because they thought eldest brother Feng looked fierce and ugly, but also because he was a country bumpkin and was not worthy of a wealthy family like theirs.

　　He was so good that he did not consider the eldest brother’s feelings and whether he was willing to accept such an arrangement. Maybe in his opinion, it was a great blessing for the eldest brother to marry his ger, and the eldest brother should happily accept it.

     But the final result was that the eldest brother was forced to leave, and none of the brothers felt sorry for the eldest brother.

　　”That’s right, I think this ger is the best. Just look at the boss’s expression, he is so considerate. I’ve never seen him like that before.”

　　The voice behind was a little loud, causing Li Feng to look behind him. Several people quickly shut their mouths, and Tang Chunming glanced back with a smile.

    The person who broke the news earlier suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He would not ruin the boss’s image, would he? Wouldn’t he settle accounts with the boss tonight? Then would the boss settle accounts with him tomorrow?

　　When they got home, Tang Chunming looked at Li Feng with a half-smile and said teasingly, “Oh? There is a family that is eager to marry their ger to you? And it’s an official’s son?”

　　Li Feng really wanted to pick up those chatterboxes and give them a good beating, because they had too much time to talk about these boring things. But seeing Ming Ge’er’s eyes, Li Feng touched his nose and turned around to get some water to wipe the sleeping A-Lin’s face and hands. 

   After wiping, he changed to another basin of water for Ming Ge’er to wash his hands and face. His eyes wandered a little, and he said uncomfortably: “Well, didn’t I tell you all this?”

　　”You only said that someone proposed marriage to you, but you didn’t agree.” Li Feng said it too simply. If he hadn’t paid attention to the conversation between the people behind him, he wouldn’t have known that there was a complicated process in between. “Did you really resign to avoid that ger?”

　　”How is that possible!” Li Feng glared at the cunning ger, “My resignation had nothing to do with that family. It’s just that I was tired of taking sides and want to have some peace and quiet, I also wanted to come back and take a look.”

 To see the place where he lived with his father and mother, and to finish what he should finish. If he hadn’t met Ming Ge’er, he might not have stayed.

　　”I got it. Okay, you can go back,  don’t let Yu Mu and the others wait too long.” Tang Chunming punched Li Feng unceremoniously.

　　Li Feng poured out the water, turned back, and stared at Tang Chunming’s face uncertainly. When Tang Chunming was about to lose his patience, he said, “Ming’er, are you really not angry anymore?”

　　Tang Chunming couldn’t help but laugh: “I wasn’t angry in the first place, what’s there to be angry about? Go back quickly, I want to go to bed too.”

　　Li Feng was relieved and asked Ming Ge’er to send him out, Tang Chunming was not angry. It was not like Li Feng had set his eyes on that ger and wanted to marry him.

     Why would he be jealous? Besides, in the eyes of others he had a past(he is a widow) and that, he, Tang Chunming, had gotten a great bargain. Tang Chunming was helpless, he could not deny that he was not the ‘brother Ming’ of the past. No matter what, he was reborn in this body, and he had to bear everything left in this body, whether it was good or bad.

　　The only thing he was thankful for was that his predecessor didn’t leave behind a mess that was difficult to clean up. If Zhao Dahu was still alive, how could a grown man like him submit to living a miserable life with such a person? Otherwise, he would either drive the person crazy or drive himself crazy.

 Even if they divorced in the end, A-Lin’s fate would be enough to give him a headache, it wouldn’t have been easy to take him away.

　　So although it was a bit insensitive to be glad that Zhao Dahu never came back, Tang Chunming, who had inevitably become selfish and cold after his time outside, couldn’t help but think so.

　　All the remaining meat was sold that night, most of it was taken away by Jinji, and the rest was sold to villagers at low prices. Even Tang Chunming spent money to buy some wild boar meat and deer meat. 

     As for a few young wild boars, the village head finally decided, that those who were willing to take them home to raise would pay some money as a token of their appreciation. The money would be kept for the village instead of being used by any family privately, so the villagers did not have much objection and the young boars were quickly taken away.

　　Zhang Xiu also got one, spending only half the price of a domestic pig, and said that he would give one to Tang Chunming when he slaughtered it at the end of the year.

　　The village head kept an account of all the money he had earned and said that he would hire people to renovate the ancestral hall after Tang Chunming finished his work, other expenses would be decided after consultation with the village elders.

　　The next day, Li Feng was still going to lead people into the mountains to continue clearing the mountaintops, Tang Chunming also called Da Mao and his friends over and gave them a task, asking them to bring a few playmates with them to follow Li Feng and his friends into the mountains to find out what wild fruits were edible in the mountains and to remember them and come back to tell him.

　　Tang Chunming did not plan to clear the mountain and then replant the fruit trees. Instead, he planned to make reasonable distribution based on the local materials. There were already some economic crops in the mountain, and it would be bad to clear all of them.

　　He remembered that there were wild chestnut trees, wild grapes, sour jujubes, wolfberries, honeysuckle, and the like in the mountains. In fact, if these were well maintained, all of them would make money.

　　Da Mao was very happy, he gathered a group of friends of similar age and went into the mountains with Li Feng to carry out the task assigned to him. The adults in the village were confident about their safety, usually, these children would pick wild fruits and other things on the outskirts of the mountain.

　　After a few days, Li Feng, Da Mao, and their friends had a great harvest, following Tang Chunming’s plan, they cleared the land at the foot of the mountain, built two chicken coops, and fenced off two large pieces of land, preparing to move the chickens originally raised in the yard there. Now they are building a house at the foot of the mountain for the farmers to live in.

　　Li Feng wanted to let Yu Mu and the others stay to help with the work, they had only cleared the foot of the mountain, less than half of the land.

    But he knew that the military camp would not wait for them, so he had to send away the soldiers who had been working hard for several days. Before leaving, Yu Mu took the opportunity to complain to Tang Chunming about his boss.

　　Watching the people go away, Tang Chunming smiled and said, “It’s really hard for them this time, they came here as if they were working for us.” To reward them, Tang Chunming finally cooked a good meal. Finally, those soldiers understood why Yu Mu always clamored to eat the food cooked by Brother Ming.

      No wonder the boss had always stopped his ger from cooking, it turned out that he was afraid that they ate the food cooked by his ger, they would not want to eat other people’s food, and the boss was getting more and more cunning.

　　”It’s still too far, if it were closer, maybe we could bring more people to help us clean up the entire mountain.” Li Feng said unsatisfied.

　　Tang Chun understood him at a glance: “Be content, take your time, even if were to be sorted out now, it would still be empty and overgrown with grass.” 

    Planning must be done step by step, how can the entire mountain be utilized so quickly? “Have you found the people to look after the chickens? Once you have, the ones in the yard over here can be moved out, and then catch a batch of chicks and raise them in the yard first.” 

      First, raise them in the yard with space spring water, and when the chicks have adapted and their resistance has increased, release them to the foot of the mountain.

    In addition, prepare to sprinkle some grass seeds in the area where chickens are raised and raise them with water mixed with space spring water, the chickens that grow up in this way will definitely be healthier.

　　”I’ve thought of two people, Ming’gee how about this” Li Feng discussed with Ming Ge’er as he supported him as they walked back. “One is Uncle Liu’s son, and the other is Uncle Tie. They are both honest men, we don’t have to worry about them cheating or doing anything shady. They will just do their best to raise the chickens well.”

　　Uncle Liu’s son Tang Chunming knew that he was an honest person, and like his ger, he was almost silent and had a small sense of presence.

     The couple will definitely do the job perfectly without any fault, as long as they are told. People could only feel at ease when handing things over to them. Moreover, not to mention the couple, even Uncle Liu’s character was trustworthy.

　　As for Uncle Tie, Tang Chunming didn’t have much contact with him, but Li Feng mentioned some things in the past to him. When Li Feng’s parents were alive and after they passed away, they took good care of their family. Before he was sent to the north, his uncle treated him badly, but Uncle Tie often invited him to dinner. Uncle Tie had a good hand-weaving skill. Most of the baskets used in the village were bought from his family. 

  However, he broke his leg in his early years and has been lame ever since. Although he had a hand-weaving skill to support himself, he borrowed money when his husband was sick, so life was still tight.

　　Li Feng always remembered the people who were good to him, so he wanted to take this opportunity to take care of Uncle Tie. Of course, this required Ming Ge’er’s consent.

    Li Feng did not want to make a unilateral decision, however, after Li Feng mentioned it, Tang Chunming remembered the middle-aged man. When he met him in the grain-drying field that day, he smiled kindly at him. It was obviously because of Li Feng, but he did not come up to him like other people to get close to him and look for work from him.

　　Now everyone in the village knows that they are recruiting people to work in the mountain, or buying vegetable seedlings, so Tang Chunming doesn’t mind him coming over in advance to get close to him. He really needs manpower, and there is no reason for him to reject anyone willing to work hard.

　　”It’s up to you to decide, I have no objection. You can talk to them later and see who will go over to guard the house first when it’s completed.” There are two chicken coops. They will use one first and then put the other one into use when the chicken population grows.

　　”Okay, then I’ll talk to Uncle Liu first, it’s just the beginning, so the person who looking after it has to be more careful.” They also have to keep an eye out for any wild animals coming down the mountain to catch chickens. Although they have just cleaned up, there is no guarantee that it has been thoroughly cleaned, and Uncle Liu’s son is young after all.

　　”Okay.” Tang Chunming was happy to be a carefree boss since someone was worrying about him.

　　After the house was built, Tang Chunming went to take a look. Uncle Liu’s son was tidying up the house. When he saw him coming, he came out quickly, he was too tongue-tied to say anything, but his eyes were full of gratitude.

  The entire chicken coop was handed over to the couple, and they had a place to live and could earn five hundred Wen a month. They would not be able to find such a job even in town.

　　Uncle Liu also brought Xiao Zhuzi over. Xiao Zhuzi’s personality is like his parents, a very introverted little ger.

　　”Ming Amo, Uncle Feng.” The little ger called shyly and looked behind Tang Chunming with disappointment in his eyes.

　　”Want to play with A-Lin? Ask your grandfather to bring you to my house, and Uncle Liu, if the child wants to go and play, just send him there.” 

    The child obviously liked to go to his house and play with A-Lin and the others, but he was often not there. Tang Chunming knew in his heart that it was the adults who didn’t want him to bother them.

　　Uncle Liu laughed twice: “This kid knows how to accompany me now, I’ll take him over when I’m free. Brother Ming, this is all thanks to you and Feng Xiaozi for giving them a job. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to do anything even with a stick. I was worried about how they were going to live in the future.”

　　He has two children, the younger ger who passed away was timid and committed suicide because he couldn’t think straight. He only knows how to work hard,  Uncle Liu sometimes wonders if he is too strong-willed and that is why he made his child have such a character, but the children are now grown up and he can’t change it anymore.

　　”Where will Uncle Liu go? No matter what, A-Lin calls you Grandpa Liu.” Tang Chunming waved his hand indifferently, it didn’t matter who he did it for. Of course, he would do it for someone close and trustworthy.

　　Uncle Liu knew that Brother Ming’s words were polite, to put it bluntly, no one in the Zhao family now considers A-Lin as a member of the Zhao family, and Ming’er doesn’t consider A-Lin as a member of the Zhao family either.

     He knew very well that Ming’ger took care of him, so he could only tell his son and his wife to help Ming’ger with his work. People should be grateful and repay kindness, and not go against their conscience.

　　”Brother Ming, I have something to discuss with you.” The expression on Uncle Liu’s face became a little cautious, and he did not avoid Li Feng.

　　Tang Chunming and Li Feng looked at each other, not knowing what Uncle Liu was going to say so seriously: “Uncle Liu, what is it?”

　　”Alas, it’s the little boy from the Huang family, he is still being raised at the village head’s house, I was thinking,” he said, gnashing his teeth as he glanced at his eldest grandson, “Bring him home and raise him as a young husband for Xiao Zhuzi.”

    Tong Yang Xi?^[1]TL’s note; Child bride

  Tang Chunming was dumbfounded, at first, when he heard the name, Huang family’s little ger, Tang Chunming thought that Uncle Liu was thinking of adopting him.

   He knew that Uncle Liu liked children, but he didn’t expect the name, Tong Yang Xi. Somehow, he remembered that A-Lin almost became a Tong Yang Xi when he first came here.

　　Moreover, Xiao Zhuzi is very young, and his grandfather wants to find a ger to marry him. Tang Chunming looked at Xiao Zhuzi with a strange look, but it was unacceptable for him, a person who received modern education, to accept it all at once.

　　Li Feng pressed Ming Ge’er’s shoulder and said to Uncle Liu: “Uncle Liu, are you worried that if you directly adopt the little ger, the Huang family will come to the door, so you raise him as a Child bride?”

      If he is raised as a child bride, the little ger will not be considered a member of the Huang family, and there will be no reason for the Huang family to cause trouble in the future. In fact, whether he is adopted or raised as a child bride, Uncle does not have to worry about the Huang family appearing again.

     The night before Yu Mu left, Li Feng instructed him to get things done so that the three members of the Huang family would never appear in Anping County again in their lifetime.

　”That was my concern,” said Uncle Liu, a little embarrassed. He felt that he was embarrassing Ming Ge’er by doing this. After all, the little ger’s biological father had plotted against Ming’er. After thinking about it, he gave up the sympathy in his heart and said, “Why not let Shen Fulang find another family outside?”

　　”Uncle Liu,” Tang Chunming also reacted, smiled, and shook his head, “Uncle Liu, what are you thinking about? I was just worried about being a Tong Yang Xi. My son A-Lin almost ended up in Tong Yang Xi’s situation.

      But with a good family like Uncle Liu’s, it’s not a bad place for the ger. If he is really sent to a family outside who we don’t know, I’m afraid Shen Fulang and some villagers would be worried about him. Is there anyone who doesn’t know Uncle Liu’s character?”

　　It’s just a child, how could Tang Chunming vent his anger about Huang Sigou’s matter on the child? Moreover, he knew very well the personalities of Uncle Liu’s family, such a family won’t mistreat a child.

　　As for Tong Yang Xi, Tang Chunming could only ignore it. This was not the modern society, it was normal for children to get engaged at birth. It would be strange if he rashly opposed it.

　　Li Feng gave Uncle Liu a look, and Uncle Liu then remembered that there were some things that Ming Ge’er wasn’t aware of. But seeing that Li Feng didn’t object, he smiled with ease: “I’ll talk to the village head and Shen Fulang later to see if there are other families who want to raise the child.”

　　Uncle Liu went to help, and at this time he wanted to do more for Brother Ming. Li Feng walked slowly with Tang Chunming, the land they had sorted out was about seven or eight acres in area. A fence was built outside, and the tall trees inside were left there for the time being.

     Seeds were sown in the empty spaces, and because they were watered with some space spring water, they have now sprouted. At a glance, it looks like a green carpet, which looks very comfortable.

　”This place is left for the couple to grow vegetables, they can eat the vegetables, and the leftovers can be used to feed chickens. The land over there is prepared to dig a pond as you said, Ming’ge’er, they can then raise fish, lotus roots, and ducks.”

    There is vacant land between the two chicken coops, and it will be convenient for the two families to manage it. Although everything is still in its beginning, Li Feng feels that what Ming’ge’er said can be achieved, and the returns will be even greater than farming.

　　”Well, we’ll plant a row of willow trees beside the pond, and then at this time in the future we can bring A-Lin to sit under the willow trees and fish together.” Tang Chunming also pointed in that direction and fantasized.

　　Li Feng’s eyes showed a warm and satisfied smile because he was part of Ming Ge’er’s fantasy, Ming Ge’er really regarded him as a family member: “Okay, I will have people plant willow trees when the time comes, you must be tired, let’s go back.”

　　”Okay.” Tang Chunming said helplessly. When would this torture-like situation end?

　　On the way back, Li Feng mentioned something: “Ming Ge’er, I see that your delivery day is approaching, you know the relationship between Dr. He and me. I think we should find a time to bring him over so that someone can take care of you.”

    As he spoke, he looked at Ming Ge’er’s belly, he had never experienced these things, but as the day got closer, the more nervous he became.

   Sometimes he would get up in the middle of the night and climb over the wall to check on Ming Ge’er, for fear that something might happen at night and there would be no one to take care of him.

　　Even Tang Chunming could see Li Feng’s nervousness, seeing him so nervous, he actually relaxed a little. It was just a hurdle, if he could get through it, he would have a bright future. So it was no big deal.

　　He also knew about Doctor He, the old doctor who saved Li Feng when he was sent to serve in the army. Later, he took good care of him in the army and taught him a set of medicinal knowledge.

    It can be said that Li Feng was able to survive in the beginning and later show his skills and achievements on the northern battlefield, all thanks to the help of this old doctor.

   Tang Chunming was naturally grateful, but worriedly asked: “Doctor He does he have anyone else in his family? Wouldn’t his family say anything if we just bring the old doctor here?”

　　”I didn’t explain it clearly last time, He Lao was exiled to the north after being punished by the palace during the reign of the previous emperor. At that time, he only had a married ger. However, his in-laws’ family not only did not help him but also stabbed him in the back.”

      “Later, He Lao got news from the north that his son had died of illness a year after he was punished. When the new emperor came to the throne, He Lao wanted to avenge his son, so he asked someone to help him clear his name and report his in-laws.”

     “In the end, his in-laws didn’t end up well, but after all, He Lao was the only one left. I originally wanted to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end, but he refused to agree.”

　　Li Feng said somewhat uncomfortably, he had always wanted to find an opportunity to tell his ger. Originally, he just wanted to come back and take back the things that were occupied by his uncle’s family, and then go to Dingzhou Prefecture to live with Doctor He, he didn’t expect that plans could not keep up with changes, and he was the first to be trapped here.

　　Tang Chunming glanced at him, and he could guess what he was thinking: “Okay, go and get the doctor, the old doctor has a hard time alone, and it’s great to have him here. If I have a minor illness, you don’t have to call Doctor Hu anymore. I won’t have to listen to Doctor Hu’s lectures every time, maybe the two old men can even learn from each other about medical skills.”

　　”Okay!” Li Feng quickly agreed.
